HOW TO FINO OUT. Fill a Dottie or common glass with urine and let it stand twenty fou| hours; a sediment or settling indicates a diseased condition of she kidneys. When urine stains linen it is positive evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of ordei. WHAT TO DO. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys. liver, bladderjand every part of the urinery passages. It m rects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effect following use of liquor wine or beer, and overcomes that unpl sasant necessity of being coms pel ed to get up many times during Jhe night to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need r medicine you should have the best. Sold by druggists price fifty cents and one dollar. For a sample bottle and pamphlet, both sent free by mail, mention Democratic Sentinel and send your full post-office address to Ur. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. The proprietor of this paper t uaranters the genuineness of this offer.

Teacher—What is a pedestrian? Johnnie Bquanch-A feller that gets run over by a bicycle, ma’am. —Judge. From the financial statement of the Monon’s business for the month of May, issued bv General Manager McDoel, we learn that the net earnings exceed those of May, 1896, by 813,768. Maud Kepne»- was quite pleasantly surprised Wednesday evening by a number of tl e young folks calling on her unexpectedly. The evening was spent in social conversation and games A good time was reported. A little fresh-air child saw a herd of cows for the first time, and, after watching them chewing their cuds, in amazement, he said depr?catingly to the farmer: “Oh, mister, do you have to buy gum for all those cows| to chew?”— Chautauqua Assembly Herald.

The Rev. J. L. Hertzfeld, a converted Jewish rabbi, says that there are nowjthree times as many Jews in Palestine, as returned with Ezra and Nehemiah. “'Due Jews,” he says, “will soon erect a temple in Jerusalem, and will es tablish the sacrifices of old. I received a letter from my home a short time ago, in which they tell me of a meeting with an English lady who was studying art and sculpture in Milan. She said that while in Milan she entered one of the largest workshops, and saw there a magnificent pillar. She asked them about it, and they told her that it was for the new temple of Jerusalem. In Rome she also saw another pillar which*was being finished for the temple It may be possible that some of the influ enti 1 Jews are quietly preparing for the erection of this temple The time is when Palestine will be wholly peopled by the Jews. The Sultan is in dire straits (or money, and may sell the country to them at any time. When that comes to pass, I believe that th i ten tribes of Is rael will be gathered there from all parts of the world.--- New York Tribune. A Georgia coroner’s jury bro’t in the following verdict: -The deceased came to his death from a railroad in the hands of a receiver, and the same is manslaughter in the first degree." A Texas paper says that ex*Gov. Hogg is one of the most pooular speakers in Texas His facial expression is remarkable, and when In makes a good point he stops short and surveys his audience with a look so comical that his most bitter opponent is forced to laugh. A queer polyglot religious ser* vice was hel J at t he Seaman’s Bethel at Douglas on the Isle-of-Man. The Gospel was read in Gaelic, a hymn sung in Manx, prayer offered in Welsh, and the sermon delivered in English. On the pre* vious Sunday the Lord's prayer was said m Cornish, a language the last speaker of which died in .the early years of this century.

Elwood is exporting tin to Italy and England, The need, therefore, for a “protective” tariff requires some explanation. — i The Ohio populists placed Coxey in nomination foi Governor. — That party will stick to the middle of the road and keep off the grass. The “prosperity” boomers are pointing to the cancellation of mortgages as evidence of n burning good times. Well, a mortgage is canceled when it is foreclosed, isn’t it? Thare are 1,600 unnaturalized foreigners employed by the Cambria Iron Company at Johnstown, Pa., and on Saturday last, the first pay day since the Alien Tax Law went into effect, S6OO were kept out of the sahries of the men to pay the tax.

The Ameiican and Englishspeaking coal miners have been supplanted by a lot of aliens who can neither read nor speak a word of English, willing to work for any compensation the mine owner may fix. Neither the McKinley nor the Dingley bill contained a provision to protect the American from competition with the foreign laborer. The owner of the product of labor, however, is protected, and the right to employ the miserable specimens of European scum, is defended by Uniteu States marshals, and the military power of the government if necessary. Tn ere is plenty of protection for the capitalist any way you take it.

The expenditures of the gov» ernment co tinue to exceed the receipts, and that by increasing figures. I was an oversight in Dingley that he did not incorporate a pro* hibitory tax on free speech in his b'll. However, the failure has been atoned for by the trustees of Brown University. The owner of the product of labor is unwilling to share with the producers of his wealth the increase of tribute he is enabled to exact from consumers through republican legislation. The Republican press will be guilty of a great oversight if it does not soon proclaim that the advance in the price of wheat is due to the Dingley tariff.-Indi-anapolis News. Oh, well, the senior and junior republican papers of this city have put in that claim. Yesterday a republican desired to know of us what these papers meant—-whether they were d —d fools, or took their readers to be.

‘All that is wanting to insure bloodshed in the coal regions is a few more fool injunctions from fool judges.—lndianapolis News. The Republican never alludes to the conditions existing in the mining regions, but insists that “prosperity” is booming throughout the land. In the last month of the Wilson bill the collections of revenue, ex ceeded by many millions that of any other period, as did also our export trade. In the first month of the Dinglev bill the revenues decreased and the public debt increased.

