A majority of the ills afflicting people to day is traceable to kidney trouble. It prevades all classes of society, in all climates, regard less of age sex or condition. The symptoms of kidney trouble are unmis takable, sch as rheumatism, neuralgia, sleep lessness, pain or dull ache in the back, desire to urinate often day or night, profuse or scanty supply. Urir acid, or brick-dust deposit in urine are signs of clogged kidneys, causing poisoned and germ-filled blood. Sometimes the heart acts badly, and tube casts (wasting of the Wdneys) are found in the urine, which if neglected will result in Ilright's Disease, the most dangerous form of kidney trouble.

Democrats, Re publicans and citizens Irrespective of party assembled In mass meeting In various wards of the city last night and declared themselves unalterably opposed to nny street railway legisla tion by the aldermen under the Allen law. Prominent speakers were In at tendance at all of the meetings. The ward machinery of the Democratic party took up the cause. Just as the ex- eoutlve committee of the Republican party nacl a few days previous. Chi cago has never witnessed such a spec tacle before, and It Is doubtful It any other city has. Mayor Harrison called for voters yesterday to help him win the fight against the flfty-yenr franchise or dinance, on the proposition: "No fran chise extension ordinance of any kind until the Allen law In repealed." Yes terday he wrote his name to the fol lowing: "Every political, social, religious or other organization which takes action against the proposed traction ordi nances Is requested to send a delegate to tho Independent Anti-Boodle League, room 323, Ashland block. Such delegates shall act as members of the league's executive committee, and shall report the necessity of public action, should such necessity arise, to the or ganization sending him. It Is necessary thnt a permanent and watchful force should follow the people's fight to the end." In addition to political (speakers the league has at Its disposal lawyers, judges, ministers, professors, business men and worklngmen who have offered their services. Mayor Harrison yesterday put the brakes on some hot headed citizens who talked "ropes" by telling them that In the first place there would bo no neces sity for anv overt acts, because the "gang" could not muster enough votes to pass the ordinance over his veto. and In the second place that all talk of mob law, vigilance committees and escorts to aldermen were out of place and dangerous. He said he was heartily opposed to demonstrations which could be construed as lawless. A score of men started out last night distributing white badges on which were printed a gibbet, from which dangled a noose. The words printed on the badge were "Antl-flfty-year steal." Before the theater crowds had reached home these badges were all over the city. One of the men distrib uting the ribbons said over 200.000 have been printed. Robbed the Grave. A startling Incident of which Mr. John Oliver' of Philadelphia, was tho subject, is narrated by lilin as follows : "I was in a most 1 read (ill condition.

The Imparclal adds: ."The par tisans of the war realized that some thing startling was necessary to arous? national sentiment. It was a remark able chance. Almost all the Maine's officers were on board another ship at the time of the catastrophe. Those who charge the Spaniards with being capable of such a monstrous act are well capable of committing It them selves. Spain cannot remain under such an Infamous charge."

Senator Kenney yesterday Ed ward Ttosa, the expert accountant, con tinued his testimony. The manipulation of checks by Vogga, the wltnes said, was possible under what Is known as the new system of bookkeeping equally as well as under the old system. He testified to the entering in red Ink of what are known as legitimate over drafts, and said It was Impossible for the bank olllclals to determine by the bank's books the actual overdrafts of the defendant that he had discovered by an examination and comparison of the Fit st National's books with the Farmers' bank. He said the bank lost nothing through the defendant's ac counts. Thomas J. Kwell, a reporter for the Baltimore Sun, testified to the genuine ness of an Interview with Senator Ken ney published June 10, 1898, In which Kenney said that he knew Doggs was In trouble at the bank, and that the teller had told him he was a defaulter. This was In October, 1831. Boggs, In his testimony, made It a year later. After some unimportant testimony the government rested Its case and ex Attorney General Biggs addressed the Jury for the defense. He admitted that Boggs had told Kenney he was a defaulter, but that the defense would prove the amount was not mentioned, and that Senator Kenney advised Boggs, as his counsel, to make good his deficit. From that time on until Boggs' flight In the following year Ken ney never discussed the defalcation, and was under the Impression he had made the amount good In the mean time. After recess Senator Kenney took the stand In his own behalf, and until adjournment, over two hours, he told his story of his relations to the de faulting teller. His manner was calm, and he answered all questions with posltlveness and emphasis. He pro nounced as absolutely false all the Im portant Incriminating statements testi fied to by Teller Boggs. He said he first met Boggs between 18SI and 1883, and wns first consulted by him profes sionally some time prior to 1893. It was in 1894, and not 1895, he said, that Boggs told him he was in troubl at the bank. He never mentioned the amount nor the names of others who had aided him In looting the Institu tion. Senator Kenney advised him then to see his relatives and have his de ficit made good, so ns to avoid publicity. The matter, he said, was never again referred to until Boggs' flight In May, 1897. Coming down to the period named In the Indictment, the last eight months of 1896, when Boggs appropriated so much bank money, the witness said he knew, as counsel for Boggs, that the teller had legitimate resources amount ing to over $4,000, Irrespective of his bank salary, from the fall of 1895 to February, 1S97. Ho denied that he ever knew Boggs was withholding witness' checks at nny time, or that he was similarly carrying Thomas S. Clark, Colonel Cooper and others. Touching upon a certain purchase of stock on margin in connection with Boggs, for which the latter said he paid In $1,000 of bank funds, the senatorsald: "It was the first stock I ever bought. It was a fad In the state then to buy Bay State Oas, but It had no Inlluenco over me. Boggs and Colonel Cooper Induced me to buy, saying they were on the Inside and had a great deal of money out of It. We carried 350 shares. 100 of which was Boggs'. It was bought at 20 and steadily declined. I wanted to close out at a small loss, but "Boggs Insisted that It was going to 45. The losses I paid on my check, and my under standing was that the $1,000 was deposited by Boggs to my" credit from the funds." He admitted depositing drafts for over $9,000 and thnt they were returned to the bank, but denied that the pur pose of the drafts was to tide over nn Investigation of the books. lie believed In their genuineness, and upon being notified that they were dishonored he at once made the amounts good. He denied Hoggs' stntinienls In ref erence to cnnveiHatiiins about Ilnggs' flight to Cuba and the discussion "f possible new treaties tu shield th teller from arrest, lie also d nled hav ing written letters tu Burgs about car rying checl'K. or that he lnd ev-r added such words a "destroy tills." or "burn this," to any letteis to Boggs.

