ONE OF TWO WAYS.

Inc bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, 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

CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid

So the womb like the bladder, was Great

PIERCE AT his home in Ellsworth this
morning, Jan. p, 1898, Judge Perry d.
Pierce, aged II years.
Judge Pierce, whose activities for the
past forty -four years have been intimate
" concerned with the towns of Prescott
and Ellsworth and with Pierce county in
general, was an attorney of much native
ability public spirited citizen and a
genial companion.
He was born at North Harpersfeld, \.
Y, in 1921 Up to the age Of sixteen
years, when he began to study law in the
office of Abraham Becker, he enjoyed
life on a farm Later he studied law at
a college near Albany and was admitted
to the Bar
With his father and brothers he came
west in 1854 and took up land in the dis
trict since known as Pierce Valley. In
the early days when Prescott was the
county seat he practiced his profession in
that city. When Ellsworth secured tie
distinction of being head of the county,
he was elected to the Office of county
Judge, and accordingly took up his resi-
dence in the town that has since been
his home For two successive terms he
served his county as Judge, impartially
and well, thereby winning the cordial
esteem Of his constituency. His physic-
al makeup was Of hale and stalwart
type. and his jovial disposition made him
very conpanionabe. He was a worthy
example of the professional pioneer.
His wife and daughter, Mrs Walsing-
ham, and brother in the East, survive
him.

noon at 2 O'clock

pigeons cannot be found.

Fifty years ago the people Of this
vicinity were accustomed. during the
summer months, and before sunset Of
each day. to see immense flocks of
pigeons flying towards the Bark River
or Hebron woods, where they found a
roasting place for the night. These
birds could be seen in lines, extend
ing from east to west, as far as the
eye could reach In either direction,
and as they disappeared 10 the east,
Others came into view in the west,
thus making a continuous flock for an
hour or more. In the morning they
might be seen in broken fiocks max
ing their way back into the oak open
ings, where they were feeding during
the day. 1t would be impossible to
give any correct estimate of the vast
mum bers of pigeons making their
appearance every day. IL does not
seem possible that they ever could be
exterminated, but the statement is
made that not a single specimen now
exists. After corresponding extensive

At the meeting Of the Prison con-
gresS, the Rev. Samuel &, Smith Of
st Paul spoke on Crime in Its Rela-
tion to Economies He said that
statistics taken in England show that
there is more crime during years OF
prosperity than in times of business
d preston, which he inferred was due
TO the fact that in good times there
is more drunkenness and dissipation.
His observation had also taught him
that there is more crime among the
people Of advanced nations than IN
others. Socialism. in his opinion, Is
the worst breeder Of crime in the
world, as it breaks down the struggle
for personal achievement and is the
millennium Of the lazy man. Educa-
tion or the right sort is a preventive
of crime. but it must begin by teach
ing the subject the necessity Of earn
ing his daily bread.
