The Passing of Bryan.
The News ardently supported Bryan and the
Chicago platform In ISM, but we doubt the wis
dom of again going before the country on the 16
to 1 Issue. There are Indications everywhere
to be found that sliver has lost itsflKdd on the
Democratic manses, and wa predict that it will
again meet with Inglorious defeat at the hands
of the American voter, ft It la made the "battle
cry" In 1900. Wllkesliarre News.
Our contemporary plainly sees the
hand-writing on the wall. As a na
tional Issue, the financial question,
as enunciated in tho Chicago plat
form, is relegated to the rear. The
News is one of the leading papers of
Luzerne county, and materially as
sisted in carrying that oaunty for the
Democracy last year and the year
provious.
Unlike those who have ulterior
motives, the News sees the error of
Its ways and freely confesses that the
American people have no faith in the
Bryan dogmas. The penny-a-liners,
however, will continue the fight
along the linns of the Chicago plat
form. They will again steer the good
old ship of Democracy, If they are
continued in command, against the
rocks of popular disapproval.

MANY a dutiful daughter pays In pain for licr mother's
Ignoranco or perhaps neglect.
The mother sufforcd nr.d she thinks her daughter
must suffer also. This Is true only to a limited extent. No
excessive- pain is healthy. Every mother should Inform her
INDULGENT
MOTHERS
Many a young girl's beauty Is wasted by unnecessary pain at
time of menstruation, and many indulgent mothers with
mistaken kindness permit their daughters to grow careless
about physical health.
Miss Cakrie M. Lamii, Dig Beaver, Mich., writes: "Dkar
Mrs. PiSkham A year ago
irregular menstruation
and lcucorrhcoa. My
appetite was variable,
stomach sour and bowels
were not regular, and
was subject to pains like
colic duringmenstruation.
I wrote you and began to
take Lydla E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and
used two packages of
SanativoWash. Youcan't
imagine my relief. My
courses are natural nnd
general health improved."
Mrs. Nannie Adkins,
La Due, Mo., writes:
"Dear Mrs. Pinkham
I feel it my duty to tell
you of the good your;
Vegetable Compound has
done my daughter. She
suffered untold agony at
time of menstruation bo
fore takingyourmedicine ;
but the Compound has
relieved the pain, given her a better color, and she feels
stronger, and has improved every way. I am very grateful to
you for the benefit she has received. It is a great medicine
for young girls."

New York, May 3. Henry B. Hyde,
president of tho Equitable Life As
surance Society of tho United States,
died at his home in this city yesterday
afternoon of heart failure. Mr. Hydo
had been suffering for more than a
year with inflammatory rheumatism,
which left him with an nffection of tho
heart. On Monday he was seized with
an alarming attack, which grew con
tinually worse until the end. Ho was
C5 years old.
HOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle or common glasss with your
water and ct it stand twenty-four hours:
a sediment or settling indicates an unheal
thy condition of the kidneys ; if it stains
your linen it is evidence of kidney trouble j
too frequent desire to pass it or pain in the
back is also convincing proof that the kidneys
and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
Tiieie is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the back,
kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the
urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold
water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or beer,
and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of
being compelled to go often during the day,
and to get up many times during the night.
The mild and the extraordinary cflect of
Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the
highest for its wonderful cures of the most
distressing cases. If ynu need a medicine you
should have the best. At druggists fifty cents
or one dollar.
You may have a sample bottle and a book
that tells more about it, both sent absolutely
free by mail, if you send your address to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Dinghamton, N. Y. When
writing be sure and mention that you read this1
generous offer in the Shenandoah IIurald

In a room of a lodging house, a bullet
having ended the life of each. Mrs.
Hassall had been morbidly Infatuated

Monday night Mrs. Hassall told Mrs.
Hickman that she was goln& to start

Hickman to spend the night with her.
Mrs. Hickman consented, and her rela

yesterday, visited tho lodg

Mrs. Hassall had killed Mrs. Hickman
and then herself. Mrs. Hassall came
from London, Eng., and called her
self the duchess, claiming that her hus
band is a duke. She became so madly
Infatuated with Mrs. Hickman that her
husband left her, but the couple wero
about to bo reconciled. Medical men
are of the opinion that Mrs. Hassall
was Insane. The case is similar to ono
which occurred at Memphis a few yearn
