I no Kiar.eys are your blood purifiers, they fil ter out the waste or Impurities In the blood. If they are sick or out cf order, they fall to do their work. Pains, achesand rheu matism come from ex cess cf urio acid in the blood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel asThough they had heart trouble, bf cause the heart is over-working In pumping thick, kidney- poisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nea'ly all constitutional diseases have their begin ning in kidney trouble. If you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy Is soon realized.

HUMBOLDT ENTERTAINS KELLY Positive St. I.oola Alderman Believed to Have Been In that City. HUMBOLDT, Neb., 8ept. 22. (Special.)

According to the story told by the employes of ths barber shop of Fred Fisher, a man answering the description given of the above party drifted Into town Friday morning and stopped at the Central ho tel and, although being a man of appar ently good education, registered in such manner that the name was not legible. Landlord Todd of the above hotel says the man appeared to have no particular busi ness and the only business house he Is known to have visited Is the Flsber barber shop, where he called for and received a shave and then seemed very anxious to se cure a morning paper. None having ar rived at that hour, he asked if he could remain in the shop and upon permission being granted he seated himself and read a novel for the rest of the day until train time, when he took his departure for, the west. Harry Wilkinson, a brother-in-law of Flsber, and Mr. Knight, the barber who shaved the stranger, noted his peculiar actions after he had gone out, but did not think much about It until the Sunday Post Dispatch of St Louis came, with the pic ture and description, when they Identified him as the man wanted, as did also Land lord Todd. Wilkinson says the man had sandy hair anJ light complexion, weighed bout 160 pounds, height slightly less than ve feet nine inches. He waa smooth shaved, had uneven teeth, wore a Panama hat, light checked coat, . striped trousers, negligee shirt and box-calf shoes. He talked very little, but upon. being ques tioned said he waa In St. Joseph a few days previous. All who came In contact with the stranger unlta In the opinion that he fits the description of Kelly to a dot.
