H | I UNE will he $1.00 a year , if paid in ad-
J i vance. All arrearages on subscription
11 will be received on the basis of a dollar a
Jf year * This will make a considerable
,
jl I saving to all those that are a number of
K | I years in arrears , and should stimulate

B | ' | scriptions. It is our purpose to bring the

Iff Senator Allison predicts a
Hll strong fight in the senate against
Hj : the annexation of Hawaii , and in-
Hjj | ! timates that the scheme may be
HJ | defeated. But , conceding that
Hj | | Mr. Allison's apprehensions are '
Hl well grounded , there is really no '
Hi cause for consternation. The 1
Hi | United States has managed to get ]
Hill on without Hawaii for a hundred
years or such a matter , and would
I not go to the dogs if the proposi-
i. tion to absorb the Kanakas were
I ! turned down by the senate , which
IJ has done a great many worse
IJ things than that would be.
I j / The president strongly urges the
I ! necessity of a change in currency
1 ! laws which will release the govern-
1 ! ment from the obligation of paying
1 out gold in settlements without im-
ll posing the same obligations upon
I ; its debtors.
1 He questions the advisibility of
K | recognizing the belligerency of
II Cuba and recommends that Spain ,
I under the Sagasta ministry , be
M given a fair trial along present
II lines of reform , promising at the
II I same time vigorous action in be-
I half of the island if promised re-
1 forms are not carried out and an
if honorable settlement of the war

R Annexation of Hawaii is advo-
I cated and an early ratification of

I . bimetallic commission is explained ,
I and the belief expressed that soine-

ARE YOU NERVOUS ?
Mrs. C.C.Fil- (

Columbus , O. ,
writes to Dr. \
Hartmau of
, i
Columbus , O. ,
as follows : "For ?
ten or fifteen j
years I have i
been subiect to >
nervous dyspepsia. I would have spells y
of quivering in my stomach , with smothering - ?
ering feelings. My nerves were terribly ?
debilitated. I was suffering from what
is called nervous prostration. My stomach - i
ach felt bloated , and I was constantly v
weak and trembling. I consulted several - \ \
al physicians who treated me without '
doing any good. I had almost given up
in despair when I heard of Fe-ru-na. It fi
was about six years ago that I first took
Pe-ru-na. I found it an immediate relief J
to all my disagreeable sj'mptoms. Itis the '
only medicine that has ever been of any *
use to me. " Mrs. Lucie Waldie , Otsego *
Lake , Mich. , Box 67 , writes : "For three {
years I suffered with catarrhal dyspepsia , (
I wrote to you for advice and you told i
me to take your medicines. It has been i
ten months since I began to use 3 our I
medicines and I am perfectly well. I 3
think i your medicines deserving of much Jj
praise. : " 4

\ ONE OF TWO WA YS. I
[ The bladder was created for one pnrpose , fl
; namely , a receptacle for the unne , and assuch H
. it is not liable to any form of disease except 9
by one of tw o ways. The first u av is from iin- < JH
perfect action of the kidneys. The second
way is from careless local treatment of other H
diseases. 1
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys is H
the chief cause of bladder troubles. So the fl
womb , like the bladder , was created for one H
purpose , and if not doctored too much is not H
liable to weakness or disease , except in rare H
cases. It is situated back of and very close to "
the bladder , therefore any pain , disease or inconvenience - * - - |
convenience manifested in the kidneys , back , H
bladder or urinary passage is often , by mis- H
take , attributed to female weakness or womb B
trouble of some sort. The error is easily made
and may be as easily avoided. To finu out
correctly , set your urine aside for twenty-four H
hours ; a sediment or settling indicates kidney Her
or bladder trouble. The mild and extraordinary -
nary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root ,
the great kidney , and bladder remedy is H
soon realized. If you need a medicine fl
you should ha\e the best. At all druggists fl
fifty cents and one dollar. You may have a H
sample bottle and pamphlet both sent free by H
mail. Mention The Tribune and send your H
address to Dr. Kilmer & Co. , Bmghamton , N. X
