Women Should Know 1t.

Many women suffer untold agony and
misery because the nature of their dis
ease is not correctly understood. They
have been led to believe that womb
trouble or female weakness of some sort
is responsible for the many ills that be.
set womankind.
Neuralgia, nervousness, headache
puffy or dark circles under the eyes,
rhumatism, dragging pain or dull ache
in the back, weakness or bearing. down
sensation, profuse or scanty supply of
urine with strong odor, frequent desire
TO pass it with scalding or burning sen.
sation, sediment in it after standing in
bottle or common glass for "a hours, are
signs of kidney and bladder trouble.
The above symptoms are often attrib.
uted by the patient herself or by her
physician to female weakn or womb
trouble. Hence, so many fail to obtain
relief, because they are treating, not the
disease itself, but reflection of the pri-
mary cause, which is kidney trouble.
In fact, women as well as mon are
made miserable with kidney and bladder
trouble and both need the same remedy.

II is pretty tough charge to bring
against Mckinley and his party that
they encourage horse stealing. But lest
some Of our fusion friends forget it we
suggest that there may be some truth In
it, From 1893 to 1897 there was prob
ably less horse stealing in Nebraska
than there has been in the same length
of time since the state was settled. Dis.
patches from different parts of Nebraska
show that there is nm alarming increase
Of horse stealing ut the present time
This is undoubtedly due to the McKin'
ley administration. Since 1t came into
power horses have rapidly and steadily
risen in value. Before.that they were
worth little. Farmers who want tc
keep their horses and feel perfectly Sc.
cure with their barn doors unlocked
nights, should vote the democratic
ticket. Republicanism. when in the sad.
die, always nccessitates the purchase OF
new locks and mn extra shot gun to
properly protect valuable property.

A democratic contemporary asks, lis
IL possible that in order to have prosper
ity in this country everything the farm
or buys must be advanced 100 per cent
and everything he sells must 20 lower
and lower?" No, 1t is not, neither is
that the condition Of things at present,
as the questioner would imply. 1t is
true that prices of everything, almost
without exception, are rising, and no
class of people in this country are being
benefited more by this than the produc-
ers. 1t is essential, IL the nation is to
be prosperous, that the farmers do well.
1t is q fact that never in the history
of this country were the farmers Of the
west doing better than they are doing
today. 1t is universally admitted that
they have more money in their posses
sion and are paying off debts faster than
heretofore. 1t is true that the advance
in prices and wages which is now taking
place all over the country is an indica-
ton Of genuine prosperity. 1t is true
that in 1896 the democratic party, under
the leadership Of w. J. Bryan, contend
ed that what was needed, if the COM
mon people were to be benefited, was
an 'era of rising prices" 1t is true
that the republican party, under the
leadership of William Mckinley, has
brought about that era and the people
are now busy as bees reaping the results
Of it. 1t is hard OH the democratic party
to be 80 treated, but it is salready shifting
its position and in view Of the rise in
prices, getting ready to cry robbery

Foundations in Peril.

For nearly week past this commun.
ity has been stirred to its very depths by
revelations of such character that they
have brought the blush Of shame to the
cheek and kindled the fires of wrath
and indignation in every true breast
against the participants Of deed SO vile
as to be nameless.
The NEWS was prompt to speak of the
ugly rumors afloat last week and has
nothing now, more than it had at the
time when it first alluded to the theme,
Of palliation or excuse to offer in behalf
of those who were charged with the
shameful offense.
1t is said that there is no law under
which prosecutions can be made against
the parties concerned. If it is true then
there is certainly something very seri.
ously wrong with the statutes Of Ne
braska. There 10 q common ground
upon which all men, who have any re-
gard for those committed to their care,
can stand. That place the people of
Norfolk have reached. They may differ
as to many other things, but they are
agreed as one man that such debauchery
and lust as is charged in this case is not
to be condoned or further tolerated.
Some one has said that 1.-THE hearth.
stone is the foundation stone of the re.
public" A community can afford loss
Of property, it may be obliged to meet
some awful visitation of death or disas.
ter, which shall bring sadness and sor.
row. All these may have their compen-
sations, but there can be none for
the whitening, bhghting influence
Of those who. lost to all sense Of personal
honor, OF manly impulses, would under
mine and destroy not only life, but
character. The charges made in this
case are too loathsome to contemplate.
The parties to them should be given q
fair and full opportunity to offer any
testimony they may have to offer bu,
the fact that they have left the town il
in itself presumptive evidence of theil
guilt. THE NEWS has no desire to pre-.
Judge any case. 1t believes that in time
like this, candor, good sense and q Judi
cial temper should prevail, but never
theless the spirit of the people which
demands that justice be meted
out and that a ban be placed
upon those who outrage public decency
is q credit to the manhood and woman
hood Of Norfolk and an honor to peo
pie whose sons and daughters are theil
dearest possessions. However much, o.
however little truth there may be in tn,
allegations made, legal prosecution il
some form ought to be possible. 1

do to purify the moral atmosphere.

boastings of ''lewd fellows of the base
sort" over their escapades it would show

abiding city, insists that such damnabl
beastliness is neither to be counte
nanced nor condoned.
