Thousands Of Women Have Kidney
Trouble and Never Suspect It.
To Prove What the Kidney
Every Reader the State
Women as Well as Men are Made
Miserable by Kidney and
Bladder Troubles.

It used to be considered that only uri-
nary and bladder troubles were to be
traced to the kidneys, but now modern
science proves that nearly all diseases
have their beginning in the disorder OF
these m ost important organs.
The kidneys filter and purify the
blood-that is their work So when the
kidneys are weak or out of order you
can understand how quickly your en-
tire 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.
Many women suffer untold misery be-
cause the nature of their disease is not
correctly understood; in most cases
they are led to believe that womb
trouble or female weakness Of some
sort is responsible for their many ills,
when in fact disOrdered kidneys are the
chief cause of their distressing troubles.
Neuralgia, nervousness, headache.
puffy or dark circles under the eyes.
rheumatism, a dragging pain or dull
ache in the back, weakness or bearing
down sensation, profuse or scanty sup
ply of urine, with strong Odor, frequent
desire to pass it night or day, with
scalding or burning sensation-these
are all unmistakable signs of kidney
and bladder trouble.
If there is any doubt in your mind as
to your condition. take from your urine
on rising about four ounces. place it in
glass or bottle and let it stand
tWenty-fOur hours. If on examination
it is milky or cloudy. if there is q brick
dust settling, or if small particles float
about in it, your kidneys are in need Of
immediate attention.
Other symptoms showing that you
need Swamp-Root are sleeplessness,
dizziness, irregular heart, breathless-
ness, sallOW. unhealthy complexion,
plenty of ambition but no strength.
Swamp Root is pleasant to take and
is used in the leading hospitals, recon-
mended by physicians in their private
practice, and is taken by doctors them
selves, because they recognize in ii the
greatest and most successful remedy
that science has ever been able to com
pound.
If you are already convinced that
Swamp-Root is what you need, you can
purchase the regular fifty-cent and one
dollar bottles at the drug stores every
where.

ROCKEFELLER BITTEN.
Forces a Commission Company
Into Hands of a Receiver.

Kansas City. Mo, May 14-Ultey
Wedge of Joplin, No, has been appoint
ed receiver for the Siegel-Sanders Live
Stock Commission company of this city
This action followed the filing of a suit
against the commission company by
Frank Rockefeller of Cleveland, who is
a heavy stockholder in the company In
his petition Mr. Rockefeller charges
Frank Siegel, president and general
manager of the company, with Specula-
tons and mismanagement of it's affairs.
MIR. Rockefeller intimateS that Siegel
made away with over 500, 900.
The Siegel- Sanders Live Stock Com
mission company was Incorporated un-
der the laws Of Missouri in November,
1899 with $250,000 capital. 1t succeeded
the business of a Kansas corporation
OF the same name Mr.. Rockefeller in
his petition makes five specific charges:
First, that in the conduct of the COM
pany'S business money is loaned on cat
tie, a chattel mortgage signed notes
for the amount being taken and the
notes which are usually of from four
to six months are then discounted. The
petition charges that Siegel in hand
ling these notes would renew the notes
when they expired and reissue the
original paper, leaving both the original
and renewal notes outstanding Fully
$25,000 has been diverted in this way.
he says
Next, according to Mr. Rockefeller,
Slegel would buy cattle and give bills
of sale to straw men, taking mortgages
for them, only to transfer the cattle to
second straw man, and repeat the
process, diScOunJng the notes each time.
In some instances, the petition charges,
the operation extended to d third
straw man. and these spurious mort
cages are said to amount to fully $10,-
600.
Mr.. Rockefeller next charges that
while the agreement was that none of
the liabilities of the old Kansas cor
poration was assumed Siegel used the
new company's funds to clear up the
debt of the old company The amount
of money used for this purpose, it is
charged, was about $4,000
Mr. Rockefeller also charges that
Siegel took two bills receivable amount
ing to upwards of $50, 0OO and discounted
them, rendering no account of the
money whatever.
Finally, Mr.. Rockefeller says. siegel
induced him to sign guarantees of the
company's indebtedness for five banks,
the National Bank of Commerce, the
State Bank, a Carthage, No. bank, a
Pennsylvania bank. and a Des Moines,
Ia, bank These guarantees, he says,
are really $4,000 behind.

