Often The Kidneys Are
Weakened by Over-Work.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood!
It used to be considered that only
urinary and bluddcr troubles were to be
traced to tltu 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 kidneysare weak
or out of order, you can understand how
quickly your entire body is affected and
how every organ seems to fail to do its
duty.
If you are sick or " feel badly," begin
faking the great kidney remedy, Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as sewn
as your kidneys are well they will help
all the other organs to health. A trial
will convince anyone.
If you arc sick you can make no mis
lake by first doctoring your kidneys.
The mild and the extraordinary effect of
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
kidney remedy, is soon reali.ed. It
stands the highest for its wonderful cures
of the most distressing cases, and is sold

BOY IS HIS OWN HANGMAN.
Youthful Murderer Will Spring the
Trap Himself.
Lincoln, May 30. Frank Barker, a
boy murderer, confined In the peniten
tiary here ui.der sentence of death,
will touch the button which will
Bprlng his own death trap. Because
Warden Beemer, the official hangman
for tho state, whose duty It is to
spring the trap at all legal deaths in
Nebraska, is too tender hearted to per
form the "operation" on the boy,
young Barker has volunteered to be
bis own hangman.
"I'd just as soon do it as not," saia
Barker, when asked about the report
"I might jUBt as well touch the button
as anybody else. I've got to die, any
way, and if Warden Beemer, who has
been good to me since I have been
here, doesn't want to hang me I will
save him the trouble and do it my
self." Barker is not yet twenty years old,
and was found guilty of one of the
worst crimes ever recorded in the
state. For the sake of the few dol
lars they possessed he deliberately
killed his own brother and his broth
er's wife at their home, where he him
self was staying without paying board,
buried the bodies in the cattle shed,
and then took possession of the resi
dence and farm, giving out the story
that his brother had gone to Denver
to live and had given him the entire
property.
Young Barker was engaged to mar
ry a girl in the neighborhood, but the
girl had told him she would not mar
ry until he owned a home. Within
twenty-four hours after the double
murder, and wearing the shirt
stained with his brother's blood, Bar
ker went to his sweetheart's house
and told her he now owned a home
and was ready to claim his bride. But
before the ceremony could be per
formed neighbors had begun to sus
pect that all was not right at the Bar
ker home and started a search, which
resulted in the finding of the dead
bodies.
Frank was arrested, after a search
lasting two days through the country.
He was taken to Red Cloud to Jail,
and three different attempts to lynch
him were made by farmers. His trial
lasted only a few hours, the evidence
being so overwhelming against him
thnt the Jury returned a terdivt
without leaving their seats.
He Won Kaatlr.
Mr. Subbubs You know you're only
talking nonsense. What do you want

dozen gowns, all of them much hand

When You Buy
SPOONS
y the best if you want to practice real
economy; there is no article of silver
ware so expensive in the end as depart
mental, hardware, or "general store"
spoons.
We carry nothing but the very best
Sterling Silver and Silver-plated ware;
stock such as is found only in a first
class jewelry store, and yet our prices
are low, quality considered. We are not
satisfied to make a big per cent on a
single sale, but want the volume of busi
ness and advertising that comes from
selling good goods cheap.
