see how the case of attempted robbery
against his friend John Banning, alias

Banning late Monday night was arrest

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
your water and let it stand twentyfour
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys;
if it stains your linen it is evidence of
kidney trouble; too frequent desire to
pass it or pain in the back is also con-
vincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. kflmer'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 passages. 1t
corrects inability to hold water and
scalding pains in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night. 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
medicine you should have the best. Sold
by druggists; price fifty cents and ona
dollar You may have a sample bottle
and pamphlet both sent free by mall
upon receipt of three two-cent stamps
to cover cost of postage on the bottle.

an ounce OF caraway seed, and one

one OF the greatest curfosities fn To-
pekR A q quilt made by Mrs. Cornelia
Blackman, OF Pittsburg. Mrs. Black
man is IA years old, and has spent ten
years OF her life working on the guilt.
The quilt is made OF bits OF ribbon,
each containing the autograph of
Rome etatemen or weil-known man or
woman. Mrs. Blackman sent the rib
bon to the celebrities herself, and she
collected 479 autographs In that man
ner.
Among the names on the quilt are
Roscoe Conkling, ex-President and Mrs.
r. b. Hayes, Benjamin Harrison,
Grover Cleveland, Kate Field, General
w. #. Sherman. Senator John Sher-
man, Lotta, Kate Douglas Wiggin. w.
q. Gresham and p. b. Plumb. To
every name attaches some interesting
history. For instance, Mrs. Blackman
sent a piece OF ribbon to Roscoe Conk-
ling for his signature. He blotted one
side, and, turning the ribbon : over,
wrote ON the other side. She returned
the disfigured ribbon to him and told
him that she was surprised that man
of his standing should treat an old wo-
man as he had done. This had its
effect, and the ribbon came back all
right, with a letter from Mr.. Conkling
apologizing for his carelessness.
Mrs. Blackrlan says that she has se-
cured signatures from but two people
who have not made themselves famous

HOW v A J ECLARED
PREROGATIVE INVESTED ONLY IN
CONGRESS.
History of the Previous Experiences
Has Had in Such Matters.

In Great Britain and most other
monarchcal governments the power
to declare war is the exclusive prcrog-
ative of the crown. But in this coun-
try, SAYS Leslic's Weekly. when it is
decided that we have a casuS belli on
our hands and that war must or ought
to be made. it is necessary to begin
proceedings i'm accordance with that
clause i'm the Federal Constitution
which stipulates that the sole power
to declare war rests i'm Congress. The
President may recommend il. or even
urge it. as he has done on two occa-
sions i'm our history, but Congress
must agree with him and pass the en-
abling act before a state of war can
exist. And in this necessary action
of the Federal Legislature lie unlim-
tied possibilities of unlimited Pfeffers
and Jones and other six day orators
putting off the opening of hostilities
for an indefinite period.
In the matter of war with other ma
tons we have only two presidents TO
90 upon. the war with England in
1912 and the war with Mexico i'm 1916.
and for certain reasons neither of the
two is very helpful for present guild
ance. Looking back upon it now, the
American people of today are unani-
nous in the conviction that the war
of 1912 was perfectly iustifiable. and
the only wonder is that the American
people of that day endured the studied
insults and outrageous conduct of the
English ON land and sea as long as
they did without striking back. But
