NOT FOR EVERYTHING But if yon have weak kidneya,blad- - der trouble or distressing kidney complaint, then Swamp-Ro- ot will prove to be just the remedy yon need. Too frequent desire to urinate, scanty supply, pain or dull ache In the back is convincing evidence that your kidneys and bladder need doctoring. There is comfort in tbe knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Roo- t, the great kidney rem- edy, fulfills every wish In relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, blad- der and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following tbe use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get np many times dur- ing the night to urinate. The mild and theextrordinary effect of Swamp-Ro- ot is soon realized. It stands the highest for Its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty cents and one dollar. You may have a sample bottle and pamphlet both sent free by mail.

The Escape Was Artistically Planned, and Hut for the Pigeons Would Have Been Successful. Jeffebhon City, Mo., Oct. 22. A flock of pigeons prevented the escape of four prisoners from the Missouri penitentiary. A bolder or more ar- - tittic escape was never planned. Night Guard J. J. Gordon and his assistant, Judge Allison, who have charge of the new cell building, ob served an unusual commotion among the pigeons in the garret at midnight and at once suspected that something was wrong. Hastening to the out- side, they discovered Joshua L. Craft, a convict, in the act of descending to the ground by means of a blanket rope. Gordon fired his revolver as a warning and Craft dropped to the yard below. The other three prison ers hastily retreated through the gar ret to their cells, but found it Impos' aible to cover up the hole they bad made in their efforts to regain their freedom. The fonr concerned were Craft, of Lawrence county, fifteen years for robbery and two charges of burglary, from April 25, 1896; Harvey Hart, alias Cole, of St. Louis, four years. from July 11, 1897, for grand larceny; Mike Reed, of St. Louis, five years, from May 22, 1895, for robbery in the first degree; James J. Malloy, of Jackson county, three years, from Oct. 3. 1898. for grand larceny. This Is Malloy's third term. Craft seemed to be the leader of the gang, and he planned the escape and made the first break for liberty. The fonr were located on the top floor In adjoining eel's. Through some means unknown to the prison authorities they had succeeded in securing and secreting in their cells a good assort' ment of chisels, files, mallets and otber instruments, and without great difficulty contrived to cut a hole through the brick arch over their cells and all climbed through into the gar' ret. They had already provided them selves with a stout rope made of blankets, and this they let down through the little window through which a flock of pigeons had access to the garret. The other end was fastened securely to a rafter inside, and escape seemed certain, when the nnczpected happened. The convicts, in their eagerness to escape, had not counted on the pres ence of the pigeons. They flew around over their heads, but the men bad no time to notice such harmless creatures. But the commotion among the birds soon attracted the attention of the guards below, who knew tbat there must be something nnusual to disturb them at that hour of the night, and just as Craft was well on his way to liberty and the others ready to follow, with no thought of danger, Gordon and Allison swooped down on them and the game was np, The prisoners bad discarded their convict garb and each was dressed in a rode suit made of a blanket. Each had a sharp knife. They were at once taken back and locked in different cells. J. M. Thirswend, of Grosbeck, Tex. says tbat when he has a spell of Indi gestion, and feels bad and sluggish, he takes two of DeWitt's Little Early Risers at night, and he is all right the next morning.

Public Adininistrsssr' Miss Lucy H. Hitchcock, lecturer,1 department of physical culture, Wo man's Christian Temperance union, Vermont, wrote on May 16 last: 'It affords me pleasure to add my testimony with others regarding the healing effects of Paine's celery com- - pound upon an exhausted nervous system." Aug. 12, 1897, she wrote: "As a rule I do not endorse medicines, bat I believe Paine's celery compound to be of a different order from tbe ordi- nary medicines. Facts cannot be dis- puted. I have derived so much bene fit from the compound that I am glad to heartily recommend it, hoping others similarly afflicted may be re- lieved. Any medicine that will re- lieve suffering humanity is a blessing to the world." A blessing to the world! Paine's celery compound has been proven to be the one great remedy that really makes people well. This estimable woman, whose Christian work is earnestly directed toward tbe betterment of others, and whose emi- nence in the W. C, T. U. makes her advice of great value, plainly indorses Paine's celery compound. The amount of poor health on every hand is something shocking to every- one who stops to think. Hundreds of men and women in every neighbor hood are to-da- y carrying about with them a needless load of ailments that a thorough refreshing of their nerves, a purifying of their blood, more sleep and more regularity In the bodily functions would completely do away with. Paine's celery compound will do all this for sick and ailing men and women. A "hear-say- " reputation may do for some other medicines; Paine's POLLARD'S CORN SHOW.

A Splendid Report. froa tbe Columbia Herald. RobertM. White, of the Mexico Ledger, has given a splendid report of the proceedings of the body .issuing fine dally edition of the Ledger. "Mexico la a good town." That's what everybody says. the months of men and women whom it has made well they are in every city, town and village in tbe country, No one can pass the newspaper bul letins without being reminded by how slight a thread the best of men hold on to life. The slight ups and downs In hoaltn from which people recover makes them forget that there is a limit to the body's elasticity and endurance. The habitually ex hausted nervous system at last loses its powers of recovery and offers no resistance to disease. "Prevent disease," is the watch word of the best medical thought of to-da- y. Careful men and women do net wait until they are flat on their backs as people once did. The more intelligent part of every community has found out the inestimable benefit to be derived from Paine's celery compound when one is worn-ou- t, nerve-tire- d and "out-o- f -- sorts." The little ills, the beginning of neuralgia and rheumatism, tbe "all gone" and tired feelings, show the immediate need of purifying the blood and refreshing the nerves. The di rect and energetic way Paine's celery compound overcomes sick and ner vous headaches, dyspepsia and heart troubles, as it does all other nervous disorders, has compelled the admira tion of the medical world from the start. Headaches, rheumatism, neuralgia, lifeless feelings and debility cannot persist when intelligently met and corrected by this greatest of nerve and brain strengtheners. No remedy ever kept the confidence of so large a body of inquiring men and women, Try it. New Office Building. George Robertson to-da- y let the contract for his new office building to August Webber.
