It: is Easy to Tell

People who fail to look after their
health are like the carpenter who neg
lects to sharpen his tools. People are
not apt to get anxious about their
health soon enough. If you are mot
quite well' or 'half sick'' have you
ever thought that your kidneys may
be the cause of your sickness?
1t is easy to tell by setting aside
your urine or twenty-four hours; a
sediment or settling indicates an un>
healthy condition Of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent de-
sire to urinate, scanty supply, pain
or dull ache in the back is also con-
vincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.
There is satisfaction in knowing
that the great remedy DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, fulfills every wish in re-
lieving weak or diseased kidneys and
all forms of bladder and urinary trou-
bles. Not only does Swamp-Root give
new life and activity to the kidneys
the cause of trouble, but by treating
the ,1idneys it acts as tonic for the
entire constitution. If you need a
medicine take SwampRoot-it cures.
Sold by druggists, price fifty cents
and one dollar, or by sending your adj
dress and the name of this paper to
Dr.. Kilmer & Co. Binghamton, n. Y,
yau may have a sample bottle of this
great discovery sent to you free by
mail.

governor. I'll leave by the first train
1 don't suppose you'll try to escape?"
''I'll be here when you want me-"
So Bowen went back to help the day
operator, and the sheriff left by the
first train for the capital.
Now strange thing happened For
the first time within human recOllec-
ton, the newspapers were unanimous
in commencing the conduct of the
head of the state, the organs Of the
governors own party lavishly praising
him, the opposition sheets grudgingly
admitted that he had more backbone
than they had given him credit for.
Public opinion, like the cat of the ST.
mile, had jumped and that unmistak~
ably.
''In the name of all that's wonder
full, sheriff. said the bewildered gov
ernor, "who signed all those petit
tons? If the papers wanted the man
hanged, why in the fiend's name did
they not say so before and save me
all this worry. Now, how many know
of this suppressed despatch?"
"Well, there's you and your SUBJ
ordinates here and"
"We'll say nothing about it,"
And then there is me and Bowen
in Brentingville. That's ALL
''Well, Bowen will keep quiet for his
own sake, and you won't mention it?"
"Certainly not
"Then let's all keep quiet. The
things safe if some Of those newspa-
per fellows don't get after it. It's not
on record in the books, and I'll burn
all the documents
And thus it was. Public opinion
was once more indicated. The gov
ernor was triumphantly reelected as
a man with some stamina about him.

the Jail door Bowen met the sheriff,
who was looking CHASTITY and sallow
in the fresh morning light.
II have come to give myself up"
said Bowen before the official could
greet him.
"To give yourself up? What for?"
"For murder, suppose"
''This is no time for joking, young
man." said the sheriff, severely.
do I look like a humorist? Read
that"
First incredulity, then horror, over
spread the haggard face of the sheriff,
as he read and re-read the dispatch.
He staggered back against the wall,
putting up his arm to keep himself
from falling.
Bowen" he gasped. EDO you-do
you mean TOTO tell me-that this
message came for me last night?"
II do, and I sent you false one"
"And I have hanged a reprieved
man.?
"You have hanged a murderer
yes"
"My God! My God!" cried the sher-
iff
He turned his face on his arm
aginst the wall and wept. His nerves
were gone. He had been up all night
and had never hanged a man before.
Bowen stood there until the spasm
was over. The sheriff turned indig-
nantly to him, trying to hide the feel
ing of shame he felt at giving away,
in anger at the witness of it.
"And you come to me, you villain,
because I said I would help you if you
ever got in tight placer"
Oh your tight place!' cried the
young man. 81 come to you to give
myself up. I stand by what I do. 7
don't squeal. There will be no petit
tons got up for me. What are you
going to do with me?''
81 don't know, Bowen; I don't
know" faltered the official, on the
point of breaking down. He did not
wish to have to hang another man and
friend at that. ''I'll have to see the

BUREAU CHIEFS SELECTED
Presidential Appointments of Great Interest
to the Navy.
Naval Constructor HichbOrn Reap
Succeeds Commander Chadwick.

