TIE office of treasurer is the
most responsible of the county Off
ccs, but the republicans of Whit
man county have nominated man
for that position who commands
the respect of the whole people.
VIM. j. Windus, while we'll known
throughout the county, can not be
called an office seeker, and his name
appears on the ticket this year, not
at his own request, but because his
friends recognized in him a man
veil fitted for the duties and respon-
sibilities of the office of county
treasurer. The republicans made
10 mistake when they nominated
him as 1.-The best man for the place. :"
Nr Windus is a man of affairs,
having been in business in Pull
man for many years, and his integ-
lity and business ability can not
De questioned.

ORIGIN Of THE RED CROSS
FORTY NATIONS ARE UNITED IN
IT.
Was Organized in Switzerland in 1864
The United States Joined IT
Eighteen Years Later.

There is i'm Indiana about a square
mile of land with buildings on it, and
forty nations are pledged by their
governments i'm solemn treaty that no
hostile foot shall tread upon it nor
an angry shot he fired over it. for it
is the property of the Red Cross So
ciety of America, a branch of the In
ternational Red Cross Society.
To Switzerland and to a Swiss gem
tleman-IIenry Dunant-belongs the
honor of enlisting every nation of the
world as official patrons of the work
pioneered by Florence Nightingale.
He was travelling in Italy in June,
1859, and being near the terrific and
sanguinary battle of Solferino he took
part in the care of the wounded. He
was deeply impressed with the lack
of hospital features and the thought
fastened on him that nations might
be bound together by solemn agree
ment to prevent Unnecessary military
suffering. He published a book about
the battle and its horrors, which Gre
ated widespread sensation and it
was soon translated into several Ian
guages, Encouraged by the public
interest in the book he laid it before
the Swiss Society of Public Utility. an
organization corresponding to what
we would call society of social sci
ence. The idea was taken up warmly
and a committee. with the general in
chief of the Swiss Confederation at
it's head, was formed to interest other
countries. In October, 1868, an in
ternational conference, attended by
sixteen nations, including all the Eu-
held. This conference passed reso-
luton, with the authority of the Su-
preme Federal Council of Switzerland
to call an international convention.
That convention met at Geneva on
August s. 1864, and sixteen nations
were again represented by men of
great eminence in diplomacy, militia
ry and medical service, all being en-
powered by their governments to en-
ter into treaty
One work of the convention was to
devise the well known flag for hospi-
tails and conveys and the arm badge
for persons, viz: the red cross of
four equal arms on white ground.
Switzerland is forever identified with
this, as it is the Swiss national ensign
with the colors reversed.
III was not until Garneld was IN the
presidential chair that. with the help
of Senator Window and Secretary
Blaine, the subject was submitted to
Congress, seventeen years after its
first presentation by our Minister at
Berne. The little committee of 1877
was organized as the American Asso-
citation of the Red Cross, and it is do
ing its good work today.
President Arthur continued with
spirit the work which Garfield's sad
death interrupted, and, with the help
of Senators Edmunds. Morgan and
Lapham, Congress agreed to the trea-
ty of Geneva, which was signed by the
President on the list day of March,
1882

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, a receptacle for the urine,
and as such it is nOtliable to any form Of
disease except by one of two ways. The
first way is from imperfect action of the
kidneys. The second way is from care
less local treatment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys is the chief cause of bladder troub-
les. SO the womb, like the bladder, was
created FOR enc purpose, and if not doc
tored too much is not liable to weakness
or disease, except in rare cases. 1t is
situated back of and very close to the
bladder, therefore any pam, disease or
inconvenience manifested in the kidneys,
back, bladder or urinary passage is often,
by mistake, attributed to female weak
ness or womb trouble of some Sort The
error is easily made and may be as east
ly avoided. To find out correctly set
your urine aside for twenty-fOur hours;
sediment or settling indicates kidney
or bladder trouble. The mild and extra
ordinary effect of DR.. Gilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney and bladder rem.
edy, is soou realized. If you need
