NOT FOR EVERYTHING.

But if you have weak kidneys, bladder
trouble or distressing kidney complaint then
Swamp Root will prove to be just the remedy
you need. Too frequent desire to urinate,
scanty supply, pain or dull ache in the back
is convincing evidence that your kidneysand
bladder need dOctoring.
There is comfort in the knowledge so often
expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish
in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver,
bladder and every part of the urinary
passage. 1t corrects inability TO hold urine
and scalding pain in passing 1t, or bad effects
following use of liquor, wine or beer, and
overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to get up many times during the
night to urinate. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp. Root Is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases
If you need a medicine you should have the
best. Sold by druggists price fifty cents and
one dollar. You may have a sample bottle
and pamphlet both sent free by mail. Mention
HERALD and send your address to DR.. Klmer
& Co., Binghamton, N. Y. The propIietors

against our party. Although / have
been pictured by my adversaries in the
press Of this state as an autocrat and
plutoCrat, ! stand before my fellow
citizens of Ohio and every part of the
state ana tell them face to face it is a
lie. My whole life has proved that it is
lie, and my future life will prove that
it is a lie"
At the headquarters of the opposition
Mayor Robert Il. McKisson, of Cleve-
land, the defeated candidate for SEN
ator made the following statement for
the press:
'In the senatorial contest just closed
the question at issue has been whether
the true principles of the Republican
party should prevail or whether trusts
and monopolies should have their way.
Mr. Hanna succeeded simply because
he brought to his aid all the powerful
influences of capitalistc greed, of which
he is a clear representative. The Dem
ocrats, being in the minority, realized
that it was impossible for them to
elect any candidate of their own party.
They were therefore ready to support
any Republican who would be willing
to represent the common citizens of our
commonwealth in preference to selfish
monopolies or class interests. Mr..
Hanna has introduced into Republican
politics a policy of corrupt and lavish
use of money heretofore unknown to
our party"
Among the representatives there is
considerable agitation of a proposition
to reorganize the house by ousting
Speaker Mason and all other officers of
that body who had been elected by the

RIOTING IN HAVANA.
Army officers Lead in Attacks on
Newspaper Offices,
THEY OBJECTED TO CRITICISM.

And as a Result Invaded the Oniccs
and Destroyed Property Finally
Subdued by Their Superior Oficers.
Rioters to BE Vigorously Dealt with.
Havana, Jan. 13.-At 10 o'clock yes
terday morning about a hundred army
officers, incensed by the violent al
tacks made by some Of the local papers
on the general-in-chief and the princi-
pal officers of the Spanish army i'm
Cuba, went to the printing offices Of
the daily journals La Discussion and
Eel BeConcentrado and began smashing
the windows and destroying the print
ing outfit as well as cutting the en-
ployes. A mob of thousands followed,
shouting: Long live Spain!" Long
live the army!" Long live the volun-
teers!"
The appearance at the office Of La
Discussion of General GarriChe, acting
military commander at Havana, and
General Solano, chief of staff prevent
ed more serious outrages. These Of
ficers then proceeded to the office of Eel
Diario de la Marina, the mob shouting
meanwhile, Death to El Reconcentra-
do" and Death to Las Discussion"
But on the appearance of General Par
rado the people scattered.
An hour later large crowds of ciH-
zens appeared opposite the office of El
Diario de la Marina and began smash
ing the doors and shouting, Long live
Spain!" Long live the army" Long
live the volunteers!" The horse and in
fantry of the gendarmie dispersed the
rioters.
Order was finally established. Cen
trail park has been transformed into a
military camp. There has been great
excitement among the authorities, who
have taken all necessary precautions TO
maintain order. The troops have been
ordered into barracks.
General Solano will deal most ener-
getically with the initiators of the out
breaks. Last night the police guarded
the printing offices.
General Blanco, on the offer of their
services by the chiefs of the volunteers,
ordered the Fifth battalion to remain
last night at the palace
AS soon as the rioting began the
members of the cabinet waited upon
General BlanCO, after which they went
into prolonged session. Senor Galvez,
the premier, was present in spite of his
indisposition.
Last night groups of civilians formed
again in the Plaza de Armas in front of
the palace, shouting Long live Spain,
Long live the king" Long live the
army" Long live the volunteers, ''
Long live Weyler" and Down with
autonomy" The cavalry came up,
charged the groups and dispersed them.
The official Gazette today publishes
a decree, with special reference to the
press, prohibiting cartoons and attacks
on the army authorities as tending to
excite passions and strengthen the re-
bellion. An additional article applies
the decree to Spanish or foreign news
papers, and prohibits the circulation in
the island of such as infringe the law.

deliberation, found that the fire was
not caused by a gas explosion or by
spontaneous combustion, but was the

Something to Know.

