OF terrors, for any football outside his

SO free and honest men suffer agon-
les or lmaslnation when they learn that
they nave diseased kidneys. They may
live for years. They may die before
another sunset. Kidney trouble Is
more deadly than consumption If neg
lected or improperly treated. It is a
great mercy that one sure remedy cN-
lists.
Herbert Harley, dealer in shoes at
Twentieth and Pine streets, Philadel-
phia, says:
I suffered for years with chronic
kidney trouble and tried many RENE
dies and doctors. About a year ago
had an extremely serious attack. l
could not attend to business and my
family was much alarmed. My back
was so lame l could not stand erect.
l had high fever and night sweats, and
the pain in my back made it impos-
sible to secure a good nights rest.
The doctor said I had TOO much acid
in my blood, which caused neuralgia
cOnultlOnS. 1t makes man pretty plue
to be always ailing, and one who mas a
store finds sickness an expensive lux
ury.
'One day my daughter brought me a
well-knoWn remedy and urged me to
take it. A friend had recommended
it so highly she was sure it would do
me good l didn't have much conf
dence in it, for / had tried so many
things that I had little faith left in
anything. Its action, however, was a
pleasant surprise. 1t seemed to take
right hold and strengthen the bladder
and kidneys, and made me feel bet
ter before the end of the week. 1t just
braced me like tonic, and I feel l owe
my life to Warmers Safe Cure, which
was the remedy 1 used
The doctor was right. Mr.. Harley's
blood was charged with uric acid, a
malignant poison. When the kidneys
are sound they draw it. from the blood.
When they are unsound the acid re-
mains. to shatter the nerves, to weak
en- the heart and to dull the brain. 1t
is needless, and, to many readers, it
would be painful, to tell in detail the
terrible progress of kidney diseases.
Warmers Safe Cure, which drives
them out Of the body, is within the
reach OF all.

not. A lady who was leaving the stand
dropped her open purse and lot of sill

called attention to the fact that half

the stand. The lady picked up the hall
and walked away. Then the other boys
swore like troopers at the good boy Tor

and gave him thrashing. His clothes

DEATH OF MRS. FUTILE.
Wife of Monsana's Former Bishop Passes
Away.


Away.
Mrs. futile, wife of the first Episcopal
bishop of Montana, died in st. Louis
last Friday. Bishop futile has been on
a Western tour for several weeks and
was in Butte not long ago and lectured
on pioneer days in Montana. From here
he went to Utah, and it is supposed
that he was in st. Louis at the time of
Mrs. Tuttle's death, although this is not
stated in the brief dispatch which was
received in Salt Lake Friday The Her
aid of that city has the following no.
tice of the DEATH
George Y. Wallace last evening re-
ceived a telegram froom st. Louis con-
tanning the sad announcement that
Mrs. futile, the wife of Bishop futile,
formerly of this Episcopal diocese, died
at that city yesterday. While the tele-
gram did not so state, it is believed by
Mr.. Wallace that her death resulted
from a surgical operation, as it is
known that an operation was to have
been performed yesterday.
The news of Mrs. Tuttles death will
cause profound sorrow in this region,
where through her long residence she
had endeared herself to hosts of
friends. She came to Utah with Bishop
futile in 1868 and lived in this city I'M
til 1887 She was a native of New
York state"

FIRST WHITE WOMAN.
Mrs. Downing the Pioneer of Pioneers in
Spokane.

Spokane.
1t now appears that the first white
lady who went to Spokane was Mon
tanan. The Chronicle of that city says
IN regard to the first lady:
The first white lady who ever came
to the Spokane falls is in the city to-
day. She is Mrs. NJ. A. Downing, and
arrived here this morning from Pendle
ton. She will be in the city until Sun
day.
Mrs. Downing, who is now 6S years
of age, came to the site of the present
fourshing city of Spokane in 1872. Her
husband. James Downing, squatted on
some land and bult himself log cabin
near the south end of the Post street
bridge (there was no bridge them,
when he arrived here from Montana by
the overland route. The following year
the Downings sold their place to James
N. Glover, and few months later
they took up a farm about five miles
southeast of the city. One or two years
later the Downings removed to Walla
Walla.
james Downing has been dead for
several years, and Mrs. Downing S
home is now at Pendleton."

