calling upon them to cease hos

that the power? will undertake'
the final solution of pending difficulties.
Austria and (rermany have'

conducted him to the Hritish!
legation and requested Mr. Kgerton,
the Uritish Minister, n(?t to
allow him to leave the lorntinn
before quitting At! -mis, in order
to prevent a demonstration.
It has been derided to send
Colonel Yassos to Thessaly, and
Col. Strains, with a new genera!
stall, will replaee Col. Manos in
Kpirus. Major Constantinides
will he sent to Romokos.
Iwo transport vessels have
been sent to \ olo to remove the
remaining inhabitants. The ammunition,
stores and food supplies
have already been taken to

It is rumored that the few
wounded Greek Soldiers who
were left at l'harsalas have been
butchered by the Turks.
HOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle or common water
glass with urine and let it stand
twenty-four hours; a sediment or
settling indicates a diseased condition
of the kidneys. When
urine stains linen it is positive
evidence of kidney trouble. Too
frequent desire to urinate or pain
in the back, is also convincing
proof that tiie kidneys and biadder
are out of order.
WHAT TO HO.
There is comfort in tin* knowledge
so of ten ex pressed, that Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the kidney
remedy fulfills every wish in re
Meving pain in the baek, hidneys,
liver, bladder and every part of
tin* urinary passages. It cut reels
inability to hold urine and scalding
pal.i in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor.,
wine 01 beer, and overcomes tiial
unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to get up many times
during tlie night to urinate. I Ic
mild and the extraordinary ? fleet
of Swamp-Hoot is soon realized.
