CHASED THRU CHICAGO STREETS MiilkHin b* From WowMill ArreM- ed for Stealing Silk. Detectives and citizens pursued an alleged thief thru several down-town Chicago streets last week.*causing a panic among pedestrians and driving women to seek the shelter of hallways. Revolvers flashed during the pursuit and every time the detectives saw a good opportunity to fire at the fugitive without danger of Btriking a -pedestrian they did so. The alleged thief fled east in Randolph street to Dearborn street, then north to the alley half a block away. From there he turned east again, running toward State street. By this time a large crov^d, had joined in the pursuit. The detectives dodged under and around wagons, firing their revolvers at the fugitive, but without effect. Reaching State street, the fugitive turned north, but was finally overtaken at Lake street and placed under arrest. The prisoner was taken to the cen­ tral station, where he gave his name as James Kavanaugh and Baid his home was in Woodstock, 111. < u A short time before his capture Kav­ anaugh, it is alleged, jumped on a wag­ on belonging to Henry Jacoby; 4108 State street, which was standing in front of the Garrick theater, and seized a bundle containing silk drosses.

That it was beneficial and quiok in re­ lieving me there is no doubt and it is my intention to obtain another bottle.* FoV sale by all druggists. Pay* $8S Fine. Charles J. Miller di Round Lake was arrested Sunday by Game Warden Bingham and was tried before Justice Fitch at Grayslake Tuesday morning. The charge was violation of section 28 of the Illinois game laws, which states that the holder of a hunting license must properly sign the same himself, which Mr. Miller, thru an oversight, bad failed to do. "Ignoranoe of the law excuses no one," and the prisoner, realising that he was up against it, plead guilty and was fined |85 and costs, amounting to $27.50. This law has been declared constitutional by At­ torney Gen. W. H- Stead, aa well as another section which compels each holder of a license to have same on his person when hunting, another law which oftentimes is thoughtlessly vio­ lated. Mr. Bingham says he has re­ cently received explicit instructions to enforce both the above laws, strictly, and it would be well for our local hunt­ ers to be a little more careful hereafter.

Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by .r Kidney Trouble* *v\ 7 " ' '""wliey trouble preys upon the nUncl dis­ courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness sooh 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 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.
