CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys is the chief cause of bladder trou-
bles. So the womb, like the bladder,
was CT eated 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
kidneys, back, bladder or urinary pas
sage 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 twen-
ty-four hours; a sediment of settling in
dicates kidney or bladder trouble. The

VIM. (. Gladstone.

Westminster Abbey would lose its
reputation if Gladstone's name were
not to be found there among England's
glorious dead. Montgomery Herald.
Gladstone will remain one Of the big
figures in the century now so near it's
close that the next big man of his class
must make his reputation in the century
to come.-Philadelphia Times.
The account of Gladstone's death
which recorded that his last utte1ance
was prayer told only fragmentary
truth. His whole life was prayer, and
all humanity was his neighbor.-Phila-
delphia Record.
Honored by all the world for his
wonderful ability as scholar, states
man and leader, loved by the American
people because his ideas came the
nearest to being Americanism that ever
originated in an English brain, idolized
by the Irish because of his attempt to
free them from bondage, he was one of
the greatest men of the century, and
his death is universally mourned.-
Iowa State Register.
Conviction is the key to Gladstone's
character, the explanation of its SEEM
ing paradoxes and inconsistencies
conviction based upon the action and
reaction of powerful intellect and a
powerful conscience, sensitive to over
refinement, told his intellect what was
right. Intellect, acute, eager. thoroughly
informed, showed him how to reduce
the abstract right to the concrete action,
to proclaim the imperative truth of the
hour so that men saw and obeyed, so
that injustice was swept from the statute
books and Justice put in its place. New

In Mr.. Gladstone there remained to
the last and will ever remain, much
that is mysterious, perplexing, insol-
uble. He delighted that it should be
so. It will always be SO. But the
splendor of his intellect and of his
achievements has shown out upon the
universe, and will dazzle bewildered
posterity. uncertain to the last as to the
true value of his services to his country.

for the week ending May "a, 1898:
The week has been very favorable for
the growth of all vegetation. The rain

growing crops. The average rainfall for
the state during the week was slightly
over one and onehalf inches, being
heaviest in Dane, Rock, Waupaca.

AZURE was low during the early part of
the week and light frost occurred in
some Of the western counties on the
18th, but the latter part Of the week
was very warm, which, with the abund
ant rain, forced vegetation with great
activity. Severe local storms occurred
in various portions of the state on the
18th, amounting to destructive tornados
in Marathon, Langlade and Price coun-
ties, with loss Of life and great damage
to property. Corn planting has been
delayed to some extent by the rains and
considerable remains to be planted
Early planted corn has terminated
nicely under the favorable conditions
during the week and is coming through
the ground in some sections. Small
grains have made excellent progress,
especially during the latter part of the
week. Winter wheat and rye are do
ing well. Rye is beginning to head in
some sections. Pastures have been
much improved by the rains and warm
weather. Fruit trees are in full bloom
and as yet have not been damaged by
the frequent light frosts. Small fruits
are in excellent condition and promise
an abundant crop.

THE RING-NECKED PHEASANT.
by Dwight W. Huntingdon

by Dwight W. Huntingdon
The Monaghan pheasant or ring-neck
is the pheasant which has been intro
duced into America and is now in many
places shot as one of our own game
birds. Judge o. n. Denney, when rep
resenting the United States rs Consul
General at Shanghai, determined to
introduce the pheasant into America.
He became deeply interested in the
large variety of exquisitely plumaged
food birds of that section of the globe,
and determined to introduce the hard
lest, the most toothsome and the most
prolific into the United States.
His first experiment, i'll 1881, was
failure; but the next year he was more
successful, and, the birds having been
closely protected by legislation for a
number of years, became vecy aDund-
ant and are now common game bird
on the Pacific coast.
The pheasants are being introduced
into Ohio and many other states. The
state hatchery this year made dlstribu-
ton of birds to the various counties and
we of Ohio look forward to good pleas
ant shooting in 1900.
The pheasants are said to be very pro-
life and raise large broods. They are
as hardy rs quail or more 80 and stand
severe winter well. They are a bird
As large as a grouse and excellent on
the table.
The male Monaghan or ring-necked
pheasant is beautiful bird with mag
nlfcent plumage which almost rivals
that of the peatowl in beauty. The
colors are red, yellow and black, with
gold and bronze reflections. The head
is ofan iridescent blue or purple, reflect
ing green, and about the neck is pure
white band which suggested the name
"ring-neck." The female is not so
handsome-the markings being yellow
ish and grey brown.
G. NJ. Miller Of Eugene, Oregon, says
"The pheasant gives out stronger
scent than the blue grouse or the prairie
chicken, and lies better to the dog
During the open season-September ]
to December Ian hours drive in any
direction from Eugene will bring one tc
the shooting grounds. The law limits
the shooter to twenty birds each day;
but this number is often killed in a few
hours" They cannot be tanned OF
domesticated. After months of captiy.
1ty, they are as wild as when first taken
They are game" first, last and all the
time. The flesh of the Monaghan
pheasant is almost as white as that OF
the domestic chicken, and has pro.
nounced gamy flavor much appreciated
by all lovers of wild meat.

What Has Become of Them2

It has often been said that it requires
war to develop the latent resources OF
a nation. Doubtless there is much truth
in that statement; but the fact remains
that the nation is now at war and so far
as surface indications 60 there is sup
preston of resources rather than devel-
opment or them.
What has become of the inventor OF
that bullet-proof cloth which was ex-
plotted here last year? That invention
was great thing-in peace; but in war
it seems to be worth about as much as
the figure without the tail.
What has become of Edison's great
scheme of defending harbor by cleo
tricity? A year ago he was talking about
destroying man-of-war by playing upon
it with hose charged with electricity.
How about that now?
What has become of Tesla oscillator,
with which ne said he could blow up
the magazine of war ship many miles
away? He isn't doing it nowadays.
What has become of General Greedy s
war balloon, from which he could drop
dynamite into the enemy's camp? Why
doesn't he drop?
What has become of Marconi's sys-
tenn of wireless telegraphy, by which
the commander of warship was to
keep in constant touch with headquar-
tiers during a cruise? Sampson isn't
using 1t this season.
What has become of the submarine
boats of Holland, Raddatz and Siemens?
If we remember correctly those gentle
men wanted no easier job than to enter
Havana harbor under water, counter
mine it and blow up the entire Spanish
fleet and Notifications there. Isn't this
a good time to do it?
What has become of Editor Stead's
system of telepathy by which a few
months ago he said he could hold sus-
tanned communication with any person,
no matter how far away? Will Brother
Stead kindly call up Sampson, Schley
and Cervera and ask them how they
like it as far as they have gone?-Times-
