Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis- courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid- Meys are out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent }) that it isnot uncommon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kid- neys. If the child urin- = ates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with ted-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to @ diseased condition of the kidreys and b-4¢ ot to a habit a: most people suppose.

Whole Town is Badly Shaken By Dynamite. Crestline, 0., Nov. 2.—By the ex- plosion of two cars of dynamite in the Pennsylvania yards last night the entire city and vicinity was thrown into a panic.

A hole twenty feet deep was torn in the ground where the cars were standing, tracks were torn up and raile, cars and dirt are heaped all about the yards. Persons who were on the streets at the time were injured by fying glass, doors and windows were sinashed, and where church services were being held the wildest confusion prevailed.
