Eighteen hundred tons of selected

dark.
The coal was furnished through
the firm of John A. Merritt & Co.,
and came here in cars after, it was
stated, it had been carefully inspect

Scores of blueiackets are kept busy
in coaling a ship in this manner. The
big barges are moored alongside of
the cruiser, and thence are cleared
just as rapidly as possible, there be-
ing very little time lost in transfer
ring the coal from barge to ship once
the steam gear of the cruiser gets in
reach of the coal supply.

KEEPS KIDNEYS
ACTIVE WITH A
CLASS OF SALTS
MUST FLUSH YOUR KIDNEYS
OCCASIONALLY IF YOU EAT
MEAT REGULARLY.
NOTED AUTHORITY TELLS WHAT
CAUSES BACKACHE AND
BLADDER WEAKNESS.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally, says
a well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which clogs the kidney pores
so they sluggishly filter or strain only
part of the waste and poisons from
the blood, then you get sick Nearly
all rheumatism, headaches, liver
trouble, nervousness, constipation,
dizziness, sleeplessness, bladder dis
orders come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or If
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by sensation Of scalding, get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take a
tablespoonful in a glass Of water be-
fore breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to flush clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to activity, also
to neutralize the acids in urine so 1t
no longer causes irritation, thus end
ing bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
net injure; makes a delightful effer-
vescent hthia-water drink which all
regular meat eaters should take now
and then to keep the kidneys clean
and the blood pure, thereby avoiding
serious kidney complications.-Adv.

The wedding was quiet home af-

Washington, d. C.
The happy young couple departed
at 1896 yesterday morning for the
home Of the groom's parents in South

Band of Gypsies
Hustled About

There was a band of Gypsies in this
city two or three days last week and
when it came to be known that their
mission was largely. if not altogether,
for looting and begging, the officers
gave orders for them to move on-and
they did.
They went from here to Somerset,
according to report, and when the Off
Ger in that=hustfing little coal camp
got a glimpse of the wanderers his
opinion was soon formed that they
were there for no other purpose than
to relieve laborers of their goods and
chattels by theft he. too, gave the COM
mand for them to go hence
The band then went to Paonia and
met like fate On to Hotchkiss they
came and another marching order was
given and they pulled into Delta again
on Monday morning. One or two of
the men in the party made inquiry as
to auto fares for Cedaredge but Inde-
pendent did not learn as to their sue
cess in getting to that point 1t is
highly probable, however, that if they
did make Cedaredge that more orders
for retreat would have been forth
coming.
This band of thieves is well known
on the Western Slope, at least in this
particular part, and the authorities
are fully determined to make their
visits so extremely unpleasant that
they will eventually drop this terri
tory from their line of march and op-
erationS.
