Carnegie. Too. Against Bryan.


New York, Oct. 30.-.'It would be a
national calamity to elect Bryan de-
clared Andrew Carnegie, who returned
to New York yesterday on the White
Star line steamship Adriatic
1T is my opinion" said Mr.. Car
negie, that the election of Mr.. Bryan
would mean great tragedy to the
country. He would have the appoint
ment of certain justices of the supreme
court This means that for 20 years
the supreme court would be marked by
his appointments. The senate might
be made practically helpless in several
ways. 1t seems to me that the people
should be asking of each other: Shall
mana demagogue-like Bryan ap-
point our judges? Snould they be- ap-
pointed by a man who has taken up
nearly every cause, to lay it down
again should it not fill his sails?'"

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Uncsas;ng Work Keeps u
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once ever
three minutes. The kidneys filter
the blood. They work night and
day. When healthy they remove
about 500 grains of impure matter
daily. when unhealthy some part
of this impure matter is left in the
blood. This brings on many dis
eases and symptoms-pain in the
back, headache. nervousness, hot.
dry skin, rheumatism, govt,
gravel, disorders of the eyesight
and hearing. dizziness, irregular
heart, debility, drowsiness, dropsy,
deposits in the urine, etc. But if
you keep the filters right you will
have no trouble with your kidneys.

WOOL PRICES Low
Many Growers Reject Offers
for Their Clip.

The wool sale held at Caldwell
Tuesday was absolutely unsatisfac-
tory to the wool growers of this
section. Many of the sheep men
rejected the offers made for their
particular clip. some of the offers
being as low as 8 cents. The COM
plant Oh some of the wool was
that it was damp and on some
other it was of too short staple.
The rumor was current among the
men present at the sale that there
was an understanding among the
buyers and that it was prearranged
that one bid not above another.
About half million pounds of
wool was disposed of, however, and
many growers did not present their
wool for sale. The following is
partial list of the sales made:
Jack Little, $4,000 pounds, at
1915 cents.
Adam Blackstock. 25, 600 pounds,
at 12A cents.
Mckenzie & Sibbald, 115, 900
pounds, at 10 / 8 cents.
Walter Sibbald $4,000 pounds,
at 10K cents.
E. ]. Junior, $4,000 pounds, at
10H cents.
Joe Brownie, $4,000 pounds, at
l04 cents.
Bastelleria. $1,000 pounds, at
11H cents.
Starkey, $4,000 pounds, at 12H
cents.
James Ballantyne, %, 900 pounds.
at II u cents.
Joe Nevarro, $4,000 pounds, at
liz cents.
Among growers who rejected
bids were: March & brennan. Bal
antine Bros. George Newman,
James and John Keith, Bruce &
McCloud, Ulezega; and among
those who did not place their wool |
on sale were Andrew Little, Azzu-
cenega Bros. Azvideo, and a num-
bre of others with small clips.
The growers who did not sell
were actuated in most cases by the
very low offer made, though some
were able to hold the clip of their
aocks for higher price.

resulted in $50, 600 pounds
