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 kianeys are your blood purifiers, they filter out the waste or impurities in the ttocd. If they are sick cr out of order, they fail to do their work. Pains, aches and rheumatism come from excess cf 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 urin?.ry troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that rearly all constitutional diseases have the.r beginning in kidney trouble. If you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect cf 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 fifty- dflZXKV.:. cent and one-dollar siz- VA es. You may have a 'i sample bottle by mail Horn ft Swamp K t. free, also pamphlet telling you ho-v to find out if you have kidney or bladder trouble. Mention this paper when writing Dr. Kilmer tt Co..

A member of the legislature serving his first term uually learns much regarding the means reported to in order to get hills passed or defeated that is shocking as well as surprising. The average man upon assuming his duties as a law-maker takes it for granted that all propositions are considered upon their merits; that the men elected to such positions would discountenance nlliances rather than sacrifice their j judgment on matters of public policy ; that, considering the gra1? of men who are elected, convicti m as to the right would determine the course of every member of the legislature. It is a sail fact that such i is not the case. Experience justifies us in saying that the fellow who log-rolls (swaps support on various measures) is the fellow who succeeds in getting pet measures enacted into law. In the recent legislature, the house was largely free from such conduct, but the senate was simply a machine. Combinations were formed in that body, directed by Newby, of Henry county, which were powerful enough todwarf the efforts of the conscientious senators. In this statement our own Senator Parks is free to agree. It is to his credit that these combination schemes did not swerve him. Through Xewby's efforts an alliance was formed taking in over half the senators, negotiations were made, not for financial consideration, but simply agreements to trade support on various measures before that Dody. Otherwise it would have been impossible for the Muncie normal bill, the Calumet canal bill, the Vincennes claim bill, the strawboard trust bill, the epileptic-asylum bill and the railroad-consolidation bill to have passed that body. Had not these combinations been formed, it would haye been impossible to have defeated the anti-trading-stamp bill. With the combination as at first formed, Newby and Senator Joss, who were the chief manipulators, would solicit a disinterested senator who had some pet measure, and offer him fifteen votes for his pet measure in return for his vote for each of the above mentioned bills and against the anti-trading-stamp bill. The combination was so compact that the goods were easdy delivered, and in exchange they secured enough votes from other senators to accomplish their wishes in every particular. By this means most of the senators got the:r pet bills through that body. The fact that the writer was the author of the bill which the senate defeated gave him ample opportunity to study the plans of that dignified (?) body. It is fortunate for the people of Indiana, however, that the members of the house discerned

the plans of the senate schemes and all their grafts went down under an avalanche of votes from the representatives, except the railroad bill, the evils of which the house failed to discern. Fortunately sutlicient pressure vas brought to bear upon Gov. Iurnin to cause him to refuse to siiiii this bill and the last senate rraft went down. In the knowledge of such maneuvers on the part of the dignitied (':) body of law-makers, it is little wonder that the new representative quits his duties with changed and depreciated respect for law-making bodies. Indiana should take care that men are hereafter elected as law-makers who are conscientioul v opposed to such dickering as well as opposed t the commonest kiiwK of bartar.