1t may be worth something to know that
the very best medicine for restoring the tired
out nervous system to healthy vigor is Elec-
trio Bitters. This medicine is purely vege-
table, acts by giving tone to the nerve centres
in the stomach, gently stimulates the Liver
and Kidneys, and aids these organs in throw
ing off impurities in the blood. Electric
Bitters improves the appetite, aids digestion,
and is pronounced by those who have tried it
as the very best blood purifier and nerve
bottle at A. Wasley's drug store.

Guy, the founder of Guys hospital
In London, was as parsimonious in
private life as he was munificent in
public. A good story illustrative of
this Is told Of him in connection with
John Hopkins, one Of his contempor-
aries. who was nicknamed Vulture
Hopkins on account Of his rapacious
mode Of acquiring his immense wealth.
On one occasion he paid visit to Guy,
who, on Hopkins entering the room,
lighted farthing candle. Hopkins, on
being asked the object of his visit,
said: ~ have been told that you, sir,
are better versed In the prudent and
necessary art of saving than any man
living, and therefore wait on you for
lesson in frugality. 1 have always
regarded myself as an adept in this
matter. but am told you excel me-"
"Oh," replied Guy, 'is that is all you
came to talk about, we can discuss the
matter in the dark" and thereupon he
blew out the candle. Struck with this
example of economy, Hopkins acknowl-
edged that he had met his superior

How Berliners Spruce Up."

The men of Berlin have an odd habit
of brushing and >combing their hair
and whiskers in public. In the rest
nurants and cafes men pull out their
implements and spruce up while
waiting for their orders to be filled.
They do not take the trouble to leave
the table, either. In the foyers of the
Berlin theatres there are many mir
rors. Theoretically they are placed
there for the convenience of ladies. AS
q matter of fact the men are the prin-
cipal users. Five minutes before the
curtain goes up a man may be seen
standing before every mirror indus
triously using brush and comb. One
minute before tho curtain rises all
hands place brush and comb back in
their pockets, and with q well-groomed
appearance and self-satisfled smile
they march down to their seats.--Ncw

eff had left my house five minutes
later one morning not long since I
should have stepped upon seven-foot
cougar in the vestibule," said 7. F..
Drew, "a mining man from the West.
cit was not camp in the wilderness,
but my house on Pike street, Seattle,
Washington. 1t was a misty morning
when I walked out at the door to go
to my place of business. Five min
utes later I heard several shots fred
back of me in the direction of my
house. 1t was not until my return at
noon that I learned that the shots
which had heard had killed a cougar
in my doorway.
'"The beast had got lost in the fog
and wandered into the town. He was
| first seen just after I had left the
house by the motorman of an electric
car, crouching by the wayside in readi-
ness to spring at the car. The motor
man sounded the gong and cracked on
speed, and at that the cougar turned,
ran into the vestibule of my house and
crouched at the doorsill. The motor.
man hailed my neighbor, Mr.. Chaplin,
now President of leading bank, and
told him about the cougar. Chaplin
stepped back into the house, got q
Winchester rifle and shot the creature
where he lay. It was rather an ode
combination, booming city, the cleo
trio cars and cougar crouched in your
doorway, but things quite as strange
happen now and then in the towns
that spring up overnight"

An Easy Trick when You Know 1t.

Writing on "How 1 Do My Tricks, +"
in the Ladies' Home Journal, magician
Harry Kellar explains how to accom-
plish the difficult feat of blowing O
piece of cork into n bottle-a trick
that will defy every one who does not
know the only way by which it may
be done. ''Ask some one," Mr.. Kel-
lar directs, "if he thinks he can blow
small bit of cork, which you have
placed in the mouth of bottle, SO
that it will go into the bottle. Lay
the bottle on the table upon its side,
an place the bit of cork about an inch
or less inside the open end. He will
blow until he gets red in the face, and
the cork will invariably come out of
the bottle instead of going into it.
Simple reason for it, too: the direc-
ton of the air, forced by the one blow
ing, brings it against the bottom OF
the bottle. The air congresses within
the bottles walls and must find out
let, therefore is turned and forced out
at the only vent the bottle has, neces.
sarily blowing the cork out with it.
But take common lemonade straw,
place the end Of it near the cork in
the bottle neck, blow very gently
and the cork rolls in. !"
