INSURGENT BINDS
OVERRUN BULGARIA
Women as Well as Men
Are Made Miserable by
Kidney Trouble.
Revolutionary Movement In
Vilayet of Monastir.
'Conflicting as to Extent of Re'
n—Turkey Making Prepara
tions to Suppress Same—Railroads
Ask for More Troops.
Constantinople. Thursday. August 6
(delayed m transmission)—News re
ceived ber^ as to the extent of the
Bulgarian revolutionary movet.SCit in
the vilayet of Monastir is conflicting.
In consular dispatches from Monastir
which were received this morning, tile
opinion :'s expressed that the insurrec
tion broke out a fortnight earlier than
its chiefs intended and before the
bands were in readiness, presumably,
because the leaders were disconcert
ed by the active preventive measures
adopto-i by the authorities.
The Bulgarian inhabitants in a
number of villages have fled to the
mountains for refuge.
The railways have ashed that the
troops guarding the lines bo quad
rupled, but this would entail the em
ployment of 20,000 soldiers, and in view
of the impoverished treasury the gov
ernment will find it difficult to comply
With the request.
In ipite of reports to the contrary,
It Is confidently believed in well-in
formed circles that the porte in con
formity with its formai^ieclarations,
will employ only regular troops to sup
press the insurrection as it is well
awaro how important it is for Tur
key to avoid excesses such as certain
ly "would be the outcome of the em
ployment of tbo undisciplined Al
banians or other irregular soldiers.
The dipipmats here entertain no
doubt that the porte will continue (its
present policy of fighting with regu
lars.
KURDISH EXCES8ES FEARED.
Porte Will Hold Vails of i Armenian
Provinces Responsible.
Constantinople, August 7.—The por
te has sent categorical instructions to
the valis of the Armenian provinces
-of Asia Minor, holding tfiem personally
responsible for any Kurdis? excesses
and ordering vigorous measures to be
taken to prevent fighting. The Brit
ish vice consul at BItlis lias been or
dered to proceed to Mush, 80 miles
south of Erzeroum, wnere the Arme
nian massacres by tbo Kurds and
Ttirke occurred in 1894, to Investigate
the situation there. A consular dis
patch from Erzeroum received here
this morning says the excitement In
that district Is quieting down, but that
the vail of Erzeroum reports that 600
armed Huitchaklsts from Russian ter
ritory have compelled the Armenians
in the villages of Sassun vilayet (also
the scehe of Armenian’ massacres In
1894) to take refuge In the mountains.
The vali has sent four, battalions o(
troops against the Huifchaklsts, who
escaped to the mountains.
The porte has communicated this in-
lormaticn to the Russian embassy call
ing attention to the fact that the bands
came from Russian territory.
Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis
courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor
and, cheerfulness soon
disappear when the kid
neys are out of order
or diseased.
Kidney trouble has
become so prevalent
that it is not uncommon
, for a child to be born
y afflicted with weak kid
neys. If the child urin
ates too often, if the
urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child
reaches an age when it should be able to
control the passage, it is yet afflicted with
bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of
the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made mis
erable with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.
The mild and the immediate effect of
Swamp-Root is soon realized. It is sold
by druggists, in fifty-
cent and one dollar
sizes. You may have a
sample bottle by mail
free, also pamphlet tell- nomo of Swamp-Root,
ing all about it. including many of the
thousands of testimonial letters received
from sufferers cured. In writing Dr. Kilmer
it Co.. Binghamton, N. Y., be sure and
mention this paper.
Don't make any mistake, but remember
the name, Swamp-Root, Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, and the address, Binghamton,
N. Y.. on every bottle.

LOBBY INVESTIGATION
CAUSES SENSATIUN
It Was Sprung by Represen
tative Mills.
WAS OFFERED SUM OF $500.
Representative Mills Says He Was Ap
proached by a Man In Lobby Who
Offered Him Above Sum to Oppose
Child Labor Bill.
Atlanta, August 6.—-The most sensa
tional session of the special committee
appointed to investigate the charges ot
lobbying in the legislature was held
this morning and the sensation was
sprung by Representative W. D. Hills,
of Cherokee county.
Mr. Mil's was the member whose tes
timony was wanted yesterday,, but
When his name was called as a witness
he was absent. A summons was sent
him and be appeared today.
This morning when he took the stand
he said he had been offered money to
vote against the child labor bill.
“I was approached ny a man In tha
lobby who asked mo to vote against
the bill," he said, "and he ottered me
$500 to do aa he asked.”
Mr. Mills had seen people on the
floor of the house and senate not mem
bers. "During the pending ot the
child labor bill," said Mr, Mills, "I
had two of my constituents to make
personal appeals to me to vote against
the child labor bill. They were
stockholders in the mill at my home,
and said they thought It best for the
county that the bill should not pass.
At home 1 heard from friends of mine
that these parties had said if I voted
for the child labor bill I would be de
feated for tho senate if I ran. Yester
day I heard again that those parties
had said they would defeat me because
I did not vote against the bill.”
Mr. Mills was not approached in any
way, he said, about the textbook 'bill,
an-d nobody except members had dis
cussed the convict bill with him. Mr.
Mills said he was Improperly approach
ed once about the child labor bill. ,
“I had rather not tell who threaten
ed to beat me for the se«ite for they
are my political enemies and heven’t got
any conscience. They don’t amount
to much, and If I give their names
they wjuid claim I took advantage of
them."
Senator Hopkins insisted on the
question being answered but Senator
Davis, who asked it withdrew it.
Mr. Mills then explained why he wag
not here yesterday, saying he had a
leave ot absence to attend Cherokee
county court and didn't finish up his
case until 8 o'clock. Further, Mr. Mills
said;
“With no disrespect to the commit
tees this Investigation will amount to
a whitewash, It makes no difference
how many witnesses you summon. All
the evidence will be hearsay.”
Mr. Hopkins Interrupted, saying his
remarks were out of place and not at
all apropos. Mr. Mills was then ex
cused.