Big crops throughout the country, and a gi eat foreign demand, should Very materially reward our tillers of the soil. It is to be regretted that they are met at the threshold by increased prices eveiything they have to buy in consequence of the enactment of the Dingley bill, ihe tribute they will be compelled to fork over to the trusts will in the end swallow up their gains.

| |The silver question is thus very plainly stated by Dan McDonald, of the Plymouth Democrat: “Suppose the government sbo’d take a notion to pass a law that no more winter wheat should Leased for bread. Would tnat to advance the price of spring wheat? Of course it w uld. Then after twenty years, after it had gone down in price one half, the gov > ernment should repeal the act pro hibiting the use ot winter wheat. Would that not have a tendency to raise the price of winter wheat and lower the price of spring wheat, and bring the two grades of wheat on a parity? Of courss

it would! And so it would be with the remonetization of silver. Silver would go up and gold would come down, and in a short period of time gold and silver would be on a parity as it was in 1873.”

South Bend T' mes: It is idle to talk about a business boom in this country so long as ihere are thousands or men who have uot yet been able to find employment. It is a mere delusion that can do no possible good. The immense crops of this country, the great output of our mines, and the revival ot our manufacturing industries have wroukht a marked improvement, but to talk about a “boom" is the veriest nonsense. Business im provement is naturally slow and leople who imagine that the effects of a severe panic can •be quickly overcome by simply pass ing a tariff bill simply drow on a vivid imagi'i ation. Trustee Wheeler, of South Bend was greatly surprised when the Irw firm of Talbot <fc Talbot presented for payment from the township fund a bill for 828 far chick* ens killed by dogs. The case is new, but is found to be in accord* anee with an act passed by the last egislature, putting chickens in the same category with sheep when the victims of cna irfl ottocks. Many more such cases will follow.

fjh’nce the war Indiana has spent I >180,000,000 lor public education, and is spending now $6,000,000 annually. It possesses school property to the amount of s2o,* 000,000 and its productive school fund amounts to more than $lO,000,000. There isn’t a state in the union that equals it, according to population, and but few as progressive in this important work. “Yes,” she said confidentially to her dearest friend, “its all settled. We’ve practically made all our arrangements.” I suppose you will go to housekeeping at once," sug. gested the dearest fiiend. “Of course ” “Have you picked out a flat yet?” “Oh, dear, no; we have attended to the more important matters first,” she explained. “We went down town yesterday and picked out our tandem wheel.”— Chicago Post.

Attorney Frank Davis, of JJo l > rocco, has entered into partnership in the practice of law with Capt. R. W. Marshall, and will become a resident of this city at an early day. Sid Schanlaub, in his Courier, gives vent to his pent up disgust in the following wail: “The question as to how far a Serson can see with the nakec eye epends largely upon the direction he is looking. For instance, the steeple on the new court house at Rensselaer can be seen from a short distance east of Morocco, but, I gad, sir, you may stand at Rensielaei and look until things swim b.fore your vision and you can’t see any court house steeple at Morocco.— As we said, it depends a heap on the direction in which you look.” Marie, the four-vear-old daugh ter of A. K Bills, of MonticeT.o, was run over by a heavily loaded wagon, Tuesday, receiving injuries which resulted in death a few hours later,

On the last Sunday excursion <o Chicago, a scrap occurred between Dave Platt and Frank Burley, of this city, and Charlie Deel, of Car. roll county. From waat we can learn Platt and Burley were mak.. ing themselves obnoxiovs to the ladies and Deel resented their conduct, when Burley tackled him with a knife Platt and Burley will have an examination by the Chicago authorities next Monday. tn Lexington, Kya negro p irl was arrested for carrying a razor in her hair. “N hat were you doling with that razor?” asked-* be I recorder. “I warn't doin’ nuthin’ , wid it when dey kotched me,’ she 'said; “I wuz jest a-lookin’ fer a ■ lady dat I didn’t like!

An old railroad man who drifted! into a cburch where a levival was’ going on was asked to lead in pray-.! er, and here is the way he did it: I “O Lord, now that I have' flagJ ged Thee, lift up my feet from the] rough road and plant them safely! on the platform of salvation. Let me use the safety lamp known as prudence, make all the couplings in the train with the strong links of love, and let my handlamp be the Bible. And, Heavenly Father, keep all the switches closed that lead off on the sidings,. speci. lly those with a blind end. O Lord, if it be Thy pleasure, have bvery semaphore block along the line show the white light of hope th..t 1 may make the run of my life without stopping. And, Lord,

During the Revolution an English magazine published an estimate of the North American colonies. Placing the population th en at ‘2,000,000 and assuming that it would double itrelf every 25 years, the writer estimated that in the year 1890 the number would have increased to 64,000,000. This may be taken as a most remarkable prophecy, inasmuch as the census of 1890 fixes the total population nt 62,622,250.
