Often The Kidneys Are
Weakened by Over-Work.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
It used to be considered tlmt only
urinary and bludder troubles were to be
traced to the kidneys,
nut now modern
science proves that
nearly all diseases
have their beginning
in the disorder of
these most important
organs.
The kidneys fdter
and purify the blood
that is their work.
Therefore, when your kidneysavc weak i
or out of order, you can understand how j
quickly your entire body is anected and
how every organ seems to fail to do its
duty.
If you are sick or " feel badly," begin
taking the great kidney remedy, Ur.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon
its your kidneys are well they will help
all the other organs to health. A trial
will convince anyone.
If you are sick" you can make no mis
take by first doctoring your kidneys.
The mild and the extraordinary effect of
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
kidney remedy, is soon realized. It
btands the highest for its wonderful cures
of the most distressing cases, and is sold

SEA BATTLE
QUESTION OF

Paris Paper Says Firing Has Been

St. I'etersbu
mlrnl Kojestve
g, April 24. Vice Art-
isky continues his pol-
Icy of btrategli silence ami has nn
bwoied the ajhnlrnlty'B message or
Inst Saturday ipoinUng out the posl-
Hon ol the trench eovernment on
neutrality regulations only hy putting
to sea, giving no Intimation of his
plans or destination. Russian naval
circles would not be surprised if It
should develop that the squadron had
been nlieady two days or more on the
way north wnid when tho Instructions
were cabled to him, and that the ad
miralty was aware of this when the
message was sent asking the admiral
to move outside the three-mile limit,
if he happened to be in French terri
tory waters A prominent naval offi
cer here called the present stage of
afTairs "n game of nnval hide nnd
seek," and declared that the admiral
ty was justified in sending elusive dis
patches, especially as there was rea
son to believe that one motive of .la
pan in pressing the question was the
desire to learn the exact position of
Hojestvensky's squadron.
Not only the future of the war in
the far enst, but the fate of the whole
program of Internal reform, to which
Emperor Nicholas stands committed,
appears to await the issue of the ap
proaching sea battle between Rojest
vensky and Togo. The government
undoubtedly would be greatly
strengthened, at least for the mo
ment, by n victory decisive enough to
change the wnr situation.
Practically the Interior administra
tion is being conducted through a po
lice regime. Domiciliary visits and
arrests hy scores and hundreds arc
reported In every part of the empire
and meetings of all classes of the peo
ple are forbidden and broken up by
the police, under the direction of the
local governors.
Should Rojestvensky be defeated,
on the contrary, the liberals believe
that the bureaucracy would capitulate
and that peace and a constitution
would come.
In the meantime the Easter holi
days and May day are awaited with
extreme anxiety, both by the author
ities and the public. The social dem
ocrats and revolutionaries have
planned demonstrations on an exten
sive scale, and undoubtedly many of
them are armed with revolvers and
bombs, which have been smuggled In
to the country to fight the police and
troops in case they should attempt to
Interfere with the demonstrations.
There are many disquieting rumors
of disaffection of troops and the
names of regiments, even in the Im
perial guards, are given as having
been won over to the "cause of lib
erty." TOGO ASSEMBLE8 OFF FORMOSA.

