What Ais You?
Is 1t Your Kidneys? Try This
Test and See.

Why ask a physician to find out wheth-
er your kidneys are diseased. Take q
glass tumbler and fill it with urine. If
there is a sediment after standing twenty
four hours, your kidneys are sick. If
you have a desire to urinate often, a pain
in the back, or If your urine stains linen,
you should at once take DR.. David Ken
nody's Favorite Remedy, as delay is dan
gerous. There Is no question about its be-
ing the best and sureSt medicine IN the
world for any and all diseases of the Kid
neys, Liver, Bladder and of the urinary
passages, rheumatism, Dyspepsia con-
stipation of the bowels, and the sickness
eS peculiar to women. 1t quickly relieves
inability to hold urine, and the necessity
of getting up often during the night. II
stops that scalding pain when passing
urine and corrects the bad effects OF
whiskey and beer.

II cannot enact a law making ma ximum
rates, and then proceed to make excep-
tlons to 1t in favor of such persons or
classes as in the legislative judgment or
caprice may seem proper. We are con-
WINGED that the Legislature cannot thus
interfere with the conduct of the affairs
of corporations.
IT is apparent from this decision that the
act of 1898 is unconstitutional and void
The decision not only furnishes an au-
thority of tho highest kind for the guild
ance OF Judge Wheeler in the present
suits, but 1t comes from the court
which would finally determine these suits
upon appeal.
This being the fact there Is little pros
pect that any successful defence can be
made upon the merits in the cases pend
ing; and the conference to-day resulted in
the unanimous opinion that 1t was useless

the dismissal OF the same MS to the State

The decision in the Michigan case does
not effect their status in the pending suits

to them and that they he discharged. This

GREAT DEMAND FOR PENSIONS,
Volunteers in the Spanish War Very
Prolific in Sickness and Widows.

Washington Jan. 19.-Pension office off,
Gals are having a good deal to do nova
days to keep up with the app.Ca tious for
pensions on account of the casualties of
the Spanish war. The number of appliCa-
tons Is so great that tho pension bureau
is giving the subject careful statistical
study. Tho war was a short one, and com
parltiYcly fNw troops were engaged. At
the same time, there were no large bat
ties. and no such LOSSES Of life or num-
hers of wounded as marked scores of bat
ties during the war Of the rebellion Yet
the pension officials think the percentage
OF Applications for pensions is greater
than 1t has been in consequence of the
war of the rebellion
The comparison of the statistics relating
to regulars and volunteers Is Singular!E
one-sided At San Juan Tiill 1872 regular
were killed and 1897 wounded and 50 were
missing. The volunteers lost "a men Kill
ed in that battle. III wounded and IS miss

regular army are 24N for invalids l76 for
widows and $50 for dependents. Those on
account of tho volunteers are 375 for In

ents. The District Of Columbia regiment
which lost none killed, wounded or miss

Engineer Instantly Killed and
Three Others Seriously
Injured.
GRAFTON VILLAGE SHAKEN
Glass Broken All About the Scene of
the Catastrophe-Mi Completely
dent Unknown Engineer Was
Inexperienced.

Bellows Falls, VT. Jan 23.--The boiler
in the steam mill of Charles White near
Grafton, exploded this morning, killing
the engineer. William Moultrop, and seri-
ously iniuriCg three of the mill employees.
The explosion was an alarming one. With
out warning the crash came and In an
instant the air was filed with dying tim
bers and broken machinery. The explod-
ing boiler plowcd its way through the roof.
completely domolishing the building and
heavy fragments of iron were strewn on
the ground hundreds of feet away
The shock Jared the village like an
earthquake, buildings rocked and window
g'ae, was broken in every direction. The
excited villagers rushed to the scene of
the accident and willing hands tore away
the mass of wreckage in search OF the
missing engineer. whose mangled body
was found close beside the engine crush
ed beyond recognition.
The cause Of the explosion is unknown.
The boiler was an old one and Of late has
been tested severely. the mill having been
run Al fun speed night and day. There is
theory that too much pressure was be-
ing carried or tho water may have become
low in the bonlcr.
Mcultrop had been at work in the mill
but short time and was not an expert
enced engineer. When applying for work
he stated that he knew nothing about
caring for a boiler but supposed he could
readily learn. He was married, his home
being at Cambridgeport, VT, where he
leaves wife and three children.
The back districts in Southern Vermont
