Republican Prosperity.

Republican Prosperity.
The increase in the savings banks de-
posits is a simple but ~effectual test of
increased prosperity among the people.
The increase in savings bank deposits
in Davenport for the year ending Octo-
Der, 1893, was in excess Of those for the
year ending October, 1897, by the large
sum Of $794,S54. This is proof that the
people Of Scott County have more gen.
orally a surplus from their earnings
than in the year 1897, for the savings
deposits represent a great many de-
positors. 1t is a prosperity among the
people that a Republican administra-
ton Of the nations affairs represents

Similar testimony is supplied by
'Bradstreet's' as follows:
Probably never before at this date was
the course of general business so ami
mated as it is ut present. Speculative
activity is no longer confined to the stock
market, but has widened to include wheat
and corn among the cereals and copper
among the metals, while the rush of
business in iron N steel seems little, if
any, abated, and some lines, notably cot
ton goods and raw wool, are displaying
IN activity and strength which would
have been welcomed at any time for n
year past. Prices of securities and of
staples alike furnish examples of aggres-
sivc strength.
In many lines the country's produc-
ton of manufactured products has
been heavily sold ahead, and there APP
pears every reason to believe that pres
| ent values will be maintained or in
| creased.
"Bradstreet's" says that the bank
clearings for the week aggregate ST.
VI 100000, a gain of % per cent. over
this week a year ago, Of So per cent.
over 1896, of 45 per cent. over 1895,
very nearly twice as large as in 1894
and 1893 and 10 per cent. larger than
in this week Of 1892, which up to this
year was the heaviest week on record.
"Dun's Review" makes this obser-
walton in closing its review for Deem
Der and for the year: "How Europe
will be able to pay more than $751;
100000 due on merchandise account for
the month Of December, besides the
enormous balances due for November
and previous months, is a question
which the country can afford to con
slider at its leisure and with comfort .
The Old Year goes out in a blaze of
splendor. The New Year comes in with
the assured promise Of increased hap
piness, liberty and prosperity for many

DIR. K1LMER's REMEDIES.
DIR. KILMER'S sWAMP-ROOT
Is Not Recommended for Everything
But if You Have Kidney or Bladder
Trouble 1t Will Be Found Just
the Remedy You Need.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind,
discourages and lessons ambition:
beauty. vigor and cheerfulness soon
disannear when the kidneys are out Of
order or diseased.
Kidney trouble has become so preva-
lent that it is not uncommon for
child to be born afflicted with weak kid
news. If the child urinates too often.
if the urine scalds the flesh, or if, when
the child reaches an age when 1t should
be able to control the passage, and 1t
is vet afflicted with bed-wetting, de-
pend upon it, the cause Of the difficulty
is kidney trouble, and the first step
should be toward the treatment OF these
important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition
of the kidneys and bladder and not to
a habit as most people suppose.
So we find that women as we'll as
men are made miserable with kidney
and bladder trouble and both need the
same remedy. The mild and the i'm
mediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t is sold by druggists, in
fifty-cent and one dollar sizes. You

fense in the Desirello murder case is about
completed. Tomorrow morning the de-
fendant Will take the stand and explain
TO the jury just how the shooting oc
CURED and how young Johnston came to

been TO discredit the witnesses for the

horses he said. were not travelling fast.
When the wagon reached the point op-
posite the White House he saw q man

TO shoot. that he did not call to the boys
10 hold up. as Mrs. Desirello afterward
testified.
After a few more witnesses for the
prosecution had testified concerning un-
important matters, the case for the
people was closed and Mr.. Walker made
his statement to the jury. Mrs. DesireliO,
wife Of the defendant, was then sworn.
She said that she and her husband left
their home in Baden at o'clock in the
morning of the day IN question, and went
to San Francisco on business. From
there they returned to Colma, where de-
fendant had business at the coursing
park. She did not see him again until
after o'clock in the afternoon. at which

Beli's store From the store she walked
UP to the White House and saw her
husband talking with Mr.. Murphy. While
waiting here her attention was attracted
by a noise up the road. and soon she
saw the team driven by VaCcari tearing
down on her. She saw her husband run
out toward it and attempt to stop the
horses. She heard him call out to the
boys to hold up several times. as they
were driving too fast She then saw him
start TO run after the team and shoot in
the air. The team kept going and he
after it. Two shots were all she heard.
When she reached the store crowd had
gathered about young Johnston. who was
on the porch, and she. spoke to her
husband. saying: My God, Fred. what
have you done. Have YOU shot the boy?'
To which h replied il was an accident.
He did not mean to shoot any one. but
shot to kill the horses.
Mrs Desirello was positive in all her
statements. and in cross-eXaminatlOn
was not shaken. A number of other wit
nesses being called stated that defend
ant said he thought the horses were run
ming away and somebody be in
jured. and that he shot at the horses
intending TO cripple them and not to in