The words of General Harrison concerning the oppressed and struggling Uoer, spoken in semi-delirium during his last hours, seem pathetic in the extreme. While it seemed best that he should maintain a discreet silence concerning the Iloer war because of the attitude of Iiis country concerning the strurrle. his heart was always with the weaker nation and against their oppressors. Iut the time at last came when the words he wished to say would be spoken, even though he had succeeded for a time in repressing them, and thus before he passed from earth he revealed to his countrymen where his sympathies were. South IJend Times. There is not much doubt but that the late General Harrison was far more toler::nt of the views of the democratic party after his retirement from ollice than he was at any time previous. For some reason, when either a democrat or a republican has held ollice for a number of years and the fact becomes apparent that such honors will never again come to him, the partisan spirit dwindles rapidly, and he is no longer so deeply interested in the nominations or in the campaigns. Can you explain it upon any other ground than that of selfishness? Columbia City Post. Frederick Ostermeyer, the oldest member of the house in the recent Indiana legislature, died yesterday, aged j.j years, lie was a man of sterling qualities and acquitted himself well in the duties which fell to his lot. Mr. Ostermeyer served with the publisher of the Independent on the committee on dykes and drams, and his counsel was valued highly by every member of the committee. lie was one of he Marion county representatives and was a republican in politics. New Orleans has, through her police board, introduced the revolutionary innovation of holding the police responsible for crime committed, on the old-fashioned theory that it is the province of the peace otlicer to protect by prevention. The Michigan legislature has decided to establish another normal school in the western part of the state. A committee of the members of that body made a tour last week of several towns that have applied for the prize. Boni Castelane proved that the Paris editor lied about him. In the dual, he sent a bullet through the hip of his opponent. Had the editor wounded Castelane, the charges against Boni would have been established. Andrew Carnegie declares it has always been his ambition to be a newspaper man. Well, when he has get rid of his cumbersome wealth, he will be in an admirable position to make a beginning. Ciovernnr'a Appointment. The governor announced a policy some time ago of making no changes about the state house until the legislature had adjourned. The appointees of tne late (iovernor Mount are still in otlice. Among the appointments to be made are: Adjutant general, quarter master general, capitol custodians, capitol engineer, factory inspector, labor commissi mers, and a clerk and a stenographer in the goveonor's otlice. The announcement of the appointment of Charles K. Wilson as private secretary was made soon after the legislature organized. Several of Governor Mount's appointees are very anxious to be retained in ollice, but it is said the governor has given nobody any assurance.

Lenoou For Young Men. E?erywhere there are young men who "know it all," and to tbeee Hob Hurdette gives some timely advice "Ichabod, my boy, I thought I heard you ereak of your sire this morning as the old man!" "You are IS years of age, are you not? Just eo. That is the age when a callow youth has his first attack of big head. You imagine at this moment that you know it all. I observed by the cut of your trousers, the aogle of your hat, the tip of your head, the flavor of your breath, the style of your shoes and the swagger of your walk, that you are badly gone on yourself. This is an error of youth which your uncle can overlook, but it pains him sorelv to hear you speak ia terms of disrespect of one you 6hould never, never mention save by the name, father. lie may not be up to your style in the modern art of making a fool of himself, but ten to one he forgets more in a week than you will ever know. He may not enjoy smoking .gutter snipes, chopped tine and encloeei in delicate paper, but he has born a good maoy hard kDocks for your sake, and is entitled to all the reverence your shallow brain can muster. Hy and by, when you are through knowing it all and begin to learn something, you will be ashamed to look io the glase, and you will wonder where the fool-killer kept himself when you were ripe for the sacrifice. Then when the 'old man' grows tired of the journey and stops to rest, and you fold his hands across his bosom and take a last look at a face that has grown beautiful in death, you will leel a sting of regret that you ever spoke of him so grossly and disrespectfully; and when other sprouts of imbecility use the language that so delighted you in the germinal period of manhood, you will feel like chasing them with a stick and crush ing their skull to see if there is any brain tissue on the inside."

