HOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle or oommon glass with
urine and lei it stand twenty-four hoars;
sediment or settling Indicates an no
healthy condition of the kidneys. When
urine stains linen it ia evidence of kid
ney trouble. Too frequent desire to uri
nate or pain in tbe baok, is also convinc
ing proof that the kidneys and bluddsr
are out of order.
WHAT TO 1)0.
There is comfort in tbe knowledge so
often expressed, tbat Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the Brest kidney remedy
fulfils every wish in relieving pain in the
baok, kidneys, liver, bladder and every'
part of tbe nrinary passages. It oor-
reots inability to bold urine and so aid
ing pain in passing it, or bad effects fol
lowing use of liquor, wine or beer, and
overcomes that unpleasant necessity of
being compelled to get up many times
daring the night to urinate. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Swamp
root is soon realized. It stands tbe
highest for its wonderful cures of tbe
most distressing oases. If you need a
medicine you should have the beat. Sold
by druggists, price fifty cents and one
dollar. You may have a sample bottle
and pamphlet both sent free by mail,
upon reoeipt of three two oent stamps to
oover ooBt of postage on the bottle.

LATEST FROM HAVANA.
New York , Feb. 23. A dlepatob to the

Tbe situation in Havana is more erave

preserve an impenetrable reserve, it is
learned tbat some of the best naval ex

tbe families will sail by the Olivette
tomorrow. This ia an indication that
those on the ground realize tbe possi
bility of trouble arising suddenly and
their inability to proteot women and
children if any outbreak ooours.
New York, Feb. 23.-A Herald dis
patch from Havana says:
Tbe further tbe inquiry into tbe causes
that led to tbe Maine disaster prooeeds
tbe more remote appear tbe obanoea
that any evidenoe will be discovered to
show tbat tbe disaster was due to an bo
oident. Those divers who penetrated
into tbe forward part of tbe wreck found
that tbe whole forward end of tbe abip,
from a point just abaft the forward tar-
ret, bad been twisted 15 or 20 degrees to
starboard. That part of the vestal was
a wilderness of debris and curled and
wisted plates. Tbe harp, and jagired
edges of some of tbe plates added danger
to tbe difflonltiee of tbe divers. In one
instaooe Ibey almost out throngh a rob
ber tube wbioh supplied the diver wKh
air.
One important discovery made was tbe
position of the bodies found in the wreok,
100 of whiob were floating about in the
torn compartments. A full soore of
these were examined by my informant.
All of them were in bammooki and all
bad tbe arms ourled upward. They
looked aa it the men had been startled
by some sudden shook of danger, and
were in the sot of reaching np for tbelr
hammock hooka to awing tbemseves on
deck when death eeme. Ibis seems to
cooflrm all tbat bas already been said
about there bavlog been two exploaiona
tbe flrat startling tbe men into tbe aot
of rising from their hammocks, tbe
other dashing out tbe lives.
Before tbe explosion tbe 10-inon msg-
silne waa looated on the atarboard
side, forward and beneath tbe forward
turret, What ia left of tbe magazine
seemes to have been driven toward tbe
port bow in a diagonal and upward dl
reotion.

The urgent necessity of having the
new works of defense at points of forti
float ion along the Atlantio and Oulf
ooasts completed at the earliest possible
day, in order that they may be prepared
to defend the ooasts against a possible
enemy, has prompted the war depart
ment to use every available means to
hasten tbat end, and as a result General
Merritt, in command of the department
of the East, will leave New York imme
diately on a tour of inspection of the
coast fortifioations, with the purpose in
view of giving imperative "rush" or
ders to the oontraotors in onarge at tbe
various points and in other ways pro
moting progress.

AVALANCHE AT LAKE BENNETT.
Trail Blocked and 200 Tons of Supplies
Burled.
xaooma, r eo. vis. two weeks ago an
avalanobe came thundering down tbe
mountain alopes at the south end of
Lake Bennett. An immense mass of ice
and snow was deposited on the trail
and 200 tona of supplies were Durried
many feet deep. Their owners bad
staoked them np together in what
seemed to be a sheltered spot while they
were wbipsawing lumber for boat-building.
Now they have left only the whip
saws, and are trying to dig out their
outfits.
So far aa on be learned no one was
injured by tbe avalanobe, though people
in tents not far away had narrow esoapes.
This news waa brought down by John

BABY LEFT IN A CHUKCH.
A Sensation In La Grande Over a Deserted
Baby.
A little baby boy was left In the vesti
bule of tbe Presbyterian obnreh Sunday
evening, says the La Grande Chronicle,
while Bev. It. M. Hayes was oonduot
ing services. His plaintive orying at
tracted attention and be was discovered.
The bright little fellow, who waa wraped
io blankets, is about eight to ten days
old, aod waa dressed in olean and good
clothing, and baa evidently bad carefal
attention. With him was found tbe fol
lowing note:
"February 20, 1898.
"I, James Donald, bave loat my wife
and have do relation here but my babe,

am going to tbe Klondike. I bave been

Those who baveeeeo tbe little stranger
and noted tbe eareful arrangement of
bis olotbing are ooovioosd tbat be bas

not impreesed with the Klondike theory
given in tbe note. Rev. and Mrs, Hayss

It is reasonably oertain thai tho mys

Tbe American Wool and Cotton Re
porter in a reoent number gives an in
staooe of the profits made in Southern
factories. Fifteen months ago, tbe mill
at Sumpter, S. C, was closed onaooount
of debt. Exaotly a year ago, tbe mill
company was reorganized and operations
resumed on money borrowed at a heavy
rate of interest. The results were aston
ishing, for during a year of remarkable
distress in the cotton spinning industry
all expenses, inoluding interest on tho
borrowed capital, were paid proptly aod
net earnings of Y per oent were turc ed
over to the stockholders. The capital
ization was $45,C0O, and the mill em
ploys 100 operatives. Moreover it has
bought all the raw cottou it needs for
this and the next season ; has oon tracts
enough to run on full time for seven
months, and expeots to deolare a 15 per
oent dividend for 1898. The Sampler
mill was not an exceptional earner, ac
cording to tbe statement of one of its
offioers, who ssid :
You think we did something remark
able to earn Yl per oent daring last
year, do yon? Well so we did, consider
ing the condition of tbe mill's finances
and conditions a year ago. But let me
tell you this was not tbe only mill in
South Carolina or North Carolina that
earned 1 per oent and more daring
tbe 1897 season. Some, most of them,
have nol "declared" auoh a dividend, but
tbey have "earned" it, and the owners
know it all tbe same. And the mills
this year, being in better condition than
