Woman Dies for Her Claim.
From the Portland Orcsuuian.

James Blackwell. a farmer, brings to
Seattle the story Of an aged woman's
fight with the elements in tho Cascade
Mountains and her subsequent death.
The woman was Miss H. E. Conradson.
spinster. aged ffty-five years. Miss
Conradson had mining claims In the
mountain. Drawing the snow and icy
blasts she determined to remain on her
claim this winter rather than run the
chance Of iosing 1t.
About ten days ago she contracted a
severe cold. In desperation she started
toward civilization and medical aid. Her
strength. however, was not equal to the
task. Racked with cold and fever and
further weakened by the lack Of proper
food she staggered into the Balkwell
home ON Thursday night barely able to
tell her story. She died before medical
aid could reach hsr.

~ueir health depends upon the condition
Of the kidneys.
The physician In nearly all cases OF
serious illness, makes chemical
ANALYSIS Of the patients urine. He
knows that unless the kidneys are do
ing their work properly. the other or
gans can not be brought back to health
and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way. serious results are
sure to follow. According to health
statistics. Bright's disease which Is
really an advanced form of kidney
trouble, caused nearly ten thousand
deaths in 1910, in the state of New
York alone. Therefore, 1t behooves us
to pay more attention to the health OF
these most important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as kidney
remedy is DR.. Kimer's Swamp Root,
the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder
Remedy.
The mild and healing influence OF
this preparation is soon realized. ii
stands the highest for its remarkable
record Of cures.

quire attention. and wish a sample bot

refused to work The fuses burned out
at every attempt made to turn It on.
and this venture had to be abandoned
for the evening.
