IT IS EASY TO TELL

People who fail to look after their health are like the carpenter who neglects to sharpen his tools. People are not apt to get anxious about their health soon enough. If you are "not quite well" or "half sick" have you ever thought that your kidneys may be the cause of your sickness?

It is easy to tell by setting aside your urine for twenty-four hours a sediment or settling indicates an unhealthy condition of the kidneys. When urine stains linen it is evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate, scanty supply, pain or doll ache in the back is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order.

There is satisfaction in knowing that the grrnt remedy, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, fulfills every wish In relieving weak or diseased kidneys and all forms of bladder and urinary troubles. Not only does Swamp-Root give new life Mid activity to the kidneys—the cause of trouble, but by treating the kidneys It acta as a tonic for the entire constitution. If you need a medicine take Swamp-Root—it cares. Sold by druggists, price fifty cents and one dollar, or by sending your address and the name of this paper to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, X. Y., you may hare a sample bottle of this great discovery sent to you free by mail.

walk was one of the most interesting entertainments ever given here and from the rivalry that has been aroused it is likely next week's affair will be even more interesting.

The city school trustees have selected Miss RoseB. Griffith as teacher of writing ani drawing in place of Prof. TJtterback, who left Christmas week for San Antonio, Texas, to accept a similar place. Miss Griffith has been a teacher in the public schools for some time and this appointment is in the nature of a promotion.

The Big Fours thirty day option on certain real estate between Seveuth and Eighth streets adjacent to its right of way will expire shortly, and some decisive action is expected regarding the erection of a new depot here. It is said the probabilities are stronger now than ever before for the construction of a new depot that will be a credit to the road and the city, in place of the ugly,little makeshift that Colonel South has termed the "Yaller" depot. _____

Qazzard W. Dean, a well known and popular conductor on the Yandalia, who has been suffering for a long time with a mysterious disease that baffled the skill of the doctors, died this week, and Coroner Payne held a post-mortem examination on his body.

The Western association will hold its meeting at Chicago in February, and it is said that if the proper effort is made Terre Haute can secure admission to it. It is one of the strogest minor base ball leagues in the country, and has turned out quite a number of stars for the national league.

The rains of the past few days have caused a rise in the Wabash, and great estimates are made of the d.image that will follow, especially below here, where it is said in Knox, and Gibson counties alone the damage will exceed $100,000.

Word was received Thursday of the death in Marion, Ind., of Henry Michel, whose wife was formerly Miss Louise Debs, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Dabs, of east Main street. He was a florist at Marion, where he had lived for many years. His remains will be brought here for burial, and the funeral will take place from the residence of John G. Heinl, at Eighth and Mulberry streets, at ten o'clock to-morrow morning.

The numerous friends in this city of Charles W. Conn were greatly shocked at the news that reached here Tuesday of his unexpected death at Chicago, from nervous prostration. Last summer he received a severe injury in a street car accident, and suffered the loss of a leg, which prostrated him for a long time. He improved, however, and some time ago was able to return to business. Two weeks ago he was seized with nervous prostration, and this led to his death. He was native of Terre Haute, and was about forty years of age. He was one of the first newsboys The Saturday Evening Mu.l ever had. When he entered an active business career he became a clerk in the Prairie City bank, where he advanced in successive steps by his own endeavors until ho became cashier, resigning this position when the Vigo County National bank was organized, to accept a similar position with that institution. He retired from that place several years ago to go into business on his own account, becoming a member of the firm of Scudder, Conn & Brown, syrup manufacturers of Chicago, all Terre Haute boys, who made a success in a larger field. He was married here to Miss Mattie Scudder, who, with two children, survives him. He had one sister residing here, Mrs. F. M. Dunkin. The remains were brought here for interment.

Watson, and treasurer, G. A. Schaal.

Thomas Caughlin,? an old and well known resident of Terre Haute, died at his home on south Eighth street, Tuesday morning, at the age of seventy-one years. He was in former years well known as an employee of Jacob D. Early, Sr., when the latter was conducting a large pork establishment, forming one of the most im portant business industries of the city, and was later a member of the police force, and until a few years ago was watchman at the Main street bridgt

The case of Mrs. Hattie Harding, or Fairbanks, as she claimed, against the administrator of the estate of the late Frank Fairbanks, was settled at Newport, on Monday. By the terms of the compromise the alleged widow was given $ft,000 in cash, certain property on south Seventeenth street, and personal effects at the family residence east of the city. The compromise Is considered a victory by the defense, as if the plaintiff had won she would have had her interest established in an estate valued at not less than $50,000, and estimated at from $75,000 to $100,000. The terms of the compromise provided that the plaintiff's costs in the case should be p«id, including attorneys' fees.

The county commissioners will, on Monday, take up the accounts of ex-Sheriffs "Billy" Stout and John Butler. E. S. Erne has examined the accounts of both officials, at the request of the county commissioners and finis that both ex-officials are indebted to the county. Mr. Stout claims that the apparent deficiency in his accounts is due to a wrong construction of the fee and salary law which went into effect during his incumbency of the office,

while Mr. Butler claims that the connty yet owes him for various official services rendered as sheriff for which no allowance has been made./

Rev. George H. Simmons, of Louisville, Ky., will preach at the First Baptist church to-morrow, morning and evening.

Darkies of the Eastern Shore.

