HOW TO FIND OUT.

Y
Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling usually
indicates an unhealthy condition of the
kidneys. Too frequent desire to uri-
nate, scanty supply, pain or dull ache
in the back, should also convince you
that the kidneys or bladder are out
Of order.
What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed that Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney, liver
and bladder remedy, fulfills almost
every wish in relieving pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every
part Of the urinary passage. II cor
rects inability to hold urine, and scald-
ing pain in passing it, or bad effects
following use of liquor, wine or beer
and overcomes that unpleasant neces-
sity Of being compelled to get up many
times during the night to urinate.
The mild, pleasant and extraordinary
effect of Swamp Root is soon realized

JlNES DEWAR

When James Dewar died in Sal
Lake City on June 18th, Elko coun
ty lost one of her best and most sus
tantial citizens. James Dewar wa.
born in Croftnauld, Perthshire,
Scotland, on the 18th of Novem.
ber. 1851, and came to the United
States when he was a young man
about 2l years old. He lived for
about two years in PENNSYLVANIA
and arrived in Elko in 1874, whe re
he resided until his death, working
his way up until he was one of the
most prosperous citizens of this
county
On September %, 1881, he mar
ried Miss Isabelle McLaren of Ster-
ling. Scotland, and to them were
born six children.
AS a man, Mr.. Dewar ranked
high. He had all the virtues that
tend to make one respected and
looked up to in the community in
which he lives. He was a trustee
of the Presbyterian church and
served a number of years as school
trustee and took an active interest
in all matters that worked for the
moral upbuilding of his home town.
He was prog essive. AS an in
stance, he graded the street on
which he lived at his own expense,
and waited years for the town t.
repay him.
Mr.. Dewar was the pioneer of
the Scotch citizens of this town. 1t
was due to his influence that most
of our prosperous 'Schotchmen came
here to locate.
He was a member of the knights
of Pythias lodge and was buried
yesterday under the aspices of that
lodge.
A wife and five children, Mrs.
Hadcn Henderson, Misses Mary.
Louise and Nevada Dewar and
son Archie, survive him.
The Independent joins with the
entire community in extending its
sincerest sympathy to the bereaved
relatives.

RELIC OF BARRARISM

There es,s trouble galore ~ thp
Piute colony when Wyman, son
of Jessie Hutton, died. He was
stricken with septicemia on his leg
an1 after treatm ent by the Indian
doctor" he died yesterday morning
From time i'm memorial the Indians
have been slperstitiou5 and witcery
has figured when members of the
tribe have died. Jessie Hutton has
chung to that superstition and when
his son was sick he accused Julia
and SophieSampson of being witches
and would hold them responsible
in case the boy died. He also said
that in case the boy died ulia Samp-
son would have to eat the body.
The Indian women became terror
stricken when the boy passed away
yesterday and in the afternoon they
appeared at the sheriff's office and
asked the officer to go to Hutton and
try and dissuade him from his
barbarian intentions. Sophie
pleaded with the off :,rs to go to
the camp and tell HIton gal
can no eat dead boy"
The officers went to the camp and
notified Hutton that if he harmed
the Piute woman he would be
severely dealt with. The boy who
died vas about IL years of age and
was well known around town.
Hutton, the father, is a peaceable
Indian generally. bat it was feared
ne might procure whiskey and when
in a drunken condition would not
hesitate to kill the women

TEST CASE TO Be MADE

Yesterday in the supreme court
attorneys for Smith Hollis McKim
filed plea of abatement in the case
of the divorce of Mrs. -McKim
against her husband Smith Hollis
McKim which has been filed in the
district court of Washoe county and
was to have been settled today.
The supreme court of the state is
appealed to refuse to allow the
lower court to grant the divorce
on the grounds that the residence
of Mrs. McKim in this state is not
legal one but one solely for the
purpose of securing a divorce from
her husband.
The delay granted by the supreme
court, the argument on the plea
having been set for the 9th inst,
has caused CONSERVATION in the
divorce colony and has proved very
ann oying to Mrs. Mckim who was
anxious to get her divorce go that
she could marry Alfred Vanderbilt
who it is said, secured a divorce
from his wife that he might lead
Mrs. McKim to the altar. McKim
apparently has no objection to
seeing his wife remarry, but is
desirous of putting himself righ,
with his friends. always having
claimed he was innocent of the
charges named in the divorce
petition.
1t is believed by many that the
real intent of the move is to test the
residence divorce question in thi.
state and il possible declare ali
divorces secured without personal
summons void and that those who
have secured marital relief in thi,
manner and FASTENED to MARI,
their afIinities are bigamists.
| A great deal of interest will b,
manifested from this time or unit
the question is finally settled b,
the higher court of the state ant
the Reno and local divorce colon,
will anxiously await the decision

This morning when Judge Langan

torneys for defenants announced
that they had decided to let the
decision of the court of yesterday
denying them a jury trial stand as
rendered and that they would not
take the mandamus proceedings

Attorney Peck stated that his client

Several Of the attorneys we're absent

willingness to proceed with the

to have judgment taken against
them by default.
The case was then commenced

chancellor in court of equity, and
the complaint and answers were
read by the attorneys for the con
testing parties. This part of the

ONE KIND OF A FRIEND
EXPOSED BY EDIT0I

When tbs newspaper of tow
does all in its power to help tn
town and prints the news in
impartial and unprejudiced manne
it is very discouraging to the ed
tor to say the least, to have svn
one who poses as prominent citize
constantly knocking the paper and
branding the editor a d-n liar.
The editor of the Mail has no
mining interests in this camp or
any other camp and it has kept his
hands full and his purse strir gs
strained in issuing this paper.
When Bill Jones or somebody else
makes strike and tells us about il
we print the news as he gives il.
1t is nothing to us if he has alO-
foot ledge of pay ore and it does
not concern us if he has no ore at
all. If he strikes it we are glad to
print the news of good fortune.
If he does not strike it we never
say that he does-it is nothing in
oar pocket either way and we mercy
print the article as matter of news.
A man tells us that he has struck
it rich some miles away. We print
his story and believe he is telling
the truth. Another man con es
along and says the fellow is liar,
and that he has never struck
thing and says we should investigate
before we print. 1t would take an
army of men and a fortune to in
vestigate every strike reported o
us. We cannot afford to do it-no
paper can.-M Inhattan Mail.
