The movement of the Supervisor
yesterday in starting to take the mud
from Main street was a commendable
one. There are still tons of mud and
dirt on our streets that ought to be
scraped together and carted away. It
is the accumulation of last fall and
winter and soon under the warm sun
will be converted into dust and blown
Into the houses and breathed into the
lungs of the people. As a sanitary
measure clean streets are. an absolute
necessity. "With streets covered four
to six inches deep with dust eyery
little breeze sets clouds ladened with
disease-breeding germs afloat which
penetrate the open doors and win
dows of our homes to the annoyance
of the tidy housewife as well as to the
detriment to the health of the com
munity. Newspapers.
The" following is an extract from an
address delivered in New York on
Wednesday evening, by Dr. St. Clair
McKelway, the brilliant editor of tho
Brooklyn Eagle, and is worthy of re
production here, especially at this
time :
"Advertisers and newspaper men
together make the character of a pub
lic journal. The editorial page, all
contradiction to the contrary not
withstanding, is the most important
page of the newspaper. The news
pages, by their fairness, their clean
ness, their intelligence and their en
terprise, largely make evident the
ability and the resources of the sheet.
But the editorial page reflects not
only the ability, but the oharacter of
the journal ; its virtue as well as its
vigor ; its conscience as well as its
capacity ; Its courage as well as its
conscience.
"The editorial page indicates the
quality of the constituency of a news
paper. I know that it could not get
along without the news pages, but I
also know that the news pages would
get along in limping and halting
fashion without the editorial page.
Recall newspapers with poor editorial
pages or with none, but with bright
news pages. They may have vogue,
but they do not have influence. They
may have circulation, but they do
not have power. They may be able
to say things and to spread things,
but they cannot do things and cannot
get things done. And the exact
measure of their impotency is sug
gested by the blare of their claims of
efficiency and of accomplishment.
Happily these newspapers of blare are
just few enough to be as distinctive
as repulsive, and desirably to differ
entiate themselves from the general
journalism that, at home and abroad,
was never more respeotable and more
honored than it Is to-day.
"I give a short duration to the
journalism of dirt, defamation, de
magogy and boasting. That journal
ism, in all its few examples, is becom
ing the victim of a throat-cutting
competition and of a reciprocal evis
ceration; and the other journalism,
holding its stoutly course, was never
more prosperous and never more de
servedly so than now. I expect that
it will still further improve. I con
cede that the great advertisers have
greatly improyed It. Their an
nouncements liayo the charm of
narrative. They have the sequence
of argument. They have the attrac
tion of fancy. They have the Incen
tive and the decoration of metaphor,
of literary allusion, at times of poetry
Itself."

Regardless Of Age.
The kidneys are responsible for more sick
ness, suffering, and deaths than any other
organs of the body.
A majority of the ills afflicting people to
day is traceable to kidney trouble. It prevades
all classes of society, iu all climates, regard
less of age, sex or condition.
The symptoms of kidney trouble are unmis
takable, such as rheumatism, neuralgia, sleep
lessness, pain or dull ache in the back, a
desire to urinate often day or night, profuse or
scanty supply.
Uric 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
kidneys) are found in the urine, which if
neglected will result in Bright's Disease, the
mos,t dangerous form of kidney trouble.
All these symptoms and conditions are
promptly removed under the influence of Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root. It has a world wide
reputation for its wonderful cures of the most
distressing cases.
No one need be long without it as it is so
easy to get at any drug store at fifty cents or
one dollar. You can have a sample bottle of
this wonderful discovery, Swamp-Root, and a
book telling all about it, both sent to you
absolutely free by mail. Send your address to
Dr. Kilmer & Co,, Binghamton, N. Y., and
kindly mention that you read this liberal offer
in the Shenandoah Herald.

"Wo arc now near enough to tho

cago platform aro as united today in
tho determination that no step taken
in 1886 Shall bo retraced. Suggestions
that wo abandon tho money question
sometimes come from those who de
serted the party In 1896, but thoso
suggestions aro not supported by evl
denco tending to show that tho posi
tion In 1896 was wrong, but wa3 pred
icated upon the theory that the issue
upon which tho party once lost can
nover be revived, and what seems
most strange, this argument Is inado
by thoso who havo followed a different

for twenty years. I was sick in different ways, and in
addition, had Eczema terribly on one of my legs. The
doctor said that on account of my age, I would never he

Mr. J. W. Loving, of Colquitt, Ga., says: "For eight

my skin, I tried almost every known remedy, but they
failed one by one, and I was told that my age, which is
sixty-six. was against me, and that I oould nover hopo

my blood thoroughly, and now I am in porfoct health."

