MOROCCO SETTLES CLAIM.
Moorish Sultan Does Not Walt For
 American warshfp.

Washington, Dec. 19.-A message from United States Consul Gummere at Tangier informs the state department that the Moorish government has set tied the claim of the United States for S5, 900 indemnity on account of the mur- der of Marcus Eszagui, a naturalized American citizen, in Morocco last spring,
 Eszagui was of French birth, but the fact that he was naturalized as an Amer. lean citizen relieved the French govern ment from the necessity of joining in the demand for indemnity. The Moorish government pleaded as a basis for its first declination to pay the fact that the man was killed, not by Moorish officers, but in a fight with the rabble. The claim for indemnity, however, was based on the failure of the Moorish govern ment to make any effort to arrest or pun ish the perpetrators of the murder.
 The navy department, at the instance of the state department, was making ar engagements to send a naval vessel to Morocco to give moral support to the de- mands of the American consul for a set clement.

Washington, Dec. 19.-The report from London that Ambassador Choate is com ing home was a surprise to the officials of the state department. It was said in Secretary Hays office that Mir. Choate would hardly return without notifying the department, and he had not done SO. If he applied for leave of absence, it was said, the application would be grant ed immediately. The officials think that MT. Choate has no intention of resigning his mission, but they say that the death of his law partner, Mir. Beaman, proba- ply makes It necessary for him to pay a visit to New York, particularly as the other partner, MT. Evarts, is not able to attend to active work.

To Test the Wonderful Curative Properties of Swamp-
Root, Every " National Tribune - Reader May Have
a Sample Bottle Sent Free by Mail.

The way TO be well is to pay attention
to your kidneys.
They are the most important organs OF
the body-the blood filters.
All the blood in your body passes
through your kidneys once every three
minutes.
The kidneys strain or filter out the i'm
purities of the blood-that is their work
Therefore when your kidneys are weak
or out of order you can understand how
quickly your entire body is affected, and
how every organ seems to fail to do its
duty.
If you are sick or feel badly" begin
taking the famous new discovery, DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-ROot, because as soon
as your kidneys are well they will help
all the other organs to health. A trial
will convince anyone.
Mr. Link. in writing to DR.. Kilmer & Co,
RinghamtOn. y. Y, says: Il was suffering
with bad kidney trouble. / took a few bot
ties of the large size Swamp-ROot. 1t is the
best medicine | ever used. 1t has cured me
and / now stand ready to recommend it to
everybody suffering from kidney and blad-
der trouble. Il am indeed thankful TO have
found such remedy"

make hre is like getting up in life. If
you crawl timidly out of bed go on tip
toe to the stove, and allow the shivers to
get control of you before the kindling
starts, your fire will probably be failure
and you will half freeze to death in the
operation. But if you jump up bravely,
hustle around, pull on your clothes, knock
over chair or two and pitch in the stove
wood, you will probably be too warm be-
fore the fire gets to burning and have to
open the window. So in life Attack it
timidly and you will fail. Grapple with
it, hurry up things, stir around, conquer
fortune and you will be success. But
to this is attached one ever-prevailing
condition-you must be well. You must
