WHEREABOUTS IS
 STILL A MYSTERY
LONDON PAPERS ALL DIFFER IN THEIR oPIoNS AS TO WHAT HAS BECOME OF MRS FLORENCE MAVERICK.

London, February 1.-The whereabouts of Mrs Maybrick is variously announced in the newspapers this morning as Corn wall Holloway prison. at sea, bound for the United States. etc.
 The Daily Chronicle which Is under the same ownership as Lloyds weekly news paper, the journal that on Sunday pub lished the story of Mrs. Maybrick's re- lease, declares the statement that Mrs Maybrick has sailed for the United States to be untrue, and adds that she Is still in England, and that certain conditions attached to her liberation impel her to exercise great discretion in her attitude towards the public, and for a time at least 1t will only be possible for her to aeknowl- edge through the press her gratitude for the efforts of her sympathizers in her ob- taning her release.
 The Daily News says that the where abouts of the institution in which Mrs. Maybrick Is recuperatng, is kept a pro- found secret and that she is still in the custody of officers.
 "In fact" the paper says, Mrs. May brick and her custodians are concealing their identity, and this is necessitated by her being privileged to walk abroad with her female wardens. It is understood that after a period of rest, she will return to either Weeking or Holloway prison to receive her formal discharge on special lcepse.

Thousands of Women Have Kidney
 Trouble and Never Suspect 1t.

WOMEN suffer untold misery because the nature of their disease is not always correctly understood in many cases when doctoring they are led to believe that womb trouble or female weakness of some sort is responsible for their ills, when in fact disordered kidneys are the chief cause of their distressing troubles. Per- haps you suffer almost continually with pain in the back, bearing down feelings, headache and utter exhaustion.
 Your poor health makes you nervous. irritable, and at times despondent; but thousands of just such suffering or bro- ken-down women are being restored to health and strength every day by the use of that wonderful discovery, pr. Kilmer's s swamp-Root. the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.

MORE THAN 8OOO
 PULL TAXES PAID
Great Rush for the Tax CoIlec-
 tors Office Yesterday
CANDIDATES VERY ACTIVE
More Than HOO Voters Paid Yester- day, and the Number Now Quali- fled Makes Record-The
 Scenes at Court House.

Though the hard-worked clerks in the office of the Jefferson county tax collec- tor were too tired and worn out last night to make a definite statement, they were positive that more than HOO men had paid poll tax yesterday. and that the total number for the county would be over 5000. This is the largest number of voters who have ever paid poll tax in Jefferson county.
 For several days past it was thought that the number of poll tax receipts is- sued would fall short of TOO, last years number, but the voters came with rush yesterday and last night, and when the doors of the tax collectors office were closed an exhausted lot of clerks sat around and discussed the situation.
 Great Rush.
 From early in the morning until late in the afternoon there was great rush in the tax collectors office, and the cor ridor leading in that direction was packed and damned Not all of these were voters however, for 1t proved rich harvest for the candidates, and they were not long in finding 1t out. In looking over the crowd from a position of safety one could not distinguish which were voters and which were candidates.
 As the heavy door leading Into the office would swing open. there would be a grand rush for the tax-paid voter. and after surgng motion of the crowd a poor lib- erty-lovng citizen would be seen to emerge from the throng with candidates cards in each hand and his pockets stuffed to overnowing
 Candidates Anxious.
 The candidates grew so anxious that all men looked alike to them and newspaper reporters who went into the office ten or twelve times a day received a fresh card each trip. A certain candidate who never allows a voter to get by him after paying his poll tax has given one reporter his card twice every day for the last two weeks and yesterday he made 1t an even dozen. The reporter says that he is sav- ing these cards and as soon as they have accumulated to respectable number he will return them to the giver that he might use them again on election day.
 Now that the anxiety over the "belov- ed' people paying their poll tax has sub sided the candidates are getting right down to business and it is said several trips are being planned into the huslxings. Dinner and breakfast parties are being arr ranged by several of the leading farmers in the rural districts and there will soon be dearth of "doings' in town as the office seekers hie themselves to the tall timber. Having worked hard on the city vote for two or three weeks the candi- dates feel that new fields await them and the country precincts must be visited. As few of these precincts are on the railroads no excursions will be run for the benefit of the "candidatial" army.

There is such a pleasant taste to Swamp-Root, and 1t goes right to the spot and drives disease out of the system. It has cured me, and I cheerfully recommend it to all sufferers. Gratefully yours

siderable force to the asphalt pave
ment, striking on his left side.
He was somewhat dazed by the
full and was assisted to his feet by
II friend who happened to be in the
neighborhood. After resting n few
minutes he decided to return home
aud walked back. His family
physician, DR.. L. T. Sewers, was
called in. and finding grating at
the shoulder joint when the arm
was manipulated, he called DR..
james 7 Mitchell in consultation
a thorough examination was made
and is was discovered that the
neck bone of the upper arm where
it joins on to the shoulder was
fractured The physicians say it is
not n severe fracture and that
nothing serious is anticipated,
though he will have 10 be kept
