Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis

the kidneys are out of order or diseased.
Kidney trouble has become so prevalent
that it is not uncommon for a child to be
born afflicted with weak kidneys, If the
child urinates too often, IL the urine scalds
the flesh. or If, when the child reaches an
age when 1t should be able to control the
passage. and it is yet afflicted with bed
wetting, depend upon II, the cause of the
difficulty is kidney trouble, and the trst
step should be towards the treatment OF
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due TO a diseased condition OF
the kidneys and bladder and not TO habit
as most people suppose.

are made miserable with kidney and blad-

The Bartlett cure, which is recognized by
the medical profession as being the fore
most treatment for the liquor habit. has
complied a book which plainly and clearly
aeais with this much dreaded disease That
drunkenness is a disease Is now generally
admitted by intelligent people and that 1t
can be cured is equally certain.
The Bartlett cure is based on the best
principle of any liquor treatment now in
existence and Alcoholism is treated by
them much the same as a bad cold is cured
by a physician. 1t does not drug-fortify
the system as injection cures do. but goes
directly to the seat of the disease builds
up the depleted nerves and restores clear
ness OF the mind to the patient, aids the
digestive powers and fully restores to the
drinking man all that vigor destroyed by
alcohol.
1t is taken at home without publicity and
does not require the loss of an hours time
from his occupation and the desire fop
liquor ceases after the first few doses.

SAYS SELLS is INNOCENT.
Kansas Convict Promises to Prove L
in Return for a Pardon
..l. .-+ for Himself.

TOPEKA, July 6.-(Special) Oscar w.
Bane, prisoner in the Kansas peniten
tiary, claims to have conclusive proof of
Willie Sells innocence, but he will not d.
vulge 1t unless he is pardoned. Sells law
yer, William Slater, OF Topeka, is urging
Governor Stanley to pardon Bane SO that
he will give up the story.
Bane was sent to prison in 1898 from
crawford county for seven years for bur-
glary: Had his prison record been good he
would have got out last April, but he is
still In prison. The prison officials say that
he will be released August 3. The friends
or Willie Sells have expressed such conti-
dence in the story of Bane that they have
got Governor Stanley interested. The gov
ernor few days ago wrote to w. r. Cline,
county attorney of NeoSho county, telling
him what Bane says he can show. In re-
ply, Cline declares that Bane is fraud,
and that he has no such proof at hand.
However, as Bane is to be released within
the next month anyhow, Cline says it
would do no particular harm to pardon him
now. Governor Stanley has not indicated
what he will do in the case.
Bane told the story to Sells attorneys,
but refused to give the names of the par
ties connected with 1t. In effect, he says
he can produce evidence that will fasten
the crime for which Willie Sells is now
serving life sentence on four other men,
who are still living in Neosho county.
He warned the authorities not to let an
inkling of what he said get out because
the four men would leave the country to
ment, the authorities have been at work
on the case very quietly and have done
everything possible to prevent its leaking

Chairman Rankin Says Democrats

Fight the Policy of the Ad-
ministrntion in Regard
to Philippines.

TERRE HAUTE, IND, July 6.-Morti-
mer c. Rankin, chairman of the Populist
national central committee, was interview
ed this afternoon in regard to whether the
Populists would form fusion with the
Democrats for the coming campaign.
Mi. Rankin said that they would not, for
the reason that the Populists will hold their
national convention one month prior to that
either of the Republicans or the Democratic
conventions. For this reason the Populists
will prepare their own platform and nom-
mate their own candidates.
The time for the national Populist con-
vention is not determined yet, and cannot
be determined until one OF the big political
parties names the date for its convention
Mr. Rankin stated that the party was
split up in its views. but it was hoped that
everyone would be brought to one course
before the convention met.
The Populists of Nebraska, Mr. Rankin
said. were in favor of fusion. should they
be allowed to name the nominee for vice
president on the Democratic ticket. While
this might be allowed In Nebraska, the
other states will by no means submit to
such an action.
The Populists are tired of fusion, for
they have found that whenever they en-
tered into fusion with the Democrats, the
latter party received the benefit, while the
Populists were there merely to fill up.
Mr.. Rankin stated that the party was
split on the matter of holding the Philip
pine islands. In his opinion, the object OF
the government should be to tear down ali
the monarchies possible and construct upon
the debris the foundation Of republics; the
more republics the better. He said If the
Democrats fight the policy of the admin.

suitable form of government has beer

DELAWARES ENTER PROTEST.
object to Leasing of Cherokee Lands
Until Their Claim Is Set


WASHINGTON, July 6-(Special) Rich
ard c. Adams, representing the Delaware
Indians In the Indian Territory, has writ
ten letter to the Indian Rights Associa-
ton here. in which he makes strong ap-
peal for the moral support and assistance
of the association in protecting the rights
OF the Delawares, which, he says, are now
being jeopardized by the possibility of large
leases being granted to certain wealthy
corporations or syndicates covering the
greater part of the selections and locations
of the land now in their possession in the
Cherokee nation. He says that, through his
and John Bullette's efforts, the twenty
fifth section of the Curtis bill became
law which provides that suit may be
brought in the court of claims and the su-
preme court to determine and enforce the
rights of the Delawares in the lands ana
funds of the Cherokee nation, and further
provides for the segregation, IN Ssparate
allotments or otherwise, OF the l5levO acres
of land purchased by the Delaware tribe of
indians from the Cherokee nation under
agreement of April s, 1851
This, he says, has not been done, although
demanded by the Delawares: Before the
passage of the Curtis act. he, continues;

extensive leases on oil. gas; coal and other
minerals from the Cherokee nation, on

United States styling themselves the

Pennington Company all represented by
the law firm of Charles H. Aldrich, of Chi

to the rights of the Delawares is now In

Thee or Four Cases OF yellow Fever
on Transport Mcclellan. Which
Arrived mt New York From
Santingo Yesterday
=, Morning.

