OH II OF TWO WAYS.
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 lm-
I perfect action of the kidneys. The
i second way is from careless local treat-
1 mem ci oiner 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. At druggists fifty cents and
one dollar. You may have a sample
bottle and pamphlet, both sent free
by mail. Mention The Columman
and send your address to Dr. Kilmer
& Co., Binghamton, N. Y. The pro
prietors of this paper guarantee the
genuineness of this offer.

caret, candy catharic, cure guaranteed,

ESPI'S LATEST.
Hallow'een, while celebrated in its
usual noisy manner in this place, pass
ed off very smoothly, inasmuch as very
few serious depredations were com
mitted. An early morning observer
on our streets, ho vever, might have
noticed, here and there, a buggy turn
ed upside down, or somebody's fence
minus a gate, and not a few foot rugs,
&c, swinging gently to the wind on
nearby trees. Some of our business
places had apparently changed their
locations during the nicht. and an un
lucky bicycle rider with a fractured
wheel, would likely have stopped at
Miss Packs' ice cream parlors for re
pairs, as a sign belonging to S. K.
Worman, hanging upon the outside.
stated that "Vulcanizing and General
K.epair Work" might be had here.
The oyster sign of H. C. Waples had
also taken a journey, and when last
seen was standing in front of the home
of Arthur Hartman. Several young
men chancing to see the sign next
day, developed a sudden appetite for
oysters, and were much disappointed
when inquiring at the latter place, to
find that they were entirely out and
would not have anv in for several
days.

A very pleasant Hallow'een party
was held last Saturday eve at the home
of one of our prominent townsmen,
and although we were'nt there, we
ave it upon the authority of Mt.
Harry Campbell, our genial and oblig-
ng scnooi teacner, tiiat the allair was
credit to the instigators, inasmuch
as the decorations throughout the dif
ferent rooms were fine, the delica
cies very tasteful, and the amusements '
plenteous. There was a brilliant as
semblage of Espy's "social lights" pres
ent, and everything passed off in true
Halloween style. Harrv. however.
ells us that while he had a good time,
11 was not peaches and cream with
im, as the concluding part of the
program which he had mapped out
entirely for his own recreation, was
unceremoniously nipped in the bud.for
just as he was singing "You're not so
many, and I m the only pebble, &c,"
some ambitious youth stepped in and
walked off with his fondest hooes.
Harry told us himself, and as we have
no authority to doubt his veracity, it
must be so. Hard luck, "Cam" old
bov.
Dr. E. A. Smith of Millersburg. and

Sloyer wedding at Berwick last week.
Wedding invitations have been fly
ing wick and last in our midst lately,
and strange to say, nevertheless 'tis
irue, uerwicn seems to play the star
part in our matrimonial drama. We
now mourn the loss of no less than
four of our young men, and all have
recently been enticed away by Ber
wick belles. Boys, go to Berwick !
