TO BE INTERNATIONAL

Chicago, March 4.-The Daily News
says: A financial corporation to be
known as the International American
Bank, with branches throughout this
country, Cuba and South America and
with offices in London and possibly
Paris, will soon be doing business on
capital stock of $25, 900 900.
Private adviceS from Washington to
certain western organizers of the pro-
ject indicate that the senate and house
committees on foreign relations will re-
port favorably on bill introduced in
the senate by Senator Foraker to carry
into effect a plan to create an assOcia-
ton to be known as the International
American Bank. The scheme is of in
ternatiOna1 Importance. The passage
of the bill, which it is said favorable
committee reports make assured, will
imply that among other important fea-
lures of the measures provisions, the
United States and the South American
countries will no longer be dependent
upon European banks for monetary
transactions on the western hemisphere
south of the Canadian line.
The International American Bank,
while it will slightly emulate such COM
panies as the Credit LyOnnaise will
ramify for more and be infinitely broad
er in its methods than the French es-
Establishment. The headquarters of the
International will be in Washington
and New York. simultaneously there
will be founded at least eight branches
in this country-to be located in Chi
cagO, Baltimore, Pittsburg, New Or
leans, Minneapolis, Denver, St. Louis
and San Francisco and one in each of
the capitals of the South American
countries. Twelve commissioners have
been designated to receive subscriptions
to the capital stock. The commission
consists of John J. Mitchell, Samuel
Hill, T Jefferson Coolidge, Henry w.
Cannon, Theodore Q. Search, William
Barbour, John Cassels, Edwin J. Ber-
wind, John I. Waterbury, Charles r.
Flint, Grant B. SchIey and William H.

CHECK FOR ONE CENT.
Lots of Red Tape Necessary in This
Case to Collect Unpaid Postage
on a Letter.

NeWburg, March 4.-POstmaster Nc
Croskery owns a check on the National
bank of Newburg for the sum of one
cent.
And this is how he became possessor
of it; A drop letter in the Newburg
postofice,, to go to a person in another
state, had on it a one cent stamp in
stead of a two cent stamp. The person
to whom the letter was addressed re-
ceived a letter from Postmaster Nc
CrOskery, which informed him of the
holding of the letter in accordance with
cent postage
In response the person advised sent a
money order for one cent through the
Postal Telegraph company, and wired
the postmaster that he had sent 1.-THE
postmaster then sent the letter on to
the person to whom it was addressed.
At the telegraph Office the one cent was
refused until the postmaster called in
friend to Identify him. This he did, and
then a check for one cent on the New
burg National bank was made to the
order of the postmaster, and the person
called in to identify him signed both the
telegraph book and the check before it
was delivered to Postmaster McCrOs-
kerry.
The check will be framed as a Curl
osity and kept to show the red tape"
now necessary to do business. The re-
ceiver of the letter expended $1.25 for
telegraphing and the money order to
get the letter, and all because the send
er neglected to put on a two cent stamp
instead of one cent stamp.

EVEN PAUPERS KICK.
No One Gets so Miserable That He
Hasn't Some Spirit to Complain.


Tom Wallace, a blind man who was
sent to the poor farm on the 18th Of
October 1892 has turned up with the
first spring kick and he wants it reg
istered. Wallace says that the food
furnished by J. E. Taylor, manager Of
the poor farm, is positively not
wholesome or fit to eat. He says that
the butter that is given the inmates is
strong, and he had piece in small
tin can which he yished to show to per
sons who doubted. He stated that he
put the butter in the can the day it was
served on the table which was six
weeks ago. The butter, he said, could
have grown no stronger as the can had
been covered all the time. The butter
was very strong and Wallace had trou-
BILE in keeping the cover on-but butter
six weeks old is not a fair sample.
Wallace states that the institution has
eight cows but that the milk is given
away and that the inmates do not get
any of it and instead of making butter
from it the butter is bought.
He also states that Manager Taylor
gives away vegetables that should be
cooked for the inmates and that some
of them do not get any sugar in their
coffee and that some who are espec-
tally favored do. Wallace wants the
matter investigated and extends an in
vitation to those who do not believe it
to make a visit to the farm. Wallace
makes chains out of hair for an occupa-
ton and sells them

Kidney Troubles Ended.
DEATH FROM KIDNEY DISEASES
A THING OF THE PAST.
John Morrow Has Produced in Nor
rows Kidneoids an Infallible Cure
for All Disorders of Those
Organs.

In the progress OF medical science and
Its applications have so far advanced
during the century, the most eminent
specialists are of the opinion that thirty
years from now will find no disease in
durable. This being So and we have no
reason to dispute it, as all experience
and thought demonstrates the feasibil-
aty Of such progress in medicine, we are
Verging upon a revelation, that will
show US, if not really aStonish, the true
relation of all bodily organisms to each
other. All medical discoveries, however,
cannot conquer death, but they will give
the assurance that if everyone takes ad-
vantage of the means to heal diseases,
old age will be the only thing that ma
ture can use to remove US from our
present existence.
Among those who have made progress
On medicine, no one will stand out more
prominently than that renowned chem
list, John Morrow, of Springfield, Ohio,
the discoverer of MOrrOw'S KidneOtds,
the only remedy, that will cure all dis
eases of the kidneys-recent or long
standing, acute or chronic.
Pains in the back or lOins, sick head
ache, uneasiness of the stomach, chilli
ness, loss of strength and energy, etc,
are some of the first symptoms OF kidney
trouble. MOrrow's Kidneoids, taken at
the very first, will give almost instant
relief. If the ailment is allowed to gain
ground, of course it will require a longer
treatment with Kidneoids. MOrrOw's
Kidneoids will not work mira

of a doubt all kidney disorders. and
make the kidneys sound and useful as
they were when in their original per-
feet health.
AS long as the world stands and man
kind is amenable to natures laws and
suffers from disease - seemingly his
birthright - Morrow's KidneOidS Will
hold a pre-eminent place in Materia
Medica- Not even Antitoxin, the re-
markab1e cure for diptheria, has so
great hold upon a grateful public as
Morrow's Kidneoids.
ATorrow's Kidneoids are now on sale
everywhere at so cents a box, or six
boxes for 81 so. KidneOids are always
put up in yellow tablet form; none are
genuine otherwise. If you cannot get
them Of your dealer, will be sent post
paid by the Herb Medicine Co, Spring
