HOW TO FIND 0|”.
Fill a bottle or common glass with
your water and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys;
if it stains your linen it is evidence of
kidney trouble; too frequent desire to
pass it or pain in the back is also con-
vincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.
WHAT To DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in‘curing rheuma-
tism, 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 un-
pleasant necessity of being compelled
to go often during the day, and get up
man y, times during the night. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-
Root is soon realized. It stands the high-
est for its wonderful cures of the most
distressing cases. If you need a. medi-
cine you should have the best. At drug-
gists 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 6900., Bingham-V
ton, N. Y. When writing bes'ure and
mention that you. ‘ read this generous

THE SITUATION AT ILOILO.
Armed Natives Prepared to Resist the
Forces of Gen. Miller,
Vancouver, B. 0., Feb. 10.——-Hong
Kong mail advices describe the situa-
tion at Ilo'ilo, when it was first expect-
ed that General Miller’s troops would
he landed, as follows:
For days armed natives have been
coming into town in a steady stream.
and fully two thousand soldiers, arm-
ed with Remingtons and Mausers have
taken possession of the church and
government buildings. Officers are
scurrying about on ponies, ammuni-
tion is being brought in from Male,
and an apparently stout resistance is
being provided for any landing attemp-
ted by the Americans.
Stores and banks are closed, the ex-
citement is intense. Outside of the
city are nearly ten thousand mixed na-
tives armedmwith knives and spears.
They are anxious to be allowed in the
city. In Negros, a nearby island, it is
reported that some twenty thousand
men are in arms awaiting the call.
Several schooners, loaded with men,
are daily entering the river. ,They are
not being interrupted. Day and night
preparations continue for a lively re-
sistance; Every hour of delay is made
to account in throwing up works and
barricading the streets, It is threat.-
ened that if ‘t‘he Filipinos should meet' 1.!
with defeat the town will be burn—
ed. .
The transport Francisco Reyes came
in on the ninth with five hundred and
fifty Filipino soldiers, who were allow-
ed to land without interference.
Altogether fifteen hundred soldiers
have been landed in this manner, and
this is not counting the hundreds that
have come from other islands on
schooners and small boats. Fully
twenty-five hundred men with riefis are
in the city.
The Spanish gunboat El Cano is still
lying just off the fort, and it was re-
ported that some two thousand stands
of arms had been landed by her.
Filipino Generals Flee.
Manila, Feb. 10.—The Filipino gen—
erals whose forces were so unmerci-
fully punished by General King’s bri-
gade iii the fighting last Sunday, near-
ly one thousand of them having been
killed in the attacks upon Santa Ana,
San Pedro and -Macati, to the south-
east of the city, are reported to have
fled to the interior in disguise to es-
cape violence at the hands of their
own people.
The officers in command of the main
body of insurgents have asked Agu‘in-
aldo to send them reinforcements, but
say they don’t want any more Taga—
105.
’With the exception of the general
advance of the American troops on
Sunday morning, which was made for
the purpose of teaching the Filipinos
a. lesson because of their attack upon“
our lines on the previous night, and!
our capture of the water works on
Monday, every forward movement of
our troops thus far has been imme-
diately provoked by an attack by the;
enemy. ' .._,.
The territory to'the east and south:
east of the city is now deserted by the
our ~"
in'Surgents far in advance of
lines. .
Reconnoitring parties are finding,r vil-
lages in every direction flying the white
flag, and there is every indication that-
the villagers have had quite enough of
the effective warfare waged by the
Americans. .
Interest now centers in front of Gen-
eral MacArthur’s division on the north
of the line, several regiments of Stu-.
lolos having reenforced the insurgents
at Caloocan, where they fired upon the
Americans from their intrenchments
for. half an hour last evening. -
The newly arrived native troops are
very aggressive and are much in need
of such a lesson as was given to their
companions in arms last Sunday.
Boom Prices in Iron.
Cleveland, Ohio, Feb. 10.——The iron
trade has moved farther up in the
past week, and is coming close to the
line that in the minds of many of the
leaders may not be crossed with safe—
ty. There is not the same conservatism
in all quarters that has been shown in
advancing ore and coke, or even Bes—
semer pig iron; and this fact, together
with the control of intermediate pro-
ducts, already exercised in some cases
and aimed at by pending negotiations
in others, presents some possibilities of
complications later.
Plate demand continues out of all
proportion to the ability of the coun-
try’s present capacity, and prices are
determined by the urgency of each in—
dividual want. Bridge and shipyard
work continues on an immense scale.
Structural mills are probably in bet-
ter shape to make deliveries than those
in any other line.
Big Fire in Saratoga. p
Saratoga, Feb. 10.-—Fire early yester-
day morning totally destroyed the Del-
aware and Hudson Railway depot here,
the depot restaurant and baggage
room, J. T. Sweeney’s hotel and gut-
ted Dwyer’s hotel. All adjoining prop-
erty was damaged, including bowling
alleys owned by J. M. Marvin.
James V. Snyder, night watchman in
the depot, was asleep and was burn-
ed to death. The fire caught from the
electric light wires in the depot. The
mercury was at zero and several fire-
men had their feet and hands frozen.
The ruins were burning at a late hour
last night. The loss is estimated at
- $60,000.
President’s Trip to Boston.
Washington, D. 0., Feb. 10,—The
president will leave Washington at 7
p. In. February 15, on a. special train,
for Boston, where he will attend the
banquet of the Home Market Club. He
will not decide until he reaches Boston
whether he will address the Massachu—
setts legislature.
Mrs. McKinley will not make- the
trip. Several of the speakers at the
banquet will be members of the presi-
dential party.
Coldest in Twenty Years.
Pittsburg, Feb. 10.—Ten degrees- ,be-
'low 'zero by the weather bureau ther-
mometer, and fifteen to-twenty degrees
below in more exposed places, was the
record here. This» lathe coldest it has-
been since January 3, 1879, when the
mercury dropped to twelve degrees be.-

