/ Pain is natures signal of distress. la warning that must not be ignored. Those sharp twinges in the back, those stabilize pains that follow any sudden twist or turn, are simply signs of hidden danger in the kidneys. No trouble starts more easily, gains around more rapidly. nor proves more often fatal than any disorder of the kidneys. All the outward ap- pearances of health may remain until a terrible disease had taken root
 It is best to learn the duties of the Kidneys, to watch for early signs of trouble, and to correct any irregular 1ty before its serious stage begins.
 The blood goes to the kidneys in an incessant stream. to be cleared of poi son and relieved of surplus water. This is passed off by the kidnsys In the urine It is the retention of poi son in kidney trouble that breeds fatal disease.

 Milroy of Jersey City. writes to the New York Post that: Nine weeks ago lost my place in the business office of an iron company on account of dull times and about two weeks ago. after searching in vain here for work. went 10 PittsbHrg to look for work.

The movement to organize labor associations, like those found in the western countries was started among the iron workers some 10 years ago by men who proved later to be rad ical socialists, says a writer in the Engineering Magazine. At first the movement seemed to be eminently successful, but within a year or two the enthusiasm of these leaders cooled down and, moreover, careless utterances of these men brought about the determined opposition or the government and the conservative elements of the nation. It was very unfortunate from the workingman' $ standpoint that they gathered under the leadership of these men who were sure sooner or later to incur the displeasure of practically all classes. Conditions would have been quite different from what they are now, if both the workingmen and leaders had been more prudent. The original leaders, who seem to have set themselves to this work merely to use the organizations as stepping stones 10 get into the poli- tics of the nation or, at best, to further their socialistic propaganda. began to desert the ranks of the workingmen when the latter realized the disadvantages of relying upon men who had a different end in view from that at which they themselves aimed From this on there were many changes. Suffice to say that the percentage of men enrolled in the organization Is very small. and that it is inefficient as the means of protecting and furthering their in. terests. There are two points 10 DC noted in this connection; first, they exert their best efforts toward mu. tual assistance in cases Of sickness of and accidents to their fellow members, and establishment and i'm. provement of cooperative stores; second, they do not meddle with pol itics.

 main silent" For"' the, benefit of others who may be deceived like MT
 Milroy was, it is necessary to say
 that the stories emanating from
 Pittsburg and other centers about
 resumption of work by factories are
 much exaggerated. There has been
 a slight improvement in some lines
 of business in the east and some
 factories have started up, but there
 will be no general resumption un-
 til after the crops are assured and
 the result of the coming election IS
 known. Tn the agricultural states, west of the Mississippi, there is comparatively good times in con- sequence of the. big prices of farm products and the favorable prospect for the new crops. The Sunshine clubs are inspired from railroad sources and are said to be ins;igat ed for political and stock jobbins purposes, it being necessary fol Hartman and others to bolster uI the Wall street speculative market 1 and for the republican politicians to | lend hand to offset the effect ot the panic and business depression l on the voters.

THAN DENIES IT.
Can't Spare the Money to Establish
 a Summer Home.


 Summer Home.
 Poughkeepsie, Aug 5.--Harry -Thaw denied that he will undertake this summer the establishment of summer home for poor children at Cresson Springs. He Is in sym pathy with the undertaking, but on account of the heavy expenses in- cured during his trials is unable at present to spare money to finance the project x
 Thaw says that there are plenty of men in Pittsburg who could sup port the work. One or two cottages at. Cresson Springs might be util> 1 ized this summer. They can easily be prepared to receive healthy chill 1 dren and a two weeks visit would | give them great pleasure and bene- l fit. The Thaw cottage and the B, F. Jones cottage coould be used for 1 housing the more delicate children. All the others would make fine and l dry camps.
 Thaw suggests that as no lons leases would be required the cot tage owners might loan their cot tages free of rent. The only ex- penses would be bedding, which during the warm months need be of no dearer quality than Is used ih prisons, and of course the cost oi food. The surrounding country would supply most of this at cheap rates. The Pennsylvania railroad, he thinks, would give very cheap excur- sion rates, good on designated trains for the children and those in charge of them h :. |. If some such plan as this can be carried out it will be gratifying tc Thaw, who will be very glad to give all the credit to the active workers Even if the project is started on small scale the experience, .he thinks, will be valuable to poin. the way for a larger enterprise nex summer.

HEARST LEADER FOR BRYAN.
c. Augustus HaviIand Repudiates Ac
 tion of Independence League.

New York, Aug 5-C. Augustus Haviland of Brooklyn, who has been one of the leaders of the Independ- ence league forces in that borough, returned from Europe Monday on the steamship Rotterdam after an absence of four months. He came out strongly against the action taken by the Independence league conven- tion at Chicago, pronounclng 1t a suicidal leap" and declares his pur- pose to support Bryan. He said: MT Bryan owes his nomination to that commanding ability now recog- nized by the people of this country and all other lands and not to anw mere registering machine controlled by a lot of political bosses,
 "The plain people have come to know this better than they did in 1s96, and they cannot be hoodwink- ed by the cry of iobbers-politica or financial. While the Independence league seems determined to commit suicide, only Mir Taft and the Inde- pendence league will suffer through the presentation of an Independence league ticket at the coming cleo tfons."

