HOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle or common water glass
with urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours ; a sediment or settling indi
cates a diseased condition of the
kidneys. When urine stains linen it
is positive evidence of kidney trouble.
The frequent desire to urinate or pain
in the back, is also convincing proof
that the kidneys and bladder are out
of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. It
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to
urinate. The mild and the extraordi
nary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It 6tands the highest for its
wonuerful cures of the most distress
ing cases. If you need a medicine
you should have the best. Sold by
druggists price fifty cents and one

Prospects of the Bill to Collect In
terest on State Deposits.
NEW BILL GOVERNING RAILBOADS
Corporations Heretofore Exempt Mint
Ituport to the State Rattroad Btirvau.
The Pool Rnctn BUI Destined to De
featAn Investigating IcKtnlntnr.
(Special Correspondence.)
Harrisburs:. April' 17. The bill to
compel the payment ot interest on
state deposits has Riven the members
of both houses considerable concern,
but the house has passed the bill al
most unanimously. It Is realised that
it defeat means the development, of
great Indignation among- the people.
There Is a disposition manifested In
the senate to amend It so as to restrict
tho number of depositories and limit
them to thev cities. This will raise a
howl throughout the country districts.
The country members feel that coun
try banks have certainly a right to
their share of the state funds If they
can give the necessary bond. There
seems to be an Influence at work, how
ever, to prevent this bill from being
enacted Into a law. It will be very
mpolitlc for those who oppose it, as
there seems to be T10 question that the
people are so concerned In. A bill
which has been suggested of naming
six banks will by no means be satis
factory to the people, because this
would have a tendency to ooncetration,
which is too much the case under pres
ent conditions.
The passage of the Hamilton road
bill on second reading In the house by
a good majority shows the strength
the supporters of this measure have,
and that It is certain to become a law
as far as the house Is concerned Is
already assured. This bill provoked
more wrangling than any that has
come before this body in years. Every
section was attacked, atfu an effort
made to amend In such a way as to
make the bill of no value whatever,
but these were voted down, and with
comparatively few changes the bill
was passed. Several members who
were so bitter against this bill have
been antagonistic to a number that
have come before the house this ses
sion, and have Just awakened to the
realization that they have measures
they are very anxious to have enacted
Into laws, and that their course will
have a tendency to give them no little
trouble when they come to pass upon
their measures. It is thought this in
fluence is so marked that it will have a
bearing on the passage of the road bill
with a good sized majority, as well as
others they have been antagonistic to.
Nowhere Is selfishness so despised and
condemned as in a body of lawmakers.
This was very manifest while the
Hamilton road bill was under discus
sion.
The New Railroad Bill.
The governor has approved of the
new railroad bill which requires cor
porations to report to the bureau of
railroads. This is a measure of very
great importance. It requires all rail
roads, canals, telegraph and telephone
companies doing business in or partly
in Pennsylvania, or whether foreign
corporations owning, leasing or con
trolling railroads in the common
wealth, to report to this department
of the state. This new law brings the
Baltimore and Ohio, the New York.
Central and Hudson River railroads
and the New Jersey Central under the
control of the secretary of Internal af
fairs. The time of reporting is changed
to June SO, instead of May SI. as here
tofore.
Among the bills passed finally was
the state fish commission bill amend
ing the act of May 4, 1889, to extend
the period of limitation of liens for tax
es entered of record for three years;
authorizing the county commissioners
to rebuild bridges on sites owned by
corporations over streams or rivers
forming the boundary lines between
counties where they have been destroy
ed by ice, flood or otherwise which may
have been abandoned by the own
ers, and rebuild on another site, which
bridges were used for vehicles or foot
purposes exclusively, and provide for
the cost of their construction; allowing
licensed dealers and their employes
to give testimony in cases relating to
the furnishing of Intoxicating liquors
to minors; authorising state banks to
pay interest on demand deposits; per
mitting school directors the authority
to grant the use of publlclchool houses
for Babbath school or religious services
for the preservation of forests, and
partially relieving forest lands from
taxes; to prevent the adulteration, at
teratlon and substitution of drugs and
medicinal preparations, and to pro
hibit the adulteration or coloring of
milk by the addition of so-ealled pre
sertralines or coloring matters.
The obnoxious pool racing bill, which
licenses pool selling, and which Is an
effort to transfer the Iniquities that In
tested New Jersey for several years to
this state, has passed the senate, and
the members of that body who favored
its passage are somewhat concerned
as to how they are to explain to their
constituents their reasons for aiding
in its being put through. It is being
pushed along by its friends in the
house, but if the temper of the house
continues aa has been characteristic
during the session the bill Is destined
to meet with overwhelming defeat. It
would be-a disgrace to the state of
Pennsylvania to have such a law
placed upon the statutes. All the
friends of morality and law and order
should protest earnestly against its
passage.
An Exoellent Measure Defeated.
A very excellent and Important bill
met with defeat recently, and surely It
was a mistake In the opponents of this
measure. Thls was introduced by Mr.
