The Joyous Easter.

Yesterday was observed and COM
memorated in Shenandoah and
throughout the Christian world as the
anniversary of our Saviour's resurrec-
tion from the dead. As noted in our
news columns, it will be seen that the
day was properly observed in the
churches of this town, the several
sanctuaries being beautifully trimmed
for the occasion.
There is no day upon which the
church has greater reason to rejoice
than Easter. The Lenten gloom and
sadness in which it has been en-
shrouded for the past forty days, has
passed away and given place to
brighter days. They have been eman-
cipated and resurrected from the sleep
of death-the life blood to-day again
runs warm and healthful.
Easter, commemOrating as it does
the Saviour's resurrection, is the most
interesting and joyous day Of the
year. It. is the most unmistakable
evidence of life to come, without
which this world would be but a
dreary waste. "Thanks be TO God who
giyeth us the victory through our
Lord Jesus Christ -

RETIRED ADMIRAL'S SUICIDE.
A Victim of Nervous Disorders, I
IL I. !.

A Victim of Nervous Disorders, He
shot Himself In an Asylum.
Boston, April 3.-Rear Admiral G. G..
Carpenter (retired) committed suicide on
Saturday in a sanitarium in this city.
Admiral Carpenter, who was 50 years
old, was retired in 1896, after 46 years
OF continuous and honorable service
During the Spanish war Admiral Car
penter was recalled from retirement to
act as commandant of the Portsmouth
navy yard in place of Commodore Re
mey, who had hoisted his flag on the
receiving ship Lancaster, at Key West.
Admiral Carpenter leaves widow and
family, one son being Assistant Surgeon
d. NJ. Carpenter, who was on the
Raleigh during the operations against
Manila and who has been transferred to
the Olympia.
Admiral Carpenter for the past six
weeks was an inmate of the Adams Ner-
vine asylum, in the Jamaica Plain dis
trict, and it was at that place that the
suicide occurred. At the earnest request
Of his family the details were withheld
from the public As usual in such cases,
the police were notified, but even they
were kept from knowing of the circum-
stances of the suicide until "a hours af-
ter.
For number of years previous to his
retirement Admiral Carpenter suffered
severely from nervous disorders, and
soon after being released from service
went under medical treatment. He had
apparently recovered, but six weeks ago
there came a relapse, and he was again
placed in the asylum.

THE COMMUNICATIONS who have
just held mass meeting in Chicago
to protest against an alliance between
this country and England are astray
as to the spirit and temper of the
United States. No one can find any
fault with the object of this protest,
for the men who made it are all
American citizens, and have as much
interest in the country and as much
right to assist in shaping its policy
as any other class of Americans,
native or naturalized. But they en-
tirely misapprehend the conditions
here if they really suppose there is
any chance that this country will be
dragged into an alliance with Eng
land. Under the wise direction of
President Mckinley, America persists
in maintaining friendly relations to-
ward all countries. This country
will enter into no league with any of
them it will antagonize none Of
them.

What Shall We Do.

A serious and dangerous disease prevails
in this country, dangerous because so decep-
tive. 1t comes on so slowly yet surely that it
is often firmly seated before we are aware Of it.
The name of this disease which may be
divided into three distinct stages is, First
Kidney trouble, indicated by pain in the back,
rheumatism, lumbago, frequent desire to
urinate often with a burning sensation the
flow of urine being copious or scant with
strong odor
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 water passage, increasing de-
sire to urinate, with scalding sensation in
passing, 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 DR..
Kilmer, the great kidney and bladder
specialist, has discovered a Remedy famous
for its marvellous cures of the most distressing
cases and known as DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root.
It is sold by all druggists.
As proof of the wonderful virtues of this
great discovery, Swamp Root, sample bottle
and book Of valuable information will be sent
absolutely free by mail on application to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. When
writing kindly mention that you read this
liberal offer in the Shenandoah HERALD.

THE HERO OF MALoLos.
Colonel Funston. of Kansas, Has Had

Colonel Funston. of Kansas. Has Had
an Adventurous Career.
Kansas City Mo-, April 1.-Colonel
Frederick Funston, of the Twentieth
Kansas infantry, who was the first man
to enter Malolos yesterday, and whose
brilliant record since the Philippine
campaign opened has attracted much at
tention, is a son of ex-Congressman II.
II. Funston of the Second Kansas dis
trict. He was born I'm Ohio 33 years ago,
and is a graduate of the Kansas State
university. In his younger days Funston
was a reporter on the Fort Smith Tri-
bune. During President Harrison's ad-
ministration he was sent to Alaska by
the government on a hunt for specimens,
and had many thrilling experiences. He
made a canoe trip alone 900 miles up
the Yukon. In the fall Of 1894 Funston
went to Cuba and enlisted in the Cuban
army. For two years he fought valiant
ly for the cause of the insurgents. At
one time he was commissioned colonel
and commanded the entire artillery
forces Of the Cubans under General
Garcia. He fired the first dynamite gun
used by the Cubans in their war against
the Spanish, and was in many severe
battles. In one charge he received a
bullet just below the heart. He re-
turned to Kansas and had barely re-
covered from his wound when Governor
Leedy appointedp him colonel OF the
Kansas regiment. Last fall Colonel
Funston was called to Florida, and gave
General Miles many points OF value re.
garding Cuba. Funston's friends have
urged him for appointment as brigadier
general.

SINGULAR SHOOTING IN NEW YORK.
Evidently the Act of a Drunk Craze
Man, who Escaped.

Evidently the Act of a Drunk Crazed
Man, who Escaped.
New York, April 3.-Samuel Hallcr,
SO years old, ticket seller with Buffalo
Bills Wild West show, was shot and
probably mortally wounded yesterday af-
ternoon in a saloon on West Thirtieth
street. The shot was fired by William
H. Holland, 33 years old, a guest at the
st. Cloud hotel. Holland made his es-
cape.
There is much mystery about the
shooting. There were only few persons
in the saloon at the time Among then
were Haller, Holland, Bartender Ernest
Heineman and William McCune, a
friend o. Haller and also connected with
the Wild West show. He was at the
bar, drinking with Haller.
Bartender Heineman says the room
was perfectly quiet and orderly and no.
body was looking for or expected trouble.
The party was somewhat startled when
Holland walked hurriedly out Of the
lavatory and approaching Haller and his
friend demanded angrily OF the former:
"What are you talking like that about
my brother forT'
Haller was astounded, as he says he
never saw the man before, and his con
versation could not by any method b.
made TO cover the mans brother, or any
one else, in fact He said he was talk
ing Of some commonplace matter.
81 am not talking Of your brother" he
said calmly. II never met you. sir"
you're liar" hissed Holland and
instantly he pressed revolver, which
he had partly concealed under his coat,
against Haller's abdomen and fired.
Haller fell 10 the floor In the con
fusion Holland easily escaped. The in
jured man was taken TO Roosevelt hos
pital where his wound was examined
and found to be very dangerous.
"Billy" McCune, Haller's companion,
told a story which corroborates Haller's
story with one important addition. He
says Haller and Featherstone, the sa-
loon proprietor, were talking about one
Burbridge, and Haller had remarked:
"Pm always glad 10 meet your friends,
Bill, but j draw the line at Holland" ."
II seems Featherstone had introduced
Holland to him.
