COUNTRY PRODUCE.
Women s. Kidneys.

Women are more often afflicted
with kidney disorders than men, but
attribute the symptoms to diseases
peculiar to their sex, while in reali-
ty the kidneys are deranged. Ner-
vousness, headache, puffy or dark
circles under the eyes, pain in the
back, are signs of kidney trouble
that must not be ignored, or seri-
our malady will result. Foley's
Kidney Cure has restored the
health of thousands of weak, ner-
vOus, broken down women. 1t stops
irregularities and strengthens the
urinary organs. 1t purifies the
blood and benefits the whole sys-
tenn. Sold by Il. w. Fearis.

10 ADMIRAL WALKER, of the Panama
@anal commission, announces that
will be probably two years before
the active work of digging can be
commenced. He states that the
1rst consideration is the establish
ment of sanitary conditions on the
isthmus At Colon, he says the
conditions are decidedly unsanitary,
and the town may have to be raised
two or three feet and proper drain
age established before men can
work without danger to their lives.
In view of this fact it appears that
the commission should have the SER
vices of some member of the medical
profession. The engineering pro-
blem cannot be solved until the
question of sanitation is solved.

UNCLE SAM MUST PAY
FOR SINKING A VESSEL
Mulcted 100000 Because the
Cruiser Columbia Sent British
Ship to the Bottom.
INCIDENT OF LATE WAR

NEW YORK, April 12-After long litiga-
ton it was decided here to-day by Judge
Adams, in the United States District Court
that the United States must pay the sum
of $203, 219 to the owners of the British ship
Foscolia, which was sunk on May %, 1898,
by the United States cruiser Columbia.
On the night of May rs. 1885, the Columbia
was doing scout duty off the North Amer
lean coast. on the lookout for the Spanish
fleet under Admiral Cervera. All lights
were covered and the vessel was proceeding
under orders from Admiral Howell, with
out sounding the fog signals, required by
maritime laws at sea. About ten miles
south of Fire island light she collided with
the Foscolia, which sunk with its cargo
owners of the sunken vessel, Watts, Watts
Co., of London, being English, could not
sue the United States until May, 1902, when
Congress enacted special law under which
action was brought.
Judge Adams, at the commencement de-
cided that the Columbia was at fault and
caused the collision and that the United
States was as responsible for it's vessels
at sea private owner would be, because
it dsregarded the international rules of
the road at sea.
A commission appointed to take testi-
mOny in half a dozen cities rendered a re-
port fixing the value of the ship and cargo
at 1908, PIG, making, however. no allowance
for interest, which was claimed from the
date Of the sinking of the ship and amount
ing to about $50, 600. To this report excep-
tions were filed and to-day's opinion of
award of the commissioner covers the full
loss.
