This is both pain ful and dangerous, and Foley's Kidney Cure should be taken at the first sign of danger, as it corrects irregularities and has cured manv old men of this disease. Mr. Rodney P.urnett, Rock Port, Mo , writes: "I suffered with enlarged prostate giand and kidney trouble for years and after taking two bottles of Foley's Kidney Cure 1 feel better than I have for twenty years although I am now !il years old." F 0. Frlcke & Co. Counties Must Furnish Their sonal Schedules. The Lincoln News, contains the fol lowing which Is of Interest to county assessors: "County assessors are labor Ing under the mistaken Idea that the state Is uolnu to furnish them with general personal property schedules, and letters asking for these blanks continue to come Into tho oftlce of Secretary liennett. As a matter of fact, the state will not furnish these blanks, and It Is plainly stated on the other scheTiules sent out that only samples of this particular blank deslg nated as "Form 1" will be furnished Each county will have to print these blanks. The state gives them the copy, or sample, and that is as far in this line as the state will go. All other blanks and records to be used In the assessment are furnished by the state, and have been sent out "The assessment proper does not be gin until April 1, but the board has been after the county assessors to keep them busy the year around, so the work will be , better done, and It may be possible that shortly Secretary Ren nett will take a trip over the state to confer with the county assessors. The law provides the railroads must have their renorts tiled by April 15. Most of the roads have written In fur blanks, and it Is believed there will be no de lay this year, as there has been In the past, during which time the eompanie: were getting familiar with the statis tics wanted and digging them up." A Curious Expedition. More than two hundred physicians wisli to studv the sea sickness, ami this time selected themselves as suit able material for experiments. An extended ocean trip is planned and every member is expected to get the sickness and to try all remedies sug gested to him by others or selected by himself. The result of this sclentilic excursion wi 1 then be submitted to medical authorities for further re search. We remember that during the last year several persons published letters in different newspapers that during their voyage they found Triner's American Elixir of Hitter Wine to be the best preventive of, and the best remedy In, sea sickness. This can be easily explained, because it always in creases the strength of the stomach and of the nerves. It makes all or gans of digestion to work In harmony and we know many cases where this remedy made the stomach to accept food which could not be borne before. We all know that pure and rich blood depends on a thorough digestion of our food; and we should know that Triner's American Elixir of Hitter Wine Is the only remedy upon which vou can rely In every case.

The Sioux City Tribune unmasks a trick of the railroad politlcaiis In this Ise: "There will be no disposition on the part of either friends or opponents of Congressman Hepburn In Iowa to oubtthe report that he was happy yesterday after the passage of the ad ministration rate bill to which the name or Heptiuru has without full warrant been attached. No doubt his face Iteamed. It probably shone no less resplendently than tho red carnation that glowed In the lapel of his coat. Why should he not be delighted? For had ho not executed one of the cleverest coups of his long career In congress? Had he not acquired a plausable argument to show he Is not a representative of the railroads, as he has been generally re garded In his own district? And did he hot do this without In anyway risk ing the friendship for him of the rail road Interests? Let It not he forgotten that last winter, before It was known the house of representatives could not be con trolled by the railroads, Congressman Hepburn Introduced a railroad rate hill which was the veriest subterfuge. It was so manifest an attempt to bunco the people with bogus legisla tion that It was Immediately branded for what it was. "That Is the bill that expresses the real sentiments of Congressman Hep burn. After It was turned down w ith out even careful consideration, the Ksch-Townsend administration mens urc was passed by an almost unanl mous vote. "Such changes as were made in the house by the election of l'.iol only served to strengthen the administra tion's support. Was It not manifest to everybody that the administration railroad rate bill would without tin shadow of ;i doubt get almost, the solid vote Of the house at tills session? Now under these circumstances, of what value to the railroads would it have been for Hepburn to butt his head against the stone wall of t he adminis tration's following? Since such an experiment would only bo harmful to himself, and since a revolt hail arisen In Ills dlstaict, why not get on to the band wagon? Special interests keep close to the band wagon. If they can t drive it, they at least take a seat, so tliey can be in a position to take the reins again at the lirst op portunity. "In view of Hepburn's reputat ion as ;i friend of the railroads, it Is perhaps not surprising that he has long been a member of the interstate commerce committee of the house, and It was by virtue of seniority that he has now be come chairman. As chairman he had the opportunity to appropriate unto ntimrt k makkkts.
