What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilrner's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfiiis every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in TIE
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. 1t conects Inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use OF liquor,
wine or beer. and oyercomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to 90 often
during the day. and to get UP many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect Of Swamp-ROot is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.

b Springfield, ILL.,, May s21.-The repub-
Slican state convention, after brief
session Friday morning, took . recess
until Tuesday, May 81. The last ballot
(the 58th) was substantially the same
as most of the ballots since the begin
ming Of the deadlock, Yates being in
the lead, but lacking about go votes Of
enough to. nominate him. The ballot
stood: Yates, 1888; Lowden, 1924; De-
neen, 1851; Hamlin, 113; Warner, SO;
Sherman, as; Pierce, 20. The candi-
dates all expressed themselves as being
well satisfied with the recess. Itseems
to be the general opinion that there is
no advantage or disadvantage in it for
any Of them. The plans Of the candi-
dates for the interim have not been
disclosed, but their energies, it is ex-
pected, will be devoted chiefly to keeping
their forces intact, SO that when the con-
vention reconvenes the deadlock is like
~ to continue, though many expect the
perfection of a combination which will
