have no little to do with the ad
vance prices on tobacco. There
is a significance to the combines.
And it is in these minds that good
prices would be cause for the
League to resent, but these capers
they understand, and the Grow
ers League when perfected will
carry with it as much power as
opposing combines. They will
not hold.

1T IS EASY TO TELL.

People who fail to look after their health
are like the carpenter who neglects to sharpen
his tools. People are not apt to get anxious
about their health soon enough. If you are
mot quite well" or ''half sick'' have you
ever thought that your kidneys may be the
cause of your sickness
1t is easy TO tell by setting aside your urine
for twenty-four hours a sediment or settling
indicates an unhealthy condition of the
kidneys. When urine stains linen it is
evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent
desire to %urinate, scanty supply, pain or dull
ache in the back is also convincing proof
that the kidneys and bladder are ont of order.
There is satisfaction in knowing that the
great remedy DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, full
fills every wish in relieving weak or diseased
kidneys and all forms of bladder and urinary
troubles. Not only does Swamp-Root give
new life and activity to the kidneys-the cause
of trouble, but by treating the kidneys it acts
as a tonic for the entire constitution. If you
need a medicine take Swamp-Root-i cures.
Sold by druggists, price fifty cents and one
dollar, or by sending your address and the
name of this paper to DR.. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, N. y, you may have a sample
bottle of this great discovery sent to you free

AUSTRALIAN TORRIDITY.
Alarming Climatic Conditions in
Great Britain's Great Colony.
THERMOMETER REGISTERS 100.

In Many Instances Work Is Out of the
Question and sleep Impossible-An
Appalling Sewer Gas Calamity in
Observation-Disclosures Asphyxiated.
Vancouver, BIC, Feb. 1.-The steamer
Warrimoo, just arrived from Australia,
brings news of appalling climatic con-
ditions which have been prevailing in
many sections of Australia. The pros
trations from les are so numerous
that the condition of affairs in large
cities Is alarming. In a great many in
stances work is out of the question
and sleep impossible. kilograms show
that the same conditions prevail all
over the colonies. The thermometer
during the heat of the day averages
about 1862 in the shade, n in a long list
of towns the lowest figure found is
10. In the sun IL is 100, so 1t is impos-
sible to work at midday. The heat
has caused numerous fires from spon-
taneous combustion, n the houses are
so baked during the day that in the
worst section the residents sleep in
gardens and on roofs. The total fire
damage will amount to millions of
pounds. In Victoria colony 100, 900 acres
of crops have been destroyed, and in
other colonies many houses and barns
nave been burned.
The Warrimoo brings news of a Sc
we're accident in Melbourne, in which
many lives were lost. Inspector Mosep,
of the city board of works, and a gang
of men ven down to investigate a sewer.
A tardy workman who followed them
came back saying that Mosep n all
the gang had been overcome by gas.
Hundreds of citizens crowded around
the vent hole. but none dare attempt to
&c to the rescue, though they knew the
men were dying beneath their feet. The
sewer region where the men were en-
closed was flooded by the fire depart
ment, but the pressure was so strong
that it was impossible to unfasten the
vent holes, and the gas was let off by
means of a siphon. Divers were then
secured, who finally brought the bodies
of all the men to the surface. Many of
them had families, and all were young
men.

OHIO'S ALLEGED BRIBERY.
Majority and Minority Reports win
BE Presented.

Majority and Minority Reports VIII
BE Presented.
Columbus, Fol. THE investigation
into the alleged attempt to bride Repre-
sentative Otis to vote for Senator Han
ma during the late senatorial contest is
rapidly drawing to an end. The COM
mittee held a brief session after the SEN
ate adjourned last evening. Attorney
T. G.. Campbell was the only witness
examined. He vas recalled for the pur-
pose of allowing Senators Robertson
and Garfield, who were not present last
Friday, when Mr.. Campbell was on the
stand, to question him. Neither of the
senator's, however, asked a question,
and the only queries were made by
Chairman Burke.
Mr.. Campbell told of his personal re-
lations toward Otis. He said he had
frequently acted as attorney for Otis,
and always considered Otis a straight
forward and honest man. He said Otis
had always been a sort Of mild Repub-
lican. Campbell said he did not see
how Otis could have voted for Hanna,
as Otis was a member of a free silver
club. Campbell said he had always
been on friendly terms with Senator
Hanna. He claimed he had been a sup
porter of Hanna until after the latter's
position IN the money question had
been made known after his appoint
ment to the senate Then he had rather
drifted away from the Senator politi-
cally. Campbell claimed he had been
a supporter of Mckinley in the presi-
Dental campaign on account of his
views on the tariff.
1t is believed the committee will COM
plete its work this week., and two re-
ports will he submitted. Senator Gar
field will probably submit a minority
report, while Chairman Burke will sub
init the report for the majority.

