SAYS the Newbern Journal.
"The election passed off

With very few exceptions sim

There is perhaps no other
State IN the Union where, un-

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys is
the chief cause of bladder troubles. 1t is
comforting to know that DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root fulflls every wish in quickly curing
bladder and urinary troubles. 1t corrects ina
bility to hold urine and scalding or singing
pain in passing it, or bad effects following use
of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity Of being compelled to get
up many times during the night to urinate.
The mild and extraordinary effect of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is soon realized. 1t

the most distressing cases. If you need a

The anthracite coal trade presents
little change, says the Ledger. Some
what more demand for coal has fol
lowed the colder weather of the past
week, but it has rather given en-
couragement for the future than done
much to deplete unsold stocks. The
cold wave has extended I've most of
the country north of the Potomac
and Ohio rivers, and the hope in the
trade is that it will stimulate orders
from the Northwest as well as New
England. 1t is unfortunate that the
coal trade should depend so largely
upon the weather, for the public gen
orally do not agree with coal opera
tors in the wish for severe cold and
storms. The general impression is
that radical restriction will be
necessary for several months TO come
TO keep the output down to actual
market requirements. Dealers are
only buying from hand to mouth,
and yet spring is closely approach
ing.

calling the attention Of his people to
the various rules Of conduct during

der the Interior Department.
Washington, Feb. 22.-Yesterday was
private bill day in the house, but lit
tie was accomplished, owing to the
fact that most of the time was con-
sumed in the passage of private pen
sion bills coming over from Friday
night session three weeks ago. The
feature of the day was the spirited
contest over the bill to pay Newberry
college. n Lutheran institution in South
Carolina, $15, 600 for damages sustained
by 1t while used as a barracks by fed
eral troops shortly after hostilities
ceased. 1t was strongly opposed by
Mr.. Dingley and Mr.. Dalzell, but Mr..
Cooper, of Texas, who championed it
on the Democratic side, was supported
by Mr.. Mahon of Pennsylvania, Mr..
Walker of Massachusetts and other
Republicans, and it was finally passed.
For three hours today the senate had
under discussion the bill providing for
the taking of the 18th and subsequent
1t was so amended as to
place the census bureau under the sec
retary of the interior, but the extended
discussion which followed disclosed so
wide a divergence of views IN the part
of senators as to the various features
of the measure that no further action
was AIKEN. \ resolution offered by
Mr.. Allen, of Nebraska, directing the
committee on naval affairs to make
an investigation of the disaster to the
battleship Maine was adopted without
debate. The senate also passed the
house bill appropriating $780, 900 for
raising the Maine.

THE PRESIDENT IN PHILADELPHIA
lie Delivers an Grafton Mt II Wash
Ington BirthdnN EXcrclses.

He Delivers an Grafton at the wash-
ington Birthday Exercises.
Philadelphia, Feb. 22.-President Nc
Kinley, accompanied by his secretary,
]. Addison Porter, arrived here yester-
day afternoon in the private car Of
President Frank Thomson, of the
Pennsylvania railroaS The president
was met by Frank Thomson, Charles
G. Harrison, provost of the University
Of Pennsylvania, and c. stuart Pat
%terson, and by them escorted to the
street. Here carriages were entered,
and the party was driven to the resi-
dence of Mr.. Harrison, whose guest the
president and Mr.. Porter will be dur
Ing their stay in the city. The presi-
dent today delivered an Grafton at the
Washington birthday exercises of the
University of Pennsylvania at the
Academy of Music.
The prevalent excitement over Span
lsh affairs seemed to give added public
interest to the presidents visit, and
the big Pennsylvania railroad station
md the streets adjacent thereto were
crowded with people eager to see and
greet the chief magistrate. Two COM
panies of mounted policemen escorted
the carriages to Mr.. Harrison's resi-
dence, which is several blocks from the
station. Cheering crowds greeted the
president along the entire route
In view of the condition of public
affairs, every arrangement had been
made to keep the president in touch
with all the departments at Washing
ton, and to keep him fully informed Of
developments at Havana direct tel
egraphic communication had been es-
tablished between Washington and Mr..
Harrison's house, and in addition to
this a long distance telephone was at
the disposal of the president in the
event of the necessity of communica-
ton with Washington.
The city authorities propose to exer-
else the utmost care over the president
during his stay here, in order to pro-
tect him from any possible a~nnoyances.
Both the front and rear of Provost
H~arrison's residence are guarded by
policemen, and in all his movements
while in this city the chief magistrate
is closely followed by a Gordon of Of
ficers.

IT was expected that the appoint
ment of "A Naval Officer and Sur
veyor of the Port at Philadelphia
would be made this week, but from
information received from Washing
ton it looks like another trying sus.
pense for the faithful in this
county. These appointments will not
be made until the middle of next
month, when the term of the present
ineunbents expire. This was the in
formation given out on Saturday by
Senators Quay and Penrose, and is
received with any thing but delight
by the friends of Maj, Finney. How.
ever, everything comes to those who
wait.

THE trial of Emile lola, the famous
novelist, continues to attract wide
spread attention. He is without
doubt the most talked about man in
France today. He has made a bold
stand as the champion of the con
Wet Dreyfus, and charges the French
authorities, who condemned Dreyfus
to a traitors doom, with all manner
Of wrong doing. For this lola is
compelled to defend himself in court,
and they afford him very little OPP
portunity to do that. Trial by jury
in France is a farce.

IS IT
A Question often Asked by Those Afflicted
with Piles.


Is a strained joint durable Is local in
fammation durable? OF course, if properly
treated. So is piles.
People often become afflicted with piles
and ask some old CHRONIC who has always
persisted in the wrong treatment and natur-
ally he discourages them 10y telling them
that their case is hopeless.
They in turn discourage others, and thus a
disease that can in every case be cured by
careful and skillrul handling is allowed to
sap the energy of thousands who might free
themselves of the trouble in a few days.
Pyramid Pile Cure will cure the most ag-
g~ravated case of hemorrhoids in an astonish-

ter how large, allays the Inflammation and
stops the aching or itching at one.
Thousands who had resortsd to expensive
surgical treatment have been cured by the
Pyramid Pile Cure-iu a number of instances
persons who had spent months in a hospital
under a pile specialist.
1t is a remedy that zone need fear to apply
even to the most aggravated, swollen and
inflamcd hemnorrhOidal tumOrs.

ease you can master it and master it quickly

TODAY is Washington's Birthday,
but its observance in Shenandoah
was confined to the closing of the
banks and several business places. 1t
is a national holiday that has been
less honored, in recent years, than
any of our holidays, and it reflects
no credit upon the patriotism of our
people. The day is one that should
be generally observed.
