TTTF ro-RyiNG OBEGONIAN. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1900. THE MINLEY LAWN A Scene That Revived Mem ories of Four Years Ago. THE PRESIDENT WAS SERENADED Be Hade a Brief Speech to Ills Can ton Neighbors, the First of the Present Catnpnlcn. CANTON, O., Nov. 5 The McKlnlcy Intra, as In the campaign of 1SSS, was tonight the scene of an enthusiastic dem onstration similar to that which closed the campaign four years ago. The Presi dent was prevailed upon to depart from bis rule, which in the face of much pres sure has been Inflexible a'.l through the campaign, and he made a short address to his neighbors and fellow-townsmen, free from partisanship, but apropos of the election tomorrow. He also Intro duced Judge Day for a short speech from the famouK front porch. The cccaslsn wa? an unadtertl'cd and unannounced se.enade by the Grand jrmy band, with several thousand people rol lowlng the band with loud cheers and hurrahs and a glare of red fire tha Illu minated the whole scene about the Mc Klnley house. The band appeared upon the streets some time after dark, and the report that the President was to be sere naded spread like wildfire. First a score fell In behind the band, then another score, then hundreds, and finally, by the time the McKlnlcy home was reached, thousands. Somewhere no one knows how a supply of red nre and torches was secured, and they were burning at their height when the cheers of the crowd around the house drowned the music of the band. Two or three selections were played In the street In front of the house, and then the band was Invited to the front of Mrs. McKInley's parlors for an other selection. After each number there wore calls for the President, and fina'ly he appeared on the porch. He bowed to the crowds in front of him and to his right and to his left, amid deafening cheers. There weie calls for a rp:ech. and some one pulled frcm the vwitlbule 'of the house a relic of the campaign of four years ago a Tennessee stump with a polished top and engraved emblem, brought here by a Tcnn ssee d legatl n The President stood uron this an3 soks as follows: "My Fellow-Citizens: I am very glad to greet you once more at my old home. xnis is not a year when I am making speeches. Tomorrow, from one end of this vast country to the other, the Amer ican people will spoak. (A voice: "For McKInley." Tremendous and long-continued cheers) "Vo must wait revarent'.y and In patience for their verdict. I know you will be glad to heara word from our fellow-townsman. Judge William Day, who has held a conspicuous place In the Administration over which you called me to preside In 18&4. I thank you and bid you good-n gh" (Tremend-us app'ause.) When the President mentirnod the name of Judge Day there was another enthusi astic ovation, and the Judge was con stantly interrupted bV applause while he spoke. THE CUP CHALLENGER. Iilpton Place the Contract With the Hendersons. NBW YORK, Nov. 5. Sir Thomas Lip ton Is conferring ai Glastrow wHh r:,.. L. Watson, (he designer of the new chal v IfiSJrw for the.America'siCUp, sayaa Lon-iSrP-'atspsIteftfe- the Herald. From au thoritative sources it is learned that Sir Thomas -visit was for the purpose of sign. Ing oontracts for the building of tha yacht. These have beon placed with the Hendersons, Meadowsldc Yard, the build ers of the Thistle, the three Valkyries, the Brlttannla, the Meteor and the Sybarlta. The date specified In the contracts for the handing over of the vessel Is March SO. The framework will be laid down this weok. The greatest precautions are btlng taken to preserve secrecy regarding the design. A footpath along the banks of the CyMe. which skirts the Hendersons' yards is already closed. As to the plans of the sailing of the defender of the cup, what E. A. Wll ard. the manager of the new boat, may do In the matter of selecting a skipper re mains to be seen. "Charley" Barr. the successful sailing master of the Columbia, will be disengaged at the end of the year. Barr brought the Vigilant back from England in 1F96, and was on that yacht during her trial races with the Defender. Mr. Wlllard Is well acquainted with Cap tain Barr's ability aa a sailing master qf cup boats. There Is another rumor about skippers. It is that Captain "Bob" Wrlnge, the sailing master of Vlce-Com. modore Belmonts 70-footer Mlneola last season, will be the sailing master of the Columbia while she Is being used as a trial boat for the new defender. Also that when the time rolls around