When thes kidneys are sick there Is
always a warning to tell you Of it, and
when the kidneys call for help there is
no time to lose. Kidney diseases are
common and fatal-cause more deaths
every year than any other human Ills.
But in nine cases out of ten this is due
to neglect. Kidney disorders are cas-
lily contracted, but just as easily cured
when treated properly and in time.
Common causes of kidney troubles
are colds, fevers, exposure, strains on
the back, blood-poisoning diseases,
and Indulgence in stimulants.
The kidneys are the blood filters.
and when they become sick, the blood
is soon laden with impurities, which
the kidneys have failed to remove.
This causes backache, stiff, lame, and
sore muscles. aching Joints, spells of
dizziness, headaches, rheumatic pains,
sleeplessness, nervousness, and Ian
gour, weak heart and many other bod
lily aches and ills.
Meanwhile the kidneys are fast
breaking down. and from this cause
the urine becomes discolored and full
of sandy sediment; passages, are too
frequent and often painful.
Uric acid crystallizes and causes
gravel and kidney stones. The blad-
der cannot perform 1t natural duties.
Water which Should pass off in the
urine collects indifferent parts Of the
body, causing dropsical bloating.

mining their capacity to administer
public affairs.
We have had two administrations in
the last seven years which have been
governed by the same policies. We
may consult the trade reports in vain
to discover when the one eDSed and
the other began. Both were obliged to
make vast expenditures for much
needed public works. The rapidly ex-
panding needs of government business
must be met. The national equipment
must keep pace with our national
growth. yet always with due regard to
the principles of sound economy in
public expenditure. We have pursued
no parsimonious policy on the one
hand nor INDUCED in extravaganza on
the other We have measured the
public expense by the public necessity
Roosevelt Faithful to Pledge.
The convention did well in it's hear

of President Roosevelt. This is sharp
ly challenged by the opposition. We
accept the issue with confidence. The
president assumed the responsibilities
OF chief executive with pledge to car

met of President Mckinley, composed
of statesmen of eminent ability, in
whom the country placed entire conf
dence. He carried forward the un-
completed work faithfully and success
fully. The pledge has been kept scrup.
ulously; the promise has been fulfilled.
Peace and good order have been main
tanned. Domestic and foreign trade
have increased and relations of amity
have been preserved with foreign pow
ers.
Conservative Foreign Policy.
The foreign policy of the administra-
ton has been conservative, just, and
firm, and has made for the advance
ment of peace. Time and events have
given us larger place in international
affairs. While we have enlarged our
foreign commerce, we have increased
our prestige abroad, not with the
sword but through the peaceful agen-
cy of enlightened diplomacy.
Thirty treaties have been concluded
and proclaimed and stand to the cred
1t of the administration. Some of
these are OF far-reach1ng Importance.
Among the number are the Hay
Pauncefote treaty, superseding the
Clayton-Bulwer convention, which
stood in the way of the construction
of an isthmian canal; the Panama ca
nal treaty, the Alaskan boundary
treaty, and commercial treaties with
China and with Cuba.

Events in the far east suggest the

REPUBLICAN, CANDIDATE FOR
VICE PRESIDENT STANDS BY
PARTYs RECORD.
ACCEPTS CHALLENGES
Declares That the Deeds Of the Repub.
!can Administration Will Stand the
Closest Scrutiny and Merit the Full
Dependence of the Voters.

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. o. - The
letter of Senator Charles W.Fairbanks
accepting the nomination as the repub-
lican candidate for vice president was
made public last night In his letter
the senator discusses chiefly the for
e!gn policy of the administration, the
question of protection and reciprocity,
the gold standard and the trusts.
Senator Fairbanks declares that the
prosperity and material growth of the
nation would be endangered by the
success of the democratic party at the
coming election. He denies that the
gold standard is ''irrevocably establish
ed" declaring that the gold standard
rests solely upon the pleasure of con-
Igress and that a hostile congress
could at any time sweep it out of ex-
istence.
! A revision Of the tariff by the demo
Ecrats the senator ayers, would awaken
and labor.
Il Text Of the Letter.
4 The senator's letter of acceptance
lin full as follows:
/ The Hon. Elihu Root, chairman of
notification comnlittee-My Dear Sir:
In accordance with the promise made
when you formally notified me of my
nomination for vice president, avail
myself of this opportunity to submit
ito you and through you to my fellow
citizens, some further views with re.
spect to the questions in issue before
the people.
] The principles which are so frankly
and felicitously expressed in the plat
form adopted by the republican nation
ial convention meet with my heartiest
approval. In the main they have been
subjected to the test OF actual expert
ence and have been found to be well
suited to our industrial and national
needs. They have brought us to a
high state Of material development,
and have made the nations name re-
spected among the powers of the
earth.
The utterances of political parties
must be interpreted in the light of
that practical construction which they
have put upon them When intrusted
with power. 1t is not alohe what they

