HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand "a hours; sedi-
ment or settling indicates an unhealthy
condition of the kidneys. When urine
stains linen it is evidence of kidney
trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate
or pain in the back is also convincing
proof that the kidneys and bladder are
out of order.

School Board Meeting.

The school board held a
special meeting in the rooms Of
the National Bank Wednesday
afternoon. The school committee
appointed at the last meeting of
the city council met with the
board and discussed the improve
ments in the school buildings
that the council has been asked
to have made. These consist of
an addition to the Watrousville
school building of a room 24x6O
feet, and the erection of a school
building in the First Ward, the
specifications calling for three
rooms of equal size 24x30 feet in
dimensions.
The large increase in the
scholastic population of the city
as shown by the school census
makes an increase in educational
facilities absolutely imperative.
Especially is this the case with
the colored school, some of the
rooms of which are at present
crowded beyond the limit of COM
fort and convenience. The
school board is doing all in their
power to secure the necessary
Improvements and it behooves
the council not to turn a deaf ear
to their requests.
Mr.. H. G. Won Struwe, of Cald-
well, was elected German teacher.
Mr.. Won Struwe is well known
here, having been a member of
the Brennan bar previous to his
removal to Caldwell a few months
ago. His recommendations as
an instructor are the very best.

FROM the far away Empire
State comes a bit of information
the perusal of which will afford
the Brennan friends of the young
lady a great deal of pleasure.
The Port Jervis Union in report
ing a "Daisy Meeting" of the
Epworth League says among
other things: ga vocal trio by
DR.. and Mrs. George Hammond
and Miss Julia Lockett, of Bren-
ham, Texas, was delightful bit
of harmony that fairly enrap-
tured the audience" Miss Lock-
EFT, who, by the way, is a guest
at DR.. Hammond's, is a musician
of unusual gifts and a composer
of both vocal and instrumental
music"

Redeeming Money.

The efforts of a man at the
sub treasury to secure the re-
demption of bill which had al
most all been destroyed prompted
Assistant Treasurer Marlor to
make the following interesting
remark: F'We have applications
to redeem mutilated bills about
every day. The system is sim
pie. If person presents three
fifths of a bill it is redeemed in
full. If half of bill, one-half
of the full value is given; but if
only small part of the bill is
presented, proof must be given
that the remainder has absolute
ly been destroyed before it will
be redeemed. l have seen pieces
of bills saved from fire scarcely
larger than a mans thumb re-
deemed at full value. l have
known bills to be redeemed
which have been chewed up and
swallowed by animals. One case
| know of where a man died from
swallowing paper money. He
was cut open and the money re-
deemed. New York Special.

search for the missing transpor-
tation, which up to this time has
not been found.

Who Wants This.

One hundred bushels of corn
to the acre is very large crop
even for Washington county's
most fertile and prolific acres,
Mr.. John Jackson of Chappell
Hill offers to wager a dollar a
bushel that part of his corn crop
will yield that amount. He will
wager $500 that from a ten acre
patch he will harvest six hundred
bushels. There are no strings to
these bets and the contests open
to the State at large.

Mr.. P. H. Barnhill generously
supplied from his patch, three
miles east of the city. A vote of
thanks has been rendered Mr..
Barnhill expressive of the hope
that the horn of plenty and the
cornucopia of profusion may al

him. No richer gift has summer
poured from out her lavish horn,
in our direction, than these

THE practice so common in
Texas of securing marriage
license in one county and fulfill
ing them in another, one of these
days will make a whole lot of
people wish they had secured the
license in the county in which
they married. The wording of a
marriage license itself casts a
doubt on its utility in any other
county than that in which it is
issued. Licenses have the pre-
amble, estate of Texas, county
of Blank: To any ordained
minister of the gospel, Jewish
rabbi, judge of the district or
county court or justice of the
peace in and for said county,
greeting, etc., etc." No case has
ever been before the supreme
court to test the validity of mar
riages performed not in accord
ance with the above, and until a
precedent is set marriages per-
formed in counties other than
those in which the license is Sc
cured will continue to be con-
tracted and hold valid to all in
tents and purposes.-Beeville
