To Test the Wonderful Merits of Modern Discovery,
May iavea Samp Bott

NSKssts5s. os4tn@Ma.

The way to be well is to pay atten-
ton to your kidneys.
They are the most important organs
Of the body-the blood filters
All the blood in your body passes
through your kidneys once every three
minutes.
The kidneys strain or filter out the
impurities in the blood-that is their
work.
Purifying your blood is not question
Of taking a laxative or physic.
Does your blood run through your
bowels?
What the bowel-cleaner does is to
throw out the poisons confined in your
bowels ready for absorption into your
blood, but the poisOns which are
already in your blood, causing your
present sickness, it leaves there.
There is no other way of purifying
your blood except by means of your
kidneys.
That is why bowel-cleaners fail to do
their work-they forget the kidneys.
When you are sick, then, no matter
what you think the name of your dis
ease is, the first thing you should do is
to afford aid to your kidneys by using
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great
Kidney Remedy.
In taking Swamp-Root you afford
natural help to nature, for Swamp
Root is the most perfect healer and

gentle aid to the kidneys that Is known
to medical science.
DR.. Kilmer, the eminent physician
and specialist, has attained a far
famed reputation through the discov-
cry and marvellous success of Swamp
Root in purifying the blood, and there
by curing chronic and dangerous dis
eases, caused by sick kidneys, of which
some of the symptoms are given below.
Pain or dull ache in the back or head,
rheumatism, neuralgia, nervousness,
dizziness, irregular heart, sleeplessness,
sallow complexion, dropsy, irritabtlity,
loss of ambition, obliged to pass water
often during the day, and to get up
many times at night, and all forms Of
kidney, bladder and uric acid troubles.
Swamp-Root is sold by all dealers,
in fifty-cent or one-dollar bottles.
To prove the wonderful merits Of his
great discovery he now offers to every
reader Of this paper a prepaid free
sample bottle of Swamp Root, which
he will send to any address free by
mail.
A book about Health, Diet and Dis
ease as Related to your Kidneys also
sent free with the sample bottle.
The great discovery, Swamp Root, Is
so remarkably successful that our
readers are advised to write for sam
pie bottle, and to kindly mention San

Doolan-FragleY Contest.

Up to date no evidence of fraud in the
Doolan-Fragley election contest has been
discovered. Yesterday the last of the
ballots cast in the Twenty-eighth and
Twenty-ninth districts had been counted,
and Doolan had gained nine votes. When
the recount closed Friday night Doolan
had gained twelve votes, but through
losses and gains and improperly marked
ballots Fragley picked up few votes and
Doolan was but nine in the lead at the
close of the count. 1t is the present in
tentfon of Doolan to have the entire 303
precincts recanvassed, process which
will take at least two weeks. Although
no fraud has been proved up to date,
DooIan is not yet discouraged and looks
for glaring evidences of fraud in the

His Suit Against Mary Jane Ryer for
Breach of Promise Thrown
Out of Court by Judge

The suit instituted by William
Henry Allen in which he sought to re-
cover S25 900 damages from Mary Jane
Ryer for alleged breach of promise was

Trout. but investigation proved that the
plaintiff was not present. Neither was
he represented by counsel, and on motion
of NJ NJ. EStee, who represented Mrs.
Ryer, the suit was ordered dismissed.
The suit promised spicy developments,
but through the change of heart on the
part of the plaintiff the matter has been
throttled without hearing. Allen rep
resented that he was a retired lawyer of
wealth. He became engaged to marry

and subsequently, presented her with prop

ing this evidence of devotion on his part
Mrs Ryer declined to keep her promise,
he alleged, which caused him anguish
equal to the amount sued for. Mrs. Ryer'
answer outlined an interesting defense.
He represented that he was a retired
lawyer, she alleged, and was possessed of
property worth $3.50 900. He asked to be
allowed to take charge of her business,
come his bride. He said he would see
that she enjoyed a life of ease and lux
ury, she further set forth, and he fur
nished her with list of property he
claimed to own. He also presented her
with q deed to real estate and mining
stock valued, he said, in excess of $4,000.
She admitted that for a time she was in

Work of the Storm.

Superintendent of Streets Fragley has
received a flood of complaints since the
storm commenced of streets and sewers
that need the immediate attention of his
men. The southern portion OF the city
suffered particularly. as the southeast
wind backed the water up into the Bran
nan street and other sewers.
A large force of men is at work repair
ing the ravages of the storm. The chief
trouble has been caused by cesspools that
should have been thoroughly cleaned be-
fore the winter set in and which choked
I'D rapidly when the rain came. Mr.
Fragley has taken hold of the matter in
an energetic manner and promises to have
the trouble done away with as soon as
possible.

of Angel Island
Over in Oakland Creek the British ships
Atom Alaw and Flintshire had a lively
time. Captains Thomas and Jones were
Congratulating themselves upon their
safety from wind and weather, when a
heavy south-southwest squau struck both
vessels and ten minutes later they
brought up in the mud on the Alameda
side. The Atom Alaw took up a position
on one side of the American ship Indl-
ana and the Flintshire on the other al
most as quickly as 1t takes TO tell the
story. All three vessels are almost touch
ing each other and yet no damage was
done. The steamer Roanoke was driven
out of her place of refuge in the mud on
the Oakland side and is now anchored In

During the afternoon the steamer CO.
lumbia came in from Portland and while
trying to dock at Spear street parted
two of her hawsers. After an hour of
hard work Captain Green finally got her
moored to the wharf.
The river steamer City of Dawson, that
was built for the Yukon trade, but has
been in the hands of the Sheriff for
months. broke loose from the Second
street slip and did herself considerable
damage. She got into such a position
that tugs could not get to her, so she

A Chinese Raid.

Inspectors Lynch and Gardiner yester-
day arrested sixteen Chinese actors who
were returning to this city from Fresno.
The arrest was made on the Oakland
boat which arrives at the ferry landing

failed to show any papers and they have
been held for examination on a charge
of being unlawfully in the country. A
short time afterward Inspectors Flesh
and Tippetts raided the Chinese Theater
and captured eight actors. The prison.
ers claimed that they came from the
Omaha Exposition and to have papers
showing that fact If they produce the
promised papers they will be released, be-
cause the Secretary of the Treasury has
given all the Chinese exhibitors at Omaha
until the end of this month to go home to