Important Dispatch.
Manila, April 24. Three warships
are now off Corregidor island. It is
supposed hero that they are Japanese
vessels and that Rear Admiral Nash
Ishl is hourly expecting the arrival of
Vice Admiral Kamlmura.
Vice Admiral Togo's main fleet will
assemble south of Formosa on April
20. The Japanese consul here has
received a long cipher message con
cerning Kamlmura's squadron, which
Is expected today. The consul says
the ships will not enter Manila har
bor, but will cruise outside. There
is great official activity here. The
American admiral, the Japanese con
sul and the general in command have
held a conference. The admiral will
confer with Governor General Wright
today
Japanese Consul at Manila Receives
London, April 24. Beyond the re
port that from Kamranh bay the Rus
sian second Pacific squadron proceed
ed northward, there is no further
news of any kind nor confirmation of
the reported firing off Kamranh bay.
There have been rumors recently that
n portion of Rojestvensky' squadron
wa6 at Hainan, near the .promontory
of Lienchau. If these rumors are true
it is supposed the whole squadron may
reassemble there and endeavor in Chi
nese waters to continue coaling and
other preparations. Little attention
Is paid here to reported movements
of the Japanose warships. It is consid
ered that Vice Admiral Togo is not
likely to' lift the veil of secrecy ex
cept for the expreBa purpose of mis
leading. Russian Fleet Quits Kamranh Bay.
Paris, April 21--The minister of
colonies officially confirms the report
or the departure of the Russian squad
ron from Kamranh bay.. The Russian
admiral, previous tq his departure,

MILWAUKEE BANK PRESIDENT
IS A HEAVY DEFAULTER.
Says He Lost Money Speculating In
Grain and Stocks Run Begins on
First National and Wisconsin Tru3t
Company Cashier Goll Missing.
Milwaukee, April 2.. Frank G.
Higelow, until yesterday president of
the First National hank of Milwau
kee, was arrested, charged with the
embezzlement of over $10,000 of the
bank's funds. The arrest of Mr.
UIgelow followed his confession to
the board of directors of the bank
that he was u defaulter to the extent
of $1,450,000. Following Mr. Blge
low's confession he was removed from
the presidency of the bank and tho
facts In the case were lntd before tho
federal authorities.
The complaint wns t-worn to hy
United States District Attorney Hut
tertield. It charges that Higelow, aB
president of the F'rst National bank,
embezzled a sum exceeding $100,000
A complaint nnd warrant identical
with those in Hlgelow's cufc were
made out for Henry G Goll, nsslstant
cashier of the hank, but Goll could not
he found. President Higelow was
taken before United States Court Com
missioner Hloodgood. He waived hear
ing and was held to the federel grand
jury under $2t",000 bond Dr. Horace
N. Brown and Arthur N McGcoch
certified as sureties and Mr. -Blgelow
was released. Tho next federal grand
jury hns not yet been summoned.
President Blgelow's Confession.
President Blgelow's confession wns
made at a special meeting of the
board of directors, held Saturday
evening and continued Sundny. In ad
dressing his fellow directors, President
Bigelow snid he had n painful state
ment to make a confession that ho
had misdirected the funds of the bank
nnd that an examination of his books
and a comparison of figures would
show that he was Indebted to the
bank to the nmount of over $1,450,
000. This money, he said, had been
lost In speculation in wheat and
stocks. Not a dollar of it could be
recovered and tho only sum he could
offer toward recompensing the bank
were personal securities valued at ap
proximately $300,000.
The confession of President Bige
low astounded the directors of the
bank. Mr. Blgelow had been reedg
nized as one of the foremost finan
ciers of the northwest. He has been
associated with the bank in various
cnpacltles for more than fifteen years
nnd his business connections trust
companies, manufacturing concerns,
real estate deals and other slmllnr
ventures number scores. Ho was
honored a year ago by election to
the presidency of the American Bank
ers' association and hy Its members
was looked upon as a leader in finan
cial matters.
In making his statement to the di
rectors of the bank Mr. Blgelow said
he had becomo Involved in speculation
several months ago. This .was on Wall
street. More recently he had been a
persistent bull in the wheat market
and recent loss there had added to
heavy reverses on Wall street. From
small manipulations of the bank's
funds he had extended the defalca
tions until his shortage had reached
the present stage. He saw no oppor
tunity or possibility of making up the
r.mount and therefore confessed.
Run on the Bank.
Over $1,000,000 was sent to Milwau
kee by Chicago banks to reach the
city before the news of the defalcation
was made public. Several hundred i
thousnnd dollnrs in gold was trans-!
f erred to tho First National by local
banks, so that institution was pre
pared for the run that was expected.
When the bank closed Its doors
more than 2,000 depositors were clam
oring for their money. Nearly $1 000,
000 had been paid out In tjiq qojirs.0,
of two hours and but a small percent-
age of the customers demanding the
closing of their accounts had been
served. Tho throngs on East Wnter
street were besieging the Wisconsin
Trust company, the Savings bank de
partment of the First National bank,
and here the run assumed the great-'
est proportions.. But while many de
positors were seeking to withdraw
their funds, other people who believe
In the soundness of the bank were
nmin -. j, .lit. i- i.
coming forward with deposits.
President Blgelow's defalcation
amounts to about 11,450,000, but ho
restored 1300,000. Tho directors have
subscribed $1,635,000 more. Bigelow

