SUDDEN DEATH
Caused by Disease of the Kidneys

The close connection which exists
between the heart and the kidneys is
we'll known nowadays. AS soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension
Is increased and the heart functions
are attacked. When the kidneys no
longer pour forth waste, uremic poi
soning occurs, and the person dies and
the cause is often given as heart dis
ease, or disease of brain or lungs.
It is a good insurance against such q
risk to send 10 cents for a large trial
package Of "Anuric"-the latest dis
covery Of DR.. Pierce. Also send a
sample Of your water. This will be

from backache, frequent or scanty
urine, rheumatic pains here or there,

BANKS THEIR VICTIMS
NEAT SWINDLE PRAcTIcED BY
PAIR OF RoGUEs.
Man With Certified Check, and Fat
Detective" Make a Handsome
Sum Easily and Run Small
Risk Of Detection.

A tall well-dressed young man
strobe vigorously into laree bank.
He walked to one of the glass-covered
desks, took from his pocket a piece of
paper, scrubbed something upon it
and went to the paying teller's win
dow.
Il would be obliged If you will give
me that in new 1lfties," said the young
man with a certain air of positive,
ness.
1t was a certified check for $3.50.
The paying teller examined it, rec.
ognized the signature of the bank and
counted out II new $50 bills and
slipped a little rubber band around
them
Just as the tall man started from
the window with his money in his
overcoat pocket a shorter, older and
fatter man edged up alongside of him
IF you move step or say word
I'll shoot you for the crook you are,
said the stout one.
At the same time he showed a pts.
toll against the side OF the younger
man and handed card through the
window to the paying teller. "Pinker
ton" was there in big type and below
a mans name as special detective.
This fellow" said the man with the
man with the gun, "is counterfeiter
wanted in Cincinnati. Now hand back
that money" he said to the captured
criminal. The little sheaf of new
fifties was returned.
IF you will let me take that check
I'll do the rest" added the detective
and the obliging teller returned it.
There had been no noise, no excite
ment and no observers to this odd
transaction. When the pair left the
bank they didn't go to a police sta
ton, but to another bank not 200 feet
away.
There they went through exactly the
same performance-got II nice new
$50 bills, handed the little bundle back
and also got their alleged bogus
check
And from this second bank they
went to six others in the space of less
than an hour. Later in the day wher
counting up their cash eight bank
tellers made a remarkable discovery
Each one was shy, as the poker
players say, exactly $3.50
What happened was this: While
the stout confederate posing as a de
tective went through his role, the 9th
er slipped three of the $50 bills from
the rubber-bound sheaf and returned
not II, but only ID.
Unless you stop to count them, J.
new bills feel and look as much likt
II as one guinea pig looks like an
other. 1t was done so quickly tn,
tellers didn't seem to think it neces
sary to count the returned cash.
AS for the check for $3.50, it wal
really genuine and the swindlers go
back that money before leaving tow
with their $1,000 in those nice new
fifties.-Philadelphia Ledger.

MEXICAN BANDITS
 KILL Us. TROOPERS
ONE AMERICAN CAVALRYMAN SEE RIOuSlY WOUNDED IN CLASH
 BANDITS LEFT FOUR DEAD.
ROBBERS WERE DRIVEN OFF
Fight Occurred in Early Morning and Small Body of U. S. Troops Called to Carranzistas Across the
 River to Aid Them

San Antonio. Carranzista and
 United States troops fought side by side in the engagement with Mexican
 bandits south of Fort Hancock, Texas, according to the official report from Brig.-Gen. George Bell, Jr., at Fl Paso, to Maj. Gen. Funston.
 After the bandits had been sur rounded in a ranch house on the Amer ican side of the Rio Grande River and an American customs guard had been killed, another customs guard named Bean ran down to the river bank and called to detachment of Carranzistas on the Mexican side to come over and assist the American troops.
 A captain and eight soldiers re- sponded. They joined in the fighting, which became general. Soon, the re- port says, the bandits fled from the ranch house and retreated over the river, leaving behind four dead
 The American dead numbered two, Private John Tweney, F Troop, Eighth United States Cavalry, and Robert Woods, customs guard. Sergt. Lewis Thompson, F, Troop, Eighth United States Cavalry, was seriously wound ed. He was made the target of three bullets.
 The report of Gen. Funston does not make clear the manner in which the fight, which took place about 1 30 a. m., began, nor does it indicate the ob- ;Ao of I, American side.
 Gen. Funston said it was possible, however, that the bandits, when sur prised by the Americans, were at tempting to escape from the Carran- zistas, who later engaged in the battle.
 The latter had been in pursuit of the marauders for several days.
 The American force consisted of eight men under command of Sergt. Thompson, two hospital corps men and the two customs guards. They speedily surrounded the Mexicans in the ranch house. Woods was the first to fall, laid low by bandit who had slipped outside to aim at him.
 His death was avenged a moment | later by one of the hospital corps men, who shot down the bandit just as le was fleeing back into the house. y.JS ItSwas at t1js point point. that Bean sum. sI Ted the Carranzistas. Brisk firing followed for a time. Then quiet reigned in the ranch house. A cau- tious investigation disclosed three more dead bandits inside it's walls The remainder had succeeded in get ting out and making their way over the Rio Grande. The Carranzistas fol- lowed in pursuit. Gen. Funston said that no American troops would join the chase. The number of bandits who escaped is not known here.
