II REAL KIDNEY MEDICINE
ALWAYS RELIABLE
I feel that I ouiJ't to tell what I
mow about Swamp-Hoot and what it
has done for me. J was down and
jut and had to quit "~.-rk in 1906; I
only weighed 135 pounds. The doc-
tor said I had kidney trouble in the
worst form, and my liver was out of
srder; and I had rheumatism so bad-
ly I could not get around. One day
I picked up an almanac and saw your
advertisement, and it fit my case ex-
actly. I got a one-dollar bottle and
took it and when it was gone I felt so
much better that f bought five more
bottles of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root
and I was a well man; my weight in-
creased until I weigh 219 pounds. I
am 05 years old and I am feeling fine
"and work every day. I have three
men who knew me when t had to
quit work in the mill-in 1906. and who
will make affidavit to my present
health.
If you want to use the above state-
ments as my testimonial, you have my
consent.
Yours very truly,

BERLIN, May 27 —In Egypt the
British are facing a serious revolt
among the native tribes, news of which
has up to now been kept from the
world by the rigid censorship.. A Ger-
man business man long resident in
Egypt recently returned to Berlin and,
according to tha Vosslche Seitung, de-
scribes conditions thus:
In spite of the strictest censorship
and cable control the Inhabitants of
the Nile basin have received speedy
and reliable war news via the penin-
sula of Slnal and Tripoli. The report
of the battle at Tatrnenburg, with all
particulars, was the topic of the day in
Cairo before the Anglo-Egyptian au-
thorities received any official informa-
tion about it, though General Max-
well, the military commander, whose
attention had been drawn to the Ger-
man victory by the jubilation of the
Moslems, wired to Malta and even to
the British ambassador at Petrograd,
inquiring whether there was any truth
In the report.
Tribes Celebrate German Victory.
During the following days the Brit-
ish authorities pasted up placards
printed in English, French and Arabic
contradicting the German news of the
victory and proclaiming in large type
fictitious victories of the allied forces.
Meanwhile popular enthusiasm be-
came openly manifest in spite of the
precautionary measures of the Eng-
lish, such as transporting all the na-
tive regiments to upper Egypt and
Nubia and bringing bodies of Euro-
pean troops to Cairo and the delta
from the Sudan.
According to close observers of af-
fairs in the east, nearly all the Turks
and Persians were openly or secretly
leaving the towns in lower Egypt.
There were tens of thousands of cam-
els crossing the Suez canal* at El Kan-
tara and moving eastward toward Pal-
estine. The English regarded this
merely as a demonstration on the part
of the Moslems, because the reigning
khedive had been arbitrarily deposed
by the English and because Maxwell
had forbidden all pilgrimages to
Mecca.
This opinion prevailed until the
news arrived a few days later that the
diplomatic relations between Turkey
and the powers of the triple entente
had been discontinued. In spite of
the increased control of passports and
the press censorship which ensued |

For weeks the grand sheik had not
been staying at his residence at all.
His messengers were calling upon all
the free desert tribes to take up arms,
and finally the chief of the Senussi
collected about 70,000 warriors, all
riders. With these forces the Senussi
occupied the oasis of Sivah on Novem-
ber 1.
The English garrison at the frontier
was cut down. They then marched
east. After a three days' journey to the
west of the Nile the Vftnguard of the
Senussi came across the' English dep-

Natives Destroy Ballroads.
When stronger English forces ar-
rived the Senussi had long since dis-
appeared and marched southward. As
early as November 21 their bands of
riders had spread over the whole of
Fayum. They destroyed all railways.
Even the Nile valley railway from
Cairo to Assuan was cut at the Station
of Wasta. The forces of the Senussi
having Increased in the meantime to
some 80,000, the brank sheik was able
to divide his men and surprise the
English troops at several places at one
time.
Moreover, at the end of November
there were a few isolated revolts in
Kordosar* and In the districts of Se-
nuar and Kassala, which then became
one general revolution when the der-
vish Mabur Ey Sal, or the new mahdi,
as he is naw called everywhere, car-
ried the blood red standard of the
holy war into the Nile valley.
From all sides the dissatisfied flock-
ed to his standard, so that he was soon
able to march upon Lake No with
0,000 riders. On December 13, 40,000
dervishes marched against Fashoda,
against whom General Hawley man-
aged to pit 6,000 British-Eyptian
troops. Of this number many native
soldiers crossed over to the dervishes,
so that the government troops were
hardly more than 2,000 men, and they
were overrun by the rebels at the first
onslaught.
British General Killed.
General Hawley and all his officers
fell. Most of the soldiers lost their
lives under the javelin thrusts of the
wild desert riders. Mabur El Sal had
all the prisoners beheaded. The new
mahdi sent the head of General Haw-
lew to Khartum, with the message
that every Englishman in Khartum
would suffer the same fate as this ac-
cursed one, whom the sword of Allah
had cut down.
The consequence of this frist great
dervish feat of arms was that all the
tribes that had hitherto been loyal to
England now deserted the govern-
ment, and thus the Egyptian govern-
ment was compelled to transfer to
the Sudan great masses of troops that
were to resist the Turks on the Suez
canal. It is not saying too much that
the whole of the Sudan, with Khar-
tum, its capital, and a great part of
Nubia are in the undisputed posses-
sion of the dervishes.
Sudan Revolt Disastrous.
Two events showed the British how
serious matters stood for them In the
land of the Pharaohs, the invasion of
the Senussi and the revolt in the Su-
dan, which is still raging and has
caused terrible losses. The attempt
of the Egyptian government to secure
the neutrality of the grand sheik of
eput&tlon
otuia
capital was immediately converted
into a military depot and the troops
in and around Cairo were sent west-
ward at once. The garrison* at
Fayum and the troops stationed at Al-
exandria, Damanhur and Tanta were
levied against the Senussi.
Australian Force Surprised.
The Senussi, however, would not let
themselves be drawn into an open con-
flict, but confined themselves, accord-
ing to a well formed plan that can be
traced back to IOnver Pasha, to con-
tinually disturbing and menacing the
basin of the Nile and thus detracting
the attention of the British from what
was going on beyond the Suez canal.
How diligently the Senussi under-
took this task is evident from the fact
that on November 19 the camp of
Australian volunteers at Menadosse
(pyramids ofGizeh) was surprised and
completely destroyed by Tibestl riders
and about 10,000 wild Tuaregs.
The Bedouins plunged and robbed
all the tents, capturing fourteen ma-
chine guns, eight Maxims and large
quantities ( f tinned goods and ammu-
nition. The incursion cost the Aus-
tralians over 200 lives. Most of the
men were killed with javelins.

A letter from the Texas Good Boads
association, in which it was stated that
Temple is being considered as the Tex-

launched for a great membership cam-

was motioned that the secretary be in-
structed to write Secretary I). E. Culp
of the association, inviting his organ-
ization to Temple June 26, Saturday,
on which date the great campaign
will be launched. Because of the fact
that many of the farmers of Bell coun-
ty are very busy at present and would
be unable to participate in the pro-
ceedings at this time, were the asso-
ciation to meet here to launch this
campaign, the date in the early part of
June, which was considered by the
league, was deemed unsuitable. The
communication from Secretary Culp
was originally sent John T. Band, sec-
retary of the Temple Chamber of
