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 stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distress ing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best.

The Seiwtoa Maybe Extended Beyond tho Date Ant-cod I'pon. In Order to Provide for the Charitable Instlta ttonn The Taxation of Aliens. (Special Correspondence.) Harrlsburg, June 15. Senator Quay la coming- here this week to help the legislature out of the revenue dilemma. Me conferred with prominent members of the senate and house at the resi dence of Senator Penrose In Philadel phia on Friday night, and will continue the conference in this city In a day or two. He will also have a talk with Governor Hastings, who has been made aware of his views by Representative William Marshall, . chairman of the house committee on appropriations, who went to Washington on Thurs day for the purpose of giving Senator Quay an inside view of the state' financial situation. State Treasurer Haywood and Auditor General Mylln were both present at the Philadelphia conference, and went over the esti mates of receipts and expenditures carefully, with a view to discovering how to economize without crippling any of the state institutions. One of the cuts will be In the contingent funds, which have been made to do duty for all sorts of appropriations. There will be no unnecessary grants of money. All bills appropriating money will be care fully pruned by Mr. Marshall's com mittee, but the charitable institutions of the state will be better satisfied with half the sums they have asked than no aid at all. When it waa decided by the legisla ture to adjourn finally on July 1, and it became apparent that the revenue was insufficient to meet the ordinary demands of the state government and the various state and charitable In stitutions, the lawmakers were flooded with telegrams and letters from their Indignant constituents demanding that hospitals and homes for the poor and friendless would not be left pen niless. The final adjournment resolu tion was put through in a tiff by the house, having been offered In the sen ate by Senator Meredith as a bluff to maka the house work. Speaker Boyer was present In the senate at the time, and, returning to the house, he had that body speedily concur in the action of the senate. Up to that time It was the general opinion that the legislature would remain in session un til the middle of July. This sudden change of front Interfered with the plans of the leaders, and the announce ment that all appropriation bills, ex cept those for the ordinary expenses of the state government and penal and reformatory institutions, would be dropped, alarmed the charitable In stitutions throughout the state to such a degree that a general protest went up, and the agreement to extend the session a week or two beyond the first of July was the result. It is believed now that the revenue measures will be put through without delay, and all appropriations will be scaled down so as to come within the estimated re ceipts for the next two years. Economy Must be tho Itule. Governor Hasting, in his message to the legislature In January, clearly set forth the condition of the revenues, and warned the lawmakers that it would be necessary to exercise strict economy in order to prevent embar rassment of the state treasury. This statement has been verified by recent figures, and, responding to a resolu tion of the senate calling upon the gov ernor to suggest suitable subjects for taxation, he said that the present was no time to increase the burdens of the people; it Is rather a time to lessen their burdens by reducing the expendi tures. He concluded his communica tion in these words: "At this time, when almost all Industries are suffer ing, when trade Is stagnant, and when willing labor can find no employment, economy in the expenditure of public monies should control the general as sembly In Its appropriations, and will certainly control the executive in the consideration of all such measures." Governor Hastings has not changed his views as expressed in his communi cation to the senate, but it Is believed now that he will agree to help those who favor an extension of the session a few dayV In order to secure money, by some reasonable Increase of taxa tion, for the charitable institutions. He feels, as do all others who have considered the question, that it would be almost criminal to deprive the hos pitals and various charitable institu tions of the state aid to which they have looked forward since the opening of the session. The proposition to pro long the session beyond the 1st of July Is contingent upon the inability of the senate and house to complete their labors by that time. Some of tho leaders in the legislature still believe that it will be possible to get through with the Important work and adjourn finally on that date. No appropriation bills have yet been reported from the committee, and in view of the fact that they must be scaled down to come within the rev enues, the labors of these committees will be very arduous. The majority In the legislature realize that an adjourn ment without the passage of revenue and appropriation bills will result dis astrously for the party In power and seriously handicap the Republicans In the campaign this year. State Treasurer Haywood has gen erously assumed the responsibility of paying the state employes until the general appropriation bill Is passed and signed. The fiscal year of the com monwealth ended on May 81, and as there waa no appropriation for the salaries of state officers and clerks they will have to depend upon the good offices of the state treasurer until the legislature passes the general appro priation bill. The Taxation of Allen. An important bill, approved by the governor, provides for the payment of taxes by alien. It requires that all corporations, associations, companies, firms or Individuals employing persons who are not citizens of the United States shall, upon the receipt of a writ ten notice from the tax collector of the district, deduct from the wages of such employe