The bladder was created for one purpose, namely, a receptable for the urine, and ae such it is not liable to any form of disease except by one of two ways. I The flret way is from imperfect action of the kidneys. The second way is from • careless local treatment of other diseases. I CHIEF CAUSE. Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid j neys is the chief cause of bladder troubles. I So the womb, like the bladder, was creat- j ed for one purpose, and if not doctored too much is not liable to weakness or disease, except in rare cases. It is situated back of and very close to the bladder, therefore any pain, disease or inconvenience manifested in the kidneys, back, bladder or urinary passage is often, by mistake, attributed to female weakness or womb trouble of some sort. The error is easily made and may be easily avoided. To find out correctly, set your urine aside for twenty four hours; a sediment or settling indicates kidney or bladder trouble. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great kidney and bladder remedy is soon realized. If you need a medicine you should have the best. At druggists fifty cents and one dollar. You may have a sample bottle and pamphlet, both sent free by mail. Mention the Independent and send your address to Dr. Kilmer A Uo., Binghamton, N. Y.

It looks like Wjoded island illuminated at the World’s Fair. The dancing lights of the

Brry boats--those from the bluffs across me river—the slow-moving mass of Hights just going by is a steamer moving lup to the landing and over all the two I broad arches of brilliant lights frqm the I bridges, and away in the distance other I ferry boats and launches, all reflected in the slow shimmering waters of the old Ohio, and as if to complete the effect i somewhere near by a band is playing beautiful music. * * * Deer Park, Md., Aug. 31. We are now in the dizzy whirl of gay society at this fashionables ummer’resort. I wish I could describe the beauty of the grounds. To begin with we are 2,700 feet high. The hotel consists of three mammoth buildings all connected with covered pavillions, while for acres I was going to say miles the beautiful ro ng grounds, shaded with natural forest trees are dotted with cottages. Ihe grounds of Deer Park extend to Mountain Lake Park, the Chautauqua , assembly grounds. We have promised

ourselves the luxury of a drive over there in the morning. Fronting the hotel across the valley is a long high range of mountains while down in the valley between, the familiar B. A O. train's come steaming in just as commonplace as if they were in the flat lands at Walkerton instead of on the “crest of the Alleghanies." FromW heeling to Deer Park we rode with conductor S. Riley who took much pains to point out to us the interesting places. Although from Wheeling all along we had been seeing rather high hills the first mountain was not passed until this side of Grafton. For miles the B. AO. track follows the Cheat river, and here is some of the finest scenery of our route. One point was particularly interesting from its historical interest. Across this ' river from Cheat mountain is a trestle so high that we looked away down at the । tops of high forest trees under us. Dur

ing the war the Union troops kept heavy artillery upon this mounnain to protect this trestle from being destroyed by the rebels, who would have thus shut off our supplies over this route to the I nion armies. . I Conductor Riley has been on tins । ■ route since 1855 ami so was a witness to । I. all these stirring scenes and carried many of our “bovs in blue" to the scene of I action. He told us how the Cheat river was named. Along this iioint is the ! Black Fork of the Cheat, the water be ‘ ing a kind of dark color which makes it ■ look^ballower than it is, and so would cheat the Indians in wading across ana i before knew it they would be in \Vo are ..g tuv eG’uing in i'A'J j large reception room of the central hotel building. An orchestra is discoursing |M>i>ular music. The mountain air outside is chilly And a tire is blazing in the huge tire place. Some of the ladies ara in evening dress but the most refined appearing, and I imagine the wealthier ones, dress more quietly. It strikes me that those who put on such fine clothes ! here in so public a place when the occaaion diHJe not really demand it, are those who never have had any other place or opportunity to wear them and I their manners continued this opinion. ♦ * Wednesday Mormxg. How cool it ii up here. They have turned on the steam heat in the dining room and it is pleas ant on the sunny side of the veranda, j Last evening we went up towards the I fireplace to get warm and a very pleas I ant Baltimore lady of the old school I I courteously made room for us to sit be i side her. She said "The aiah is always ■ ! delightful heah, the nights aah always cool but the wesoaht is not what it used I Ito be yeahs ago. X’ewy few people come j heah now to what they used to. I have j seen these wooms crowded. And then she went on in tbat sweet southern ac cent so musical when natural, and rich | low voice to tell us how for years she i has spent her summers here but that tbe I young fashionable crowds have fallen off and gone elsewhers and we had noticed that a large proportion of the guests are quite elderly people. When she found that we wore from Indiana she went on to say that she had a very dear friend in Indiana, Mrs Hendricks, whom she knew ; away buck in the old days when the vice president was only a land commi-sionei W Endi iv
