HOW TO F1MD CUT.
Fill a bottle or common water class
with urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours ; a sediment or settling indi
cates a diseased cendition of the
kidneys. When urine stains linen it
is positive evidence of kidney trouble.
The frequent desire to urjnate 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 unoleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
"'"; wiiica uuiuig uic mgnt 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. Snhl h
druggists price fifty cents and one
dollar. For a sample bottle and
pamphlet, both sent free by mail,
mention The Columbian and send
your full post-office address to Dr.
Kilmer & Co, Binghamton, N. Y.

NOTES FROM CHICAGO
RETURNING DELEGATES MAKE THE
CITY A VISIT.
Tha FndcTorrm' Great Convention Ef
fects of the Coal Miners Strike Itrlng
Felt Great Scheme of Railroad lin
proTement Now Hatching.
The International Christian Endeav
or convention of 1897 Is a thing of the
past, but It has been a event which
will lone be remembered. Even
though located on the Pacific coast it
attracted a large attendance and thou
sands of the delegates are now traver
sing the country and visiting places
of interest. Chicago has been especial
ly fortunate in entertaining not only
a large number of these delegates but
hundreds of others who availed them
selves of the low rates of travel. It
may be said of the convention this
year, that it lacked nothing la inter-eat
and although the closing sessions were
not quite so well attended as the oth
ers, still there were packed houses and
the enthusiasm was as great as at any
time. There was praise for the Com
mlttee of 1897, gratification at the re
ception all had received at the hands
of California In general, and San Fran
cisco in particular, and thankfulness
for the perfect weather which has
blessed the entire meeting.
The effects of the great miners'
strike are being felt all over the cen
tral West, and at no point Is the
Influence uf the strike more marked
than In Chicago. It has been asserted
by the leaders of the strike, that the
obstinacy of one man alone prevented
an early settlement by arbitration. Mr.
De Armltt met the representatives of
the miners from five States and de
clared to them that he would not con
elder the question of arbitrating the
rates of coal mining unless 97 per cent,
of all the mine owners In the Pitts
burg district would consent to sign an
De Armltt, Who Stands Between
Ai-Ditratlon ana Conflict,
agreement binding themselves by
heavy money forfeitures to a system
of honest weighing, uniform screening,
and cash payments.
But the miners assert that the trou
ble with Mr. De Armltt is that he Is not
honest. The coal operators of this dis
trict are emphatic in their expressions
of opinion that the proposal to settle
the great coal strike on President De
Armitt's plan is wholly impracticable.
Some of them are frank enough to say
that they consider it an adroit move
of De Armitt to shift some of the re
sponsibility for a continuation of the
strike onto his competitors' shoulders.
One of the largest operators said:
"President De Armitt is simply open
ing up an old controversy that was set
tled long ago to the satisfaction of ev
erybody but himself. Fully 97 per
cent, of the coal operators In this dis
trict agreed to accept his terms of "true
uniformity,' but when the time arriv
ed for us to sum up the percentage of
signers we found that he insisted upon
bringing In the names of certain firms
and insisting upon their indorsement
of the scheme, when, as a matter of
fact, they had never been considered
a portion of this district. Arbitration
has failed, and everybody knows why.
This strike must now be fought out to
the bitter end."
Rail coal sold for $1.80 per ton the
other day and was hard to get at that.
Before the strike it could be purchased
at seventy cents. River coal still sold
at iour cents per bushel, an advance
of one cent. The only source of sup
ply for markets outside Pittsburg is
the river. The Pennsylvania Railroad
Company has confiscated for its own
use all the coal ready for shipment
along Us lines. With the exception of
permuting the ratl.-uaU operators till
ing oroers for coaling vessels at the
lake ports, no coal from mines on the
Pennsylvania Railroad Is allowed to
leave the district. With the supply
limited to the Monongahela district the
prospect of famine la declared to be a
certainty. The railroad company's or
der is of great assistance to the cause
of the miners.
In the Wtst Virginia district the out
look Is very encouraging. The visible
6iipply at present will not exceed ten
million bushels, and this will not be
gin to meet the needs of the Pittsburg
market for more than three weeks at
the longest. The entire supply is con
fined to the Monongahela district. The
statement that there is a supply suffi
cient to meet all demands is rot. The
