FORM OF WORSHIP.
Episcopal Convention Adopts Changes
 Recommended.

San Francisco, October This was a day of oratory in the house of dep- uties of the triennial Episcopal con- vention. The debate, which began last Saturday on the proposed addition to Article X of the constitution, pre- scribing the form of worship, was con- tinued all day and finally resulted in its adoption. As adopted it reads as follows:
 But provision may be made by canon for the temporary use of old forms and directories of worship by congregations not in union with this church, who are willing to accept the spiritual oversight of the bishop of the diocese or missionary district"
 It was strongly urged by the advo- cates of the proposed change that it's adoption would open the way to a great incerase in the membership of the church, while it's opponents re- garded it as too radical an innova- tion.
 The house of bishops adopted the amendment to Article I, section 13, of the constitution, already approved by the deputies, which, in effect, makes the presiding bishop of the church elective for a term of three years by majority of the bishops.

REBUILD THE KIDNEYS.

Any kidney or bladder trouble is a serf ous one and should have early and right attention. The kidneys are SOW to yield to disease and when they do, overworlx is the usual cause An affected kidney is an exhausted one, impure blood has weak ened 1t; the remedy needed is one that will restore strength and rebuild the kid ney itself This Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic will do. It has been doing it for forty- five years and no other remedy has ever been held in such universal favor.
 The kidneys filter impurities out of tba blood. When the blood is bad the kidnevs get clogged with these poisons. Dr. Har- ters Iron Tonic cures by neutralizine the impureties, by hastening their expulsion by building up the tissues of the kidnevs and by giving these organs more strenrth and activity While 1t is curing xidy,ev and urinary troubles it is also repairinS all the delicate machinery of the body
 This is the best of all tonics, If does everything that any ordinary tonic can do and very many important things that other remedies cannot do. Nor can it do anything but good; it is absolutely harm less, and can be given to support the strength and to hasten the cure of any invalid young or old. Ordinary iron sometimes harms, but the iron in Har- ters Tonic Is in such form that 1t does no ha. m. It enriches the blood, strength ens the stomach, and aids digestion. Made by Dr Harter Medicine Company, Day ton, Ohio. Sold everywhere.

Dayton, Ohio, October Mrs. A. J.

Following closely upon the death of her first husband. Fred Schwe- ger, came, according to the police de- partment data, the death of two chill dren. The second husband died suddenly several years after the wedding, and the children of this marriage died in rapid succession. Her last husband. A. J. Wit wer, died last April. In each instance 1eath was somewhat sudden and all were strangely alike.
 The prisoner Is 47 years of age. and for merly lived in Middleton, this state. She has two sons in the Philippines and a sister, it is stated, in a New York asylum. No conceivable motive for the suspected crimes has been disclosed. Drugs which were found in the house oc- cupied by Mrs. Witwer are in possession of the police and will be examined.

 "I am in position to state that the author of the Maclay history sent proofs of his work for Admiral Samp- son to correct.