to put the Columbia In commission. C. Oliver Iselln will be found to be again in charge. It Is now almost a certainty that the new defender vrlll be plated with bronze, says a Journal and Advertiser dispatch froraPnu-Jdyipe. It Is known that the Hrfeh6frs flro purchasing that metal. They have experimented with various metals for tensile and torsional strength and none has been found so satisfactory to Captain at s mind as a smooth i bronze which successfully resists corro sion and presents the minimum of fric tion with the maximum of lightness and durability. Captain Nat spent a large part of last week In his private shop at home, and it is understood he has completed his medel of the defender, and reduced many of his plans to writing. The work of construction. It Is rumored, will probably be started within a few weeks. ROUGH FOOTBALL. A Washington Amatenr Had His NecW Broken In a Game. NEW YORK, Nov. S.-John McQuade. a clerk In the War Department Is lying In the Emergency Hospital, his life in the balance, says a Washington special to the World. The doctors say there is an even chance that he may live. McQuade. who is 19 years old, was form erly a student at Georgetown University. He enlisted as a volunteer at the out break of the Spanish War, and when he returned home accepted a position in the War Depjrtment He was an enthuslas- tic football player. Sunday, some of the the memory of an unknown army Chap young men In the neighborhood organized . lain who preached Christ without wmS. two scrub elevens and started a game. A number of skilled players were engaged, and the port soon became very fast On a fumble McQuade caught the ball and started for the opposite goil. He was tackled hard and came directly down on his head. Several players fell on him. and when he was lifted from the ground hs hevl fell back upon his shoulders, his neck having been broKen. The electors at the hospital are taking a great Interest In the case, and if Mc-1 ijMMe hat strength enough to stand the oiwstons they are contemplating there Is hope that he will live. PARIS EXPOSITION SPORTS. Spaldlnt? Snji They Will Prove n Great Incentive to Athletics. NEW YORK. Nov. S.-Albert G. Spald ing. Director of Sports at the Paris Ex pesltion. who h-s Just arrived home from Europe, furnished a statement relative to sports at the exhibition and in Europe generally. Mr. Spalding believes the ln tecnaUonal games in Paris will prove a great incentive to athletics In Europe. The victories of the American athletes reused to much admiration that there Is a desire Jn Europe to develop athletes who can compete with those of this country. "In regard to the criticisms of the French people for mismanagement of the games," said Mr. Spalding, "I think It only fair to state that it was not due to any desire to injure our men, but to inexperience In such matters. In their de sire to treat all countries equally they may have discriminated against Amer ica, as it was certainly very galling to athletes of other nations to see the Amer icans win first, second and third places in nearly all scratch events, and when the handicaps came along they fixed the handicaps so that some other country would win. "I traveled extensively through Europe, and I believe that the countries today that are backward in track and field sports, rowing, golf and swimming will. In the course of a few years, show rapid strides In such sports, and I think noth ing will tend to increase the interest more than competitions between this country and those of Europe." Mr. Spalding heartily favors the or ganization o'f an International athletic union, which has been proposed. He says that America, which has been the leading country, should go into the new organization. THE DAY'S RACES. Races at Aqnednct. NSW YORK, Nov. 5.

But all the wounded soldier could an swer was, 'Tm so thirsty! I would rath erhave a drink of water." The Chaplain quickly fetched him some water, and then, when tho soldier asked for something under his head, he toon off his own overcoat and rolled it up to make a pillow. "If I only had something over me!" moaned the soldier, "I am so cold." In a moment the Chaplain had taken oft his undercoat to cover the sufferer, and as he was doing so the dying man looked up in his face and said: "If there Is anything in your book which makes a -man do for another what you have done for me, let me hear It" Davis & Whiting have cut about 240.U00 shingles this season at Wallowa with their new shingle mill.

