There can be nothing better for

and all ailments arising from kidney
disorders than Morrow's Kid-ne.oids.

better kidney remedy. Kid-ne-oids
contain the very best ingredients that
are good for ailments arising from the
kidneys. The vast number of people
in this city who have testified to the
merits of Kid-ne-oids is sufficient
proof that none of our claims are
false.

WARNING WOMEN.
Some Blood-Letting Done With
Shears and Pen-Knife.

Two women, a pair of shears and a
penknife caused lot of trouble at the
lodging-house at the southwest corner
of Fourth and K streets yesterday af-
ternoon.
According to the account cleaned
from the police, Maggie Cooney and
Mrs. Ingham were enjoying themselves,
the house. They had imbibed pretty
freely, and Mrs. Ingham, according to
her story, accidentally jagged Maggie
in the wrist with pair of shears.
Miss Cooney went to the foot of the
stairs and waited till the other came
down, when she assaulted her with a
penknife, giving her two severe slashes.
The first laid open the bridge of her
nose, and partially severed an eyelash,
and the second struck her throat on the
left side, under the ear, and continued
around to the right side of the chin.
Neither wound was deep enough to
cause serious consequences. Mrs. Ing
ham was treated at the Receiving Hos
pital.
Miss Cooney was arrested by Officers
Bagley, Naghel and Douglas. She in
formed the officers that she was merely
defending herself from an attack made
on her by her companion with a pair of
shears, and she exhibited a rather ugly
stab in her wrist to substantiate her
statement. ~ 4s,5e
