Often The Kidneys Are
Weakened by Over-Work.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
It used to be considered that onlv
urinary and bladder troubles were to be
traced to the kidneys,
but now modern
science proves that
nearly all diseases
have their beginning
in the disorder . of
these most important
organs.
The kidneys filter
and purify the blood
that is their work.
Therefore, when your kidueysare weak
or out of order, you can understand how
quickly your until u body is affected nnd
how every organ seems to fail to do its
duty.
If you are sick or " feel badly," begin
taking the great kidney remedy, Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon
as your kidneys are well they will help
nil the other organs to health. A trial
will convince anyone.
If you are sick") ou can make no mis
lake by first doctoring jour kidno.s.
The mild and the extraordinary eflVct'of
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
kidney remedy, is soon icnlicd. It
stands the highe.it for its wonderful cure
of the most distressing casts, and is hold

How manifold ar the toenea and
vents in Scripture which ho clearly
revc.il to us Cod and IIIh love and our
el voi and our sinfulness! All our
righteousnesses are only lllthy rags,
nd we must be born from above; wo
re actual sinners, but wo may become
wells of living water; we are utterly
Impotent, but without human lnstru-1
mentality or ordinances lie can niako
us whole; lie can satisfy our hunger
nnd use us to feed the hungry. And,
now we are reminded that we arc'
blind, but He can give us sight and
use us to open the eyes of others, hike,
tills man. we were born blind, by na
ture children of wrath, dead In slits,
without Christ, having no hope and
without Cod (Hph. II. !!. 5. lilt, blinded
by the god of this world, wretched and
miserable and poor and blind and nu
ked (1 1. Cor. I v, 1; Ke. III. 17), our lives
nil waste and void and dark, but Cod,
who commanded the light to shine out
of darkness, can shine In the darkest
heart (Con. I, 'J; II Cor. Iv. (!).
It is to this day a common belief
that If any one Is atllletod there must
have been some ludi Idual sin back of
It, some reason for the alllictlon or
trial, but our Lord's reply on this ocen
Blon Indicates the groundlessness of
ouch a supposition. While all are shi
ners and sin Is at the root of all suf
fering and some suffering may bo
caused by particular individual sin, as
In the case of tho Impotent man (John
v, 14), yet If parents have blind or
deaf or dumb or palsied children there
Is no irood reason for thluklnir that
.... ... ... . .,.!

parents lies back of it.
The sickness anil death of Lazarus,
the brother of Martha and Mary, and'
all tho sorrow of the sisters wore for
the glory of Cod, that the Son of Cod
might be glorltled thereby (John xl.
4). Who would not be willing to bo
material on which the Son of Cod
might show Ills power and work the
woiksof Lliui that sent IliinV (Verso 4.)
Thinking of lllin as tho Carpenter of
Nazareth, one has said: "I pray, O
Mnstor. lot me lie as on Thy bench tho
favored wood; Thy plane, Thy saw,
Thy chisel ply and work mo Into some
thing good."
He, the living word, Is the light of
the world (I, 5); vlll, 12; xli, 4(5); the
written word which all speak of 111m
is also a light (Is. cxlx, 10.", V.W), and
those who are born of the Spirit and
tlio word, Into whose hearts the light
has shone, being tilled with the Spirit
nnd the word, are the light of tho
world because of the life of Jesus
made manifest in them (Matt, v, II,
10). We are nothing and can do noth
ing apart from Him. Ho must do it
all, yet Ho pleases to use sometimes
human Instrumentality. Is not the
clay, made of the earth and something
from Ills mouth, suggestive of tho shi
ner born by the word of Cod? lie put
the clay on the eyes of the blind man
nnd. sent him to Siloam to wash It oil
nnd thus receive his sight. lie who
loved to speak of Himself as "sent of
God" (thirty-four times in this gospel)
sent the man with tho clay on his eyes
to wash It olT in Siloam, which means
"sent" (verso 7). Being born of Cod,
He uses us to open other blind eyes,
provided we are willing to bo washed
off, to fall back Into Him who sends
and uses us. that lie may bo glorilied.
We have the treasure In earthen ves
sels that the excellency of tho power
may be of (Jod and not of us, for wo
are not sufliclent to think anything na
of ourselves, but our Hiitliclcucy Is of
God (II Cor. Iv, 7; ill, r.). If wo would
be used of God we must bear Him say,
"Behold, as the clay Is In the potter's
hnnd, so are ye In Mine hand," nnd we
must reply, "O Lord, Thou art our Fa
ther, we are the clay and Thou our
potter, and wo all are the work of Thy
band" (Jor. xvlll, 0; isa. lxlv, 8). The
least desire on the part of the clay to
be framed or inado anything of may
prevent our being used, for no flesh
ball glory In His presence.
The man who had been blind was so
changed that some of his neighbors
hnrdly know him. I, too, have soon
Just such a change In many sinners
after the light shono In. In a recent
letter from Porto Ulco Mrs. Ferrando
writes: "It Is wonderful to see how tho
entrance of the truth cIiiiiil'hs ilm
whole person. Even the faces seem !
not tho same, so groat Is tho change of '
expression which comes Into them." Is '
It not written that "If any man We In '
Christ ho Is a now creature; old things
are passed away; all things are become
new?" (II Cor. v, 17.) And unless '
there Is in some form a very manifest
change Is there not reason to inquire
If there Is really a new creation? Ono
must be nble to say, "One thing I
know that, whereas I was blind, now
I see" (verse 25). j
This new life Is, however, so costly
I mean the manifestation of It, the open
confession of It that many aro not
willing to pay the price. Seo what It
cost this man reviling and excommu
nication (versos 23, !U, mnrgln), but
even that led to. fuller revelation of
Christ? Tho cost of our "reilemptlon
fell wholly upon Christ, but the cost
of dlsctpleshlp falls upon tho believer,
for the Master said, "Whosoever be bo
of you that forsaketh not all that ho
hath ho cannot bo My dlsclplo" (Luko
xlr, tW). "Tho servant Is not greater
than his Lord; If they have persecuted
Me they will also persecute you" (John
xv, 20). How pitiful to bo blind nnd
yet fancy we see! Far better to know
wc are bllud and cry: "Lord, thnt I
might receive my sight I" "Open Thou
mine eyes!" (Verses 80-41.)

