CURES
* THE KIDNEYS
Kidney disease is the enemy we have most to fear
25 2 result of the feverish haste of modern civilization.
It is a treacherous enemy working- out its deadly effect
under cover of such trifling- symptoms as headache, slight
but backache, dizziness, heart-throbbing, weak
xmstipation, frequent or diminished passage of
ur ine, scalding urine, sediment in urine.
PRICKLY ASH BITTERS
is a kidney medicine of the greatest merit. Its action is healing
and strengthening, quickly relieves aching or soreness in the
back, check* wasting or decay of the kidneys, corrects the
flow of urine and through its excellent cleansing and
regulating effect in the stomach, liver and bowels it
speedily restores the strength and ruddy glow of
vigorous health.

OBJECT TO CORNER CURVE.
Dr. M. M. Ham Seeks to Have Street Rail*
way Run It’s Line Further Out From
His Property, Corner West Wash
ington and Main Streets.
Drs. M. M f and E.P. Ham objects
to the street railway running so
close to their property corner West
Washington and Main streets. In
order to adjust the matter, a special
call meeting of council was held
at 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon,
when tbe matter was debated at
length* by the council and the in
terested parties.
The matter ended by a resolu
tion by council not to interfere
with the street railway company
in laying the track at this corner
but to allow them to go ahead
with their work. Those who voted
to allow the work to proceed were,
Aldermen Thompson, Dozier and
Dunlap; and those voting against
this resolution and favoring a
switch on the East Washington
street end of the line were Aider-
men Pierce and Williams, Aider-
man Staton not being present.
Drs. Ham immediately applied,
through their attorney, Col. W. F.
Findley, to Judge J. J. Kimsey at
Cleveland for an order restraining
the electric company from pro
ceeding with the work, and the
judge signed the same at Cleve
land last night. The order was
taken by a special runner who had
a relay of horses, and it was re
ceived in Gainesville at 10 o’clock
this morning. The defendants
were immediately served, and the
work was stopped, but the grading
had already been done across |the
street.
Judge Kimsey fixed March 30th
at chambers in Gainesville, for
the hearing of the petition, and
calling on the defendants to show,
cause before him why the prayers
of petitioners should not be grant
ed. He also ordered that the
plaintiffs should give bond in the
sum of $5000 to protect the elec
tric company from any damages
that might accrue to them by rea
son of the order restraining them
from proceeding with the work.
The fight between the plaintiffs
and tbe electric company has ex
cited considerable interest, and
the outcome of the case will be
watched closely byj the people of
the city.
As the franchise given the street
railway company provides for its
completion by the first of April in
the city limits, and as the pay
ment of the local subscriptions
for stock are contingent upon the
line’s completion by that date,
some interesting complications are
likely to arise over the litigation
now under way.

NATIONAL PHANTOMS
GHOSTS THAT HAUNT THE UNITED
STATES CAPITOL.
▲ Story of Specters That Stallc at
Night Wlieii tlie Halls of Legisla
tion Are Gloomy and. Deserted, as
Told by One of tbe Old Guards.
Like most repositories of good stories,
the ancient man who has spent dec
ades as a guard in the capitol in Wash
ington did not yield up the fullness of
his narratpry riches without a struggle.
“It’s unpleasant to be made a mock
of by the skeptical,” he protested. “Do
you believe in ghosts, young man?”
» “If answering in the affirmative be
gets an interesting tale, I do,” returned
the writer.
“Well, starting on the premise that
you do believe to some extent in the
supernatural, I will admit you to my
confidence,” resumed the old guard,
and here goes for the authentic yarn
of the spooks that haunt the nation’s
capitol:
“In the long, monotonous watches of
the night Innumerable are the spooks,
hobgoblins and the eerie, vapory
things which glide from the shadowy
nooks and crannies of the intangible
nowhere to people the capital's vast
stretches of darkness. Of course you
know of the extraordinary acoustic
freaks which obtain in many parts of
the great building—how a whisper, a
breathed word at one particular point
Is audible at another scores of feet dis
tant? Yes. Now, at night these acous
tic spirits simply go mad. Where they
by day were pygmies they expand into
giants, and a whistle, a sudden sound,
a footfall, resolves itself into a pan
demonium.
“Weird, terrifying noises beat upon
the eardrums of the watchmen as they
pursue their lonely patrols through the
seeming miles of corridors, and then
the spooks, the shades of the nation’s
great,, the astral bodies of those that
toiled in obscurity for the nation’s good,
dodge the watchmen’s step, some
grand and awful in their speechless
dignity, some creeping humbly about
in apologetic silence, some laughing,
some sobbing, but all of them horrible
—horrible.”
The old man paused to muse.
“Do you know,” he said, breaking
into his own reverie explosively, “Feb.
23 is a date dreaded by many of the
capitol night guards? It was on this
day, in 1848, that John Quincy Adams
died in the chamber of the house of
representatives, now Statuary hall,
where the exact spot is marked by a
brass tablet. Promptly at midnight
on every anniversary of his death the
shade of John Quincy Adams appears
in a sort of phosphorescent glow over
this brass tablet. Oh, dozens of guards
have seen it from time to time as well
as I, and I can refer you to many of
them for affirmation of my assertions.
“Once over the spot the shade begins
to gesticulate, after the manner of a
member addressing the house. Then,
all of a sudden, the fine face becomes
distorted and agonized, the gracefully
waving arms fall convulsively, and
down sinks the shade with all the
movements of an expiring man. Then
the phosphorescent glow fades away,
and the ethereal effigy dissolves.
“But, although lost sight of, its pres
ence is still made known by the ‘clump,
flop, clump, flop,’ of invisible foot
falls departing down one of the long
vacant corridors.
“Stranger than this is the ghost of
the entire congress of 1848, which ap
pears in vigorous if spooky session ev
ery once in awhile in Statuary hall, the
old hall of representatives, as I have
previously remarked. Inaudible, but
spirited, are the debates; energetic to
the bursting point of vehemence are
the silent political dissensions. Pro
voked by a doubting Thomas, a mem
ber of the capitol night watch several
years ago made affidavit that he had
seen this ghostly congress in session.
Yes, he was a sober man and true.
“The shade of General John A. Lo
gan is a frequent visitor at the capitol.
Almost every alternate night at half
past 12 o’clock this ghost materializes
at the door of the room occupied by
the senate committee on military and
militia. Silently the door swings open,
and out steps the looming and lumi
nous presence, to stalk in stately dig
nity away into the swallowing gloom.
This is a favorite phantom with the
guards. Its conduct is exemplary.
“Then there is the shade of Vice
President Wilson, who died in his room
in the senate end of the capitol, you
will recall. Its peregrinations are few
and desultory. When it does come,
there is always an expression of con
cern and self absorption in the ghostly
face. The movements of the vapory
body are restless and hurried.
“Ail of the older members of the
night watch are well acquainted with
Vice President Wilson’s apparition and
never fail to salute it, although, truth
to tell, the shade remains haughtily in
different to their deference. This spook
rarely fails to put In an appearance
when the body of a dead legislator or
statesman of national renown is lying
in state in the caoitoL

A Warm Send-off for Nan.
The following epitaph appears in a
Monroe county, Missouri, churchyards
Poor Nan Brown’s feet were never
warm.
But always cold as ice;
She took a red hot brick to bed
And thought it, oh. so nice.
The fire department came too late,
They raised an awful row,
But couldn’t find poor Nan at all.
Her feet are warmer now.—Ex.
Bright Bits.
