WHY KIDNEY DISEASE
 IS DANGEROUS.
Neglect of the First Warning Symp- toms is the Prime Cause of so Many Deaths from the Dreaded
 Bright's Disease.
It is Easily Durable in the Early Stages.

Kidney diseases are so destructive to human life because they do not manifest alarming symptoms until the constitu- ton is seriously weakened and the strength exhausted. Then, too often, the remedies employed by many physi- clans are of indifferent or doubtful value, and the patient rapidly sinks under the disease. The wisest course is to apply reliable kidney and liver remedy on the first abbearance of the symptoms. A little uneasiness in the small of the back, digestive troubles, bowel irregularities and disorder in the urinary organs are matters of small moment in the estima- tion of strong men and women, yet they have serious meaning. They show clearly that the kidneys are suffering and need help, which must be forth coming at once to prevent serious, per- haps fatal consequences. A few doses of Prickly Ash Bitters at this time would prove of incalcu1able value in restoring the weakened organs to health. An investment of one dollar in a bottle of Prick1y Ash Bitters when the disease is yet in the early stage will save hundreds of dollars in doctors bills, besides the suffering that would surely follow should the disease be allowed to fasten itself i'll the body. The excellent curative power of Prickly Ash Bitters is not confined to the first stages of kidney disease. It is equally ehicacious in severe or chronic cases. Physicians have used it as last resort, in cases that defed their best efforts, with the most brilliant results, and it has shown its superiority over the many so-cal1ed kidney cures, now being loudly advertised, in instances innu- merab1e.
 Accept no substitute. Insist on having

SHERLOCK HOLMES AGAIN.
A New Series of Detective Sto-
 ries in the Kansas City Star.

Conan Doyle's detective sto- ries, with the marvellous Sher- lock Holmes as their hero, have achieved the greatest success of recent years. Appreciating this fact, the publisher of Golfers Weekly, New York, induced MT. Doyle to write a final series of the great detectives adventures. Repeated refusals were followed by increased inducements, and finally MT. Doyle agreed to write thirteen stories for S45, ,000, or about eC cents word. The en- tire correspondence was by ca ble.
 The amount paid by Golfers is the largest ever paid for such work and does not include the right to publish the stories in book form. By special arrange ment with Golfers these famous stories are being printed in the Kansas City Star, one story each week, beginning in the daily edition of Saturday, February II, and in the weekly Wednesday, February 15.
 None of the present popular features of the Star will be cut down or omitted to make room for this remarkable set of stories. Practically the contents of a Sl.5O book will be added to the con- tents of the Star in three months without any increase of the sub- scription price, 10 cents week for the daily Star, (mornlng, evening and Sunday, 19 complete papers a week. and 25 cents g wear for the weekly Star.

REMARKABLE CURE OF
 RHEUMATISM.

Mir. Michael Doran, employed by the American Bridge Co.,, Youngstown, O., writes: q want to say for the benefit of my fellowmen that I have been suf- fering for a long time with acute Rheumatism in my knees. I had tried every kind of remedy, including an expensive course of electrical treat ment, but all of no avail. One day at the suggestion of my druggist took a bottle of Paracamph to try. The effect of it's use was magical. l got relief at once, and after using three or four bottles believe am perma- nently cured. It is certainly a won derful remedy, and upon my advice a number of friends have tried Para camph, and the verdict is unanimous that it will do all that is claimed for it." Don't suffer from Rheumatism, Lumbago, Sore and Stiff Joints. Use Paracamph. It has cured others and will cure you. Your druggist will sell 1t to you on a guarantee of satisfaction or money refunded. No cure, no pay. Get bottle to-day. Trial size 25c family sizes soc and $1.OO. If you have never tried Paracamph we will send you a trial size free. Write to-day. The Paracamph Co.,, Louisville, Ky.

Senate by Mr.. Flemming. of Pitt Co.
II Is a substitute To the Ward bill which
also Is a substitute TO the Long. OF Ire
dell, and former Ward bills. There's
one strong point of difference between
the pending Ward bill and the subsu-
tute proposed by MIR. F1emming, and
that is that the latter absolutely omits

An amendment was offered 10 the
Ward bill changing the words l.5oe in

the number of people in towns already

The amendment was accepted by Mr.

A Respite Granted.

Windsor, VT, Speciak-A few hours
after receiving the last rites OF the
Catholic Church and hearing her faith
er confessor read the prayers for the
dying, Mrs. Mary Mabel Rogers, who
was sentenced to die upon the gallows
Friday for the murder Of her husband,
listened with amazement to the an
nouncement of High Sheriff Henry H.
Peck, that Governor Bell had granted
her a reprieve of four months.
Preparations for the execution had
been perfected. The gallows had been
erected in the west wing of the prison,
a heavy black curtain hanging from
the guard room windows shutting the
gruesome machinery of death from
public view. Sheriff Peck carried the
news OF the reprieve to the prisoner.
Mrs. Rogers was seated at table
writing letter to her mother. Ap-
parently supposing that the sheriff had
come to read the death warrant, she
arose and moved toward the door,
Sheriff Peck had never seen Mrs
Rogers before that moment. Walking
up to the door, he said: Mrs. Rogers,
| am the sheriff. l have brought you
good news"
Il am glad to meet you, Mr.. Sheriff."
said Mrs. Rogers as she extended her
hand through the grating. What Is
the good news?"
Governor Bell has granted you re-
prieve until June 2" replied the
sheriff.
Mrs. Rogers remained like a statue,
as though unable to comprehend the
meaning of the words. Without a
sign of emotion, she gazed at the sher-
iff a moment, and then said: II had
given up all hope, but l am glad that
the Governor has granted me more
time. He is good man.
Mrs. Rogers. then thanked the sher-
if and his companions for the infor-
mation they brought her. She seemed
unaffected by the tidings, and as the
party moved away from the door OF
the death ceii, she retired to the table
and resumed writing.
The Governor said he granted the re-
priere in order that opportunity might
be given for a new trial, and only on
the ground that Mrs. Rogers claims
through her attorney that she has not
had a fair trial and that the evidence
presented against her was false.
Five hundred dollars was offered to
Harold Harpin, guard in the State
prison. if he would carry package OF
poison to Mrs. Rogers. The offer was
made in an anonymous letter from Bos-
ton containing $3.50 in bills. which Har-
pip received recently The writer Offer
ed TO send the other $3.50 as soon as
the poison was delivered TO Mrs.
Rogers. The guard turned the letter
over to Supt Oakes. who showed II To
Governor Bell. Postal authorities have
been asked tc investigate the letter.