Oct, 31. 19G.-Chalrman Jones, of the National Democratic Committee, claims the election of .Bryan, next Tuesday. He will carry the following states: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Irfdlana, Kansas. Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michi gan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, South Carolina. South Dakota, Ten nessee. Texas. Utah. Virginia, Washington. West Virginia, Wyoming. Jones looks upon "Bryan's chances as best" in Delaware, Iowa, Illinois Ohio, Wisconsin, ' CHICAGO. Nov. 3, 1S36. At midnight of election day, Chairman Jones gave out the following, when all the newspapers conceded McKInley's election: ' "There is no foundation for the claims of tho Republicans. There is at midnight no reason to think that any one of the states' claimed by .me for Bryan has failed to vote for him. Private advices assure us that each one of those states has gone for Bryan. Mr. Bryan is certainly elected." CHICAGO. Nov. 4. 1S96. Chairman Jones claims all the Southern States except Maryland for Bryan, with 1'48 votes, and the states west of tho Missouri, with 61, making a total of 209. He claims Delaware and Indiana, or Michigan. "There can be scarcely a doubt," he says, "of our setting Indiana. It seems to me we are entirely Justified in claiming tho election of Bryan, which I do." Again Jones said: "We cannot lose. The Republicans are perpetrating frauds. Indiana is safe for Bryan. Iowa's later returns are our way. Our people say Kentucky is all right. Cali fornia and Oregon are all right I have no fear of West Virginia, and I do not concede McKInley's election." CHICAGO, Nov. 5, lS96.-Jones gave it up. but said he was confident the "gold standard cannot give the promised prosperity." oeooooooooo9oa0oooooee9e tlclpatlng actively in the discussions, and the proceedings are harmonious. So far these have been confined to the ..effort to secure a perfect agreement by all the Ministers upon the basis of negotiations, and up to this time no efforts have been made to deal directly with tho Chinese Government It is the undo standing that when the Ministers themselves have agreed upon their programme, there will be little difficulty in securing its accept ance by the Chinese Government which is. indeed, powerless to offer serious op position to tho united demands of the powers. THE CHINESE INDEMNITY. LI Hnng Chanjr's Shrewd Scheme for Payinsr It. NEW YORK. Nov. 5. While tho powers are discussing the amount of indemnity they shall demand of China, says a Washington special to the Herald, the Imperial Government Is shrewdly present ing suggestions, the adoption of which will mean that the Western nations will themselves pay the amount demanded. LI Hung Chang and his colleagues have- pro posed that, the maritime customs be doubled in order that China may raise money to pay the indemnity. The mari time customs are at present pledged to Russia, Germany and England, as a se curity for loans. The amount of likin or internal revenue raised would probably be enough to make periodical payments if it could be turned into the imperial treasury without first having to pass through the rapacious hands of officials. The Chinese Commissioners appreciate this and profess to think the indemnity can Desc De paia ny increasing the maritime customs. It is unlikely that the United States and other powers will accept any such proposition. A diplomat at Wash ington asserts that the best Way to ob tain the Indemnity will be to demand the confiscation of the estates of those who were responsible for the outrages and to require the rich men of China to contrib ute a proportionate amount It seems to be generally admitted in Administration circles that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor will not re turn to Pekin until the former learns the intentions of the powers respecting her. The powers seem practically agreed that the Empress Dowager must not further participate in the affairs of the empire,, and must be removed to a point where she will exercise no influence upon the government This amounts to virtual ex ile. Because of the Importance of the Emperor in the eyes of the world, the Empress Dowager will probably hold him practically as a hostage. China's Eyes Opened. NEW YORK, Nov. 5. Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese Minister, thinks that when the allies withdraw from China railroad construction on a large scale win be be gun there, says a Washington dispatch to the Herald. Minister Wu has Just re turned from Pittsburg. He said last night: "I thave no doubt that as soon as the peace negotiations are satisfactorily con cluded, Western inventions, particularly of a transportation character, will be Intro duced Into my country. The Chinese peo ple have had their eyes opened to the advantages of Western methods. They will desire to utilize the rich mineral and other deposits with which the country is favored and have means for promptly transporting them to the coast I, there fore, expect that the railroad lines will be extended, but I desire It -to be under stood that I have no authority to nego tiate for material or grant concessions. These are matters which must await the conclusion of negotiations." Southern Rebellion Dying: Out. HONG KONG, Nov. 5. Reports from Canton say the East River rebels have moved up the river, and boats are now running from Pak Lo to Hu Chan. It is considered probable that the rebellion will shortly die out The reformers admit that the rising was premature, and that I they had not a sufficient supply of arms. I As the French demand the execution of the leaders in the Sbek Lung riots pla cards have been posted throughout the town urging the people to slaughter the foreigners if the demands are pressed. Protectorate Over Manchuria. LONDON, Nov. 6. Dr. Morrison, wiring to the Times from Pekin yesterday, says: "Vlce-Admlral Alexieff has addressed a communication to LI Hung Chang asking China's Intentions regarding Manchuria and Inviting