Thousands Hare Kidney Trouble
and Don't Know it.
How To Find Out.
Pill a bottle or common glass with your
water and let it stand twenty-four hours; a
^ y sediment or set-
r . tling indicates an

tv ^ (ion of the kid .
neys; if it stains
your linen it is
evidence of kid-
V ney trouble; too
frequent desire to
pass it or pain in
the back is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and blad

What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
Often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-
Root the great kidney remedy fulfills '•very
wish in curing rheumausm, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing

Wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.

Great Interest In First Jrip Between
St. Loui^ and Kansas City—Pictur
esque Period Recalled—Revival la
Chiefly For Freight.
Thi? enthusiastic encouragement giv
en by the cities along the Missouri
river to plans for the re establishment
of steamboat lines for freight tratlic is
u promise of revival of one of the most
picturesque features of early western
life. The course of the immigrant was
not all on land. Thousands made much
of the westward Journey on the double
decked stern wheelers that noisily pud
dled their way up and down the MLs-
souri and other interior rivers. Valua
ble cargoes of furs and buffalo robes
were carried on these boats, and the
trailic was a strong rival to early rail
way lines.
Of late years the steamboats have
been abandoned except on the Ohio
and Mississippi, where one may yet
find a touch of the old time pleasures
and the flavor of eighteenth century
romance in the troublous passage of
the little fleets, says the Independent.
But us a factor on the other streams
so far as freight is concerned the pres
tige of the boat lines has vanished.
Where over fifty packets ran regularly
between St. Louis and Sioux City not
one remains. It seems to have been
accepted without argument that the
railroads were all sufficient for any
traffic that might lie needed.
Of late the political economists of the
west have been studying the railway
rate problem and have noted the vast
exp Miditures In the east for canal con-
str ction and river Improvement to the
en». that there might be secured a rival
foi the railroads that would compel a
lo zer rate than would be charged if no
competition existed.
It has dawned on them that the
y *stern rivers furnish the basis for a
r medy. and they have begun in a
p ’actical way to bring about the old
river traffic, once so important.
A few weeks ago the first steamboat
in years made its way from St. Louis
to Kansas City. It was received at
every binding by crowds, and when it
arrived at its destination speeches of
welcome and cheers of thousands were
Its greeting. It was hailed as the be
ginning of a new era—or the return of
an old regime. Plans are being pushed
to completion that look to the estab
lishment of a fleet of these steamers
for the’run between the two cities.
Other lines to the farther northwest,
with larger fleets to the gulf, are in
prospect. Ship canals are planned, one
in particular to connect the Mississippi
and the great lakes, all of which means
a new method of regulating freight
rates for the vast output of the west’s
granary.
The west is not particularly anxious
to see ste icer smoke. It promotes
steamer lines for the same reason that
New York vcp-.l for deepening the Lrle
canal—to brin about water competi
tion. The saving of ;i few cents per
hundred pounds on the gn in and lieef
sent out of the middle .vest means
trips to Knrope and automobiles for
producers. If (he steamboat can bring
this aliout it ijS exactly the thing for
which they are searching.
It is a curious fact that despite the
immense sums spent by the federal
government on the improvement of our
rivers the past two decades have been
a period of absolute and relative de
cline ip liver shipping. A quarter cen
tury ago there were on the western
rivers vessels having an aggregate ton
nage of 3!) 1,0-18. Last year the corre
sponding figures were 17-1,319, less
than half. The decline was steady dur
ing the period except for a slight rally
In the early nineties. The average ton
nage last year was only seventy, and
but two vessels of over 1,000 were reg
istered as built on the western rivers.
To such decline has come the once im
portant feature of the nation’s internal
transportation.
It is doubtful if ever again shall we
see the old time passenger trade that
was so great a feature of travel in the
sixties. The floating palaces, with
their social delights, were pictured in
novel and rhyme. The races when ne
gro boys were supposed to be used for 4
weights on the safety valves and when
disaster usually closed the contest fur
nished the motif for many a tale.
Charles Dickens found in such a trip
many discomforts, to be sure, but oth
ers did not.
One may today enjoy a delightful
ride up the Mississippi from St. Louis

