Ask We'll Earned Relief.

Even the brave Gen. Funston and
his equally distinguished Kansas reg
iment feel the strain and hardship of
the Philippine campaign. Believing
that the Kansas soldiers in the Philip
pines have done their full duty,
Brig. Gen. Funston has written to the
governor and other state officers and
friends in Topeka. suggesting that
intercession with the president to
have the Kansas regiment sent home
at once will be appreciated. Gen.
Funston is cautious in his commune
cations to convey the idea that the
Kansans are not making themselves
liable to the charge of insubordina-
ton in this matter by making this
request, yet he says: They have
stuck to their posts. every man of
them. and are entitled to relief.
Now that SO many regular troops are
here, / believe the Kansas boys would
like to get home. Not a man of them
has asked me to take this liberty l
simply do it because / am sure the
men would appreciate it. They have
been at the front constantly and bear
the marks of the rough campaign"
Continuing, Gen. Funston says: Il
wish Kansas people. all the people of
the great state, could have witnessed
the advance of the Kansas boys.
Nothing bewildered them. They were
always going forward, through jun
giles, over intrenchments, wading
streams, tearing down wire fences and
battering down earthworks. never
looking back. 1t was an inspiring
and glorious sight. The Kansas grit
was always in evidence, and the pride
of Kansas should be her gallant sons
who so creditably acquitted them
selves in these conflicts

WHAT is THE USE?
No Need to Go Through Life a
Sufferer.
Means of Relief Near at Hand and Rec
omended by People You Know.

What is the use to 90 on suffering
with kidney backache, nervousness,
steeplessness and dizziness when a
50-cent box of Morrow's Kid-ne-oids
will cure you? Probably you have
not heard of Kid-ne-oids, so if you
will read this statement it viii pay
yeui ten folti.,.
We give you as reference George
Wilt. a cigar manufacturer, who
lives at 343 New street. Peoria, III.
He says: Il have suffered for some
time with pain in my back and
through my kidneys. which were very
weak, and on that account L had TO
pass urine frequently The urine
contained so much uric acid that it
caused much pain to pass it; it was
also highly colored and the odor was
offensive. 1 tried many different
kinds of remedies, but without any
permanent relief. Kid-ne-oids gave
me immediate relief, and l heartily
recommend them to anyone suffering
in this way, because Kid-ne-oids give
you relief and there are no bad effects
after usiLg them; they strengthen
and build up the system
Is this sufficient evidence to con-
vince you that Morrow's Kid-ne-oids
are a wonderful remedy for all form
of kidney disorders? Kid-ne-oids are
not pills, but yellow tablets, which is
a scientific form of preparation of
medicine. They are put in wooden
boxes which contain enough for
about two weeks treatment and sell
at 80 cents box at NJ. F. Bahnsen's
drug store.

The Doom of John Riley.

The Chicago Times-Herald having
done Senator j. b. Foraker to a finish.
has turned its guns from Ohio state
politics to the Illinois political field.
The Times-Herald comments editori-
ally on what it terms Tanner Plot
Against Illinois," and dwells on the
situation as one the people of Illinois
must meet and defeat. Not con-
tent" says the Times-Herald with
having made the name of the chief
executive of Illinois n Kissing and a
reproach throughout the nation, John
r. Tanner is plotting with William
Lorimer to perpetuate the infamy; or,
if that is impossible, to foist himself
into the seat of Shelby NJ. Cullom in
the United States senate Gov. Tan
ner has announced that he can be re-
nominated without the help of a
single delegate from Cook county
That expresses his confidence in the
Superiority of his machine to the con-
science and sense of decency of the
voters of the state. Now content
with the situation in the state at large,
he turns to Congressman Lorimer and
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1899-07-06

asks him to deliver enough Cook coun-
ty delegates TO take the curse of sec
sectionalism from a subsidized re-
nomination Lorimer promises to
study the situation and report pro-
gress. If LOrimer possesses one grain
of the political astuteness with which
he is credited he will report TO his as
sociate conspirator that Chicago and
Cook county are unalterably opposed
to the denomination of John X. Tan
ner. He will tell him that neither
Tanner himself nor any ticket or can
didate tinctured with Tannerism can
carry Cook county. That his name is
both a byword and blight. That
there is not republican ward in Chi
cago that will send Tanner delega-
tion to a state convention. But more
than this, Lorimer should report that
the situation in 1900 will be altogether
different from what it was when Tan
ner was elected in 1896. Re-
Publicans realized their mistake be-
fore Tanner had been governor six
months. They know that he is black
er than he was painted. Every day
of his term has only increased their
disgust that they did not follow the
example of the Times-Herald. They
now feel that they were innocent par
ties to the desecration of the COVER
norship of Illinois. Should Tanner
be renominated these deceived and re-
sentful republicans will not take tor
the woods, but by thousands and tens
of thousands will march up to the
polls and vote for any honest, sober,
decent man the democrats may name. "

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the eustachian tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma-
tion can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed
condition of the mucous surface.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-
lars, free.

verdict being reached by 10 o'clock at

tude of the jury. The generally ex-
pressed opinion of those Who nave fol-
lowed the trial since it's beginning on
Monday of last week is that the YER
dict will be an acquittal. Many, how
ever, look for a disagreement. Their
are but few who express the belief
that a verdict of guilty will be given.
Today's proceedings were confined
entirely to argument n speeches by
counsel, the defence deciding to pre-
sent no testimony.
Mr.. Watson began the day by re-
questing that the case be withdrawn
from the jury and a verdict of not gull
ty rendered. He contended hat the
commonwealth had utterly failed to
make out a case against Mr.. Quay.
Judge Biddle determined the issues
were those for a jury to decide and he
ruled that it be gone through with in
the usual way.
Mr.. Shields here announced the de-
fences intention to lake no testimony
and, under the rules of the court, he
thus obtained the privilege of making
but one. the last, speech to the jury.
District Attorney RothermeI spoke
for one hour; Mr.. Shields followed for
one hour and three quarters and Judge
