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
a cure is obtained quickest by a proper
treatment of the kidneys. If YOU are feel
ing badly you can make no mistake by
taking DR.. 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 ffty-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
mer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. When
writing mention reading this generous
offer i'll this paper. Don't make any
mistake, but remember the name, Swamp
Root, DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, and the
address, Binghamton, N. Y, on every
bottle.

Judge James l. Allread, resi-
dent Common Pleas Judge, was
nominated at Springfield, Ohio,
last Thursday, by acclammation
for Circuit Judge for this district
by the Republican convention
held in that city on that day.
This is very gratifying to his ma
ny friends, as Judge Allread is
one of the most able and con-
scientious judges on the bench
today, and this is a deserved pro-
motion for him. He will sue
ceed Judge Harrison Wilson of
Sidney, who has occupied this
position for the past thirteen
years most creditably, and, if
elected, which he will most un-
doubtedly be, Judge Allread will
begin his term in February next.
Who will succeed Judge Allread
on the Darke Common Pleas
bench it is difficult to say just
now, much more so since a bitter
fight has been precipitated as to
the manner of selecting his sue
cessor, all of which was entirely
unnecessary and uncalled for at
this time. The Republicans, for
the good of the party in Darke
county, should at all times avoid
these conflicts within their own
ranks, and work together united
ly and harmoniously if they ex-
pect to obtain results and make
any headway against the COM
mon enemy.

BILLEK MUST HANG.
Murderer of Veral Family Is to
 Die on Scaffold.

Chicago. June Ex-Governor Deneen, on the recommendation of the board of pardon. decided not to interfere in the case of Herman Billek, under death sentence for the murder of the Veral family. The execution will take place Friday. Billek is a Bohemian fortune teller.
 The Cook county jail was trans formed into a house of worship for several minutes Sunday when $50 prisoners joined in prayer asking that the death sentence of Billek be com. muted to life imprisonment.
 The prayer meeting. without equal In the history of the jail, was entirely unpremediated. Billek's wife and four children were visiting him. Just be- fore they left, his daughter, kneeling near her father. started a prayer.
 "Oh, God. please save my papa" she said. Word was quickly passed from tier to tier from the womens ward to the pen" The building, which a few moments before had been filled with coarse laughter and coarser talk. This quieted down and even the most har- dened criminals there offered up a prayer that Billek's life might be spared.
 Billek himself, although he knew that unless Governor Deneen and the board of pardons acted In his case at once he would die on the gallows Fri day, was apparently cheerful.
 "I am confident the ord will take care of me-" he said II am innocent of the murder of the Veral family and know Father O'Callaghan and others who have worked in my behalf have obtained evidence enough to cause the pardon board to save me from hang. ing.
 But if it is decreed that I must die, l will walk to the scaffold with out fear and will repeat there that am innocent"

NOSE HARRIS REMOVED.
Persistent Political Activity" Is
 Alleged Reason.

Washington, June 9.-Moses c. Har- ris, deputy collector of internal reve- nue at San Antonio, has ben removed from office on the allegation that he has been engaged in persistent polit- ical activity" It was impossible to learn at the treasury department the specific charge against Harris, but the information was vouchsafed that he has refused to heed warning, and had persisted in his partisan political work, presumably for one of the Re publican presidential candidates. At any rate the action was taken. MT. Harris was originally from Arkansas, and formerly lived at Dallas, publish ing several papers at that city.
 He has been prominent in Texas politics and journalism for many years. He is a practical printer, learn ing the trade at Louisville, Ky. At one time he was compositor on the CourierJournal

Furry Bro liners Cause Exciting
 Time at Longview.

Iongview, Tex, June 9.-At II o'clock Monday the city was thrown into great excitement from pistol shots in several parts of town and stockmen riding furiously about the streets and courthouse square. A ne- gro. Ike Furry. was lying apparently dead in the middle of a street in the business part of town and another ne. gro. Job Furry, lying three blocks away with a bullethole in his breast and neck and shoulder. Ike Furry was shot by Deputy Sheriff Sam Page in the jaw. the bullet coming out in the neck, while resisting arrest, and as though drawing gun. Both are in jail attended by physicians.
 The cause of the trouble came about at the courthouse, when the two Furry negroes were preparing to give bond for attempting to shoot at some cattle men Saturday. Some of the cattle men began to beat Charlie Ford, a white man, who lived near the Furrys, which caused a stampede of the negro prisoners and the shooting by officers in an effort to catch the negroes. Job Furry ran through the back of the residence of City Attorney Cunning ham and was shot down while trying to disarm and kill Sheriff Little.
 The row first occurred last Satur. day, when four cattlemen-J. H. Gull yer, Vert Hope, Ike Killingsworth and Sam Page-were driving some cattle when a small yearling got in the bunch and unable to cut out. They agreed to drive the yearling on to the stock pens and then cut 1t out. They drove passed by Ike Furry's house, when a row occurred. in which Furry was beaten over head with a bottle. Getting gun he was ridden down when he attempted to shoot the stock. men. The Furry negroes went to a swamp and with much difficulty cap, tured by Sheriff Little All the stock. men were arrested and bond was ar ranged immediately.
