Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.

troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases lave their begin
ming in kidney trouble.

by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild

is a gentleman of fine ability and
.blameless character, and in his larger
field will increase the reputation
which he already enjoys.-Charlotte
Observer.
The price of cotton took a slump
last week, says the Washington cor
respondent of The Progressive
Farmer, due to the encouraging
government crop report which indi-
Gated that the yield would be nearly
10 per cent over the average, an I'M
expected announcement in view of
previous reports. This week the
weather has not been so favorable,
but the crop has not been materially
injured. Corn is maturing rapidly
except in Iowa where much of the
late corn needs several weeks more of
bright sunshine. In any event the
yield over the entire country will not
be up to the average, and prices
promise to be high.

Our Enormous Pension Bill.

Washington, Sept. 12.-Pension
Commissioner Ware has completed
and forwarded to the Secretary of
the Interior his annual report for
the fiscal year just ended, in. which
he makes a number of interesting
recommendations for the benefit of
the pension bureau.
Commissioner Ware shows that
the total cost of pensions to the gov
eminent for the past 80 years has
been $2,942, u.s. 45. 90 in persons paid
and $95, 647, 934.71 expended in main
tanning the pension service. He esti-
mates that the revolutionary was
cost the government $70,OOO,OOO in
pensions; the war of 1912, 1924
414.55; the war with Mexico, $780,
483, 3O9.91 the war of the rebellion,
S. ,87S, 24O, 4OO.17, and the war with
Spain, $5,479,268, making the total
disbursements in pensions $685.
623, 59O.18.
The report explains that in 1890
the cost of the pension system
amounted to $1.4O per $1,000 of the
aggregate wealth of the county. In
1893 it reached 1924, and since then
gradually declined to $1.9O in 1895,
$3.50 in 1900 and $1.32 in the past
year.

Political News and Gossip.

In Nebraska-one of the few po-
litically interesting States that hold
an election this year-the Republi-
can Convention last week passed res
olutions enthusiastically indorsing
President Roosevelt for a second
term, proclaiming present prosperity
to be the result of Republican poll
cies, eulogizing the protective tariff,
condemning combinations of capt.
tai having for their purpose the sti-
fling of competition" and demand
ing such legislation as will enable
American-built ships to carry Amer
ica's foreign commerce. The word
subsidy was not used in this last
plank, but the subsidy policy was
plainly Endorsed. Mr.. John L. Web
ster, an Omaha lawyer, was proposed
by the Convention as President
ROosevelt's associate on the ticket of
1904. In Ohio the contest between
Mayor Johnson ad John L. thinner
man, the conservative candidate for
the Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor, is proving closer than was ex-
pected, though the reports still indi-
cate that Mayor Johnson is likely to
control the Convention. In Missouri
the popular demand that Mr.. Folk,
the successful prosecutor of the st.
Louis and Jefferson City rings, shall
be made the Democratic candidate
for Governor is increasingly strong
particularly in the rural districts,
where Mr.. Folks Independent course
has not stirred against him infuen-
tial enemies. Mr.. Folk has even been
proposed in the "Commoner" as a
possible Democratic candidate for
the Presidency in 1904. For this last
named position, however, the present
range of gossip knows no bounds, and
the situation has recalled the cpl
gram made upon the election of Pres
ident Polk: "Henceforth no private
citizen is safe" Several influential
Southern Senators have united in in
dorsing Senator German, of Mary
land, but Mr.. Bryan has promptly
declared that this nomination would
no more secure harmony than would
hat of Mr.. Cleveland. It would, he
says, eliminate from the campaign
the tariff issue, the trust issue, the
imperialism issue, and the currency
issue, and leave nothing but the
question, Who shall hold the offices
Mr.. German, he declares, would pol
a million less votes than a Demo
cratic ticket with no candidate al

Indian Department Scandal.

The postal scandal, we are told by
a Republican Washington correspon-
dent, will pale into insignifcance in
comparison with the new Indian
scandal, both in the amount of money
and the Importance of the officials
involved, if the charges made by
Special Agent Brosius, of the Indian
Rights Association, are corrobOrated.
Twenty million acres of land, mil
lions of dollars in money, and the in
terests of some four hundred thou
sand Indians are said to be affected.
The charges are, in brief, that some
of the government officials whose
particular business it is to protect
the Indians from land "sharks" have
themselves formed land and oil COM
panies, and used their official posi-
tions to despoil the red men of their
land. As n paper puts it, "the
Watchdog have joined the wolves"
Mr.. Brosius names about half a
dozen land companies in his charges,
and names a United States internal
revenue inspector, a United States
District Attorney, an Indian inpec-
tor, a clerk of a United States Court,
an assistant attorney, and the chair
man and another member OF the
Dawes Indian Commission as officers
and promoters of these concerns.
These land companies, it is charged,
induce the Indians by the temptation
of cash payment, or by delays at the
office of the Dawes Commission, or
by exhausting and expensive delays
of litigation, to part with valuable
land for next to nothing-otten, IN
deed, when the Indian has-no right
to sell his land, and the entire
transaction is illegal. Complaints
of these frauds, it now appears, have
been coming in to the Department
of the Interior and the Department
of Justice for a long time, but by
the interesting workings of depart
ment machinery the charges have
been turned over for investigation
to the very men who we're to be IN
v~estigated, so hat no great strenu-
ousness has marked the prosecution
of the charges hitherto. Now that
the allegations have been made pub
lie, however, more activity is ez-
pected.-Literary Digest.