Martin Kuhn ToM Them Wrong. Our readers will all remember that Henry Kcker, of Areola, was one of the very first victims for Marvin Kahns atter he escaped from the Ohio penitentiary, the latter having come along there on his way home and traded horses with him. The horse Kcker got wai soon apprehended by and returned to its owner and Kcker was out. He has made several attempts to ascertain from the desperado what was done with his animal and not long since Marvin imparted what was thought to be this information to his father and the latter communicated the same to Mr. Kcker. Kcker consulted with Sheriff (lalldgher and it was planned to go after the animal. Early last Friday morning they started on this mission, feeling quite confident the trip would result profitably (only to end otherwise.) They drove to the home of Thomas Collier, one mile south of Pierceton, who is a kin to the Kuhns, and where they had been informed that the horse could be found. Mr. Collier was somewhat 6urpnseu when he was told what they came for, but was emphatic in his assertions endeavoring to show that the "tip" given them had no foundation. He told the sheriff and Mr. Kcker to search the farm from one end to the other if they were in any doubt about what he said; that he never had the horse and did cot see Marvin all the time during his escape. It proved to be a piece of funny work on Marvin's part since his return to prison and Ecker is still the loser. South Whitley News. County Couucil. The county council met in special session Friday and there were present: Christian Fisher. Levi Artz, Perry Sarber, Henry Miller and Walter Kimble. W. A. Bland was detained on account of sickness and F. 'V . Monroe has gone to Oklahoma on a trip. The county auditor presented to the council the several estimates of the various county oflicers, asking special appropriations for their respective offices. For auditor, for postage 1900, S5.32; for postage 1901, S10, for adding machine 1901, $375. For suTYeyor, for office expense, stationary, 60.30. For superintendent, for balance due on salary for 1900, 3214. For assessor, for per diem 34 days in 1900, $105; stationery, $7.25; postage, 1900, $5.25; for expenses to attend the county assessor's meeting at Indianapolis on March 20, 1901, $16.08. For circuit court, fordeflciency of appropriation for law library 1900, $44.75. For commissioners court, for defraying expenses of contagious diseases for 1900 and 1901, S1.000. That for the said fiscal year there is hereby appropriated out of the "county bridge fund" the following for the Woodbury bridge, Center township, $400 and for the lioyce bridge, Walnut township $75. Transient Merchants. Senate act No. 173 makes it unlawful for any transient merchant to transact business without securing a license. Applications for license shall be tiled with the auditor of the county where the applicant desires to do business. In Marion county the applicant eball pay a license fee of $25 a day for the first ten days. Io counties having a city between 50,000 and 100,000 population, the license fee is the same, In counties with cities of from 20,000 to Io 000 the transient merchant shall pay a fee of $15 a day for the first ten dayB. In other counties the fee is 81 a day for the Grst ten days. Transient merchants are prevented from advertising bankrupt or-fire sales until licensed so to do, and a statement showing whence the goods came must be filled with the county auditor. A fine of from $50 to $500 is provided and from ten to thirty days' imprisonment is provided. Failure to take out a license gives the county treasurer a

lien on the goods. All licenses collected shall te paid into the common school fund. The act does not applv to peddlers from wagons or packs on their backs, hawkers on the streets or bonatide assignees or receivers appointed for the benefit of creditors. Towns and c:tie? are given power to tax or license transient merchants. The fee shall not exceed the amount specified in this law and shall be in addition thereto.

The Fair Will Knri h St. I.otii. The special dißpatch from St. Louis to the Chicago Chronicle save: Conservative estimates of the money to be spent here in the next three years in connection with the Luuieacft purchase exposition place it at JUKJ.OOO,000. St. Louis will contribute $10,000,000 to be devoted to the fair direct, the t'nited States $5,000,01)0, the state of Miesoun 1,000,000. In addition St. Louis will issue bonds in the f um of $10,000,000 for the purpose of beautifying and imp'oving the city for the reception of visitors from all the world. The money to be spent on displays from each of the other states and foreign countries and the thousands of visitors will more than swell the amount to :? 100.000,000. It is expected that a 6ite will be selected in the next bixty days. A statue to ;m. Ilarrittoii. The Indianapolis Sun sueges's a monument to (ieneral Harrison. It eays: ''Indiana should at once go about raising a handsome fund for a great statue of Benjamin Harrison. Let as not watt until time shall have worn in the least the edge of our sorrow at his absence. The gathering of the money should begin immediately. The city council of Indianapolis ought, if the la" allows, to make an appropria1 ion for a beginning of the fund." A nit tided KtliM'atioii I. km. The compulsory education law has been amended so that it includes children of the ages from seven to sixteen, and they are required to attend school for the full period provided by the township or corporation in which they live; except in cases where children of fourteen and fifteen years of age are actively engaged in supporting dependent members of the family, and in such cases they will only be required to attend school twelve weeks. Military Spirit i y Active. A Washington dispatch says there are more than seven thousand applications from volunteers and ex-volunteers for the 010 second lieutenancies in the new army. The fact that these applications came from men who have seen actual service, and that they are willing to take the lowest grade of commissioned otlicer shows that the military spirit is very active. Ku liss by .1 mIk Itaker. Judge Maker has made a ruling that the petition of a bankrupt and his subsequent discharge operates to discharge him from his liability as a member of any firm with which he has connection. There have been several conflicting de cisions on this point, but it is cited in the opinion that decisions to the contrary have been because of unusual circumstances. Wautcil Kviif ii-e of Itrotlier's Dratli. A half brother of a young man named Vanllorn, who was killed near Lapaz on the railroad about a year and a half ago, was at the police station in South liend last week, to get assistance in compelling a party who had boasted of knowing just how the accident occurred to tell what he knew of the affair.
