Saved from the Surgeon'sKnife
No organs are of greater Importance to tlie human body than the Kidneys.
Their duty is to sift and strain the poisonous and waste matter from the blood,
and if they fail to do this, the trouble ishowi in the nervous system, and even in
the brain. Your life is at stake when there are pains in the small of your back
When you are compelled to get tip at night to urinate when the passing of water
causes scalding pain when there is a sediment In the urine In the vessel, of
when It appears white or milky. When so afflicted, you can conquer the trouble
with Dr. David Kcnnedy'a Favorite Remedy, the greatest medicine that
civilisation has ever known for curing Kidney,
Bladder, Blood and Liver Diseases.
James Lettice, of Canajoharie, N. Y., tells of
his wonderful cure: " Some years ago I was attacked
with pains in my back
ana sides that were -ag ,.vg
fearful. I could notcon
trol my kidneys, and
what came from me was
rilled with mucus and blood
An Albany doctor was to
perform an operation upon
me, and said my home doctor
could take care of me after. I
saw an advertisement of Dr.
David Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy, which seemed to fit my
case, so I decided to try that before I
its use. When I had taken about
two bottles the flow from the bladder grew cleaner, and the pain stopped, and in
a short time I was saved from the surgeon's knife, and am now well." .
Favorite Remedy also cures Ecr-ema, Scrofula, Rheumatism, Dyspepsia
and Constipation. For Female Troubles It is unequuled. It is sold for $1.00
bottle at all drug stores. '
Cj?T-na Rnt IIa fAA T In order that sufferers may be convinced of
OUalt VVlllV 1 1 VV I the curative virtues of Favorite Remedy,
a free sample bottle will be sent, prepaid, to those who send their full postoflice
address to the Dr. David Kennedy Corporation, Rondout, N. Y. It is necessary

The Mining Bulletin
The last two number of the Min
ing Bulletin of the Pennsylrania
Rtnte GrileRe contain some rery in
teresting information regarding the
probabilities of our Commonwealth
in petroleum which shows that the
dtoeks of oil have materially decreas
ed ; that the result of the new works
have fallen off, that the production
hns decreased, while at the same
time onr shipments abroad and our
consumption have increased. It is
shown that the shipment of the
Lima-Indiana oil have now reached
those of our own state and it is
hoped, though there seems no brill
iant prospoct for it, that Pennsyl
vania may recover her possession
ns an oil producer. That the con
sumption will increase is no doubt,
but will the production meet it?
We are experiencing no serious
competition from the Russian or
western oil, ns America produces
the best llluminant. There should,
therefore, be a stimulus to onr
western countries and all trades de
pendant on oil.
The Standard oil oompany offers 65
conts a barrel, and in the speculative
markets 77 cents can be had. The
producer's day Isoomingand again
should we have the busy prospector
and blooming days of oil.
Lima oil is crowding Pennsyl
vania very hard and last month
shipped daily within 300 barrels as
much as Pennsylvania. We hope
to hear from Bradford and Roaring
Creek again, as with cash oil at 60
cents and hiirhor indications, the
times are improving.
Author of "Nearer, My Ood,
To Thee."
Mrs. 8ft rah Flower Adams was the
authoress of the grand hymn. This
lady was born in Cambridge, Eng
land, in the month of February, 1805,
Her father was the editor of a week
ly Cambridge paper, and the same au
thority informs us that her mother
was a woman of fine gifts and cul
ture. The sweet hymn-writer was
the youngest child, and was early
noted for the taste which she manl
fosted In literature, and later in life
for great zeal and earnestness in her
religious life. She is said to have
contributed both prose and verse to
the periodicals of her day, and to
have her criticisms in art matters
highly esteemed. She wrote a cat
echism for children, which was pub
lished in the year 1842. She married
young, was of fair constitution, but
was always, even with many creat
ure complaints, very busy with her
literary labor. At just what time
and under what circumstances she
wrote the great hymn is not
known. It was first published in
1841, but the authoress never knew
the fame which the sacred song
brought her. Mrs. Adams died at
the age of 44, and since then the
linos she penned have been singing
themselves round the world.
The war prospeots have set people
thinking about how money is to be
obtained for war expenses. The
first and most gratifying develop,
ment in this particular is the discov
ery that the United States has more
money in circulation to-day than
at any time in its history, the
total money in circulation being
1,756,058,645, or 1246,000,000 more
than at the date of the Chicago con
vention, which declared that no ma
terial inorease in our currency could
be had without the free and unlimit
ed coinage of silver. It is also dis
covered that the money on deposit
in the National, State, and savings
banks is greater than ever before,
and thus people would be in excel
lent condition to respond to a call for
a popular loan in case of necessity
Story of Kilkenny Cats
That two cats fought in a saw-pit
so ferociously, that when the battle
was over, only the tail of each was
left. This is an allegory of the
municipalities of Kilkenny and Irish
town, who contended so stoutly
about boundaries and rights, to the
end of the seventeenth oentury.that
they mutually improverished eaoh
other ate up each other, leaving
only a tail behind.
The Origin of Let the Cat
Out of the Bag".
