Can You Tel the Cause
of Yosr Troubles


Are you sometimes discouraged.
and think you'll never be any better :?
can you tell the cause of your trou-
bic, or what makes you sick?
I Do you know that about nine-tenths
of all sickness is caused by kidney
trouble?
Have you ever stopped to think that
your kidneys may be the cause of
your poor health?
Most people do not realize how
much work the kidneys are required
to do every day.
Every drop of blood in the body
must pass through and be filtered by
the kidneys thousands of times a day.
How can they do their work well if
they are sick?
If your kidneys need treatment, DIR.
Kilmer's Swamp Root, the wonderful
kidney remedy, will prove to be just
the medicine you need.

Walker Was the Real Wonder
in Sports During 1908.
Twice Did Dash Of 100 Yards i'm
Nine and TwO-Fifths.
RECORDS DOUBTED.
Many We're Worrying About His
First Performance.
A Few Days Ago He Repeated
His Great Record.

New York, Jan. THE greatest
feature of the wonderful year of 1908
for records was the work of little Bob
by Walker, of South Africa. who twice
reached the 2-5 mark for the 100 yard
dash.
This young gentleman was sore
shock to the American Olympic team
at London when he carried off the 100
metre event. which they had concluded
was as good as wrapped up and ex-
pressed to Uncle Sam, charges prepaid
So great was the surprise at Walkers
victory in this event that even the
Englishmen who wanted everything
they didn't win to go to some other
country than the United States. were
eceptical about his ability to repeat
But he did.
Immediately after the Olympic meet
was concluded he went to AberSa-
venny in Wales, and, made the hum
bred yards in 8 2-5 seconds.
Over here that record was doubted
for no other reason than the fact that
f1eet-footed and ambitious sprinters
had been many, many years trying to
clip off a fifth of a second of the 40
and the three men who had figured as
3-5 performers were met with more or
less doubt
Dan Kelly. the Boy Blacksmith, of
Spokane woke up the athletic world
three-fifths mark. The performance
was held up, investigated and probed
until finally the A. A. U committee put
IT on the records as official. But Dan
didn't repeat He never came near
that extraordinary mark again.
Jimmy Rector. of jamestown unlVer-
sity, went out later and also did nine
and three-fifths, and people sat up and
said. well. maybe he'll repeat" But
he didn't He failed to equal that mark
either at Philadelphia in the try-outs
or at the Olympic games in London
last July.
II xroS l,aIievad the nine and three
ffths of a second phenomenon was ex-
ploded when Walker, who had cap
tured the hundred metre dash event in
the Stadium, went to set of games In
Abergavenny and did the hundred
yards in nine and twO-ffths.
-Doubters have been worrying ever
since about this performance and
gravely saying that it was fluke run,
dying gasp, etc, but MI walker,
whose name ought to be Flyer, went
out in johannesburg. South Africa,
few days ago and did the hundred once
more in 2-5s.

KILLED IN HIS CHURCH.
Dismembered Body of a Preacher
Found Partly Burned.

Detroit, Jan. THE dismembered
body of Rev. John J, Carmichael, a
Methodist minister. has been found
partly consumed by fire between two
heating stoves in one of his three
churches near Columbus. Identification
of the dead clergyman was made by Or
vile Lindsay, who was sent to the
church for that purpose by Mrs Car
michael, who had been in great distress
since her husband failed to return home,
and who Surmised that the minister was
the victim as soon as she heard that
someone had been murdered in the Col
umbus church. However, clues of the
murderer and his motive were more diff
ficult to obtain. There was a report
that strange man had left a train at
Hickly and had been directed to the
Columbus church, Other reports indi-
Gated that two men were implicated.
The fact that money was found in the
clothing of the dead man and in the
and at the time of his death it was not
known the minister had an enemy.
The Rev. Mr.. Carmichael had been in
Michigan about 10 years, and for two
years had been pastor Of churches at
Columbus, Adafr and China. With his
wife and three children he resided at
Adair. Leaving home he told Mrs.
Carmichael that he was going to Col
vival meetings there. He waved his
hand to a group of children as he drove
out OF the village of Adair and from
that moment all trace of him is lost.
Myron Brown, who lives near the
scene of the tragedy, was the first to
discover the crime. While he was wait
ing at the cross roads. to keep an APP
pointment the cold wind drove him to
seek shelter in the church. He was sur
prised to find the doors unlocked and
upon opening them was terrified to see
the floor, the seats, and even the COM
munion table spattered with blood.
Evidently the clergyman, who was Sc
years of age and of athletic build, had
made,.a struggle for his life.
The authorities on their arrival at the
church found parts of the dismembered
body between two stoves. In one stove
was the head of what was apparently a
new hatchet, the handle had been burn
ed off. A dirk was also found. This it
is believed, was used in the murder
while the Ratchet was used to cut the
body to pieces.
The ministers horse was found tied
to tree in the village of Pine river
His .oyercoat was in the buggy

DRUGGISTS ARE FINED.
Plead Guilty to Having Old Drugs in
Their Stores.

NJ. r. Meade, G. P. Pierce and D. R.
Osborn, three Topeka druggists, were
arrested last night for violations of the
pure food and drug law. Each is
charged with selling certain drugs
which have deteriorated, by reason of
age, from the standard set by the
United States Pharmacopeia, the rec
ognized drug standard of the new drug
laws. The druggists in this case, en-
tered plea of guilty and We're fined $25
each. They are willing to admit the
charge without investigation or 1itiga-
ton.
1T is apparent" said a we'll known
druggist today. ''that.we are up against
it. A majority of the standard drugs
are subject to the influence of age, and
deterioration. The only way we could
Gull our drugs properly. would be to
install complete alchemfc plant, and
spend all our time in alchemy For
separate alchemic tests, with a COM
plete laboratory, to locate the volume
of ingredients in each drug, and prove
deterioration. Therefore, we may in
nocently sell a drug, perfectly called
as coming from the manufacturer or
wholesaler, and at the same time vio-
late all kind. of pure food laws. Until
these laws are so regulated that the re-
tail dealer is partially protected we
shall keep up a disturbance In this
town-even in Topeka-there are q
number of druggists who intend to sell
drugs-old-time pharmacists who I'M
derstand the business and want to run
real drug stores.
Some of the drugs they must keep
in stock will deteriorate within six
months. There are several real booze
druggists in Topeka, but, under this
law, they are no more liable to fine and
imprisonment under Crumbine's dis
turbance than the few who intend to
sell whisky and other drugs as the law

and, it is said, has lost nothing by the
transmission.

MARKET REPORTS
 BY PRIVATE WIRE

Bosom, May 19.-The death of Henry H. Rogers announced before the open ing this morning naturally made the traders somewhat timid and the whole list opened slightly lower. No selling appeared however and courage soon returned The action of the whole market was extremely good and show ed it's very strong position. North Butte and Copper Range were dull without change of prices. Large sales of the metal are being reported and it is confidentially predicted that the surplus copper will be considerably re- duced by the time of the report next month.
