MAID FALLS; SUES MISTRESS
Denver Girl Says She Hurried to Es.

Damages.

Denver. Colo.-Fearing her employ
er, Mrs. Charles ]. Dunn, who, she
says, was an "impetuous, domineering
and nervous" woman, who was always
urging her to hurry, Ida Romo, maid
in the Dunn home, at 1927 Grant street,
attempted to hasten to the basement
of the house in response to a summons.
The stairway was dark, and, according
to Miss Romo, Mrs. Dunn again urged
her to "hurry" as she neared the bot
tom.
In trying to comply she slipped and
fell, dislocating her right shoulder.
Through Paul de Laney, Miss Romo
has filed suit for $500 damages. She
asserts that Mrs. Dunn "nagged" and
otherwise inspired her with fear, and
that the accident, occasioned by her
speed, was caused by the defendant.

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp Root, DR.. Kilmer's Prescrip-
ton, Overcomes Kidney Trouble

It is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to a re.
markable degree and do tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
6ltering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid.

more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as a kidney and
bladder remedy is DIR. Kilmer's Swamp.

Six Railroad Measures Considered by
the House.
Denver.-The long-expected fight
over the so-called railroad bills de-
veloped in the House, when a deter
mined effort placed the bills on the
calendar for consideration. These
measures, Of which there are six,
were introduced at the request of the
organized railroad employees of the
state. The issue developed as re-
suit of the submission of majority
and minority reports of committees
on the measures. These bills pro-
vided for full crews on freight trains,
semi-monthly pay days for railroad
employees, prohibition of tests on
signaling without notice, prohibition
of switching of locomotives backward,
and requiring the employment of ex-
perienced men in certain branches of
the service.
sThe Senate passed the bill by Sena-
tors Fincher and Candlish providing
for an investigation of the smelling
industry on third reading by a vote
of 81 to 3.
A warm fight is expected in the
Senate on Senator Napier's civil serv-
Ice bill which has been placed at the
head of the calendar under adverse
reports. 1t came out of the commit
tee with majority and minority re-
ports.

Senate bill to renew the lease Of the
penitentiary convict farm at Avondale
was followed by favorable report Of
the Colgate bill by the House appro-
priations committee. The Colgate bill
provides for the purchase OF 1880
acres of privately-owned tracts in
Garden Tract cahon, ten miles from
Cafion City. for the establishment Of

ton. 1t provides that the state
