Travelling is Dangerous.

Constant motion jars the kidneys
which are kept in place in the body
by delicate attachments. This is the
reason that travellers, trainmen, street
car men, teamsters and all who drive
very much suffer from kidney disease
in some form. Foley's Kidney Cure
strengthens the Kidneys and cures all
forms of kidney and bladder disease.

STRANGE STORY
TO CIRCULATE
Union Says Judge Carter Was Igno
rant of Bushnell Proceed
ings.

The Union today attempts to clear
Judge Carter of the charge of having
had anything to do with the proceed
ings at Bushnell April 6, in which the
republicans from this end of the dis
delegates from this end of the dis
trict were accorded such scant cour-
tesy, by stating that Judge Carter
was not there and was very sorry
when he heard of what was done.
That's pretty rank. 1t speaks very
loudly for the lengths to which the
republican candidate is being driven.
Judge Carter was there. Every dele
gate from this county knows he was
there. The Union knows he was there,
having recorded the fact on the fol-
lowing day. He was not only pres
ent, but he was waited upon by a
committee composed of William Jack
son, of this city. and Judge Bassett,
of Aledo, and asked to give his con-
Semitic the resembling of the action
of the snap conventions so that all
candidates might have at least a show,
but he refused to entertain the idea.
The last part of the statement of
the Union, that Judge Carter is sorry
for what took place. is undoubtedly
true now, but what is to be gained by
setting up the plea of lack Of response
bility on the part of the republican
candidate in the face of what is
known all over the district it is diff
cult to conceive.

now and then at bedtime will cure
constipation, biliousness and liver
troubles. DeWitt's Little Early Ris-
ers are the famous little pills that
cure by arousing the secretions, NOV
ing the bowels gently, yet effectually,
and giving such tone and strength to
the glands of the stomach and liver
that the cause of the trouble is re-
moved entirely, and if their use is
continued for few days there will
be no return of the complaint.

Rigg Takes a Plunge Bath.

In addition to storic, that come back
with fishing parties relative to the
length of some captured speckled beauty

tive j. told upon good authority ON one
of lakima's most abbreviated sports
men and attorneys. 1t happened week
ago last Sunday and up till now the
facts have been withheld from the pub

H. Il. Rigg, II. II. Lombard and George
Candy composed fishing party up the
Nache-. They were up the stream
about twenty miles where the river runs
high and fast Fishing was good and
the spirits of the three men were boom
ing. Candy was leading by two fish.
Rigg and lombard were tied on the mum
ber caught. The three men concluded
to cross the stream at point about
100 feet from where they then were and
90 up the river about half mile. Some
doubt was expressed by Candy a to
whether or not Rigg. (who by the way
/, short, -tumpy. though quite hand
some fellow would be able to cross the
stream. to which the latter replied very
atlirmatively. You look out for your
self George. your uncle will be there
with the rest of you.' So with that
Lombard and Candy took the ford and
Rigg fell in behind The water was
cold, and is also said to have been very
wet and swift. It's depth caught Candy
about the waist band and those who
are acquainted with the figure of Rigg
can well imagine his predicament. He
now began to use his fishing rod for
pole to steady himself with, when sud

man in the rear and when Lombard and
Candy looked around Rigg was under
head and ears battling Tercely with the
river and making furious attempts to
grab an overhanging bough. The other
two men We're so completely overcome
with the funny side of the incident that
they never thought of going to their
comrades assistance and left him to get
out the best way he could Rigg got
out on the side next to the vehicle in
which they came and threatened to drive
off and leave the other fellows unless
they acquiesced in his proposition to
20 home. This was done in view of the
eNtenuating circumstances and the three
sportsmen arrived in the city about
dusk
