How to Handle the Family Wash


The laundry work, one of the most
important Of our domestic tasks, is, as
a rule, left entirely to the management
of unframed household servants. And
being unframed. they naturally select
the most difficult way of doing what,
under proper conditions, should be easy
work. The person responsible for the
family wash should really understand a
certain amount of chemistry, in order
to preserve the coloring in different
fabrics, and to understand how to re-
move stains and various spots. To
prevent the flannels from sLrinkage
she should know the condition and
character of the fiber Of wool, and the
difference between that and the fiber
of cotton. If the coloring matter in
n colored garment is acid an alkaline
soap will dissolve or neutralize il. and
the garment will come from the wash
entirely faded. The average housewife
returns TO the laundry all articles i'm
properly Numbered, but she fails to
pin to each article a little suggestion Of
how they may be made better, with the
result that the articles are returned
again the next week in exactly the
same unsatisfactory condition.-Ladies

IF YOU ARE,
DO NOT FORGET
THREE IMPORTANT POINTS

FIRST-Go via St. Paul be-
cause the lines to that point will
afford you the very best service.
SECOND-See that the cou-
pom beyond St. Paul reads via
the Wisconsin Central because
that line makes close connections
with all the trans-continental
lines entering the Union Depot
there and its service is frst-class
in every particular.
THIRD-For information call

How To Find Out

Fill bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty four hours;
sediment or settling indicates an un-
healthy condition of the kidneys, When
urine stains linen it is evidence of kid
ney trouble. Too frequent desire to uri-
nate or pain in the back, is also convinc-
ing proof that the kidneys and bladder
are out of order.

WHAT TO DO.

There is comfort i'm the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
swamp Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfils every wish in relieving pain in the
back, kidneys. liver, bladder and every
part of the urinary passages. 1t corrects
inability Ia hold urine ana scalding pain
in passing it, or bad effects following use
of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes
that unpleasant necessity of being com
PEELED to get up many times during the
night to urinate. The mild and the ex-
traordinary effect ofSwamp- 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 tree by mail upon receipt of three
two-cent stamps to cover cost of post
age on the bottle. Mention THE YAK

The Diphtheria Situation.

The alarming spread OF diphtheria
in Wellington has resulted in move
ment 10 have tue public schools closed
until the epidemic subsidies. There
are tpreSent nine cases, and as many
suspects. -Four deaths nave resulted.
The houses where diphtheria exists
are as follows:
W. y. Anderson, west of the Fourth
ward school house. Two cases.
Chas. Welt, 40S North Blaine street.
One case.
W J, Mumford, in the Fourth ward.
One case.
NJ D Williams, APO North f street.
One case.

G streets. One case.
W. NJ. jackson, North Jefferson
avenue. One case.
Mrs. E. Z. Wiudell, North g street.
One case.
Tom Jordan (colored) corner OF
Blaine and Tenth streets. One case.
Relative to the question of closing
the schools, people differ as TO It's
effectiveness in abating the disease.
ShuDld the schools close, aud the
children be allowed to leave theiI
homes, no good would result. As it
is, the school authorities are carefully
watching the disease, and as soon as
scholars are exposed, they are kept
out of school.
Whether or not the schools should
be closed, parents should exercise
great precautien in keeping their
children away from Guaranteed dis
tricts and from assOciating with chill.
dren who have been exposed. The
disease has reached an alarming stage
and nothing should be left undOne tC
stamp it out.

Big Fire In Caldwell,

Fire broke out 10 Biddy O'Conner's
millinery slOre on the corner opposite
the Leland hotel at Caldwell Tuesday

two frame store buildings and dam
aged Eli Ingham's grocery store.
Miss O'COnner lost all OF her possess
siOns, and everything in c. W. Collins

totally destitute. The fire is sup
posed to have started from gasoline

Within few minutes after smoke
was seen issuing from the kitchen,
the entire building was IN flames.
The Ore department did excellent
service but as unable TO save the
two buildings. By hard work they

The commissioners have been re-.
ceiviDg a salary Of $500 per annum
aud the law provides that they can
not be paid any more no matter how
much work they may do. Facts and
dgures are worth more than any of
Andy'S statements and here they are.
The expenditures of the county for
1898 were Sj2, 456, A: 1894, s56,476 81;
1895, SAT, 44O,94; 1896 $50, DOS. 49,; 1897,
s3l,5SS.56 and 1898 will be less than
$4,000.
Do you think, taxpayers, that a
board of commissioners that has saved
you $4,000 in three years would rob
you in building a Jail or would ask
you to build a Jail if it were not
needed and for the best interests of
the county?
The fact is, that the present board
of county commissioners is persona
non grata to Richards. Two of them
are Populists and the Republican, D.
A. Espy, will not bow to his behests,
hence is under the ban OF disfavor
with him. If the board was consti.
tuted differently Andy would be for
the Jail proposition. He wants the
Jail to be built under Republican d.
rectiOn, and that of his kind. The
taxpayers need not be told that they
will get more for their money if they
build bcEv.e that state OF affairs
comes around.

Wheat Testing.

Recently a farmer took a load of wheat
to one of our markets and the grain buy
er applied his little brass tester and an
nounced that the test was 81 TBS to the
bushel. The farmer was not satisfied
and he took half bushel measure and
weighed bushel and it weighed 5o4 tbs.
Mr.. ]. W. Heiedrickson, trustee of Mich
igan township, Indiana, was visiting in
the town when this incident occurred and
said that the people of Indiana had learn
ed that this mode of testing wheat was a
fraud and had enacted law prohibiting
the use of any such device for testing
grain and furnished Judge Ray, candi-

ed this state by the United States, and
the use Of any fractional part of said

purpose will be violation of this section.
SEC. At shall be unlawful to use

Of testing the weight, grade, milling or

Mr.. Lawrence is the attorney for the
Hunter Milling Company and of course
is opposed to any such measure as the
above. From the best information OBJ
tainable upon this question it seems to
be certain that in hauling grain to mark
ct the best and heaviest grain gets to the
bottom of the wagon and that the brass
tester gets the chaff and light grain from
the top and that the matter can be and is
frequently so manipulated that the farm
er is beaten out Of from 2 TBS to TBS on
the bushel in the grade. -