securities to the bank. His total loss-
es In speculations of various hinds in
two years nre estimated by his friends
nt upwind of $3,000,000.

of the struggle.

HEART DISEASE.
nnn'l Lot ttio lilfit Tlmt Yon Itnvc It
Scnrr You Into NlfUiirnn,
Comparatively few people know that
It Is rare to Ilntl a perfect heartbeat.
What Is termed 'palpitation" Is an ir
regularity In the heat. It Is most com
monly caused by some disturbance of
the digestion; by undue Indulgence In
ten, coffee, tobacco or alcohol; by
worry or by excitement. Many per
sons, detecting such mi Irregularity,
think they have some serious disease
of the heart that mny end their life at
any moment. This is n very grave mis
take in n double souse llrst, ns to the
fact Itself, and, second, ns to the lntlu
eiiee on the health of such u morbid
Idea.
Again, there Is n notion tlmt heart dis
ease Is a destructive process; that the
flesh Is affected In niiicJ.' qo same man
nor as when the skin I ulcerated or
tlio bun's are coiisuinntlve. That Is
very seldom true. The most serious
disorders of the heart are quite differ
ent lu their nature.
When a man or woman Is under the
Impression that he or she has heart dis
ease there is one obvious duty to visit
a reliable doctor, have the heart ex
amined nnd either have one's fears set
at rest or be given such advice as will
serve to remedy the condition. Home
Notes.
THE PARSON BIRD.
Onr of the Queer Fenthered Inhnldt
niitn of New Zealand.
Among the feathered Inhabitants of
New Zealand there Is a bird culled the
purson bird, or tul. It is about the
size and shape of a blackbird, but him
a pair of delicate white tufts at its
tlirout and Is a glossy dark green oth
erwise, which looks black In the sun
light. It can be taught to crow, to
speak, to whistle tunes, nnd besides
these tricks It has ti repertory which
Is not often equnlcd by any other
feathered Bongster. At vespers It has a
note like the toll of a bell or the clear
high note of an organ. It can mimic
every bird In tho bush to perfection; It
will break off In the middle of an ex
quisite melody and Indulge in a strange
medley of Hounds which are Impossible
to describe, but If you can hunglne "the
combination of n cough, a laugh, a
sneeze, with the smashing of n pane of
glass," It will be some approach to tho
Idea.
The tul nests twice or thrice a year
and has large families. Like the other
birds of New Zealand, It seems to be
unconscious of danger from man. It Is
a pity that the birds of this island nre
becoming bo senrce, for they spenk to
us of a time when nature was harm
less, when the snakes, tigers and fal
cons did not exist.
The Hen nnd Her Etora.
The eggs of a Bcnvonger hen are not
fit to bo eaten. My attention wns call
ed to this a number of years ago. A
lady snid she could not out our eggs.
Kho wanted suntlowor eggs. I told her
we had the best eggs lu the country,
but she said that an old (icrmun at
home fed his chickens on sunflower
seeds and tlmt the eggs wero remarka
bly sweet. Some of the eggs wero sent
for, and this wns found to be truo.
Eggs certainly do partake of the nature
of the food which has been eaten.
