HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four hours;
a sediment or settling indicates an I'M
healthy condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is positive
evidence Of kidney trouble. Too fire.
quent desire to urinate or pain in the
back, is also convincing proof that the
kidneys and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfls every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. 1t
corrects inability to hold urine and
soalding pain in passing it, or bad effects
following use of liquor, wine or beer,
and overcomes that unpleasant neces-
sitv of being compelled to get up many
times during the night to urinate. The
mild and extraordinary effect of Swamp
Roog is soon realized. 1t stands the
highest for its wonderful cures Of the
most distressing cases. If you need a
medicine Won should have the best.

one dollar. You may have a sample

THREE MEMORIAL DAYS.
Effect of hay so Falling This Year
on Sunday.

The Milwaukee Sentinel calls atten-
ton to the fact that Memorial day fall
ing on Sunday this year will prolong
services over three days in Wisconsin
cities and villages, some of the Grand
Army posts having services on Saturday,
others on Sunday, and others on Mon
day. Commander Jones issued an order
from department headquarters, asking
the posts to celebrate on Saturday, and
subsequently issued another order max
ing it Monday, the day which will be a
legal holiday in the courts and govern
ment Offices. The second order was too
late, as some of the posts had begun
their arrangements. The date does rot
matter much, since the services every
where are independent of each other,
and interests will not conflict. Wood
County Post No. %, G. A. r., voted at
its last meeting in this city to observe
Decoration Day on Monday, May 81.

The May term of circuit court fol
Wood county convenes at the court
house in this city on Monday next, May
10. The calendar of cases for this term
is about of usual length. The list OF

eted as follows:
Criminal cases 8 in number; issues o:
fact for jury, IS; issues of fact for court
13; issues of law for court, 8; default
cases, 5.
If ability and prominence of attor-
neys, and plenty of council in the same
case portends special activity or hard
suit then there is one matter at least on
the calendar that will be of decided in
terest. 1t is No. 4 on the list under
head Of facts for jury, the case of F. w.
Kickbush, ct. al, of Wausau, VS.. Charles

Thompson, of Oshkosh. Defendants
attorneys are Suverthorn, Hurley, Ryan

lawyers will, no doubt, place many facts
before the court.

Murder on the Increase.

There were 10 542 men, women and
children murdered in the United
States in 1896.
Allowing forty feet to each vehicle
and ten vehicles to each funeral, the
number of persons murdered in the
United States last year would make a
funeral procession eight hundred miles
long.
Travelling at the rate of five miles an
hour it would take six days and sixteen
hours for this procession to pass given
point. Starting at noon on Sunday and
travelling day and night, the last of this
train of tears and blood and blighted
hopes, this product of greed and rage
and lust would pass by at the early hour
of two on the next Sunday morning.
For years this record Of blood has
steadily increased. The number MUIR
dered in 1892 was 6,794; the number in
1896 was 1862. This is all increase in
five years Of nearly 81 per cent, while
the population in the same time in
creased less than y per cent. And yet
in the face of these startling figures the
large majority of religious leaders teach
that the world is getting better, that we
are entering the long-expected millen-
mum.
The authority for these figures is the
Chicago Tribune, which publishes on
January 1st of each year, among other
statistics, the number of homicides dur
ing the previous year. This responsible
journal could have no object in exag-
gerating this record of crime.

| MURDER At MhRSHF|ELD.
Drunken Hoboes Stab and Fatally
Wound Chief OF Police Gerwing
and Assistant, who was Try
ing to Drive Them out of
the City - Lynching
Narrowly AYerted

Twin city residents who had not yet
retired for the night, on Tuesday, were
greatly surprised when SPECIAL train
over the Marshfeld & Northeastern R.
R., arrived at this station at 10 O'Clock
that evening, bearing deputy sheriff
Upham and three riminals-Patrick
Healy, Michael Cronin and Henry Key
and proceeded to tie sheriff house
and jail After their incarceration, the
deputy sheriff relcted to Sheriff Smith
the following story:
1t appears that the above-named pris-
oners and one other, whose name is not
known to the writer, tramps, had pur-
! chased a keg of beer from the brewery,
in the city of Marshfeld, and conveyed
it some distance from the brewery
where they tapped it and commenced
drinking of its contents. Their conduct
was such that it alarmed the neighbors,
and a message was sent out for the
chief Of police to cause their arrest. A..
F. Gerwing, on receipt of the message,
proceeded to the brewery. He ordered
the t1amps out of town, which they
were 10th to do. The police officer,
assisted by Joseph Zweck and Fred
Meyers, two employees in the brewery
who had followed the officer out to
learn what was the trouble, undertook
to arrest two desperate carousers who
refused to leave, two of the men going
away peaceably. In this attempt officer
Gerwing and Mr.. Meyer were horribly
slashed with a knife in the hands of
the tramp that escaped and has so far
eluded capture. Mr.. Gerwing was
stabbed in the stomach inficting a deep
wound and Meyer in the scramble got
a fourteen inch cut across the abdomen,
disemboweling him. Joseph Zweck
did plucky work in graphing the hobo
with the knife and finally took it from
him. But when Zweck saw the fate of
his companions he at once went to
their assistance and the tramps fled. A
posse of citizens gave chase and the
three men now lodged in jail in this
city were captured.
This affair caused great excitement in
the city which almosG resulted in the
hanging of the parties that are now
lodged in jail here. The fourth party,
who is reported to have done the cut
ting, escaped and is st.ll at large. If
found he will probably be lynched.
Sheriff Smith returned with his dep
uty to Marshfeld, where everything has
been done to locate the fugitive, with
every reason to believe that he will be
arrested. The militia was called upon
to protect and defend the prisoners,
and it was only by strenuous efforts on
the part of the deputy that they were
saved from lynching. Telegram from
Marshfeld announces the death of
Fred Meyers at s o'clock this Thursday
morning. Physicians attending Mr..
Gerwing entertain slight hopes of his
recovery. However, his many warm
friends here are in hopes that he will
recover from the effects Of the wound.
Hanging would be none too good for
the culprit who is still at large.
