putting under the eyes pains in the back,
colored or brick-dust urine, chilliness and
feverishness are pretty certain to indicate
that you are on the road to Bright's disease.
And you may not realize it.
Why2
Because kidney diseases are the most mys-
terious of all known troubles, aud they are
the hardest of all things to detect.
If you we're asked to put your hand di-
rectly over the kidneys, would you know
just where to place it2
Few people would.
The fact is that the kidneys have few
symptoms Of their own, but possesses nearly
all the symptoms known to suffering hu-

it is equally true that the cause of nearly
every physical trouble can be traced

Report of the Monetary Commission
Regarding Currency Reform.

Washington, Jan. 4.-The report OF the
monetary commission, containing the plan
Of currency reform proposed by it, to-
gether with full discussion of the sub
ject, with a mass Of valuable statistics
and other information, has been sent out
by the executive committee Of the Indian
apolis convention. The main points of the
argument include ground covered many
times by the commission As to silver, it
says:
1--WE have 1854 .355 ,O3l of notes of s.
and under, and 6O,l96,7sS OF silver dol
lars in actual circulation, making total
of S4l4, 1851 $40 of current money in use,
exclusive Of geld, in denominations of ST.;
So and S55 Our total stock of silver dol
lars is $452, 49, 1872. This is an excessive
quantity to have at the existing discrep-
ancy between their legal and actual value
But with further coinage OF them discon
tinued and their parity assured by the
exchange Of gold for them on demand, it
is better to retain them as they are than
to attempt final solution at this time
OF the problem which they present. BY
withdrawing all silver certificates over S.,
and all other notes under $40, place will
be made for nearly all the silver dollars
in a way which will give the country the
full benefit of them for current use with
out imposing upon the treasury any Sc
rious burden in their maintenance

to 5000. .567.

Washington, Jan. ). - The monthly
statement Of the public debt, issued today,
shows that at the close of business Decem-
Der 81, 1897, the debt, less cash in the
treasury, amounted to 500, ,567, a de-
crease for the month Of SlO,ll4,S99. This
decrease is principally due to an increase
in the cash, which is accounted for by the
sale Of the Union Pacific railroad.
Following is a recapitulatlon Of the
debt: Interest bearing debt $S47 ,365 ,620,
debt on which interest has ceased since
maturity 81 .33O27O debt bearing no in
terest S375, $50. 500; total 1924 ,5S6,336.
This amount, however, does not include
$57G,95G,933 in certificates and treasury
notes outstanding, which is offset by an
equal amount Of cash in the treasury.
The cash in the treasury is classified as
follows: Gold $l97 ,4G9.235, silver $507,-
29l ,6S4, paper $l0G,33l ,69l, bonds, dis
bursting officers balances. etc. $5O, ,29S, ,72S:
total 1851 ,39l $40.
Against this there are demand liabilities
outstanding amounting to S625,9l6,6Ol,
which leaves the cash balance in the treas
ury S235 ,476,769.

FLOOD IN CHEHALIs VALLEY.
Railrond Tracks Are Badly Washed
Out-Grain and Hay Ruined

Tacoma, Jan. 1.-The Chehalis valley is
confronts the eye in every direction.
Farms and highways alike are under sew
eral feet of water and men 90 from one
point to another in boats. Fish Commits
sioner Little, when he left the fish hatch
cry Oh the Chehalis river, rowed across
farms and up the county road, now buried
under 10 feet Of water. Mr.. Little has
Just arrived from the flooded district on
the first train that succeeded in getting
through. He says the loss will not be very
extensive but the prospect is not at all
encouraging. Some Of the farmers will
stored on the farms and others may lose
some stock.
The floods are the highest ever known
in the valley. The smaller streams, many
Of them tributaries to the Chehalis, are
out Of their banks, and the usually placid
creeks have become raging torrents. The
Sachet is four feet higher than it has ever
been and the Wynoochie is over the rail
road tracks. At Oakville the branch line
was under three feet of water.
1t is not probable that much stock will
be lost if the water subsidies. The farmers
will lose heaviest on their stores of grain
and hay, which were in the granaries or
in stacks. Land slldes have done the
most damage. The bridge over the Stilla-
guamish river at Arlington, on the Seattle
& International has been carried away.

Brought Out by Miners.

Port Townsend. Jan. 5. - There was
S627 500 in gold dust and nuggets on the
steamer Corona, which has arrived from
Alaska. The treasure on the steamer was
carefully guarded on the trip down by two
watchmen on day and night shifts, Some
Of the nuggets averaged as high as l.
ounces A man named ]. Davidson, who
says he halls from Cripple Creek, Col, had
a nugget that weighed l5l ounces. One
of the drawers in Captain Carroll's room
was packed with nuggets Of all sizes The
correspondent had the pleasure of seeing
this wealth through the kindness of Cap
tain Carroll In addition to this amount
there was considerably more carefully
tied up in sacks among the returning

safe to say that in drafts and gold dust
there was about 81 100000 i'll wealth
aboard the Corona.
