The Eminent Kidney and Bladder Specialist.

T&e Discoverer of Swamp-Root at Work In Els Laboratory. There is a disease prevailing in this country most dangerous because so deceptive. Many sudden deaths are caused by it heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure or apoplexy are cften the result of kidney disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to advance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell. Then the richness of the blood the albumen leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's Disease, the worst form of kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root the new discovery is the true specific for kidney, bladder and urinary troubles. It has cured thousands of apparently hopeless cases, after all other efforts have failed. At druggists in fifty-cent and dollar sizes. A sample bottle sent free by mail, also a book telling about SwampRoot and its wonderful cures. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. and mention this paper. (tf?eI3nbepenbent ( LAY W.METSKEK, KDITOIt AND 1'KOritIKTOR. SUHSCKII'TIOX PKICE.

Jones, the state superintendent, argues for school eleven months in the vear. Evidently ones don't expect to run for olh'ce when the small boys get big enough to vote. The New York Sunday newspapers are nothing if not enterprising. The latest Vanderbilt baby was born on Saturday morning and the following Sunday morning the papers had the infant's layette fully illustrated . Gov. Mount is getting it measured back in the same kind of coin. His requisition upon the governor of Colorado has been turned down. Gov. Thomas says he is following the precedent established by Gov. fount in the cases of Taylor and Findlay, now fugitives from Kentucky. Th; wavs and means committee of the house has decided to keep the tax on tea and reduce that on beer 23 cents per barrel. How do the tea-drinking women who have beer-drinking husbands like it? And what have all the churches and temperance societies of the land to say about this truckling to the poor, dear millionaire brewers? The ship subsidy steal of $90,000,000 and the decrease in cigar and beer taxes are enough in themselves to kill the Republican party. If the passage of such measures is to be the chief action of the "ousiness session" about which Hanna has talked so much, fle sinks still lower in the public estimation. The ship subsidy benefits him personally. The other bill benefits those concerns which contribute most liberally to the political machine of which he is the head. Indianapolis Sun (Ind. Rep.) The duke of Manchester's marriage to a Cincinnati girl has been taken for a theme by a New York minister, who has preached a very stong sermon on international marriages. The reverend gentleman states that within the last few years 152 American girls, representing in their dowers $161,653,000, have married titled foreigner?, the majority of the husbands being profligates and bankrupts. The minister sees in these facts only evil, but it is among the possibilities that there is considerable general good in them. The girl who marries a fellow simply because he has a title gets cheated. It is highly probable that she realizes, when she takes him, that she is to be cheated, so far as marital happiness is concerned, so that the injury to the girl may be left out of the discussion, and we may get down to a matter of dollars and cents, millions of them. The millions that go with the girl are capable of great good if rightly applied. If the girl remains a maid her millions will be hoarded and

and finally go as a great "pile" to some heir who might keep t'e "pile" intact. If she marries a man of probity, he will add to her millions other millions. Neither of these things happens. She marries a bankrupt, whose object i to get hold of the money to spend. The protligate puts these millions into circulation that might otherwise be hoarded. A great fortune a pile of money much bigger than any individual ought to have is dissipated and funis its way into the hands of the tailor, horse dealer, y.tcht builder, castle builder and others who employ labor. Of course pi olligates are bad people. It would be a good thing if there were no protligato. Hut as long as there are such, unavoidably, isn't it a good thing that they marry the big fortunes? It takes the protligate sons and son-in-law of millionaires to put large quantities of money in circulation juicklv. They are the evil which makes comforting statistics on the per capita of circulation.

