the members of his cabinet would at
tend the funeral. President Mckinley
was deeply moved, and when Senator

bereavement. Mrs. Mckinley was
greatly affected. She gave way COM

vulsively. Mrs. Mckinley has but few
intimates here. and among her most

shadowed all else and public business

of the cabinet, especially Att'y.-Gen.

PARSNIP COMPLEXION.

1t does not require an expert to detect the
sufferer from kidney trouble. The hollow
cheeks, the sunken eyes, 'the dark, puffy
circles under the eyes, the salow parsnip
colored complexion indicates it.
A physician would ask if you had rheuma-
tism, a dull pain or ache in the back or over
the hips, stomach trouble, desire to urinate
often, Or a burning or scaldiDg in passing it;
if after passing there is an unsatisfed feeling
as if it must be at once repeated, or if the
urine has brick dust deposit or strong odor.
When these symptoms are present, no
time should be lost in removing the cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the
bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage, and
sometimes requiring the drawing of the
urine with instruments, or may run into
Brght's Disease, the most dangerous stage Of
kidney trouble.
DR.. Kilmers Swamp-Root, the great dis
covery of the eminent kidney and bladder
specialist, is positive remedy for such dis
eases. Its reputation is worldwide and it is
so easy to get at any drug store that no one
need suffer any length of time for want of it.
However, if you prefer to first test its
wonderful merits, mention EVENING HERALD
and write to DR.. Kilmer & Co.. Binghamton,
N. Y, for sample bottle and book telling all
about it, both sent absolutely free by mail.

But the Condition Of Lawyer Hamil-
ton. shot by walker, Is Serious.

warrant for General Walkers arrest
has been issued, but has not as yet been
served. No warrants have been issued
for Davis or Hamilton. All the parties
concerned refuse to make any state
ments as to the events which immedi-
ately preceded the shooting
General Walker engaged in a quarrel
with Hamilton during the taking Of
depositiOns in the election contest. The
general drew his revolver and fired a
shot at hamilton. As Hamilton fell to
the floor Davis returned the fire. two
bullets striking General Walker in the
shoulder.
General Walker is 67 years Of age.
He commanded the Stonewall brigade of
the Confederate army in 1868; com
manded General Early's old division at
the surrender Of Appomatox, and was
severely wounded at Pottsylvania Court
House. He has been lieutenant COVER
nor of Virginia and served in both the
Fifty-fourth and Fifty-fifth congress as
a Republican.

CANINE REMORSE.
A MastiR Kills n Little Greyhound
Disappears and Never Returns.

A MastiR Kills n Little Greyhound,
Disappears and Never Returns.
A gentleman from Indiana county, who
is absolutely reliable, related dog story
which would seem to indicate that dog
can suffer keen remorse. "a few years
ago." he said, 81 owned a fine, big mas
tiff, which l had reared from puppyhood
and who was intelligent and faithful. He
was extremely good natured and seemed
to exercise the most considerate care in
playing with children orssmaller dogs not
to hurt them
when had kept the mastiff for sever
al years, became the possessor of a deli
cate little Italian greyhound. The mastiff
treated him as one of the family and new
er abused him, but the little greyhound
consider, q himself a dog of superior breed
and too aristocratic to associate with the
mastiff He would snap and snarl at the
mastiff when he came near, and when the
dogs were fed the little greyhound would
attempt to drive the mastiff away. This
continued for some time, until one day
after the greyhound had eaten the guam
tum of food thrown to it it ran up to the
mastiff, snapped it on the leg and attempt
ed to take its food The mastiff looked at
it for a second, and then, as if 1t had con-
GluhGNl ludl lb Was Ullllb I'd UettCn Un6 lIlDu-
dent little greyhound lesson, grabbed it
by the neck and gave it little shake.
When he dropped it, the greyhound lay
limp and lifeless. His neck had been bro
ken. Brag-that was the mastiff's S name
Looked at the dead dog as if sincerely
sorry for what he had done He tried to
make him get up, and when the little
greyhound was taken off and buried he
went along and took great interest in the
proceedings.
Seeing that the mastiff was much dis
turbed over what he had DONE / spoke to
him kindly, patted him on the head and
tried to cheer him up, supposing that he
would forget all about it in few minutes
But was mistaken. The dog skunk away
and never returned That was nearly
three years ago and 1 have never heard of
the mastiff since. l can account for his ac-
tions in no other way than that he was
overwhelmed with remorse and shame for
what he had done. .'-Punxsutawney Spir-
it,
