In his investigation of the Tammany Dock Board District-Attorney Jerome received further evidence of the remark- able profits of Brown & Fleming, in which firm Richard Croker 1s said to be # sjient partner. This Is the con- cern which, by the admission in an afMdavit of one of its members, started without capital and cleared in three years $1,000,000. Mr. Jerome found that what 1s called the “Tammany Dirt Trust” has a prac- tical monopoly of the pler dumps con- venient to the subway. He has affidavits from William Barclay Parsons, John B, McDonald and others connected with the subway showing that out of the Elm street section alone Brown & Fleming made $125,000. This was paid by the Degon-McLean Company for the privi- lege of dumping earth at the Canal street pier. Contractors Protested. The District-Attorney will show that the subway contractors protested ani applied to the old Dock Board for a dump in another section of the city. The board refused. The caso was taken to the courts. Brown & Fleming won, and were able to hold up the subway contractors for any amount they cared to. They boosted prices to 35 cents a cubic yard for cellar earth. After getting this amount for the dumping privilege Brown & Fleming were able to sell the earth for filling-in for 17 cents a yard. In an aMdavit in Fleming’s sult for @ dissolution of the partnership, Browa fays about Fleming: "That the plaintiff was originally an employee of the defendant, and at the time that the deponent took him into business with him, now about twen:y years ago, the eald plaintiff was a com- mon laborer with absolutely no edu- ation, “That his development since that time has not been very great, and that though he {s at present a man of large means, owning a one-half interest in aid business, his babite of life have always been primitive, and his expenses ry small.

The result is, fewer and fewer well-In- formed men and women are willing to carry such liquid remedies into their homes. Every one knows that when the kidneys are perfectly well alcohol affects them more than any other part of the body, but when diseased alcohol tears them to pieces. Dr. Pettingill's Kidney- Wort Tablets, a true kidney specific, free from alcohol, has taken the place of all liquid kidney remedies, and thousands of sick people who were esag ground while taking the old-fashioned liquid kid- ney remedies are to-day entirely free from disease. The demand for Dr. Pet- tingill’s Kidney-Wort Tablets has Jumped to enormous proportions since the at- tention of everybody has been brought to the danger of alcohol In kidney dis- eases. The Tablets quickly cure rheumatism by making the kidneys healthy. As Kid- ney-Wort Tablets are free from alcohol, they ‘cure permanently, and the recur- rence of the trouble that usually follows as an after-effect of the alcohol con- tained in liquid kidney remedies need never be feared, When the kidneys are healthy they strain the uric acid from the blood, but when unhealthy the acid is deposited tn minute crystals in the muscles and causes rheumatic pains. Kid- ney-Wort Tablets enable the kidneys to pass off the acid that {s clogging their healthy action and which will form Into “stone” If not excreted. If you are exposed to any of the exist- ing causes of kidney trouble, look out for these and other symptoms: Pains in the loins and back, tired feelings, ner- vousness, bladder weakness, general weakness, derangement of digestion, fre- quent desire to pass water, reddish or dark sediment in urine, One bottle of Kidney-Wort Tablets will snatch you | 4 Shoe Offer ls Good To-Morrow, Friday and Saturday, 279 Broadway.