As to tlio Food Vntno of Ment Fur
nished tho Soldiers.
Washington, April 14. Dr. W. D.
BIgelow, chemist of tho agricultural
department, told tho Wado court of In
quiry yesterday that the canned beef
wns a wholesome nnd nutritious pro
duct oven more nutritious than fresh
beef, becauso of tho propondorenco of
protclds. Ho also gavo tho details of
his general Investigation Into tho can
nod beef supply, showing tho meat to
ho a gonorally satisfactory ration. Ho
considered tho boef oxtract a stimulant
rather than a nutritive. The meat loft
nftcr its extraction, ho said, would bo
nutritive, as tho protelds would bo loft.
Whether, howevor, It would bo palat
nblo would bo a matter for each In
dividual to decido for himsolf. Prob
ably It would not bo an Ideal food.
Canned roast ocef was preferable to
bacon as a food for tho Boldlcrs.
Professor Mallet, professor of chem
istry at tho University of Virginia,
presented a contrary view. Ho ex
pressed tho opinion that a chemical
analysis was not a sufficient test of
tho character of a food product, say
ing that various conditions necessarily
must bo considered. A combination ol
horso flesh, tallow and carpenter's glue
might glvo practically the same re
sults as thoso reported from the ex
amination of tho canned roast hoof.
In determining tho food valuo of n
ration It was necessary to consider
Its digestibility, capacity for absorp
tion, Its adaptability to chemical
changes and also, secondarily, Its pal
atablllty. It was also necessary to
know tho possibility of the injurious
offects of any food article upon tho
body. Considering all theso questions
Mr. Mallot did not believe tho canned
beef supplied to tho army In tho Span
ish war a proper artlclo of food. Ho
related that tho experiment had been
mado of feeding to hogs tho residue of
beef after tho extract had been m.'do
from it, which had resulted In the
practical starvation of tho nogs.
THE LAKE CITY LYNCHING.
Witnesses Identify Sovortil of tlio A) on
on Trlnl.
Charleston, S. C, April 14. A num
ber of witnesses testified for the gov
ernment In the Lake City lynching case
yesterday. M. B. Springs returned to
the stand for cross examination. He
had sworn that Stokes told him of tho
plan to kill Baker and asked him to
Join tho mob. It was shown he had
been a member of the coroner's Jury
which brought In a verdict that Baker
came to his death at tho hands of un
known parties. Ho said he was afraid
to tell the Jury what ho know about tho
case.
George Jeffords testified that Joyner,
ono of tho defendants, told him there
were only nine mon at the lynching,
and that McKnlght, another defendant,
killed Baker.
Henderson Williams, a negro, swore
he went towards the postofflce whllo It
was burning. He mot seven men com
ing away from It. Thoy had guns, and
he recognized Epps, a defendant,
among them.
Another negro said he was with
Williams and recognized Webster,
Ward and Alonzo Rodgers, all defend
ants, in tho party of lynchers. These
two witnesses sworo before tho coro
ner thoy know nothing about the crime.
They said yesterday they were afraid
to tell tho truth at Lake City.
Tho defense has seventy odd wit
nesses thoy will put on the stand. The
theory of the defense Is that Baker
was killed by men from tho country
near Lake City. Alibis will be set up
for each defendant.

THE S'AMOAN COAMISSTONERS
Will Sail From San Frnnclsco on tho
Twonty-firtli.
Washington, April 14. Tho Samoan
commission will sail for Apia on the
United States naval transport Badger,
leaving San Francisco on tho 25th
Inst. This arrangement was made yes
terday after Baron Von Sternberg,
first secretary of the German embassy,
had called on Secretary Hay and ad
vised him of his appointment as the
German member of tho high commis
sion. This completed tho body.
Tho formal announcement of Baron
Sternberg's appointment was received
from the German foreign offlco, and
gave general satisfaction among of
ficials and diplomats, as throughout
tho recent troubles he has exerted hU
Influence in such manner as to win
tho heartiest approval of tho state
department, as well as the British am
bassador. His choice, thoreforo, was
accepted as an evidence that tho com
missioners would be able to co-operato,
and to reach the unanimous decision
called for by the agreement. Tho early
sailing of tho commission is regarded
as evidence that the recent collision at
Apia will be saUled diplomatically.

ditlon resulting from a ueglected cold In the
head, whereby the lining membrane of tho
nose becomes inflamed and tho poisonous dis
chargo therefrom, passing back into tho
throat, reaches tho ftomach, thug producing
catarrh of tho stomach. Medical authorities
prescribed for me threo years for catarrh of
tho btomach without cure, but to-day I am
the happiest of men after using only one box
of SiiMrt's Dyspepsia Tablets. I can not find
appropriate words to express my good feeling.
I havo found flesh, nppetlto and sound rest
from their use.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
preparation as; woll as tho simplest and mpst
convenient remedy for any form of iudlges
