The functions of the liver and kidneys in the human system are of the utmost importance in the maintenance of health. The blood circulates through the liver, and the luty of this organ is to separate the bile from the blood. The liver becoming torpid or diseased, fails to extract this biliary matter, and the blood and whole system becomes poisoned with, a superabundance of bile, which should have been off from the system, and you become bilious; the brain is affected, and you have a bilious headache.

In a few weeks the appetite fails, there is sickness at the stomach, bad breath, pain in the side, and dyspepsia. The kidneys separate the uric acid from the blood. Heavy lifting, overwork of any kind, a cold or disease settling here, may weaken the kidneys that they fail "to do their duty, fail to extract the uric acid and other matter; and in this case the blood become poisoned, causing rheumatism, weak back, pain, languor, swollen feet and general debility. Other diseases must inevitably follow. Dr.

Wadsworth, the chronic disease epe cialist, at 20 North Clinton street, is curing kidney and liver complaints, pronounced Incurable by others. If you are a sufferer, go and see him, and get a correct diagnosis free. Hours 9 to 5. Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday until 8 P. M.

Under International Auspices to be Held at Albion. MANY NOTED SPEAKERS The Conference Will Begin Next Saturday and Continue Several Days -The Names of the Speakers and Their Addresses Orleans. The programme of the conference of Christian Workers, under the auspices of the international association, to be held at Albion beginning Saturday of this week, is as follows: Morning session will open with devotional and praise service leu uy Rev. J. C.

Collins, of New Haven, singing by L. W. Brown, of the Christian Men's Union and McAuley Mission, of New York. At 9:30 there will be brief addresses of welcome and work of the conference by the following gentlemen: Rev. John C.

Collins, Rev. II. W. Pope, of New Haven, L. W.

Brown, New York; Eben Bynstead. Boston; II. B. Gibbud, Syracuse, and the pastors of the churches at Albion. In connection with the work at Albion will be the Christian Workers training class, led by II.

B. Gibbud. The institutional church in villages and smaller cities, including men's unions and wives prayer circles, will be the subject of Rev. H. W.

Pope's address on the first day. Mr. Barnstead, of Boston, will also talk upon the subject of "The Conversation of Children." At the evening service H. B. Gibbud, Rev.

II. W. Pope and others will speak. The meetings on Sunday will open by a prayer and consecration service in the Presbyterian church chapel, led by Rev. J.

C. Collins. A meeting for men conducted by Mr. Gibbud will be held in the Methodist Church in the afternoon; a meeting for boys in the Presbyterian Church, conducted by Rev. Mr.

Collins and Mr. Burnscead, and a meeting the same afternoon, conducted by Mr. Pope, for young women and girls in the Baptist Church. There will be three services on Monday and Tuesday, Miss M. E.

He was 67 years of age, and his wife, two children and three brothers are the survivors. A case of diphtheria which resulted fatally, was that of Miss Stowell at Murray Station on Friday, who was aged 17 years.

The burial occurred on the same day. In regard to the electric lights at Albion, the streets are still in darkness at night, and no action has been taken to arrange matters for lighting them, either by electricity or gas. The village was illumin ated with electric lights on April 7, 1S90, six years ago to-day. The Medina village meeting next week, April 15th, promises to be the usual diverting and exciting spectacle. It is understood that the common council will ask for about the same amounts as last year and that the question of improved streets will enter largely into the discussions.

It is known that the present council favors permanent street improvement and not the system of patching which has cost thus far in the history of Medina something like $100,000, with nothing to show for it except the superb bit of street built last year. There is an element greatly opposed to anything more than a smoothing of the surface each season and some lively debating is expected. The electric lighting matter is also unsettled and this question will also be submitted to the taxpayers for decision, the board of trustees declining to take action at the advanced price without a vote of the taxpayers. NIAGARA. The Middleport union school will form a teacher's training class at the opening ot the next school year thus giving employment to another teacher.

The Raines bill was observed by all the saloonkeepers in the village of Middle-port Sunday.

The April term of the supreme court for the trial of equity causes began at 10:15 o'clock, at Waterloo, yesterday morning, Justice Edwin A.

