The Cause of Many
Sudden Deaths.
There is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so deeep-
"" III II Ml It a-b . .
uvc. many stamen
deaths are caused
by it heart dis
ease, pneumonia.
heart failure or
apoplexy are often
the result of kid
ney disease. If
kidney trouble is
allowed toadvance
thekidney-poison-ed
blood" will at
tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of
the bladder, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Itladder troubles almost alwavs result
from a derangement of the kidn'evs and
a cure is obtained quickest by u "proper
treatment of the kidnevs. If you are feel
ing badly you can make no mistake by
taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
It corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to go often through the day,
and to get up many times during the
night. The mild and the extraordinary
effec of Swamp-Root is soon realised.
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and
one-dollar size bottles. You rimy have a
sample bottle of this wonderful new dis
covery and a book that tells all about it,
both sent free by mail. Address, Dr. Kil
mer & Co., Uinghamton, N. Y. When
writing mention reading this generous
offer in this paper. Don't make any
mistake, but remember the name, Swamp
Root, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the
address, Binghamton, N. Y., on every
bottle.

SLAV FLEET DIVIDED
ADMIRAL TOGO'S SHIPS BETWEEN
RUS8IAN NAVAL FORCES.
Fifty-one Russian Ships Pass Singa
pore and Enter China Sea Some of
Fighting Vessels Are Absent and
Whereabouts Not Known.
Singapore, April 10. FIfiy-ono ships
of Vice Admiral llojestvensky's sec
ond Pacific squadron passed hero Sat
urday. The most Important fighting
vessels of the squadron, including tho
battleships Knlax Souvaroff, Alex
ander II, Boiodlno and Orel, with their
complement of cruisers and torpedo
boat destroyers, did uot arrive and
their whereabouts 1b unknown. A
French steamer arrived here with a
sailor belonging to the Admiral Nak
hlinoff, who foil overboard and wus
picked up In the Straits of Malacca
alter being twelve hours In the water.
St. Petersburg, April 10. There Is
reason to brieve that Vice Admiral
llojestvensky's entrance to the China
sea has been followed by orders for
the cruisers Gromohol, Rossla and
Uogatyr, which have been ready for
Bomo time at Vladivostok, to put to
sea. Whether It Is tho Intention to
Bend them south Immediately or to
hnhi thnm In the vicinity of Vladi
vostok Is not known. Their appear
ance outside the roadstead of Vladi
vostok would constltuto a potential
threat against Admiral Togo's rear,
which will compel the retention In
or dispatch of a number of heavy fight
ing bhips to Japanese waters. Thus
Admiral Togo seems to bo virtually
placed between two fires.
Tho peace Influences In the govern
ment urge that this favorable strat
egic position presents the psychological
moment for officially offering the olive
branch to Japan, reasoning that no
matter how confident tho Japanese
government may be or Togo's victory,
It cannot overlook the possibility of
defeat nor to appreciate me com
plete disaster which would transfer
Ihe mastery of tho sea to Russia.
With so much depending upon the Is
sue, they argue, both countries have
mutual Interest In avoiding an actual
test, and it Is not Impossible there
fore that a new move In the direction
of peace may come just as tho world
expects to hear the call to quarters
for the greatest naval battle of mod
ern times. Certainly the spirits of the
war party have been greatly raised by
Rojestvensky's success in penetrating
to the China sea and the prospect of
a naval battle, even with tho odds
against a Russian victory, which
would change the entire complexion
of tho situation, has arouBed some
thing like a flash of enthusiasm in
many Russian breasts. Some naval
Dfflcers express the opinion that Ro
lestvensky, having now safely navi
gated the straits, instead of sailing
north to meet the Japanese, can af
ford to calmly await Vice Admiral
Nebogatoff with his squadron, which
could arrive there In three weeks.
Daron Suyematsu's article In tho
London Outlook regarding Indemnity
coincides with Russia's Information,
'he amount demanded by Japan being
1500,000,000.
Rojestvensky's Whereabouts in Dark.
London, April 12. The mystery of
Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's where-
bouts is still unsolved and specula
tion on the possibilities of the situa
tion Is of tho keenest. The hypo
thesis of the newspapers this morning
Is that his six battleships slipped past
Singapore some night with lights out.
rhe Dally Telegraph's Singapore cor
respondent says: "All reports to the
contrary notwithstanding, only one
battleship, tho Slssol Vellky, passed
hero Saturday. No ships of tho Tsar
evitch type were with the squadron."
Clado Apologizes to Zllottl.
St. Petersburg, April 10. The pro
posed duel between Captain Clado,
formerly Rojestvensky's chief tac
tician, and Captain Zllottl. aide to
Admiral Avellan, head of tho Russian
admiralty department, has fnlled to
lake place, Captain Clado having satis
fied htmseir by Investigation that ho
had wrongly accused Cnptaln Zllottl
Df responsibility for the publication of
letter from Vice Admiral Rojest
eonsky severely reflecting upon him.
Cnptaln Clado has offered the amplest
apology, completing tho retraction by
publishing his letter of apology In all
the papers printing the first strictures.

MASONRY CRUSHES HUNDREDS.
Madrid Workmen Roused to Frenzy,
March With Black Flays.
Madrid, Match 10. Carrying black
banners, 5,000 workmen made a dem
onstration near the scene of Satur
day's reservoir disaster, In which 400
persons were killed or Injured. The po
lice on seizing the flags were stoned
by the crowd and several on both
sides wore seriously injured.
An exact estimate of the casualties
Is still Imposslblo. It is stated that
there were 23G men In tho lower part
of the reservoir, all of whom were
killed.
It appears that underneath tho
foundation of the reservoir which
gave way with such disastrous results
were water pipes used to supply the
palace and old Madrid. The vault was
built of cement, with iron girders, nu
were also tho supporting columns.
The first fall caused all the pillars to
bend and the end of tho iron work to
stretch, resulting In a general and
uniform collapse.
Workmen who have been questioned
say that they were compelled to build
too rapidly with materials so defective
that a disaster was bound to happen.
Many heartrending Incidents nnd
painful scenes arc reported. Ten of
those who were rescued allvo hnvo
gono mad. A huge crowd stood around
the scene throughout the night watch
ing tho attempts at rescue !n the light
of huge electric lamps.
