HOW TO FIND OUT

CFill bottle or common water glass
with urine and let it stand twenty. y.four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
a diseased condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is positive
evidence of kidney trouble. Too fre-
quent desire to urinate or pain in the
back, is also convincing proof that the
kidneys and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney reme-
dy, fulfills every wish in relieving pain
in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. 1t
corrects inability to hold urine anu
scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef-
fects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night TO urin-
ate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp Root is soon realized,
1t stands the highest for it's most Won

matrimony is that he himself is so hap
PLY married. He has n young and
beautiful wife, whom he adores, and, like
the generous fellow he is, re wants other
people to taste the sweets Of connubial
bliss. Mr.: Auer is in full sympathy
with her husband and is an invaluable
aid in his matchmaking projects.
But Mr.. Auer's methods are the most
interesting feature Of the enterprise.
Out on the shore Of Lake Pewaukee,
which is 80 miles from Milwaukee, he
owns lordly estate of many acres,
which goes by the undignified name OF
"The Shacks. " The name was original
ly applied to the little log shooting box
and hunters lodge which still stand on
the lake shore, but since it was chris
tened dozen or ore cystic buildings
have been added u'.tjl there is room for
all the many guest who flock to enjoy
the wide open hospitality which is dis
pensed there summer and winter.
1t is at these gatherings that General
Auer manages to throw together the
various young women and eligible bach
elors whom he has picked out as candi-
dates for matrimOny. He manages these
little campaigns with great deal Of
finesse, never allowing his victims to
suspect his purpose until they are mex
tricably enmeshed in Cupid's snares.
With shrewd tact he pairs them off on
fishing and boating trips, sees that they
sit together in the iceboat and arranges
that the proper persons may have plen-
ty Of opportunity for being together,
looking into each others eyes and that
sort of thing. In vain does the most
case hardened old bachelor fight to re-
tain his independence against such
wiles as these.
After ALL" says he, "matchmak-
ing is science which can be mastered
by any one who will take the trouble to
observe human nature, and it ought to
be studied by every happily married
man or woman. Indeed, consider il
little less than the duty Of such people
to effect just as many more such part
nerships among the members Of the So
ciety in which they move as possible. y
In order that there shall be no hitch
on account of expense General Auer &C.
| casionally gives as a wedding present a
deed to one of the many cozy little
houses which he owns in Milwaukee,
Sometimes he fills up the coal bins and
sends cases of wine and beer around.
On almost every occasion he builds lit

presents it, with sailing yacht, to the
happy couple, There are nearlya dozen
Of these cottages on the lake front near
"The Shacks" now, and the street on
which it faces has been appropriately
named Honeymoon row.
Thus far General Auer has made only
one match that could be called some
what unfortunate. He was the means
of bringing together Margaret Mather
and young Gustav Pabst, which part
nership has been since dissolved. How
ever, that was before General Auer was
married himself, and his mistake must
be put down to ineXperience.
General Auer gets his military title
from having been national guard
officer. He has been out of the militia
for some time, but still preserves his
military bearing and the knack of max
ing men, especially bachelors, do just

piciou that most people will regard ;. b.
Nickum of I.Ognnsport, Ind, who claims
to have invented perpetual light which
costs nothing to Keep going and once light
ed will keep on going forever.
Even the undaunted Tesla, who an
nounccs now miracles with periodical reg

tling claim than this According to the re-
ports, this new light apparently comes
from chemicals which arn inclosed in d
glass globe from which the air has beer
exhausted. The globe is entirely detached
and may be carried about, set down on g
table or hung up anywhere, yet the light
glows on. Night and day it is there "a!
long as the glass Is unbroken.
II Mr.. NiCkum is only fraud or
crank, he is most daring one. If he real
ly has invented such light, he is on tn,
threshold of undying fame. Think wha

But it is not at all certain that this Mr.

