CAUSE Is PLAIN ENOUGH
External Explosion: But Who Did it
May be Another Question.

New YORK, MalCh ia Havana dis
patch to the Herald says:
The naval board has substantially COM
pleted its investigation. Everything now
is in the nature OF cumulative testimony,
strengthening the evidence that the Maine
was blown up by an external explosion.
The divers this week have been able to
add little to what they previously learned.
IN effect the proof, from the condition
of the hull and the keel as well as the
ma gaines, makes what might be called a
complete case of structural evidence of
an external cause. How far the board
can determine the agency of the explo-
sion is very uncertain. Many accounts
of conspiracies are sifted by it without
result.
A digest and analysis of the testimony
has been made. 1t is understood that this
is on its way to Washington.
The Spanish divers are continuing the
work internationally and in perfunctory
manner. The superstructure of wreckage
is now fairly well cleared away. Moth
ing definite can be learned regarding the
Spanish admiralty boards intention to
close its investigation. The Spanish au-
thorities will do nothing until the Amer
lean inquiry is closed.

true to its national platform, has stood
true to the home rule plank therein.
DR.. Southland says so, and what the doc

sylvania was appointed receiver of the
United States land Office al this place, in
place of the local upstairs, who thought
that local support was necessary to secure
an appointment This alone added one
hundred Republicans to our ranks in this
county. It received another and mighty
impetus when Mr.. Hainer. of Guthrie, was
selected for judge of this judicial district
over such weaklings as Pancoast, Scott, ct
al. This brought two hundred voters
more to our ranks clamoring.
Now comes Mr.. Harm of Oklahoma City,
for clerk of this district, in place of Dr.
Southland, c. B. Hunt and other presump-
tious local aspirants. This has added
three hundred more to our ranks who will
whoop it up this fall for the home rule
plank in the school districts. Last, we
hear that one or two of the chief deputy
clerks will be imported also, and that

A JUDGES SUDDEN DEATH.
He Was Stricken in Church-A Strik-
ing Lesson to Those Who Neglect
Timely Warning.

A learned Judge was taken suddenly
sick in church. December 5, 1897, in the
city of Brooklyn. Four days later, in
spite of the best medical aid. he died.
The doctors said the Judge had kidney
disease and had lived surprisingly long
time, everything considered.
A man or woman may live along for
years with incompetent kidneys only to
collapse as suddenly as house of cards
when the baby's hand knocks il over.
The early indications of Bright's disease
are sometimes very slight-headaches,
dull pains. depressed feelings. lack of en-
ergy-all these indicate the first stages of
Bright's disease and yet few people think
they mean anything serious until, often,
IL is too late.
There has never been but one discovery
known TO the world and the medical pro-
fession for checking Bright's disease in
its beginning or curing it after it has
progressed. That discovery, which is so
popular in Europe, America and through
out the world is Warmers Safe Cure.
If the learned judge, who was stricken
in church, had realized years before the
secret power that was undermining his
life, he might have counteracted it and
lived to a green old age.
But he did not know

pie today who are upon the same dan