An amendment to the constitution of the United States has been proposed by Congressman Sibley, of Pennsylvania, proyiding that the term of the president be for a period of six years, instead of four, and that the term of the vice-president be increased to a period of seven years, and that neither ollicer be eligible to re-election. There will be many supporters of this amendment. Presidential elections have a tendency to disturb business and are more or less of a nuisance. In addition to all this, it is believed that when a man becomes president and knows that there is no such thing as a second term, he will serve the country better and exercise greater care in making appointments to oilice. All planning and scheming for a renomination will be dispensed with and the president can give h:s undivided attention to the duties of his otlice. The only people to be placed at a disadvantage by such an arrangement would be the political hucksters who are attracted by the boodle every four years. It would be longer between drinks. I.aiul and Water. The Washington Post, discussing deaths od laud and water, states that one's chance of being drowned by falling overboard or suffering shipwreck is, in the iiritisb merchant marine, as 1 to 17. If all other accidents occurring on ship board are taken into account, the chances are as 1 to 129. These figures hare reference to the oMicers and crew of the merchant service. The passenger's chnnces are rr-uch better. He has, in fact, few or no risks. Only 110 out of a total of hundreds of thousands of passengers carried by Hritish ships last year lost their lives. It would thus seem that it were safer to go to sea as a passenger than to stay on shore. (Jreat Britain employed last year in her merchant marine somethiDg more than 221,000 men. Of these there were lost by wreck or drowning 1,103 and from other causes 2C5, making a total ot 1,708 who perished at sea. It is noteworthy that sailing vessels are not as safe for sailors as steam vessels. In 1W)0 one British sailor in every eighty-one on sailiDg vessels was lost, while the proposition on steam vessels was one in every 152. The Post then enters on an interesting comparison between these figures as to British marine losses and the eta tistics supplied by the report of the American Interstate commerce commissioners, showing the accidental deaths among our railraad employees. There were last year in the United States 2,210 railroad employes killed and 31,923 Injured, a total of 37,133. In other words, we lost, in 18W, among railway men, two and one-half times as many as were killed and wounded of British forces In South Africa, the total British losses till July 1, 1900. being set down at 15,000. Taking into account all deaths on American railroads, employes, passengers and "trespassers," we have, for 1809, a total of ? 123. The total number of injured was 44,020, a grand aggregate of more than 51,000. Ton number greatly exceeds all losses from war in South Africa and the Philippine Islands. War and eeafariDg are not, therefore, attended with so many risks as traveling by rail. We are still evidently far away from perfection in railway travel. Many valuable improvements of a life-saving character have been, in truth, made, but there Is room for many more. Trut Law on Trial. The fate of all statutes in existence in the state of Illinois dealing with trusts and illegal trade combinations is now in the hands of Judge Tuley, Waterman and Dunne of the superior court. Their decision, which U to be rendered within the next few days, will either declare the whole of such legislation unconstitutional, or by defending its legality will demand from nearly 900 of the leading corporations of the state fines for the public treasury amounting to considerably more than 500,000.

l KMK.l.l.i; ( IIOOl.s. Stair Superintendent lim-' Outline Iii. ri;in. The state Mipenntt-ntlent of puhlic instruction, 'rank L.Jones, has lormulatnd a plan wlwehy the courses of s'udv of the country t-cliools niav be enriched and the ienpth of iheir tt-rnis increased. The plan is not in the form of a recommendation to the legislature, but ot a suggestion to the township trustees of the state, who already have all the legal power necessary to make all the changes that Superintendent Jones outlines. In forty-two counties country echools already have been consolidated and in these instances the pupils that live too faraway are taken to school in wapone, the saving by the consolidation more than making up tor the expense of the conveyances. In one township in Wayne county all the small schools have been combined into one and the plan is said to be more than satisfactory. Superintendent Jones' plan does not involve any increase in the tax levy in any iustanc, and in most cases there will be a decrease. l.K;isi..Tl i: i ;;i.sTlos. . iiimhI nifiit ! I. ir liiHuriiiM-e I.aw lei rel. Some of the prominent life insurance companies are trying to interest members of the legislature in amendments which they say are necessary in their business. The passage of a bill that will give them the privilege to make loans on policies issued by husbands for the benefit of their wives is desired. Under the existing statutes most companies refuse to make loans on such policies, for the reason that any reie-ise or assignment made by a married woman tor the purpose of obtaining money to be used by her husband is void. Some companies will make a loan when the wife makes atlidavit that the money is for her use, but in this case, if the company or its agent knows that she was in fact signing the note for the purpose of getting money for her husband, she may subsequently bring suit to recover the entire amount of the policy if she so desires. Cases of this kind, it is said, have been frequent. The Want of. I.ony HMe. The legislative inspection committee, accompanied by (Joverner elect Durbin, began work on the affairs of the Northern Indiana hospital for the insane Friday morning. Superintendent Rogers had a mass of information at hand for the use of the committee. The salaries and wages for the biennial period ended October 31, HU0, was 541,907 CI. The following are the estimates for appropriations for maintenance for each year of the biennial period, ending October 21, 1903: Trustees, 81,200; otlicers, 810,000; attendants, $20,100; other employes. öl2,300; total, $IS,CuU. Subsistence fresh meats, 811,000; cured meats and Sard, 83.M0; bread stuffs, 85.S00; cereals, etc., 82,000; tea and coffee, 82,700; pugar and syrup, 84,000: vinegar and condiments, 8.00; butter and cheese, 8,000; etrgs, 82,000; vegetables, fresh and canned, 81,000; fruits, fresh and dried and canned. 81,400; total, 44,200. Other articles set out in the request make the amount 8120,875. The institution also asks for special

