A tact often overlooked, or not always understood, is that women suffer as much trom distressing Kidney and bladder troubles as men. The womb is situated back of and close to the bladder, and for that reason any distress, disease or in- convenience manifested in the kidneys, back, bladder or urinary passage is often by mistake attributed to female weak- ness or womb trouble of some sort. The error is easily made and maj as easily avoided by setting urine a 'for twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling is evidence that your kidneys and bladder need docloring. It you have} rg inthe back, pass pain or dull achi water too frequently ¢ with smarting or bu gs convincing proef of kidney } | | | /Groceries, Hardware, Queens- | Butler. j|turkeys, geese.

Baker-Howard Feud in Kentucky Developing Alarming Praportions. Pineville, Ky., April 17—In the Baker Howard feud eleven men have been killed and severel others wounded. The officers of the law are demor- alized, and, knowing that to make an arrest means that their entire families will be drawn into the con flict, are powerless to preserve order. Arrayed against each other are two of the largest families iu Clay county. They go armed with rifles, seeking to kill each oth r Owing to the isolation of the county particulars are hard to learn, resident of the county indicate that the feud will prove one of the blood- iest in the history of the state. Ballard Howard owns 300 aeres of timber land. George Baker owas a similar tract adjoining. Three weeks ago Baker cut 300 logs. Howard claimed that he cross- ed the boundary and cut them on his land. This charge caused a fight, in which Alex. Baker, a son of Geo. Baker, was killed. The Baker family swore to exterminate the Howard family. Officers of the law were given to understand by both sides that they would brook no interference As one of the belligerents expressed it: “You just leave us alone; we want to fight it out among ourselves.” Last Monday Ballard Howard and three sons, who had been to Man chester to procure arms and ammu- nition, were waylaid five miles from town by old’ Baker and three of his sons. Ballard Howard was shot through the shoulder. Jim Howard, his son, and Joe Anderson, a hired man, were killed by the first volley from the Bakers. When the Bakers came out of the bushes to complete their work, they were fired on by the two uninjured Howards, and Joe and James Baker were killed. Old man Baker retreated and escaped. Last Wednesday morning George Baker, while riding along the road, was met by Jim Howard. Both commenced shooting. Baker was killed. Howard was unburt. come to hunt for the old man, went back to where lay the body of Baker. Concealing themselves they awaited the enemy. In an hour a party of five Bakers arrive. Waiting until they had dismounted, the con- cealed party fired, killing two and wounding another. The remsining two of the Baker faction mounted their horses and escaped. The Hewards, after surveying | their work and thinking the wounded man dead, departed. The two bodies remained in the roadall day. For fear of an ambush, their friends did net remove them until night. Last Thursday night John How ard, while sitting in his house, was fired at through the window by some one on the outside. The ball pagsed through kis left arm Grab- \bing bis pistol, he rushed to the |door and fired at s man whom ke | |saw running. The man fell. | Before Howard could return to | the house he was killed by some one leoncealed in the yard- The man he shot escaped. | It is reported here this morning | that there was a battle yesterday, in | which several were killed and wound- ed. The particulars and names are not known here. Both families have been re-enforced by other families of the county, and the prospects for the angel of peace to do any busi- ness in that immediate section in the near future is not very reassuring. but the facts learned to-day from a) Know. | ing that some of ths Bakers would | Howard got three other men and | Saved by Cor J Moberly, Mo., April 15.—Many of the Moberly party who left for Alaska were but a short distance from the scene of the terrible ava- | lanche at the Chilkoot Pass, April 3 A letter received by friends of B.
