when within about two blocks of |
his residence, he discovered just
in front of him and directly in

looked and smelled exactly like a
ferocious lion, and having neither
pistol, shot gun or cannon, he
could do nothing better than hunt
a friend who would undertake to
oust the monster. He soon found

with a lantern and other weapons
of defense, and sure enough they

WHY KIDNEY DISEASE
IS DANGEROUS.
Neglect of the First Warning Symp
toms is the Prime Cause of so
Many Deaths from the Dreaded
Bright’s Disease.
It Is Easily Curable in the Early Stages.
Kidney diseases are so destructive to
human life because they do not manifest
alarming symptoms until the constitu
tion is seriously weakened and the
strength exhausted. Then, too often,
the remedies employed by many physi
cians are of indifferent or doubtful value,
and the patient rapidly sinks under the
disease. The wisest course is to apply a
reliable kidney and liver remedy on the
first appearance of the symptoms. A
little uneasiness in the small of the back,
digestive troubles, bowel irregularities
and disorder in the urinary organs are
matters of small moment in the estima
tion of strong men and women, yet they
have a serious meaning. They show
clearly that the kidneys are suffering
and need help, which must be forth
coming at once to prevent serious, per
haps fatal consequences. A few doses
of Prickly Ash Bitters at this time would
prove of incalculable value in restoring
the weakened organs to health. An
investment of one dollar in a bottle of
Prickly Ash Bitters when the disease is
yet in the early stage will save hundreds
or dollars in doctor s oius, oesiues iuc
suffering that would surely follow should
the disease be allowed to fasten itself in
the body. The excellent curative power
of Prickly Ash Bitters is not confined to
the first stages of kidney disease. It is
equally efficacious in severe or chronic
cases. Physicians have used it as a last
resort, in cases that defied their best
efforts, with the most brilliant results,
and it has shown its superiority over the
many so-called kidney cures, now being
loudly advertised, in instances innu
merable.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having
the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
large figure 3 in red ou the front label.
Sold at Drug Stores, $1.00 per bottle. \
turb it that night. However,
the trouble did not end here, for
our friend went to the country a
few nights later to sit up with a
friend and “on the way out, ” en
countered a far more vicious ani
mal than the lion, as this one act
ually attacked him, and it was
with great difficulty that he ex
tricated himself from its em-1
brace; however, he succeeded in
getting away, somewhat disfig
ured but still in the ring.

SNAILS OVERRUN A CITY.

A plague of snails, or aiuga, aa tho af
flicted people call them, lately struck
Jeffersonville. lnd„ in full force, and
Instances are cited where persona have
been compelled to move. Their flrak
appearance was after the flood of Fd>
ruary, 1884, but they have never been
so bad aa at present. The pests are
not exactly like a snail, but,resemble
them in some respects. They have no
shells end are night raiders, eays the
New York World.,,
At no place in the city where the
flood water failed to reach has one of
the slugs been seen, but In the most
fashionable quarters the pests are
numerous. In sise they range from
one to six inchea in length, being from
a quarter to an inoh in diameter.' It in
not until ten o'clock at night that the
analls come out of, their Riding place*
under houses, and slug hunting parties
have become fashionable.
Armed with a lamp and a cup of salt,
the people bunt for t)i«.Wit. and when
a slug ia found its days are numbered,
tor the smallest particle of salt means
death. The mbre Salt the quicker the
work.
They leave behind a slimy track, that

achieved the greatest success of
recent years. Appreciating this
fact, the publisher of Collier’s
Weekly, New York, induced Mr.
Doyle to write a final series of
the great detective’s adventures.
Repeated refusals were followed
by increased inducements, and
finally Mr. Doyle agreed to write
thirteen stories for $45,000, or
abouf 60 cents a word. 1 he en

The amount paid by Collier’s is
the largest ever paid for such
work and does not include the
right to publish the stories in
book form. By specia arrange

stories are being printed in the
Kansas City Star, one story each
week, beginning in the daily
edition of Saturday, February
and in the weekly Wednesday,
February 15.
