New York Legislatures Extra Session
Albany, May 12.-There will un-
doubtedly be an extra session of the
legislature for the double purpose of
amending the Ford franchise tax bill
and passing over the veto of the mayo"
of New York the rapid transit bill. The
pith Of the argument against the Ford
franchise tax bill is that it is to be ad-
ministered by local authorities and
that the local authorities will admin
lister it just as they please and in
different ways. imposing a heavy tax
in some instances and a light tax in
others, as best suits the wishes Of the
local board.

What Shall We Do.

A serious and dangerous disease prevails
in this country, dangerous because so decep-
tive. 1t comes on so slowly yet surely that it
is often firmly seated before we are aware Of it.
The name Of this disease which may be
divided into three distinct stages is, First,
Kidney trouble, indicated by pain in the back,
rheumatism, lumbago, frequent desire to
urinate often with burning sensation, the
flow of urine being copious or scant with
strong odor
If allowed to advance, this reaches the
Second stage, or Bladder trouble, with heavy
pain in the abdomen low down between the
navel and the water passage, increasing de-
sire to urinate, with scalding sensation in
passing, small quantities being passed with
difficulty, sometimes necessary to draw it
with instruments. If uric acid or gravel has
formed, it will prove dangerous if neglected.
The Third stage is Bright's Disease.
There is comfort in knowing that DIR.
Kilmer, the great kidney and bladder
specialist, has discovered a Remedy famous
for its marvellous cures of the most distressing
casSs and known as DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root.
1t is sold by all druggists.
AS proof of the wonderful virtues of this
great discovery, Swamp Root, sample bottle
and book of valuable information will be sent
absolutely free by mail on application to Dr.

Spanish Cannon at National Museum.
Washington, May 12.-The National
Museum in this city has received from
Admiral Dewey two cannon captured
from the Spaniards when Cavite fell.
In one of them two shells and a grape
shot were found, and the museum Of
ficials are wondering whether it had
been loaded by the Spaniards during
the fight and incautiously sent home
by the gallant admiral. There was au
incipient panic at the museum when
the discovery was made that the can
non was loaded. A gunner, summoned
from the navy yard, extracted the
shells. The transport Buffalo, which
reached New York several days ago,
has six cannon from naval officers at
Manila consigned to the museum. The
