The Eminent Kidney and Bladder Specialist.

The Discoverer of Swamp-Root at Work la His Laboratory. There is a disease pr?vai!ir; in this country most dang-rous because so deceptive. Many sudden deaths are caused by it heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure or apoplexy ate often the result of kidney disease. If kidney trouble is allorvsd to advance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away ce!l by cell. Then the richness cfihe blood the albumen leaks out and the sufferer his Bright's Disease, the worst form of kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root the new discovery 13 the true specific for kidney, bladder and urinary troubles. It has cured thousands of apparently hopeless cares, after all other efforts have failed. At druggists in fifty-cent and dollar sizes. A sample bottle sent free by mail, alio a book telling about SwampRoot and its wonderful cures. Address Dr. Kilmer ic Co.. Binghamton. N.

McKinley and Roosvelt can now settle down to business in perfect security. They are elected at last. The local trading-stamp company gives away several thousand dollars worth of merchandise a year thereby reducing the volume of trade to the same exten. The Cooper anti-trust bill, advanced to third reading in the house yesterday, will not cause the octopus to sit up nights and lose flesh from worry. Indianapolis News. An onion breath may cause a strike of Chicago street car conductors. One manager has issued an order that suspension or discharge will be in store for the man who assumes his duties with an onion tainted breath. Reasons not so strong as this have caused strikes. In his New York ltncoln day speech Senator Depew said that he heard the great emancipator once say that he never invented stories and therefore could not be classed as a humorist or a wit. He delighted in hearing good stories, though, and in rehearsing them to "point a moral or adorn a tale. Fine work was done in the legislature Friday in the way of knocking out unwise or pernicious legislation. Among other measures that got a body-blew was the free text-book in the public schools bill. This would have cost thousands on thousands of dollars, taxed thou sands of people for no reason and have tended to pauperize the school children. It was a piece of paternalism utterly uncalled for. Indianapolis Press, The trading-stamp company complains against the alleged injustice of the exclusion of its advertising from the local papers. To answer this specious argument it is only necessary to call attention to the duty of the press to protect home industry before considering the rights of an outside concern. The Logansport merchants have Lignified their desire to discourage the evil of prize giving and as the newspapers look to the business men for support to champion a cause inimical to their business would be not only bad business policy, but contemptible disloyalty. The Reporter does not believe that stamp companies have any sentimental rights which we are bound to respect and we do know that all honorable means are justified in an effort to eradicate the practice. Logansport Reporter. Maurice Thompson, the noted Indiana author, died Friday morning at Crawfordsville after a lingering illness. Mr. Thompson was born in 1844. His most popular work is Alice of Old Vincennes." Alice of Old Vincennes" has had an enormous sale and is still selling in large numbers. During the holjdtyi its publishers sold rainy thou-

sand copies. The fact that Maurice Thompson had lain dangerously ill diil not prevent the announcement by three different publishing firms of forthcoming novels from his pen, to he issued this spring, "Milly," "Sweetheart Manette" and "The King of Honey Island." It is probable that all three are early works of the author, which owe their resuscitation to the success of "Alice of Old Vincennes."