appropriations as follows: Waterworks 810,000; frame buildings, 85,800; boiler house repairs, 81,000; cement laundry extension, 82,000; bakery, 83,000; refrigerators, 8-",000; 6tore house, 85,000; irrigation repairs, 81,800; roofcresting, 8800; mechanical work-shop, 82,700; electrical and painters' shop 81,000; tile lloors, 82,800; total specific appropriations, 815,000. The trustees thus ask for 8135,000 a year for maintenance until 1903; specific, 845,000; repairs, 87,500; a gr.nd total of 8187,500 a year. The annual report of the trustees, submitted for information to the committee, shows the preseut population of the institution to be 790. Labor Comiiilnsioner'H Keport. The biennial report of the state labor commissioner, filed with the governor, advocates, under certain conditions compulsory arbritration and advises that the law providing for arbritration should be amended in two particulars: "First In all cases where disputes arise from any cause it should be made unlawful for a lockout or strike to be resorted to without tir6t attempting conciliation, the offense to be punisha ble as a misdemeanor. "Second Whenever, during the progress of a lockout or strike, human life is jeopardized, security to property is threatened, public order is overthrown or the law is willfully defied r r violated, both parties to such lockout or strike should be required to obey a mandatory order to submit their contention to arbritration in eome manner mutually agreeable." To ICrpeal Itjtrrett I. aw. The matter of repealing the Barrett lw will come before the next session of the state legislature. The law has caused wide interest in this state as well as other states The law provides for the assessment of property for the improvement according to the front, foot frontage, without considering the value the property will derive from the improvement. It is proposed to pass a bill authorizing the assessment of property on the basis of benefits. After this matter is settled by the legislature, the city fathers of Plymouth will take up the street paving proposition and push the much needed improvement. IHHcane Prevwlrm-e in Indiana, lleports of the state board of health from health otlicere and physicians show that the following diseases increased in area of prevalence as compared with the preceding month: Bronchitis, ton

eilitii?, rheumatism, diphtheria, influenza, scarlet fever, pneumonia, meatls. The diseases which decreased in area of prevalence were tphoid fever, intermittent fewr, diarrhoea, dysentery, whooping couch, ch lera morbus, pifrperal fever, cerebro spinal meningiin, cholera infantum. The decrt-ase in cholera infantum was M per cent., and the cause is simply 'hat the children do not get spoiled food, as the cold prevents rapid spoiling. If by intelligent methods we would keep foods pure and good, cholera infantum would almost completely disappear. Hog cholera was reported epidemic in Laporte and Whitley counties. Smallpox in November visited (Jrant, Jackson, Allen. Jenninge, Marion and Waehington counties.

