Find Out Yourself.

Why ask a physician to find out
whether your Kidneys are diseased.
Take a glass tumbler and fill it with
urine. If there is a sediment after stand
ing twenty-four hours, your Kidneys
are sick. you have desire to urinate
often, pain in the back, or if your urine
stains linen, you should at once take DR..
David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, as
delayis dangerous. There is no question
about its being the best and surest med
icine in the world for any and all dis
eases of tine Kidneys, Liver, Bladder and
of the urinary passages, Rheumatism,
Dyspepsia or constipation of the bowels.
1t quickly relieves inability to hold urine,
and the necessity OF getting up often dur
ing the night. 1t stops that scalding
pain when passing urine and corrects the
bad effects OF whiskey and beer.
1t is sold by all druggists at one dollar

PROSPEROUS CONDITIONS
Continue 10 Prevail In the Business World
General Ac ivily In Manufacturing.

Trade activity Is widespread, all meas
ures Of volume and value testifying to
prevailing prosperous conditions. Only
good reports are received from dlstrib-
utive trade centres, and some markets
report fall demand as holding out longer,
and quotations of staple prices all point
to maximum volume Of business for
this period Of the year. Crop returns
for October bear out earlier impressions
Of short yields Of most leading agricul-
tural products. Expectation Of more
moderate yields Of leading cereals Is not
confined to this country.
The higher range Of prices Of ell
staples, and particularly Of agricultural
products, however, will furnish profit
able balance to producers. The advance
in the price of cotton has been notable,
and its effect upon general southern
trade and industry are particularly ben
efcial.
General manufacturing industry Is
running full. and activity is SO wide
spread that it Is hard to prefer one in
dustry to another in this respect. Coal
production is particularly heavy, but
scarcity Of cars Is complained of in this
and in the coke industry. Iron and
steel are active as to production, but new
business Ia limited by the small guam
titles available for nearby delivery.
Liberal orders are still reported for the
first half Of next year.
Shoe manufacturers are busy, and
leather and hides are alphabetically
strong.
Failures for the week have been 164 in
the United States against 205 last year,
and q in Canada, against rs last year.

Boston, Oct. H.-At the height Of the
demonstration to Admiral Dewey Satur-
day Rear Admiral Sampson arrived in
Boston and at once assumed command
of the Charlestown navy yard. Immedl-
ately after his arrival at the yard his
starred flag was broken out from
the mizzenmasthead of the receiving
ship Wabash to the salute Of 10 guns
from the yard battery, as required by
naval regulations. Hardly had this con-
cluded when with flash and roar
came an additional salute and recogni-
ton from the Olympia, lying in the
stream and bedecked in holiday array
with flags and signal pennants. 1t was
just 1888 p. m. when the salute was given
from the yard, and this marks the time
of the officials assumption Of command.

Eleven Burned or Drowned.

New York, Oct. 17.-Eleven persons
met death in the torture Of flames or by
drowning in the disaster which occurred
to the Bridgeport line steamboat, the
Nutmeg State, off Sands Point L. l., at
sunrise Saturday. The list of injured is
very short, as most of the passengers
who escaped suffered nothing more than
shock from submersion in the chilly
water and only four persons were sent
to the hospital. The steamer was run TO
the beach at the outbreak of the flames
and burned to the waters edge. The
Nutmeg State, with over 100 persons on
board, bound from Connecticut towns to
New York, was discovered aflre when
she was within few miles Of Sands
Point, L. I. Just how the fire started will
never be known.

ARMY REORGANIZATION,

Washington. June 9.-The cabinet, in
connection with the possible necessity of
enliSting a force of volunteers to-day dis
cussed a plan for the enlistment of sew
eral skeleton regiments in Manila from
among the volunteers who desired to re-
main in service, and the subsequent fill
ing out of the regiments with recruits en-
listed in this country. General Otis, ac-
cord1ng to the plan, will be given author
dty to select officers for these regiments
from volunteer officers, who are to be
mustered out. The plan, which commends
Itself to the favor of the members of the
cabinet generally, would form a nucleus
of veteran officers and men seasoned to
the climate and familiar with the work to
be done. Such a force, leavened with vet
Grams, doubtless would be immeasurably
superior to a force of raw recruits, undis-
ciplined and unacclimated. The plan was
Only discussed in connection with future
contingencies, and did not reach the stage
of action. The attorney general an
nounced his opinion that the army re-or-
ganization bill, fixing the maximum
strength at $1,000, did not enlist a force
of hospital corps of about 1900 men, SC
that the enlisted force can be increased
that number.

