chine guns, 16O,0o0 pieces of muni- tions for artillery and 7,098,000 car-l tFidges. We took 1,361 cannon in the captured stronghold of Kovno. That l means 5000, cannon in two fortresses.
 The following report will interest | you further in relation to Russian | losses. The leading Swiss newspaper National Gazette of Basel printed in an editorial on September The of ficiaI list of casualties of Russian of fieers during the whole war up to August 15, show the names of killed l officers; 43,142, of wounded officers 161,443, and of missing, 1Ss605, grand total loss of 223,142 officers We believe that 30,0oO of these of ficers were wounded more than once Their names appear therefore twice in the lists 1897 names in the lists
 are officers of higher grades. If we
 use the generally accepted propor- ton of 1.30 in figuring the losses of men to the losses of officers, and if we deduct the 3O,000 names, which
 appear twice in the lists, we get a
 grand total loss of 190,00 officers and
 five and one half millions of men,"
 The general health of the German
 soldiers is excellent. Each man is in noetfIated against smallpox, 'Asiaatic cholera and typhoid fever. 300 trans-l portable sterilizers furnish drinking
 water at the western front. Each ma chine produces 300 quarts of water l. ernment has established military tea rooms in every village along the line of march where the tired soldier can get free tea .<t liberty. Two hundred bathing wagons and four hundred transportable steam 1aundries care l for the cleanliness of the troops in
 Russia. To rid the returning soldiers and the ,new prisoners of vernlin eight stations of desinfection have
 been constructed along the Russian
 frontier, and two in southern Ger ] many. near sTyrol. Each station has
 three physicians, inspectors and l 38O employees. 500 men can get rid of veruin here at the same time, 12- 1 co in 24 hours. Among the eighttbuild- ings of each station you will find a laundry, bath houses for showerbaths land tubbaths, sterilizers of enormous dimensions and a power house that
 consumes two hundred tons of coal I daily The popular nickname of such
 a station is. ;LausoIeum. 7 $
 The largest prison camp in the l world can be seen at Braunau in Bo- hemia, where the Austrian govern

JOHN KING REJoICEs.
A(Hartford Times.)

Mayor Wilson's reelection to the mayoralty of Bridgeport improves his chances for the Republican nOrni- nation for governor next year. He is now lieutenant governor and frank iy desIrous of being promoted to the higher position. His success in Bridge pert was due to a combination Of Democratic and Republican votes, and his large plurality should not be taken as an indication of the strength of the Republican party in that city.
 The comparatively small vote for the Democratic candidate showed that the Democratic leaders who brought about the nomination of MT. Walker succeeded in placing at the head of their party ticket a man whose noni- nation was a source of strength to the Republican ticket. It is likely that no one more heartily .rejoiced over the election of Mayor Wilson than the friends of the mayors nominal Demo- cratic opponent. The Independent candidate, Henry Lee, ran second to the successful candidate, and his large Ivote was an emphatic expression of

A truthful statement of a Bemidji

BIG EATERS GET
KIDNEY TROUBLE:
Take glass Of Salts before breakfast
if your Back hurts or Bladder
bothers you. r.. D..

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trouble,
because we eat too much and all our food
is rich. Our blood is filled with uric
acid which the kidneys strive to filter
out, they weaken from overwork, become
sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and
the result is kidney trouble, bladder
weakness and general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps of
lead; your back hurts or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night; if you suffer with sick
headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid
stomach, or you have rheumatism when
the weather is bad, get from your phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before 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 and stimulate clogged kidneys;
to neutralize the acids in the urine so it
no longer is a source of irritation, thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is Inexpensive; cannot in
jure, makes delightful efervescent
Whitewater beverage, and belongs in
every home, because nobody can make
a mistake by having good kidney flush
ing any time.