Gilbert Vlnall Write Santa. Ciilbert, the little sou of Jute Vinall, believes in getting his wants to Santa Claus in good time. He sent a letter to Santa Claus the other day addressing him at 4,Stanta Claus Town, Ind., V. S. A., Snow county." Santa got it all rieht; in fact, he couldn't miss it with all the address on the envelope. It went straight to him and it pleased him so that he brought it around and showed it to the editor of the Independent. The letter is as follows: Plymouth, Ind., Dec. 7, 1900. Dear Stanta Claus Please bring me a rockinc-horee, pair of shoes, stockings, jingle-tells, drum, a new suit, Old Grimes and mule, candy, nuts and oranges. 1 know I have been a pretty bad boy sometimes, but I try to be good and I am going to try harder than ever to be good to all boys and girls and to Clarence, my little playmate. Well goodbye. I wish you a merry Christmas and happy New Year. Your little friend, GlLHEKT. P.S. Don't forget Esther. 1 think she would like a dolly, a cup and saucer and plate, knife, fork and spoon, also a little red cart, candy, nuts and oranges. (IlLUKKT. Santa Claus had a sneaking idea that Esther had a hand in preparing the letter and that the N. B. after thought was Esther's suggestion. At any rate, he will try and fill Gilbert's order. He has a whole lot of little fellows to look after, but he will take care of Gilbert and Esther, unless he forgets about them. They should send him a postal card reminder the day before Christmas. Tein peraot'e People Win. The temperance people of Kewanna won their eighth victory over saloon applications with a power-of-attorney remonstrance. Daniel Klopp and Chas. bcheer were applicants at the present term, and were defeated. The temper ance people of that township refrained from voting at the last election for governor,, so that the labor of remonstrance would be easier. They had a bare majority of the vote cast for Durbin on the remonetrance. Two of the county commissioners held that the Durtin vote should be the basis, while the other commissioner wanted to take the vote frr electors, wnich would have defeated the reraonstrators. Klerteil Their Otlieer. The Bremen agricultural fair associaation has elected the following oflicers for tha ensuing year. President, John (iravison; viee-president, John Huff; secretary, Edward Heckaman; assistant secretary, Oliver E Dietrich; treasurer, Wm. II. HulT; board of directors are J. It. Snyder, Jacob Carbiener, Joseph Senff, George Stock, Jacob Vollmer, J. W. Brougher, Edward Heckaman, John Gravison and Harm Knoblock. The association at their meeting paid off half the assessment on stock assessed in 1899 to the stockholders. The stockholders decided to hold another fair and the dates will be announced later. Silk Thieves Wanted. George M. Appleby, chief of police of Beloit, Wis., has notified Sheriff Hondurant to be on the lookout for two silk thieveB who stole 700 yards of silk, 300 pairs kid gloves and 5 pieces of furs from a store in Beloit. The men are described as "Bloomington Ued," 35 years old, 5 feet 10 inches tall, with red hair and sandy mustache, with two fingers off of his right hand. The other man is described as "Dutch," alias "Morgan" alias "Ileies" and as being 35 years old, of light complexion and has a cork leg. filiform System of llookkee ping. A bill for a uniform system of bookkeeping and account of county offices is being prepared, and this reform will be strongly urged in the next legislature. It is proposed to have the form of tax duplicate and bookkeeping the same in the ninety-two counties and in order that the law may be enforced the bill will provide for the appointment of an assistant deputy of the auditor of stale, who will conduct an examination of all county otlicea once a year. The (tovernnr'A Inaugural. The inauguration of (iov rnor-elect Durbin on January 14 will be attended by more elaborate decorations, music and ceremonial than has ever before characterized an inaugural event in Indiana. The plans are now being arranged by the committee in charge. The ceremony proper will be held at noon on the 14th. Prohibit Cigarette Selling. State Senator A. M. Burns, of South Bend, is preparing a bill forbidding entirely the sale of cigarettes in the state of Indiana and making it a misdemeanor to sell them or to smoke them in certain public places. It is believed that most thinking people will hope for the passage of this bill. Ieiiio-rat ic Meeting in January. Chairman Martin of the democratic state committee said Tuesday that a meeting of the committee probably will be held early In January.

THE BUSY IIORSF. STOI.KN. losiah .laooby's Horse and Carriage la Taken fron Main Street. Mr. and Mrs. losiah Jacoby, living about live miles east of this city, were compelled to walk home Saturday e?enitiK because someone had stolen their boree. They drove to this city about 7 o'clock in the evening and tied their horse in front of Jacox's grocery store and went down town to do some trading. About 8:30 o'clock when they went to get their rig to ro home, they found it was gone. They could find no one who knew anything about it and so started home, thinking that probably she might have gotten loose and gone home, but when they reached home ehe was not there and Mr. Jacoby came back to town to make inquiries, but could find no clue whatever and has not yet been able to do so. It was a large black mare, weighing about 1,200, and a black carriage, the rig being worth about 6200. Later: The horee and buggy were found about noon Monday, the buggy on the roadßide north of Plymouth about live miles. A farmer had taken the horee in charge until the owner could be found. A S10 reward had been offered. It is now thought that the horse broke loose from the rack. Diphtheria at Culver. The six-year-old son of John Tatael, of Culver, died Thursday, Dec. 6, of diphtheria after an illness of only a few days. The funeral was a private one being held in the afternoon.
