official death warrant for Armstead Tay-
lor, the condemned murderer of Dora Ros-
enstein, but he has not read it to him

guilty until he heard it from his own lips,

present to the governor a petition signed
by at least 500 citizens of Frederick for
executive clemency. has evidently been un-
successful In his efforts. Mr.. Etchison an
nounces that he has abandoned these in
tentions and has washed his hands of the
whole case, and he will make no attempt
to interfere with the execution of the sem
tence of the court.
Brown claims to be of the Catholic faith.
Rev. Osborne Ingle, rector of All Saints
Protestant Episcopal Church. has called on
him. Brown still continues in his high
state of nervousness and maintains his in

distinguished visitor would be carefully
followed.
This declaration is said to have been
promoted by some suggestions previously
| made by Prince Henry to Korean Ministers
in the sense that Korea would probably
fare better II, instead of allowing Russia
and Japan to fill the whole vista of her
| foreign affairs, she included Germany as a
counterbalance.

Princes visit are also spoken Of Thus in
the matter of the Seoul Gensen Railway,

have been the object of competition be-
tween Americans, Russians. and Germans,

the Press Censorship.

Cincinnati, July 20.-Brig. Gen. Thomas
NJ. Anderson, Captain Palmer, chief quar-
termaster at Fort Thomas, and Lieuten-
ant Reeder, adjutant, who arrived here
yesterday, visited the Oakley track
in the afternoon, inspected the
grounds, and left half and hour
later. The general was favorably
impressed and said that the Thirty first
Regiment would certainly be mobilized
there is case a reasonable rental could be
arranged and the departments consent
secured. Fort Thomas has no drill grounds
sufficiently large. To reporter General
Anderson said it was highly improbable
that he would succeed General Otis at
Manila. 1T is absurd" he added, that
/ promised complete independence to the
Filipinos through Aguinaldo. I had no
authority to do this, and l certainly would
not take upon myself the responsibility
to make a promise of that nature. 1t has
been two months since l left Manila, and
all l know is what l hear; but l don t
think there is anything wonderful about
the censorship of the press. 1t was the
same thing during the Civil War. The
commanding officer certainly has the right
to act in regard to the news sent here,
and it seems in the present case that he
is doing it,

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

Pains and aches come from excess Of
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-
Bile. II 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.