The prosecu tion yesterday rested Its case In the trial of ex-Cashier Steele, charged with misapplying the funds of the Chestnut Street National bank. The first wit. nesses of the day were three former di rectors of the bank Oeorge Zlegler, Jr Charles A. Porter and Moses W. Up per. They stated uniformly that they knew nothing of Slngerly's overdrafts until they were notified by Comptroller of the Currency Eckels. The Directors met In 1S96 and were apprised by Mr. Slngerly of the real condition of af fairs. Mr. Upper Informed the presi dent that lie urould no longer serve on the board. Mr. Upper's formal resigna tion was presented to the board on Jan. 1, 1897. The testimony of the di rectors was listened to Intently by the Jurors, and It wns effective as showing the mismanagement of tho bank. Mr. Upper snld that Mr. Slngerly no Mflcd the directors when his indebted ness became known to them that tho he (Slngerly) was a very wealthy man na was entirely able to pay all In debtedness and "still have millions !ft." Another Interesting witness was "Will lam C, Smith, who was receiving tel ler of the Institution. District Attorney Beck brought out by this witness, who carried the large cash Items of Mr. Slngerly In his desk, that the Indebted ness of the Slngerly allied Interests to the bank was $569,405.01. The bulk of tlu Indebtedness had been carried for flv years. Cl. O. K'ilott, a bookkeeper, who had chnrgo of the ledger In which Mr. Sln gerly's account wus kept, strengthened the government's cnNe by stutlng that very frequently during last year he no tified tho cashier of Slngerly's over drafts, Lawyer Shields nt nnce opened for the defendant, lie made a rather forcible nddiess to the Jury, and said he would show from Mr. Steele's own lips that Mr. Slngerly was believed by the de feiiduul mid by every one else by whom he wns known ns being able to pay every doMnr be owed. The first witness for the defense was ex-Comptroller lCckels. Mr. Eckels said he hnd never understood that much of Slngerly's Indebtedness was In the form of overdrafts. Had he known the facts be would have ordered the bank closed. His other testimony was to the effect that his uttentlon was called to Mr. Slngerly's overdrafts In 1891, by Bank Mxamlner Hardt. In May. 1897, he knew that Slngerly's allied in terests owed the Chestnut Street Na tional bank $500,000, but he believed that this amount wns carried ns loans and discounts. He never made any en deavor to shield Mr. Slngerly. As a cli max the witness asked to be allowed to make a statement, and, upon being granted permission, he said: "I wish to say that the statement made by Mr. Shields that I ordered the Slngerly overdrafts to be carried as loans and discounts was entirely false." Mr. Shields at once announced thnl this was a newspaper statement based upon questions ho hnd asked a witness. Judge Butler then put In a word for the reporters, and said they generally got things straight. William Steele took the witness stand In his own behalf. In reply to a score of questions nsked upon cross-examination, as to why he had made false re ports to the comptroller regarding the Chestnut Street National bank, and why he bad not Informed the directors as to tin- true condition of the bank, he bad nothing to say. At last, when pressed for an answer, he snld: "Well, It must have been an oversight." Most women approach the critical period of motueruooa tor the first time with a sense of dread and foreboding lest the ruth- jQv less hand of 5f death should snatch them away and leave the expectant little darling motherless.

C, writes: " I have been using your medi cines for some time aud am happy to say that they have done all that you claim for them. 1 think they have no equal in the world.
