They have been led to believe that womb trouble or female weakness of some sort is responsible for the many ills _ that beset womankind. Neuralgia, nervousness, headache,, puffy or dark circles under the eyes rheumatism, a. dragging pain or dul ache in the back, weakness or bearing down sensation, profuse or scanty sup ply of urine with strong odor, frequen- desire to pass it with scalding or burnt ing sensation, sediment in it after standing in bottle or cemmon glass for twenty-four hours, are signs of kidney and bladdertrouble. The abovw symptoms are often at tributed by the patient herself, or by her physician, to female weakness or womb trouble. Hence, so many fail to obtain relief, because they are treating not the disease itself, but a reflection of the primary cause, which is kidney trouble. In fact, women as well as men are ,made miserable with kidney and blad- der trouble and both need the same remedy. _ Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, is the great discovery of the eminent kidney and bladder specialist, and is easy to get at any drug store for fifty cents or one dollar. . To prove its wonderful merits, you may have a. sample .bottle , and book telling all about it, both sent absolute- ly free by mail.

PIERCE OCEAN GALES Big Liners Arrive'After Long. and Tempestuous Trips; THE Chini’s ROUGH EXPERIENCE. 9- Captain of the Paris Says the Pas- stage “7113‘ One of the Worst Ever Made—New York Slips Closed by\Ice. NEW YORK, Feb. 15.——The changing ' tide and the driving wind opened the . upper bay toward noon yesterday and made it possible for the ocean liners . coming into port to get to North river. There trouble began again, for the ice was jammed into the slips on the Man- hattan side as though some giant had taken a mammoth maul and hammered it between piers. ‘ Docking was a matter of delay that wore upon the spirits of the passengers, who were already nervous and irritable becauseof the prolongedvoyage through such trying weather. They fretted and chafed and sighed with satisfaction when the boats were finally warped in. Among the boats to come. up were the Paris of the American line, Etruria of, the Cunard line, Anchoria of the Anchor line, Algonquin of the Clyde line and Macedonia of the‘Wa-rd line. Every captain had a tale of blow and bluster to tell. From the time the liners left the other side until they reached this. shore the ocean did nothing but rage and threaten the destruction of the Ships that were upon its surface. Captain Wilson of the Anchoria said that nothing but western gales and heavy seas were encountered on the VOYage. The decks of his ship were swept repeatedly by big combers that bombarded the boat every minute. He lost seven boats, and the decks of the Anchoria were a mass of wreckage. John Smith, an able seaman, 44 years old, was smashed into the rail by a wave and died from his injuries. It was impossible to get the Paris in either of the slips of the American line, and she was finally tied up at the end of the dock. It was a hard task even then to land the passengers, as they were obliged to descend a very steep in- cline. Captain Watkins said that although the passage was one of the worst ever experienced by the steamer’s officers the Paris behaved splendidly and .proved. herself a stanch sea boat. The American steamer Catania also arrived in harbor after a most tempes- tuous and eventful passage. The Ca- tania left Glasgow Dec. 18 for New York and immediately ran into heavy weather. One gale followed another un- til the Catania became a disabled hulk on the ocean. The hurricanes came from the west, northwest and south- West with enormous combing. seas which swept the decks continuously, ‘ carrying aWay the boatSLand doing con- siderable damage about the decks. The ventilators and skylights were swept away, and the seas flooded. the engine 'fidbms.~wd holds, putting out the fires. ” The 'Catanialay in the trough of the (sea, rolling violently until the funnel Egivas carried away. While lying in this 9'condition the Atlantic ,Transport line ,jsteainer Mesaba, bound from New York fer London, hove in sight and bore down to the Catania, which had signals of distress and asked assistance. This .yvas in latitude 48, longitude 38. .1; Captain Furlong was asked to aban- ‘don his. vessel, the Mesaba promising to" take the crew of the disabled steam— er. .Thisoffer being refused, the Mesa- ba stood by for about 20 hours, but dur- ing the night disappeared in the storm. Thirty-six hours later the hold and engine rooms were freed of water, and steam sufficient to keep steerage way on the vessel ,was obtained. In the meantime a jury funnel was built of wood and iron, and the steamer was al- lowed to drift away before the gale and arrived at. St. Michael’s without assist- ance on the 6th. At St. Michael’s re- ‘pairs were effected, and the Catania sailed for New York Jan. 26, where she arrived without further mishap. The Adams Case. NEWST YORK, Feb. 15.—The inquest into the cause of the death of Mrs. Kate J.

Three witnesses have so far been called—Ro- land B.

' U ‘1 THE STORM ABATES. It Was a Record Breaker In Many States- NEW YORK, Feb. 15.—The storm of wind and snow passed out to sea yes- terday morning, and its departure was marked by a rise in temperature from 8 degrees at midnight to 16 degrees at sunrise. A bright sky and a marl-zed decrease in wind velocity sent the tem- perature to 20 degrees at 10 o’clock, and there was a. general opening up of loeal travel. The official weather report shows that New York city was kindly treated by the l-ig storm. Washington is snow bound and wind ridden in much worse fashion than this big city. At Jacksonville, Fla... they can boast of weather that was only if degrees above zero and at New Orleens 6 above. » ' . Vicksburg is proud of a record of 1 degree below and a high rate of wind.
