Thee is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Or. kilmer's swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy, fuiills
every wish IN curing rheumatism, pain n
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every
part of the urinary passages. 1t corrects
inability to hold water and scalding pain
in passing it, or bad effects following use
of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity of being compelled
to go often during the day, and to get up
many times during the night. The mild
and the extraordinary effect Of Swamp
Root is soon realized. 1t stands the high
est for its wonderful cures of the most
distressing cases. If you need medicine
you should have the best. At druggists

Postmaster Trubshaw:

Postmaster Trubshaw: The Pos,
Office Department has adopted new
form of domestic money order which
will be introduced September 4. The
new form is somewhat smaller than
the order now in use, being about the
size of a bank draft. It has two ad-
juncts-the advice, or notification, to
be sent by the issuing postmaster, and
receipt for the amount to be furn-
ished by the issuing postmaster, to
the ,emitter. On the back of the
order, separate space has been pro-
vided for the stamps of banks through
which its may be passed for collection.
The order is blue, having a light blue
ground, with fine, closely interlaced,
tinted lines of lathe-work Of differ
ent shade. In the center is the words,
POSTAL Money Order" in shaded
capital letters of the same two tints of
blue. The tint of the order, and the
lathework will serve to prevent imita-
ton; but as an additional safeguard
against counterfeiting, a horizontal
water mark, composed OF the initials
U. s. M. o., in broad, capital letters,
has been wrought into the paper on
which the new forms are printed. The
new orders are big Improvement.

The manner in which the restored
prosperity of Mckinley and protec-
ZION has touched the finances of the
American people is indicated by a re-
port just issued by Comptroller of the
currency Dawes. In collecting the
data entering into his report nearly
lO.OOO reports from banks have been
examined and compiled. The results
of the investigation Indicate a magni-
tude OF banking resources and a rate
OF growth in number of deposit ac-
counts which is unparalleled in the
financial history of the world. 1t is
shown that in the past ten years de-
post accounts have increased in num-
Der from 6,7OS,971 in 1889 to 13,153,S74
in 1899: that the increase in the num-
Der Of borrowers is much less than the
Increase in the number Of depositors;
that the average deposit of the indi-
vidual or corporation has greatly in
creased; that the rate of interest on
loans has decreased; that the aggre-
gate of individual deposits has in
creased from $3,776, 41O, 402 in 1889 to
$7,513, 1854 1861 in 1899, and that in ten
years the aggregate of loans has in
creased from $3,475.272, 262 to $751;
49,, $40.
These are big figures, but it takes
big figures to express the kind of pros
perity now being enjoyed by the people
Of the United States.

minds the inheritance from the dim
past of their race, and are oppressed
as no other people are oppressed by
the gloom of strife between spiritual
emotion and material facts. It is the
brains of dreamers such as these
which clear the mental life of a COM

the mysterious looms which weave

Celtic thought. 1t were madness to
suppose that life in the island con-
Bists of nothing but sadness or melan-
