DO 1T YOURSELF.

You can tell just as well as physician
whether your kidneys are diseased or healthy.
The way to do is TO take a bottle or glass tum-
bier, and fill it with urine. If there is a
sediment--a powder-like substance--at the
bottom after standing day and night, there
is something wrong with the kidneys. An
other sure sign of disease is a desire to urinate
often, and still another sign is PAIN in the
back If urine stains linen, there is no doubt
that the kidneys are affected.
Any and all diseases of the kidneys, liver,
bladder and of the urinary passages and con
stipation of the bowels are cured by Dr.
David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy. There
is no question about its being the best and
surest medicine in the world for such troubles
1t quickly relieves and cures inability to hold
urine, and people, young or old, who take il
are not compelled to get up number OF
times during the night. For putting an end
to that scalding pain experienced in passing
urine, nothing is so good as DIR. David Ken
ncd's Favorite Remedy. 1t corrects the bad
effects of whiskey and beer; is pleasant tC
the taste, and does not seem to he medicine
at all. Diseases of the kidneys and bladder
often require the use of instruments to pusl
back the sandy matter so the urine can b,
voided. In such cases Favorite Remedy
should be taken without further delay or the
disease may prove fatal. 1t is sold for one
dollar a bottle at all drug stores 1t is wei
worth many times its price.

WHAT 1T INDICATES

Nothing so interferes with ones plans or
ambition like sickness or poor health. Have
you ever thought that your kidneys may be the
cause of your sickness2 You can easily find
out by setting aside your urine for twenty -four
hours a sediment or settling indicates an un-
healthy condition of the kidneys. When urine
stains linen it is evidence of kidney trouble.
Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the
back, iSalso convincing proof that the kidneys
and bladder are out of order.
1t is a source of comfort to know that DIR.
Kilmer's Swamp Root is the great remedy for
all kidney and bladder complaints. 1t relieves
pain, stitch or dull aching in the back, difficult
or painful urination, frequent desire to urinate,
scalding or pain in passing it, and quickly
overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to get up many times during the
night. The mild and extraordinary effect o
| Swamp-Root is soon realized, Its action il
gentle, yet immediate, the relief speedy anc
the cures permanent. At druggists fifty cents
and one dollar. You may have a sample bottle
and pamphlet, both sent free by mail upoI

THE enforcement of the Alien Tax
law is still giving the County Com
missioners of this state trouble, and
the end will not be reached until the
Supreme Court passes upon the
matter The Commissioners of this
county received n communication
from the Commissioners of Blair
county relative to the matter. The
writer's state that they propose ap-
pealing from "A decision of the Court
Of Common Pleas of Blair county re-
straining them from collecting the
alien tax under the act of June 10,
1897. They suggest that all counties
where aliens are employed are inter
ested in this appeal, which will cost
about $3.50, and SchuylIIill county is
asked to contribute $50. The Com
missioners decline to go into the

force the law, but in this they have
not been very successful, as very

DOING GOOD EVERYWHERE.
A Medical Discovery that Efectually Cures
Piles IN Every Form.

For many years physicians have expert
mented in vain, seeking a remedy which
would effectually cure piles and other rectal
troubles, without resorting to a surgical oper-
alton. Many remedies were found. to give
temporary relief, but none could be depended
upon to make a lasting, satisfactory cure.
Within a recent period, however, new
remedy, the Pyramid Pile Cure, has been re-
peatedy tested in hundreds of cases and with
highly satisfactory results.
The first effect of the Pyramid Pile Cure is
to instantly remove the pain and irritation
generally present and from that time on the
cure rapidly progresses and before the patient
is hardly aware of it he is entirely cured,
The remedy seems to act directly on the
nerves and blood vessles of the parts affected
as it comes into direct contact with them and
sets up healthy action, which i'll a perfectly
natural way brings the parts to their normal
condition.
The remedy does its work without any
pain or Inconvenience to the sufferer and is
Justly considered one of the most meritorious
discoveries of modern medicine.
Piles is one of the most annoying and often
times dangerous diseases with which humanity
is afflicted. If neglected it frequently develops
into iistula or some equally fatal or incurablC
trouble, whereas by the timely use of this
simple but effective remedy no one need suffer
single day from any form of piles unless
they want to.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is perfectly harm
less, containing no mineral poisons and is alsC
very reasonable in price, costing but so cents
package. 1t is sold in drug stores every
where. The manufacturers of the remedy
are the Pyramid Drug Co., of Marshall Mich
who have placed this excellent preparation
before the public only after giving it thorough
and repeated tests in the hands of reputabl,
physicians. The results in hundreds of case
have convinced us that it will not disappoin
you.

