Physician. Said Appendicitis
Gall Stones Expelled BY the Great
Kidney Preparation.

I thought would lido you "a favor.
and let you know what DR.. sKilmer.s
sSwamp-Roo has done SO farsfor me.
About one year ago / was taken
sick with a terrible pain in my right
side. My family physician pro-
nounced it, appendicitis. About two
weeks ago received your almanac
and read in it about weak Kidneys,
and my back hurting me so much,
thought would try your Swamp
Root and to my great advertisement,
after using one bottle, I expelled
three gall stones, which weighed. 135
grains-just think of it. My kid
neys are not we'll yet, so have con-
cluded to 8continue with Swamp
Root. Mr.. Schwake, the druggist,
thought that it never was appendi-
.citis and that the doctor, had made a
mistake. It was no doubt, gall
stones that caused the trouble, or
they would not have come away so
soon after commencing with Swamp
Root.
l shall always praise DR.. Kilmar's
Swamp-Root to all those who ssuf-
fer from kidney, liver and bladder
troubles and am very thankful that
I ever discovered such "a worthy
remedy. feel confident that twill
cure me entirely Of all kidney and
liver trouble.

Suit for Choice Coal Land

| Denver.-The United States govern

States District Court against the car
bon Coal and Coke Company, a sub
sidiary company of the American
Smelling and Refining Company, bet
ter known as the smelter trust. and
the Exploration Company, Ltd, one ol
the largest British mining corpora
tions in the world. to recover coal
lands in Colorado alleged to have been
fraudulently acquired by means of the
dummy entryman system.
The value of the lands in controyer.
sy is rated at not less than $5,OOO,.
900. They are declared by govern.
ment experts to be among the choicest
coal properties In the state.
The suit is based on a new point of
law to the effect that the statute of
limitations as ordinarily construed
does not actually apply to these cases.
1t is contended that the statute Of
limitations does not commence to run
until the fraud is discovered.
The suit against the Carbon Coal
and Coke Company embraces eight
coal entries made In 1901, consisting
OF l.2sO acres at Cokedale. where the
company's plant is located.
The lands are alleged to have been
taken by dummy entries in 1903 and
1904.
The Investigations were made under
the supervision of the field division OF
the General Land Office for Colorado,
of which NJ. d. McEniry is chief. in

Cured by the failure of the United
States Senate to indorse the plan.
1t is generally conceded that if a
not been summoned and ratification
had been left to the session next fall.
the Canadian advocates OF the plan
might have been disheartened and
example of Congress, leaving ratifi-
cation to its chances at the succeed
ing session.
The action of the President consid-
created here by the failure Of the
Senate to endorse the agreement.
The liberal majority says that Mr..
Taft has made good for his govern
ment, the joint agreement that each
party to the bargain should use its
best endeavors to secure legislative
approval OF the reciprocity compact,
and consequently they assert the
Canadian government must compel
satisfaction by discussion OF parlia-
ment.
However. the fight at Ottawa is by
no means concluded. Both sides say
the government Is more than ever de-
termined to put the measure through.
but the opposion continues to show a
resolute front.
