F The Lightning Beginning to Strike Close to the Throne?Other Capital Gossip. h ' Special Correspondence of 'PlfC* I Iftl'K'TV Rl'/'ATin AUCj VVV1U I !VbVU<?i/. I Washington, D. C.. September 21):?The li<:htmri? in the Post Oifiee Department investigation is beginning to strike about in / places close to the throne. Beavers, who has ?;iveii himself u p voluntarily after the police seemed to be unable to pet him, has Had Postmaster General I'avne subpoenaed to appear lo I appear a* a WIIIICM HI ?I?-? , and the F M G promptly repudiates the subpoena and refuses to appear. He says he is sick, and must perforce spend a lew weeks down at Virginia Hot Springs to recuperate his health. He probably knows loo much of the doings of his private secretary, Mr I 11 H Hand, in connection with I Beavers and Machen's industry in the grafting game in the Post I Office Department, and does not desire to be questioned under ! oath. In tact, he is doing all in his power to slop the publicity j of details of the Post Office DeI parlment scandal, and now he gives it out that the end is ir. sight and that there will be nothing more doing after the first of October. He knows lull well that there are tin. many membersl oi Congress and republican ieaders mixed up in ihe matter who must protect the looters, and some of them too much dread an investigation to allow the mailer i to proceed further. . Such a competent machine politician as the 1' M G knows that, the republican parly cannot receive any more such hard knocks as it has received by even a small part ol | the scandal thus exposed to public view, and survive the treatment. llow the tepiibltcau party leaders are praying thai something will turn tip to distract the minds ol' the minds ol the public from this nasty mess. See how the Beirut incident was seized upon to take the minds ol lire people from tlu scindais cropping out in the admiuistra-j 1 ilu f\}' iniuuriiiiioiil I *11111 Ul l 11 c niian.i Ml . The Panama Canal affair is also j being used to gel the mindsol the people from the rottenness ol the departments as administered by the republican party, but all in vain. Those little incident,, are but the wonder ol* a 11 hour, and the minds of the people wander back to their muttons, the scandals in the departments at Washington. Like Banquo's "host, they will not down, but return with perplexing persistency to plague an administration that is rotten to the core. The people have a specific lor this cancer on the b)dy politic if they will go to the polls and administer it. It is up to them. " There is considerable criticism here unions democrats who visit the national capital anent the methods being used by a man who has long been prominent in democratic circles in one of the big eastern states, and who has po^ed as one of its bosses, is his warfare on a most distinguished democrat of his own state. Those methods are considered to be nothing !e>s than baseless calumny and vicious slander. It is predicted that not only wilt such methods tail of their purpose, which is to kill oil' the further mention of the name ol this most distinguished democrat far the presidential nomination, but that the so-called democratic boss will soon find that he has someone with whom to deal who is his master, and that he will hear something drop that will not have f a v$ry pleasing sound to his ears. A word to the wise should be sufi f ,, 4 ' iicienl. If J have occasion to 5 I ^ X \ r^f'er to 1 l>is matter aiain I will call names and give details. Chap.lks i\. Edwards. . Via Vox.

Al! the blood in your body passes through ! your kidneys once every three minutes. fThc kidneys are your j blood purifiers, they filter out the waste or , impurities in the blood. ! If they arc sick or out | of order, they fail to do tl eir work. Pains, aches and rheu- i maiism come from ex- ' cess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected ' kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney- j poisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary j troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, I but now modern science proves that nearly | all constitutional diseases have their beginning 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. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases and is sold on.its merits by all druggists in fiftycent and one-dollar rizsample bottle by mail Homo of Swamp-itoot free, also pamphlet telling you how to find out if you have kidney or bladder trouble.
