ONE OF TWO WAYS.


 The bladder was created for one pur- pose. namely, a receptacle for the urine, and as such it is not liable to a.nyform of disease except by one or two ways. The first way is from imperfect action of the kidneys. The second way Is from care less local treatment of other diseases.
 CHIEF CAUSE.
 Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid- neys is the chief cause of bladder troub- les and suffering so painful to many that life is made miserable. The womb like the bladder was created for one purpose, and if left alone 1t is not liable to become diseased, except in rare eases. When in position the womb Is situated back of and very close to the bladder. and for that reason any distress, disease or lnconven- fence manifested in the kidneys. back, bladder or urinary passage Is often by mistake, attributed to female weakness or womb trouble of some sort The error is easily made and may be as easily avoided by paying little attention to the condition of the urine (see panph- leD.

as the county may provide and in the

field, who later transferred them To
George Hoxie, Goldbergs partner, who
In turn consigned them to Mrs. Jenain
Goldberg, wife of b. +. Goldberg, who
II is alleged, did all OF the business am

Mr.. Goldberg's testimony went t

opinion there was not enough eyidenc
TO maintain case in court although
was possible Hirschfeld might have SC

Said That King of Utah Was Inter
ested in Gilsonite Lands.

Washington, May 10. Congressman
Cooper of Wisconsin made a charge
on the floor of the house against Mr..
King of Utah, that caused something
OF furry. The charge was promptly
denied. The matter went no further,
though Mr.. Cooper seemed to be sat
lsfled that he had furnished abundant
evidence to sustain his statements. Mr..
Kings defense of himself and of his
friends closed the controversy.
Mr.. Cooper declared that Mr.. Kings
interest in gilsonite beds of Utah
was easily explained when it was
known that his partner, ex-senator
Brown, of Utah, was Interested in the
lands.
Il deny that" replied Mr.. King.
Thereupon Mr. Cooper read from the
official report of the army officer who
was in charge of the reservation as In
dian agent, the statement that Thomas
Lloyd, the state mining inspector, had
located on the lands on March 4 last
as agent for Gov. Wells, Secretary of
State Hammond and Senator Brown.
In response Mr.. King defended these
officials, declaring them all to be poor
men and honest.
