A Historical Month- This is one of the historical months in the American calender. In it were fought the battles of Saratoga and Germantown.

The bladder was created for one purpose, namely, a receptacle for the urine, and as such it is not liable to any form of disease except by one of two ways. The first way is from im perfect action of the kidneys. The second way is from careless local treat ment cf other diseases. CHIEF CAUSE. Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys is the chief cause of bladder troubles. So the womb, like the blad der, was created for one purpose, and if not doctored too much is not liable to weakness or diseases, except in rare cases. It is situated back of and very close to the bladder, therefore any pain, disease or inconvenience mani fested 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 as 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 ex traordinary 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.

The jury in the case of Walter Goodwin, at V.'e'lsboro, Pa., charged with the murder of his wife reached a verdict of murder in the first degree, after being out for three hours and a quarter. The prisoner was very nervy up to the last, never showing any signs of flinching when the verdict was read. The trial began September 28. The story of the crime for which Goodwin will have to die is as follows: "A little over a year ago Goodwin was arrested on complaint of a Miss Copcly, vho charged him with being responsible for her condition. He married her and took her to his father's home to live. A child was born, but the mother was not allowed to see it, and it is alleged she told her friends that it was foully dealt with. Soon after this the young man de serted his tfife. She worked in Mans field, a few miles from Wellsboro, and at last had her husband arrested for non-support. Goodwin went on the night of September 3 to see his wife and induce her to withdraw the charge. She told the family with whom she lived that she was to meet her hus band, and went out. The following day she was found dying by the road side with four bullets in her head. She died the next day. A Miss Taylor, with whom Good win had been friendly, confessed to the officials that she accompanied Goodwin the night of the tragedy and held his horse some distance away, but near enough to hear shots fired. Miss Taylor savs Goodwin subse quently told her that he had shot . his wife. STRAY PARAGRAPHS- Beautiful weather. The father of trees the papaw. All one-armed persons are not short hand writers.

He asked her in the gloam, As to his face her lovely eyes In ecstacy did roam, "I love the pansies best," she said, "Because can you not guess?" "Because," he said, "like you my dear, They are so nice to press." Columbia County lair. Bloomsburg, Pa., October 13 to 16.

The law passed by the last state legislature, and which went into effect on August 23, regulating the scale of certain kinds of cheese, known as fill ed cheese, may cause trouble unlgss j .1 1 11 grocers ana omers wno sell it are careful. Some time ago fifteen sam ples were selected in as many grocery stores in Harrisburg, but of these only six were labeled according to law. Every seller who does not comply with the law is subject to a fine. The standard required for full cream cheese is thirty-two percent, of butter fat. Only two of the fifteen samples came up to that test. There is no disposition on the part of the agricul tural department to prosecute or un necessarily harass dealers, but it is sending out these notes of warning that they may guard themselves against the neglect or the frauds of the manufacturers.
