PARSNIP COMPLEXION.

1t does not require an expert to detect the
sufferer from kidney trouble. The hollow
cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark, puffy
circles under the eyes, the sallow parsnp-
colored complexion indicates it.
A physician would ask if you had rheuma-
tism, dull pain or ache in the back or over
the hips, stomach trouble, desire to urinate
often, or burning or scalding in passing it /;
if after passing there is an unsatisfed feeling
as if it must be at once repeated, or if the
urine has brick dust deposit or strong odor.
When these symptoms are present, no
time should be lost in removing the cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the
bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage, and
sometimes requiring the drawing of the
urine with instruments, or may run into
Bright's Disease, the most dangerous stage of
kidney trouble
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great dis
covery of the eminent kidney and bladder
specialist, is a positive remedy for such dis
eases. Its reputation is worldwide and it is
so easy to get at any drug store that no one
need suffer any length of time for want of it.

wonderful merits, mention EVENING HERALD

MARVELLOUS ESCAPES.


Indianapolis, Dec. ia wreck oc-
CURED on the Indiana, Decatur South
western railroad at 2:30 o'clock yes
terday morning 50 miles west of In
dianapois, near Guion Station. The
Indianapolis express eastbound, left
the tracks west of a high trestle and
passed over the trestle. which is GO
feet long, with seven coaches off the
rails and humping along the ties. The
trestle was so feet high. and 1t is con-
sidered phenomenal that the train was
not hurled off into the creek.
The rear car had just left the trestle
when a spreading of the rails just
ahead of the baggage car piled the
seven cars into a heap. The baggage
car and smoker were ground almost
into splinters and all of the cars were
badly wrecked. There were about 50
passengers on the train, and not a
woman or child i'm the list.

WRECKED IN MID.0CEAN.
Fen People Rescued. Including Two
Womcn-Thrllllng ENpericnces.

Womcn-Thrilling Experiences.
New York, Dec. 19.-The British
steamer Pawnee, which arrived yester-
day from Mediterranea ports, brought
ten shipwrecked people, eight men and
two women, who were taken from the
disabled schooner Deer Hill, of st.
Johns ~ b.. i'm mid-ocean.
Captain Aillenhead reported that on
the morning of Dec. s he sighted the
Deer Hill in evident distress. A heavy
northwest gale was blowing and a
dangerous sea running. The schooner
was seemingly unmanageable and the
rudder disabled or carried away. The
Pawnee stood by, and at 2 p. m. sue
Ceeded i'm getting a towline aboard,
which had been sent by drifting a
small line to leeward. The line part
ed. however and a boat was launched
in charge Of the chief officer and sent
to communicate with the Deer Hill.
The boat had nearly succeeded in
boarding the wreck. when an enormous
sea struck and stove it, and after great
difficulty the boats crew succeeded in
getting on board the schooner, where
they We're Obliged to remain all night.
on the following morning the weather
had slightly moderated, a towline was
sent on board and the Pawnee towed
the Deer Hill toward Bermuda. After
towing about six hours the line again
parted. Finding that the wind and
sea was increasing when the line part
ed, it was found impossible to get out
another. The captain of the Deer Hill
signaled that he wished to abandon
the wreck and requested the Pawnee to
stand by.
The gale continued throughout the
9th, 10th and 1lth, the Pawnee keeping
her position near the wreck, but found
it impossible to use the boats to remove
the unfortunate people of the Deer HILL
owing to the dangerous character of the
seas. Finally at Z p. m. of the 18th
the rescue was effected and the Deer
Hill was abandoned. The rescued peo-
pie were Captain c. w. Burns, Louisa
Burns, his daughter, Hazel Merritt. the
owners daughter. and seven of the
crew of the Deer Hill.

arrest charged with the murder of his
wife, Theresa. The charred body of
Mrs. Rollinger was found Friday night
in a clothes closet of her home, and
her death was at first supposed to be
the result Of an accident. The police
now claim they have sufficient evil
dence to prove that Rollinger strang-
led his wife, poured kerosene over the
body and set fire to it. Mrs Rollinger
owned some property in Austria, and
also carried $500 life insurance. Lately
the couple had not been living happily,
and Mrs. Rolinger had declared her

The Iron Trade

A few days ago we called the at
tentiou of our readers to the fact that
money was so plentiful in public in
stitutions for saving that the banks
were experiencing difficulty in loan
ing it. A condition Of this kind will
surely lead to the employment of
capital thus unproductive in new en-
terprises, and it is safe to say that
further impetus will thereby be given
to the present wave of prosperity
To-day we call attention to the
phenomenal activity in the iron
trade, which is experiencing great
boom in what is usually considered
the dull season in this branch of
trade. The output has never been so
great as at present, yet the demand
exceeds it, and everybody in the
trade expects a still greater boom in
1899.
Reports from Pittsburg, Chicago,
st. Louis, Birmingham and other
centres of the trade are of roseate
hue, and it is stated that but three
weeks supply Of pig iron is now on
hand in the country, and prices have
gone higher and are firmly adhered
to, a most gratifying condition of
affairs, In the month of October ex-
ports of articles made of iron and
steel were over seven million dollars
in value, while for the first ten months
OF 1898 the exports amounted to S67,-
29O, $50 an increase of sixteen
millions over 1897 and of over twenty
eight millions of dollars over 1896.
The new territory we have acquired
through the recent war will add to
our market for this class of products
when the progressive Americans are
once firmly established there and the
idle money in our banks is put to use
in developing it.
The business men who contemplate
the possibilities Of these new posses
sions are among the strongest expan-
sionists in the country, and as the
business man is practical his views
are not influenced by any mawkish
sentimentality and he is even now
reaching out for commercial advant-
ages.
1t is among the probabilities of the
near future that many railways will
be built for which the United States
will furnish the material, thus add
ing to the present oom iu the iron
trade.

sympathy For Foolish soldier.

Savannah, Ca, Dec. 19.-Prominent
citizens have interested themselves in
behalf of Moore, the Maine artillery
man who was the other day sentenced
to pay a fine of $500 or serve so days on
the chain gang by Judge Norwood for
attempting, on the streets, to hug the
wife of a prominent citizen. A petit
ton to the governor for pardon is be-
ing circulated, and it is being signed
not only by leading men, but by society
women as well, Moore was hilariously
intoxicated at the time of his offense.
He has borne an excellent reputation.
1t is probable the pardon will be
promptly granted. Moore is now on
the chain gang, where he has been for
two weeks.