her to resume the govern ment of that territory under Russian pro. tectlon, which, he says, will be of 'mutual advantage to China and Russia. " Friction Among; the Allies. PEKIN. Sunday, Nov. 4. A commission consisting of the senior staff officers of each power taking part in the Chinese campaign is proceeding to Shan Hal Kwan i (on the Gulf of Liao Tung) In order to smooth the friction bstween the allied commanders regarding the places to be se lected for occupation for the respective forces. TRUSTS IK GERMANY. Thonsh Numerous, They Are Not Feared, as In This Country. European trusts are very much like our own. but are usually on a far smaller scale, writes Cyrus C Adams, In Alnslee's Magazine. Their purposes, as in this country, is to attain business ends for which the resources of individual com panies are Inadequate. This purpose Is often most laudable, and is cal culated to benefit both business in terests and the community at large. Trusts, however, have made most rapid development, and are most success ful In Germany, whose wonderful trans formation from an agricultural to an in dustrial empire, seeking inlets to every foreign market, striving in all ways to make the 'most of her natural resources. tttl6Mt(0 and drawing millions of population from the country to fill the cities, have given her greater resemblance In her present commercial position to the United States than to any other nation. Such striving to enter all Industrial fields, to produce most and sell most, have led, of course, to unhealthful competition, to overpro duction, and to other evils growing out of Intense business rivalry and activity. It is these conditions more than anything else that have called Into existence the trade combinations, 250 or more in number, that now control to a large extent the out put, price and conditions of sale of many manufactured products. The Rhenlah- Wqstphalian coal syndicate has, tor ex-J ompie,- aurmg six years, completely con trolled tho amount of coal to be mined andcoke to be made tn West Germany, and "has dictated the price ai which they shall be sold, much to the displeasure of many steel and Iron manufacturers, who navo been aggrieved by the advance in quotations. Some of the trusts, like those which control the rolling mjlls, chemical and other Industries, sell all their product to a central bureau. Orders tnr tmnfia ire assigned by the bureau to this or that lactory, which can only do the work ap portioned to it without taking a single or der for or fixing the price of its product. Mr. Frank H. Mason, our Consul-General at Berlin, has recently reported that the entire product of potash salts in the Strassfurt district mineral waters, seed oils, earthenware, and scores of special ized chemical products are all syndicated; and even the shoemakers, the sugar growers, and the distillers of alcohol have taken steps to organize so as to gain a better control of output and prices. Prominent as trusts have beoomo In tho business life of Germany, they haye not excited the apprehension nor the denun ciation which they have aroused to some extent in this country. Protests against them are heard, but they come largely from those whose business interests suf fer from their competition, or from the enhanced prices they Impose. It may bo said, on the whole, that the people of Europe accept trusts as a means of avoid ing serious evils, such as excessive com petition, that are dangerqus to business and unfortunate for the public. There is little political opposition to ttrusto. Poli ticians, assuming to act In the Interests of working classes, have not generally at tempted to make party capital br assail ing trade combinations. Neither in Ger many nor in France has there been legis lation against them. Some Bad' Chinese Ways. Emerson BaInbrldo In Contemporary Review. Justice, as obtained In the Chinese courts, is a farce. A case occurred while the writer was in China in which a Chi nese Judge, sitting with an English mag- utiraie, ueciarea mat ne was obliged to give Judgment against the evidence, or he should lose his appointment! The criminal law of China provides that an offender can only be punished if he confesses his guilt, and if he is tardy in conforming with this condition, ho Is com pelled to confession by a series of tortures of the most painful and awful character. Superstition is rife from end fo end of the land and leads to cruelty and brutal ity of tho worst description. The system of "squeeze" and extortion which exists throughout the East is found in so aggravated a form in China that It stifles enterprise and prevents ex pansion of trade, and leaves the masses of the people barely with the necessaries of life, while their superiors in position become wealthy by corrupt accumulation. This system of "squeeze" of course applies to the question of railway con struction. One of tho most intelligent Chinamen the writer met in Shanghai ouerea mm a concession for a railway from Pekin to Chin Klanrr. the foremost condition being that the sum of 120,007 nt vtusu siiuuiu oe paid to a leading Gov ernment official at the cutting of the first sod. As a further illustration, it may be pointed out that out of the 13 railway concessions already supposed to be grant ed (extending about 3600 miles), not one has as yet been commenced. Capital punishment prevails to an ex tent few people have any idea of In this country. An important Russian official the writer met on his way from Pekin stated that one of his countrymen had been murdered in Manchuria by a China man. They wished to punish him In such a way, and at such a place, as would convey the strongest warning to others but they found that it would be useless to execute him in his native town as no less than 2000 people had ended their lives in this way in the previous 12 months! Tho real estate transfers In Union Coun ty since January 1, 1S00, as shown by the records of the County Recorder, amount to nearly $1,000,000. Harmless Except to Headaches.

