The pale. SallOw, Sunken-Cheeked. dis
tresSed-looking people you SO often meet
are afflicted with Kidney Complexion. -
Their kidneys are turning to Il parsnip
color. So is their complexion.
They may also have Indigestion, or
suffer from SleeplesSness rheumatism,
neuralgia, brain trouble, nervous eX-
hauStion and sometimes the heart acts
badly.
The cause is weak unhealty kidneys
Usually the sufferer from kidney dis
ease does not find out what the trouble
is until ii is almost too late because the
first symptoms are so like mild sickness
that they do not think they need 4 medi
cine or doctor until they find them
selves sick in bed.
DR.. kilmer's Swamp-Root will build
up and strengthen their weak and dis
eaSed kidneys, purify their diseased,
kidney-poiSoned blood, clear their COM
pleXion and soon they will enjoy better
health.

Lucky Winchester.

The city Of Winchester has just re-
ceived another large installment Of the
specific bequest Of the will Of the late
Judge John Handley, Of Scranton, Pa.
The amount already received is $780,
600, which was promptly invested in
Virginia bonds. One hundred and
ninety thousand dollars more will like
ly be received during the next few
months, and this amount will also be
invested for the city's benefit. This
$250,000 is in no way connected with
the suit against the estate, as the al
legged heirs are not suing on direct be-
quests, but on the residuary legacies,
in which, however, Winchester is also
interested to large extent. When
the $250,000 above named shall have
accumulated like amount, then the
100000 will be used for the erection
Of industrial schools and a public IL
brary in that city. The portion Of the
Handley fund already invested in Vir-
ginia bonds has increased Is per cent
which represents the advance in the
market value Of the same.
Last Thursday the city solicitor of
Winchester received telegram from
Scranton, Pa, announcing that the
opinion in the Handley will case,
which has been occupying the courts
of that city for some time past, was
filed that day. The bill in equity
was dismissed, with costs. Winches-
ter, therefore, wins the suit, which
was instituted by alleged heirs Of the
late Judge John Handley, attacking
the validity of the feature making
Winchester the residuary legatee.
The amount involved in the suit APP
proximates $7OO,OOO

married and lived happily together
until she died, which occurred two
years afterward.
