represented in the Senate the XLyth Senate Dis

and 1885 Senator Ellsworth represented the Old
XXXth Senate District. which included within i,s
limits the counties of Niagara, Wyoming, Genesss

nominated for some higher Office than that of State
Senator but apparently his sole thought is to re-
turn business life. his business interests ara

Seated in his fine law office here in Lockport
few days ago Senator Ellsworth stated positively
that he was not a candidate for the Republican
nomination for Lieutenant Governor or for the

DON'T GIVE Up

Don't be discouraged by past ef-
forts to find relief and cure from the
myriads OF Ills that come from sick
kidneys. You may pass nights OF
sleepless tossing, annoyed by frequent
urfnation. Your back may ache like a
toothache or sudden witches and
twinges Of backache pain make life a
misery. Perhaps you have nervous
spells. are weak, tired-out, depressed.
There is cure for all OF this and for
every trouble OF the bladder and kid
neys. Read this case and note it
tells how well the cure was tested:

equally incoherent and mystifying wire
from Tom:

Laura with my brother and his wife.
All a terrible mistake. Case of mis-
taken identity. Brother is my twin
and looks just like me. Make Laura
wait and listen to reason before tax

The upshot Of 1t all was that the
two bridal couples spent their honey
moons In the West instead of the East,
and as an incident thereto Tom was
compelled to shave his entire beard
and to promise never to wear one
again. while Jack was compelled to
enter an equally solemn promise to
