Another death has occurred from the disease at Stillwater, and the Jonestown pub lic schools have been closed by reason of it. Did you ever t to judge from the above paragraph, which appeared m your paper last week, we are in the midst of an epidemic, and should be quarantined against. Here are the plain facts of this matter : One of J. L. Runyan'8 children, and a son of Harry Fight, both near Jonestown died about two weeks ago with scarlet fever and one of Mr. Run yan's grand-children, who left there at that time, has since developed a case of scarlet rash. Not as the Still water correspondent to the Blooms burg Daily had it. "Another of Jcs. Runyan's grand-children has died with diphtheria, and still another is at the point of death." The Jones town schools were closed, but on account of diphtheria at Stillwater, but to quarantine against scarlet fever; at Jonestown, and no new cases having developed the schools have again opened.

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 corrtctly, 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 Columbian and send your address to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y.

Thrnrtnre lloosevelt Homnnl 8nb Ktnntliil Increase In Onr Snvy Will I me ( ongrrm o Mnke n I.tlieral Appropriation. Washington, Nov. Consul-General FltihuRh Lee (roes back to Havana with Instructions from the President to strongly urge upon the Insurgents the acceptance of autonomy. In order to place the matter plainly before the leaders of the Insurgents In the field he Is to communicate directly with them and then to transmit their answers to the State Department. All this will take time, which the Ad- ministration is willing to grant. It la thought that the Consul-General can communicate with the Cuban leaders and get his answers to the proposition back to Washington soon after Con- gres meets, and as there Is no Inten- tlon on the part of the President to disturb existing relations before that time the plan Is to be tried. Meantime preparations heretofore be- gun will go forward to get the navy tn the best possible shape, and to prepare for actual war should that follow after pacific measures have failed. Of President McKlnley s Intention to go to the last length In urging a pa clfle settlement there Is no doubt, how ever. While he Is prepared to main tain the right of this country to Inter vene, he Is exceedingly anxious that an . actual test be applied to demonstrate j the sincerity of Spain's proffer of au tonomy and reforms. j Every effort is being made to make I the navy as complete aa possible so that In any contingency the floating fighting power of the United States may be large enough to take care of Spain or any other nation which may feel that It has a grievance. Theodore Koosevelt, Assistant Secre tary of the Navy, entertains strong views upon this point. He declares that he believes that the only efficient defense is a formidable fighting navy 1 of battleships and torpedo boats. He I will strongly urge Congress to make a liberal appropriation for the Improve- , ment of the navy this Winter. M'KINLEY DESIRES PEACE- Gfi Lof Talks of Ills Instructions Regarding Cuban Matter. New York, Nov. 9. Gen. Fltzhugh Lee, who arrived in New York Sunday night, will sail for Havana to-morrow on the Seguranca. Gen. Lee was guarded In speaking of Cuban affairs, but he referred with sat isfaction to his Interview with Presi dent McKlnley Inst Friday: "It was, of course, gratifying to me," said Gen. Lee, "to have the President tell me that my course as Consul-General met with his approval. He told me that he had received Utters from representative men of all sections In which they expressed their satisfaction at my retention in afllce. Of course I cannot say what my instructions are, except that I am to 1 ok out for the rights of American citizens. To say more would be to get myself into trouble both at Washington and ut Havana. As to President McKinley's wishes, all that I can say Is that he de sires peace." Asked aa to the effect of Gen. Blan co's appointment to succeed Gen. Wey ler. Gen. Lee said: "Of course when a commander Is re placed by another In the field it follows that the new commander Is to use a new policy. The new general would understand that, even though he re ceived no special instructions whatso ever. What Gen. Blanco's policy will be, however, I cannot say." Annexation the Cry. Havana, via Key West, Fla., Nov, 9. There Is an Increasing lack of con fidence here In the anility of Spain to establish an autonomous form of gov ernment In Cuba, and it is feared that the Spanish troops will not be able to suppress the Insurrection by force of arms. This causes a feeling of uncertainty in the future, which Increases the busi ness depression, and, on the other hand, It Increases the desire among the more level-headed of the population for the annexation of Cuba to the United States. The Government Is well aware of this, and a semi-official hint, conveyed to the annexationists tnrough the col umns of a newspaper of this city has induced them to stop their secret meet ings. The annexationists were not ac cused of contplrlng against the Gov- ernment, dui tne curious charge of 'gambllng" was made against them. Crank at the White IIoiiNe. Washington, Nov. 10. Another crank was arrested at the White Houat) yes terday. He Is about 28 or 30 years old. and called at the mansion early, say ing he wanted to go to the fourth lloor. He asked to be shown to the elevator. When told that there was no fourth floor, he made a bolt for the interior of the house, saying that the President had invited him to breakfast. He also said that the President had wronged him, and that he Intended to right him self. It was then decided to arrest the man, but he ran away. j He was finally found hidden among the greenhouses on the White House grounds, and arrested and taken to the Btatlon house. More Appointment.

A letter received here from Vienna says that the pub lished reports of the political situation In the Austrian Empire convey no ade quate Idea of the chaos prevailing. "Hadenl must go," Is the general war cry now, and his downfall Is consid ered Inevitable, regardless of the out come of the present fight between the Germans and the Czechs, The letter adds: "No one can forenee how It will end. If the Germans win there may be bloodshed in Bohemia, and If the Bo hemians are persistent the Germans will have to fight with their sharpest weapons to assert their prerogative and save the Austro-Hungarian dual ity. The danger, however, lies In the active party In the Kelchsrath, which openly declares for Prussia, and wants to see the former German provinces, uu Bohemia, handed to the Hohenzol lerns."

He had been em ployed In New Orleans by the Wash ington Life Insurance Company, of this city, but had left Its employ about a month ago. . Sharland was a stepson of Doulton, the manufacturer of the famous English chinaware which bears that name. Ate Deadly Manhruoms. Washington, Nov. 10. Col. A.
