REBUILD THE KIDNEYS.

Any kidney or bladder trouble is a seri- ous one and should have early and right attention. The kidneys are slow to yield to disease and when they do, overwork is the usual cause. An affected kidney is an exhausted one, impure blood has weak ened it: 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 the blood. When the blood is bad the kidneys get clogged with these poisons Dr. Har- ter's Iron Tonic cures by neutralizing the impureties, by hastening their expulsion by building up the tissues of the kidneys and by giving these organs more strength and activity. While it is curing kidney and urinary troubles it is also repairing all the delicate machinery of the body.
 This is the best of all tonics. It 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- ter's Tonic is in such form that 1t does no harm. It enriches the blood, strength ems the stomach. and aids digestion Made by Dr. Harter Medicine Company, Day ton. Ohio. Sold everywhere.

A Question of Precedent.

 You don't mean anything personal by that. do you, MT Clerk?'' asked the judge, as he put on his specs and looked down on the clerk.
 NO. sir. That's a quotation, your honor" said the clerk.
 Who is the author or that poetic thought clothed in such classic diction % inquired the judge.
 Tt hasn't any, said the clerk That's one of the few quotations know that hasn't an author"
 By what authority do you use it then?" asked the judge.
 By the divine right of kings" said the clerk. "One of my ancestors was a king, you know.'
 Two of my ancestors were queens,' said the sheriff. 'so I outrank the clerk, your honor-that is according to all the laws of poker''

 That was a bad break-to leave the trucks without any breaks" said the judge.

 The motorman said that he was on the car motoring. That Ella waived her hand at him. When he saw she was not try ing to f1irt but meant business he stopped the car, and Ella tried to get on the car wrong end foremost.
 What do you mean by that?' asked the judge.
 "She first got on the wrong end-the white end instead of the black, ,"-said the witness. "Finally she got on the right end behind"
 Behind what?" asked the judge.
 Time called out the witness, think ing the judge was little deaf.
 Don't call time on me-" said the judge" or you will find time to repent. What else did Ella do?"
 ''She cussed the conductor every time he went through the car," said the wit ness.
 "She must have thought he was high wayman," said the judge, otherwise I cannot account for such a high-handed proceeding"
 Judge" said the conductor, 'I was running a section car for white and col ored people, Ella got in the wrong sec ton and I had to put her right. This made her mad, and then she tried to run the car. When she got off the car at First avenue she invited me out to scrap, and I accepted the invite and we scrop. That's about all there is to it.. There wasn't very much to Ella, especially when I got through with her.
 The defendant said she started to get on the big end of the car, when the con ductor pushed her off. That she had a basket on her arm or there would have been a scrap then and there. That she then entered the little end of the car, which the conductor told her was for

 CARPET FOR DUKE
Quarter of a Mile of Brussels Laid for Royal Party's
 Feet

Melbourne, May 6.-The Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York landed from the steamer Ophir at o'clock this afternoon. The Duke and Duchess were received at the pier head by Lord Hope- toun, Governor General, and the State and Federal Ministers. After the minis ters had been presented the party passed down quarter of mile of carpeted pyramids and entered the city, surround ed by guard of honor composed of Vic- torian troops just returned from South Africa and proceeded a distance of seven miles through brilliantly decorated streets bordered with almost continuous lines of stands filled to their utmost ca pacity. The entire route was lined with demonstrative crowds and the decora- tions, arches, venetian masts and columns along the line of march were very effect i've.
 Opposite the town hall the procession passed beneath the Queens arch, canopied with the royal colors and shell tering golden statue of Queen Victoria Twelve thousand troops were in line There are 5000 visitors in Melbourne. The drive terminated at Government House
 There was picturesque scene at Par liament house when the procession of the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York, accompanied by Lord Hopetoun, the got- ernor-general, the State and federal min- isters and guard of honor arrived there at quarter past three this afternoon. Assembled on the step of the building were the foreign ministers, the represen- tatives of colonies, including Wm. M. Mulock, the Canadian Postmaster-Gen- eral, the American and other consuls, the officers of the visiting warships and a host of other prominent persons.
 The royal party reached government headquarters at o'clock. Here there was the scene of the greatest enthusiasm. A salute was fired and the royal standard was hoisted.
 Today the weather has been perfect and it is believed that a crowd numbering 300,000 persons witnessed the procession. Tonight the city and harbor are ablaze with illuminations of the most elaborate description.

PRIZE THIS TIME IS S35OO

Louisville. May 6-Again the good son Kentucky derby at the opening of the spring meeting at Churchils Downs on last Monday, demonstrated his superiority over the western colts that have thus far faced the flag by winning today the Clark stakes at one mile and an eighth, for from the time they were in motion until the end, the race belonged to His Eminence.
 The Clark stakes. worth s2500 to the win ner. is second only in importance to the Kentucky derby. and it always means a revival of interest in the entries of the historic race, for the horses that are eli giblc and start in the Kentucky derby usually face the flag in the Clark stakes Alard Scheck, the odds-on favorite of the Kentucky derby, was scratched. and Joe Frey, his stable companion. was sent to the post as the Schorr entry.
 In addition to Joe Fry, The Puritan was the only colt that had been tried out with the other derby entries, and he went to the post as well backed as the derby win ner, for His Eminence carried penalty of five pounds. and in view of The Puri- tans two successive wins and his advan- tage of ten pounds in weight. it was thought he might show his heels to His Eminence. But the Falsetto colt demon strated that he was a weight-carrier, and his win was but repetition of his vic tory in the Kentucky derby. for not once during the mile and an eighth did Jockey 'Winkfeld find 1t necessary to do any rid ing. When the flag fell The Puritan was in front with Driscoll second His Emi- hence third, San Navarro, who finished second in the derby; fourth. Joe Frey fifth and Amur sixth These positions were maintained as the bunch passed the stand, running almost abreast. but. on the turn His Eminence moved up to sec ond place. and from there to the wire it was simply a one-horse race. The Puritan maintained the lead until they opened out on the back stretch. when His Eminence assumed command and continued to show the way to the wire, winning by length and a half, and showing little or no fla tIgue by reason of his journey of a mile and an eighth The Puritan finished sec ond with Driscoll third and the others struggling in the rear.
 The track was fast and crowd of 1000 people saw the six races, which were characterized by good fields and mod erately good finishes. It was day for the long shots for Maid of Dundee. at 2O Ethel Wheat at l5 and Whitfield at 8 were easy winners, while the remaining three races went to the favorites.