Is ash, of Livingston, presiding. After hearing a number of ex parte motions the calendar was called by the judge. Cause No. 1, Patrick Harrington vs. Nora Holland was argued by F.

L. Manning for the plaintiff! and MacDon-ald Brothers for defendant. This was an action to set aside a deed. No. 2, Edgar H.

Gambee vs. Millard F. Gambee, an action for partition, was ready for trial. Hammond Hammond for plaintiff and F. L.

Manning for defendant. No. 3, Charles Stephens vs. Kattie Stephens Johnston, an action brought to set aside a deed, was ready for argument. T.

Robinson for plaintiff and R. G. Miller for defendant. No. 4 Haberle Crystal Springs Brewing Company vs.

James Redmond was ready for trial. This action is to set aside a fraudulent transfer of property. F. L. Manning for plaintiff and Hammond Hammond for defendant.

No. 5, Marquis L. Peck, as administrator, vs. John E. Richardson, as executor.

This is an argument of a demurrer. Miller, Gridley Pratt for plaintiff and MacDonald Brothers for defendant. No. 6, James Rice vs. George Ogden and August B.

Smith, as administrators. This was an action to restrain the statutory foreclosure of a mortgage. Clarence L. Smith for plaintiff and C. O.

Townsend for defendant. The latter entered an affidavit to have the case go over the term. In the divorce case of Emma M. Crabb vs. Charles C.

Crabb, evidence was taken during a short adjournment to the grand jury room. George Rankin, of Farmer, a native of Scotland, who came to this country in 18S5, swore allegiance to the United States and was naturalized. W. W. Os-goody, of Rochester, is the stenographer of the court.

stricken from the calendar. The court was adjourned sine die yesterday afternoon. The Seneca Falls public schools opened yesterday for the spring term. The attendance was full. Rev.

J. A. Nally will address the Young Men's Christian Association, at Waterloo, next Sunday afternoon. Peter Neilson, Jans Larsen and John F. Carleton were naturalized at the equity term of court at Waterloo yesterday.

Oswald Emmett has purchased the interest of his former partner, Reynold Sey-bold, in the saloon at Waterloo, and will conduct the business. William Brownell died at his home in Junius yesterday, aged about C5 years. He had lived in that town thirty-five years and leaves a wife and son. The excise board met at Waterloo yesterday, and granted Horace Ogden, of Border City, a license until April 30th, until the Raines law goes into effect. Miss Frank Crocker, of Waterloo, will go to Newark, N.

this week, to act as bridesmaid at the marriage of her cousin, Miss Belle Crocker, April 15th. The next quarterly meeting of the Cayuga and Seneca county Sons of Veterans association representing Auburn, Seneca Falls, Waterloo, Port Byron, Ovid and Lodi, will be held at Seneca Falls April 2Gth. The proposed amendment to the charter of the village of Seneca Falls for the appointment of a police justice has been amended in the committee on villages at Albany and will be reported to the assembly to-day. If it becomes a law the office will be made elective. The cost to Seneca Falls of the petit effort made by the board of aldermen to make the office an appointive one and thus retain tne patronage to the board will be about $500, sufficient to pay for two new village charters.

Yesterday at Seneca Falls a strike occurred among the laborers employed by Contractor Patrick on the Gleason level canal job. The men, numbering between twenty and thirty, have been receiving $1.25 per diem since the job began. Yesterday they came on with a repetition of a recent demand, which was refused and the men left the job at once, all claiming that they can now get $1.50 for a day's work and will not work for less. The contract must be completed before navigation opens and it is very probable that the contractor will be obliged to pay the going wages. WAY3TB.

Deaths at South Butler Wedding at Palmyra Notes and News. South Butler union school began the spring term yesterday with the same corps of teachers. The session of the Presbyterian Church at Marion has arranged with Rev. Charles Ray to continue his pastorate with that church. On Saturday Mrs.

Eliza Skinner, one of the oldest ladies at West Walworth, received a stroke of palalysis which disabled her right side. Joseph Williams and Miss Kittie Paus-ley, of Clyde, were united in marriage at the Methodist Episcopal Church parsonage last Saturday morning, Dev. David Keppell officiating.

