Bladder troubles most always result from
a arrangement of the kidneys and a cure is
obtained quickest by a proper treatment of
the kidneys. If you are feeling badly you
can make no mistake by taking Dr.. Kimer's
Swamp=Root, the great kidney, liver and
bladder remedy.
1t corrects inability to hold urine and scald-
ing pain in passing it. and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity of being compelled to
go often during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.

HONOR TO THE POPE.
Anniversary of His
Coronation Celebrated Amid
Scenes of SpIendor.

Rome, March at is estimated
that $4,000 persons, about 1000 be-
ing Americans, actively participated
Tuesday in celebrating the twenty
fifth anniversary of the coronation
of Pope Leo XIII. One thought was
uppermost throughout Rome, from
the lowliest citizen to the highest
the desire to honor the beloved and
venerable pontiff. The vatican was
besieged from early morning, and
this despite the fact that a Slow per-
sistent rain fell all day. Carriages
were at a premium-in fact they
could not be secured except at al
most prohibitive prices.
At night all the sacred edifces in
Rome, monasteries, converts, sem
inaries, and also many private houses,
were illuminated in commemoration
of the event, the Trastevere quarter
and the Leonine city especially pre-
senting a blaze of light, while the
general effect was heightened by the
burning of Bengal fires throughout
the city. The view from the vatican,
embracing stretch of seven miles
brilliant with light, was a marvellous
one. The venerable pontiff was not
fatigued by the ceremonies.

GUEsSES AT VERDICT.
Commission Made by New
York Herald.

New York, March GA dispatch to
the Herald from Washington gives
the following forecast of the decision
of the coal strike commission APP
pointed by President Roosevelt:
There will undoubtedly be at least
a 10 per cent. advance in the pay for
mining, to take effect from the time
the miners returned to work last De-
tober. The per diem employees will not
have their wages increased, but will be
recommended for the same pay for a
day of nine hours.
The system of pay will be regulated.
Wherever practicable, the operators
will be required to pay by weight, in
stead of by the car. and elsewhere by
the hneal yard. The miners will have
check docking representative at their
expense. This will practically amount
to a. second increase in wages.
There will be indirect recognition of
the union, which will come when the
findings are submitted by President
Roosevelt to John Mitchell as president
of the miners union.
The boycott will be condemned, and
the principle will be laid down that a
miner has a right to work without
molestation. even though he does not
belong to the union.
The terms of the verdict are to hold
good for three years.
