Railroad last week About 3 years ago, Mrs. Culilar, who is quite an old lady, was getting off the train at Harwood.

Herself and husband each filed suit against the Katy for $4,000 damages. Mr. Cullar, years ago, was a pros- perous merchant in Butler and his family one of the most prominent in the county. They are parents in law of J. F. Boyd, of the Logan, Moore, Boyd Lumber Co, of this city. Former Parsnip Complexion. It does not require an expert to detect the sufferer from kidney trouble. The hollow cheeks the sunken eyes, the dark pufty circles under the ey the sallow parsnip complexion indicates it. A physician would ask if you had rheumatism, a dull pain or ache in the back or over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to urinate often, or a burning or scalding in passing it; if after passing there is an unsatisfied teeling as if it must be at once repeated, or 1f the urine | has a brick dust deposit or strong odor. When these symptoms are present, no time should be lost in removing the cause. Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh ot the bladder, inflammation, — causing stoppage, and sometimes requiring the d.awing of the urine with instruments, or may runinto Bright’s Disease, the most dangerous stage of kidney trouble.

Hiram M. Bledsoe was born in} Bourbou county, Kentucky, seventy- three years ago. He was given the same name as his father, who was a minister of the Christian church. When “Hi was but a small boy Elder Bledsoe moved to Lafayette county, Missour’, where he bought a farm near Lexington. The outbreak of the Mexican war found young Bledsoe less than 20 years of age, but he enlisted as a private and served througbout the war, being in many engagements and distinguish- ing himself for bravery in the battle of Sacramento. When the brief war with Mexico was over the young man returned to Lexington, where he liyed quietly on the farm for several years. The border trroubles between the people who lived on the two eides of the line dividing Missouri and Kansas were} just beginniog and the fighting lood in “Hi” would not be still He organized the tirst company of what were known as the ‘Border Ruffians” and led them over into Kansas. When the border warfare had largely ceased, Bledsoe returned to Lexington, where he lived an une- ventful life until the beginning of hostilities between the north and south In 1861 he organized the first Missouri battery end was elect ed captain. | There was not a battie in Missouri in which the under General Sterling Price tock part, that was not made more fierce by the pres ence of Bledsoe’s battery, and it | soon became known an alleides.

Ratification Carries With It Tacit Conditions. SUCCEEDS BY NARROW MARGIN. Washisgton, D. C., Feb. 6.—The ratification of the treaty of peace | to-day carried that there should bs passed a reso- lution defining the status of the Filipinos and a tacit assurance that they were not to be governed against their will longer than was absolutely necessary. Should the administration break faith, now that the convention is ratified, there will bean expoze of | tine: its double dealing Under conditions of intense ten- sion, the senate met to-day and proceeded to complete the work of the Paris peace commission. Because of the outbreak of the Filipinos, the acceptance of the treaty was made practically certain, and with the implied, if not distinctly given, as surance that a military protectcrate would be established, to give way to local self-government when practica ble, 57 votes were cast for it. which, with the pairs for and against it, made 61 votes in its favor. Senator Vest, who bas cot been well fora week, braved a terrifis snowstorm that he might be present to go on record against expansion. Senator Cockrell also voted against it. The problem of solution of ques- tions of expansion now rests with the next congress. This congress will do no more than pass the $20,000 indemnity, leaving the final disposition of the islands to the fature. Congress is preparing to rush through the necessary appropriation bills, so that there may be no neces sity fer an extra session. This will depend, however, largely upon the action of the senate on the army bill. Ifthe senate democrats succeed in defeating this there will b: an extra session The Ravages of Grip That modern scourge, t’:e grip, poisons the air with its fatal germs, so that ne home is eafe from its ray east af the river, and made colonel of lery under Gen.
