YANKEE COALED TOO FAST.
Naval Reserves Anxiety Causes Diff
fculty at New York.

New York, May 1.-THE anxiety of the
naval reserves on the auxiliary cruiser
Yankee to beat the record for fast coal
ing made by the crew of the monitor Ma
hant is responsible for the delay of the
vessel at the navy yard. In their haste
to take in the big supply of fuel the doors
of the water tight compartments were al
lowed to remain open.
The fact was not discovered until nearly
100 tons of coal had been taken on board.
1t was necessary to unload the coal in or
der to close the doors. This unlocked for
delay will prevent the sailing of the Yam
kee.

what causes kidney troubles?

What causes kidney troubles?
The kidneys are the most delicate ex-
cretory organs of the body. and are so
refined in their structure that any I'M
usual strain on any other part of the
body, is apt to produce in them serious
troubles, which, if not attended to at
once lead to grave complications.
Eating too much, drinking to excess,
Irregular habits, heavy lifting, exposure
to bad weather and a thousand excuses
and indiscretions affect the kidneys.
Among the first signs of approaching
trouble are backache, nervousness,
headaches and pain in passing urine.
Before John Morrow, the celebrated
American chemist, discovered the tab
lets that are called Morrows Kidneoids,
such symptoms were often neglected or
wrongly treated, but the great value of
Morrow's discovery lies in checking
kidney disease in the earliest stages.
The Kidneoids are small yellow tablets,
which contain all the elements needed
to meet every stage of kidney disease,
even the most severe cases.
The following is what John McCord,
express agent for the Wells, Fargo Co.,
residing at 1870 Short Winter street,
Springfield, Ohio, has to say after CIV
Gng Morrow's Kidneoids fair trial:
81 have been suffering from kidney
troubles for a number of years. My
back would often become so lame and
the pain so intense that could scarce
Iy get around at all. The jar expert
enced from driving the wagon was at
times unbearable, and for several days
at time was unable to perform the
work I at last concluded to give Nor
rows Kidneoids a trial, and to my sur
prise after taking two boxes, the pain
and weakness has entirely left me, and
I am enjoying better health in every
way than for the last twenty years"
MorroW's Kidneoids are for sale at all
dealers Price so cents a box, or six
boxes for 81. so. If not to be had at your
dealers, they will be sent postpaid upon
receipt of price by Herb Medicine Co.,

Convention of Police Chiefs Meets at

Milwaukee, May 1O.-The convention
of the national association of chiefs of
police, opened at the Hotel Pfister in
this city at 1915 o'clock today with
about 100 delegates, representing the
largest cities in the country.
Mayor Rose delivered a neat address
of welcome, after which President John
7. Jannssen made his annual address.
He referee to the vast and increasing
number of criminals as one of the main
problems to be dealt with. The speak
err said that every opportunity had been
given the first offender to again become
a law abiding citizen, but when a man
persists in his vicious course, he should
be dealt with accordingly. He then
spoke of the advantages of the systems
of measurement and photographing
criminals; advocated the adjustment
of the laws governing the extradition of
criminals; advocated the adjustment
Dor in the open air as preferable to the
present prison system. The pardoning
of criminals should be made more diff
cult and only permitted when doubt of
guilt appears. He suggested legislation
by the states for the appointment of
commissioners with the power to con-
struct a criminal code, which will meet
the present requirements and condi-
tons.

KANSAS LEADS
In Increased Wheat Acreage and Con-
dition of Crop.

Washington, May 1.-THE May re-
turns to the statistician of the depart
ment of agriculture show the acreage in
winter wheat to be 81 per cent greater
than the acreage last year, the COM
parison being not with the acreage har-
vested in 1897, but with that soWn in the
fall of 1885,
cent IN kansas, a more or less marked
increase in every eastern and every
southern state and some increases also
on the Pacific coast, the large expan-
sion thus indicated is to some extent
offset by decrease of per cent in In
diana, per cent in Ohio, II per cent in
Iowa, 10 per cent In Missouri and 16
per cent in Illinois. The reduction in
area in these last named states is due
to the fact that the fall of 1896 was one
of the finest seeding seasons ever
known, whereas, that of 1897 was one
of the most unfavorable. The average
condition of winter wheat is S6.5 against
80.2 on May LIST of last year.
In the nine states, with one million
acres or upwards in this product, the
average areas follow: Kansas, 100;
Pennsylvania, 90; Michigan and Ten
nessee, each 95; Missouri, 50; Indiana,
81; Illinois, Sc; Ohio, 81. and California,
&C.
Correspondents agree In reporting the
crop of California to be one of the
smallest ever raised in the state, on the
other hand the crop of Kansas bids fair
to be the largest in its history.
The average condition of winter rye
is 94.5, as compared with $50 on May
1 of last year.
The proportion of spring blowing US
ually done by May 1, is 1873 per cent or
the whole amount. The proportion done
this year by that date is 72.4, against

q. s. Treasury Clerks Oppose the New
Record system.

Washington, May 1.-THE time clocks
for which the treasury department mas
been negotiating for a long time have been
obtained and will be in operation through
out the department Monday morning. A
great deal of opposition to the system has
manifested itself among the highest PAID
and most faithful clerks of the department
in the last few days. The feeling is par
ticularly high because each clerk mas
been given a number, and hereafter, so
far as the machines are concerned, Will be
known only by that number.
A machine has been apportioned to GER
tain divisions of the treasury, and every
employee of these divisions Will have TO
register as No. so-and-so at his own ma
chine He must register whenever he
comes in or goes out. His record by num-
Der and by name will be compared later
to see how punctual he is at duty.
ITS too much like a convict system,
is the way a number of clerks speak OF
it.
The clerks have already been given their
numbers. In one division a clerk MADE a
protest on being known as mo Is" He
succeeded in swapping numbers with a
man of less superstitious nature In the
same division the men know each other as

HUGGING NOT PROVED.
Rev. MIR Mugg of Terre Haute Tried
on a Novel Charge.

Terre Haute, Ind, May 11-Rev. Mr..
Fusion, a retired minister of the Bap-
tist church at Fairbanks, has been tried
by the church on a charge of SANDER
ing Rev. Mr.. Mugs, a man who recent
.ly became pastor Of the church. Mr..
Fusion was accused of having said that
Mr.. Mugs was seen with his arms
around the waist of married woman.
At the trial the young married wO-
man denied that Mr.. Mugs had en-
comprised her waist and a woman as
positively testified that she had seen it
done. There was much other conflict
ing testimony, and the verdict was that
no SANDER had been circulated and yet
that it had not been proved beyond doubt
that Mr.. Mugg had Rugged the woman.
The church is now trying to determine
if there are to be more proceedings or
if Mr. Mugg is to continue as pastor.
