Fill bottle or common jlasa with your water and let It stand twenty-four hourt; a sediment or set tllnj Indicates an unhealthy condi tion of the kid neys; If It stains your rtnen It Is evidence of kid ney trouble; too frequent desire to pass It or pain in the back is also convincing proof that the kidneys and blad der sre out of order. What to Do. There is comfort In the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the treat kidney remedy fulfills every wish In curing rheumatism, pain In the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. 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 extra ordinary effect of Swtmp.Root Is soon realized. It stands the highest for Its won derful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best.

While we do not make the claim for Mr. Sleight that he is absolutely perfect or absolute ly correct In all things, we do believe that the affairs and ac counting of his office will bear the closest scrutiny. He has said repeatedly that bis ac counts are always open to the public, which Is pretty good evidence that when be la weigh ed In the balance he will not be found wanting.

All persons who find It necessary to take liver medi cine should try these easy pills, and compnro tho agreeably pleasant and strengthening effect with the nauseat ing and weakening conditions follow ing the use of other remedies.

Thla year thn Hlute Hoard concliKled that ll.l'C&.O'K) waa needed. The per cent, of Ihla amount that la reiiilred of C'luckamua county 0335 per cent, of the total amounts to 111,037.00, Incluillng the county's a hare of the agricultural college tax. Under the provlalona of the law It la required that the county board of each county make a h-vy for atute purpoaea aulllclent to ralae the amount that la due from Unit county. The Cliu kumiia county boiuil hna bud to make a levy of 5 mllla Ihla year In order to ralae. thla county's share of thn alnte tux 114, OJ7. I .ant year Clackuinaa contributed only '.'7.71 for state purpoaea, so It .will he ai-cn that miuly twice the amount of money nmat thla yefir be iiiIh.iI In Clackaiima county for state purpoaea ua Waa ruined laat year. School Par Capita Tax Doubled. At the hint KcHxIon of the I.eKinluluie the achool law was o chunk'. d aa to reiiulre a per capita tax of t'i from each county for every child of school age In the county. t'nder the old law each county waa reunited to levy a tax auf Ihi. iit lo rulMo a per capltu tax of 12 .86 for every child of school liKe realdlng In the county. It will be noticed that the new law a little more than dotiblea the p r capita tax. so that with an ns scRHiiicnl roll double that of a year ago. the Clackamas County Court had to levy the aame tux of u year ago-6 mllla In older to ralae the required 16 per capita.