IINCIE NOK.M.W. SCHOOL. In the state senate, the Muncie normal school bill, the epileptic institution bill and the bill to refund to Vincennes universitv have parsed. There are strong arguments advanced for each bill which are worthv of most careful consideration. Muncie offers to give the state land and buildings to the value of 75,000 and only asks $40,000 per vear to maintain the institution. It is claimed, and rightly too, that if another normal is not established that the state will have to appropriate funds to enlarge the institution at Terre Haute. Terre Haute cannot at present accommodate all that apply in the spring and summer season. Other states have more than one state normal school; some have as many as six. The $40,000 appropriation for maintaining the Muncie normal will be a tax of 1 cent on every $1,000 valuation. It is safe to say that a school located nearer to the people of the north part of the state would effect a great saving in the way of railroad fares to those who take normal school instruction. Muncie is not trying to "pass off" a worn-out, defunct property on the state as some of the papers are claiming. She is an enterprising city, wants a state educational institution and is willing to pay the state well to recognize her, in that the $75,000 property is offered to the state as a gift. The cry of econ omy is always advanced when appropriations of this kind are considered, but there is a true economv and a false economy. The false economy is the "penny-wise and pound foolish." Indiana is a great state and has great capabilities. Why not encourage such educational institutions and make it possible for all who desire normal school training to get it without prescribing an educational qualitication as prevails at Terre Haute every spring and summer. Hundreds are denied entrance into that normal because of these restrictions, and it certainly seems wise that at least some provisions should be made by which it would become possible to remove these restrictions. The writer of this article is the representative of Marshall county. He is not prepared to sav how he will vote when the matter comes before the house, but the above matters are certainly worthy of earnest thought and consideration. If it is true economy to establish a state normal at Muncie, it should be established ; if on the contrary, true economy is with the proposition either to enlarge the Tene Haute institution or continue to bar out the hundreds that demand nor mal school advantages, then the Muncie proposition should be turned down. Thoughtful persons will not jump at senseless conclu sions. This is a matter that is worthy of consideration other than the argument of the Almighty dol lar. CAI'ITAL I'l'MSIIMKNT. The people of Indiana are not wotried as to whether capital punishment shall be by electrocution or by hanging. Of one thing, how ever, we are sure we want to keep capital punishment, for the present at least. It is all right to talk of the sacredness of human life, but whose life? Is it the life of the peaceful, upright innocent citizen who never swerves from the path of duty, or the brutal assassin who lies in wait for this citizen and takes his life for a paltry sum of money? Society has a right to be protected from this murderer and the only sure protection is that the murderer's life be required of him at the hnds of the law. Sentiment and humanity are not to be forgotten in the treatment of criminals, but the thousands of innocent citizens have an equal right to the protection of

the law and ought to he included in the list of those whose lives arc considered sacred. Colorado is a state that has surrendered to this maudlin sentiment of the "sanctity of the criminal" and it has a law passed by the populists prohibiting capital punishment. The criminally minded have taken advantage of this law, and knowing that as long as there is life there is a chance of freedom, murders have greatly increased. There is an attempt being made now to reinstate capital punishment. Colorado has learned

the lesson that other states would learn if capital punishment were prohibited. It is all right to try to reform the criminal, but it should never be done when it is a menace to the community. The law-abiding people certainly deserve a much consideration as the cowardly assassin. Anderson Herald. KKKOKM LAW HAS WOHKIll) WELL. The Indianapolis Press in reference to the results of the county reform laws, notes the fact that the first full year of the operation of the system showed a saving of something over $2,252,000, while the saving in township poor relief brought the anr.ount saved to approximately $3,000,000, without taking into account the other departments of township expenditure. It then adds with a great deal of force that all reports agree that the financial saving affected by this reform is probably the least of its good results. Under "its operation the out-door poor relief work has been carried on more intelligently and eüiciently ; that county institutions have been more carefully and more cleanly managed ; that contracts for county and township public works have been more carefully watched and more faithfully carried out; that there has been more intelligent and honest administration in both these branches of local government, and, best of all, that there has been a very appreciable decrease of corruption and a distinct elevation of the moral conception of otlicial duty." PAN-AM KKICAN HILL. Representative of the Kv position Heard by the IIou.se. The house met at 1:30 Thursday, Feb. 14, half an hour earlier than usual, to give G. P. Conger, the special commissioner for the Buffalo PanAmerican exposition, a hearing on the question of the appropriation the legislature should make for Indiana's representation at the exposition. A bill has been introduced appropriating $50,000 for this purpose, and Mr. Conger presented at some lensth his argument for the passage of the bill. LeginlatlVe Note. Indianapolis, Feb. 14. The senate has passed tbe bills establishing an epileptic asylum at Coltimbup, paying the Vincennes university claim and establishing a new normal school at Muncie. Tbe republican majority frilled the Slack aoti trust bill today after a warm discussion. The senate killed the boiler inspection bill, backed by tbe Indiana federation of labor today. The first temperance bill to be introduced in the senate wat eeot up to the reading clerk by Senator Lindley of NoblesTille this morning. It requires the signature of a majority of the voters of a ward or precinct to a petition for a liquor license before the license can be granted. Senator Coologue introduced in the senate, by request, this morning, a new legal notice advertising bill agreed on by the democratic and republican editorial association representatives. It differs slightly from the Hums bill. Advertising rates remain the same as they are now, and when the two party papers publieh delinquent tax lists they divide the sum equally now allowed by law. Under the Burns bill each paper was to receive the sum named in the law. The Burns bill will be withdrawn. The bill also differs from the Burns measure in that it provides that where tbe business refers to a city, publication of legal notices shall be in the daily. Thirty members of the Indiana Retail Grocers association were nefore the senate judiciary committee to bring pressure in behalf of a bill thatexempts from garnishment only 75 per cent, of a man's wages, salary or income. A. J.Mears, of South Bend, state organizer and attorney, addressed the committee. The grocers' complaint is that the boarding-house can catch a person that attempts to beat it, but the grocer that furnishes the food fur the boarding-house is without relief; the furniture man takes a lien on furniture sold, but the grocer's goods are mostly consumed. The committee complimented Mr. Mears for the new light he had thrown on the subject, and it appears likely that a favorable report will be made on the bill.

