What To DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge 30
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulflls every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part Of the urinary passage.
1t corrccts inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and oyercomes that unpleasant ne
ccssity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect OF Swamp-Roof
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest
for its wonderful cures OF the most dis
trcssing cases. If you need a medicine
you should have the best. Sold by drug

er as the armor-piercing shell.
The first is more solid than the
latter, has a smaller hollowspace
and so carries less explosive ma
terial, although both are really
shells. The armor-piercing shell
carries a large quantity OF high
explosives, and while it may not
go 50 far through tha armor OF o
ship, it eXplodes with such ter
rifle force that it tears every
thing in the vicinity to pieces. In
these experiments armor th e

strength and hardness as that OF
a naval vessel is set up and the
great guns at Sandy Hook are
fired squarely at it, produc ING
the same results as they would
were they fired at the side of an
armored ship. The guns are fred
at short range, of course, but SO
accurately can these things be
calculated that by decreasing
the charge of powder placed be-
hind the proiectile. or shell, pre-
cisely the same effect can be pro-
duced at will as if the shell were
fired at range OF 5000, 5000 or
5000 yards, the latter being the
greatest distance at which the
big 12-iuch coast defense guns
can be fred with accuracy. Thus
far, the advantage in destruc-
tive power seems to be with the
armor-piercing shell, which was
the type Of projectile used with
such deadly effect by the Japan
ese on Admiral Roiesventsky's
fleet.
When asked recently ifthe Rus
so-Japanese war did not prove q
valuable object lesson to army
ordnance experts a prominent
officer explained to your cores
pondent that there was great dis
appointment in this respect be-
cause the japanese have abso-
lutely refused to give out any in
formation regarding the results
OF their gunfire They captured
most OF the Russian vessels, even
raising those thatwere sunk, and
so they have the only means OF
gaining accurate information,
and this they have tightly bot
tied up for their own use. The
Russians, on the contrary, are
willing to tell all they know al
though this, unfortunately, is
comparatively little, as viewed
from the standpoint OF the ordi-
nary experts. 1t is declared to be
quite characteristic of the Japs
that they should refuse to per-
NIT other nations to profit by
their experience, but it is very ag
gravating to those who had hop
ed to gain valuable information
from the first war in which mod
ern guns, smokeless powder and
modern armor were employed.
Speaking OF the big guns OF the
army and navy, some remarka-
bic progress has been made IN
both arms of the service in the
shooting OF these great weapons.
Only two per cent OF the shots
fred at Admiral Cearvera's fleet
hit the mark, while now naval
gunners often make go and 10
per cent of hits at similarranges.

"Woman in Black" Who has Lone

| Marion, Ind, March 9.-The "Wo-

was arrested yesterday by officer
Noah Mcpherson of the police, and
has confessed that she is the woman

vel r.. has been seen in the highways
and byways of Marion at unseemly
hours of the night. She was found
yesterday at the Big Four railway
station, where she had taken posses
sion of the women's waiting-room to
sleep off the effects of the previous
nights revelry.
Sarah Upton is the name given by
this strange character. She has no
relatives and her condition is deplor-
able. She formerly was the wife OF
William Thomas, of this city, but was
divorced from him several years ago.
In recent years she has worked at
hotels part of the time, but being
addicted to the use Of opiates could
remain nowhere long at time. She
spent her nights wandering about
the streets and it was while prowl-
ing about that she frightened SO
many women and children.
No serious offenses were ever
charged against the woman and when
arrested yesterday there was only
one thing to do and that was to pro-
vide for her by the county's charity.
She was taken to the county infirm-
airy on the order of Trustee A. H.

hoped to cure her of the drug habit