Sher-ill, in Palmyra, when Miss Helen Arnold, of Palmyra, and Hermann Luther, of Dolgesville, were united in marriage, by Rev. Samuel B. Sherrill. Funeral services of Nelson Benjamin, whose death occurred on Friday, aged 88 years, were held from the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Abram Caywood, of South Butler, with whom he resided, on Sunday and were conducted by Rev.

Mr. Short, pastor of the Methodist Protestant Church. The funeral of Mrs. Sarah Martin, of East Williamson, was held yesterday afternoon at the Reformed Church in that place, Rev. M.

Ossewaarde officiating. Deceased was born in Holland, but had lived in this town for the past twenty-five years. Her death occurred Saturday at the age of 72 years. Her husband and two children, Jacob Martiu and Mrs. Buerman, survive.

The death of Nelson Hogan, who resided one mile south of the village of South Butler, occurred on Sunday, after a Ion illness. His age was 82 years. Be He Had Operated in a Small But Systematic Manner. HIS METHOD OF WORKING Offered Bogus Checks in Payment Of Goods Purchased for Greater Amount Than Bill and Pocketed Goods and Change Steuben. A small bnt systematic forger was captured in Bath by Chief of Police Ormsby yesterday afternoon.

He operated under fire aliases and the police of Bath had been on the lookout for him for six weeks. Ou February 15th last, a man bought a pair of shoes of J. W. Castle Son, in Bath, tendering a check for $8 in payment, drawn by A. E.

Morris upon the Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank of Bath, payable to the order of R. J. Wilson, by whom it was indorsed. Mr. Castle accepted the check and gave the balance in change.

When ths check was presented at the bank it was found that no such man as A. E. Morris had an account there. Yesterday afternoon Robert Ormsby, son of Chief Ormsby, told his father that he had seen Morris upon the street. As Morris had stopped at the Cornwall house during February, where he registered as II.

C. Burnham, of Seneca Falls, Chief Ormsby went at once to the hotel, but Morris was out. They met him on the street, however, and he was immediately identified by Egbert Castle as the man to whom he sold the shoes in February. Morris was taken before Police Justice John A. Adams, to whom he eaid that his name was Bert Morse.

He was too intoxicated to plead and the justice sent him to jail over night to sober up. When searched at the jail, a check dated April 5, 1S96, drawn by A. L. Williams to the order of A. E.

Morris upon Ha Hock's Bank of Bath was found on him. The amount was $8.36. Later it was discovered that the man had bought a pair of shoes worth $3.23 at Robie's, paying for them with a $16.20 check upon llal-lock's Bank, drawn by E. F. Parker, the insurance agent, to the order of W.

E. Prall. Morse received the balance of $12.95 in cash, which he had when arrested. A peculiar feature of the last two checks is that they are both drawn upon new check blanks, which had not yet been given out by Hallock's Bank to its customers. Morse will be arraigned this morning before Justice Adams and will doubtless be held to await the action of the grand jury upon the charge of forgery.

Morse is a young man 25 to 30 years old and is said to come from Cameron. He has worked for James F. Doyle, of The hotels and saloons of Cohocton are complying strictly with the Raines excise law. Asa McDowell, William Gouse Homerpenks and Charles Land and H. Tripp are at Depew.

Invitations are out for the marriage of Albert C. Doty, of Hornellsville, and Miss Laura Miller, of Pulteney, to take place Thursday, April lath. A passenger train of thirteen coaches and three baggage cars, and containing nearly 500 emigrants, passed through Co hocton Sunday, boupd for Buffalo and the West. A large number enjoyed the first annual ball of the Bath Typothetae last even-ipg. The hall was elaborately decorated and Austin's orchestra of ten pieces furnished the music.

Erastus Lee, aged 88 years, died in Corning Sunday. He was a cousin of Fitzhugh IiOe, ex-governor of Virginia, and a well-known Confederate general. He formerly resided at Coopers. The census of Cohocton village will have to be taken to determine the price of license under the Raines law, as no census, either state or national, has been taken since the village has been incorporated. An air-lock formed in the pipes of the Cohocton water works Friday last between the reservoir and the springs.

