THE MAYOR EXPLAINS.
The issuance of a License for an Athletic Exhibition Tonight-Must Not
 Conflict with the Law.

Mayor Evans, in conversation with State Herald reporter last night, in ref erenee to the issuance of a license for an athletic exhibition to be given at the coliseum tonight, said that he had Nin- structed the official whose duty it was to issiie same to embody in the license a proviso that existing laws should not be violated. It is not my province, said Mayor Evans to aid anyone in violating the laws governing the city and State in the issuance of the license referred to and there was a positive understanding of1 that point
 The mayor said that he realized the fact that there were several kinds of athletic exhibitions, but he did not class prize fights among them, and knowing the law as to the latter, it would be fool ishnoss and time wasted on the part of anyone to appeal to him for a permit for a prize fight.

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY'S civil service
order is very generally commended by
the press and the leading minds of the
nation. 1t prohibits removal from
government positions without specified
cause and without giving the accused
an opportunity to make defense, a
principle which everybody must COM
mend as fair and just and one which
cannot but result in an improved con-
dition of the civil service Of the coun-
Try. re. be sure, it is not pleasing to
those spoilsmen who insisted that men
should be removed from office simply
Because they were of another party. no
matter how good their record had
been, but it is thoroughly in line with
the declarations Of the republican
party, which, in it's st. Louis platform
assumed responsibility for the civil
service law and renewed its declara
lions that cit should be thoroughly
and honestly enforced and extended
wherever practicable"

THE republican party goes straight
along redeeming It's pledges. 1t prom
ised at ST. Louis protective tariff and
has produced it. 1t promised an hon.
est effort for a bimetallic conference,
and has not only made the effort, but
the effort is likely to be crowned with
success. 1t promised currency with
every dollar as good as gold, and it's
secretary of the treasury is now shap-
ing up plan which will give uniform
and safe currency, and thus redeem
three of the important pledges of the
platform. Contrast this state of affairs
with the conditions four years ago,
when banks were failing and business
houses crashing in every direction,
with a democratic president sitting SUI
pinely in the White House and doing
nothing to improve conditions, but
planning destructive tariff and bond
issues, which only added to the debt of
the country.

% BRADSTREETs, " which is recog
nized as a most conservative publica
zion, summarizes the business situation:
q. That the crops are good.
-. That the price of wheat and
cotton has so greatly advanced as to
pour scores of millions of dollars into
the laps of the farmers, while the price
Of other staples has advanced in sym
pathy with these.
"3 That short crops in Europe,
India and Argentina assure a continu-
ance of these high prices during the
market season.
"A. That merchants everywhere
are replenishing their stocks of goods
as they have not done for several years
past.
"5. That in consequence railroad
earnings everywhere show improve
1ent.
"6. That there are already signs OF
revival in industry, the manufacturers
beginning to anticipate the new de-
mand for goods.
81. That our exports for the last
year have been so enormously in ex-
Sess Of our imports as to make us very
heavily creditor nation-a condition
bhat does not guarantee prosperity, but
eends strongly to help it.
u.s. That there is everywhere
among the farmers a feeling of hope
Bolness which has not existed for sew
eral years past"

SILvER's drop to the lowest price on
record was unpleasant, but not entirely
unexpected. The United States is the
largest silver producing country in the
world and is therefore interested in its
price to a greater extent than any
other country. Falling off in the de-
nsand from India and China is thought
30 have been the cause of the fall in
price. The american farmer will be
glad to note that wheat continues to
rise in price, showing that its price is
not in any sense controlled by the price
Of silver, as the Bryanites have con-
tinually asserted it was.

The Tea Given by the Old Maids League
for Miss Lou Balm
The tea given by the Old Maids
league at University hall in honor of
Miss Lou Balm Monday evening was a
great success.
The hall was beautifully decorated
with wild flowers and ferns, golden rod
predominating; and the different tables
we're decorated with bachelor buttons,
blue and yellow being the old maids
colors. The tea was under the man
agement Of John Kupfer, to whom
great credit is due.
Afterwards dancing was INDUCED in
till midnight. Those present were:

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY had modi-
fed President Cleveland's recent order
cutting down the fees of certain consuls
abroad, but has judiciously made his
modification apply only to those con-
su.s whose salary is $4,000 per annum
or less. The fact that this order ap-
plies only to the smaller consulates and
not those already receiving large sala-
ries will greatly distress the democrats
who had expected to make political
capital outtof the order, had it applied,
as they supposed it would, to the large
places as well as the small ones.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1897-08-12

REPORTS from every direction show
that the Mckinley law has not only
been greeted with general satisfaction,
but with general activity among the
manufacturers. Large numbers of es-
adjustments have reopened, and
thousands of men and women have
found employment since President Nc
Kinley attached his signature to the
DingleY bill.

REPORTS from the west show that
there is the greatest difficulty in OBJ
tanning sufficient freight cars to remove
the grain crops, which are not only
large, but bring good prices. This is
in marked contrast with the conditions
of the past two years, thousands upon
thousands of cars having been IDLE
since the summer of 1898. And yet
silver continues to go down.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy 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 rem
edY, fulflls every wish in relieving
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bIad-
der and every part of the urinary pas
sages. 1t corrects inability to hold
urine and scalding pain in passing it,
or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that un-
pleasant necessity of being compelled
to get up many times during the night
to urinate. The mild and the extraor-
binary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing
cases. If you need medicine you
should have the best. Sold by drug
gists, price fifty cents and one dollar.
You may have sample bottle and
pamphlet both sent free by mail. Men
ton observation-disclosures and send
your address to Dr.. Kilmer & Co.,

this paper guarantees the genuineness
