Three Soldiers Convicted and Ordered by Judge -raham to Appear for Sentence To-Day. The cases of C. M. Cauder, Arthur Bil- lings, P. Simmons and Charles Leiska, the four soldiers charged with malicious mis- chief and disturbing the peace, were called before Judge Graham yesterday morning. The complaining witness, Adolph Reh- feld, saloon-keeper, Greenwich and Lyon streets, was in court with his wife and five children, who have been made home- less by the destruction of their property by fire caused by the soldiers during the riot a week ago last Sunday night. Reh- feld identified, Billings, Simmons and Leiska as three of the soldiers who threw rocks at his place and yelled to burn it down. He was corroborated by Henry A. Wells, a cook, and as far as Leiska was concerned by Policeman Herring, who testified that he saw Leiska with his coat off throwing rocks at the saloon and yell- ing, “Burn her down.” The Judge dismisse Cauder but found the other three defend- ants guilty and ordered them to appear for sentence this morning.

FEARS COMPETITION J. W. KERR WARNS LOCAL MAN- UFACTURES OF DANGER. The Proposition toc Change the Tariff Means Death to Some of the Western Industries. At a recent executive meeting of the di- rectors of the Manufacturers’ and Pro- ducers’ Association a resolution was in- troduced by J. W. Kerr, and adopted which was of more than ordinary signifi- cance. It relates to one of the principal subjects that is now agitating the coun- try, whether imperialism shall or shall not prevail. The resolution reads 1 ats ar Whereas, t sent a Chamber of Commerce ancisco re- questing that body to in the tariff affecting goods port; 1 wher the 1 ctu indus- tri ing upon cific ast and > depend- s much need of pro- m in tection f the Orient to-day as ever the Atlantic oard did from the manufacturers of Eur therefore, be it Resolved, That president of this asso- ciation communic: “hamber of Commerce and ke on ithis matter, to which would ir str t our home 1strie uriously ng in In presenting the matter Mr. Kerr stat- ed that in the Philippine islands there are millions of people who are glad to work for a very few cents a day, as food, cloth- | dy | ing and shelter c s but little.

But not until recent- ly was the discovery made. Dr. Kil- mer, the eminent kidney and bladder specialist, after years of study and re- search, and after test on test that | never varied in the grand result, an- nounced the discovery of Swamp-Root | which has praven itself a most won- derful cure for all diseases of the kid- neys and bladder. The jmmediate symptoms and first proofs of weak kidneys are pain or dull ache in the back, rheumatism, dizzi- ness, headaches, nervousness, heart trouble, pain in the limbs, bloating, sallow complexion, puffy or dark cir- cles under the eyes, bladder irritation, suppression of urine, obliged to s water often day and night, worn-out, | tired feeling, lack of ambition. If your water, when allowed to re- main undisturbed in a glass or bottle for twenty-four hours, forms a sedi- ment or settling, or has a cloudy ap- pearance, it is evidence that your kid- neys and bladder need immediate at- tention. Swamp-Root has been tested in so | many ways, in hospital work, in pri- ;v:ue practice, among the helpless too | poor to purchase relief, and has proved so successful in every case that a spe- cial arrangement has been made by which all readers of The Call who have | not already tried it may have a sam- | ple bottle sent absolutely free by mail.
