HOME MADE MIXTURE
SAID TO BE INEXPENSIVE AND EASILY
PREPARED BY ANYONE.
Is Said to Promptly Relieve Backache and
Overcome Kidney Trouble and BIsd-
der Weakness Though Harmless
and Pleasant to Take.

What will appear very interesting to
many people here is the article taken
from New York daily paper, giving a
simple prescription, as formulated by a
noted authority, who claims that he
has found positive remedy to cure
almost any case of backache or kidney
or bladder arrangement, in the follow
ing simple prescription, if taken before
the stage Of Bright's disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-hali
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake we'll in bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A we'll known authority, when asked
regarding this prescription, stated that
the ingredients are all harmless, and
can be obtained at small cost from
any good prescription pharmacy, or the
mixture would be put up if asked to dc
so. He further stated that while this
prescription is often prescribed in rheu'
matte Affections with splendid results
he could see no reason why it would
not be a splendid remedy for kidney
and urinary troubles and backache, al
it has a peculiar action upon the kid
ney structure, cleansing these most i'm
pcrtant organs and helping them TO sif
and filter from the blood the foul acid
and waste matter which cause sickness
and suffering. Those who suffer car
make no mistake in giving ii trial.

WILLIAMSON TO
HAVE new TRIAL
Supreme Court Finds That Trial
Judge Erred.
Land Office Rules Require an IIIs gal
Oath and Judge Hunt Wrongly
Advised Jury Oath Denying Any
Agreement to Sell Not Required
When Making Final Proof.

Washington, Jan. 7.-Because the
judge before whom ex- Representative
Williamson was tried erred in his in
structions to the jury, the judgment Of
the lower court was yesterday reversed
by the United States Supreme court
and the case remanded for retrial
That the Indictment was correct, that
the admission of evidence was in ac-
cordance with law and that the rulings
OF the court were right and proper is
affirmed, but because the trial judge
erred in admitting certain testimony
with regard to final proof and because
he enormously instructed the jury with
regard to this same evidence, the whole
case must again 60 to trial or the in
dictment must be quashed.
The Supreme court CONSTITUTES the
timber and stone act specifically to re-
quire entrymen, at the time Of making
application for land, to submit an Aft
davit of good faith, showing that they
nave no agreement, actual or implied
to sell the land upon acquiring title
but there is no requirement that such
an affidavit shall be made when fnal
proof is submitted. The indictment o.
Williamson made specific reference tc
the affidavit required by law, and die
not mention the similar affidavit which
is exacted by the land Office regulations
at the time Of final proof. Yet evidenc,
was admitted to show that various en-
trymen had committed perjury in max
ing such affidavits with their ina
proof, and the judge, in his instruction.
to the jury, specifically informed it tina
it could return verdict Of guilty if sat
isfed that the evidence showed sucl
perjury bad been committed at tn
time of making final proof. The ad
mission of that evidence and the in
distractions relating thereto proved tn
undoing of the case against Williamson

RAILROADS TAKE MEDICINE.
Rate Law Accepted With Good Grace
by Nearly All.

Washington, Jan. More signifi-
can't and important, perhaps, than any
other statement in the twenty first an
nual report OF the Interstate Commerce
commission, which was transmitted
today to congress, is that relating to
the attitude of railway officials toward
the new railroad law. In discussion
OF the operation of the act, the commits
sion says:
''By railway managers, almost with
out exception, the amended law has
been accepted in good faith, and they
exhibit, for the most part, sincere
and earnest disposition to conform
their methods to its requirements.
The commission adds that it was not
expected that reforms could be brought
about without difficulty or delay, but il
is unquestionably the fact that great
progress has been made, and that fur

which is actual and general to degree

JAPANESE AND CHILDREN.

II, as somebody writes, the most
striking quality OF the japanese is pre-
cocity," and as another says. Japan is
very paradise for babies" 1t Is sim
gularly touching to see how the preco-
cious child rules its parents. In From
West to East Sir Henry birmingham
gives an amusing instance Of the child's
supremacy.
An officer appointed to the customs
at Dalny, who is on board our steamer
with his wife, his sister-in-law and a
maid, Is the possessor of a child Of the
age OF three; little urchin, with a
solemn countenance, who constitutes
the joy and sole preoccupation Of the
quartette, and exacts from his parents
and attendants. in n truly despodc
manner, the closest and most constant
attention.
l was speaking Of 1t to the chief en-.
gineer, who told me that, a'ring the
war, when the troops were on board
and all was hustle and activity, small
urchin OF two years OF age, brought or
board to say good-by to his warrior
father, got interested In the manoeu
vers about the gangway, and took VI
a position right In the middle.
Anywhere else, said my Informant

him out of harms way, but not here
He was allowed to remain where b,
was, though he terribly hampered tn,
work to be done. The sailors to whom
he was a nuisance. only smiled at th'
infant and admired his pluck.
1t is rather touching and index
beautiful. because 1t sounds and q SC
true. Such love as the japanese ex
hibit for children cannot but be real
1t strikes one everywhere, In all place
and under all circumstances.

The phrase kick up didos"-for the
plural is formed either with or with
out the "e"--is adorable. 1t occurs.
for example, In CUTLER COUGHS ''Delect-

form is ito cut" or ito cut up didos."
The word Is dictionary one. Mr..

quotes, as the earliest use In English
literature, this sentence from Sam

Joseph Wright In his English Dialect

known In Ireland, Kent. Isle OF Wight,