BIBLE IS PROGRESSIVE
They Are Wrong Who Assert II
Is Out of Date.
THE DIVINE FORESIGHT
Everything for the Elevation of Man Has
Been Arranged by Providence
Beforehand-Bishop Duncan's
Interesting Sermon.

Bishop w. w. Duncan of South Carp
lima arrived in Butte yesterday and
preached before large congregation in
odd Fellows hall, where the South
Methodist congregation is holding
forth, pending the construction of the
new house of worship on the site of the
old Idaho street church.
The bishop is a pleasing talker and
he entertained his audience last night
with a profound and earnest demon
straton of the truth Of the word of the
Son of God. He went on to show how
a great many people nowadays try to
make it appear that the Bible is out of
i've. This assertion, it was shown, is
wide of the mark. In the beginning
God planned for the generations to
come. He deposited the minerals in
the mountains, planted the ingredients
everywhere for the outgrowth of cleo
tricity, steam and all the powerful
agencies whose virtues are by scienti-
fic research and appliance, to-day be-
ing set forth. He also planned for
liberty, morality, education and for
the advancement of mankind. While it
may be charged in some quarters that
the Bible is out of date, yet it is true
that it is the most progressive work
ever evolved. In fact, before man was
created, God had prepared for his ad-
vancement. Nature. pioneered by PROV
idential arrangement, has seen to 1t
that nothing rending to elevate man
kind has been overlooked.
The bishop went on to show how
schools, colleges and especially churches
are of more benefit to a community
than the biggest squc,1 of policemen.
Every man is benefited by the dollars
he contributes to the cause of Chris
ttianity and education.
What" asked he, would all your
great mines here be worth if there We're
no Christianity in your community?
Why. it would be a matter of who could
null first and shoot quickest
The reverend gentleman does not al
together approve of costly church
buildings, which he says are an mex
cusable extravaganza. Any place, ne
says, is good enough to worship God in,
so long as it is comfortable. He paid a
beautiful tribute to the Catholic mis-
sionaries and Sisters, who have done so
much good all over the world, especially
on the frontier.
Bishop Duncan will remain in the city
a few days and will preside at the cor
ference. which begins in Boulder next
Thursday.

The City Library.

AS it has been determined to give
the voters of Mo. Valley a chance to
vote upon the question of accepting
from the Library Association of this
city, the gift of their accumulation of
books for the past twenty years, con-
sisting of some two thousand volumes,
together with pamphlets, documents
and newspapers. The ladies of this
city, after years of struggle and hard
ship, succeeded in organizing the Ii
brary. And now it has become of
such magnitude and utility to the pub
lie that it is too much labor to fall up
on any one class SO they propose to
resent it to the public to be cared for
and owned by the CITY, and governed
by the city authority. 1t is of impor-
tance that 1t should be city property.
Its cost has been about two thousand
dollars, and contains all kinds of
books embracing history, geography,
biography, poetry, science, literature,
romance, statistics and ETC., and is
offered to the city free of cost. The
cost will only be the wages of .
librarian to care for it, which cannot
be very great, and will thus secure to
the public an institution of great value
and add to the character of our city.
We are unable to see a single objec-
ton to its acceptance by the voters of
the city, can you?

Toes Mashed.

About $50, Saturday afternoon,
James Brown, q machinist's helper,
working on wheel press at the shops,
had the toes of his left foot pulpified,
BY the dropping of a heavy car axle on
his foot. Part of Browns work is to
bring in the steel car axles, which are
turned down to shape on the lathes.
Saturday after he had loaded an axle
onto low, small-wheeled truck, which
is used in moving heavy pieces of ma
chinery, he started to push the truck
at the same time holding the axle in
place on the truck. AS he started
through the entrance of the machine
shops, he released his hold on the axle
in order to open the door. AS soon as
the OBTAINING hand was released from
the axle it rolled from the truck. In
falling 1t fell across the ends of the
first three toes on the left foot, pain
fully mashing them. DR.. Colt dressed
the injuries and thinks at present that
the foot may be saved without an am;
putation of the toes.
