What to DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver. bladder and every part
OF the urinary passage. 1t corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it. or bad effects following use of LIQUOR,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to 60 often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect Of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.

his assistance.
Mr.. Chaser has been in the employ OF

clerk in the B. & o. freight office in

KILLED BY
LIGHTNING

A small stt el guard fastened around his
coat collar to hold the coat in shape
was the instrument that helped Il bolt of
lightning shock out the life of John Per-
kils. aged 30 years last night. Perkins
was struck and instantly killed by Il bolt
of lightning while standing under Il shed
at Church street whalf, with TIVE friends
during the severe storm about . o'clocis-
last night. 1t is thought that Tho bolt
first struck the scel guard and followed
II around his neck and then entered his
body With Perkins at the time of the
accident was Thomas Roonr, and Adam
Ilochn. both of whom boarded at the
same house with Perkins II tie south
east corner Of Third and Poplar streets.
The three men were standing under the
shed to get shelter from the storm. All
of a sudden there was an unusually blind
ing flash and in an instant Perkins was
stricken down. For moment his two
friends were spcrchlesS. They wero
slightly stunned. Roo, ney soon recovered
his senses however, and notified Officer
Shields. The police patrol was sum
mo;ed and removed Perkins 70 the
morgur. Hochn. ;yhu soon recovered
from tha shcck. was taken to his board
in- Ii ~" in the ,'''ce patrol.
At the morgue Drs. France ard Nor
gan made an examination and gave as
their opinion that Perkins died instant
ly. The steel guard was drawn up from
under the collar. No. marks could be
found on him except around his mock.
