Talk about the harbingers of
spring, but the sure sign is the tramp
who is looking for something for
nothing. Two of the gentry struck
this Office Monday. One wanted the
customary bundle of old papers and
the other was working the deaf and
dumb racket. Each had an eagle eye
on the watch for work that it might
be avoided with the least trouble pos
sible. With labor demanding almost
any kind of wages and scarce at that
there is no excuse for feeding tramps.
Let them work or starve, and if they
prefer to starve let it be as quick as
possible.
The first rain of the season fell
Tuesday night, April %. followed the

rain had fallen up to Tuesday night,
The rain at that time was a good
thing. Not that it was required to

Spring cannot be said to have
fairly opened up until the first of this
week, although considerable seeding
| had been done before. Even at that
we are ahead of most other sections
of the northwest. Nebraska, Color
ado, Kansas, North Dakota, and Min
nesota were visited by snow, and also
the southern part of this state. In
North Dakota, in many parts, the
snow and ice on the fields had pre-
vented all attempts at seeding. We
are far better off than our neighbors.

tack the vital organs, causing Catarrh of
the bladder, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
cure is obtained quickest by p oper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel
ing badly you can make no mistake by
taking DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-ROot, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
1t corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to go often through the day,
and to get up many times during the
night. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
1t 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 fifty-cent and
one-dollar size bottles. You may have a
sample bottle of this wonderful new dis
covery and book that tells all about it,
both sent free by mail. Address, DIR. Kill

poison In this analysis Is the whole
foundation for the case, except for
some suspicious circumstances that
would not be In any sense sufficient to
hold either Of tho accused without the
proof of poison that Is being sought.
Briefly stated, these circumstances
are that ut the time OF Strange's
death he came home from a run and
ate a hearty breakfast. after which no

was called insbS Mrs. Strange; neigh
