LIST OF GENERALS CHOSEN.
otis aud shafter win he Named rs AddI-
tiOnai Major Generalization. Lee One OF
the Nine BrlgRdier Generals.


Washington, March 10.-The presi-
dent has practically made up the list
of the general officers to be retained
in the volunteer branch of the service.
The basis of all the calculations is an
army of 65, 900 men, for the president
has so far insisted that he will not call
for volunteers in addition to that num-
Der unless an emergency should arise
The reorganization act limits the num-
Der of major generals to be appointed
TO one for each $4,000 men, and the brig
adler generals to one for every 1000
men in actual service. On this basis, as
there are already three major generals
in the army in the persons of Gen.
Miles, Gen. Brooke and Gen. Merritt,
there is room for but two more. To
fill these two places the president
has selected Gen. Shafter and Gen.
Otis, now in command of Manila. 1t
is safe to say that the list of briga'
diers to be appointed will include the
following names: Gen. Wood, at San
tiago; Gen. Wilson, at Matanzas'
Gen. Lee, in the province of Havana'
Gen. Davis, now on duty with the
court of inquiry into the beef supplies;
Gen. Ludlow, in command of Havana
city; Gen, Lawton, nearing Manila'
Gen. MacArthur, at Manila; Gen.
Chaffee and Gen. Frank.

CATASTROPHE AVERTED.
Came Within Foot OF Plunging into
the Chicago River.

Chicago, March O.-Fifty people mar
rowly escaped death in an accident to
Halstead street electric car at the
North Halstead street bridge. APP
preaching the bridge at rapid rate
of speed, the motorman of the car
failed to notice that the bridge was
open. When within a few feet of the
river he suddenly discovered the dan
ger and put on the brakes, at the same
time endeavoring to reverse the cleo
trio current. In spite of his efforts,
the front part of the car ran down
upon the abutments of the bridge and
hung there. One foot further and it
would have plunged into the river, 80
feet below, and as it was jammed with
passengers the loss of life must have
been frightful.

Have You Tried Swarnp-Root?
To Prove for Yourself the Wonderful rerts Of This
Great Discovery Every Reader of This Paper
May Have Sample Bottle Sent
Absolutely Free by rail.

Statistics prove that more people are
brought to the grave by diseases of the
kidneys and bladder than by any other
disease.
Kidney trouble is in itself so insidious
and deceptive that thousands have
some form of it and never suspectit.
For many years medical science has
been trying to discover some remedy
that would positively overcome these
dangerous troubles.
But not until recently was the discov-
cry made. DR.. Kilmer, the eminent
physician and scientist, after years of
study and research, and after test on
test that never varied in the grand re-
suit, announced the discovery Of
Swamp Root, which has proven itself a
most wonderful cure for all diseases Of
the kidneys and bladder.
While Swamp-Root has proven such
remarkable success in curing kidney
and bladder diseases, it has also proved
equally invaluable in the cure of blood
diseases, rheumatism, liver and stom-
ach troubles, and in the regulation and
cure of all uric acid troubles,
Hyourwater, when allowed to remain
undisturbed in a glass or bottle for
twenty-four hours, forms sediment or
settling, or has cloudy appearance, it
is evidence that your kidneys and blad-
| der need immediate attention.
Swamp-Root has been tested in so
many ways, in hospital work, in private
practice, among the helpless too poor to
purchase relief, and has proved so sue
cessful in every case, that special ar
rangement has been made by which all
readers of this paper, who have not al
ready tried it, may have a sample bot
tie sent absolutely free by mail Also a
book telling more about Swamp-Root,
and containing some of the thousands

What Shall We Do?

A serious and dangerous disease
prevails in this country, dangerous
because so deceptive. 1t comes on SO
SLOWLY yet surely that it is often firm
ly seated before we are aware of it.
The name of this disease, which
may be divided into three distinct
stages, is, first Kidney trouble, indi-
Gated by pain in the back, rheumat-
ism, lumbago, frequent desire to urin-
ate, often with burning sensation,
the flow OF urine being copious or
scsnt with strong odor. 80
If allowed to advance, this reaches
the second stage, or bladder trouble,
with heavy pain in the abdomen low
down between the navel and the wa
ter passage, increasing desire to urin-
ate, with scalding sensation in pass
ing, small quantities being passed
with difficulty, sometimes necessary
to draw it with instruments. If uric
acid or gravel has formed, it will
prove dangerous if neglected.
The third stage is Bright's disease.
There is comfort in knowing that
DIR. Kilmer, the great kidney and
bladder specialist, has discovered a
remedy famous for it's marvellous cures
of the most distressing cases and
known as DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root.
1t is sold by all druggists. -.