(.Hill I OK t i: K OltN. A Mtoii llt i Itiil l.ctoir 11111111 il t ee of the lioilne. The house committee on drvnn and dykes was confronted Wednesday, Feh. Vi, by a bill ot astonishing provisions. Two men thht appeared to ppeak for the Mil, which has been introduced m the hout?e, mid they represent the state association of county surveyors. Th bill contains much detail, but the gi.t of it is that every two years a county surveyor may clean all of the ditches in his county, and shall receive for his service? si a day. He if empowered to employ all of the deputies he needs, and is allowed St a day for each of them. The bill contains an emergency clause. Mr. Metsker, a member of the committee paid: "This bill is a grab. The landowners to be aeeeBeed have absolutely no Bay as to when ditches sha.i be cleaned. The surveyor may put in an unlimited number of days at 4 a day, and rnay employ deputies at 1 ."0 a day and pocket the remaining 82 ")0 a day for each deputy. The bill, I believe, virtually repeals nearly all of the ditch Uwe." Indianapolis Press. Legislative Note. Indianapolis, Feb. 1. The house yesterday passed the 00 mileage book bill. A favorable report on an appropriation for a Btate building t tne PanAmerican exposition at Itutlalo, X. V., was killed. The senate passed a bill which forbids county scbool superintendents holdin private summer normals. A bill was passed which allows c tinties with a surplus school fund to make loans from such fund to counties in which there is a delicit. . The anti-kidnapping bill was favorably reported 10 the house and advanced to engrossment alter being amended so as to change the penalty from death to life imprisonment. Tfi bill applies to the kidnapping of persons of any age for reward or ransom. It owes its origin to the k idnapping of the Cudahy boy in Nebraska some time ago. J. A. Shunk and Frank Boas have been vieiting the legislature for a few days. Senator Stillwell introduced by request a bill which would mean a gieat deal of money in the pockete of every prosecuting attorney in Indiana and would mean a fortune to the prosecuting attorney of Marion county. It provides that the prosecuting attorney