The difficulty was remedied Saturday by tapping the pipe and letting the air out. At one time it looked as though Cohocton would experience a very dry Sunday with the air-lock and the Raines bill in force. Pete Balschok, a Hungarian, employed at the glass works in Corning at treading clay, started for his home which is situated above the Erie yards, yesterday afternoon, when he boarded an Erie freight and while attempting to get off, he fell beneath the wheels of the moving train and had both legs cut oft! near the knees. He was taken to a house near by and Dr. II.

A. Argue and Dr. T. A. Mc-Ntmara were summoned to attend to his injuries.

He was found to be so badly injured that nothing could be done for him except to make him rest as quietly as possible. There is no possibility of his surviving more than a few hours at the utmost. Balshock is 32 years old and supposed to be married. OJTTABIO. Death of William 0.

Bunn, Editor and Publisher of the Geneva Courier. William O. Bunn, editor and publisher of the Geneva Courier, died at a late hour Sunday night. He had been suffering for many months from a complication of diseases. It is understood, however, that Bright's disease and tuberculosis were the direct causes of his death.

Mr. Bunn was born at Skaneateles in 1839. A few years afterwards his parents removed to Homer and there his early life was spent. He was educated in Cortland Academy and for many years he was engaged as a traveling salesman.

The Raines bill is being enforced to the letter in Penu Yan, No free lunches are now forthco.n- ing, not even so much as a cracker being given away.

The saloons and hotels close their bar-rooms at 1 o'clock, and Saturday night every place in the village closed at 12 o'clock promptly. Chief of Police Danes, accompanied by two or three other officers, patroled the village and notified all persons to close at that hour and open up all screens, blinds, etc. The request was complied with, and nearly every barroom in the village was thrown wide to show that no business was being done. Sunday they re trained the same and very few people enjoyed the luxury of a glass of beer, unless it was purchased Saturday. IilVIXGSTON.

As owners of the boat houses along the pier make examinations new evidences of damage are not ed. The ice tore away portions of the Smiley and Sterling houses and in the for mer the pressure of the Ice was sufficient to crush a fine St, Lawrence skiff, breaking it like an eggshell.

The boat houses of Messrs. Harris Foster were unroofed by the wind and a number of other houses were moved from their foundations. The yacht house and yacht of E. L. Van Wormer was badly damaged.

The N. Willy's boat house also succumbed to the strong pressure of the wind and ice and the yacht therein lies sunk beneath the water. The lake is now nearly cleared of ice and the danger of further damage Is over. Early yesterday morning an alarm frcm box 43 aroused Canandaigua firemen and business men for the box is located in the center of the business portion of the place. In addition to the alarm from the box some one sent in a general alarm and the old-fashioned way of awaking citizens by clamoring on the church bells was resorted to.

The hubbub was sufficient to cause great consternation and many people thought a serious conflagration was imminent. This suspicion was heightened when those hurrying to the fire arrived in sight of it, for the flames illuminated the Canandaigua hotel and it appeared at first as though that building was all ablaze. The building in which the fire was located was in reality Switchman Hogan's shanty in the Central-Hudson yards, opposite the Canandaigua hotel. The building and con tents were destroyed. Loss not to exceed $100.

The spring term of the Belmont high school opened yesterday.

The Carter Package Company's factory at Belmont, which was closed all last week on account of the high water of the Genesee flooding the machinery in the basement, is again in running order, the water having reached its normal level once more. The piincipal fuel in use by the people of central and southern Allegany is natural gas, which is piped in from neighboring wells. Much difficulty has been experienced during the colder days of the past winter on account of the supply falling short of the demand, and many are threatening to dispense with the gas service altogether and use coal or wood in its place. The supply has always been so plentiful that very few meters are used. By paying a certain amount by the month or year a patron is privileged to us any amount desired and it is often much easier to permit the gas to burn than to turn it off.

In the streets of many of the gas and oil towns the gas is never turned off during the day, it being much cheaper to let it bum than to hire men to light it anew each night. Some new system will soon have to le adopted or the numerous gas stoves of this section with have to be exchanged for those built for coal and wood.
