HOW TO FIND OUT.


Fill bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indi-
Gates a diseased condition Of the kid
news. When urine stains linen it is
positive evidence of kidney trouble.
FOO frequent 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. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney
remedy. fulfills every wish in reliev-
ing pain in the back, kidneys, liver,
bladder and every part of the urinary
passages. 1t corrects inability to
hold urine and scalding pain in pass
ing it, or bad effect following use of
liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes
that unpleasant necessity OF being
compelled to get up many times dur
ing the night to urinate. The mild
and the extraordinary effect OF
Swamp Root is soon realized. 1t
stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
If you need a medicine you should
have the best. Sold by druggists
price fifty cents and one dollar. For
sample bottle and pamphlet, both
sent free by mail, mention The
NORTHWEST and send your full post

of this paper guarantee the genuine
ness of the offer.

Trying Experience of Squad Of
Health Inspectors.


Health Inspectors.
p The inspectors of the Board of Health
have invaded the domain of the Alameda
County dairyman, but will probably be
compelled to retreat without ccomplish-
ing as much as they expected TO. 1t is
not threats of the law that daunt them
however, but the swarms of mosquitoes
that attack them every time they venture
out of doors and the difficulty OF breath
ing the odors of the beet pulp on which
the bovines are fed.
Dutton & Wright, the Alvarado dairy
men, made no. objection when the San
Francisco in spectors called and announced
their intention OF testing the $50 cows of
the establishment, for they desired to
know themselves whether their cattle
were afflicted with the dread tuberculosis,
but the pests of the marsh were not so
kind, and before The in> pectors had been
at work ten minutes they ssw that they
had something worse than IN functions to
night. Mosquitoes came in squads and
patoons and settled on every inch of ex.
posed flesh that thev could see.
They bored and bit until the inspectors
were we'll nigh frantic, and they finally
went indoors and held consultation, de-
Gliding to finish that herd, If possible, and
then quit.
F. Ben Davis came over yesterday with his
head badly swelled from the effects of the
bites, and said that all who were left be-
hind we're suffering intensely from the
pests.
Chief Food inspector Dockery went
over last evening to take charge, and car
ried a quantity of lotion guaranteed tc
kill mosquitoes on sight.

ment of even the sporting element. who

that the people here desire, but instead ]
one thers are several matches announced
by The Empire and Colum bian clubs.

nit the slogs but it can he safely said
that the end OF bum prize-tghting is not
far off = =:
The exodus of prize-fghters from Aus
tralia and England to this City Will
quickly end when the wires will convey
the news that the City Fathers have put
stop to the game, which is being played
teo extensively. :r
One Supervisor said yesterday that the
board would not object to an occasional
mill, provided the contests were properly
managed, but it would not, nor could not,
countenance fight every week in the
year. There have been too many clubs
organized of late and the new ones are
running the sport into the earth. Within
the last week one of the new clubs an
nounced that it had matched Griffin am
Smith, Choynski and Jeffries ana Solly
Smith and Dixon. AS there are five clubs
in existence it will be seen that if all of
them are granted permits the City Will
have, on an average, fifteen fights a
month. 1t is doubtful If Dawson City
would stand such strong game as this.

John Harris, a Negro, Sues
Adolph Sutro for
Damages.
Refused Admission to the Bath
inc Pools at the Cliff
House,
Complains That He Was Excluded
Solely on Account of His
Descent and Color.

John Harris, colored man, has sued
Adolph Sutro for $40, 900 damages for be-.
ing refused the privileges accorded to
other visitors to the Sulro Baths at tile
Cliff House. -
Mr.. Harris AYERS that on the 4th of July,
1897, at time when he was sober, orderly
and well-beEaved, and ready and willins to
comply with any and all lawful and rea-
soma BILE rules of said Dathhouse, be pre-
sented himself at the usual place of en-
trance and purchased from the EN- ploye
in charge OF the place a ticket and paid
the price required, to wit, 25 CENTS which
said ticket consisted of three parts-oae
purporting to entitle the holder 10 ad-
mission to Sutro Baths, the second enti
thing the holder to one bathing suit for
bathing purposes. and the third emitting
the holder to admission to the dressing
room or bathhouse tor the purpose of
changing his clothing.
On receiving the ticket Mr.. Harris pre-
sented the same at the proper place, and
as he says, in sober, orderly, polite and
well-behaved manner demanded the use
of q bathing suit and a dressing-room, In
tending to avail himself of the opportuni-
ties of the bathing pools generally offered
to patrons of the place, "but the defend
AMI seeing and knowing that the plaintiff
was a man of African descent. known as a
negro and colored man. refused him the
privileges for which he had paid. This
refusal he AYERS was on account of his
race and color, and for no other reason
whatever, and plaintiff was then and there
for said reason denied full and equal ac-
com m od alions. advantages, facilities and
privilege. OF said bathing house and said
pace of amusement.
When the refusal stated above to ok
place, Mr.. Harris says he was i'll COM
panv with several white, or Caucasian
friends, and his sensiDilities and feelings
were injured by the acts OF the defendant
in holding him p in the presence of his
friends as of an inferior and degraded
race.
On the 11th OF July Mr.. Harris made
another effort to joy the bathing faciIi-
ties offered by Mr.. Sutro, bu; he was
again similarly rebuffed. He assesses his
damages at $4,000 for each re fusal, and
consequently demands that Mr.. sutro pay
him $40, 900.
