Brook Trout for Our Streams.

In the last issue of the DeidaOdre
County Neacs is write-up of the gov
ernment fish hatchery at that place
and its distribution of fish for this year.
Among other things it says:
"Most of the present supply of lake
trout will be planted in Spirit Lake,
Okoboji, Clear Lake and Storm Lake,
while the brook trout will be literally
placed in Spring Branch and trout
streams in the northeastern part of the
state, in the vicinity of Lansing aud
Decorah. There are several very fine
trout streams in this section of the
state and with proper protection the
cOnsignments which will be put into
them will soon furnish excellent sport
for the disciples of Walton. In the
course of month or so the lake trout
will be ready for distribution and will
be transported in one of the govern
ment's own cars provided for this pur-
pose. AS soon as the young trout are
out of the way, bass and crappie hatch
ing will occupy the attention of the
Manchester station.

The farmers of the United States
ought to be very well satisfied with
the FIRST years developments under
President Mckinley. Despite the
Democratic assertions that the adop-
ton of protective tariff would "de-
stroy our foreign markets." the sales Of
agricultural products abroad in the
calendar year 1897 were $3.50, ,323 ,514,
which is the largest sum ever realized
by the farmers of the United States
from sales of their products to other
parts of the world, the next highest be-
ing in the last year of President Harri-
sons administration, 1892, when the
expectation of farm products amounted
to SIP 2,539, 1872. The moment Presi-
dent Cleveland and his free trade con-
gress came upon the scene of action,
1898, there was dropin the exporta-
ton of farm products amounting that
year to S6l9, 1885, ,633; in 1894 to only
1913, 1851, ,474; in 1895 only S545, ,1l5, ,SSl,
and i'm 1896, S664 ,962 sos.

watched and followed from one town
to another when he has been seen dis
playing diamonds to customer and his
wares are taken from him by force.
But Superintendent Murray of the Pin
kerton agency had to think long while
before he could recall a case of recent
occurrence. That was an accident in
Iowa where thieves assaulted and
robbed a drummer and got away with
his samples but they were captured and
all the goods were recovered. A rob-
berry of like nature occurred at the
Palmer house in this city a few years
ago in which the thief got 900 worth
of jewelry, but he. too, was captured.
Expert diamond thieves as rule are
known to the detectives. A robbery of
this nature would not be undertaken by
novice and it requires smart man
to entice the salesman to a place where
he can be slugged and robbed under
pretense of introducing a customer or
something of the sort Therefore when
diamond robbery is reported the de-
tective agency, having a knowledge of
the whereabouts of the men most La
bic TO suspicion, whether in jail or out
OF it, have line" on whom to go after,
and they usually land their man. All
the work, so far as the firm sustaining
the loss is concerned, is conducted
through the union headquarters in New
York, every jeweler in the association
standing his pro rata of the cost, since
an injury to one is the concern of all.
A diamond salesman, of course, is
obliged to exercise considerable caution
in the display of his goods and does not
go out of his way to explain to hotel
loungers that he has $4,000 worth of
goods in his possession. But the arti-
fees resorted to by the employees of vari-
Gus houses to conceal the identity of
their samples are matters which the
jewelers. consider the general public has
no right to know, and especially that
portion of the public which looks lightly
upon the commandment, Thou shalt
not covet thy neighbor's goods.

Kidney and Bladder Troubles Quickly Cured.
You May Have Sample Bottle of the Great Discovery,
DR.. Kimsr's Swan o-Roo Sent Free by Mail.

Men and women doctor their troubles
so often without benefit, that they get
discouraged and skeptical. In most
such cases serious mistakes are made
in dostoring and in not knowing what
our trouble is or what makes us sick.
The unmistakable evidences of kidney
trouble are pain or dull ache in the
back. too frequent desire to pass water,
scanty supply, smarting irritation. AS
kidney disease advances the face looks
sallow or pale, puffs or dark circles un-
der the eyes, feet swell and sometimes
the heart acts badly. Should further
evidence be needed to find out the
cause of sickness, then set urine aside
for twenty-four hours; If there is a
sediment or ssttling it is also convlnc-
ing proof that our kidneys and bladder
need doctoring. A fact often over
looked. is that women suffer as much
from kidney and bladder trouble as
men do.
DR.. Kilmers Swamp Root is the dis
covery of the eminent physician and
scientist and is not recommended for

necessity of being compelled to get up

this great remedy is soon realized. 1t

cures. Sold by druggists, price fifty

successful is Swamp-Root in quickly
curing even the most distressing cases,
