IS IT AN EPIDEMIC?
Vital Statistics Show an Al

Prevailing Dis ase - Are
any Exsmpt?

At no time in the history of disease
has there been such an alarming in
crease in the number Of cases of any
particular malady as that in kidney
and, bladder troubles now preying up
on the people of this country.
Today we see relative, a friend or
an acquaintance apparently well, and
in few days we may be greived 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-
yanced 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 lind out the cause, each in
dividual can, by little precaution,
avoid the chances of contracting
dreaded and dangerous kidney trouble,
or eradicate it completely from their
system II already afflicted. Many prec-
ious lives might have been, and many
more can yet be saved, by paying at
tention to the kidneys.
1t is the mission of the STARK Co.
Democrat" to benefit its readers at
every opportunity and therefore we
advise all who have any symptoms of
kidney or bladder trouble to write to-
day to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton,
N. ", for a free sample bottle of
Swamp-Root, the celebrated specific

and remarkable success In the cure of

MONUMENT TO A MASSACRE g:,.
Two School Houses Being Built at
 White River Agency.

Judge Grouse. agent at the White River Indian agency. is erecting a monument to the soldiers who fell in what is known as the Cibicu massacre. which occurred near the site of the agency. There are really two nonu- inents, two stone school houses in which the Indian youth will be taught that it does not pay to kill white sol diers.
 That massacre occurred just twenty years ago last month. A troop of sol 6iers was pursuing a iband of Apaches who had left the reservation and had committed some minor depredat tions The soldiers were accompanied by squad of Apache scouts. One evening the troop prepared to camp for the night. One tent had been erected and ali the arms had been stacked. There was nothing to be feared from the flu gitive Indians. and the soldiers were careless. Suddenly they were turned upon by the scouts CT hy all cf them but one. The scouts got possession of the arms and at the first voIley seven of the troops were killed ,amcng them the captain.
 The soldiers made no stand at all.
 
 escape. Subsequently most of the scouts were captured and four of them were hanged at Camp Grant. There are In- dians al the agency now who either participated in the massacre or were in the vicinity at the time. They point out where various incidents of the tragedy occurred and laugh at the memory of the fleeing soldiers. To them the tragedy has been tempered by time into huge Joke on the Amer iCan army.
 Judge Grouse was several years agent at Sacaton. When he was sent to White river he thought he could em- ploy the same methods which had made his administration at Sacaton a success. but he found at the outset that he had another and entirely different class or Indians 10 deal with