WEDDING Passeiv‘rs;
Some Queer Customs That Are Observed
In Germany.
Giving wedding presents is an em
ferent- countries. Scotland’s penny
weddings were peculiar. They were
guests contributed shillings. and or-
casionally a half crown, and our of {liv-
sums thins collected the expenses or
the wedding feast were paid. Ger
many has a “pay wedding,” at which
the lbride receives her guests with .1
basin before her, in which each person
entering deposits a jewel, a silver
spoon or a piece of money. In some
parts of Germany the rule is that the
expenses of the marriage feast shall
be mef‘by each guest paying for what
he cats and drinks—a sort of European
plan weddingr you might call it.
The prices paid for dishes and drinks
are high, and the happy young coupis-
make a handsome profit out of their
wedding. often realizing a sum suffi-
cient to start them pretty nicely in life.
Often three hundred guests are pres-
ent a such a wedding. Sometimes the
flow of presents is in the other direc-
tion. In Poland, for instance, a girl
is not regarded eligible for marrilze
until she .has.wrought with her own
"lianclssclotli and garments for the
‘rie'mls who will accompany her fut-
ure lord to the altar. But in most
countries the wedding present system
is similar to that which is familiar
here, and which has become a serious
tax.

“There’s been a wonderful advance
in dental surgery of late years,” said
a man with a slightly swollen jaw.
“The old, brutal Way of yanking out
molars by main strength and awk-
wardness has gone out of date. I had
a tooth pulled this morning, and the
whole thing was so quiet and easy I
could scarcelv believe it had been done.
I took a whiff of gas and opened my
eyes to find the tooth gone. I didn’t
even see the orceps. It was in strong
:ontras-t, by the Way, with an experi-
ence of min. some years ago, when
painless dentistry was still in its ex-
perimentul stages. I had a back rtootli
that was giving me fits, and went to a
man who advertised painless extrac-
tion by means of what were called
‘electrical forceps.’ It was a compli-
cated foreign device, long since aban-
doned, that sent a current along the
instrument just as it took hold. The
dentist was a candid looking chap, and
I asked him to tell me honestly whetlr
er it would hurt. ‘W’ell,’ he said, ‘it’s
like this: Suppose a fellow hit you
in the mouth with his fist. and at the
same time hit you on. the nose with a
brickr—yOII‘wouldn’t feel the fist, would
