NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD.

A fact often overlooked, or not al
ways understood, is that women snf-
fer as much from distressing kidney
bladder troubles as the e The
womb is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, and for. that rea-
son any distress, disease or inconven-
fence manifested in the kidneys, back,
bladder, or urinary passages is often,
by mistake, attributed TO female
weakness or womb trouble of some
sort.
The error is easily made and may
be as easily avoided by setting urine
aside for twenty-four hours; a sedi-
ment or settling is evidence that your
kidneys and bladder need doctoring.
II you have pain or dull aching in
the back, pass water too frequently,
or scanty supply, with smarting or
burning-these are also convincing
proofs of kidney trouble. If you have
doctored without benefit, try DIR.

READY TO STRIKE.

q chance to strike. Miss Cameron had
handled the music freely in the search
for certain compositions. The music is
kept in a rack made for the purpose,
and this stands in a drawingroom near
q window. The presumption is that the
reptile crawled in through this window
and secreted itself in the music as the
Hrst. place of hiding that 1t came to.
Miss Cameron stood directly over the
rack as she went over its contents, and
the first glimpse she caught of the
snake was as it thrust its head out from
under one sheet, as if to look for COM
ing danger. Before it had time to strike,
Miss Cameron was on the further side
Of the room.
The snake wriggled around and
gained the floor. 1t coiled up, ready to
strike, as If in realization that there
was trouble ait, hand, and ratified at a
furious rate. It coiled and leaped sew
eral times, but by this time the young
lady and the family were forewarned,
and kept well out of the way. After a
sArmish, in which Miss Cameron took
O leading part, the snake was crippled
and dispatched. A lot of portable arti-
cles were thrown at it, after which the
young woman dealt it the blows that
ended its life.
The snake has been examined by sew
era1 experts, and pronounced a species
OF the 'black-ribbed" RATHER, that is
more than ordinarily venomous.

her smile was sweet. The monkey was

spectful distance for q little while, but
as she drew near the iron grating he
shyly approached. Upon close scru-
tiny he decided that she was prettier
than he thought at first.
He gazed up into her face, longing to
speak. She paid little attention to him,

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local application as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only n way to cure deaf
ness, and that is py constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian TUBE. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing,and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma-
ton can be-taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an int1amed con-
clifton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

The people in the Kondike region
will mob starve SO long as they have
money TO buy food at tremendous
prices. The last steamer that arrived
BIT Juneau had on board 1000 dozen
sfroaen eggs, some dead turkeys, and a
naTye fook OF live turkeys The latter
fwere to be driven to Dawson, over the
EQhalkat pass, in time for Thanksgiving.
Old prospectors laughed at the venture,
and predicted disaster, and declared
ftthat the turkeys would be all frozenbe-
fore they crossed the pass. Inreply, the
EQw1ler said, philosophicalay, that II they

OUR CANDIDATE IN 1900
For What Purpose?

We apprehend the object OF the
lecture course, is for the good of the
public, and especially for the class
which seldom has an opportunity to
listen to advanced thought upon top
les of history, science, hygiene, philos-
ophy, political government, civil
liberty or human rights. Upon all
these topics the a of every COM
munity needs instruction. The great
question is how can they be reached.
Many, who are most in need of the
instruction to be impaired, and the
most anxious to obtain it are unfor-
,tunately not in circumstances that
they can be to much expense in its
pursuit. The welfare of the state,
and the permanency of our institu-
tions, civil and religious, demands an
education along the lines Of thought
and study indicated. The question
is not whether the mass of the people
a be induced to pay for admission,
but whether they Sal be induced to
attend without the payment of an
admission fee. The effort should be
to secure as many of those needing
instruction in the topics treated. and
of those anxious to attend. as posi-
BILE, relying upon other means than
an admission fee to meet current ex-
penses. AS a means of protecting the
continued peace of the state, and of
its advancement in the lines of pro-
gressive civilization, boards of educa-
ton would be justified, and city coun-
ellis, in appropriating funds to their
support. Among the many physic aus
we have in Cresco there ought to be
one who is free from the vice of
tobacco in all its forms-who would
have the courage to tell the people
of it's poisonous and baleful effects
Z upon the human system, of its COR
ruption and Contamination of the
blood. Not for the correction of its
use in the ''old fellows" but for the
benefit and instruction of the young.
A half hours talk on the evils to the
system from the use of cigarettes
might lead some thoughtful person
to abstain from the use of these per-
nicious health destroying connections
of opium and nicotine.
Another half hour could be profit
ably used in describing the effect of
alcohol upon the brain and the ner-
vous system, showing how complete
" and entirely its use units the
user from filling positions of trust
and responsibility in the counting
room, or wherever property and
human life are at tho disposal OF
under control of the person addicted
to its use. Show to the young that
business success and promotion in
any business or occupation is largely
dependent upon their being total
abstainers. A lecture along this line
Of thought by DR.. Buck ought to dc
q vast amount of good to the youth
of our city.

value of Farm Lands.

Western papers are noting as among
the most important Of the changes In
conditions during the past few weeks
the rise in the value of farm lands, and
some of them are going 80 far us to esti-
mate that In O very wide area the in
crease in the market value of farm
property has been no less than 20 per
cent This added value has been espe-
cially noticeable in the Mississippi val
ley, and one of the newspapers of Cleve-
land, O., asserts that In the neighbor-
hood Of that city the change Is very
marked, and that men with money at
command are looking upon such prop
erty, either for loans or investments,
far more favorably than they did last
spring. ALI Of this, says the Philadel-
phia inquirer, is gratifying both from
an economic and q social point Of view.
The pushing Of electric railroads
through parts OF the country that were
not hitherto known, except by pedes-
TRANS bent on exercise, by artists or
botanists, or by those who caught
glmpses of forests and fields from a car
window, as well as the knowledge that
has come through the almost universal
use of the bicycle, has made possible the
return Of thes"Wayside Inn," as Inn
mortaized by Longfellow, and has
aroused a love for country homes, such
as Is so deeply felt by the comfortably
situated portions Of the people OF Eng
land. Thereare, ills true, jewellers In the
city who establish their homes for q
part of the year in the country, careless
whether the Investment be a paying
one or not from the standpoint Of dol
lars and cents; but there are hundreds
of others who, while longing for he
pleasures of rural life, In handicapped
by the thought hat they cannot afford
to indulge In a luxury, and have there
fore to content themselves With cone
tdnuous life In the city, save during
their short summer vacation. During
the past few years the country and the
town have been drawing closer to each
other. The part which chemistry and
~inysntion are playing in developing the
of the soil has raised the
vocation Of the farmer to q higher
standard. Agricultural colleges have
also done much to suggest to young
men, who might otherwise be comr
PEELED, after studying for n Of the
learned professions, to waste years IN
the struggle to secure recognition, thai
there are other fields in which they may
gain success, and now that conditions
are improving in every department. Of
human activity there is an opportunity
both for them and for the tiredbusiness
man of the city to peep out at the world
through the loopholes Of retreat, and at
the same time keep in touch with mod
ern thought and advancement, and
know that their investment Is a paying
one. The increase in country homes
will benefit many industries by proydd-
ing Increased work for those who are
engaged in them; new and improved
agricultural methods will also come
Into use, and the results of this upward
movement will be widespread