A TEXAS STREET DUEL.

wounded by stray Bullets.

The Principals Dying and Three o theirs
wounded by Stray Bullets.
Waco Tex, April 2.-W. c. Brann,
editor of The Iconoclast, and Captain
M. II. Davis met and fought a revolver
duel last evening. The men met on
South Fourth street in front of the
Cotton Belt ticket Office, and after eX
changing a few words began firing.
When the battle was over Brann was
found to be shot in the left lung and in
both feet. Davis was shot through the
right lung and through both arms. The
surgeons say both men are likely to
die.
Trouble has been existing between
the men for a year, and when they met
last evening they lost no time in get
seconds were occupied in the shooting,
at the end of which Brann and Davis
lay bleeding and w. H. Ward, Brann's
business partner, was shot through the
right hand, the bones being shattered.
A wild bullet hit Motorman Kennedy
in the knee Another wild bullet hit
Eugene Kepler in the foot. Kepler and
his partner, Prince, are touring the
world on a wager and had just reached
Waco. Brann, who is too weak to talk,
is probably past surgery, although the
doctors say there is some slight chance
for him. Captain Davis was taken to
the Pacific hotel, and is regarded as
mortally wounded, his right lung being
badly lacerated Both men are bleed
ing internally and are faint.

Tho war Cloud Has Had No Disas-
trous Effects as Yet.
New York, April 2.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says: In
spite of foreign conditions since the
destruction of the Maine failures in
three months are smaller than in the
first quarter of any year since 1886; the
ratio of defauted liabilities to pay
ments through clearing houses has
been the smallest for that quarter since
1886; the average of liabilities per firm
in business has been the smallest since
1880, and the average of liabilities per
failure has been lower than ever be-
fore in any quarter. 1t is especially
significant that the failures for less
than 100000, without material de-
crease in number. were 29 per cent
smaller than last year in manufac-
turing, and "a per cent smaller in trad
ing.
The war cloud, which many have in
ferred must have greatly increased
commercial disasters, does not appear
to have any such effect as yet, and
while there is some decline in the new
orders for industries, nearly all live
works are covered so far ahead that
the difference is not felt. Rates for
money have advanced, and the pei
cent, which used to be the ruling rate
in active times, again prevails, which
compels many spectators to liquidate
But the imports of gold go far to pre-
vent any real anxiety.

SPAIN MUST STAND ALONE.
This Is the Dominant Opinion Amonp
G,,ontsl Gtpt,ant...,

Spanish StnteSnC".
Madrid. April Both United states
Minister woodford and the spanisr
ministers show pointed reserve con-
cerning the contents of the Spanish
memorandum. but it is said to be n re-
marSably strong restatement Of the
Spanish case on all the points raised
by the United States, and especially in
regard to the pacification of Cuba and
the settlement of the Cuban question
from the Spanish point of view.
In political and diplomatic circles the
situation is deemed critical, because it
is difficult for either side to make con-
cessions likely to be acceptable to the
other, JUDGING by the attitudes they
have maintained in the recent negotia-
tions. The impartial says the govern
ment has received excellent impress
sions on the favorable attitude of
European continental powers whose
friendly dispositions toward Spain
have been strengthened by the fact
that the United states and England
have lately been drawn closer by their
common interests in China.
Eel Liberal says that Spain must trust
solely to her own energies. 1t is un-
derstuod that this paper echoes the inn
preston that is dominant in diplomatic
circles and among many Spanish
statesmen. On the other hand. the
ministers and their supporters seem
still to entertain some hope that Presi-
dent Mckinley may hesitate and AGAR
attempt to stem the war currents pre-
vaiing in his parliament and country
now that the Spanish reply leaves nC
doubt that the queen and her minister!
will not surrender Cuba without 6
struggle, however costly and unequa
1t may prove to be.
