Washington, April 1s.-Senato John
Z. Morgan. OF Alabama. a leading
member of the foreign relations COM
mittee. when asked for an expression
on the Samoan problem, said: There
is only one permanent solution Of the
Samoan question. That is a partition
of the island by the three great pow

formed a commission to reconcile the
differences between themselves and
the native Samoans."
The secretary of state in converse
ton said that neither of the three
powers to the treaty OF Berlin had
scored victory in the arrangement
of the Samoan matter, nor suffered
defeat All three of them were, he
believed, actuated by the same desire
to reach peaceable and honorable
solution of state of things, which
was not only most regrettab BILE at this
time. but likely, if neglected, to go
rapidly from bad to worse.

Life Saved by Swamp-Root.
The Great Discovery That Cures Kid
aey and Bladder Troubles.

Statistics prove that more people are
brought to the grave by diseases of the
kidneys and bladder than by any other
disease.
For many years medical science has
been trying to discover some remedy
that would positively overcome these
dangerous troubles.
But not until recently was the discov-
cry made. Doctor Kilmer. the eminent
physician and scientist, after years of
study and research, and after test on
test that never varied in the grand re-
suit, announcedt the discovery of Swamp
Root, which has proven itself most
wonderful cure for all diseases of the
kidneys and bladder.
While Swamp-Root has proven such
remarkable success in curing kidney and
bladder diseases, it has also proved
equally invaluable in the cure of blood
diseases, rheumatism, liver and stomach
troubles and in the regulation and cure
of all uric acid troubles.
Swamp-Root has been tested in so
many ways, in hospital work, in private
practice, among the helpless too poor to
purchase relief, and has proved SO sue
cessful in every case, that special ar
rangement has been made by which all
readers of this paper, who have not al
ready tried it, may have sample bottle
sent absolutely free by mail. Also u
book telling more about Swamp-Root
and containing some of the thousands

ceived from men and women who owe
their good health. in fact, their very

dress to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton,
N. Y.
This great modern discovery is for
sale at most drug-stores in ffty-cent
and one-dollar sizes.

Chicago, April 1s.-The railroads
have made a new rule for the Grand

them to be used by the veterans for

Suggestions for Spring Cleaning.

Much of the labor of house cleaning may
be avoided by the exercise of good judg-

must be selected for the work, usually the
first of May is the best time to begin. Every
thing should be in readiness beforehand.
Brooms, brushes, tacks and strings should
be provided. The windows and paints can
be perfectly cleaned by washing with warm
water and Ivory Soap; the free use of lime
and borax will purify and deodorize the