Resting Place of President’s Step
mother Wholly Neglected.
The grave of Sarah Mush Lincoln,
who reared Abraham Lin oln, her step
son, lies unmarked in Cole county, says
the Chicago News. It is well nigh for
gotten by the present generation. Nan
cy blanks Lincoln, who died after giv
ing Lincoln birth, was the first wife of
Thomas Lincoln. Sarah Hush Lincoln,
the second wife, was from Kentucky.
She was the only mother Lincoln real
ly know, and it was she who had !ho
real influence in formulating his char
acter.
Thomas Lincoln died in 1851. and his
wife, Lincoln’s stepmother, in 18(19.
All that is left of the old home of
Thomas Lincoln is a little cairn of
foundation stones and bricks from the
fireplace, which Ls shadowed by two
old trees, now dying. These trees had
been set out by the elder Lincoln when
he lirst built the log cabin. The old
Gordon cemetery, In which Thomas
and Sarah Lincoln were burled and
where the latter’s grave is unmarked,
.is located a mile west of the old Lin
coln home. It is a typical country grave
yard and is in a very isolated locality.
A pile of brush has been placed over
the grave of Mrs. Lincoln, a sorrowful
neglect of the woman who had much
to do In giving the country a man
whose name Is immortal.
The grave of Thomas Lincoln was
only marked by a white oak board,
placed Ihoro by Abraham Lincoln him
self In 1851, until In 1880, when the
present plain white marble shaft was
erected. On Its face is the following
simple record: “Thomas Lincoln, father
of the martyred president. Born Jan.
6, 1778; died Jan. 15. 1851.”
The last visit of Abraham Lincoln to
the graves of his parents was In 1851,
Ju«t before he was inaugurated. He
entered the old homestead where his
stepmother was waiting for him. He
took her In his arms and tried to com
fort her when she commenced weeping.
She declared that she would never see
him again.
“Why, mother?” he asked.
She replied, “Abe, you are such a
good man that they will kill yon.”
He little dreamed of the prophetic
character of her words. Lincoln then
cut some markers with a saw and ax
and placed them on his father's grave.
He marked the Initials of the dead
with bis pocketknlfe. These markers
were stolen by some wretch after he
was assusslhated.
In the afternoon nt the old town of
Farmington, a mile north of the Lin
coln home, Lincoln was given a fare
well reception. He there bade fare
well to his beloved stepmother. He
adored her, and she loved him even
bettor than she loved her own children.
The parting was a pathetic one. Sii»
was so old at the time of his death
that she was completely prostrated and
could not go to Springfield. It is a sad
commentary on the Justice of mankind
that, while so much Is said about the
neglected condition of the grave of
Nancy Hanks Lincoln, the woman who
gave Lincoln birth, few, if any, remem
ber Sarah Hush Lincoln, who was tin*
one who inspir 'd him to higher aims.

Remarkable Tale of a Raw Recruit
From Massachusetts Who Deserted
to the Enemy In the Philippines and
Keeps the Insurrection Active.
Advices- from (he Philippines tell of
government difficulties because of one
Datto Dodds, erstwhile Private Dodds,
who was for some ten minutes a mem
ber of the Nineteenth United States
Infantry. Until Dodds Is dead or paci
fied they say there will be no pence In
the Malay part of the Islands, writes
the Washington correspondent of the
Kansas City Star.
Once they were bending all their ef
forts toward catching and hanging
Private Dodds. Just now they are pa
ticntly trying to negotiate with him, o’-
so the story runs. Dodds was ordinary
enough appearing army material when
a serpent tongued recruiting sergeant
enlisted him at Boston some years ago.
Shock headed, dull eyed, bull necked,
deep chested, shambling In his gait,
Dodds attracted no attention on the
transport beyond the small notoriety
of eating more and drinking more awk
wardly than the rest.
But when he and his fellow rookies
landed at Manila the Massachusetts
factory hand kept right on inarching
from the end of the gangplank through
Manila and out toward the violet green
mountains, where lurked the restless
insurrecto.
A searching party found him and took
him hack. It was not believed he in
tended to desert, so he was not punish
ed, but was sent, with eighty-eight oth
er recruits, to join a battalion of the
Nineteenth infantry, then stationed in
Cebu. Dodds glanced Into his tent
and kept on going. Another searching
party looked In vain for him, and it
was supposed he had been killed by
natives. A little later there was a
night attack by natives, and the voice
of Dodds was heard urging the enemy
to their work. Time and again tills oc
curred, and Dodds always managed to
get away.
Why Dodds joined the Insurgents has
never been explained. He may have
been Inoculated before enlistment with
the anti imperialistic virus of Edward
Atkinson and other Boston friends of
Agulnaldo, or It might have been some
heritage of Norse pirate blood that
blossomed In Ids brain under the orien
tal sun. The deeper mystery Is how the
untutored factory hand mastered a
barbaric people and a more barbaric
language In so short a time. The sol
diers of the Nineteenth rejoiced when
peace fell on Cebu and the insurgents
agreed, as one of their terms, to sur
render the white renegades and desert
ers among them. At lust the outraged
infantrymen would got their hands on
Dodds, and a baiter, too, but he was
not among the renegades surrendered.
While tin* i‘ .nct movements of Dodds
from this p >int are a mystery, he is
supposed to have fled by banca or lor-
elia to Mindanao or Sulu. Subsequent
ly be turned up in the household of
Datto Tantung, on Tawi Tawl island,
where lie was said to have married a
daughter of that potentate and to have
been initiated by him and to have been
rai ail to the rank of postmaster
among dattos*.
At any rate, Dodds wore ’the silk
drawers, silver embroidered vests and
arsenal sash of the Malays, did a little
cautious pirating with his adopted na
tion perhaps and was satisfied to be
separated from civilization and tin*
cocktail, which, as George Ade says,
follows the flag. Dodds had the mak
ing of a good Utah Mormon of the last
gifneration, it seems, because in all
his wanderings the native institution
which he adopted first was the harem.
And everywhere he was the most
unreconstructed of all the rebels
against Ids mother country. In time
the deserter came to acquire some
thing like belligerent right and privi
lege of treating with American author
ity like other dattos.
But the army has never lost its de
sire to catch Datto Dodds In a fight
where the fierceness of the onslaught
will make it convenient to overlook
giving quarter. And Datto Dodds re
ciprocates by stirring up the Malays
whenever expeditions and treaties
have calmed them down to something
like peace. Just now he is kicking up
trouble again. •
Meanwhile this hairy oaf of a New
England factory town, silken clad,
barbarously hung with iiearls and
weapons, reigns like a king or a feudal
lord in an “Arabian Nights’” setting,
with the soft southern seas murmuring
about his island and a host of fierce
eyed, brown faced subjects bowing nt
his big feet.

