AS Proof of its Marvellous Merits Every Reader of State
Journal" May Have a Sample Bottle Sent
Absolutely Free By Mail

Statistics prove that more people are
brought to the grave by diseases of the
kidneys and bladder than by any other
disease.
For years medical science has been
trying to discover some remedy that
would positively overcome these danger
GUS troubles. But not until recently
was the discovery made Dr. Kilmer
the eminent kidney and bladder special
ist, after years of study and research,
and after test on test that never varied
in the grand result, announced the dis
covery of Swamp Root, which has
proven itself a most wonderful cure for
all diseases of the kidneys and bladder
The immediate symptoms and first
proof Of weak kidneys are pain or dull
ache in the back, rheumatism. dizzi-
ness, headaches, nervousness. heart
trouble, pain in the limbs, bloating, SAL
low complexion, puffy or dark circles
under the eyes, bladder irritation, sup
preston of urine, obliged to pass water
often day and night, WORKOUT, tired
feeling, lack of ambition
II your water, when allowed to re-
main undisturbed in a glass or bottle
for tWenty-four hours, forms a sediment
or settling, or has a cloudy appearance,
it is evidence that your kidneys and
bladder need Immediate attention.
Swamp Root has been tested in so
many ways, in hospital work, in pri-
waite practice, among the helpless too
poor to purchase relief, and has proved
so successful in every case, that a spec
ial arrangement has been made by
which all readers of the State Journal
who have not already tried it, may have
a sample bottle sent absolutely free by
mail. Also a book telling more about
Swamp-Root and containing some of
the thousands upon thousands of testi-
monfa1 letters received from men and

01SGGaeCe Co Pay Cuban Soldiers.
HAVANA, Feb. 2.-Robert p. Porter,
the representative of President McKin-
ley, and Senior Quesada, the Cuban
commissioner, who recently left Wash
ington on a special mission to Cuba.
started at a. m. for Caibarien, prov
ince of Santa Clara, in order to see Gen
eral Gomez.
Mr.. Porter's mission to General Go
mez is of two-fold character, to dis
cuss with him fully the position Of the
Cuban army and to invite him to Ha-
vana.
The Washington administration de-
sires an immediate and friendly settle
ment of the Cuban army question. AS
the military chiefs decidedly refused to
accept $3,OO0,O00 in complete satisfac-
ton of the claims of the soldiery, Wash
ington has decided, it is said, to offer a
much larger sum, even as large as $751;
100000, if less will not be accepted.
Whatever is agreed upon is to be a
charge upon the revenues Of the island
until it is paid. The Cubans, civilian
and military, are aware thatvan engage
ment of this sort may prolong the
American occupation, but as it seems to
be their earnest wish that the army be
paid great sum, the administration
at Washington will yield, it is under
stood, and open negotiations with this
ultimate object.

General Henry Takes Radical Action in

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Feb. 2.-Major
General Guy v. Henry, military gov
ernor Of Porto Rico, has deposed the
mayors and councilmen of Aguilla and
Moco, in the province of Aguilla, and
has temporarily suspended the civil au-
thority in both towns owing to the in
cessant political quarrels and the gross
official corruption.
Captain Mansfield, Eleventh United
States infantry, who is now in charge of
the district, has been instructed to APP
point new officials chosen from the Rad
ical party. The offenders belong to the
Liberal party. General Henry intends
his summary action to serve as an OBJ
ject lesson to other towns in Porto Rico
and a warning against similar failure of
self-government from similar causes.

POOL BROKEN.

Iron Ore Combine Will Not Govern the
Output This Season.
DULUTH, Feb. 2.-Tne combination of
iron ore miners that for the past half
dozen years has governed the price of
bessemer ores and has allotted to each
range and every mine the amount it
could sell in the market, is broken.
1t got together this month in Cleve-
land, but the interests failed to agree on
an allotment and the whole thing broke
up. Before the break, however, the
pool managed to make price on ore
for the coming year about 90 cents
above that of last year.
Contrary to the general result when
pools are broken, there will probably be
no decline when the prices arranged by
the agreement are changed, but an ad.
vance 1t was the fact that some inter.
ests thought the pool prices too low that
caused the failure of negotiations for an
allotment agreement.

