KIDNEY AND BLADDER
TROUBLES PROMPTLY CURED
A gaaasle Settle Seat $ r alall.
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kid
ney remedy, fulfills every wish In promptly
curing kidney, bladder and uiie acid
troubles, rheumatism and pain la the back.
It corrects inability to tol1 waxer and acald
Ing pain In paaalng it. or b effects follow
ing the use of liquor, wine or beer, and
overcomes that unpleasant neceeslty of
being compelled to go often during the day
and to get up many times during the night.
The mild and extraordinary effect of
Swamp-Root is soon realised. It stands the
highest for Its wonderful cures of the most
distressing cases.
Bwamp-Root is not recommended for
everything, but If you have kidney, liver,
bladder or uric aclld trouble you will find
it Just the remedy you need.
It you need a medicine you should have
the beat. Bold by druggists In fifty-cent
and one dollar alses. Tou may have a sam
ple bottle of this great kidney remedy.
Swamp-Root, and a book that tells you all
about It and Its great cures, both sent abso
lutely free by mall. Address Dr. Kilmer a
Co., Blnghamton. N. T. When writing be
sure to mention that you read this generous
offer In The Omaha Dally Bee. Don't
make any mistake, but remember the
name, Swamp-Root. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp

drew at Chicago, he was the center of
attraction.
"I did want to go to the St Louis con
vention." he said, "but since Webster
went to Chicago and failed to receive the
nomination for vice prealdent, I believe I
owe it to my well wishing friends to stay
out of sight of the convention. I believe
the convention would not think hard of
ms if I failed to come, for when I am
notified of my nomination of course likely
I will have to go to New Tork or some
where, and then a large number of them
can get a chance to see me. In fact I feel
sure It would be better to show myself
after the nomination than before. - It would
seem a good deal more dignified too.
"Of course, since Webster Is out of the
race I haven't much of an excuse for re
fusing the nomination, but Just at this time
I am pretty busy, and I wonder If the
committee would mind coming out to
Columbus to notify meT It might help
In my home ward out there If a big
enough crowd puld come along."
And that was as serious as Judge Sulli
van would get about the vice presidential
proposition,, but when he was aaked If he
would be a candidate for governor, he got
very serious and he answered "No" very
emphatically.
Many Crlsaiaal Cases.
The laat session of the supreme court
before the adjournment for the summer
will begin tomorrow. Chief Justice Hoi
comb. Judge Bedgwlck and Judge Barnes
having been in consultation this after
noon. The docket contains six criminal
cases that are up for hearing the first
day, an unusual number for one term of
court. They are: John Blair of York
county, who .was sentenced to the peni
tentiary for statutory assault upon Beu
lah Thomas, whom he waa afterwards
charged with kidnaping and keeping at
his home to prevent her from testifying
against him. This case haa exclfed much
lntereat for the reaaon that the girl first
denied on the witneas stand that Blair bad
had criminal relations with her, and then
during the argument of tha attorneys
asked permission to change her testimony,
which was granted , her, , With the result
that Blair was convicted. '
. Alexander Blair, charged with killing his
employer in Cedar county, Is asking for
a reversal of the lower court; Smith and
Qaughan of Douglaa county, who were
sent tip for seven years each for holding
up and robbing a man of $6 dents, don't
want to serve their terms; neither does
Mollne, who was convicted because the
lower court thought he had practiced
tricks, that were not according to law In
disposing of soma farm property. Fergu
son, who was sent up for larceny, is an
6ther one who wants a reversal. The
Zoabel case from Kearney, wherein the
plaintiff was fined for refusing to allow
a negro woman to eat in his restaurant,
thinks the fine was unjust and has aaked
tha supreme court to think the same way.
It Is very probable that the decision In
the Lilly caae will be handed down at thla
session. This case baa been In the hands
of the court for a number of months, but
it has required much time, owing to the
large amount of testimony that had to
be gone over. Judge Sedgwick is writing
the opinion and it Is not doubted that It
will be hsnded down. Inasmuch as this Is
the laat terra of the court until Septem
ber. Mrs. Lilly was convicted and sen
tenced to life Imprisonment from Butler
county for themurder of her husband.
Game Wardens Get Basy.
Oeme Warden. Carter's deputies, Smith
and Hunjer, made a little trip to the
mouth of Weeping Water, In Otoe county,
last Saturday, and as a result D. N. Noels.
C. B. Buess and Henry Klrchner were ar
rested and fined $50 and costs each, and
the law took possession of a seine 12x140
feet. The game warden and his deputies
have been relentless in their enforcement
of the law against illegal fishing and hunt
ing, and to date they have caused the
payment of fines since January 1 amount
ing to J8H.80, twice as much as has ever
before been collected la the same length
of time. "
tsyta . Off Warrants.
Treasurer Mortensen tomorrow will col
lect In warrants to .the amount of $60,.
000, for whloh he issued a call some weeks
ago. At this time the treasurer haa only
$30,000 with which to pay out the $50,000,
but he knows where to get the rest,' so
parties holding the warrants called for are
urged to come on In with them.

are enjoyed, how they sustain, how they
nourish I Then, and only then, you
