BOUND AND
ROBBED A PRIEST.
Masked Men Compelled Clergy.
man to Give Up Valuables.

Toledo, o., Jan. 2S.--Three men with
black masks over their faces paid a
visit to the residence of Father Baulo-
Wits of Grand ST., shortly after mid
might, and, after putting the reverend
gentleman in fear of his life, succeed
ed in obtaining about $12 in money,
three rings and gold chain.
Father Baulovits heard them coming
up to his room, and met them on the
stairs, but was quickly overpowered
by the men as they choked and bound
him. Then they demanded his money
and valuables and, taking him down
stairs, compelled him to give up his
keys and unlock the safe.
Not satisfied with the amount of
plunder secured they demanded his
salary of $7O0, which they supposed
he had received. However, he had not
received the money. In the meantime
a servant girl had notified the neigh
bors, but when they arrived On the
scene the robbers had made their
escape.

Bologna. Leaning Tower.

Bologna has two great square tow.
ers, the Asinelli, which is 315 feet high
and was erected in 100, and its rival.
the Garisenda, which was built one year
later and was originally much higher
and is rendered peculiar by its de-
cided inclination to one side. 1t is
now only 1853 feet high, the width Of
one side is % feet. the walls at the
base are G feet 9 inches thick, while
higher up they are feet 0 inches. Its
origin is somewhat obscure, but it was
certainly intended to outdo the Ash
nelli, and both were for retreat in trou-
blous times. Some say the original in
tentlon was to make 1t lean, but 9th.
ers contend that either the ground has
settled or there was defect In the
engineering. This unique relic was so
little thought Of by one of its later pos.
SCISSORS that 1t was sold in 1865 for 220
lire, something less than $44.

IS 1T AN EPIDEMIC?
Vital Statistics Show An Alarming lncreasi
In An Already Prevailing 0isease--Are
Any Exempt

At no time in the history OF disease
has there been such in alarming in
crease in the number of cases of any
particular malady as in that of kidney
and bladder troubles now preying
upon the people of this country
Today we see relative, friend or
an acquaintance apparently well, and
in few days We may be grieved to
learn of their serious illness or sud
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
dividual can, by little precaution,
avoid the chances Of contracting dread
ed and dangerous kidney trouble, OF
eradicate ircompletely from their sys-
tenn If 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
mer & Co, Binghamton, n. Y, for a
free sample bottle of Swamp Root, the
celebrated specific which is having
such a great demand and remarkable
success in the cure Of the most dis
tressing kidney and bladder troubles
With the sample bottle of swamp Root
will also be sent free a pamphlet and
treastise of valuable Information.

DIVORCE MATTERS.
Hattie M. 1sbell has started suit
to secure u divorce from ex-City Clerk
Chas. II. Isbell. She accuses him of
cruelty. Friends of Nh. and Mrs.
Isbell have expected this action for
some time.
Frederick A. Kress, of Akron, has
petitioned for divorce from Cora L.
Kress. He accuses her of cruelty, and
mentions instances in which she is
alleged to have called him bad names.
They were married in 1891.
SUIT FOR MONEY.
Henrietta Pfeiffer has started suit
against Lewis Il. Smith, asking judg-
ment for $526.75. She bases the suit

Wheels.

The earliest mention Of wheels in
the Bible is in Exodus xiv, 25, when
the chariot wheels Of the Egyptians
were taken Off by the Lord. But char
lots are mentioned in Genesis xii, 43.
But there were older nations than the
Egyptians. The Chaldeans used char
lots, and the Greeks-Homer's poems
date from about 900 B. CHAD char
lots at the siege of Troy, 1900 B. g.
Probably in reality the wheel is about
as early piece Of machinery as any
now existing. OF course it has been
developed, but the bicycle wheel Of to-
day is lineal descendant of the Sec
tion of log Of wood used by the ag-
ricultural peoples thousands OF years
