SATURDAY ... -, SEPTEMBER ?, 1899
Comstock Solicitations.

This afternoon about 20 minuters to
a o'clock while Pat Kennedy was
standing in front of the Delta saloon,
Fred Plunkett came up the street from
the direction of Union and struck him
a blow OF the head with a pickhandle,
laying the forehead open from over the
RICH eyebrow to the temple and mar
rowly missing the eye. Kennedy fell
to the ground while Plunkett walked
away again unmolested. Kennedy was
carried to D. Packard's office where
his wound was dressed.
The trouble is believed to have
started this morning when Plunkett
came out Of a saloon somewhere in
the %vicinityIof Union and C and slap
ping Kennedy on the back, said:
"Hell you old ----, how
how r youa" Kennedy turned and
without a word struck Plunkett on the
chin knocking him down. Plunkett lay
there for a moment dazed and upon
getting up explained that he meant no
harm when Kennedy remarked that
that vas the way the Kennedys do it,
or words to that effect. The two men
then separated. Both have been drink
ing heavily.
AS the Report goes to press we are
informed that Kennedy's injury is a
serious one, the skull being fractured
in two places.

Trnok ranks for 1trolrht rnrInou.

The use Of track tanks by which To-
comotives OF high speed passenger
trains may take water without stop
ping is almost universal on the larger
Eastern roads, where fast expresses are
the rule. The B. & o. r. r. has q
number between Washington and Phil
adelphia and intends to equip the en-
tire Main Line in the future. This de-
cision was recently arrived at through
the use Of passenger locomotives
equipped with water scoops, on fast
freight trains. It was found that much
time was saved, danger from stopping
being reduced to a minimum and cost
Of running lessened. The extra stops
for water take much time and the wear
and tear on equipment is no small
matter. II the experiment on this part
of the road proves successful, track
tanks will be installed on every divl-
sion between Baltimore and Chicago
AS starter, the so new Vauclain COM
pound engines recently ordered will be
dtted with water scoops.

they do not possess the power to the

Guilty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment
Of those important organs. This un.
pleasant trouble is due to a diseased
condition of the kidneys and bladder

.Biliousness, dyspepsia, loss of appetite,
disturbed sleep, nervousness, headache,
giddiness and drowsiness wind and pain
or fullness of the stomach after meals, cold
chills and fushings of heat, shortness of
breath-these are the blank cheques of
physical bankruptcy. Take them to a
physician and he will fill them up with the
name of some more or less serious disease.
Every time that you carry one of them to
him you draw out some of your funds in
the Bank of Health. Keep it up, and there
will soon be no funds in the treasury.
The man who suffers from these dis
orders and neglects them will soon be in
the relentless grasp of some fatal disease.
If he is naturally narrow chested and shall
low lunged, it will probably be consunp-
ton; if his father or mother died of par
alysis or some nervous trouble, it will
probably be nervous exhaustion or prostra-
ton, or even insanity if there is faint in
the family blood, it will be blood or skin
disease; if he lives in new or low,
swalnpy country, it will be malaria; if he
lives life of exposure, it may be rheu-

a man to. follow who finds himself out of
