Over-Work Weakens Your Kidneys. Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
All the blood in your body passes through your kidneys once every three minutes.
I he kidneys are your blood purifiers, they filter out the waste or impurities in the blood. If they are sick or out of order, they fail to do their work. Pains, aches and rheumatism come from excess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidneypoisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their beginning in kidney trouble. If you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases
and is sold on its merits
by all druggists in fiftycent and one-dollar siz
es. You may have a
sample bottle by mail Rome of Swamp-Root.
free, also pamphlet telling you how to find out if you have kidney or bladder trouble. Mention this paper when writing Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y.

Mr. Roberts will doubtless be kept out of congress just to please the ladies.
Charles S. Ilernly will undoubtedly be re-elected chairman of the republican state committee. He has no avowed opposition. The supreme court of the United States has also recognized the fact that trusts really exist and are dangerous to the nation.
The Colorado Democrat rises to remark that the worst enemies of the Hanna administration will not claim that it ever betrayed a trust.
Maybe Roberts will pass a resolution of thanks to congress, should that body decide to send him back to Utah. Think of the drain on his resources if he should be compelled to keep thiee establishments going in the national capital.
Governor Bradley, of Kentucky ; Cornelius N. Bliss, of New York ; Gov. James A. Mount, of Indiana, and Lieutenant Governor Woodruff, of New York, are mentioned in influential republican quarters as suitable and available timber for the vice-presidency.
It is stated that the share of the profits acc uing to William Jennings Bryan for the sale of his books amounts to $6o,ooo, and this will be invested in fcur per cent government bonds, in the name of his wife, who will receive from them an income of more than $2,000 annually.
So long as the county fairs of this state hold out, Indianians will object to going to the Paris show and knuckling down to tyrannical landlords who have formed a five-dollar-a-day-without-board trust. After this proposed extortion, many vvi'l doubtless remember Dreyfus and the shameful manner in which Queen Victoria has recently been treated. A good many of our leading educators have reached the conclusion that, inasmuch as frequent bathing is necessary for the maintenance of good health, and that unhealthy pupils cannot do the best work in school, it would be well for public school buildings to be furnished with bathing facilities, so that pupils who have no opportunity to bathe at home can have this privilege at school. In harmony with this idea the board of education in this city has decided to equip with bathing facilities the new Laurel school. While this is a new departure, it is believed to be a step in the right direction, and it is with this idea that the action was determined upon by the South Bend board of education. South Bend Times.
Michigan seems to be bound to have trouble over her beet sugar bounty law. The passage of this law was accompanied by an appro
priation of $ 1 0,000 to pay the bounties. The first factory erected, at Bay City, rolled in a claim for 60,000 bounty in a few weeks. Then an appropriation of 2 00,000 was made by the legislature, but the governor vetoed the bill, and the bounties continue to pile up, with no appropriation to pay them. There are now nine beet factories in the slate and others in contemplation. What will be the outcome of the bounty matter nobody knows. Possibly the experience of our sister state will demonstrate the inadvisability of offering bounties for the support of industries that are not profitable without it.
TAYLOK i KTS KI.KCTION CK KT I FlC'ATK. The Kentucky canvassing board has decided by a vote of two against one that it has not the power to go behind the returns, and accordingly orders election certificates issued to Taylor and the rest of the republican ticket. The board intimates that if it had the authority, it would throw out the votes of the counties which are contested. It criticizes Goveror Bradley for calling out the state troops on election day. The democrats decided to contest the election. The gubernatoral contest will come before the legislature. The contests of the other state ollicers comes before the contesting board. Taylor will be inaugurated however. Whether the legislature will oust him remains to be seen.

