You can waste health without know
ing it, and poor health almost always
begins in the kidneys.
The most important organs OF the whole
body are the kidneys.
They filter your blood and keep 1t pure.
People are apt 70 believe that kidney
disease is rather rare disease, but re-
cent discoveries have proved that it is a
most common trouble indeed.
And the proof Of this is, that most dis
eases, perhaps s. per cent, are caused in
the beginning by disorders of the kidneys.
You can't be sick If your blood is pure.
free from kidney-poison and disease-breed-
ing germs.
Your kidneys should keep it so. That's
what they are there for. And as long
as they are we'll, they perform their duties
with thoroughness and dispatch.
You are well when your kidneys are.
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-RoOt. the great kid
ney remedy, Will make your kidneys well
when they are sick.
Kidney trouble often comes from over
work or over-exertion. From exposing
them to cold and other weakening iRfiu-
ences, from lifting or a strain, worrying.
From over-eating or oyer-drinking. All
these things weaken your kidneys and
poisonous germs begin to creep into your
blood.
1t is at just such times that DR.. Kill
mer's Swamp-Root is needed.

CENTRAL LABOR UNION MEETING
Represe natives of Many Trades
Were Present Sunday,

Sunday afternoon the labor unions Of the
city held an adjourned meeting at Ger
mania hall, over 314 North Main, for the
purpose Of perfecting plans toward the
organization OF a central union to be
known as the Wichita Central Labor
Union The large hall was taxed to its
fullest by most enthusiastic and repre-
sentative crowd Of Iaborers, statesmen and
mechanics. that is very suggestive of the
deep interest that has been manifest
among the laboring class for such an or
ganizat ton.
George F. Whitlock, treasurer of the
typographical union, called the meeting
to order, and after the constitution and
bylaws of the union were read. Short
speeches on the movement and its benefit
were made by prominent members present.
Election Of permanent officers was then
called for and the following men were
elected for the term of six MONTHS.
President-eGorge F. Whitlock, of the
typographical union.
Vice president-W. L. Moore Of the cigar
makers union.
Corresponding and recording secretary
Frey Stuckey, of the retail clerks union.
y-treasurer-James Fulk, of the
BARRIERS union.
Sergeant-at-a Bergman, of
plumbers union.
After the election of officers. the meet
ing was again thrown open and the unor-
ganized members present were asked to
talk and plans were discussed as to the
best method of organizing the different
classes. a rustling committee was the re-
suit. whose work it will be to visit the
unOrganized workmen and get them in line.
With one or two exceptions every branch
of industry in the city was represented
and from the reports made by those pres
ent, the contemplated organization of
unions will include every trade represented
in the city.
Union members present feel jubilant over
the success of the meeting. and say that
with such able officers at the head, Wfch-
tia will have one of the strongest unions
in the state. Never before has such inter
est been displayed in labor irccles and indi-
cations point 70 a very complete and sue
cessful federation.
The matter of the approaching labor con-
ventiOn in Topeka was also discussed and
a number of the organized bodies present
reported as to their selection of delegates
thereto. The meeting was then adjourned
until next Sunday afternoon. when dele

HE PASSES THROUGH
Wade Thomas on His Way
from Reformatory.
TICKETED TO Fl. WORTH
Coming Back to Show Scars
From Burns He Got.

Last night there passed through the city
on the Rock Island train a colored boy
named Wade Thomas. He was going to
Fort Worth, Tex. and had just been re-
leased from the Hutchinson reformatory
and provided with a ticket to his destina-
ton. Thomas is the boy who made so
much talk throughout the state and caused
Governor Leedy to make an investigation
at the reformatory. owing to the publicity
spread broadcast that Thomas was pun
ished for mis- incorrigibiIty by burning him
with hot irons Thomas said last night
as ne went through, the authorities would
not give him a ticket to stop in Kansas;
that he was released on condition that he
leave the state, but he would come back
soon and show the worst lot of scars on
his body that any person ever carried and
lived. He I'd they were put there by hot
irons run up and down his back
Thomas was sent TO the reformatory
about three years ago from Cherryvale for
assault, and has the reputation of having
been one of the worst inmates that the
officials in Hutchinson had to deal with.
He became so unmanageable that the Of
ficials were compelled to bring him within
the discipline of the institution by the most
cruel kind of treatment within the limit
of the law, and it was reported that hot
irons were put to use. Thomas said last
night that he had the scars to show for
it, and also that he was thoroughly cured
Of his bad habits. He will wait until the
present officials get out of office and then
come back. He said they only sent him
away from the reformatory so Governor
SANKEY'S new officials could not see his
back and legs.
Wade Thomas is a bright-looking young
fellow and does not show the spirit of bad
ness that caused him and officials of the
state probably as much trouble as any
criminal in it,

WANT AN ASYLUM
Delegation OF - etI4IgtOn People on
Their Way to Topeka.

Wellington is making a determined stand
for the bill authorizing new insane asy-
lum, and they want the location Of the
same at Wellington. A delegation of in
fiuential citizens stopper over here last
night while on their way to Topeka, where

the veteran newspaper man, who was very
sanguine in his opinions of the success of
WeninSton's undertaking. He said that a
new asylum would surely be built some
where; that this section Of the state would
certainly get it, and that Wellington was
the only town in this section asking for it.
The Wellington people base their hopes on
these three propositions.
Mayor Fellows, who ACCOMPANIED the
party, said Topeka was treating the new
