A Prompt Way to Cure Yourself, When Symptoms Show That
Your Kidneys Are Out of Order.
To Test the Wonderful Merits of the Great Modern
Discovery, Swamp Root. Every Bee Reader May
Have a Sample Bottle Sent Free by Mail:

The way to be we'll is to pay attention to
your kidneys.
They are the most important organs Of the
b%ody-the blood filters.
All the blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes. e..
The kidneys strain or filter out the i'm
purities in the blood-that is their work.
Purifying your blood Is not a question Of
taking. a laxative or physic.
Does your blood run through your bowels?
What the bowel-cleaner does is to throw
out the poisons confined in your bowels
ready for absorption in your blood, but the
p~oisons which are already in your blood,
causing your present sickness, it leaves
there.
There is no other way Of purifying your
blood except by means Of your kidneys.
That is why. bowel-cleaners fail to do
their work-they forgot the kidneys.
When you are sick, then, no matter what
you think the name Of your disease is. the
first thing you should do is to afford aid
to your kidneys by using DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy.
In taking Swamp-Root you afford natural
help to nature, for Swamp Root is the most
perfect healer and gentle aid to the kidneys
that is known to medical science.
DR.. Kilmer. the eminent physician and
Omaha daily bee., 1899-01-12

specialist, has attained a far-famed reputa-
ton through the discovery and marvellous
success Of Swamp-Root in purifying the
blood, and thereby curing chronic and dan
gerous diseases, caused by sick kidneys.
of which some of the symptoms are given
below.
Pain or dull ache in the back or head,
rheumatism, neuralgia, nervousness, diEzi-
ness, irregular heart, sleeplessness, sallow
complexion, dropsy, irritability, loss of am
bition, obliged to pass water often during
the day, and to get up many times at night,
and all forms Of kidney, bladder and uric
acid troubles
Swamp-Root is sold by all dealers, in go
cent or 81 bottles.
To prove the wonderful merits Of his great
discovery he now offers to every reader
of this paper a prepaid free sample bottle
of Swamp-Root, which he will send to any
address, free by mail.
A book about Health, Diet and Disease
as related to your kidneys, also sent free
with the sample bottle.
The great discovery. Swamp-Root, is SO
remarkably successful that our readers are
advised to write for a sample bottle, and to
kindly mention Omaha Daily Bee when
sending their addresses to DR.. Kilmer & Co..

payers Of the Second, Fourth and Seventh

ment in favor OF a viaduct at Twenty fourth

locality as may suggest themselves from
time to time. The organization has not

twenty taxpayers and was organized by the

Halter, vice president, and Byron r. Hast
ings, secretary. Messrs. Halter, Yates and
Freeman were designated as a committee
to prepare a constitution and bylaws and
submit them for consideration at the next
meeting. Aside from this no business was

cussion Of the purposes of the club and II
was the general sentiment that 1t could be
made a means of bringing about some
needed improvements. The club will meet

matters that are OF interest to the people of
that part of the city.

The robbery perpetrated by a young

1t Is one that has been used very often in

was unacompanied. A woman answering
her description entered the stores Of the

She secured nothing at either place although
practically the same course Of procedure

SEEKING RELEASE FROM CUSTODY.

BuckOvis, Through His Attorney, De.
clares that He iS Illegally Held.
Judge Slabaugh has partially recovered
from an attack Of the grip and cam to the
court house to hear the Dan Buckovis habeas
corpus case.
Buckovis was bound over to the district
court by POLICE Judge Gordon on December
90 on a charge Of assault with intent to do
great bodily injury. He was arrested by
Policeman Anton linda for being one of the
three assailants of Policeman Peter Jorgen-
son at Sixth and Pacific streets on December
-.
The attorneys for Buckovis argued that
there were certain Irregularities leading UP
to his clients binding over, among them a
change made in the warrant subsequent to
the arrest, and the peculiar capacity OF the
arresting officer as a deputy of Chief White.
Deputy County Attorney Dunn commended
that every authorized police officer is prac-
tically adeputy of the chief.
In the original warrant Buckovis was
charged with assault with intent to commit
murder. There were two counts in the
complaint, however, the second being the
charge Of assault with intent to commit
great bodily injury, but the latter one is
said to have been inserted after the arrest.
On the point of the jurisdiction of the
police court as to the power OF Judge Cor
don to bind over for an offense different
from the one charged, Buckovis' attorney,
Louis Berka, argued that Judge Gordon
could not do this on a mere preliminary
hearing. In this respect the preliminary
hearing in the police court differed from a
trial in the district court, because the jur-
isdiction of the court On a trial is broader.
Berka also recalled that ex-Chief Seavey
formally deputized his captains and SER
geants at City Attorney Poppleton's ad-
vice, but on the other hand Mr.. Dunn
showed that there is no authority whatever
in the city charter for the appointment OF
any deputies OF the chief OF police.
Judge Slabaugh deferred his decision q
day to hear further argument.

Mother Wants tn Know.

OMAHA. Jan. 9.-To the Editor of The
Bee: ! appeal to you for a little assistance
IN regard to our boys in the Omaha schools
and / am at a loss what to say.
] really think some OF the principals of
our schools do our boys a great injustice,
without a thought or consideration. 1t is a
fact. II some principals want anything down
town or at the city hall some OF the boys
have to leave their school work and go.
Sometimes they get their car fare paid. II
parents or pupils should complain the prin-
cipals would feel very much hurt. / cannot
help but think that this Is wrong.
My boy was sent downtown the other day
and as a consequence I was up all night
with him. and now before he is fairly re-
covered he has to 20 again. II the principals
have to be waited on. why not propose TO
the board to have someone assigned for that
purpose and reduce such principals wages,
80 they will not Interfere with the chiidren's
school work. A MOTHER.