IN Thorough Investigation of the Force Ordered Emperor William Is Watching- the Proceedings. BERLIN, Nov. 5. The highly unsatis factory condition of the Berlin police force, as laid bare by the sensational evidenoe In the second trill of Sternberg, the rich Berlin banker accused of an of fense against morality, and the peculiar manner In which the case Itself was pre pared and has been handled, aro the talk or tne whole city. In view- of the clear signs of corruption and lack of discipline brought out by the proceedings, it was resolved today at a conference between Count von Bulow, the Imperial Chancellor, and Baron von Rhelnhaben, Prussian Minister of the In terior, to overhaul the Berlin police de partment. Immediately after the confer ence. Baron Rhelnhaben ordered a sharp investigation without fear or favor. It is expected that a large number of the criminal police will be disciplined, and aat about a score will be dismissed, among them the chief of the criminal po lice. Von Merescheidt HuIlessem,who has been strongly compromised by the trial. Altogether, no fewer than 70 members of the criminal police are said to be impli cated in tho Sternberg case. The press, without distinction of party, sternly de mands thorough reforms. In addition to the two commissioners against whom damaging evidence has been offered, it is rumored that a number of others are in volved. Today Emperor William requested that e be furnished with running reports dally of the trial and of tho part played in It by the police. RAILROAD ACROSS ASIA. Russia Has One, and That Is Enonsh. ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 5. Prince Khllkoff, Russian Minister of Railroads, authorizes the Associated Press to deny categorically the assertion of a leading German 'newspaper that Russia Is plan ning to construct a railway from Samar kand to Hankow via the Kashgar Valley, Lake Kukuner and the Wei Ho and Ho ang Ho Valleys, or any other route. He asserts that the intervening mountains are all but impassable, and that such a line would cost billions of dollars, though it possibly may be built 100 years from now. "Russia," said the Prince, "formerly contemplated a line from Samarkand to Tomsk, but she gave up the project when the Chinese troubles began. The direct branch line from St. Petersburg to the Siberian Railway has also been aban doned for the present" Busy Winter In Finances. NEW YORK, Nov. 5. British financiers here are expecting a busy Winter, says the Tribune's London correspondent. The continuance of heavy war expenditures in South Africa will Involve the govern ment borrowing on a large scale. It is also expected that indemnities for the loyalist claims In Cape Colony and Natal will need financing in some way by colo nial loans, with guarantees from the homo government. Tho mining companies will also be forced to borrow many millions before their properties can be put in a proper state of development There Is also the certainty that tho China indemnity can never be paid with out international credit and assistance. China's debt already reaches $300,000,000. and tho Interest and sinking fund now require $18,000,000 annually. It is not be lleved by financiers that the indemnity for the massacres and attacks on lega tions will be less than $200,000,000, so that at least $30,000,000 will be required in the future for Interest and Blnklng fund serv. Ice. International control of the Chlnesa revenues and taxes will be Indispensable If these Indemnities are ever paid. New Canal In Russia. NEW YORK, Nov. 5. A dispatch to tho Herald from Berlin says: It is learned that in a few days there will be published plans of a new canal of the greatest importance, to be built by Russia. It will connect the Baltic and White Seas, running from Bt. Petersburg along the Finnish Gulf to St. Catherine, the new naval harbor on the Murman Coast The Nova River, now seven meters (about 23 feet) deep, wljl be deepened still more, and tho canal will run from It to Lake Ladoga, in Northwestern Russia, The importance of these plans from the military point of view is that they wllj enable the Russian Baltic fleet to escape should a blockade ever be attempted on, that side of tho empire. The distance from St Petersburg to the Important sea port of Hbau, on tho Baltic, will b greatly shortened. This will be part of the new canal's commercial significance. Queen Rescues Her Boatman. NEW YORK, Nov. 5. A dispatch to the Journal and Advertiser from Lisbon says: The Queen of Portugal, at Cascals. a fashionable resort, made a thrilling res cue, fihe has been staying at the Palace Cascals, and was on the beach watching Catalo Croom, her boatman, bringing his boat In to shore. Suddenly a huge wave overturned the boat Croom's arm was broken and he waa overcome by the un dertow, which carried him beneath the waves. The Queen is an expert swimmer. Seeing that her boatman was drowning; she sprang into the sea before any of her attendants could prevent her. With rap id strokes she swam to the boatman's side and held him up until persons put out in boats and rescued both the Queen and her boatman, Croom was taken to the Royal Palace. ICalser Interested In Onr Politics. BETRLIN, Nov. 5. Emperor William en tertained at luncheon yesterday Dr. von, Holleben, the German Ambassador to the United States, Baron von Rlchthofen, tho German Secretary of Foreign Affairs, and Baron Speck von Sternberg, formerly German Charge d' Affaires at Washington, and now Consul-General at Calcutta. The conversation was largely in regard to American politics and the relations be tween Germany and the United States. PTctt German Loan. BERLIN, Nov. 5. It Is ascertained from a source apparently reliable that another and even larger imperial loan is forth- corning. Leading financiers of Berlin and Frankfort coroborate this statement The cost of the China expedition, which is much more considerable than has hith erto been admitted, must be covered by such a loan. Transvnal Exhibit Shut Up. NEW YORK, Nov. 5.

