Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement OF the Kidneys and
a cure Is obtained quickest by a proper
treatment Of the kidneys. II you are feel

taking DR.. Kiliner's Swamp-Root, the

comes that unpleasant necessity of being

It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures Of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and IS
sold by all druggists in ffty-cent and
one-dollar size bottles. You may have a
sample bottle of this wonderful new dis

BANK THEFT EPIDEMIC.
II Has Led to an Espionage Which
DistrcSses Financial Employees.

The recent bank defalcatiOns which cul-
minated in the sensational robbery of the
Windsor Trust Company in New York by
its model teller, Runyan, have resulted
in bringing into public notice the fact.
already kn0wn to men versed in the ways
of Wall street. that theftS by employees OF
the great fiduciary institutions of the
city have become 50 common as to be OF
serious concern to the controlling inter
es1s of these institutions.
Despite the most elaborate precautions
taken by bank officials to check the raids
upon the funds entrusted to their care.
the record of embeZzements committed
since last February shows that in that
period there have been 100 per cent more
defalcations in New York than in the
preceding six months.
Several of the large banking institu-
tions which have heretofore exacted bonds
only from those of their employees to
whose care large amounts of cash were
intrusted have within the last few months
required from every clerk a guarantee of
his honesty. In the case of clerk who
does not handle funds a bond of about
5000 is now required, and the amount is
increased in accordance with the respon-
s;bility.
The surety companies. for their own
particular reasons. are cooperating with
the banks and other institutions which
have called upon them to make good losses
from theft. SO strict a watch do they
keep upon the men for whom they have
given bond that scores of detectives are
being employed to scrutinize their most
casual actions.
Bank clerks in New York City are be-
ing watched as they have never been be-
fore. They are being followed from
their places of employment to their homes
and from their homes to places of amuse-
ment.
From information furnished by one of
the detective bureaus. reporters have as
ccrtained that stealing has become so
common in the financial district that prac-
tically every man handling funds is now
under surveillance. And the chief reason
for this suspicion is said to be the knowl-
