ONE ne TWO Why's

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, a receptacle for the urine,
and as such it is not liable 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 troubles.
50 the womb, like the bladder, was Great
ed for one purpose, and if not doctored 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 pain, disease or inconvenience mani
tested in the kidneys, back, bladder or
| urinary passage is often by mistake, at
| tributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is easily
made and may be as easily avoided. To
find out correctly, set your urine aside for
twenty-four hours; sediment or settling

DIED.

DIED.
LEsTER.-At the home of his daughter,
Mrs J. g. West, in this city, Wednes-
day morning, Feb 49, 1898, Ezra n.
Lester, aged 81 years, months and S
days.
Mr. Lester died very quietly at six
o'clock, after a distressing illness Of
several months. Two of his four daught-
ers, Mrs. West and Mrs. Kohl(of Clifton,
were at his bedside when he expired.
During the past two months his two
other daughters, Mrs Potter of Napoleon
y. D., and Mrs. Cochran of Finley, n D.,
were also with him much of the time,
though both were obliged to return to
their homes short time since.
The deceased was born Sept 6, 1913, at
Lyme, New London Co, Conn. Here he
spent his boyhood and youth, and here
also, in 1889, he married his first wife,
Nancy Otis. He came west in 1855,
settling for a short time in the southern
part of the state. In 1856 he came to
Clifton and at once took his place
among the vigorous pioneers who helped
to build up the country.
On the 18th of FEBRUARY, 1882, occurred
the death of his wife, the mother of his
four daughters, whose remains were
buried at Prescott. Near the close OF
February in 1884 he married Mrs. Chin
mock. who survives him. Owing to a
pitifuI illness of her own. which demands
the care of others, she has been unable
for some time past to offer her husband
such wifely attention as she would other
wise have ministered.
Mr.. Lester was a man of strong traits
of character lafge-hearted and
direct. He was good friend, and a
good father and husband. His personal
honor was beyond reproach, and his
kindness of spirit endeared him to
chance acquaintance as well as to his
family circle and nearer friends His
unselfsh labors in life found their reward
in the devotion of the people who were
near and dear to him.
The funeral was conducted to-day at
10oclocz 4. NJ, at the home Of Mrs. West,
under the direction Of Rev. Mcintosh.
The remains we're taken to Prescott for
burial.

evening at the home OF Mr. and Mrs

able party at which upwards Of thirty
five guests played an interesting
series of eight games The score
cards at the tables were Of bristol
board, heart shaped, with fly-coyers
in two tints representing hearts inter
twined The inference here, was the
yery natural one that in cinch two
hearts must beat as one. The indi-
yidual tallies were also heart-shaped,
and tied with ribbons. For refresh
ments, coffee, sandwiches, pickles,
and assorted cakes were served at the
several tables, which were daintily
laid for the repast. The party broke
up at a little past eleven, after an eX-
change of cordial greetings with the
