fcation Of the young woman's father
was supplemented today by that OF the
Middlesboro dentist who had treated
Miss Perkins teeth. He said that there

Gullinan has notified the members of

Additional Information has also come
from Middlesboro to the effect that
Miss Perkins left hat place three weeks

Bourne. a young man OF the town and
that since that time all trace of her

This is scarcely credible, but there are
numerous alleged witnesses Of such
outrages, and several who show scars
of recent origin and unhealed. Some
say they escaped only through brib-

1t is natural that there should be a
yearning for revenge upon the Spanish

To the PRESIDENT of the UNITED
STATES.

The Senate of the United States re-
spectfully take leave, fir, to express to
to you their deep regret for the loss
their country has suftained in the
death of General George Washington.
This event, so distrefing to all our
fellow citizens, must be peculiarly
heavy to you, who have long been af-
fociated with him in deeds of patriot
ism. Permit us, fir, to mingle orr
tears with yours: on this occasion it is
manly to weep. To lose such man at
such a crisis, is no common calamity
to the world: our country mourns
her Father. The Almighty Disposer
OF human events has taken from us our
greatest Benefactor and ornament. It
becomes us to submit with reverence
to him, who ''maketh darkness his
Pavilion.
With patriotic pride, we review the
life of our Washington, and compare
him with those of other countries who
have been pre- eminent in fame. An
cient and modern names are diminifhed
before him. Greatness and guilt have
too often been allied, but his fame is
whittier than it is brilliant The de-
ftroyers of nations flood abashed
at the majesty of his virtue. It re-
proved the temperance of their ambi-
ton, and darkened the splendor of vic
tory. The scenes closed, and we are
no longer anxious left misfortune
fhould sully his glory; he has travelled
on to the end of his journey, and car
RED with him an increasing weight of
honour; he has deposited it safely.
where misfortune cannot tarnish it
where malice cannot blaft it. Favored
OF Heaven, he departed without exhib-
lting the weakness of humanity; mag-
unanimous in death, the darkness of
the grave could not obscure his bright
ness.
Such was the man whom we deplore.
Thanks to God, his glory is consum-
mated. Washington yet lives on earth
In his spotless example-his spirit is in
Heaven.
Let his cOuntrymen consecrate the
memory of the heroic General, the pa
trlotic Statesman, and the virtuous
Sage; let them teach their children
never to forget that the fruits of his la
bours, and his example are their inher-
itance.

CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the blad-
der, was created for one purpose, and
if not dOctored too much is not liable
to weakness or disease, except in rare
cases. 1t is situated back of and very
near to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or inconvenience mani
tested in the kidneys, back, bladder or
urinary passage is often, by mistake
attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is
easily made and may be easily avoided.
To find out correctly, set your urine
aside for twenty four hours; a sedi-
ment or settling indicates kidney or
bladder trouble. The mild and extra
ordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney, and bladder
remedy is soon realized. If you need
a medicine you should have the best.
At druggists fifty cents and one dollar.
You may have sample bottle and
phamphlet, both sent free by mail,
upon receipt of three two-cent stamps to
cover cost of postage on the bottle.
