The jury was sent out at 6 o'clock Saturday night but it was an "hour later before they began their deliberations. At 9:45 o'clock a verdict was returned against the trust. The jury agreed not to tell how many ballots were taken but it is the general belief that there was only one. This is the first time the Standard Oil company, against which the charge of accepting rebates to stifle competition has been made so repeatedly, has ever been found guilty of the charge.

The ause of Many Sudden Deaths. There is a disease prevailing in this Country most dangerous because so decep tive. sudden deaths are caused by it heart dip-ease, pneumonia, heart failure or apoplexy are often the result of kidney disease. If kidnev trouble is allowed toadvance the kidney-poison- ed blood will at tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of tne bladder, or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell. Bladder troubles almost always result from a derangement of the kidneys and a ewe is obtained quickest by a proper treatment of the kidne-s.

If jou are feeling badly you can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy. It corrects inability to held urine and scalding pain in passing it, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled, to go often through the day, and to get up many times during the sight. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases.

Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar size bottles. You may have a sample bottle of this wonderful new discovery and a book that tells all about it, both sent free by mail. Address, Dr. Kilmer Binghamton, N. Y.

When writing mention reading this generous offer in this paper. Don't make any mistake, but remember the name, Swamp-Root, Dr Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the address, Binghamton, N. on every bottle. ill ii i.i 1 1 mm, Considerable attention has been at tracted in the United States over the famine conditions in Russia. The national famine relief committee whic was organized in New York with the Rev.

H. C. Potter president and Sam uel J. Burrows, treasurer, has received thousands of dollars from all over the country and have immediately for warded it through their own safe channels direct to the starving peo pie. A great deal of money has been raised by the Mennonite people of the country, who although their people are not in destitute straits are neighbors to the poverty stricken people and are doing everything they can to reli37e conditions.

The Men nonite church near Goessel recently raised eight hundred dollars for the relief fund and a church near Inman also raised a large sum of money for the work. A. L. Schellenberg of this city who is manager of the Mennonite Brethren Publishing has re ceived a number of subscrfptions for the relief fund. Mr.

Schellenberg is not a regularly appointed secretary of the committee hut will receive all money sent to him for that purpose and wrill forward it to headquarters. Some idea of the amount of suffer ing can be gained when the real facts given out by the general relief com mittee state that the famine district extends over twenty-one provinces, em bracing an eara of a million and a half square miles, with a population of thirty million people, practically all of whom are now dependent upon outside assistance to maintain life until the next harvest. The famine is the greatest and most dreadful in the history of Russia. Many who faced starvation have devoured the grain which they should have saved as seed. Many being with out food have perished and thousands are perishing from cold and disease.

It is stated by the relief committee that seventy-five cents will feed one person for a month and five dollars will keep one of the destitute alive until the next harvest. FOUND A FOSSIL From Thursday's Daily. Yesterday forenoon while some men were excavating in the sand on the farm of H. Peterson, about nine miles northeast of Windom, a huge fossil, probably the tusk of seme prehistoric animal was unearthed. The tusk was found buried in the sand about two feet.

It was nine feet and four inches in length and twelve inches in diameter at the base. When exposed to the air a part of it crumbled but a section about three and a half feet long is still intact Prof. Harnly of McPherson college went over today to examine the find and may prepare for further search. At the same place where the tusk was unearthed a large tooth was also found. This leads the people to believe that other parts of the huge skeleton may be buried in the sand and deeper down are probably in a better state of preservation F.

B. Clarke of this city secured a piece of the tusk found yesterday and has exhibited it to a number of people on the street today. A RARE FIND From Friday's Daily. Prof. Harnly of McPherson college returned last evening from H.

Peterson's place nine miles northeast of Windom where he examined the large mastadon uncovered Wednesday morning in a sand bank and only two feet from the surface. The tusk was formerly more than nine feet in length but being very poorly preserved, probably for the fact that it was so near the surface, much of it has crumbled. Prof. Harnly pronounced it a rare find is the only mastadon tusk ever discov ered in this county and probably the only one in the state although large beds of other fossil remains have been found at several places.

BOOKS FOR READING KANSAS READING CIRCLE MAKES CHOICE FOR COMING YEAR Topeka, April 18. Membri of the Kansas reading cirels hav adopted for use of teachers of Kansas during the coming year the following books: Sabin's Common Sense Didactics, published by Rand-McNally. Henderson's Social Spirit, published by Scott-Forsman. The selection of the two books was not unanimous, as some of the mem bers had other preferences in the mat ter. The fight for the adoption of these books, however, was not as fiercely waged as the fight for the book contracts before the state text book commission.

Yesterday afternoon the reading circle members met for the purpose of recommending a list of books to be purchased for school libraries. This is what is known as the pupils' reading circle. The action is merely ad visory, but considerable pressure is brought to bear to induce teachers and schools to buy the books recommended. FOR SALE Strawberry plants at 25 cents per 100. D.
