HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four hours;
a sediment or settling indicates an UNI
healthy condition of the kidneys. When
urine stains linen it is positive evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.

HENRY GEORGE, the noted author
and lecturer, whose single tax theory
created so much discussion some years
ago, died suddenly of apoplexy in New
York last Friday. He was a candi-
date for mayor of New York and had
very large following. The strain OF
the campaign was too great, and his
life paid the forfeit of his devotion to
the cause he espoused. Henry George
was an unse6sh, honest, thoughtful
man. He lived for his fellowmen, and
his life was devoted to efforts for the
bettermsnt of the people. He was
good man in every respect, and his
death has caused more real regret than
that of any man in recent years. His
burial last Sunday was the occasion Of
an immense outpouring of the people,
and was one of the greatest funerals
ever known in this country.

the result of the elections this week
would be interesting and instructive,
because the voting would not be as
greatly influenced by coercion and
misrepresentation as in presidential
year. We think the result shows that
the Democratic party is still very
popular organization, and the defeat
of last year can very readily be turned
into splendid victory next year.

Yes, she certainly was fond of

thanked him so earnestly as to make
him uncomfortable, but at the bot
tom of HIS trunk the precious book
reposed During his homewar7d voyage

what the binding must be to require

MO wonderfully bound copy of Dick
ems or Tennyson met their eyes, but
plain, thin, insignificant book
which said upon it's first page that
the sum of twenty Thousand dollars
was ait the credit of Mrs. Harry Ross
at a certain English bank. There
was a delightful little letter within
from Bessie, in which Harry was re-
quested not to exercise any Don
QuiNote ideas and forbid his wife to
take the money.
''F1or if she does not draw it, it will
never be drawn by anybody" added
Bessie, ''and I know you are too SEN
sible and patriotic to wish to enrich
the English government to that ex-
tent. Besides, dear cousin, remem-
ber that the same law over which

ago resulted in sending your fore

were considered, butt the five thou

had tried to induce Mrs. Barnes to

This is exactly what he himself

he continued to expostulate till the
sparkle in the young mans eye warm

''Ill tell you what, doctor, just you
