The following simple home made
mixture Is said to readily relieve and
overcome any form of rheumatism by
forcing the kidneys to filter from the
blood and system all the uric acid and
poisonous waste matter, relieving at
once such symptoms as backache, weak
kidneys and bladder and blood diseases.
Try it, as it doesn't cost much to make
and is said to be absolutely harmless to
the stomach.
Get the following han mless ingredients
from any good pharmacy: Fluid ex-
tract dandelion, oue-half ounce; COM
pound kargon, one ounce; compound
syrup sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix
by shaking we'll in p bottle, and take a
teaspoonful after each meal and again
at bedtime.
This simple mixture is said TO give
prompt relief, and there are very few
cases of rheumatism and kidney trou-
bles it will fail to cure permanently.
These are all harmless, every day
drugs, and your druggist should keep
them in the prescription department; il
not, have him order them from the
wholesale drug houses for you, rather
than fail to use this, il you are afflict.

KEMP TO BE INDICTED.
Ascending Chief Clerk of Police De-
partment Charged With Crime.


AS a result of its investigation into the
conduct of the office of chief clerk and
property clerk of the police department by
James Arthur Kemp, who left the city July
last and who has not been apprehended,
the grand jury, it is understood, has filed a
presentment with United States Attorney
Baker, on which will be based one or more
indictments against Kemp for embazzle-
ment The papers are being prepared and.
It Is expected, will be filed In court tomor-
row morning
Kemp is charged by the police with an
propriating TO his own use about 5000 Of
the funds of the Metropolitan Police Relief
Association, including the reserve fund of
the association, and $50 which had been
collected by him through means OF assess
ments on the members of the force for the
benefit OF Mrs. Flynn, widow of Policeman
Flynn. The policeman named for many
years was stationed at the Police Court
1t was the persistent calls of Mrs Flynn
for settlement of her claim. it is believed,
that determined Kemp to absent himself
from his office the day of his departure
from the city. The alleged endorsement of
these funds, it is expected, will be made
the basis of one Indictment.
Another indictment covering the alleged
appropriation by Kemp of the funds con-
tanned in certain envelopes held in his office
for safe keeping will probably be returned
These envelopes contained money taken
from insane persons who fell into the hands
of the police and from persons charged with
crime. and were being held by the property
clerk as evidence. Kemp also received the
proceeds from the sale of abandoned and
condemned property taken by the police for
which no owner made claim.
1t is alleged that he received checks for
the amount, realized from such sales. and
instead of turning the checks over to the
collector of taxes cashed them and appro-
priated the money TO his own use.