JUDGE POLAND RESIGNS
William Devine Appointed as
His Successor.
AND ASSUMES THE OFFICE
Retiring Justice of the Peace Wants to
Deal in Scrip and His Office Would
Not Allow Him to Do So.
TIE New Justice.

In the five months Judge Thomas b.
land has served as justice Of the peace
the honors of the office have palled
upon him, so he has resigned.
Yesterday the resignation, which had
been presented quietly several days ago,
was accepted by the county commits
sioners, who Immediately named Will
lam Devine for the place.
I'm going back to scrip buying was
the only explanation Judge Boland
would vouchsafe when questioned as to
his reasons for resgning. His occupa-
ton prior to election last November as
justice of the peace was that of
broker in city, county and state securi-
ties. OF course. his election prevented
his remaining in that business, as it is
unlawful for a public official to deal in
such scrip. Perhaps he has found the
restrictions placed upon him irksome
and the receipts of the office not equal
to the profits from warrant dealing.
The new justice of the peace, William
Devine. is 81 years of age and popul ar
young man. He is a native of Indiana
but has been a resident of Anaconda
for six years, a large portion of the
time employed as a salesman in the
grocery establishment of Wills &
vine is a democrat in politics. He is
noted as an orator and made a speech
in the Deer Lodge county convention
last year which won him fame.
The retiring justice of the peace was
elected last November for term Of two
years and took office in January There
remains, accordingly, 10 months of his
term to be filled by Judge Devine.
Immediately on being appointed by
the commissioners Judge Devine quail
fed and filed his bond in the sum of
$4,000, with Thomas Boland, Hugh DAILY
and Fred Wills as sureties. That the
appointment is satisfactory to Judge
Boland is evident from the fact that the
judge has gone on his successors bond.
During the afternoon Judge Devlne
took the oath before County Clerk Mar
tin and was indicted into office.
The petition to the commissioners for
the appointment of Judge Devine was
signed by M. J. Fitzpatrick. Hugh
Daily, J. r. Walkup. Patrick Cuddihy,
j. V. Collins, F. c. Wills. j. B. Gnose,
John R. Boarman, T. OLeary, John T.

War 4 safnst Tuberculosis.

Chicago. June 9.-Publc war on tuber-
culosis was formally declared last night
when the Chicago Veterinary society, at a
meeting, decided to take the initiative in
the crusade against the scourge. To this
end the society called a joint meeting of
the veterinarians and physicians of Chi
cago to meet on Wednesday, June 81 at
termned whether the public shall be ad-
mitted. Mayor Harrison, Governor Tan
ner and the aldermen will be invited. The
purpose of the meeting will be to form
specific plans for the prevention of the
sale of milk in the Chicago market that
is not known to be free from tuberculosis
germs. A committee was appointed to
confer with the Chicago Medical society
and other Institutions with reference to
the details of the conference. The papers
to be read at the conference are to be
confined to the subject of regulating the
sale of milk with a view of discriminating
the source of tuberculosis milk. The vet
erinarians will advocate legislation for
the inspection of the cows that supply
the Chicago market The plan that stood
most in favor at the meeting was that
suggested by DIR. E. l.. Qutman. He
said:
at is necessary that we induce the city
council to take action for the appoint
ment of at least 60 COW inspectors. The
inspectors shall then give licenses to such
owners whose cows are found to be nom
tuberculosis. The cows shall be tested
every three months The city shall APP
point as many milk depots for the in
spection of incoming shipments of milk
as are deemed necessary. Every can of
milk that is shipped into the city shall
bear upon it the number of the shipper
license"