a sum sufficient to pay the respective amounts of taxfs assessed against each, and pay It to the collectors of the districts In which laid aliens are employed. Another bill Is almost through the legislature pro viding for the return of alien pauper lo the state or country from which they came. The leglslathfc Insurance acandal I still t lively matter of Interest. An other meeting of the Investigating com mittee was held a few days ago, but the most Important witness was not present, and It was decided to ad journ until this afternoon. Frank H. Leonard, of New York, Is the missing witness. He Is said to be tha person who knows all about the allegM propo sition of certain senators to defeat the child Insurance bill for $50,000. Governor Hastings has approved the bill to prevent the wearing of any badge or button of any labor or fra ternal organization without the right to do so by membership. The act pro vides that any person doing so shall be subject to a fine of $100. According to the estimates of the state's accounting officers, It will be necessary to raise about $4,000,000 in addition to the present revenues to wipe out the deficiency and take care of the ordinary demands upon the treasury. A bill which Is being watched by those who appreciate its dangerous character Is one permitting the dam ming of the Delaware river. Such a bill has passed the legislature of New Jersey and been approved by Governor Griggs. If the lawmakers of this state pass this bill it is the purpose of cer tain capitalists to build a dam across the Delaware river at Trenton, for the purpose of furnishing power for a great electric plant. The senate has defeated the Clarency bill defining local mutual savings funds, building and loan associations. This measure was Intended to open the way for an attack upon all build ing and loan associations not purely local affairs, but the influence against it was sufficient to knock it out. Proponed Tax on Oleo Will Fall. There is a proposition to tax oleo margarine for the purpose of raising more revenue, but there will be a big fight in the legislature before such a bill can' get through. Already an or ganization has been perfected in the house to oppose any bill of this kind. Representative Young, of Tioga coun ty, is the leader of the new movement. A steering committee has been ap pointed, comprising 15 leading mem bers of the house, without regard to party or faction. It is contended by the opponents of such a tax that a law of this kind would legalize the sale of oleomargerine, and be In the interests of the manufacturers of Imitation but ter. It Is argued that the revenue de rived by the commonwealth from this source will very materially relieve the depleted condition of the state finances, and that no harm can come through such a license tax to any Industry of the state. Professor Hamilton takes the opposite view. He says the late census gives the number of dairy cat tle in Pennsylvania at 927,254, and the amount of butter manufactured from these dairy cows in that year at 78, 809,041 pounds. The amount of cheese is given at 439,060 pounds, and the milk products at 368,906,482 gallons. If the ratio of increase has been as great from 188'J to 1897 as it was between 1879 and 1889 a fair estimate of the number of cows at the present time In Pennsylvania is about 1,100,000 and the number of pounds of butter manu factured about 90,000,000 pounds, and the milk produced about 437,525,349 gallons. These cow are distributed among 211,412 farmers' families, con sisting of 1,060,026 persons, or one-fifth of the entire population of the state. He says the Income of butter alone to Pennsylvania last year amounted to between $16,000,000 and $18,000,000, and the milk product at 8 cents a gallon amounted to $25,000,000. It Is also argued that the low price of oleomar garine would ruin the dairy business, and that the legalizing of the sale of oleomargerine would result In a great loss of revenue In the end. It Is almost certain that the oleomargerine propo sition will fall. Hamilton Road Bill Hangs Fire. The Hamilton road bill is still hang ing in the air, and whether it will ever become a law at this session is doubtful. Only the Influence of the state administration has put the bill in its advanced position. Many of the farmers nre opposed to It, and their representatives In the legislature have adopted all parliamentary tactics to defeat the measure. Falling in their efforts, a proviso was inserted by the house requiring the legislature to ap propriate $1,000,000 for the Improve ment of highways before the new law goes Into effect. When It reached the senate this amount waa cut in half. Returning to the house for concur rence that body refused to accept the senate amendment and asked for a committee of conference. This has been appointed, and it remains now to be seen whether the committee will be able to put the bill In such shape 'as to make It acceptable to both bodies. The codification of the fiBh raws and the repeal ofmany acts which Inter fered with the propagation of fish In the streams of the state will have the effect of Improving the sport of fisher men, but would have been much more effective if the legislature had not in serted many things which the stute fish commission did not desire inserted. A bill Is going through the legisla ture Imposing a tax ot $1 on bicycles and pleasure carriages and $3 on trac tion engines. Several rural members object to the tax on pleasure carriages and traction engines, but they have no objection to the whee'.men paying the freight. Representative Focht. of Union county, thinks that tho only way out of the revenue muddle is to pass the Bliss bill adding one mill to all present subjects of taxation. This will be vio lently opposed by the corporations. Before the end of the week the ruins of the old state capitol will have dis appeared. The contractor had 35 days In which to complete this work, but he ha made such rapid progress that .those who predicted he would lose money are now seeing their mistake. Btacktolk. THE BROADWAY OH!