public land sales to the reclamation of
the irrigable portions Of our arid and
semi-arid public domain meets my
cordial approval. Through the en-
lightened policy thus established un--
der the present administration, the
long deferred hopes of the struggling
settlers Of the great arid and semi
arid west will be realized In the up
building of substantial communities
in places hitherto waste, or compare
lively unproductive. At the same time
vast area of the public domain will
be opened, upon which the industri-
GUS homeseekers, now residing In ov-
ercrowded eastern centers, may find
homes. The sum of over $20.OO0,0OO,
now available in the reclamation fund,
to which additions are constantly be-
Ing made, guarantees, under wise adj
ministration, great progress In the
work Of irrigation and the settlement
of the arid region within few years.
The development of trade with the
orient promises to absorb the increas-
ed production of cereals in the far
west, SO as to leave the market condt-
lions on the Atlantic sea-board I'M
disturbed. The settlement of the pres
ent unproductive regions will open
new market for the manufactures Of
the east.
could I consider all of the declara-
lions embraced in the platform Of the
convention. Further reflection but
strengthens my opinion of their Wis
dom, and I shall give them my earnest
support.
We are gratified that sectional diff
ferences have disappeared, and that a
| fraternal spirit pervades the people Of
| all sections of our country. We re-
joice in national inheritance which
! is our common pride. Republican
policies are as broad as our country's
needs. They are neither sectional or
racial in their generous design.
We are inspired with one high pur-
pose, and that is, under divine guild
ance, to promote peace and good Or
der. virtue and knowledge, justice, pa
triotism and prosperity among our
countrymen and to. increase to the
utmost the strength and honor of the
great republic. Very respectfully yours,
Charles w. Fairbanks.

Reading, Pa, Sept. Ex-senator
Fairbanks spoke at the meeting of the

serve the home market so far as pos
sible to our own producers"
This said the senator, is the pol
icy to which we adhere. Our demo-
cratic friends are divided upon some
important questions, but with respect
to the tariff they are united. They
stand by their traditional policy Of
hostility to the productive system.
The republicans do not propose to in
wife return of conditions which ex-
listed during the last democratic adj
ministration. We want no policy
which will close American factories
and turn our labor into the street.

Schaballa employed Simpson. who
lives near Flensburg, to build barn
Both were in Swanville Monday and
made tour of the saloons. Simpson
got rather intoxicated and wouldn t

Marshal Buelow ordered Simpson to
go home, but he hung around till
evening, and his employer decided to
stay at Swanville till morning. When
Schaballa got up in the morning he
found his pocketbook. with $685. in
bills, gone. He supposed that perhaps
Simpson,, who roomed with him, and
who got little purse from him Mon
day, had taken the money as a joke.
The old man said nothing, evidently
fearing Simpson, and the two left for
home. When within a mile of Flens-
burg Simpson made proposition to
60 to Little Falls, which the old
man refused, and Joe offered him
money to make the drive. He still

Simpson reached Little Falls Tuesday,
and exceedingly surprised several peo-
pie by paying some bills he owed, and
exhibited a lot of money, which crea-
ted some comment. On receipt of the
Flensburg message Simpson was ar
rested, and $240 found on him. His
alleged victim arrived on the freight
and made complaint before Justice

and asked for time, which was
granted.
Simpson was mixed up in an affair
in this city last year. when it was
claimed he robbed man Of some
money, but got free.
