HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass
with urine and let it stand twenty
four hours; sediment or settling
indicates an unhealthy condition OF
the kidneys. When urine stains
linen it is positive evidence of kid
ney trouble. Too 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 DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney rem
edy, ful6lls every wish in relieving
pain in the back, kidneys, liver,
bladder and every part of the urin-
airy passages. 1t corrects inability
to hold urine and scalding pain in
passing it, or bad effects following
use of liquor, wine or beer, and over.
comes that unpleasant necessity OF
being compelled to get up many
times during the night to urinate.
The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp Root is soon real
lied. 1t stands the higher for its
wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need medi'
cine you should have the best. Sold
by druggists, price fifty cents and
one dollar. You may have sam
pie bottle and pamphlet sent free

AN AGED LADY HURT

The Result or Careless DriviHg-T The
City Ordinance is Being Disregarded
Every Day.
From Saturdays Daily.
Mrs. Mary Ellen Thistle. an aged
lady who resides on Water street,
was run down by a team. while at
tempting to cross Diamond street,
opposite DR.. H. G. Meek Office.
The pole of the buggy struck her
in the back, knocking her down,
after which one of the..horsesi feet
struck her forehead, making an
ugly bruise. She was carried to the
home of her niece, Mrs. Crane,
where she is now receiving medical
attention. It is not now known how
serious her injuries are. She is rest
ing easy, and has regained con-
seriousness.
The town authorities enact law
after law, ordinance after ordinance,
and pay policemen to see that they
are enforced, but they are disregard
ed every day under the nose of the
officials. Fast driving and riding
is against the laws of the town, aud
as narrow as the streets are in this
city it should be prohibited.
The accident this afternoon was
uucalled for and may yet result in
the death of Mrs. Thistle. Such
carelesSness should not be tolerated
and whoever did it should be pun
ished severely.

4 Sad Death.

Yesterday afternoon Lillian, the
three year old daughter of MIR. and
Mrs. Bert Walton who reside on
Water street passed away after
much suffering. The cause of the
sad demise of the cherished one is
attributed to pneumonia.
The faneral occurred this after
noon at 2 O'Clock, and was con
Quoted by Rev. J. L. Presser of the
Baptist church.
The remains were laid to rest in
the Oakwood cemetery.
The many friends OF the sad par
ents extend their sympathies.

VIII Sell the Furniture.

Elk Postmaster Mccoy will at.
tempt to dispose of his postoffice
fixtures and furniture to the newly
appointed postmaster of New Mar
tinsville. The furniture used by
Mr.. Mccoy is il a very good state
of preservation, and in case the
New Martinsyille postoffice needs
it we know of no better bargain.

Attorney G. M. Mccoy, together

the truth and that Miss Zenith did as

tective handed to Captain Zenith a
paper containing the adjutant's ad-
vertisement and continued:
"Now, having started the lieutenant
IN a wild goose chase Mollie started
you after him, knowing that her siste

him she had, and that she had no

well, what is your idea?'
"You must pardon my questions,
hoy seem harsh; we must conside:
every possible explanation or we are
likely to work in the dark and more
han likely, almost certain, to go
wrong. Had Miss Stella, possibly,
my reason to desire concealment?
IS it possible that she may have had
any shame to hide?'
Good heavens, man! No!
Great God! No! No."
"Let that be concluded. 1t is, then,

LET us hasten back. We will fol-
low this gentleman's suggestions,
,aid the adjutant, and if we do not
succeed at once we will telegraph for

ground"
