The Secret OF Success
Genuine Merit Required to Win
the People Confidence.

Have you ever stopped TO reason why
it is thatso many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop
out of sight and arc soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promise of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as
like an endless chain system the remedy
is recommended by those who have
been benefited, to those who are in need
of it.
A prominent druggist says: Take
for example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, preparation l have sold for
MANY wears and never hesitate to rec
ommend, for in almost every case It
shows excellent results, as many OF
nv customers testify. No other kid
ney remedy that know of has so large
a sale.
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who
have used the preparation, the success
of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to
the fact that fulfills almost every wish
in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder
diseases, corrects urinary troubles and
neutralizes the uric acid which causes
rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y,
and enclose ten cents. Also mention

w. w. Warner, Old Miner
and Prospector Visits
in Colorado.

Recently w. w. Warner of Madison,
formerly resident of Baraboo, visited
in Central City, Gilpin county, Colo
RADIO, and the following is an interview
with Mr. Warner secured by the Reg
ister-call of Central City.
Mr.. Warner arrived in the Gregory
Diggins" in 1861, lad of twelve years
of age and there was nothing in the
shape of honest and honorable labor
that he would not do whereby he could
earn his share of the yellow metal
which was washed out of the gulches at
that time. He was willing and anxious
to learn the mining business and in 1862
he was filling mans position in fork
ing out a string of sluice boxes at the
junction of Spring and Nevada gulches
in this city, for gulch miner named
Sanderson, who left his fine and pro-
ductive gulch claim to join the Ban
mock City, Idaho, mining stampede.
We next hear Of him as whim boy on
one Of the Burroughs mines, on Quartz
hill, when he was barely tall enough to
put the harness over the back of the
mule which he w as driving, and later
as milk peddler carrying five gallon
can of milk over two miles to the Pat
Casey boarding house in Chase Gulch.
At the age of 10 he followed the bust
ness of prospecting and located the
WILDER mine on Gunnel hill, west of
the Couer de Alene, half interest in
which he sold to Nathan Updegraff, an
old friend of his for $25. A year later
this mine was sold to Deacon K. Bax-
ter for 500, 900. He also located the
Amazon, Carryell, Warner, Columbia,
Home Abstract, Mountain Eagle and
o shers on Quartz hill, and in variou
portions Of the gold belt in and near
this city. His fame as prospector soon
became known, and in 1870 he was grub
staked by Walter B. Jenness, Frank
Spillers, Abe Chapline, Ben Hensley
and Joe Westover, all Of Black Hawk,
and sent over to the Caribou section,
which at that time was the scene of
much activity, on account of the rich
discoveries of silver ore being found on
Caribou mountain. He located the
famous ''Idaho" mine, and took out
silver ore from the grass roots worth
SLOT, which was sent to the Hill
smelter at Black Hawk. He was very
successful in his various undertakings,
and soon left for the east with enough
of the yellow metal to make start in
business, locating at Madison, Wiscon-
sin, where he engaged in business which
he followed for 80 years. Having made
a fortune, he has retired, and he and
his wife are now enjoying the fruits of
his successful career in travelling over
the country. Arriving in Denver on
their journey, he could not resist the
temptation to visit his old stamping
grounds, and live over the days of the
early pioneers, and he and his wife
have been putting in couple of days
driving over the mountains, and visit
ing points of interest in and around
Central City over which he worked and
travelled some 81 years ago.

PUZZLED, CORONER POSTPONES
 MURDER INQUIRY
Especial to The Farmer. }

Newtown, Sept. 4.-Coroner John J. Phelan notified the town zauthoritiefs yesterday forenoon that the inquest into the cause of death of William Gore, the shoemaker, had been indef- nitely postponed. The state police were not in evidence here since We'd nesday and the opinion grows that the clues so far traced do not help in any way of the three theories of the motives of the murderer, held by them Robbery, the work of some Black Hand, or the cupidity of some rurn-soaixed degenerate seeking the wiherewithaI to continue his debauches have been industriously looked into by the sleuths but so far without results. The time lost between discovery of the deed and the beginning of active work of tracing the culprdt was unfor- tunate for the ends of justice Added to this is the uncertainty as to the ac- tuaI time when the deed was commit ted, owing to conflicting evidence. The temper of lasw-abiding citizens is in favor Of a relentless pursuit of the as- sassin and they feel grieved that re- suits so far are nil. Many, today, sug- gest the enlistment Of the powers of the states attorneys office in the work of running down the murderer, a sug- gestion, it is hoped, that may be put into operation The elimination Of two of the theories-the work of a Black Hand and the robbery theory, would narrow the scope of investigation and this many people believe should be done if we are not to have this New town murder added to the list of n1ur- der mysteries in Fairfield county.