HAVANA, July 6.-Two cases of yellow
fever have been reported to-day. One of
the patients is an old Spanish woman, who
has been in Cuba two years and with her
the disease is In Il mild form. The other
case is that of an American. whose symp-
toms are still doubtful, although it is be-
lieved by Surgeon Major Davis and other
officers to be yellow fever. Both cases
were discovered in a part of the city little
frequented by Americans. Surgeon Major
Davis does not believe there is much dam
ger that the disease will spread. He says
that at this time of the year there are al
ways a few cases of the fever. Every ef-
fort will be made to prevent its increase.
General Ludlow is satisfied that it is inn
possible as yet to keep yellow fever out
of Havana, and especially out of such sec
tions as that at the southern end of
Oficios street. The health of the troops is
remarkably good, and makes better
showing than at many points in the United
States.
NEW YORK, July 6.-The transport Nc
Clellan arrived to-day from Santiago and
was detained at quarantine. Her surgeon
reports that three of the passengers have
yellow fever Two of these are cabin pas
sengers One is Miss Clendennin, daughter
of the surgeon in charge at Santiago,
whose death from yellow fever was report
ed yesterday. Miss Clendennin told the sur
geon of the transport that she had not
seen her father for some time prior to sail
ing, but two days after the transport left
Santiago she was stricken with the disease,
which is mild in character. The patient Is
improving.
The following yellow fever patients were
removed from the Mcclellan to the Swim
burne island hospital this afternoon: Miss
Clendennin and Oscar F. Leiky, a civil en-
gineer; also two suspects. John Ferguson,
a tugboat captain.

ARE In SAD PLIGHT.
Copper River Miners Return Penni-
less and sfcI-Brfng Tales of
Hard Luck.

SEATTLE, WASH, July 6.-The two ex-
treme results of the search for gold in
Alaska were presented in strong contrast
to-day, when the steamer City of Topeka
arrived from the North. Miners from Daw-
son walked down the gangplank trembling
under the weight of the gold dust they
carried. Miners from Copper river fol-
lowed, staggering from weakness and dis
ease contracted in the terrible North. The
Klondikers wore new suits. Those from
Copper river were still in the blanket
clothes they were when they left civiliEa-
ton, and nearly every one had a roll of
blankets under his arm. One poor Copper
river miner from New York landed with
out a cent. A banker, hearing of his plight,
purchased for him ticket across the con-
tinent with a sleeping car coupon, and
fitted him out with new clothes.
The Topeka also brought details of the drowning Of
four men at Five Finger rapids. They were: L.
Green. Seattle; H. Mohlin, whitby island Wash: H.
DingIey. Victohia, B. c.: William Hoffman, whitby
island. Wash.
They were going to Dawson on a scow,
became confused and lost control Of their
scow. The stream carried 1t against the
rocks and broke 1t into pieces. The four
men were unable to swim.
The Copper river passengers number
fourteen. They say the government relief
party sent by Captain Abercrombie into
the interior did g. great deal of good and
doubtless saved many lives.
Abercrombie is now some distance up the
Copper valley, working on the main road
to the Yukon.
Purser r. C. Jones says that the Klon-
dikers on the Topeka placed in his care
about $4,000 in gold dust J., T. Kenyon
". w. Haywood and Judge Ostrander, who
were the richest men on board, had about
400 pounds of dust among them.
DR.: Leroy s.. Townsend. who has beer
in charge of the hospital in the Copper
river district, arrived here to-day. He wen
into the Copper river country in February
1898. He confirms previous reports of fatal
tiles in that section: He gives the follow

ley Yesterday.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-General Hender-
son. Of Iowa, the prospective speaker Of
the house, had a conference with the pres
ident to-day, but at the conclusion of
his call stated that no general questions
had been discussed.
Il have simply been looking after mat
ters pertaining to my own district he
said
When asked as to the prospects of an
extra session of congress he said:
For myself, have never thought that
congress would be called together in ad-
vance of the regular time. for 1 have never
thought that there was any occasion for
an extra session"
Regarding the prospect Of financial leg
islation, General Henderson said that was
being taken care of at Narragansett Pier.
Moreover" he added, there Is no finan-
cial bill. No bill has ever been formulated
as the result of our caucus committee
work at Atlantic City. What was pub
lished was not authorized, and much of II
was not correct. The whole subject is in
embyrotic shape and there Is nothing to
say in connection with it."

BECKER CONDEMNED TO DIE.
Convicted of killing His Wife and
Cutting Up and Boiling the
ROdy.

CHICAGO. July 6-August Becker, the
stock yards butcher, to-day was found
guilty of the murder of his first wife. His
punishment was fixed at death. The jury
was out only short time. Becker showed
apparent indifference. The father of
Beckers second wife, George Sutterlein,
accused by Becker of being the murderer,
did not attend the closing scene. Suffer-
lein's daughter, Becker's second wife, was
also absent.
Mrs. Rachel Becker disappeared last jan
uary, and two weeks later Becker mar
ried 17-year-old Ida Sutterlein. When
Becker was arrested he confessed to hav-
ing killed his first wife in fit of rage.
In order to dispose of the body he said
he cut it up and boiled 1t, piece by piece
While on trial he denied all this, and
claimed his father-in-law, Sutterlein, did
the killing. ,-
Becker and Michael Rollinger. who is
also under the death penalty for wife mur-
der, may be sentenced to hang side by
side. Rol1inger: like Becker, wanted to be
single so as to marry again.
