HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty four
hours; sediment or settling indicates
diseased 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 DIR. Kilmers
Swamp Root, the great kianey remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain
in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passa ges.
1t corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effect following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to uri-
nate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp Root is soon realized.
1t stands the highest for its wonder

AN ANS WER FILED

In the Case of the New York and Cleveland
Gas Coal Company Against the United
Mine Workers.
Pittsburg, Pa, August 30.-Attorney
W. j. Bremen, representing the Uni
ted Mine Workers of America, filed
answers to-day in the matter of the in
junction proceedings of the New York
and Cleveland Gas Coal Company
and Rufus c. Crawford to restrain
Patrick Dolan, VIM. Warner and other
members of the association from inter-
fering with their respective mines and
the men working there.
In answer the defendants deny. that
1000 workmen alleged to be employed
at the mines, have entered into written
contracts; that the sail contracts are
against public policy and are void;
also, that the first and second para
graphs of the contracts are intended 10
make the plaintiffs employees depend
ent and subservient by depriving them
the rights of association, and that the
forfeiture clause is void, as al the
obligations are TO be performed by the
employees, while all the rights are vest
ed in the plaintiff.
Declarations that threats for the
purpose of intimidation were made are
denied, but it is asserted that the
marching and camping has been peace
able and orderly and is to show the
plaintiff and such of the employees that
may be at work if any, at mining, that
the miners and others of Western
Pennsylvania and elsewhere are inter-
ested lin securing a uniform rate of
mining, honest weight and tolerahle
conditions, and to prove sincerity,
earnestness and honesty Of their con-
Germ for the future welfare of the hum
dreds Of thousands of miners and their
families. In both cases it is asked
that the injunctions be dissolved and
that the costs be put upon the plaintiff. |

considered. These men. he says. will
not come here TO destroy property, or
TO take part in riot or insurrection,

HANNA,S CAMPAIGN

If Hanna should succeed in dragoon-
ing John Sherman, the aged and in
firm and mentally irresponsible Secre-
tary of State, into the Ohio campaign
it will be an added touch to the bru-
tally and utter Selfshness that have
characterized Hanna's political career
from the beginning. Hanna had at
first actually arranged that the Pres
ident of the United States should take
the stump for him, but the protest
to this proceeding was so vigorous and
loud from all parts of the country
where there still abides respect for the
dignity and might of the office which
the people have temporarily filled with
Hanna's selection that he had to call
this off in order to save his own NUT
ton.
Nearly as much respect is felt by
the people for the Office Of Secretary
of State as for that Of President, but
if its occupant sees fit TO prostitute it
to the uses Of Hanna, Americans will
not see in the act the same affront to
their intelligence and dignity as If
the President should step down from
his high pedestal into the muck and
mire of Ohio politics.
Hanna has a double purpose in
/ further sacrificing Sherman. The first
and most despicable one is to show to
the people of Ohio that their once
great leader on longer enjoys the men
tai vigor that made him forceful in
American affairs for nearly a half CEN
fury of uninterrupted public service.
In doing this Hanna hopes to show
justification for shouldering Sherman
out Of the Senate so that he could dis
play his own fitness for a Senatorial
/ career. The voters Of Ohio, however
! have a higher order of intelligence
than Hanna imputes TO them and II
will be strange indeed, if they do not
/ strongly resent this gross insult to
themselves and the monstruos injury
to Sherman and that aged and dis
tinguished stateman's standing in his
tory. If Hanna thinks by such
method to corral Sherman's following
which is his other purpose, he again
imputes his own low order of intel
/ Iieence to those who have stood by
John sherman through good and evi
report. This faithful following of Mr.
sherman have made possible his victo
ries in the past against all sorts o.
cabals and combinations because 1t wa!
composed of men who loved Sherman
and these will never support a maj
like Hanna. aside from every othel
consideration. In fact, the following
of sherman. whom Hanna has s.
cruelty outraged and sacrificed Il
his own selfish ambition, like TN
Foraker following, will play an i'm
portant part in defeating Hanna, VIII

ulator the country has known since tn

A peculiar proposition was made to
the G. A. R. at Buffalo, namely, to
raise the wreck of the famous mont
tor off Hampton roads. The govern
ment was not asked to stand the ex-
pense, estimated at 100000; the vete-
rams were to raise the sum by sub
scriptions among themselves. This is
a pretty large amount to be raised by
men who are not supposed to have
much money to spend for such pur-
poses. After the wreck is raised it
will cost another half million to re-
habilitate it and a yearly sum will be
necessary to keep it in condition. 1t
is an undertaking which the veterans
will hardly find themselves equal to.
