 good health. "it is true," he continued,
 that I do not always sleep we'll, my

 left him with a warning not to be too certain about his condition, but I tell you that unless that man takes prompt action of the right kind, he is candi- date for the grave, and that, too, within a limited perdod."
 And yet he does mt know iti' "The thing which makes Bright's dis ease of the kidneys, which that man un- doubtedly has, the most dangerous of all diseases is that 1t has no symptoms of its own. mean that pain is seldom felt tn the kidneys themselves, and yet l deliberately state as a physician that nearly one-half of the deaths in America
 are caused by Br.ght's disease of the
 kidneys This may sound like rash statement, but I am prepared to fully verify it. Hundreds of burial certMi- cates have been made cut by family physicians for heart failulre,' apoplexy,' paralysis, spinal complaint rhsuma- tism,' 'pneumon,a' and other common complaints, when in reality 1t was Bnghts disease of the kidneys" Few physicians and fewer people realize the extent of this disease or its dangerous and insidous nature. It steals into the system like thief, mani fests itself by the commonest symptoms and fastens itself upon the constitution before the victim fs aware of its pres ence. It is nearly as herdtary as com sumption, quite as common and fuliy as fatal Entire families, inheriting 1t died and vet none of the number knew or real. zed the mysterious power which was removing them"
 Not only this, but until recent years, no remedy was known which could pre- vent or cure this most fearful of dls- eases, and even today, with all the ad- vancement of science, there Is but one known discovery by which it can be pre- vented, controlled when 1t Is cont1acted, or finaliy cured. That remedy Is war ner's Safe Cure, and it has, to my cer- tain knowledge, saved more people from urptlmey deaths, and fs keeping more people in perfect health today than any other discovery ever known in the en- tire history of the world. It was con- cerning this remedy that the late pr. bio Lewis said: While my own life has been devoted to the prevention of disease, and while years ago I gave up the use of medl- cines, I gratefully recognize Warmer s Safe Cure, and if I found myself the victim of kidney trouble, should in sltantly use it.
 When physicians of the highest stand ing so unhesitatingly endorse modern discovery, which will certainly cure the most terrible of diseases, does 1t not stand to reason that those or us Wno realize that we are slowly drifting into a state of decline; that our kidneys, liver or urinary organs are not what they should be, should avail ourselves of the benefits of so great a scientific discov- ery, which are placed so easily Within our reach?

BELLE ELLEN MINE FIRE.
Another Suit For $15,000 Re-
 Sulting From This.
BLACK LISTS" DISMISSED
Cases of O Donald and Richardson for Robbing Cincinnati Dye House Passed-keIly
 Found Guilty for Same 0Hense.

Another case resulting from the Belle Ellen mine fire was filed in the city court yesterday against the Bessemer Land and Improvement company.
 Jasper N Campbell and Joseph Lewis, ad- ministrators of the estate of Frank Lewis, deceased, entered suit against the above company for damages in the sum of S15,- 900.
 This makes the sixth suit for a like amount that has been filed against the company in the past few days
 Several cases known as the "blacklist" cases were dismissed from the docket in the first division of the city court yester- day for want of prosecution, as follows:
 John D. Lewis vs. Alabama Great South ern Railroad company; $2O,0OO.
 T. P. German vs. Alabama Great South ern Railroad company; $2O0OO
 J. A. Harrell vs. Alabama Great South ern Railroad company; $20,OOO.
 Jas. c. Lovett vs. Alabama Great South ern Railroad company; $2OOOO.
 These cases resulted from the great A. R. U strike in 1894, the plaintiffs alleging that they were "blacklisted" by the defend- ants on account of the strike, and were thereby prevented from obtaining employ ment.
 About twenty suits were filed at the time, only .one of which went to trial and re- suited in a vedict for the defendant. The case of c. s. Simmons Co. vs. c. C.. and J. T. Camp was also dismissed for want of prosecution. In the second division the case of the Elyton Land company vs. William Hood, assumpsit, is being heard. Circuit Court In the circuit court yesterday the cases against Bob O'Donnel and Lonnie Rich ardson, charged with grand larceny, were passed. Harry Kelly, who was jointly in dicted with Richardson, asked for sever ance; and was put on trial and found guilty. The boys are alleged to have broken into the Cincinnati Dye House some time ago and stolen large quantity of clothing. E. c. Cronin, alias Kroman, charged with grand larceny, was found not guilty. Ex-Officer Scott of the police forces was found not guilty on 8 charge of assault with intent to murder. It was charged that Scott threw his club at prisoner who escaped from him and knocked him down.
 A number of cases were passed and con- tinued.

THE WHEELMEN WILL JOIN
With Steeds Daily Bedecked, They Will En-
 lived the Merchants Parade.

The bicyclists will join in the merchants parade of the carnival. There are more than 1000 wheelmen in the city, and it is probable that more than 200 will participate in the parade with steeds all gaily be- decked
 The Carnival Society will also invite the local military to join in the parade. All members of the companies who go in the procession will be entitled to go on the floor at the Rex ball. Those who do not form in line will be denied this privilege.
 The press bureau has sixty-five weekly papers printing carnival notes, and if thorough advertising counts for anything the Mardi Gras will be a great success.

course has been chosen because, Should

As far as the Oregon is concerned 1t may
be said of her that on her previous voy-
age she was one of our four battleships
and no more. But now she is marked as
the maritime wonder of the age. having
made the longest run of any warship on
record at a speed which part of the time
exceeded her contract time; at the end of

ed October %. 1894 She is registered as
steel coast-line battleship of 1925 tons
burden, with engines capable of develop

braces four 13-inch breech-loading rifles in

twenty 6-pounder and six 1-pounder rapid

Look at the picture her decks presented
on similar day five months ago when her
prov was turned northward and she had
>been pushed at her top speed for nearly
$4,000 weary knots, every one of which tore
at the nerves and courage of every soul on
board from the captain on the bridge to
the jack-o'-the-dust in the darkness of be-
low decks. Everybody knew war was de-
clared and from information received at
Rio Janeiro and Bahia the officers at least
knew of the foe they were likely to meet
somewhere between Brazil and tn Florida
coast. Down in the engine-rooms and fire.
holes men worked desperately but without
faltering to keep the propelling power up
to its highest mark.
