tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of the bladder, brick-dlust or sediment in the urine, head ache. back ache, lame back, dizziness. sleeplcssness, nervous ness, or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell.
 Bladder troubles almost always result from derangement of the kidneys and better health in that organ IS obtained quickest by proper treatment of the kid neys. Swamp-Root corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, and oveTcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often through the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and immediate effect of Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is soon realized. It stands the highest be- cause of its remarkable health restoring properties. 4 trial will convince anyone.
 Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and IS sold by all druggists in ffty-cent and one-dollaf xsze bottles. You may have a sample bottle and a book that tells all about #, both sent free by mail. Address, Dr. Kilmer & Go, Binghamton, N. Y- When writing mention reading this gen. erous offer in this paper Don't make any mistake, but remember the name, Swamp-Ro and don't let dealer sell you something in place of Swamp Root If you do you will be disappointed

CLOWNS IN STAR ACT
 FIGHTING THE FLAMES

The great sells-Floto shows Con solidated present along with their comedy department this year mum erous prominent testers, commonly called clowns: James Rutherford. Shorty Maynard, Frank Stout. and Horace Webb are the principal jes- ters and associated with them are 4 kings of the ciowning world. Along with these funny chaps, others also assist with comical antics
 When intermingling with citizens on the street none Of them would be suspected of wearing tho loose robes Of a fool. but when they are in the ring their make ups on. they laugh and thes crowd laughs with them A jolly lot. and they have certainly helped to unload at least temporarily the cares from the minds of thousands of people.
 Just see :he clowns in their fam ous act of fighting the flames and you will realize that ciowning is ar di L or l5eus tue btSl tlOhuo diC born. not made. The fun department of the Great SelIs-Floto Show is fully up to the high standard of it's other departments, in fact many a person will testify to the state ment that the clowns with this show are worth the price Of admission. Their work is appreciated. as the present strenuous life Of most peo- pie causes them to relish a little nonsense now and then.
 Everything in all departments Of the Sells-Floto circus this year is positively new, refreshing and up to date. This big show will, exhibf: in Bisbee, Wednesday April ,.
 The general price of admission is 25 cents No more. no less. Ticket wagons are open on the grounds at 9 o'clock each day and the parade takes place at ten o'clock. You need only see this magnificent spectacle 10 be fully persuaded

ATTORNEY GENERAL
 WINS OVER GOVERNOR
lightfoot of Texas Is Upheld in Dispute by Supreme
 Court

SAN ANTONIO. Texas. March 2S. Special. Some weeks ago the people of Texas were very much In terested in a rather sharp cores pondenee having the color of a dis pute between Attorney General sewel P. Lightfoot and Governor Colquitt Mir. Lightfoot took the position that money appropriated for his depart ment for the purpose of prosecuting certain kinds of cases Nid not re- quire she signature Of the governor to warrants drawn for this purpose. This custom had been followed dur ing the term of Thomas M Camp bell as governor. Governor Colquitt took a different view of the matter and even before he had been iuaug- Eated wrote Lightloot stating his opinion and that he would oppose expenditures of the fund except upon his o K CT warrant drawn
 This letter to the attorney general brought on a correspondence which was to a certain extent vitriolic IT wass thought at the time by many that Lightfoot had the best of the argument Recently the contention found it's way by regular legal pro cesses to the supreme court Of Texas. The ruling just handed down by that body sastains the Lightfoot eonten tion in every particular and is rec ognized as a victory for the attorney generals department.
 It is understood that Governor ColQuit: says if the Jaw permits one governor 10 make a contract which binds his successors that he is perfectly willing to accede to the provision. It is generally under stood that this ruling By the court has put a stop 0 a contention that promised more or less friction be tween the governor and the ettorney generals office.