Lord Roberta te'- rrranhs from Johanneshtircr nnAn- rtnt nt November 3, that In operations In the BeJ ORS. CflPELAND & MONTGOMERrSBOOD WORK ONCE DREADED DISEASES WHERE CURES MAY NOW BE ASSURED. Asthma, Bronchitis, Incipient Consumption, Rheumatism, Ca tarrh and Other Maladies, Once Dreaded as Incurable, Now Yielding Readily to the Copeland Treatment. If a man dies he will not live again tin the resurrection. That much is -clear. Medical science has advanced wonderful ly, but it cannot warm a dead man's feet or set in motion & heart that has stopped. Furthermore, there ore living invalids to whom it can no more restore health thai; it can restore life to the dead. It cannot cure fatty degeneration of the heart nor cancer of the stomach, and It cannot re pair a lung that has undergone total de composition or a liver that has undergone a hardening or a malignant ulceration. But, in drawing the line between what Is possible and what is not possible to en lightened medical science, there Is neither sense nor humanity nor professional hon esty In exaggerating the list of incurable maladies. The physician who holds today that common types of chronic lung dis ease, chronic kidney disease, chronic liv er disease, or the severer types of catarrh, asthma, rheumatism, etc., are incurable, because chronic, contradicts a matter of fact attested by 20,000 people who have been cured of those very maladies by the specialists of the Copeland Medical Insti tute. A family doctor who knows little of the nature of chronic diseases, and still less of the secrets and subtleties involved in their mastery, might well abstain from any expression of "views" regarding their curability or their incurability. His opin ion has grown In the shade, like hemlock, and may be Just as poisonous as hemlock Just as depressing and deadly in its ac tionwhen administered to patients. To say that the chronic maladies enu merated above will not yield promptly to correct specialty treatment is either an inexcusable error or an inexcusable false hood. In either Instance it is an Inexcus able impertinence In the face of 20,000 in telligent and reputable people, who testify to their radical and lasting cure of those diseases by the Copeland specialists. And when they say "cured," they mean it They do not mean a moment's balm to pain, a little rest to sleepless agony. They mean the complete elimination of the seed poison and seed principle of chronic dis ease and the permanent return of natural health to the system. But chronic catarrh, being the malady most frequently and most Impertinently described as incurable by those who have no real knowledge concerning It, below Ta presented the symptoms of different forms of the disease, any sufferer from which may be practically assured of a. cure by applying to the Copeland specialists. For convenience, the applicant should cut out the symptoms applying to his case and bring them with him, or send by mall If desiring the mall treatment.

The parties pro jecting the irrigation enterprise did not know of the proposed park segregation, and so the temporary withdrawal was made without knowledge of the fact that it would conflict with one of tho most Important irrigation projects ever launched in the West, The proposed park would take some 60.000 acres right out of the heart at the tract that is to be covered by the irriga tion system, and if the park plan should be carried through It would defeat the Irrigation enterprise. Everybody is agreed that the park should not be established, and the effort now is to lnduco tho Got ernment to abandon the project. Population of Indiana and Florida. WASHINGTON. Nov. B.