operators were caught napping, with
no prospect of replenishing It. With
the exception of one or two operators
In the Monongahela district, no slnglo
operator has more than a half million
bushels of coal on hand. Under these
conditions a famine of general extent
Is sure to result, and coal may reach
fabulous prices.
It Is whispered here In railroad cir
cles that the greatest system of rail
road Improvement ever undertaken in
the world is soon to be Inaugurated.
This is nothing less than the re-equipment
of several of the largest roads
centering at Chicago, and changing
the motive power from steam to elec
tricity. The recent remarkably suc
cessful experiment with electricity in
troduced by the third rail system, has
started the rumors of an enormous ex
penditure of money for the new sys
tem. A gentleman was riding with Mr.
Edison on the Empire State Express,
not long ago, when Mr. Edison said:
"In a very short time I will compel
the Vanderbilts to use electricity in
stead of steam. The compulsion lies
in the prospect of greater speed, and
W. I
the certainty of reduced expenses. If
recent reports are true, the entire sys
tem with whloh Mr. J. Plerpont Mor
gan Is connected will soon adopt elec
tricity and send hundreds of engines
to the scrap heap. The entire system
embraces more than 25,000 mile and
Includes, of course, the New York Cen
tral, the Hartford, Erie, Philadelphia
and Heading and Northern Pacific. The
effoct of such a decision upon the stock
of the Electric Uennral company can
easily be understood when It Is stat
ed that Mr. Morgan, besides being
practically In control of the railroad
companies referred to, Is also In coiy
tnol of the Electric General company,
which will be called upon to furnish
the new equipment If all the roadr
In the Morgan system make the pro
posed change. It Is estimated that the
cost will reach 1500,000,000. The cap
ital of the Electric General Is $50,000,-
000, and with such an enormous sum
In contracts in contemplation this
stock Is keeping company with the
mercury In the thermometers.
There Is this very gratifying fact
in connection with this proposed
change. It will greatly Improve the
industrial situation, by furnishing remunerative-employment
to thousands
who are distressingly in need of it.
CECIL RHODES RAID.
The I'nrllnmclitnrjr Committee Mahri lti
Report.
Parliamentary committees work with
great deliberation, as Is shown by the
fact that the report of the committee
charged with investigating the fam
ous Transvaal raid has but just been
presented to the British Parliament.
The report is somewhat of a surprise.
It expresses an emphatic opinion that
whatever Justihcatlon there might have
been for action on the part of the peo
ple of Johannesburg, there was none
whatever for Cecil Rhodes's conduct
In subsidizing, organizing and stimu
lating an armed insurrection against
the government of the Transvaal. Al
though the report admits that at the
last moment Dr. Jameson Invaded the
Transvaal wKhout the direct sanction
of Rhodes, it fixes upon him a heavy
responsibility for the raid and the
gravity of Rhodes transacton is
weightily expressed by the committee.
it declares mat he "seriously embar
rassed both the Imperial and Colonial
Governments; that his proceedngs re
sulted in an astonishing breach of in
ternational comity; that he utilized his
position and the groat Interests he con
trolled In order to assist and support
revolution , and deceived the High
commissioner its well as concealing
nis views trom tne members of the Co
lonial Ministry and the Direotorsof the
chartered company." The raid Is con-
oemnen, nut the opinion is exnressed
that the affairs of the chartered com
pany need not be further investigated.
LrdRosmead and Mr. Chamberlain,
and the under-secieatrles of the Co
lonial Office, are held blameless, on
tno ground that there is no evidence
mat any of them was In any sense cog
nizant 01 me plans for the raid. Sir
Graham Bower, Imperial Secretary of
the High Commissioner, is guilty of a
grave dereliction of duty because he
railed to decline to receive from Cecil
Knoaes confidential communications
wholly Incompatible with the duty he
owneo tne nigh Commissioner.

A Cold Church.
A good Btory Is told of Rev. Had.
ley Proctor, who once preached in Rut
land, Vt. One bitter cold day, when
the church was but half warmed.
Brother Proctor had for his text a very
warm verse, addressed to those on the
left haud; and, like the rest of us, he
seemed to feel the antagonism between
the weather and his subject. Just be
fore the benediction, he leaned for
ward and said to one of the deacons la
front of the pulpit, in tones loud
enough to be heard by all, and in tho
nasal twang that can only be appreci
ated by those who have listened to the
venerable lill Jones:
"Urother Griggs, do see that this
house is better warmed this afternoon

It s no kind of use for me to warn
