We do not always know the constant dan
ger that confronts Ills through all the daily
walks of life. 1t may be an accident or
sudden illness; or perhaps. disease that
has been stealing upon us from day to day.
1t used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all diseases have their beginning in the dis
order of these most important organs.
Now by this is not meant that you should
overlook all the other organs and merely
look after the kidneys.
Your other organs may need attention
but your kidneys most, because they do
most.
If you are sick do not neglect your kid
neys, because as soon as they are well,
they will help all the other organs to
health
The kidneys may get weak or diseased
from a thousand and one causes; from
overwork, worry, simple cold, from lifting,
a strain, or excess in high living.
Others may suffer from diabetes, dropsy,
swelling of the feet and ankles, rheuma-
tism, bad blood, gout, gravel, catarrh of
the bladder, seeplessness, anaemia ner
vousness, headache or neuralgia.
All these symptoms are due to kidney
trouble, and the most prompt and effectual
cure is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great
kidney remedy.

Twentyffth and Cunning streets and thence
in a southwesterly course to Thlrtieth and
Leavenworth Taking another route from
the same entrance, he could emerge west
OF the exposition grounds. one might also
enter the main at Twentieth and Farnam
streets and make his way either to the river
at Sixth and Jones streets or to Krug's
brewery near South Omaha The sewers
along the routes mentioned are from three
to eight and a half feet in diameter and
usually contain water to the depth OF twelve
inches. There would be no danger OF as
phyxiatlon, but in case OF rain the fugitive
might be in danger of drowning. The bot
toms are all a solid pavement of brick and
he would encounter no quagmires such as
nearly brought death to the hero Of Les
Miserables"
The city engineer says he has frequently
sent his gangs through the mains on tours
OF inspection and the concrete and brick
work have always been reported in good
condition. He says that after other public
work Of more immediate importance have
been disposed Of that he intends to give
tho sewers a thorough investigation. Dams
will be erected at intervals and the contents
temporarily diverted into other channels to
allow masons to work on tho bottom. All
irregularities or depreesions which might
retard the flow Of sewage will be filled in
evenly with concrete. The men will work
by the aid OF electric lights which will be
carried through the channels as the work
progresses.

whats downright mean?"

Wnat S downright mean
"Why, the way ex-senator Allen is act
ing" exclaimed a well-known Omaha
fusionist yesterday. Here he came down
to Omaha today and spent several hours at
his hotel and then went back home in the
afternoon without doing a thing, A whole
lot of us went to him and asked him if he
wouldn't pull out of the race for the sena-
toral vacancy in favor of Hitchcock.
Il thought you fellows had all endorsed
me only year ago. responded the senator.
You told me you were for me first last and
all the time What's happened to make
you change your minds so suddenly?'
THAT was a stumper. OF course, we
didn't dare to tell him that we hadn't
changed our minds, but that we were Just
running big bluff on him last year and
didn't mean half what we said.
He had quite a lot of callers during the
afternoon and some of them laid down on
him pretty hard, but I'm afraid just as
many took the other end because when he
got through they seemed to have stiffened
his back and he didn't weaken bit.
But just wait till the governor comes
down here next Monday. Well show him
thing or two. We have organized this town
so that they will have to line UP and take
numbers in order to get at him. Every
mothers son who holds a public job under
a fusion official or expects to has instruc-
tions to join in the siege.
Did you notice what Ransom did in
lining up the silver republicans? He's going
to get even for Bill Paxton getting cinched
on Bartley's bond Did you notice, tco how
Scott came in? The judge knows who has
been helping him. It's too bad, however,
about the silver republicans-that there are
so few of them. Why. they couldn't get
corporal's guard out to the meeting.
But then there's the Jacksonians the
County Democracy, the Peter Coopers and
all the rest. It's pretty hard for some of
them to turn somersaults on their records
They've all boosted Allen so hard in the
past. But then there are ways of turning
them.

Baker yesterday on the charge of assault
with intent to do great bodily harm He
might have been acquitted in regular form
or he might have been convicted, but for
the fact that there was a fatal defect in the
information, which forced Judge Baker to
sustain a motion to quash.
The point raised was that the transcript
from police court in South Omaha, where
the defendant was arrested, gave his name
"John Doe. real name unknown" while the
county attorney in his information stated
it John Doe, real name Harry Brown" The