WHO ROBBED THE STATE.


FROM DennSN CapitOl.
Harrisburg, Feb. 1.-State Librarian
William II. Egle has submitted his re-
port for 1897, in which he states there
are 34,535 volumes in the state library,
including duplicates Of state documents.
DIR. Egle suggests that the next legis-
lature introduce the system of tray
cling libraries into the state library
work. He stat IS that ~ libraries, some
with branches, have been established
under the library act of June 2S, 1895.
The report commends =. A. b. Widener,
of Philadelphia, for his generosity in
presenting his magnificent residence in
hat city to be used as a branch Of the
public library.
DR.. Egle claims thai portraits of
George Washington, Thomas Wharton
and Benjamin Franklin, owned by the
state, have disappeared. 1t is known
to the officials of the Historical So
ciety of Pennsylvania, says DR.. Egle,
that a prominent citizen of Philadelphia
has the portrait of Franklin, which he
b~equeathed to the commonwealth.
Copies of these portraits were some
years ago placed in the frames and the
originals taken by persons who had no
right to them. DR.. Egle thinks an eff
fort should also be made to recover the
first American flag unfurled in British
water during the revolutionary war,
and the Stars and Stripes raised on the
citadel of Mexico upon it's capture, both
of which formerly belonged to the state,
and ave mysteriously disappeared.

NO SLEEP FOR THREE MONTHS.
One Cause of slespleEsness That Can be
Readily Overcome.

Mr.. VIM. Handschu of 46th St, Cotton
Alley, Pittsburg, Pa, expresses himself as
follows regarding the new remedy for that
common and obstinate disease, piles 81
with piles that for three months got no
regular sleep; | became completely Frustrated,
the doctors did me no good my brother told
me of the new remedy for piles, the Pyramid
Pile Cure / purchased from my druggist
three 80 cent boxes and they completely cured
me. l am once more at my work and but for
this excellent medicine | should be on my
back. take great pleasure in writing this
letter because so many people are sufferers
nom this trouble who like myself did not
know where to look for a permanent. reliable
safe cure.
Experience with the Pyramid Pile Cure in
the past three years has demonstrated to the
medical profession, as well as to thousands of
sufferers from piles, that it is the safest and
most ~effectual pile cure ever offered to the
public, containing no opiates or poisons of
any kind, painless and convenient to handle
and being sold by druggists at so cents and 81
per box, is within the reach of every sufferer.
Very frequently two or three boxes have
made a complete cure of chronic cases that
had not yielded to other remedy for years.
There is scarcely a disease more aggra-
waiting and obstinate to cure than the various
forms of piles and it is a common practice to
use ointments, salves and similar preparations
containing dangerous poisons to remove the
trouble. The Pyramid has superseded all of
these Intellectual remedies and no one suffering
with any rectal trouble will make any mis-
take in giving the Pyramid q trial.
If in doubt as to the nature Of your trouble
send to the Pyramid Drug Co., Marshall,
Mich, for a valuable little book on piles,
describing all forms of the disease and de
scribing the method of cure.
Any druggist can furnish the Pyramid Pile
Cure as it is the best known and most popular
remedy for piles and if you ask him he can
doubtless refer you to many people in your
vicinity who have been cured completely by

London, Feb. 1t is announced on
the best authority hat the talk of an
Anglo-Japanese plan of campaign in
certain eventualities is unfounded. No
such matter has occupied the atten-
tion of the statesmen Of the two coun-
tries, and no agreement exists between
England and Japan except the common
desire to secure the free development
of trade in China. The Russian fleet,
according to the same authority, is only
al Port Arthur for winter quarters,
nd the statements as to a Russian
occupation are unfounded.

A Clever Trick.

1t certainly looks like it, but there is really
no trick about it. Anybody can try it who
has lame back and weak kidneys, malaria or
nervous troubles. We mean he can cure
himself right away by taking Electric Bit
tiers. This medicine tones up the whole
system, acts as a stimulant TO the liver and
kidneys, is blood purifier and nerve tonic.
1t cures constipation, headache, f%ainting
spells, sleeplessness and melancholy. 1t is
purely vegetable, a mild laxative, and re-
stores the system TO its natural vigor. Try
Electric Bitters and be convinced that they
are a miracle worker. Every bottle guaran-
teed. Only SOC. a bottle at A. Wasley's drug
store.