shall receive a lee ot SIO, whether tne defendant is able to pay it or not At present the prosecuting attorneys of Indiana receive a salary of ."J0 and what fees they an collect from de feudants. The bill is said to have been prepared by the prosecutiDg attorneys. Mr. Neal's SOO-raile mileage book bill was handed down on third reading There was no discussion, but members dodged out to avoid voting. It pa-ned the house. The house committee on fees and salaries has agreed on a favorable re port on Senator Oborn's bill increasing tbe salary of the superintendent of public instruction from 2,500 to 3,000 a year. Representatives of organized labor in the lobby were stlned up yesterday when the boiler inspection b;ll was killed by 'he senate. Letters were at once sent to all parts of the state anri the senators "will hear from if," said one of the Nbor leaders. He sid the vote would either be reconsidered or a new bill put in and rushed through. The house refused to appropriate 835,000 for the Fan-American exposi tion at Buffalo, as recommended by a majority of the ways and means com mittee. It refused to make any appro priation. It would have been a useless waste of money. The labor leaders are demanding the passage of the Burkhart bill, making it null and void as against public policy for an employe to contract away his right to recover damages from an employer. The Pennsylvania railroad has a lobby on hand to defeat the bill, and the argu ment is made 1 hat it would Kill the voluntary relief department of that road. The labor leaders say that department as now managed is one of the things they are after. The majority of the judiciary committee agreed last night to report againtt the bill. The minority will report favorably. Small Man Iay Itaiik-Cherk Tax. The congress will make a mistake if it does not take the stamp tax oil bank checks A well-known banker says that the checks are written almost entirely by perßnns who have but email hank accounts. The big depositors draw out for pay-rolls with one check large sums, and pay their men in cash. Many do not give the government two cents ooce a month. When they draw they give the bank a receipt euch as ia a well-known feature of the banking business under the stamp law, and the revenue tax is not swollen through their offerings. But the man of email account checks out week after week for all that he buys. He pays the tax. lie is the man congrs should guard. He is the mao congress will deal with in the future. A DerUlon of tirnrral Interest. The board of commissioners of Dubois county sued Henry Cassidy and his sureties for all fees collected during the four years he was sheriff. The commissioners claim that the annual alary of tbe sheriff 1,000 was In

Judge E. A. Ely, of the Dubois circuit court, Saturday, decided that none of the fees for these duties are part of the sheriff's salary, and that he is to be allowed additional compensation for such services. The cloeeet point was as to whether the pT diem of the sheriff for attending commissioners' and circuit courts is to be considered part of the salary of the eheiill, or whether he is to be paid extra for euch eei vices. The judge decided that it was not part of the salary. The commipsioners immediately ordered an appeal to the supreme court. Dnllit I l.ihte-t WrigM. The Indiana Illustrated Weekly, printed at Indianapolis, contains the following: "The smallest man, physically, in the legislature 13 Representative Clay Metsker, of Marshall county. He is ibout half the size and weight of Cyrus E. Davis, the minority leader, who is his close friend and boon companion. Mr. Metsker is a very bright man and has made some strong speeches before committees that had his bills in charge wivh the result that he has been successful in getting most of them before the house on favorable reports. He is a newspaper publisher and be has had unusual success in building up rundown newspaper properties and making them paying concerns. He is fond of a joke and the other day when an Indianapolis newspaper printed on the same page a collection of pictures of members of the bouse and a collection of photographs of star murderers, Mr. Metsker exclaimed: I don't know whether that is intended as a elam on us or the murderers. " Mr. Metsker is represented as being the smallest man physically in the legislature. This is a slight mistake as he has the best of Representative Erdlitz by four pounds. II ii man llart In Court. The Wabash Times sayB"forthe first time in the history of trials for murder in Indiana the heart of the murdered person was exhibited in court here last week. It was a gruesome and ghastly exhibit and caused many faces to pale in the great audience that filled the court room. The heart of Mrs. Laura Rinkard was exhibited to the jury on a common wooden butter plate and afterward passed from juror to juror, each of whom passed it to the next with a trembling band and as expedious as possible." The case is one in which John Rink ard shot his wile dead and pleads insanity as the cause of the terrible tragedy. ltrv. Pro to 11' Petition. The Rev. A. S.
