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 of 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 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.

GOLDEN WEDDING- That was a happy day last Satur day, Feb. ig, 1898, when Mr. and Mrs. William of Espy, Pa., were permitted, through the mercy of God, to enjoy their fiftieth wedding anniversary. A day looked upon with great ex pectancy for some time past and when it dawned upon them life had not be come weary, nor the home dissipated, but sweet memories of youth seemed to cluster about them and the pleas ant smiles upon their faces reminded the honored guest that youth had re turned and all disappointments, sor rows, and cares of life had been for gotten through the joy of the hour. Though fifty years have passed since they became one, of all these none had its golden day but the year 1898. One could not help but congratulate them and enjoy their company. It seemed difficult to convince them that fifty years of wedded life had gone, because sorrow, mingled with joy, had so endeared themselves to each other, that these years seemed but days. Their spirit of philanthropy, zeal for the cause of right, their willingness to suffer and work for the church of God in the sun-set of life, reminded one that life to them had become a real pleasure instead ot a burden. Truly they can be happy, for few, indeed, are granted a privilege like that. At one o'clock p. m. the happy company of invited guests encircled their table, with them, which was 'adened with rich gifts. All ate heart ily, as they knew this would be the last of its kind in this home. After food for the body had been enjoyed, the afternoon was spent in <a profitable manner. The day in this happy home will not soon be forgot ten. Many were the gifts as well as the congratulations given to these aged pilgrims. May their days on earth be many and their sun set without a cloud. Those present were : Rev. H. W. Buck, Mrs. Ellen Ward, Lewisburg, Pa. ; Rev. G. W. Currin and wife, William Robbins and wife, Clark Brown and wife, Bloomsburg, Pa. ; Charles Hartman and wife, Berwick, Pa. ; J. G. Fedder and wife, Almedia, Pa. ; Rev. Harry Minsker and wife, William Hidely and wife, David Hart man andHfjfe, Philip Angle and wife, Fred m|je and wife, Mrs. A. B. Bought(4y Mrs. Francis Grett, Mrs. E. Edgar, Mrs. Ella I.ehman, Charles Jones, Espy, Pa. "Their hearts are young as ever, now, Though fifty years have gone Since vows were made, and words were said, That of the twain made one. Their hearls are young as ever, now, That was a happy home, Where first we lit the lamp of love, Nor thought a grief could come. Their hearts are young as ever, now, God hath His blessings given, They wedded once for earthly bliss, They now are wed for heaven. Their hearts are young as ever, now, Fifty years more gone by, Their hearts will then be younger, still, There's youih for aye on high " A GUEST. COURT PROCEEDINGS- Moyer Bros. vs. J. W. Larned & Co.
