If you are in need of a loan, do not hesitate to see us. If there were no borrowers ,we would not be in business, and if there were not hundreds, in fact the majority of them coming to see us, it would not be possible for us to loan money at such astonishing low rates and on such easy terms, rates and terms which cannot be duplicated elsewhere in the city. Our many pleased customers are proof of our fair and satisf- ctory treatment ,while the great number of our new patrons ,who have investigated before borrowing, conclusively proves our assertions in regard to our rates. We loan money in sums to suit the borrower, on household goods, teams, live stock, farming implements and all other personal property, without removal, giving you such time as you may need and guaranteeing lower rates and easier payments than can be had of any similar concern in the city.

GLAD THAT FACTS ARE MADE PUBLIC (Continued from Page One. t)

-itA w&rea rrj

Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney and Bladder Trouble. Kidney trouble prejs upon the mind, discourages and lessensambition; beauty,

vigor ana cueeriulness soon disappear when the kidneys are

out of order or diseased.

Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be born afflicted with

weak kidneys. If the

child urinates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh, or if, when the Child reaches an Bje w hen it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted w ith bed-wet-tinir, depend upon, it, the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step'should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and Madder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made miserable with kidney and bladder trouble, uri'l both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of 5wamDRoot is soon realized. It is sold

by druggists, in fiftycent and one-dollar size bottles. You may have a sample bottle bv mail free, also a

pamphlet telling all about Swamp-Root, including many of the thousands of testimonial letters received from sufferers cured. In writing Dr. Kilmer & Co., Einghamton, N. Y. be sure and mention this paper. Don't make any mistake, but remember the name, Swamp-Root, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the address, , Einghaniton, N, Y., on ever bottle.

Horn, of Swamp-Root.

believe that any more of the details have been given by the press than are necessary to give us an intelligent view of the subject." The Rev. Mr. Charlton thought the laying bare of the facts would do good if the public is willing to profit by the lessons that ought to be taught. In discussing the question of marriage from suggestions in the Thaw case, the Rev. Mr. Charlton said: "I never stand at the marriage altar without

; feeling deeply the solemnity of the occasion, yet how many seem to look fin it s a trivial ihin& nnrl hv titir ac

tions after the ceremony and their treatment of the newly married couple think the whole event a huge joke the funniest thing in the world. "I am not saying that there ought not to be joy on such occasions. Surely no higher or sweeter joy can come

to fathers and .mothers than to see their sons and daughters wisely married. "Again, is it not well that we be reminded of the responsibility of fathers and mothers for their children? What sort of a mother did Mrs. Thaw have, as described by her own testimony? -I have no doubt but that the published testimony is true. A moth

er who would permit her sixteen-year-old daughter to associate with a married man, very much older too. ought to have the finger of shame pointed at her."

Notwithstanding the fact that the Main street pole ordinance is now in effect and by its provisions all companies maintaining poles oa Main strjeet are expected to remove these poles by February of next year, the Central Union Telephone Company evidently intends to . ignore the ordinance as the company still continues to rebuild its overhead system. The company is giving out no Information as to what course it will pursue In obeying the city's edict that poles must be removed from Main street within a year's time but the city officials take the company's activity in continuing to rebuild overhead as a silent answer that there

will be no poles removed by It unless the terms offered to the city by the

company over six months ago are accepted. It will be remembered that the Central Union Company, when It determined to rebuild its local system last spring, asked the city for an underground franchise. The city fearing that at some future time the Central Union might monopolize the telephone service in this city and boost rates to the high heavens, insisted that a maximum rate clause for business and private telephones, be inserted in the franchise. When the Indianapolis officials of the company heard what the city officials wished to insert in the fran- ; chise, they Indignantly refused to consider the proposition and the city, officials made a retort, courteous to the effect that the Central Union would either have to consider the ! maximum rate clause or it would consider no underground franchise at all. The officials of the company have since made no advances. The overhead system the company is now building will be quite an expense item and It is an assured fact that the company will not be willing to tear down these new improvements as

soon as completed and then be put to the expense of erecting poles in the

alleys north or south of Main street.

The other companies, with the exception of the Home Telephone Com

pany, affected by the ordinance, have not yet complied with its provisions, but will do so before the time limit expires. The Home Telephone Company has already removed its poles from Main street. It Is stated that a rigorous enforcement of the ordinance will mean that from 110 to 120 poles on Main street will be removed.

GOVEBUOR"CuPPERS" VERY BAD MEASURE

Places His Veto on Bill that Practically Makes Present of Land to Steel Co. IS LOCATED NEAR LAKE

DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF PLANT OF THE GREAT CORPORATION THAT IS BUILDING THE TOWN OF GARY.

Indianapolis, Feb. 25. uovernor Hanly this afternoon returned to the house, house bill No. 230, with his veto, ha bill was entitled a bill "to enable owners of land bordering on Lake Michian to acquire title to submerged lands belonging to Indiana," and laying in front of such abutting land and between the shore line of said lake and the dock or harbor line, now es-

tablished or hereafter to be established

by the government of the United States." Governor Hanly said he desired to encourage the building up of manufacturing institutions along Lake Michigan, but he contended that the measure was unfair to the state in many ways, more especially the fact that the purchaser was not compelled to fill In the lands and the speculators could and possibly would make purchase and hold for speculative purposes, greatly to the disadvantage of the state and the residents of the district. He advised that the state hold the title to the lands until they were filled in and also that there was a grave question as to the constitutionality of the bill. The bill is said to have originated with the United States Steel company, which is building a large plant at Gary, and which company desired to purchase the lands in front of their plant

Three out of every five children born are girls. Death removes two young men to oue married man or old bachelor." The old man turned pale and grasped a chair for support. After a pause she continued: "From June to October over 80,000 marriageable young women visit fashionable watering places, and it is estimated that 31.442 of them catch husbands, thus further reducing the chance of a resident cockney. Father, take this pencil and figure out your Vic la's chances of catching another man if she lets Harry Wllkins canter away." "Great JImminy!" he gasped, figuring for a moment.

Subject of Salaries Under Discussion Probable Action Against Players Who Hold Out Until Last Minute for Big Salaries. New York. Feb. 2S. Thoufn

sions of both the National and American league were scheduled for today. Interest centered in the American league session at the Fivth Avenue hex tel. A schedule with only twentytour conflicting dates has been drawn up, and unless objected to by the National League club owners, it mill bo adopted this afternoon. President Johnson, of the National American league, said the proposition to take action against players who hold out until the last minute for more salary had been seriously considered and the subject is still up for discussion. There is no chance of an adjustment whereby . all players will draw equal salaries. There may bo a sliding scale of fines. Several National League managers called at the Fifth avenue hotel and talked trades to American league men. Among these were John McClosky, of the St.

Louis club and Owner Dovey, of the Boston. The joint rules committee

will meet tomorrow.