Highly Entertains Big Audiences In
lectures on "Jane Austen" and
Ie"George Elliott" Under Auspices Of
the Teachers Club.
The, third of a series of lectures upon
great novelists by Prof j.. c. Carter
Troop, of Chicago university under the
auspices of the Teachers club of Canton,
was marked by an attendance exceed
ing lin numbers that of any previous
number of the series. The lecture was
given in the First Presbyterian church
on West Tuscarawas street, and the
spacious edifice was insufficient to ac-
commodate all those who clamored for
admittance, and several of the smaller
ante rooms of the church had to be
pressed into service
All of the teachers, and others who
composed the audience, showed remark
able preparation of the subject which
Prof. Troop discoursed, and consequent-
ly they were able to appreciate the lee
ture to the full extent or its value. In
the late afternoon, the lecture was upon
Jane Austen" and in the evening, the
speaker devoted his time to George FL
lot" The evening lecture was sched-
uled to be ended at s o'clock, to allow
those present to attend the Symphony
| orchestra concert, but when that time
came scarcely a dozen of the audience
left the church, and the speaker was
persuaded to continue

| Troop gave a description of her char
acter, and devoted the remainder of his
time to a discourse upon her chief nov

moral import of the work. In literary

GIRL IDENTIFIES
ASSAILANT IN JAIL

Alliance. Nov. 20.-'Squire Charles
Myres, of Deerfield, accompanied by
F. H. Hartzell, of North Benton, came
to Alliance Friday morning armed
with a state warrant for the arrest of
one Peter Breeze, who is charged
with assaulting Hazel, the fifteen-year-
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. F. H.
Hartzell The warrant was issued up
on the affidavit of Hartzell. The girl,
it is stated, was returning from school
on Thursday evening; Breeze, it is al
legged, is a fireman on the local freight
of the l.. e. A. & w. railroad. and at
the hour named when the assault was
made, his locomotive was sidetracked
at the North Benton station, awaiting
the arrival of a passenger train.
Breeze, it is alleged, left his train and
followed the girl. The two were ac-
quainted, and when she passed the
station had spoken to each other. The
girl passed on in the direction of her
home, and glancing back she states
she saw Breeze following her. She
quickened her pace and the man did
likewise until he broke into run
and overlook her. He said to her:
"What is the matter, my girlie?" and
at the same time placed his hand over
her mouth and grasped her by the
neck. She struggled to get free and
the two fell to the ground. Then the
girl screamed. and her assailant be-
coming frightened, allowed the girl
to escape.
During this time the passenger train
had passed and the station master
had signalled the local to proceed
and the engineer had to blow the
whistle to call the fireman in.
Myres and Hartzel came to ALI
ance for the purpose Of making the
arrest of Breeze 1t is stated that an
additional charge of attempt to rape
will be filed against the man. Mr.
Hartzell stated that he proposed to
push the case to the limit.
Breeze was arrested upon his ar
rival in Alliance at 10 a. m. Friday
morning and placed in the city jail
He was taken to Deerfeld township
during the afternoon, where a prelin1-
mary hearing Will take place before
Squire Charles Myres During the
afternoon Miss Hartzell visited the
Jail and identified the prisoner as the
man who assaulted her. The arrest
was made by Officer Mason.

the amendment was adopted, under
the then existing law providing for a
term of three years beginning on the
third Monday of September, 1906.
The supreme court has held that
he is entitled to his term as provided
by the law then existing, and by the
authority OF the amendment itself
his term will not expire until Sep
tember, 1909.
Mr.. Mcdonald was elected in 1906,
under the operation of both the
amendment and the new statute. His
term was two years and should have
begun December /, 1906, and will
expire December /, 1908.
His predecessor, however, having
been elected under the old law and
the constitution before it's amendment,
was entitled to his full term of three
years expiring September, 1907. This
resulted in an overlapping of terms
which was doubtless unforeseen and
could not well have been provided
against. Having been elected since
the enactment of the extension act
no claim can be made for the exten-
sion of his term beyond the date
uA6u lOE lIS 6AplIdIlOu ny ldW.
Mr.. Mcdonald will therefore STEP
down and out on December l, having
served out all that was left to him
of term that was unavoidably abridg.
ed by the adjustment to the new or.
der of things.
| The successor of Mr.. Burnheimei
will suffer the same fate. beginning
his term as he will in September, 1909
and serving a short term to end De-
/ cember I. 1910.
without these hardships, the new
! system could not be inaugurated.
Out of this situation arises another
question for the solution of which
no provision is made.
On December 1, 1908, two vacancies
will exist in the Office of county com
missioner. Three CommissiOners-elec
are entitled by the statute to assume
office on that day. No priority il
enjoyed by any one of the three. Yet
if the above reasoning be correct, on,
of the three must postpone his entT!
into office until September, 1909, tn
expiration of Mr.. Burnheimer's term
and then forego ten months of tht
term to which he has been duly elect
ed.

When he reached his room and prepar-
ed to retire he found blood trickling
down from G small hole in his abdo-
men, near the naval. This did not
seem to give him much concern, for
he continued to walk around the room,
attempting as he did so to stop the
flow of blood. The shooting was re-
ported and when his body was eX-
amined by the officers another hole
was found in his body. This one was
near the spine. This was fully an
hour after the shooting took place.
Captain Patterson summoned Miller
& Blanchard's ambulance and the man
was sent to Mercy hospital where
City Physician Post was called to at
tend to him. DR.. Post called Drs.
Schuffell and DaHinden to his assist
ance and preparations were made to
save the mans life if possible. DR..
Post said that the bullet had passed
entirely through the mans body and
he believed that the intestines had
been cut in the bullets path. He
could not tell at the time he reported
what the final outcome would be, but
stated that the injured man was in
prevarious condition. He is about
45 years of age.
When the officers arrived at the
Mason home she was still in ignor-
ance of the result of the shooting.
When told that she had shot one OF
the men she almost keeled over and
her husband was summoned to his
home at once. Owing to the woman's
condition Captain Patterson decided
that it would be best to allow her
to remain at home with her children
during the remainder of the night, her
husband promising that he would be
at the Office of Mayor Tdrubull with
her Saturday morning Mrs. Mason