It is worth while to see them drive into one of the villages, say on a Saturday when the country people are gathering to do their shopping. One •will see many an old negro come driving in at a snail's pace, clad in ill fitting garments too big or too little, of any color or no color, ragged and patched. He slouches on the seat of his tumble down wagon as if it were too much trouble to sit erect or as if he were about to fall over into the bottom of the vehicle and go to sleep. His steed is a mule, small, bon^, starved looking wabbling in gait, a very caricature of his kind. One expects him every moment to stop and go to feeding on the grass that grows near the gutter. The wagon rattles from afar. Every bolt and screw is loose, the wheels seem about to fall entirely off, the sideboards sway and the seat moves from side to side, apparently at the peril of the occupant. The harness is composed largely of rope and twine. The lines are innocent of all accusation of being leather. One would be willing to risk his life on a venture that such a team would never get down the street to the hitching place by the pump, but the zigzag journey is safely made, with no sign of anxiety on the part of the driver, and he hails his lounging comrades on the pavement with a guffaw that can be heard a mile. The voices of the ill clad but happy group sound mellow and sweet and good natured as they chaff each other. These voices are the very expression of the happy go lucky, idle, easy, careless life of these people, too indolent to sound all the syllables of their words. Yet they are happy. To see and hear them one would *hink there was no tomorrow, nothing to be done in the world and no such thing as care upon earth. —Calvin Dill Wilson in Lippincott's.

The Use of the Superlative.

•From Macaulay a very large assortment of bests, biggests and greatests might bo culled a few will suffice. "William Pitt was the greatest master of the whole art of parliamentary government that has ever existed and the most powerful subject in Europe before he was 25." 'The Task,' incomparably the best poem that any Englishman then lining had produced." "The greatest work of Dryden was the last, the 'Ode on St. Cecilia's Day.'

In the second series of "Obiter Dicta" we have two notable critical awards. In the first .Matthew Arnold is quoted, saying that Emerson's essays are the most valuables prose contribution to English literature of the century.

Yet we remember that Archbishop Whately could not sufficiently ridicule Emerson, and what the archbishop (quoting from Bishop Copleston) called "the magic lanthorn si cool.

The other example, from Mr. Birrell, touches Pope and Miltcn. "To*(say that the 'Rape of the Look' is the best mock heroic poem in the language is to say nothing to say that it is the best in the world is to say more than my reading warrants, but to say that it and 'Paradise Regained' are the only two faultless poems of any length in English is to say enough."

Some readtrs will surely say more than enough. The mention of Pope recalls his famous lines on Bacon in the "Essay on Man:" If parts allure thee, thinlc how,Bacon shin'd, The widest, brightest, meanest of mankind. —Gentleman's Magazine.

Eye Remedies.

TEBBE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL, JANUARY 22. 1898.

One of the simplest and best remedies for inflammation or strain is to bathe the eyes in warm water. Another good remedy is a solution of salt and water made by putting a teaspoouful of fine table salt into a half pint of water. Let it boil, and when cold strain it, removing any particles or sediment. Putting this on the outside of the lids is simply a waste of time. The eye should be opened, the lids drawn back, and the inflamed portion touched with a camel's hair brush dipped in the salt witter. Outside applications do not reach the seat of the uilment. A ttaspoouful of boracic acid in half a pint of water prepared in the same way is excellent. If there are granulations and very serious inflammation, boil a teaspoonlul of alum in a pint of water until ic is dissolved, then strain or filter as described and apply with a camel's hair brush several times a day. This is one of the most eflicrcious of remedies. —New York Ledger.

Government and the Citlxen.

To what extent the government touches the private life of a citizen of the United States is shown in a very striking way by Professor £ugene Warnbaugh of the Harvard La#v school in an article in TJbe Atlantic Monthly. From "Ihe time that a man rises, all through his business and social activity of the day until he goes to bed again, the government touches him at every step, providing for him, regulating him, telling

Liiii what he may and what he may not do, until there seems hardly the necessity to discuss increasing the scope of government, so rapidly is it becoming wider and wider under the natural tendency of the times.

When Collins Was Prominent.

Human oonceit was the theme of a little group of men the other day, and one reliable citizen told this remarkable story: W& "I've known conceited men in iny lifetime, but there is a picture somewhere in this town which illustrates an excess of self approval not often encountered. I have not seen the picture for several years and would like to show it in proof of my story, but to borrow or steal it would doubtless be impossible. A

number of years ago, when the Mount Vernon association had been organized to reolaim and preserve the old home of George Washington, this acquaintance of mine—Collins by name—went on a summer excursion to the national capital. While there he made a trip down the Potomao river to Mount Vernon and happened to be on the grounds when the Mount Vernon association was having photographs taken of various points of interest, including the old tomb of Washington, the new tomb, etc. When the new tomb was photographed, various men of national prominence being in the group standing beside the mausoleum under the fine trees which shade it, Collins, uninvited, by some hdok or crook managed to slip in among the bystanders and thus became a figure in the photographs. Tb,is wps bad enough, but the sequel is worse. He brought the picture home with him, and unless the enraged gods have destroyed it it still hangs in his parlor along with other monstrosities of bad taste, bearing under the photograph this legend: 'Collins at the tomb of Washington. "—Detroit Free Press ijilOO Reward, 10()

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages and that is catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucuous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers, that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address, F, J.
