His Laboratory.

There is disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
it-heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to ad-
vance the kidney poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood-the albumen
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's

Admiral Dewey's Candidacy.

Admiral Dewey's candidacy for the
presidency will attract attention large
ly because of the unique position in
which the old sea fighter places him
self. The admiral says he has every
reason to believe that there is popu-
lar demand for his nomination, and
then he declines to say whether he is
a democrat or republican. The admi-
raj might at least designate the party
to which he will apply for the honor.
If it be true as reported that some
eastern democrats have arranged d
scheme to boom Dewey in the hope of
defeating Bryan, many of the admit
RAILS sincere friends will be extremity
sorry. Admiral Dewey is a lion, but
he will discover that William j. Bryan
is methiHg of lion himself. lfsome
eastern democrats are booming Dewey
in the serious hope of securing for him
the democratic nomination then in
deed are they blind. Bryan will be
the democratic nominee, and there is
no man in the United States strong
enough to put up arespectable contest
against him.

Dewey, then the triumph of Bryan
will be all the greater, for even Dewe.
in all his glory cannot make a serious
contest against the man who has al
ready been nominated in the hearts o
the American democracy.
Its a pity that eastern politicians
have chosen Admiral Dewey as TIL,
lamb for the slaughter His service
to the nation entitle him to d bette
fate. Eastern men who are opposed t
Bryan have much to learn. They d.
not know how firm Il hold Bryan ha
secured upon the hearts of the people

In his speech in supporto of the Puer
to Rican tariff bill Senator Spooner
declared that nobody but trusts would
be benefited by free trade with the
islands.
"Did / understand the senator from
Wisconsin to say that free trade with
Puerto Rico would benefit nbbody but
the trusts" inquired Senator Turley
of Tennessee.
"That's what said, " replied Sena-
tor Spooner, "and stated the facts. =
'sThen why do you propose to give
Puerto Rico free trade in two years?n
asked the statesman from Tennessee.
Spooner was amazed and dumbfound-
ed. There was no answer to make, SO
he essayed none.
