TOUR BODY TN TWO CON TINUOUS STREAMS. It Starts From Your Heart and Passes Through Your Kidneys. What Is - the Kidneys' Part, and How They Perform It.

Your heart pumps It all over your body. it contains rood, neat ana nourish ment, which it gives out as it goes along, i Thisirls.- the first stream. ' It is rich, red, bright, and runs through blood-vessels called "arteries." When it has given out all its food and life, it takes up in return all the waste matter it can collect, and starts back to where it came from. This is the second stream. It is dark colored, unhealthy, poisonous, It runs through blood .vessels called "veins." ! It takes ithe shortest cut to your kid neys, for your kidneys arej waiting to fil ter It. When it reaches them, they filter out all poisonous matter and expel the poison from your body. Then the blood goes on to the liver and lungs, to get fresh food and heat, after which it begins its journey ail over again. but: When the Kidneys don't filter the blood .It passes on lust the same, and wherever it passes, it leaves behind it noison and disease. This is what makes us sick: Impure blood. This Is what makes impure blood Sick Kidneys. So long as the kidneys are well, they will filter the blood.

City Officials and Police Under Arrest, Knoxviile, Tenn., March 1. A small sized riot occurred on the streets of Knoxviile early this morning, in wnicb one man was killed and a drtzen or more hurt. The trouble grew out of the pending street railway litigation. Two rival street car companies want to oc cupy the same street. The Knoxviile street railway has occupied the street for several years. The Citizens railway, a new corporation, wants to parallel these tracks, but the city council re fuses to give them right of way. Early this morning, the latter company put 200 men to work laying tracks. The city authorities stopped the work un der the ordinance that the streets shall not be dug up during the winter months. The Citizens railway people claim that they have an injunction from the United States court restrain ing the city from interfering. The po lice were directed to arrest the labor ers and as fast as the men were arrest ed they gave bond and went back to work. The police became powerless and the fire department was called out to disperse the crowd with water. When this was attempted, a negro tried to cut the hose, buU was prevented by Chief Mcintosh, whereupon (another negro struck the chief with aclub. Then Lieutenant of Police Hood shot the negro and this enraged the crowd. The entire police force was arrested by the sheriff and his deputies and the la borers put back to work. Later, an in junction was issued by Circuit Judge Sneed restraining the company from tearing ! up the streets. This stopped the matter temporarily. Mayor Helskell appealed to the mob to disperse, but he was hooted down. Excitement runs high. The - latest movement Is the arrest of all the Cit izens railway officers for inciting riot. All the city officials from chairman of the 'board of public works, down to firemen, are under arrest. THE STEAMER DAUNTLESS Wants Clearance Papers to a Cuban Port Kefused Unless Affidavit Against Viola tion of Neutrality Laws is Made. Washington, March 1. A telegram to the ' secretary of the treasury today from Jacksonville, brought information that W. A. Bisbee, the owner of the alleged filibuster. Dauntless, had filed an application in a modified form for permission to clear for a Cuban port with, a. xjargo of munitions of war. The modification consists in the agreement of Mr. Bisbee to make affidavit that he did not intend to violate the navigation laws. It is stated at the department that, unless Mr. Bisbee includes the neutrality laws in his promise, .he can not get the clearance papers, and the collector of customs has been informed that the department -stands on its pre vious decision not to release the paunt less from custody unless all its, condi tions are complied with. The explanation given at tne depart ment of its reasons for insisting oa sworn statement from tfe? ownr of the Dauntless more stringent in form than is usually required Is that no chances can be taken that might cause this gov ernment to be embroiled in foreign. trouble. It is said that the eenviction of Captain Hart, of the Laurada, estate lished that the Dauntless was clearly involved in ' filibustering operations. Under the circumstances, i: to grant clearances papers without . observing unusual precautions and insisting on stringent conditions would seem a Vio lation of the neutrality obligations of thei government. The threat of Mr. Bisbee to enter another suit against the collector at Jacksonville unless clear ance papers are granted, it is hinted by treasury and department of Justice offi cials, is a threat which will not result in anything beneficial to the steamer..

The Wounded Han Taken Off by Aeeom pllees The Search for Him Disastrous Consequences of Repeal of the Halifax Stock t,aw -Governor Russell Stirs Up the Populist Bolters by a Vicious De nunciation of Senator Odom. Messenger Bureau, Park Hotel, Raleigh, N. C, March 1. There was a very sensational occur rence here at 4 o'clock yesterday morn ing, when a negro house robber was shot by, both members of the firm of Turner- & Birdsong. The negro had smashed with an axe a -inch plate- glass window of their store, entered it and had filled a barrel on the side walk with property. The members of the firm slept in an adjoining building and heard the noise. As they ran in the rear of the store the negro, leaped through 'the window. Both fired at once and the. man fell. It was found that both bullets struck. He crawled around the, corner and along a stone culvert,' the blood pouring from his wounds, and it is supposed was help ed into a wagon by his accomplices! The trail for many yards is marked by gouts of -blood. The city is beinc seached for him. Mention was made the other day that tne relatives of Senator E. T. Clark were extremely angry with him for his work, in passing the outrageous bill to turn -stock loose in Halifax county three -months in the year. His mother had -given hfm warning "6f the certain result or his'.ction." She has now dis inherited him. She ownes much real estate in Halifax. Looked out as a political business, this Halifax matter is great for the democrats. It will make thousands of votes -in the state. The members who reflect are disgusted at the behavior of Hancock, and Sutton of New Hanover, wno urged tne taDling or the bill to ex tend the time for this odious Halifax law to go into effect. - And ! now comes State Treasurer Worth and urges Representative Mc is-enzie to introduce a Dill to appro priate $15,000 for fences around the great convict farms in Halifax. The cost of fences in the county, which has for twelve years been without them will reach 1500,000 it is said. Senator Clark says that the bill is the result of a fight in Halifax between the rich and the poor. By his own confession it is .thus class legislation aimed at the land owners and affects every land' owner in the county. j , There was another big political 'sen satlon yesterday, when it was stj&ted tnat uovernor Russell had attacked senator Odom, .populist bolter from Anson. Odom is the senator who, it has been alleged, is to receive the Wadesboro postofflce for voting for Senator. Pritchard. The governor said "I want It understood now that I would go Into the penitentiary and pick out the worst criminal there, issue him a pardon and then appoint him on the board ox penitentiary directors, tefora l would appoint that scoundrel Odom to anything, and before I will appoint an Anson county populist to anv po sition you must bring me a certificate from him certifying that he does no respect or even speak to this dirty scoundrel." Odom voted against the governor's .bill tolannul the lease o ijip xNortn vjaronna railway. inis remarkable declaration by the governor aroused the wrath of the porullst bolters and the friends of Sen ator PritChard. mainly western men The fact is the relations between the eastern and western republicans are necommg Quite strained and the west rrn ones oo not nesitate to express their contempt for a number of those rrom the east.