ders So Inventor Nickum has let into his
workshop two or three men who say they
have seen the new light. One Of these is
the landlord of the building in which he
lives and works, a man who has aided him
In financial way. Another Is q nearby
grocer who has also helped the inventor
and the third Is the editor of Logansport
newspaper.
Not a great deal Is known about Nickum
in the place where he lives. lie was born,
strangely enough, in Darkc county, O.,
about 40 years ago. As "A boy he lived foI
u time in Kansas, and then ho moved to
Indiana, where he has lived ever since.
He has been twice married, but he was
made a widower for the second time when
he was only 23, and has no children.
About six years ago he settled in Logans
port and has supported himself by making
models and doing mechanical repairing,
Since his residence in Logansport he has
lived the life of Toclusc, seldom leaving
his quarters and rarely being seen on the
streets. According to the story which i:
told Of the alleged discovery of the new
light, it was made accidentally about three
years ago. NiCkum was working on al
order for half dozen models of the solar
system when he became convinced thai
the theory of gravitation was wholly
wrong This set HIM to thinking and ex
perimenting and in the midst of his in
vestigations he stumbled upon the princi
ple of the new light. Since then he hal
been working night and day to perfect it
jealousy he has guarded his secret. Tht
doors and windows of his laboratory havt
been fitted with an elaborate system o
locks and bolts, and of late he has the en-
trance to the stairs leading to his quarters
guarded by relative who has come OF
from Kansas for the purpose, His brother
has also been summoned from the sam,
state TO take charge of the inventors busi
ness interests Here is what Mr.. John w
Barre, the Logansport editor, has to say o
his visit to the secret workshop:
81 saw the light produced by Mr.. Nick
um. 1t was in the shape of sphere OF glass
inside of which was the light. The LAM
was not connected with wires or otherwis
with outside objects that might have pro
duoed light. -
But Mr., Nickum pretends to pose, anC
here is something that smacks of Oharla
tanism, TO be not only the inventor of
perpetual light but the discoverer of en-
tirely new principles OF science which up
set all existing theories, including the Law
of gravitation, Mr., Nickum fatty denie
the existence OF any such force. He 4

REVIVED HIS RECORD.



Consul General to Montreal.
When John J.. Bittinger, now con-
sui general to Montreal, was collector
of internal revenues at st. Joseph, Mo-,
under President Grant, an incident hap.
pened which is not generally mentioned
in the published biographical sketches
of this prominent Republican politician.
It was chiefly because the story of this
incident was revived that Major Bittin
ger was blackballed by the members Of
the St. James club, the swell social or
ganization of the Canadian metropolis.
The incident consisted in the conviction
Of Major Bittinger for malfeasaDce in
office because his deputy had become a
defaulter during his absence. Major
Bittinger was pardoned Immediately
after the sentence was imposed An un-
fortunate sentiment ascribed to him in
a recent interview may have had some
thing to do with the blackballing.
The consul general is now Ga years
old, and for many years has been po-
litical leader in his state. He was long
identified with what is known as the
anti .Filley faction. He served for eight
years in the legislature.
Major Bittinger has also had long
and successful career in journalism. Ii
| 1862 he purchased a half interest in the
st. Joseph Herald, became its manag

ing editor, and soon made the paper one
of the most powerful and influential
journals in the west. In 1881 he went
on the staff Of the Kansas City Journal
as managing editor, holding that posi-
tion until 1885, when he resigned to
make tour of Europe He travelled un-
til 1889, writing a series Of interesting
letters from abroad, and then returned
to resume control of the St, Joseph Her
aid. He was the first temporary pres
ident of the Missouri Press association,
and before his connection with The Her
aid he was interested in number Of
other newspaper enterprises. Soon after
Lincoln's Inauguration Major Bittinger
was appointed postmaster at ST. Joseph,
but he resigned the Office and volunteer
ed as private in the army. Not long
after he was commissioned major and
made aid de-camp to General Hall.