SCHOOL FOR UNHAPPY WIVES
New
For
York's Unique Institution
Mending Broken Hcrres.
A school f.ir nmn.'.'ng h:’<»k * i homes.
That is the newest institution in Man
hattan. Its curriculum is basi ;! entire
ly ou the aim of eilncuting the ignorant
wife who is despised l,y her husband
because she is umeUered and who can
not lie a real companion to him because
of her limited knowledge; of aiding the
mother to keep pace with the growing
minds of her daughters. From little
things, such as the using of “ain’t”
“done” for “did” and "seen” for “saw,”
have arisen quarrels between the crit
ical husband and bis sensitive wife
that have caused a breach in the fam
ily circle, 'the husband, who in the
days of courtship failed to perceive the
gi n tii 1 •«* and the lack of
knowledge of his sweetheart in the ad
miration of her beauty, ins c m \j
ridicule Imr. The daughter or the .sou,
fresh from the grammatical instruction
in school, Is quick to notice the errors
and thinks it smart to make fun of the
mother, says the New York Press.
From such trivial causes have arisen
quarrels which have made the wife
wretched. To send happiness into such
homes this new school has been started
in Manhf ttan avenue by an alumna of
Colombia imiversity. To it go women
prominent In society, wives of brokers
and professors, who wish to learn the
rudiments of grammar, English his
tory and the best tilings in art and
music. The majority of them are
ashamed of the fact that they are go
ing to school and do their utmost to
conceal it not only from their friends,
but their husbands and children. They
wrap their text books up in paper to
prevent any acquaintance whom they
may meet in going to or from the
schoolroom from seeing the books.
Several of them give false names to
the principal of the school lest their
real identity become known. Ro fear
ful are they when they chance to meet
the principal In a theater or at a social
function they do not recognize her, so
that the principal now only speaks to
those pupils who first bow to her.
Every morning or afternoon those
women can be seen entering and leav
ing the school. They are fashionably
< 1 •*" furs and hats of the
l 'os. Several of them
drive to Central park In their car
riages, and then, dismissing their
coachmen, tell them that they will
walk in the park. Instead, however,
they go to the barren little schoolroom,
presided over by a prim looking young
woman. Blackboards, chalk, maps and
outlines similar to those found In t >e
grammar schools form the equipment
of the room.
“It Is almost tragic the stories some
of my pupils tell me,” said the princi
pal the other day. “Many of them
come to me with their hearts In their
hands. They tell me how their hus
bands are harsh with them because
they use bad grammar or do not know
anything about art and things like
that. They are eager to learn. They
ask me what they shall read, what the
best pictures in the museum are, what
theaters they should go to In order to
learn the things that put them on the
same Intellectual level with their hus
bands or enable them to avoid the
criticisms of their children."

AVENUE OF THE PRESIDENT.
Fashionables In Washington 8o Style
a Thoroughfare.
Many of the householders along fash
ionable Sixteenth street, In Washing
ton, have lately taken to styling It
“The Avenue of the President.” and the
fad has gone so far that they are put
ting It on their note paper. They re
fer to It by that name In their private
conversation, and strangers are likely
to he somewhat bewildered.
Awhile ago many of the householders
tried to get the name of the street
changed to “The Avenue of the Presi
dent.” The District commissioners
considered the subject and finally ve
toed the proposition. There is no appeal
from their decision, and so all the In
novators can do is to c«U It by that
name among themselves/'
The beginning of Sixteenth street di
rectly fac'^ the White House, and If
there were not a small park, or
“square,” in the way it would begin di
rectly In front of It. Standing ou Scott
circle, at the head of the hill, one can
lo. k directly down Sixteenth street to
the holy of holies.
One sad thing about the situation
which somewhat Jars the fashionables
on “The Avenue of the President” is
that the president never uses It. When
he goes out he goes along either Penn
sylvania avenue or the far less fashion
able Seventeenth street.

Mr. Carmack arose. “Does the sena
tor from Mississippi yield to the sena
tor from Tennessee?” inquired Vice
President Fairbanks. “With pleasure,”
replied the Mississippian. “I merely,
arose,” said Senator Carmack, “in or
der that the statement just made by
the senator from Mississippi should
not go unchallenged.” Mr. Money
bowed to his colleague as he replied,
“I am always glad to be corrected
When wrong, and I feel especially
grateful that on this occasion the cor
rection comes from a senator who so
ably represents a southern constitu
ency.”