It was formerly a trick among the
oountry people in England to sub
stitute a cat for a sucking pig and
bring it in a bag to market. If any
greenhorn chose to buy a"pig in
iKke" without examination, all very
won, but if he opened the sack,"he
let the out out of the bag," and the
trick was disclosed.
"I feel it my duty to give you a
truthful statement of what Cham
jerlain's Colic, Cholera and Dia
rrhoea Remedy did," writes J. S.
Collins, of Moore, S. C. "I had a
child about two years old, that had
the diarrhoea for two months. I
tried the best known remedies, but
none gave the least relief. When
this remedy came to hand, I gave it
an directed, and in two days the
child was oompletly cured." Sold

The Delay In Confreea Beneficial. We are
Better Prepared Sow. War Mkeljr To
Begin Soon. The Army Massed at Chink,
manga Park.
Washiwqtok, D. C, April 18, 1898.
President Mo Kinley did no fret
ting because Congress took a whole
week to act upon his message on
armed intervention in Cuba, while
the general expectation was that the
business would be done in two days
at the outside 1 he knows what re
sponsibility is. That the delay has
been beneficial to this government
may be seen from the following lan
guage, nsed by a member of the Cab
inet to an impatient friend who was
repeating the argument nsed on all
sides against the apparent tardiness
both of Congress and the President :
"Nobody has the remotest idea how
unprepared we were when Con
gress made the appropriation of
$50,000,000. As a matter of fact,
there were not five rounds of ammu
nition In a fortified place in the
oountry, and the ships did not have
ammunition enongh to fight any
thing. We were simply ready in an
amateurish manner. The President
was shocked when he learned the
full foots. A knowledge of these
facts had as much to do with making
him cautious as a desire to avoid
war. Had this oountry been forced
into war three weeks ago, we might
have gotten the worst of things for
awhile. I think we are now about
ready and can give an account of
ourselves." These words should be
considered by the hair-trigger indi
viduals who blame the President
for not rushing into war weeks ago.
Just when hostilities will begin
Is still a matter of some doubt, al
though it must necessarily be soon.
The House is to-day considering the
intervention resolution adopted by
the Senate, which recognizes the
independence of the present govern
ment of Cuba and otherwise differs
from that adopted by the House. It
is expected that an agreement will
be reached sometime to-day, or to
morrow at the outside and the res
olution be sent to the President, al
though there is some talk of the pos
sibility of a deadlock between the
House and Senate. Nothing official
has been said about the programme
that will be followed after the res
olution reaches the President, but
the statement is made upon good
authority that the President will
make a demand upon Spain to evac
uate Cuba and will grant one or two
days for the answer. This will be
largely for form sake, as it is already
praotically certain that Spain will
refuse, and will probably accom
pany the refusal with a message of
deflanoe. Then the naval forces of
the country will be put in motion
and the first steps taken towards
driving the Spaniards out of Cuba,
while the troops now being hurried
as fast as steam can carry them to
wards convenient points of embark,
ation will be got in shape to be rush
ed over to Cuba just as soon as the
floet has captured a desirable loca
tion on the island for them to be
landed. Once landed the war will
be pushed to a speedy and victorious
end both on land and on water.
Naval officials smile at sensational
predictions of damage that will be
done to our oommeroe by Spanish
privateers. Instead of having any
fears on that score, they think that
we shall have so many fast and for
midable auxiliary cruisers on the
seas that any Spanish privateer that
gets far f romhome will be extremely
fortunate if it escapes destruction or
capture by some of them. The
Spanish are not ignorant of onr
preparation in this line, and they
are not likely to go as extensively
into the privateering business in re
ality as our sensationalists have
mode them go in imagination.
. The massing of practically three
fourths of the regular army about
18,000 men at Chiokamauga Park.
New Orleans, Mobile, and Tampa,
is the first open move towards the
military occupation of Cuba. The
plan of campaign is all mode out,
but so well has the secret been kept
that no person, not an official, can
positively say whether these reg
ulars will have militia assistance in
their invasion of Cuba or not. The
general impression is, however, that
they will, and that a call lor volun
teers from the militia will be issued
by President McKinley within ' 48
hours of the moment his signature
is attached to the joint resolution
authorizing forcible intervention in
Cuba. It is understood, but not
officially, that the President has de
cided to adopt the plan of calling
for volunteer militiamen rather
than one calling upon eaoh state to
furnish its quota of the number of
men desired, and that the organ
izations which volunteer first are to
be accepted regardless of the states
from which they come. According
to estimates maae by war Depart
ment officials, more than 2,000,000
volunteers have been offered to the
government, which is about twenty
times more men than anyone expects
to oe neoaoa.
"The Issue Is now with the Con
gress, it Is a solemn responsibility.
I have exhausted every effort to re
lieve the intolerable condition of
affairs whioh is at our doors. Pro
pared to execute every obligation
Imposed upon me by the Constitution
and the law, I await your action."
President Mo Kinley to-Cong reap on
Cuban question, April 11, 1898.
"The only hope of relief and re
pose from a condition which can no
longer be endured, is the enforsod
pacification of Culm. In the n ;ie of
humanity, in the name of civilization
in behalf of injured American inter
ests which give ns the right hnd duty
to speak and act, the war in Cuba
must stop." From President Mc
Kinley 's messnge, April 11,1898.
