HOW TO FIND OUT,

Fill 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 fre-
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
80 often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain
in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passag-
es. 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 I'M
pleasant necessity Of being compelled
to get up many times during the night
to urinate. The mild and the extraor-
dinary effect Of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distress
ing cases. If you need medicine you
should have the best. Sold by drug
gists price fifty cents and one dollar
For sample bottle and pamphlet,
both sent free by mail, mention The

quite interesting. The first entry was
in 1863. when the trustees divided the
township into two company districts
and ordered the people to assemble
and choose officers. On May 31st, 1864
the trustees, Alex Twaddle, Elias

tax of 23OO dollars to pay a bounty OF
one hundred dollars to all who should

THE SMALLEST GUNNER.
He Fired 4 Big Gun and Disconnected =
British Colony.

Cape Town, South Africa. claims the
honor Of giving birth to the smallest
creature ever known to become a gun
ner in the Royal Artillery, or any other
artillery in the whole world. At the
Castle, Cape Town, there is a magnif-
cent gun worked by electricity, used
for giving the midday and evening time.
One fine day all the military and civil
ians in Cape Town were astonished to
near the gun go off at 1890 in the morn
ing, an our and a half before the
proper time, II being the usual hour for
firing. Messengers came from the gen.
eral commanding the station, the brig
adler major, commanding officers OF
each regiment and battery stationed in
Cape Town, and from everybody inter-
ested, but the answer was that no per-
son had been near the gun, nor had
anybody interfered with the wires, bat
terry or source from which it was fired.
All the officials were fearfully puzzled
at the extraordinary occurrence, but
could give no explanation whatever.
The general in command of the station
became furious and said that there was
mismanagement somewhere, and gave
orders for a strict search to be made by
the officials for the guilty party.
Search was made, but nothing re-
suited to throw any light on the extra
ordinary affair, although the greatest
possible pains We're taken to solve the
mystery. They had practically given
the search up, when suddenly the news
came from the officials stating that the
culprit had been caught and arrested.
It seems the electric current for firing
off the gun is supplied by he Royal
Observatory of Cape Town, and goes
there by means of an instrument known
graph office Of the station, the distance
being about 500 yards. The action Of
the current going through the instru-
ment's main I'VE q sort of light
tongue, which is very finely set, so fine
that the least little thing would affect
it. This forces the current directly into
what they term the time fuses, which
have the power Of firing the gun at the
Castle. On examining the instrument
one of the officials found a big brown
spider inside. 1t appears that While haV-
ing an exploring trip around the instru-
ment the unfortunate spider must have
touched this tongue sufficiently to move
it, and consequently it fired off the gun
The general commanding the station
sent the spider to the Cape Town Mu-
cum, where he is now to be seen with
a card underneath him emitting him
the Little Gunner and giving a full
account of his adventure with the Cape
Town midday time gun, which proved
his last adventure, however.

it was put was to burn 1t before a bee

PERSISTENT LYING.

The opponents of silver coinage
assure. the people that sllverites
are intent upon making silver the
single standard of value. When
challenged to make the charge
true by naming some of the men
who favor the adoption of the sill
e standard, they reply that the
restoration of silver to its old
place IN our monetary system
would have the effect of driving
gold out Of circulation and cause
it to migrate and leave us nothing
but a deprecated coin with which
to make exchanges; the parity Of
the two coins could not be main
tanned. We reply that for seven
ty-hve years and more the parity
was maintained.

There was no divergence in the
exchangable value of silver and
gold at the established rates until sill
yer was denied access to our mints.
There has been no such great
change in the relative production
Of the two metals to produce the
divergence now claimed as exist
ing. By d%epriving silver Of its
money function and requiring gold
to do the work hitherto performed
by silver would as a matter of
course increase the purchasing
power of the gold dollar and wild
en- the gulf which vicious legls-
lation has produced.
Silver has deprecated by reason
of it's exclusion from minis, and
gold has appreciated by the reduc-
ton of the volume of legal tender
coin. By restoring former con-
ditions the parity would be re-
stored. The price of real estate,
the products of farm, mine and
factory, the wages of skilled and
unskilled labor, would be re-estab-
lished, and better still, those in
debt might hope for deliverence
from its bondage.
When by the assertion of the
truth the gold monometallists are
driven from the field, as a last re-
sort they plead the ''baby act' by
asserting that the United States
can not establish and maintain it's
OWN monetary system, but must
first get the consent and co-opera-
ton of other commercial nations.
This plea is cowardly, un-Ameri-
can, unpatriotic and humiliating.
All the political platforms which
have ever been constructed by any
political party in this country can
not compare with the one adopted
at the last Republican National
Convention at St. Louis for nation
al humiliation and debasement.
1t declares in favor Of bimetal-
ism as the true system Of finance
for this country and then pledges
the party to maintain the single
gold standard until other CONNER
c1al nations Will permit the United
States to coin gold and silver.
This was not dome to ccnciliate the
favor of other Governments, but to
keep Silver Republicans from de-
sorting their party.
The leaders knew full we'll that
an international conference would
never consent to- the enfnanchlse-
ment of silver, hence them readI-
ness to plead the baby act.
We notice" with sorrow that the