Baldwin, of Delaware, who champion
ed its passage ably and forcibly. The
bill provides that all policies of life in
surance shall contain in plain figures
the guaranteed amounts of the cash
value of each policy at the end of each
year, and that the policy shall- become
a paid up pellcy for the amount that
BLOOMSBURG, PA.
the reserve would purchase on the
lapse of the third future premium;
and It further provides that upon any
anniversary of a policy, or within ao
days thereafter, the holders shall have
the right to demand and receive me
amount of the reserve in cash. This
measure, had It become a law, would
have confined Insurance companies to
the payment of certain sums at the
end of eu'ch year in the event of a
lapse of any policy, and prevented In
surance agents from misleading policy
holders In their estimate ot the cash
value of policies each year In the
event of a lapse. The house of repre
sentatives has certainly committed a
great error In defeating the passage of
this bill.
There are Insurance bills that have
been Introduced that are deserving of
defeat, however, and the one to enable
trust companies to transact insurance
Is one of them. There should be an
end put to the attempt to clothe cor
porations with power to do an omnibus
business, and which are Intended to
confer enormous powers and wholesale
franchises upon large concerns in this
state. Although there have been
amendments made to this bill to meet
the various objections. It la now Ident
ically the same as originally Intended.
It would require the most powerful
X-ray to discover any essential dif
ference in the measure as amended
from that first Introduced. The ver
biage has been very artfully changed,
and on the whole there Is a distinction
without a difference.
The passage of the libel law In the
senate without a single dissenting vote
Is an evidence that It has been carefully
and judiciously framed, and its pro
visions are such as to commend them
to all fair minded men. This act on the
part of the senate shows that at least
a portion of our lawmakers are mani
festing a disposition to be fair and
rational. The bill in its present shape,
and as passed by the senate, while
fortifying the security of the public,
when It is needed, gives protection
to journalism at such points as cannot
fall to be recognized -as altogether fair
and reasonable. It Is to be hoped the
house will be disposed to extend fair
ness and justice and accept the bill as
passed by the senate, and also pass
it Anally.
An InveHttgatlnat L.ejcloli'tnro.
The present legislature will be noted
for Its many Investigations. The ap
pointment of Senators Oobln, Durham
and Hardenberg by the senate to In
vestigate the charges that $50,000 had
been raised to defeat the bill to abolish
child Insurance In the state is an evi
dence that there Is a disposition In
this body to clear them of the charges
made against them. Speaker Boyer
has not appointed a house committee
to investigate this scandal. This body
is becoming tired of .investigation, and
not likely to take any notice of It.
Those who have been on the floor of
the house er senate know very well
that there Is no truth In these charges.
Lobbyists of any kind are conspic
uously absent from the city. The in
dependent spirit that prevails on the
various questions submitted leaves
them without any Influence to effect
special legislation at this session. The
legislature, however, has complied with
the request of the Inspectors of the
Eastern penitentiary for an Investiga
tion of their Institution, and the exam
ination into the affairs of this Institu
tion will be acted upon promptly, In
order to have the report ready by May
6. This is quick work, but it is thought
It can be accomplished properly in that
time.
Hon. A. Louden Snowden, ex-minis
ter to Greece, Bervla and Roumanla,
lectured In the house of representatives
recently. His subject was the war be
tween Greece and Turkey. The elo
quent diplomat described the causes
which have led up to the present con
flict. His description of the patriot
Ism ef the Inhabitants of Greece, and
their eagerness to take up arms against
a power that was Instrumental in the
massacre of 100,000 persons, was so Im
pressive that It put a blush ot shame
on his hearers to think that at the
same time the Christian nations stood
as sentinels . around the infamous
Turk. Mr. Snowden said all these dia
bolical acts were allowed in order to
satisfy a spirit of selfishness, fear.
jealousy and the greed of power for a
few of the surrounding nations. The
subject was handled In a most able
manner.
Able Women Advocates.
The superior arguments put forth
by a delegation representing the Wom
an's Suffrage association of Pennsyl
vanla, who held a meeting recently In
the hall of the house of representatives.
and the excellent Impression they made
will no doubt be greatly In their favor
respecting the legislation they desire.
The bill they are specially Interested
In relates to the descent and dlstrlbu
tlon of estates of Intestates. The bill
is now In the hands of the judiciary
general committee, which saw fit to
negative the measure. It has not been
acted upon by the senate. The pres
ence ot these ladles, armed with such
able argument in favor of their bill.
made a very strong Impression on the
minds of the members. Their efforts
will be repaid, as there Is a very strong
sentiment aeveiopmg that their de
mands Bhould be heeded. Their lec
turer on the subject of woman's suff
rage undoubtedly greatly Impressed
the members present with the justice
of what they are striving for, and
which, once extended to them, as they
claim, will have a tendency to uplift
the race to a higher plane of morality
and Intelligence. Their meeting was
made the more Interesting owing to
the presence of a choir of young Indian
women from the Carlisle Indian school,
who sang with excellent effect several
very choice selections.
At the last meeting of the capltol
building commission it was decided to
select six architects of reputation, who
are to receive from $500 to $1,000 each
to pay their expenses. These are to
enter into open competition in order
to assure a representation of the high
est grade of architectural talent. If
any of these win the prize the sum
paid for his preliminary studies Is to
be deducted from his commission.
These architects will name one of the
Jury of three which will decide the
prize winner. Thirteen weeRs are al
lowed architects to prepare their de
signs, and a contract for the erection
of the building will, it is thought, be
awarded about Aug. 1. There has been
no decision made In reference to the
material to be used, and the architects
will have the privilege to suggest that
: which they think is best for the work-