WHO is CHARLES MILLER ?
Arrested in Kansas City, Claims to
Have LIVED Here.

Chas Miller, who claims to be from
Topeka, is in trouble in Kansas City.
The police arrested him and Mrs. n. c.
Collins They were bound over to await
the action of the federal grand jury by
United States Commissioner NuckOls
Saturday afternoon. They are charged
with ''devising a scheme to defraud"
bv using the United States mails. Mil
ler's bond was fixed at $1,000 and the
woman's at 1000. in default of which
both were returned to the county jail.
The charge against the couple is that
of advertising for a private watchman,
applicants being required to post $5
with Miller or deposit $500 in a safety
deposit vault in lieu of a surety bond.
Just what connection the woman had
with the scheme is not clear, but while
enough evidence in the case has been
secured to warrant holding the couple,
the federal detectives are by no means
through with it, and more interesting
developments are expected.

California Lines Prepare to
Handle 1909 Fruit Crop.
Promise Comes After a Bad Year
For Fruit Growers.
MORE CARS AND POWER
That is What the Roads Have
Needed.
Other Railroad News of Local
and General Interest.
lore CARS AND POWER

It Is stated on good authority that so
far as the Santa Fe and Southern Pa
cific railroads are concerned the next
years crop of California fruit shall be
placed on the market promptly and in
good shape This decision has been
reached after a year that to many grow
ers of citrus fruit has proven all but
disastrous financially The fault les
with no one properly, although the rail-
roads were directly responsible for the
failure to place the fruit on the mar
ket- In the first place the necessary
cars could not be secured for moving the
fruit as fast as it ripened 1t should
be remembered too that the past two
years have been almost if not quite un-
paralleled as regards the amount of rail-
road business done. Not only has there
been dearth of cars, but a correspond
ing scarcity of power. to move all that
might have been handled had there been
more engines has existed.
The fruit ripened, fell and rOtted on
the ground simply because the trans
pOrtatiOn companies could not furnish
the means of hauling it away. The
citrus fruit growers met and passed
resolutions endeavoring to use some
means whereby the product might still
be put on sale, but all in vain. Toward
the latter part of the season James J.
Hill of the Great Northern tried an ex-
pertinent in fruit transportation, which
caused some stir among the California
roads. He shipped two train loads to
Seattle by steamer and thence by a fast
freight schedule placed the fruit on the
eastern markets in a remarkably short
time However. a. soon as the other
lines recognized in President Hill move
a plan TO carry the traffic over a north
ern route, they promptly raised the
price Of hauling to the coast to such
high figure that that scheme was not
feasible.
While there evidently has been no
contract made with the roads, it is GER
tain that the growers of oranges and
lemons have assurances that next year
proper transportation facilities shall be
provided, including both a sufficient
number of cars as we'll as a faster
schedule for fruit trains.
It has been predicted that the time is
not far distant when the annual fruit
output from California alone will aggre-
gate between 80, 600 and 40, 900 cars. This
Of course is bound to reduce the price
of oranges and lemons, and to cause a
corresponding reduction in freight rates.

IRON STREET CROSSINGS.
City Engineer Wise Writes of Them
in Municipal Journal

The Municipal Journal and Engineer,
published in New York city, prints in
its May issue the following letter from
city Engineer p. L. Wise, in regard to
the cost of Topeka's street signs:
Topeka, Kas., April %, 1901
Editor Municipal Journal and Engt-
neer:
Replying to your favor Of the 18th,
we have in this city about $50 crossings
filed out with plates as shown in the
April issue of the Journal We only use
these plate, so far, on paved streets,
but will begin this year to replace the
old wooden crossing plank with them
They cost US $3.50 per set of three plates,
making a crossing two feet by six feet
wide with a clear waterway under
meath. The street name is only cast in
the center plate. the outside plates be
ing the same for all crossings. The
name is made by placing on the pattern
cast letters that can be removed and
others put in their place, so you see the
cost of the sign is nothing--in fact, the
foundrymen make no difference in
name plate or plain one in their
charges. r. l.. w lSE-