Being Killed.
Denver, March 13. With iage be

whkh K. Kill, tho man whom he pro
nounced his bitterest enemy, had been
victoiioiife, and bweatlng vengeance

The dead: K. Fill, Mrb. K. 1 'ill,
Georg Schlstler.
The missing: A child of the Fills.
Wounded: Dr. Fiank Duiin, police
surgeon; Captain William IJohaunn,
acting chid ot police; Mike Kelly.
The wife of George Schlstler is
prostrated over the affair and may
tile from tho shock.
Schlstler's Aim is Accurate.
Schlstler had blooded over his
troubles with tho Kill family, who
woie immediate neighbors, and an
nounced that he would even up mat
ters. Taking a rifle and buckling on
a belt of cartridges ho slatted for tho
Fill homo. Fill snw Schlstler ap
proaching and tried to avoid him by
entering the house, hut Schlstler sent
a bullet into his brain and Fill fell
dead. Mrs. Fill rushed to her hus
band's side and received a bullet from
Schlstler's rifle, fired with unerring
aim. She. too, fell dead alongside
the lifeless body of her husband.
Schlstler then set flro to the Fill
home, which was destroyed. A son of
the Fills Is missing and Is believed to
have perished In tho flames.
Barricades Himself in His Home.
Satisfying himself that the tinmen
would perforin their mission, Schist
lor returned to his own homo and bar
ricaded himself Inside. Jn the mean
time neighbors appeal er."n the scene,
but quickly ictreated when bullets
from Schlstler's rifle began falling
near them. An ambulance with Police
Surgeon Diillu, Captain llohaiuia and
three officers hurried to the scene.
Upon the arrival of tho ollleers nnd
before they could leave tho ambulance
a rain of bullets foil about them. Du
iin and Ttohanun fell to the floor of the
ambulance wounded. The driver
reined In his horses, when another
shot from Schlstler dropped ono of
tho animals to the ground. With the
assistance of spectators tho wounded
men were removed from tho scene.
Dulin was shot throe times and his
condition is critical. Dohanna re
ceived a bullet In the leg, but Ib not
dnngerously hurt.
Slayer Is Killed.
A call for reinforcements brought
all the available men from police
headquarters. Firing squads were
stationed in nearby houses and a
larger force was placed In a portablo
fort, mnde of baled hay piled on a
hay wagon. During the preliminary
arrangements Schlstler kept up a con
tinuous fire iu all directions. This
was returned by the ofllcers and hun
dreds of shots were exchanged. Kelly
was slightly wounded. Finally Schlst
ler ceaped firing and the ofllcers
charged tho house and battered down
the door. They found Schlstler lying
upon a hod, bleeding from several
wounds. He died soon nfterwards.
Mrs. SoWstler was away from homo
at tho tlmo, and when she learned of
the affair fell prostrate It Is thought
she will die from the shock.
VERDICT OF MURDER FOUND.
Coroner's Jury in Stanford Case at
Honolulu Finds Evidence of Crime.
Honolulu, March It. Tho coionor's
jury returned a verdict that Mrs. Jano
Lathrop Stanford died an unnatural
death. The verdict says that death
waB duo to strychnine poisoning, tho
poison having been Introduced into a
bottle of bicarbonate of soda with
felonious intent by some person or
persons to the Jury unknown.
Tho end of the inquest with a pos
itive verdict of murder leaves the po
lice of Honolulu as much without a
clue as when Mrs. Stanford died.
High Sheriff Henry said after the In
quest that it was his opinion that tho
strychnine was placed In tho soda In
San Francisco by a member of Mrs.
Stanford's Household.
At the Inquest Dr. Shorey testified
that tho strychnine used, as shown by
the tests, was n stochnlne such as 1b
not used generally for medicinal pur-
poses, but used principally for poison
ing animals. This statement is re
garded as of posnlblo assistance In
trncing the purchase of tho strychnine.
Tho Jury returned Its verdict nfter
about two minutes' deliberation.
