Fill a bottle or common glass with urine Bod let it stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling indicates an un healthy condition ot the kidneys. When urine stains linen it is evidenoe of kid ney trouble. Too frequent desire to uri nate or pain in the baok, is also convinc ing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. WHAT TO DO. There is oomfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy fulfils every wish in relieving pain in the baok, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part ot the urinary passages. It cor rects inability to bold urine and scald ing pain in passing it, or bad effects fol lowing use ot liquor, wine or beer, and overoomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up mnny times during the night to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp root is soon realized. It stands , the highest for its wonderful on res ot the most distressing oases. If yon need a medicine you should have the best. Sold by drnggists, price fifty Oeots and one dollar. You may have a sample bottle and pamphlet both sent free by mail. Mention the Heppner Gazette and send your address to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bing- bampton, N. Y. The proprietors of this paper guarantee the genuineness of this offer. HEPPNER IN IT. Ad OreKonlan Correspondent Counts Hepp ner One of the Four Towns of Eastern Oregon. An Oregonian correspondent writing from Boise, in the oourse ot his remarks, says: Eastern Oregon supports tour very good towns Heppner, Pendleton, La Grande and Baker City. Heppner is much smaller than the other three; nevertheless it is a lively burg, and is the county seat of Morrow, one of the richest and most productive oounties in the state. One evening, not long ago, Fditor Patterson and myself were sitting in the office of Heppner's leading hotel, dis oaeaing matters in general, when b called my attention to six men silting around the stove. At a glanoe a stranger would have placed the valuation of their possessions at say 81,000 eaob, but Mr. Patterson informed me that the six men, as a whole, held property and stock val ued at $750,000.

Orion Clemens, the only brother ot Mark Twain , died very suddenly tit bis borne in Keokuk Saturday morning, a week ago. Deceased was a man ot bril liant mind and considerable literary at tainments, although he never attained the celebrity of bis noted brother. At one time he was secretary of Nevada ter ritory and it was with him that Mark pioked up the experiences delineated In "Roughing It." Every reader of Mark Twain's great book ot Western eoeues and experiences will remember "the brother." Mark oame out as assistant secretary, but as there wasn't enongb work for one man and but$l,800 a year salary, Mark gave up the clerical business and went to mining, bat with very indifferent suo- oess. Tbs trip from St. Joe, Mo., to Carson City, Nevada, was an eventful on to the young man. He and bis brother, Orion, stopped over at Salt Lake a brief period to look into Mormondom generally, but mora particularly to see the great Poo Bab, Brigham Young. Mark tells bow Mr. Young related his experiences aod talked on topics generally, but all the time directing bis remark to tbe older brother, ninob to the discomfort of Mark who interjected a word here and there, just to let Mr. Young know that be knew a few things pretty well, even if bis mustache was just buddiug into de cent whiskers. Finally tbe great Mor man leader turned to Mark, and beam ing down opoo him with a smile patted him upon tbe bead in a fatherly way witb tba remark: "fine ohlld; boy or girl." Mark didu't take a great deal of interest in tbe rest of tbe talk. $30 000, and one ot the older men bad 9250,000 to oonsole bia declining years; and these men were but six of many. I was subsequently introduced to all of them, and spent a very pleasant and profitable boar listening to a history of tbe vicissitudes of tbe early pioneers of tnat seotion. It was a pleasure to talk to these un assuming men. Th increase in price of sheep and wool has swelled the profits of Morrow county over $1,000,000 aboye last year, to say nothing of tbe inorease in the price of wheat and otber pro ducts, it is needless to add that Hepp ner is a MoKinley town. While tbe editor of this paper cannot reoall to mind having made the state. meni, attributed to him, yet be bas no doubt that Morrow oounty has six men, interested In property here, inoluding residents and non residents, who are here frequently, whose possessions will easily foot up tbe sum mentioned. Take men like Hugh Fields, Nat Webb, Wm. Pen land, etc, their possessions run up into tbe hundred thousands. All the Gazette regrets is that Heppner is not as good a town as it might be. Regarded as a Duty. "I lost my appetite and became weak. At last I was takea very sick. My at tention was oalled to Hood's Barea parilla sad I took a bottle and it made me feel better.
