Fall Pardon Kocommended tor Willie : Sells, Topeka, Kan. July 9.— Willie Selle, the boy who was convicted and eenteneed te life imprisonment eleven years ago for the murder of his father, mother, brother and sis ter, near Erie, Kan., under most brutel circumstancas, has been to- day recomm-nded for pardon unaai mously by the State Board of Pare dons, who express belief in bis inno cence. The evidence under which the boy was convicted was purely circumstantial. Gov. Leedy may not act on the case for a fortnight. The report of the Board of Pardons follows: “This board, after thorough in- vestigation aud mature deliberation, is of opinion that Willie Sells is in- nocent of the crime of which he is| charged and convicted, and for which he has suffered elevea years’) imprisonment. We believe justice— justice, pure and simple—would| only ba meted out by saying to Wil-| lie Sells, ‘Go out into the world with the charge of murder, under which} | you have rested so long, entirely} | wiped out.” i Therefore, we most respectfully and earnestly recommend that Your) Excellency grant said Willie Sells) an unconditional pardon.” | Condition of Winter Wheat.

The people have decided upon this course because the travel- ing bands of tramps refuse to work in the harvest fields for $2 a day. Farmers are working night and day, including Sundaye, trying to save their wheat, and appeals to tramps | for help at good wages fall on deaf ears. When tramps ask for food now they are refused and told to go into the fielde aud earn their bread or atarve. An average of 100 men to the county in 50 counties in Kan- sas could secure work at from $1.50 to $2 a day. How to Find Out. Fill a bottle or common glass with urine and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling indicates an unhealthy condition of the kid- neys. When urine stains linen it ie poanre evidence of kidney trouble. ‘oo frequent desire to urinate or pair in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. WHAT TO DO. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp Root, the great kidney rem- edy, fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, blad- der and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that un- pleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If youneed a medi- cine you should have the best.