Pays Small Part State Taxes. Hut, with It all, Clackomoa county Is really fortunate In one respect. Consid ering tho true value of Its land, manu facturing Institutions and extensive re sources, this county Is bearing a small portion of the sttae's expenries. There are a number of other cnajities In the state, no more valuable thun Clacka mas, and a number of them for which the writer would not exchange Clack amas county with considerable to boot thut contribute more toward the state's expenses. For Instance, the following counties are cited, showing both the per centage and the amount of the state tax that la paid by each: Rate. Ta. Douglas 2345 J42.262 Mrw 04C2 66 65 I.lnn 0526 64,435 Yamhill 0391 47.897 Umatilla 0.n25 Marlon WIS 76,029 Even Polk pays .0307 per cent, of the total, or 137.607, while Washington, at .0301, contributes 136,872, and neither o! these counties Is to be compared with .Clackamas In the mater of real value of agricultural lands and reaourcei. Place Blame Where It Beloaga. While the taxes this year are rather excessive, yet the taxpayer should not place the blame other than where It be longs. We trust that this somewhat ex tended statement of facts will coirect many of the erroneous Impressions that exist In the minds of taxpayers The county officers have fulfilled their prom ises by cutting the levy In two. follow ing the doubling of the assessable val ues of the county. From the firures that have ben presented In the foregoing por-at-nphs, It will be seen that the nct ial amount of money to be rnlsed for coiuity purposes will be slightly less thun wns r-iired a year ago. Civs Officers Deserved Credit. Do not unduly criticise the preaont of ficers, but give them the credit for having during the last two years Riven C'.nckamns county the best administra tion of affairs that the county has ever had. The county has been managed since July, 1902, by the present officers as economically as ever before In the history of the county. At any rate, the expenses have been appreciably reduc ed from tho record made by the pre ceding administration of Clackamas county affairs by Fusion officers. The expenses of tho county under the pres ent Republican officers have been re duced from 19.536. 66, In 1901. to 37. 223.30 for the year 1903. During the same length of time the present admln tatratlon of county affairs cancelled a road Indebtedness of 137,000, and in the payment of outstanding warrants gained three months. All county war rants Issued prior to December 1, 1901, have been redeemed. These cold figures should quite completely disprove the charges of extravagance that are being made against the present officers by Democrats. The Pamt Season is Now On, a few Suggestions to Prospective Painters. We are Boiling the Regal Pure Prepared Paint, a full gallon of the herit paint that can be made, each can containing '231 cubic inches (U. S. Standard) when Healed. A Paint that will wear for five years or more and based upon years of service (which is the right way to figure) does not cost half as much as paint that wears from one to possibly two years. Till will cover at least 25 per cent more surface than paint mixed by hand with the upe of white lead. That means it requires only 4 gallons of Kegal Paint to every 5 gallons that would be used of white lead paint mixed by hand. It will wear 50 per cent longer than "mixed by hand paint." Don't try to save a few dollars in the price per gallon of paint at the expense of many dollars in covering quality. The cost of applying paint is about twice as much as for the paint itself. It costs as much to apply paint that won't wear as for Hegal that will last for yeas, and it costs as much every time it is applied. Every can of Regal guaranteed. It saves you dollars in quality required and years of wear. Price per gallon, $1.50. In live gallon can lots $1.45. If you want Lead and Oil, give us a chance to figure with you. We are selling at "bed rock" prices and carry every thing in the Paint, Oils and Glass line. Agents for Hazelwood Cream. Soli in any quantity.

Oregon, died at her home April 22, 1904, after a short Illness, and was burled in the Olbeon cemetery April 54. 1904. Deceased was born February IS, 1891. Mabel was a very good and industrious girl, obedient to her parents, kind and affectionate to her brothers and sisters, and loved by all who knew her. She waa converted February IS, 1904, and was loyal to God. She leaves behind to mourn her death besides her parents, five brothers and three slaters, who have the sympathy of all. A precious one from us baa gone, A voice we loved is stilled, A place Is vacant In our home Which never can be filled. God In His wisdom has recalled The boon His love had given. And though the body moulders here, The soul is safe In heaven. , An Open Letter. From the Chapln. S. C News: Early in the spring my wife and I were taken with diarrhoea, and so severe were the pains that we called a physician who prescribed for us, but his medicine failed to give any relief. A friend who bad a botUe of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy on hand gave each of us a dose and we at once felt tbe effects. I procured a botUe and be fore using the enUre contents we were entirely cured. It Is a wonderful remedy and should be found in ev ery household. H. C Bailey, Editor. This remedy Is for sale by G. A.

Holman will be elected, not merely be cause his name Is on the Republican ticket, but because he has conducted his office at the least possible cost to the taxpayers. This is the fact and the records of the county will back up the statement There have been many in stances during Mr. Holman's term when he dispensed with the holding of an in quest while it has been the experience of Clackamas county that the average coroner would have worked up a case and collected fees for the same. FOR COMMISSIONER. The Immense vote that T. B. Klllin, Republican nominee for county commis sioner, will receive will be a surprise even to the warmest friends of that gentleman. Mr. Klllin is a substantial farmer residing In the south end of the county. He has served the people of Clackamas county well during his first term, and with the other members of the Court managed to conduct the busi ness of the county more economically than it has been done in years. "Tom" Klllin will be found up towards the top of the column in figuring Republican majorities. FOR JOINT REPRESENTATIVE. O. W. Holcomb, Jr.. candidate for Joint representative from Multnomah and Clackamas counties, is a success ful business man of Portland, and will receive the full party vote in Clackamas county.
