We don't see any necessity for
exhibitions ol pride over the pos
session of a chainless bicycle.
There's nothing so very new about
them. Why, our grandmothers often
took spins on chainless wheels.
A wheel gave way on a carriage
belonging to Chester Catkins, of
Beach Haven on lower end of liast
St., Tuesday afternoon, and had to
be abandoned until a new wheel was
procured. The crash which follow
ed the smashing of the wheel,
frightened the horse, which was a
spirited animal, and he nearly got
away lrom the driver.
Parties who sweep their sidewalks
every morning would do a great
lavor lor the people who pass, if
they would sprinkle their walks
with water before sweeping, or else
wait a second or two until the ped
estrians pass by. It is not very
pleasant to be compelled to go
through n cloud of dust, and there
would be no need of it if the clerks
wuuiu iuaKe use 01 a little more
judgement and care.

The latest renorts lrom the Philin.

insurgents nave abandoned all hope
of continuing the war. A meeting of
the Filipino Congress was held at San

port a large number of those who at
tended the meeting were partisans of
Aguinaldo, all of whom expressed a
strong desire for peace.
There has been very little fighting
of late. A number of the American
transports have sailed for home. Fur

IT'S FOR WOMEN.
Business of toe Week-
The failures in April were the small
est in any month since records by
months began, 38 per cent, smaller
than in April of last year, not a third
of the amount in 1897, and not half
the amount in April of any previous
., d .1 r . 7 1
year. Both m manufacturing and in
irauing mey were tne smallest ever
known in that month, and in trading
the smallest ever known in any month,
as in manufacturing they were if the
larger failures were omitted. The ratio
of defaulted liabilities to solvent pay
ments through clearing houses was less
than 70 cts. per $i,oco, against 90
cts. in January and $1.19 in March,
$7.89 in August and $8.02 in Sep
tember, 1896. A great share of the
risk in the business world has been
eliminalcd. It is not inconsistent or strange if
business halts, because it has been
crowded to the utmost for four months
in an.icipating future needs on ac
count ot new combinations proposed.
i some cases prices have been ad
vanced so far as to check new business
and in others works have been engag
ed so far ahead that new orders can
not now be taken. Yet new business
in amount which would have been as
tonishing two years ago is still coming
forward, and the voluntary advance in
wages Dy tne sixteen .Bessemer firms
of the Central Association, and by the
nc.k coke works whose shipments in
April, ;?o,4;2 cars, were the heaviest
ever known, show confidence in the
future. At Buffalo and in Idaho
strikes are causinir trouble, but lahor
questions elsewhere do not affect gen
eral uusiness.

WOMEN SHOULD KNOW IT.
Many women suffer from untold ag
ony and misery because the nature of
their disease is not correctly under
stood. They have been led to believe
that womb trouble or female weakness
of some sort is responsible for the
many ills that beset woman-kind.
Neuralgia, nervousness, headache,
puffy or dark circles under the eyes,
rheumatism a dragging pain or dull
ache in the back, weakness or bearing
down sensation, profuse or scanto sup
ply of urine with strong odor, frequent
desire to pass it with scalding or burn
ing sensation, sediment in it after
standing in a bottle or common glass
for twenty four hours, are signs of kid
ney and bladder trouble.
The above symptoms are often attrib
uted by the patient herself or by her
physician to female weakness or womb
trouble. Hence, so many fail to obtain
relief, because they are treating, not
the disease itself, but a reflection of the
primary cause, which is kidney trouble.
In fact, women as well as men are
made miserable with kidney and blad
der trouble and both need the same
remedy.
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root is the
great discovery of the eminent kidney
and bladder specialist, and it is easy to
get at any drug store for fifty cents or
one doliar.
To prove its wonderful merits you
may have a sample bottle and book
telling all about it, both sent absolutely
free by mail. Kindly mention The
Columuian and send your address
