The Surprise of All.

Mr.. James Jones, Of the drug firm
of Jones & Son, Cowden, ILL.,, in speak
ing of DR.. Kings New Discovery, says

serious that physicians at Cowden and
Pana could do nothing for her. 1t
seemed to develop into Hasty Con-
sumption. Having DR.. Kings New
Discovery in store, and selling lots of
it, he took a bottle home, and to the
surprise of all she began to get better
from first dose, and half dozen dollar
bottles cured her sound and well. DR..
Kings New Discovery for Consump.
ton, Coughs and Colds is guaranteed
to do this good work. Try it. Free

Said to be a "WhooIy Cooley"

Frank Alvin, young boatman of
Willlamsport, was sentenced to two
months in Jail at Cumberland on Mon
day last by Justice Anthony, for as
sault on James Sigler, boatman, aged
about seventy years. Alvin cursed
the old man and bantered him to fight,
Sgler proceeded to defend himself
when Alvin struck him over the head
with a loaded horse-whip, causing
painful wound. After striking Sigler,
Alvin ran out on to the ice on the ca
nal basin closely pursued by Sigler.
They clinched and fought all over the
ice, which eventually gave way and
both went down into the water. This
did not cool their anger, and Sigler
was choking the young man when he
freed himself and fed. The authori-
ties at Cumberland claim they have
every reason to believe that Alvin is
member Of the "whooly cooley" gang
of Williamsport, as he came to that
city Immediately after the recent ceme-
terry dissertation, and though unable
to connect him as participant in that
particular affair, they claim to have
evidence to show his connection with
previous acts of vandalism, chiefly the
painting of a COW belonging to
Williamsport magistrate. 1t is thought
that Alvin went to Cumberland to
avoid a participation in the cemetery
desecration, as it is positively known
that he had taken the iron-clad oath
said to have been given to the mem
bers of the gang at Barry's saloon in
Wi.liamsport.

THE MAINE DISASTER.

During the past week no new light
has been thrown upon the cause of the
dreadful explosion in Havana harbor
last week by which the great war yes
sci Maine was blown up and 26O Of
her gallant crew were destroyed. Cap
tain Sigsbee, who escaped unhuIt, is
still at Havana, and a special board of
inquiry, composed of prominent naval
officers, is conducting an investigation
to ascertain what caused the disaster.
The sessions of this body are secret,
and absolutely nothing Of the proceed
ings are divulged. No news will be
given out until its report is made to
the authorities at Washington.
Divers are at work on the wrecked
vessel, their work so far being almost
entirely confined to the recovery Of
the bodies of the sailors and marines
So far about $50 bodies have been
found, nearly all of them having been
badly burned and mutilated and quite
unrecognizable. They are being buried
at Havana. The Secretary of the
Navy has made a contract with two
great wrecking firms to recover every
thing Of value in the ship, Congress hav-
ing appropriated 100000 for the
work. An effort will be made to raise
the Maine and tow her to the United
States.
The belief has been generally ex-
pressed by persons whose opinions are
of weight that the disaster was the re-
suit of an accidental explosion on the
Maine herself, as she carried many
different sorts of powder and high ex-
plosives. During the past few days
however, there are rumors that posi-
bly, this is not the case, and that tor
pedo did the deadly work. Both our
own and the Spanish government are
acting in the most conservative man
ner, and the facts will be shown by
the investigations now in progress.
The United States government is
placing our navy in proper fighting
trim, SO as to be ready for any emer-
gency. The various battle-ships are
being overhauled, supplies concentra-
ted and ammunition assembled. The
monitor Terror has been ordered to
New York.
Nearly all of the foreign govern
ments have sent their official condo
lence to our government, Spain has,
of course, disavowed any knowledge
of the trouble, and the Spanish author
tiles at Havana have done everything
in their power to care for the wound
ed and show respect to the dead.

Tha partial loss of the grape crop this
veal caused by the heavy rains, is esti-
mated to exceed $l,OOO.0O0. Farmers
and vineyards all ever the northern part
of the State have suffered. While this
is true, it is equally fact that lost and
failing strength may be restored by the
persistent, systematic use of the great
national tonic, Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, which renews and tones the activi-
ty of the stomach, liver and the bowels,
counteracts tendency to rheumatism
and kidney complaint, and prevents ma

eases have run their course, recovery is
greatly accelerated by the use of the Bit
tiers, which improves appetite and i'm

IF the United States escapes a war
with Spain it will not be the fault of
the sensational newspapers of New
York. These yellow" journals have
published more lies in connection with
the blowing up of the warship Maine
than were ever before printed in the
same length of time. To read them
one would think that we were on the
very verge of war, when the truth is
both our own and the Spanish govern
ment are perfectly cool and the great
masses of the people have no desire or
expectation of a rumpus.

CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys is the chief cause of bladder trou-
bles. So the womb, like the bladder,
was created for one purpose, and if not
doctored too much is not liable to weak
ness or disease, except in rare cases. 1t
is situated back of and very close to the
bladder, therefore any pain, disease or
inconvenience manifested in the kid
neys. 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 as
easily avoided. To find out correctly,
set your urine aside twenty-four hours; a
sediment or settling indicates kidney or
bladder trouble. The mild and the ex-
traordinary effect of DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney and blad-
der remedy, is soon realized. If you
need medicine you should have the
best. At druggists fifty cents and one
dollar. You may have sample bottle
and pamphlet, both sent free by mail,
upon receipt of three two-cent stamps
to cover cost of postage on the bottle

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-

The first way is from imperfect action

careless local treatment of other diseases.
