rifle, resting it upon his left arm.
When he again raised the weapon to
shoot, the trigger caught in his watch

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, a receptacle for the urine,
and as such it is not liable to any form
of disease except by one of two ways.
The first way is from imperfect action
Of the kidneys. The second way is from
careless local treatment of other diseases

CHIEF CAESE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
news is the chief cause of bladder trOu-
bles So the womb, like the bladder
was created for one purpose. and If not
doctored too much is not liable to weak
ness or disease. except in rare cases. 1t
is situated back of and very close TO the
bladder, therefore any pain, disease or
inconvenience manifested in the kid
news. back, bladder or urinary passage
is often. by mistake, attributed TO female
weakness or womb trouble Of some sort.
The error is easily made and may be as
easily avoided. To find out correctly,
set your urine aside twenty-four hours;
sediment or settling indicates kidney or
bladder trouble. The mild and the eX-
traordinarv effect of DR.. kilmer's
Swamp-Ro the great kidney and blad-
der remedy, is soon realized. If you
need a medicine you should have the
best. At druggists fifty cents and one
dollar You may have a sample bottle
and pamphlet, both sent free by mail.

Our government is making every
preparation for war with Spain, on the
ground that the best way to prevent
trouble is to be ready for it. Con-
gress by unanimous vote has passed
bill appropriating $50,0Oo,Ooo to be
used by the President in his discre-
ton. The President expressed de-
sire for such action, and Republicans,
Democrats and Populists supported the
bill with unanimity. The money will
be spent, or as much Of it as is thought
necessary, in purchasing new war
ships, guns and ammunition, and in
making such preparations for defensive
and offensive measures as are thought
expedient. A bill has also passed
both houses of Congress providing for
two additional regiments of artillery
for manning the big coast defense
guns. A flying squadron of some of
our most effective vessels is being or
gained, and if necessary will be sent
across the Atlantic to watch the move
ments of the Spanish warships. Ev-
cry vessel in our navy, new and old,
that could be of service, is being put
in order, and ammunition and sup
plies are being concentrated at avail
able points. Shipbuilders are work
ing night and day to complete unfn-
ished vessels for our navy, and all the
navy-ysrds are as busy as they can pos
sibly be.

1t is believed that there is less prob
ability of war now than week or two
ago. The officials Of our own and the
Spanish government are acting in the
most conservative manner, and show
disposition to act fairly and honestly.
The Spanish government expressed a
desire that General Fitzhugh Lee be
recalled as consul at Havana, but when
the President announced his intention
of declining the request, and gave his
approval of General Lees course all
through the trouble, the Spanish grace
fully yielded. General Lee has said
that, regardless of personal danger, he
will continue to do his duty, which Is
to protect American interests.

THE SITUATION.

1t is three weeks since the United
States battleship Maine was blown up
in Havana harbor, and little more is
known now of the cause Of her de-
struction than was known the day 1t
occurred. The board of inquiry has
made no report yet, but is still en-
gagged in taking testimony, principally
the evidence of the divers who are still
at work on the vessel. Their labors
are slow and tedious, and thong b it
has been stated that they have found
evidence that shows the probability Of
the vessel having been exploded by
outside agencies, there has been no Of
fetal intimation that such is the case.