ST. PAUL, Feb. 2.-Danny Mcleod.
champion catch-as-catch-can wrestler of
America, won his match with Hall
Adali, the giant Turkish wrestler, and
gave him 60 minutes Of as hot wrestling
as has ever been seen. The match was

Hall Adali should throw Mcleod twice
in an hour OF forfeit 81 900. The Turk
secured the first fall in 81 minutes after
Mcleod had broken away number of
times.
In the second bout Mcleod assumed
the defensive and by his superior agility
kept the Turk on his feet for about 90
minutes of the time, although there was
an occasional mixup. In the last IL
minutes Mcleod assumed the offensive
and kept the Turk busy all the time.

ALLHOPEGONE
Most Ardent Supporters of Drey-
fus Admit That No Justice
Will Be Done.
Nearly Every Frenchman Has an
Opinion of Guilt or In
nOcence,
Which Not All the Reasoning in
the World Would Suffice to
Change.
Result of the Agitation Will Be
a Terrific Onslaught of VIC
lence on Jews.

PARIS, Feb. 2.-The most ardent sup.
porters of the theory that Dreyfus was
uniustly condemned now admit that
there is no longer the least hope that
justice will be done.
4 prominent member of the Univer-
sity of Paris. who, from the first has
been a militant champion of revision of
the trial, says:
.'For SO out of 100 Frenchmen the
guilt or innocence of Dreyfus is mat
ter of sentiment. All the reasoning in
the world would not induce them to
change their attitude. There are mill
ions of Frenchmen who will insist upon
Dreyfus' guilt, in spite'of any proof to
the contrary. A feature of the sit
.uation is that the attitude of this
majority is dictated by motives which
they believe are deserving of high
est respect. I admit that some Of
the Dreyfusards are much to blame
for this. The best cause may be ruined
by disreputable adherents, and there
are men ON the Dreyfus side of whom
every patriotic Frenchman is the nat
nral enemy. While the majority of us
have been merely demanding that JUS
tice should be done, a pestilent minority
has made this demand an excuse for
virulent onslaughts on institutions we
hold in great esteem"
Inconclusion the member of the uni
versity predicted that the result of the
agitation will be san onslaught Of I'M
pa1alleled violence on the Jews, as the
misses are convinced that they are the
bottom " tne wnoie trouble. s-ss-
The Liberte, which is usually well in
formed, says;
'sThe decision of the court of cassa-
ton in the Dreyfus affair will be that
the evidence proves the existence of a
traitor, but that neither Cointe Ester
hazy nor Lieutenant Colonel Henry
could answer to the culpability re-
vealed by the secret dossier."
This statement is all the more sig
nifcant, in that it is made by a pro.
Dreyfus paper. The Liberte adds:
"The dependency of the Dreyfus
party seems to show that the solution of
the problem is as distant as ever"

gotiations he had been opposed TO the
acquisition of the Philippine archipel-
ago and said that She had freely and
frankly advised the president and his
fellow commissioners of his belief that
it would be unwise to
Attempt to Shape It's Destiny.
He had used his best endeavors to bring
them to accept his views, but had ut
terly failed and at last reached the con-
clusion that he would either have to
join with the majority or see the treaty
fail and the war continue In the mean
time he had been largely won over by
the arguments Of his colleagues and by
the logic of the situation, and he had,
at last, concluded to sign the conven-
ton. Having taken his position he was
here now to defend the treaty as wise
conclusion of most delicate diplomatic
undertaking. Many complications had
beset the commissioners in their work,
and while he would not retract what he
had heretofore said as to the undesira-
bility of
Acquiring Distant Territory
as matter OF principle, still there were
times when a nation, as an individual,
might have to choose between evils.
Senator Gray did not advocate perma-
nent occupancy of the eastern islands,
but said that the duration Of our exer-
else of sovereignty there should be set
tied in the future and not at present.
Senator Money attacked the acquisi-
ton of the islands as contrary to the
spirit of American institutions and as
unconstitutional. He said the govern
ment of the United States could not af-
ford to put itself in the attitude Of a

pie in every land that appeared, accord
