DURRANT'S HEW LEASE OF LIFE-
His Hanging Indefinitely Postponed by the
Court.
W. H. T. Durrant, the condemned
murderer of Minnie Williams, and pre
sumably of Blanche Lamont, at Sacra
mento, Cal., who was Thursday,
sentenced to be hanged Friday, has
secured another respite from the
gallows.
The Supreme Court has granted a
writ of probable cause and Warden
Hale, has been instructed not to
hang Durrant until further orders from
the Court. All the Judges concurred.
OME 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 ot
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, theiefore 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 Columbian
and send your address to Dr. Kilmer
& Co , Binghamton, N. Y. The pro
prietors of this paper guarantee the
genuineness of this offer.
A TINE OALF.
A fine bull calf from the Guernsey
herd of Dr. J. P. Welsh at Orangeville,
was shipped last week, to Youngstown,
Uhio, via Adams Express. This calf
is only abotit 4J mos. old, but in ap
pearance was more like one six or

bred. His dam is a young cow

" To produce a superior and profit

cows from only one year's produce of
a good dairy bull.
Supposing that you milk these
cows ten years, you have a grand
profit of $360 on the investment of
$40 to $50. How a dairyman can
say he cannot afford to use a good
bull is beyond my comprehension.
It is a fact that dairying has be
come the foremost and most profitable
industry for the farmer. No other
branch of his business has, for a num
ber of years, given him so good re
turns, and yet in no other branch
does the average farmer show so
much neglect as in the breeding and
raising of his dairy stock.
Little or no thought is given as to
the proper selection of a dairy bull.
In many instances any bull at all is
used, no matter how ill-bred ot
scrubby he is, or how inferior individ
ually, as long as he can be had for
little or no service fee. Others use
sires of true beef type and breeding.
Would a breeder of trotting horses
ever think of using a draft sire to pro
duce trotters, or a breeder of draft
horses use a trotting-bred sire to pro
duce heavy horses? I think not;
they breed for their special purpose.
How, then, can the dairyman ever
think of obtaining the best results
under the manner m which he fre
quently pursues his calling? When
dairying can be made to pay under
such circumstances, what would the
possibilities be if intelligent use were
made of the material within the reach
of all ?"
Well Pleased.
The following letter has been
received from the purchaser of the
calf shipped from Dr. Welsh's farm
last week. The' purchaser is a promi

Paris, Nov. 16. Dr. Thomas W.
Evans, the famous American dentist,
who assisted ln the escape of ex-Em-tress
Eugenie, died here Sunday night.
Dr. Evans was born In Philadelphia
bont seventy-five years ago, and went
to Paris in ISiC, where he won a great
reputation. lie attended Napoleon III.
md many other royalties. His fortune
was estimated at from twenty-five to
thirty-five million dollars.
The secret of Dr. Evans' success as
1 dentist may be said to be due to the
fact that he was practically the first
person to introduce gold tilling for
teeth Into Europe.
One of his first customers was the
Duchesae de Rochefoucauld, one of
the most prominent ladles in Paris,
and she was go satisfied with his work
that she spread his fame throughout
Paris, and from there to every capital
'jf Europe.
The French Emperor, Napoleon III.,
vas one of Dr. Evans' best friends, as
well as best patients. He was thor
oughly trusted by every one at court.
Many of the improvements under
taken by Raron Haussmann, which
made Paris the pleasure capital of the
world, are said to have been under
taken by the advice of Dr. Evans.
