FURNITURE COMBINE.
Trust Began Last Winter May Be
come a Reality Very Soon.

Grand Rapids, Mich, April 20.-Nego-
tiatiOns that were begun during the
January furniture season in this city,
with a view of forming a trust or COM
bination by the manufacturers of
chamber suits and case goods, promises
success in the near future.
Meetings, attended by representatives
of Cincinnati, Chicago, Holland and
other cities, have been held here dur
ing the last week and arrangements for
Incorporating the American Furniture
company under the laws Of New Jer-
sey are nearly completed.
1t is stated that over so per cent of
the chamber suit manufacturers of the
country, controlling nine-tenths of the
output of case goods, have agreed to
put their plants into the combine on a
plan similar to that of the late nail
trust.
There is some earnest opposition to
the move here, because it is thought it
would endanger this city's prestige as
a furniture center, but the four princi-
pal companies that make case goods
have agreed to go into the combination.

There comes time to both men and
bring anxiety and trouble hard to bear;
disappointment seems to follow every
effort in our behalf; we get discouraged
and skepticaI. In most cases serious
mistakes are made in our treatment,
and in not knowing what the disease is

If a peculiar pain attacks you, try to
gan of the body is sick and in need of
attention.
If the kidneys are at falkland in
almost every case in the failing of our
health they are-look well to their re-
storation to health and strength.
They are the great filters of our body.
and consequently, the purity of the
blood is entirely dependent on their
cleansing powers.
If the kidneys are not in a perfectly
clean and healthy condition, the blood
becomes impregnated with impurities
and a decay of the kidneys soon takes
place. If your desire to relieve yourself
of water increases, and you find it nee
eSsary to arise many times during
sleeping hours, your kidneys are sick
AS they reach a more unhealthful stage
the water flows, and pain or dull ache
in the back makes you miserable. If
the water, when allowed to remain I'M

grasp of most serious kidney or bladder
disorder.

FIGHT OUT A FEUD.
Rival Kentucky Families Declare War
Eleven Are Dead.

| Pfneville, KY, April 2O.-As a partial
| result OF one of the most deadly feuds
that has even existed in this end of
the state, eleven men have been killed
| ana nearly as many more more or less
| wounded. The officers of the law, de-
morallzed and knowing that to make an
| arrest means that their entire families
| VIII be drawn into the conflict, are pow
| erless to preserve order. Arrayed
| against each other are two families in
| Clay county, who now go about the
| country armed with WincheSters, the
one seeking to kill the other. Owing to
| the isolated part of the county facts
! and particulars are hard to learn. but
the Following, learned today from res
1oent of that county, is authentic:
Ballard Howard, aged Sc, owns 300
| acres of timber land adjoining George
Baker, who owns about the same
amount. Three weeks ago Baker cut
SOO Iogs,and Howard claimed he crossed
the boundary and cut them off his
land This occasioned a fight, in which
Alex. Baker, a son of George Baker,
was killed. The latter family to avenge
his death, swore to exterminate the
Howard family.
officers of the law were given to I'M
derstand from both sides that they
would brook no interference. One of the
belligerentS expressed it:
lou must leave us alone, we want
to tight 1T out among ourselves
Last Monday Ballard Howard and
three sons, who had been to Manchester
to procure arms and ammunition, were
old Baker and three of his sons. Ballard
Howard was shot through the shoulder.
Jim Howard his son, and Joe Anderson,
hired man, were killed by the first
volley from the Bakers. When the
Bakers came from behind the bushes to
complete their work they were fired
upon by the two uninjured HowardS
and James Baker killed. Old man Baker
then escaped.
Last Wednesday morning George
Baker, leader on his side. while riding
along the road, was met by Jim How
ard. Both commenced shooting. Baker
was killed while Howard escaped I'M
hurt. Knowing that some of the Bak-
erS would likely come to hunt for the
old man, Howard secured three other
body of Baker. Concealing themselves,
they waited developments. In an hour
a party of five Bakers arrived.
Waiting until they had dismounted,
