beauty. The center window was seen yes

standpoint 1t Is superb. The figures are
true TO life in form and coloring, the eX-

worthy. Among the many fine points
noticed were the delicate colorings of the

We do not always know the constant
danger that confronts us through all the
daily walks of life. It may be an acci-
dent or sudden illness: or perhaps. dis
ease that has been stealing upon us from
day TO day.
It used TO be considered that only urin-
ary troubles were to be taced to the kid
neys. but now modern science proves that
nearly all diseases have their beginning in
the disorder OF these most important or
gans.
Now by this is not meant that you
should overlook all the other organs and
merely look after the kidneys.
Your other organs may need attention
but your kidneys most. because they do
most.
If you are sick do not neglect your kid
neys, because as soon as they are well.
they will help all the other organs to
health.
The kidneys may get weak or diseased
from a thousand and one causes; from
overwork, worry, a simple cold, from lift
Ing, a strain, or excess in high living
Others may suffer from diabetes. dropsy,
swelling of the feet and ankles. rheuma-
tism, bad blood, gout. gravel, catarrh OF
the bladder, sleeplessness, anaemia, ner-
vousness, headache or neuralgia.
All these symptoms are due to kidney
trouble. and the most prompt and efectual
cure is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the
great kidney remedy.

1T STILL FLOWS.
Oil Still Flows From the Quincy Well
and More Wells to Go Down
Soon,

Our Quincy correspondent, Cleaner,
gives us the following bit of interesting
news from the Logan county oil field:
Oil well No. 2 Qeav;ng out the two
old ones) will soon be commenced on
the farm of Mrs. Houlihan. We believe
the faith of our people is growing
stronger every day in the belief that
we have profitable oil field here, if
developed. They pumped well NJ l
one day and got from 15 to 20 barrels of
oil and some who witnessed it claim
the oil in the well was reduced but a
few feet. AT any rate after the pump
ing, in few hours the oil was again
flowing down the river sufficiently to
cover the water in it several feet wide.
The faith of the company is shown in
the fact that several have received so
cents an acre to continue their leases
six months longer. The company now
say they will put down two more wells.
We saw a communication from Mr..
McCauley and in that he gave the
assurance that they were preparing to
come here to drill and would be here
some time this week. There is much
that is being done to lead to the belief
that an oil boom is close at hand, but
we desire to not give news too advanc-
ed, so leave it for the future.

DR.. HAMILTON RESIGNS.

The session of the United Presby-
terian church voted their pastor, Rev.
DR.. G. w. Hamilton, q vacation, but
Sabbath morning he informed his con-
gregation that owing to the low state
of the finances of the congregation he
could not accept the vacation but would
ask Presbytery to release him from the
pastoral relations as soon as arrearages
are paid. The resignation. came as a
surprise to our people and his many
friends will very much regret to have
him leave us. @4
About a year since he had a good
offer from church in Lowell, Massa-
chusetts, but could not bring himself
to sever present relations. He now has
two places under consideration, and
much as we regret the parting of old
friends, we hope his new field of work
will be to him an advance in every
sense of the word. DIR. Hamilton has
been in this community for eleven
years and he and his estimable family
will be greatly missed. Mr.. Hamilton
has been a man of much influence in
the community and will be greatly
missed by his church and our people.
His resignation leaves us with compar-
atively new pastors in all our churches.

NOW WILL THEY BE GOOD?

The Hanna and anti-Hanna Repubii
cans in Cleveland have been divided
up into three factions, each having
Committee that claimed to be the Re-
publican committee, entitled under the
law to appoint Judges of Election, and
attend to all other duties under the
law belonging to ''the" committee.
A proposition was made to the
Hanna Committee to make up a
committee composed of five from
ca ch of the three committees and
then have the three old committees
resign, in the interest of harmony in
the party. The Hanna committee re-
fused to do this. The McKisson and
Holcomb committees then united and
called Republican Primary for Sep
tember 7, to nominate q county officers,
including candidates for the Legis-
lature. The Hanna committee called
Primary for September Ia. Kinney,
the Secretary of State, Saturday, ap-
pointed an anti-Hanna Republican and
an anti-Hanna Democrat to the two
vacancies in the Election Board.
This gives the anti-Hanna men control
of the Election Board, and the Primary
for September 7 will be recognized,
and the ticket then nominated will be
placed on the legal ballot. This leaves
the Hanna Committee out in the cold,
and the Hanna element will either
have to support the ticket to be nomi-
mated September 7, or bolt as they did
last Spring.
Meantime, the McKisson and Hol-
comb Committees have agreed on a
ticket to run at their primaries and
will doubtless carry it through.
Mark had better come home, and

THE STRIKE.
The Militia Called Out in Cleveland.

The strikers, or their sympathizers
used dynamite, Friday, in attempts to
blow up cars, and destroy the street
car barns, in Cleveland, and Saturday,
Mayor Farley called out five compan-
les of militia. Sunday, cars were run
ming on all the lines but
The strikers have issued circular in
which they justify resort to force,
saying that it is the only weapon which
will prove effective against combina-
tions Of wealth."
This declaration is ominous, and
portends trouble in the not distant fut-
ure for our Republic. There is a deep
seated feeling that the Government
it's Executive, Legislative and Judicial
branches-is arrayed against the peo-
pie and for the protection of combina-
tions of wealth, in the shape of trusts
and large companies to control the
most important franchises and bust
nesses of the country.
The people must be disabused of this
idea by the enactment and enforce
ment of laws that will protect the peO-
pie and destroy the oppressive power
of these monopolies. If not, the dis
content will spread, for the American
people will not quietly. submit to the
expressions of capital or of the Govern
ment, and when they feel that there is
no hope for them through the ballot
box they will invite the torch and
sword of revolution.
All these troubles could be easily
settled if the people would trample
under their feet all officers of all de.
partments who side in with their op.
pressors. But the people will not dc
this, They fail to recognize that the
ballot is the safest, and most effective
weapon they can WELD, and they neg.
lect elections, and permit themselves
to be used by party bosses to forge
their own chains. And sooner or later
they become hopeless of Government
reform, and throw themselves in blind
rage into mobs and revolution and in
vite death in the hope of relief rather
than submit to their wrongs.
Where are the party leaders, OF
leaders of the people who will have
the courage to meet these questions
and be safe and brave counselors of the
people?

LIKED BY HIS CREW.
English Papers Comment on Affec-
ton For the Admiral.

London, July 21.-The newspapers
here are printing extraordinary stories
regarding Admiral Dewey and his
crew. One of the papers says that,
although the crew of the Olympia is
a motley collection of English, Ameri-
can, Russian, Austrian, French and
even Chinese sailors, all are as fond of
Admiral Dewey as though they had
served lifetime under him.
Another newspaper article declares
that the report that the Austrian Gov
ernment has forbidden any official
greeting of Admiral Dewey, out of con-
sideration for the feelings Of SPAIN is
untrue.
