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 in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
1t used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ming in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
and the extraordinary effect Of DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-ROOt, the great kidney remedy is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for its

FURIOUS HURRICANE IN KENT
LIGHTNING AND WIND DO CONSIDERABLE
DAMAGE IN THIS COUNTY.
Cyclone al Dover Lifts Cow Shed From Its
Foundation Without Iniuring the Held
The Storm Elsewhere.

Foundation without lnluring the Held
The Storm Elsewhere.
During the heavy rain storm, We'd
nesday evening, says the Dover Lnder,
a large two-story COW shed and hay
NOW on the farm of H. A. Richardson,
just north of town, was completely
wrecked by the wind. The herd of
cattle therein escaped without in
jury.
The building, which was practically
new, was about 3Ox5O feet and had
twenty-five tons of hay stored in the
second story. The wind came along
vbout seven O'Clock and seemed like a
cyclone. 1t seemed to lift the building
off its foundations and completely
upset it.
G.. d. Jackson, the tenant, expected
to find the greater part of his stock
killed or injured, but was surprised to
find his fifteen head of valuable COWS
and two horses standing in the rain
unlnjured.
A. b. Richardson's fine mare and
colt were in box stall i'll the building
and both escaped being hurt.
On an adjourning farm an empty
barn was moved several feet and a field
of corn was whipped to the ground.
Damage Severe in Other Places.
A furious electrical storm swept
with the fury of hurricane over the
Peninsula, Wednesday evening, doing
immense damage to crops, shattering
and burning a number of barns, kill
ing much live stock and iniuring a
number of men.
At Stanton, Andrew Harvey and
Thomas Dorecco, trackmen, were sit
ting in tool house by the railroad,
when both were struck by lightning.
Both men were badly burned and cur
iously marked by the current, and Do
receo was insensible for a long time.
One Bolt Stays Seven Cows.
In Brandywine Hundred, lightning
struck tree under which seven cows
of Thomas Beatty were standing, and
all were instantly killed. The roofs of
three kilns of the Delaware Terra
Gotta Company were blown off.
At Lincoln City, lightning struck
Mrs. NJ. V. Risler's dwelling. tearing
out the corner and stunning Mrs.
Risler.
Bolt Strikes PhiIadeIphiaus.
In Maryland the storm was appar-
emily as severe as in this State. AT
Barksdale, George W. Grove, with his
father and brother, James W. Grove, a
clerk in the Philadelphia Post Office,
and hired man, were unloading hay
from wagon when binding flash OF
lightning stunned all four men and
caused the horses to run away.
At Elkton, Nd, large barn, be-
longing to B. H. Sapp, with quantity
of grain and farming implements, was
set on fire by lightning and burned to
the ground.
A similar disaster occurred at Be-
lair, where the barn of James W.
Archer was struck by lightning and
burned with all its contents, including
several head of cattle.
Lightning struck the large barn of
j. Frank Biggs, Esq, about 81 miles
from Middletown, but fortunately did
comparatively little damage besides
shattering the building and knocking
down the ventilator on top. Mr..
Biggs considers he was fortunate, as
he had the structure filled with hay
and valuable implements, besides his
wheat crop. The loss is fully covered
by insurance.

William Michael Byrne, the repre-
sentative of the United States Attorney
Generals Office in this State, says he is
no longer a politician in the usual
sense of that word. No more will the
eloquent District Attorney participate
in political conferences. Speaking to
a representative of the Sun the Dis
trict Attorney said that hereafter he
will be merely an individual voter,
with his own views and ideas, and
without desire to reflect those views
in others.

that as a member of the firm of j. Stein

from Pennsylvania justice also. When
his name was called Friday in the

Hoodlums on West Seventh street
Wilmington, Thursday night, at
tackled Laon Wing, an inoffensive
Chinaman, who keeps a laundry, and
the first attack he repulsed. The boys
retreated, but soon returned, loaded
with bad eggs, over-ripe tomatoes and
other stale vegetables. With these
they plastered the Celestial from head
to foot, and also ornamented the en-
tire front of the laundry. The arrival
of the police caused the boys to flee
and saved the Chinaman from further
injury.

weeks. He does not claim to have dis
covered the secret of perpetual motion
but believes the contrivance, which
came to him through dream, can be
attached to any clock and will bring
him good returns.
The leather market in Wilmington,
has fallen fiat and local manufactures
believe the only way to improve mat
ters is to shut off the supply until there
is some evidence of greater demand.
Nearly all of the seventeen glazed kid
factories are working the stock out
with the intention of closing within
the next few weeks until business be-
comes better. Another reason is that
annually high prices are being asked
for raw materials while the product is
commanding low prices.

"The Old-Time Camp Meeting"
was the subject of vigorous address
by Rev. l.. W. Layfeld, pastor in
charge of Camden Camp at the formal
religious opening Wednesday. The
Minister declared that the meeting
was to be a soul gathering harvest, and
would be proceeded with in the old
fashioned Methodist manner, without
advertised programme and without
any attempt at display. There would
be no foreign preachers to assist i'll the
services, but the very best ministers in
the Wilmington Conference would be
heard at every service.
There was a most exciting incident
says a Philadelphia paper, that aroused
the Camden Camp at the dead hour of
2 o'clock Thursday morning. Two
young women, Miss Florence Burke
of Magnolia, and Miss Mary Burke of
Chester, were keeping bachelor girls
quarters in a cozy tent on the circle.
At 2 o'clock they were aroused by
whispering near the rear of the tent
where they where sleeping, and soon
saw a mans hand reached in the tent
in an effort to open the door. The
girls bounded out of bed and with a
shrek, started out, running down the
avenue and crying with fright and for
help. They reached the tent of Eek
iel Cooper of the Farmers Bank.
Dover, and soon had Mr.. Cooper out
with his coast defences. A sharp
whistle was heard and the men disap-
peared. 1t was thought that they were
tramps out foraging, but the girls are
so alarmed over the incident that the
authorities have been asked to put
night watchmen on duty beginning to-
night.

NUMBER Of Scranton people
"A have gone to Northfleld, Mass,
IN to attend the Moody summer
4 IA schools. As everyone knows, 1t
was the dream of ID. L. Moody's
life to establish the schools. He said
of them: "The object of the North
field schools is to nelp young men and
women of very limited means to get
an education such as would have done
me good when | was their age. I want
to help them into lives that will count
the most for the cause of Christ"
The following letter has been re-
ceived at this office from one of the
late evangelst's children:
MAY / not call your attention to
the work of the Mortified schools
which were established by my father,
especially for poor boys and girls
whose opportunities to acquire an edu-
cation have been very limited. More
than 900 young men and women from
all parts of the country have been in
attendance this year. Thorough in
struction in the English Bible and
practical experience in farm and do
mestlc work are among the character
istic features of the schools. In order
to make the advantages available to
those who need this help we charge
each pupil but 500 a year for board
and tuition. AS it pays but one-half
the actual cost, you see how large is
the deficit we have annually to meet.
"The trustees and those to whom
my father committed this work,
earnestly purpose to continue it along
the same lines, trusting in the same
God and believing that not only will
the old friends continue their support,
but that new friends will aid in the
work. MI. Moody's work Is no longer
his, it is ours said one. Will you be
one who will help us to meet the new
responsibilities laid upon us that we
may close our fiscal year, August l,
free from debt?
yours respectfully,
"W. r. MOODY"