The President made two appointments to-
Cay of great interest to the navy. Naval
Constructor Philip Hichborn was appointed
chief of the bureau of construction and re-
pair, to SUCCEED himself, and Commander
r. B. Bradford was appointed chief Of the
| bureau of equipment. vice Commander F.
E. Chadwick relieved.
ChiefioConstructor Philip Hichborn has
devoted his hfe to the work of naval con-
struction. Starting at an early age in the
business of d shipwright, as an apprentice
in the Charlestown navy yard. and serving
such,untr he arrived at the age Of man
hood. he took voyage by sea by way of
Cape Horn to California.
On his 3lBivaI there he took up his pro-
fession, and in two years rose to be mas
ter mechanic of his trade. After serving
as SUCH his ability was acknowledged by an
offer of the position of assistant naval
constructor which he declined. Seven
years later. however. he was again offered
the position, which he accepted, and has
since advanced rapidly to the present high
position he now occupies. Since his first
appoint ment as chief constructor of the
navy, the added responsibilities due to the
reorganization of the several duties of the
various bureaus of the Navy Department
increased his duties correSpondingly, and
the faithfulness with which he has per-
formed the great responsibilities has been
rewarded by his reappointment to the office
Tor the second term.
His reappointment gives general satisfac
ton to the other officials of the Navy De-
partment, who regard it not only u
tribute to his AGILITY, but see in it another
evidence of Secretary Longs close observ-
ance of the affairs of his department.
Commander Bradford; the chief of
the bureau Of equipment, - regarded as
one of the brightest and most progressive
officers in the service. He is a native of
Maine, and entered the navy in 1861. He
| reached his present grade in March, 1889.
He recently detached from command
of the cruiser Montgomery, and has since
been on special duty.
Commander Chadwick will be given
short leave of absence, and will then be as
signed to the command of a vessel of the
cruiser class.
So far as known. nothing is settled with
regard to the of the chief of the
bureau of medicine and surgery, but the
belief is strong and general in naval circles
| that Medical Director N. L. Bates, in
charge of the naval museum of hygiene in
| this city, will be appointed to succeed Sur
geon General Tryon, whose term expired
| today. Medical Director Bates is the seq
| end ranking officer III the corps, and has
| been acting as the Presidents family ply
sician for several years. Surgeon General
| Tryon will retire for age in about two
years. and his failure to be reappointed
will mean loss in rank and pay as. a re-
| tired officer.

AS he reached the clump of trees where
the body was found he saw a man rise
from the ground ard look fercely at him.
The man was dressed in a pair of trousers
and an undershirt and answered the de-
scription given by Mr.. Knowlton and DR..
Baldwin. While Duvail was watching the
man, woman, dressed in shirt waist of
dark material, with wide sleeves and a
dark shirt, started to rise from the ground,
but was roughly showed down by the man.
Mr. Duvail said that he heard the man

One of the employees at the railroad sta

afternoon that about the LIST of August q
man who seemed to be laboring under
great excitement alighted from a Baltimore
train at Laurel. He was accompanied by a
young woman.
The man answered the description of the
one who was seen in the woods. He made
inquiries for The court house, and seemed
very much disappointed when told that the
county seat was at Marlboro. He was

far as this employee could trust to his men,

the London market resulted in AN unusual
~ strong opening this morning BY com

Is estimated to have sold in all something
over 10000 shares of long stock.
The market reacted fracIionally- under

down was exception ally fine in character
as net results indicate. In many Instances
the highest prices of the day We're recorded
after the elimination of this selling move

Foreign houses bought moderate amounts
of St Paul Reading and Southern prefer

was equally good. with the possible excep-
ton of the latter.
The granger issues were given good sup-
port around the highest points Vet record
ed for them.
The feature OF the days transactions
fowever. was the resumption of the al
vance in the Northern Pacific issues The
preferred stock of this company was mark
ed up nearly per cent from las: weeks

they should be 1t the moment but future
figures are relied upon To show marked
Improvement.
The coming decision on the Canadian
railroad differential is depended upon TO
add impetus to the forward movement In
these sharss. Ii may be well in this con-
nection to note that the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company and the various lines under
the same M nasement are equally inter

neglect In the stock market.
Reading issues were all in better demand
because of the eriainty OF increased earn
ings and the prospect for an early settle
ment of all mining differences in the sof.

The ambition Of the leading interests is
now thought to embrace the future con-
troll of both the hard and soft coal m
dustr,s.
An additional advance Of - cents par
ton in iron announced al the offices
of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company.
This advance makes the total within A Tow
days 80 cents, and indicates growing de-

In view Of this showing the stock is at
tracing the attention OF influential mar
ket interests, and much higher prices are
predicted for ii alter in the year
The Industrial shares of the dividend

as In the case of Sugar higher prices were
frequently recorded.
All things considered, the market has
had another day of testing. Had the basis
for the recent Improvement lacked lasting
quality, today's sales would have forced
concessions in all departments.
