New ORLEANS, June 2S.-B. B. Pears,

killed by sentry in San Pedro, Spanish
Honduras, on Jan. 81, and whose killing

press the case at Washington. Pears
WAS refused permission by the Hondur-

at the state department that criticisms

DIR. KILMER'S SWAMP-ROOT
Is Not Recommended for Everything
But if You Have Kidney or Bladder
Trouble II Will be Found Just
the Remedy You Need.

Kidney trouble preys upon the
mind, discourages and lessons ambi-
ton; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness
soon disappear when the didneys are
out of order or diseased.
Kidney trouble has become so prev
alent that il is not uncommon for u
child to he born afflicted with weak
kidneys. If the child urinates too
often, if the urine scalds the flesh, or
if, when the child reaches an age
when it should be able to control the
passage, and it is vet afflicted with
bedwetting. depend upon it the cause
of the difficulty is kidney trouble and
the first step should be towards the
treatment of these important organs.
This unpleasant trouble is due to
diseased condition of the kidneys and
bladder and not to a habit as most
people suppose.
So we find that women as well as
men are made miserable with kidney
and bladder trouble and both need
the same remedy. The mild and the
immediate effect of Swamp-ROOt is
soon realized. 1t is sold by druggists
in fifty-cent and one dollar sizes. You
may have a sample bottle by mail
free, also pamphlet telling all about
it, including many of the thousands
of testimonial letters received from

Zacapa, where he was thrown into a
filthy prison. He notified Minister
Hunter, put two days later, he alleges,
he WAS taken to the train at the end of
rope and carried to Port Barrios.
AT Port Barrios, Richards says, he
was imprisoned for two days without
food. Then he was put aboard "a
steamer and his fare paid to this couti.
try. He found Harris ON the same ship.

There is time to keep silence, but il

place a poultice over the wound. The
boy resisted vigorously.

clared stoutly.
As the hot poultice touched the boys
foot he opened his mouth.
"Yon"- he began.
Keep still" said his mother, shak-

applied the poultice. Once more the
little fellow opened his mouth.

But the uplifted switch awed him

poultice was firmly in place. and the
boy was tucked up in bed.

MOdus yivenii.
WASHINGTON, June 2S.-Nothing was
heard from Ambassador Choate as to the
results of the conference he had with
Lord Salisbury for modus vivendi
regulating the Alaskan boundry, but
the last phase of the case was that the
Canadians had come back with a coun-
ter proposal, i'll place of accepting the
definitive American proposition which
had been carefully drawn with the sole
purpose of preventing any future con-
troversy over the points agreed upon be-
tween MIR. Choate and Lord Salisbury.
This Canadian proposition proposed a
radical change i'll the line OH the Dalton
trail, and was of a character wholly un-
acceptable to the Americans, involving
as it did the transfer into Canadian
jurisdiction of the fortunes and claims
of many American miners. Unless
there is Il decided abatement on one
side or the other of the demands, the
desired modus will be as unlikely of
attainment as was the permanent agree
ment Oh the boundary question, and
the chances for rcassembling of the
joint high commission will fade away
entirely.