Mi-riM" Snow, of Kulaiiia.oo, Say the Notorious Crook Stopped Near South Henri. Charles Russell, one of the accused robbers of the Richland, Mich., bank, and who is now accused of complicity in the Vanderlip diamond robbery in Elkhart, is in jail at (Joehen. He was 6urrended to Sheriff Elliott, of that county on Wednesday after a hot legal light with the authorities of Kalamazoo county, Michigan. Russell feels very sore that he had to go to Indiana to answer to the charge of the Vanderlip robbery, though he has made up his mind that he must face it and displayed little of the soreness when he left Kalamazoo on Thursday morning. The papers of Kalamazoo imply that a South Jiend firm of lawyers will be connected with the diamond robbery in a damaging way. On Thursday Sheriff Snow, of Kalamazoo, informed Sheritl Elliott, of Goshen, that Albert Peyerett alias -Tom Ulack" alias "Canada Whitey," another of the Slater-Allison-Uus&ell gang, was in Hourbon, Marshall county, one day last week, and that the local constable was afraid to attempt his arrest on account of the desperate char acter of the celebrated bank robber, notwithstanding the fact that a reward of 8200 awaits his being safely landed in any jail in the Uuited States, and held until the Michigan sheriff can get to him. He is said to be the toughest one of the gacg and Le carries his hand on his revolver all the time. "Whitey" has long been a much wanted min.
Obituary. It has been but a few days since the appalling news reached us that Matthew ErwiD, one of IJourbon'a most prominent citizens, and a man whom all MarShall county has for years looked upon with the deepest respect, had attempted to take his own life. For the past four or five weeks Mr. Erwin who was aillicted with paralysis and almost unable to help himself, has been an inmate of the sanitarium at Connersville. For some time previous to last Tuesday morning he had been very despondent and homesick, longing to get back home and sen his daughter, and at times his actions appeared queer to those about him yet but little was thought of it, On that morning his wife assisted him as usual in making his toilet and preparing for breakfast, but when she attempted to put on his collar he said that he aid not want it on. In answer to the question why he would assign no reason. This was indeed strange for he was a man who always insisted on being properly dressed at the table. lie next refused to go to breakfast table and when his wife urged him to go he lost his patience and aeked her to leave the room. As she left she noticed him pick up an apple and consequently turned to advise him not to eat it before breakfast, but he was bent upon having his own way and asked for a knife, refusing her offer to pare it. Having given him the knife she proceeded to the dining room and ate her breakfast. The doctor finished his meal earlier t! an usual and said he would go and see Mr. Erwin, but it was too late. When he reached the room he found him leaning to one side in his chair and the blood dripping from the artery in his neck into a basin which he had placed en the lloor beeiJe him. The doctor immediately tied the artery and took a few stitches to close the wound in the neck, which soon relieved the pressure on the brain. When he had pjitially regained the use ot his mind he muttered his last words, "Oh, why did I do it, why did 1 do it! Hut I was so homesick." Hie daughters and brothers were immediately telegraphed for and Miss Daisy and one of his brothers left in a few moments time for his bedside. He lived on till 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon when he died, but his family was so prostrated that he was not brought home until Friday. The funeral was held at the home Saturday at 2:30 o'clock p. m. under the
auspices of the Odd Fellows and inter-1 ment was made in the Odd 1-Vllows ' cenie'ery south of Itourbon. ! Matthew Erwin has lor many ytars 1 eel) a resident of Rourbon. Ilr Watbrn about ISM in Starke county, Ohl, üben he grew to nianhnod and was maiiied. It was about the earl855i
that be moved to Ikurbon and beiran Mit- inanufd'-tme of wagons. He lolbiwed this but a short time, when Informed a partnership with a Mr. Moure and entered llu- hardware business. For years the linn proepeied until Mr. Moi.rw died, alter which the successful eiit-rprise wai conducted by Mr. Erwm
alone. Having remained at this lor a
few years as sole proprietor, he sold the business and took upon himself the
duties of township trustee. During
many terms of service he attended
faithfully to the interests of the town
ship and brought credit upon himself
and his supporters.
After retiring from this office, he reemharked m the hardware business to remain but for a season. Since then
he tiad devoted his time and attention
almost exclusively to stock, beiDg a
buyer and seller as well as a stock
raiser. However, he has been at differ
ent times conuected with other business
enterprises.
He was for about a year owner of the
Rarnaby saw-mill. A few years ago he traded his 200 acre farm for a vast tract
of Und in Kansas and a large number
of sheep. He went there and lived by
himself for about a year but it was a
poor bargain and he returned bringing with him about 1,500 sheep It was in this deal that he lost much of the small
fortune he had acquired. At another time he engaged in the elevator busi
ness to leave this soon after becoming acquainted with it. He once owned also the Sharley mill, and which while
still in his possession burned down.
From loss of this which amounted to seven or eight thousand dollars he never
fully recovered. He has ever been a stauoch republi
can, always attending county and state conventions and engaging actively in politics. The republicans of Rourbon town and township have several times
placed him iu public ollices. Resides being township truetee he was made
postmaster by President McKinley
abcut two years ago. Having filled this for about a year he was compelled to resign for the atlliction which brought
him his death was already upon him, and his daughter Daiey was appointed to succeed him Mr. Erwin has been a widely-known
man. His occupation of stock raising and his taking part in politics brought
him into contact with the represent tive men all over Northern Indiana. He was an Odd Fellow and an earn
est worker in the Masonic order, though he was more favorably inclined toward
the former order.
His life has been one of business, full of all the ventures which au active
business man delights to make. He
was one whose mind was made up quicklv and the thought as quickly put into action. It was undoubtedly this attribute of bis nature which prevailed during that period of derangement and
brought his reason under subjection to
the desire of the moment. N evert he
less, he will be remembered as a strictly
moral and upright man. He leaves a wife and several chil
dren, besides two sisters and three
brothers Mrs. Deemer, of Iowa; Mrs. J. D. Thayer, of Warsaw, and Robert,
William and Lewis ErwiD.
CALDWELL IS INDICTED.
Charged With Accepting Money to Ileturn for School Appointments. The grand jury at Winamac returned two indictments Friday against Chas. R. Caldwell, trustee of Franklin township, for accepting bribes from Lizzie i'hihpson and Lottie Lauthan of $75 each to 6ecure their employment by him as school teachers. One of the jurors advised him of the action taken by them in time to permit him to resign
his position and when Sheriff Dellinger
went to his house to make the arrest he found that Caldwell had gone to another state.
Shot Himself Fatally. Charles Fink, formerly a resident of Bremen, but for the past fifteen years a resident of North Liberty, where he conducted a saloon, until the last two or three years, during which he has been proprietor of a confectionary store, Wednesday afternoon went to Walkerton and there fatally shot himself last Thursday. Domestic trouble is the case asBSgned. His family is mögt highly respected, a grown daughter teaching in the Rremen schools.
A Walmsh, Intl., Hoy M Using. The police have received a request from Charles Lines, marshal of Wabash, Ind., to look out for Elmer Heit, a 12 year old boy who has been missing since Nov. 27. When last seen he wore a brown coat with holes in the elbows. A pair of light brown knickerbockers and a corduroy cap. He has black eyes, brown hair, a sallow complexion and is about four feet tall.

When we are out of a bargain of any kind and cannot obtain the same again at that bargain price we drop it out entirely rather than show an advance this year.
