KIDNEY TROUBLE.
The Most Prevalent, Dangerous
and Deceptive Disease.
Thousands Have 1t and DON'T Know
IL.

Pains and aches come from excess CT
uric acid in the blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes
quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes
one feel as though they had heart trouble,
because the heart is over working to pump
the thick kidney-poisoned blood through
the veins and arteries.
Soreness or uncomfortable feeling in the
back indicates kidney trouble of no small
Importance.
The passing of scanty or profuse guam
titles of urine is warning of kidney trou-
bic. If you want to feel well you can
make no mistake by first doctoring your
kidneys.
The famous new discovery, DR.. Kill
mer's Swamp Root, is the true specific for
kidney, bladder and urinary troubles. 1t
has cured thousands of apparently hope
less cases after all other efforts have
failed

time Like a flash the engine came over
the embankment without touching the
sides of the wall. 1t dropped into the Jer-
sey Central train. striking the second car

WALL Street DEALINGS
Foreign Houses Unloading Shares
in the Market.
Sharp Declines Noted I'm Various
Quarters-BrOOklyn Rapid Transit
COnspicuOusly Weak - Operations
Influenced by the Foreign Po-
IiticaI and Financial situation.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-Foreign houses
continued heavy sellers in this market
upon the opening of business here. In a
few stocks a considerable degree of firm
ness existed; conspicuous examples being
St. Paul, Burlington and Quincy, and Su
gar eRfining. The declines elsewhere were
somwhat extended from one-half point to
two points. Brooklyn Rapid Transit was.
conspicuously weak and active. Sharp de-
clines were noted in Colorado Fuel and
Iron, Anaconda, and Norfolk and Western,

The fluctuations after the initial dealings
were erratic. In addition to the influence
upon the market from the foreign politi-
cal and financial situation the local, none
tary stringency was also q factor in induc-
ing liquidation although the opinion was
commonly held that materially easier con-
ditions will be witnessed before the close

EXPANSION A NECESSITY
Fervent Expressions of a Methodist

JOHNSTOwN, Pa, Oct. ST am
heartily for expansion and We are going
TO expand" said Bishop Fowler, of Buff
falo, at the close of the session of the
Pittsburg Methodist Episcopal Conference.
This is a nation for that" he continued,
and we have no more right TO try TO stop
il than we have to try to check the work of
the foreign missionary societies. 1t is a
great missionary movement and it is bound
TO succeed. The struggle will be long
one, but the Filipinos will finally be
brought to realize what is best for them.
The war there differs little from the war
in Cuba, though the results hoped for are
the same. The Filipinos are a patriotic
people who have shown how they can fight,
and this is just the kind OF people We
make good citizens of. They are obsti-
nate but they are like pupils in this re-
spect; they must be tanned down; weeded
out. True, it will cost lots of American
blood, but ] know OF no better way to
serve ones country than TO offer life for
it. Though this is a strong form OF argu-
ment with them it is the only method and
il is right from humanitarian point Of
view. Then they will get what they never
got under Spanish rule.
Like other churches, We have estab-
lished missions in the Philippine Islands,
but the work is at a stand still and it will
remain so until the natives are convinced
that they are wrong. The only way 70
convince them is by force of arms. ] do
not think that they should ever be consid-
cred part Of our people or ever be given
voice in our affairs OF state, but think
the United States should assume control
over them until they have shown ability
enough 10 control themselves.
We need the Philippines and they will
come in handy sometime when We need
coal The situation in the east demands
that the United States shall have an ori-
entail rendezvous China offers a market
We cannot afford to overlook, a market
for the overproduction of this nation, and
this market can be gauged and protected
from such a point as the Philippines offer.
Uncle sam wants a finger in the Chinese
pie and he is bound TO get it. The well
fare of the nation in part hinges on this
and that's why ] am so heartily in favor
OF expansion"
Many at the conference condemn the
Bishops remarks by saying he has de-
clared in favor of murder.

AsPHYxIATED OR POISONED.
Mystery Surrounding the Death of
Three Chicago PennIe

CHICAGO, Oct. 3.-Three persons were
found dead at 1902 State Street last night.
They had been dead for two days and are
supposed to have been asphyxiated by fuel
gas from a range. The dead are Mrs. Kate
Jungels, thirty-five years old, widow; John
Jungels, her son, fourteen years old. and
Fred Teidt, thirty-fve years old, who
boarded with Mrs. Jungels.
There is some mystery surrounding the
case as the police found the gas burning ia
one of the rooms. Some OF the other ten
ants were attracted by the odor from the
bodies and this is thought to have started
the story that the three were smothered by
gas. The police think Mrs. Jungels, her
son, and Teidt might have been poisoned

Gen. Otis. The despatch is as follows:
Manila, October 2.
Adjutant General, Washington:
Three insurgent officers permitted to enter our
lines at Angeles with twelve of our soldiers and
two citizens, whom they wished to present as re-
leased prisoners. Yesterday in conference endeav-
ored to present communication from insurgent
government, which declined; then presented
paper signed by ten of the soldiers, in which
soldiers gave parole; this received and held in
allowance; insurgent officers then said that Agui-
naldo desired to end war and send civil commit
tee for conference, and informed that it
would not be received. They will be sent beyond
the lines tomorrow. The whole affair to be ruse
to obtain some acknowledgement by United States
Government. All soldiers returned were strag-
glers from within lines captured by robbers;
they say they were obliged to sign parole to Sc
cure release, though two refused to sign. The
whole affair of significance; viewed as at
tempt at masquerading OTIS.

were identified with the scheme to organ
ize trust among the large oyster grow

lations of the men back of the enterprise
and they abandoned hope Of being able to
do anything for perhaps several years.

The stock market this morning was very
much like that of yesterday, with an open
ing at material concessions in prices all
over the list and little disposition apparent
TO buy stocks even at the lower level.
There was the same uncertainty over the
Transvaal situation and money continued
tight Added TO this the yacht race was
on and many brokers gave up business aft
er the first hour or two. The early trad
ing was featureless with a steady decline
almost everywhere. The grangers, the
coalers, the Vanderbilts, and the Goulds
all went off from fraction to a point or
more from yesterdays low prices, and the
industrials generally were even weaker.
Sugar and the Leather issues showed some
disposition to hold up in price Money
during the morning, at one time was quot
ed at "A per cent and at another at 6 per
cent and there was good reason TO expect
that this erratic condition would continue,
which would naturally mean that little or
no headway could be made with a rally
The general expectation seemed to be that
not much is to be expected of the market
this week. IL is believed by careful people
however, that stocks should be bought on
this break for fine advance later in the
season. The money situation is sure to be
easier in a short time and all the i'll ef-
fects of a war in the Transvaal have been
discounted.

The Louisville and Nashville statement
for August is fine one. The gross earn
ings for the month We're s., 290, 009, an in
crease OF S423,265, and the net earnings
were $l11, 500, an increase of S20S 600. The
gross earnings from July / were 81, 456, ,229
an increase of SIG, and the net for the
same period 1,502 425, an increase of $685.
155 The best feature of this report is the
fact that the Louisville management has
not adopted the St. Paul policy of eating
up all the increase in gross earnings in
operating expenses. The net has increased
half as much as the gross. To anyone ia
miliar with the great showing made by this
system last year this immense increase
for the first two months of the new year
will be most significant of large posslbili-
ties in the way of big dividends. Louis
vile went off to new low level in price
this morning much to the disappointment
of many who had believed that the report
of the company would help the stock.
