WANTED TO SEE
MRS. Mckinley

George Fisher, who, according to his
own statements, has devoted % years
to the unearthing of irchistic plots
in the United States, was in Canton,
Tuesday, and made an Intellectual eff.
fort to see Mrs. Mckinley to interest
her in his work, says the News Dem

Fisher came here from Cleveland,
where he had been to see Mark Hanna
upon the same mission. He had writ
ten both Hanna and Mrs. Mckinley
in advance of his coming, but in spite
of this fact, he did not get an audience
with either.
Fisher claims that the anarchists
have price upon his head and that
numerous attempts have been made
to assassinate him because of his ac-
tivity against them. He called upon
Mayor Robertson and unfolded some
of his plans to his honor.

IS IT AN EPIDEMIC?
Vital Statistics Show an Alarming
Increase In an Already Prevail

At no time in the history of disease

particular malady as in that Of kidney

Today We see relative, friend or

den death, caused by that fatal type
of kidney trouble-Bright's disease.
Kidney trouble often becomes ad-
vanced into acute stages before the
AFFLICTED is aware Of its presence; that
is why we read of so many sudden
deaths of prominent business and pro-
fessional men. physicians and others.
They have neglected to stop the leak
In time.
While scientists are puzzling their
brains to find out the cause, each in
diyidual can, by little precaution,
avoid the chances of contracting dread
ed and dangerous kidney trouble, or
eradicate it completely from their sys-
TEN IL already afflicted. Many precious
lives might have been, and many more
can yet be saved, by paying attention
to the kidneys.
1t is the mission of the Daily Demo-
crat to benefit its readers at every oppor-
tunity and therefore we advise all who
have any symptoms of kidney or blad-
der trouble to write today to DR.. Kill

today from Washington. He was
asked how he sized up President
Roosevelt and said:
'The one fact that has become all

dent who is absorbed by desire for

up, down and folded, with his mouth
stern, relaxed, open, half open and

'The advent of Roosevelt was a great

His like was never seen in the White

say that if Mr.. Roosevelt had won the

cream that is simply stupendous. More
than one manufacturer, during the
past week, has gone out into the
country with wagons and purchas sed
cream in small or large quantities,
from such farmers as had it for sale,
because of the fact that it was impos-

expected.

DEAD FISH
Blockade In Louisiana Canal
Threatens PestiIence.

New Orleans, July 9.-Pestilence
is threatened in jefferson parish, along
Harvey's canal, just across the river,
because of blockade of fish. The
waterway is literally qhoked with
them. They have died by the mil
lions and since Saturday night big
gangs of negroes have been at work,
employed by manufacturers along the
canal, pitchforking the dead fish out of
the water and carting them away.
Navigation in the canal has been sus-
pended. The immense cypress plant
of the Louisiana Cypress Lumber Co..
employing several hundred hands, has
been forced to close down. The at
mosphere is polluted by the poison.
Families living along Harvey's canal
and in the neighborhood of the mill
are fleeing from the place and seeking
refuge on this side Of the stream.
1t is thought that heavy storms which
blew the salt water up into Harvey's
canal caused the death of the fish. Wa
ter lilies were also killed by the water
from the sea and the decaying vege-
tation poisoned the water. Soft shell
crabs are dying and can be seen by the
carcasses of the fish. Even the snakes
cannot live in the putrid waters and
many dead ones were seen yesterday.
