THE INDIAN SCARE
Lieutenant Dixon Says Re
ports Are Exaggerated.
NO VIOLENCE HAS BEEN DONE
More Trouble I Feared From White
Outlaws Than Front Marauding:
Bed Men Small Coat of Suppressing-
the Uprising.
OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 25. General Lee
tonight received a telegraphic report from
Lieutenant Dixon, commanding the troop
of cavalry sent to the scene of the Creek
Indian troubles. He states that he has
not yet made a full investigation, but has
learned enough to warrant his saying
that the reports of an uprising have been
greatly exaggerated. Thus far, he has
encountered no Indians, and from civil
ians he learns that there has been no
-violence on the part of the Indians, and
he anticipates none. The report from
Lieutenant Dixon comes from Henrietta,
which place he reached this forenoon.

More Trouble Feared From Outlaws
Than From Indians. T
GUTHRIE, O. T., Jan. 25. Governor
Barnes today ordered a military com
pany eacn at Chandler and Shawnee.
OiCla., to be In readiness to start at any
moment for the Indian Territory line.
Three thousand rounds of ammunition
were provided for each company. Gov
ernor Barnes received many messages to
day from citizens of Stroud and Chandler,
which are situated near the Creek Na
tion, asking that militia be sent at once
to protect life and property by patrolling
tho line. There Is apparently little fear
of the Indians, but there Is danger that
outlaws who Infect the Creek country
will raid banks and stores In Oklahoma
under the guise of Indians. Governor
Barnes Will not send the troops unless
the situation becomes more threatening
than at present.
At noon the following telegram was re
ceived by the Governor:
Situation along our border serious. I
cannot be responsible for the safety of
our people unless militia is ordered out
at once. ..-.LIAM TILGHMAN.
Sheriff."
At 1 o'clock the Governor held a con
sultation over the telephone with Colonel
Hofman and Sheriff Tilghman at Chandler,
and they stated that many depredations
were being committed over the line in the
Creek reservation, both by Indians and by
outlaws, but that up to that time nobody
had crossed the line and there was no
positive evidence of any intention to cross
or to commit any overt acts on this side
of the line. The Governor advised that
a close watch be kept along the line and
adlces sent him of any overt act against
citizens or property in Oklahoma, but that
until there "was some attempt to cross
the line or commit some such act, he did
rot feci tawt he would be Justified in
ordering the National Guards to the
scene.
At 1:30 Governor Barnes sent for Pres
ident Bellamy, of the Territory Council,
and Speaker Stevens, of the House, and
held a consultation with them on the
matter. Both expressed themselves as
wholly satisfied with the stand he had
taken and assured him of the united sup
port of both branches of the Legislature
In whatever action he should deem best
oY E.ceearyfor the "best Interests of tne
territory or the protection of the people
along the border.

MRS. NATION'S CRUSADE.
Cbw Thrown nt the Saloon Wrecker
in Enterprise.
HOPE. Kan.. Jan. 25. Mrs. Carrie Na
tion arrived here at midnight from En
ttrprlse. determined to attack the two
sJuons In Hope, as she had those
at W Ichlta and Enterprise, but no com
mit;, e of temperance workers met her,
anJ this morning she said she had made
up her mind not to damage the saloons
hvrc because she was alone. She refused
to eat her breakfast because she feared
ebc would be poisoned, and, instead,
talked temperance to a crowd that had
gathered in front of the hotel. At 10
o ock she took a train for Ottawa, say
ing she would visit friends there and rest
a few days. Her last injunction was:
Iont put too much stress on my rest
ing too long."
In the crowd that swarmed about Mrs.
Nation In Hope were the proprietors of
the two saloons here. When she started
for the depot, they escorted her to the
train, one oa each arm. the crowd cheer
ing. When Mrs. Nation left Enterprise last
night a big crowd followed her to the
dpot. hooting and throwintr errs nt hr
On the train en route from Enterprise
to Hope, Mrs. Nation talked enthuslastlo
a.Iy to a reporter. A crowd of W. C. T.
V women, among them Mrs. Hoffman, the
local worker who took part in Wednes
di s raid and yesterday's street fight,
saw her off at the depot.
Good-bye. Mrs. Hoffman," she cried as
the train started. "Keep up the good
work, don't let them open the rum holes
a Tain."
bhc sat down alone in the coach and
b gan examining her dress, smeared with
egcs.
I always thank God for the favors
he does," she said to the reporter, and
when asked what feature of the demon
stration she was thankful for, responded
promptly: "3. hat the eggs were not rot
ten" Mrs. Nation began to talk and laugh
as Rally as If nothing had happened. She
had been cool and collected during all
of her exciting experiences, both at Wich
ita and Enterprise, always meeting the
sallies of the crowd that hooted or pelted
with stones, with prayer or an exhorta
tion on temperance.
"Are you not afraid?" the reporter
asked.
"No, -sir, not a bit," she snapped, defll
antly. "I'm doing God's work."
Her coolness seemed more remarkable
because of the fact that she had been
given warning that a mob awaited her
arrival at Hope.
"You'll surely meet with serious mis
hap, perhaps be killed, if you keep this
up," continued the reporter.
"I know It; I know how It will end, but
when God is ready for me to die I am
ready to go. I do not want to die yet;
there is too much good work for me to
do."
Mrs. Nation went on to talk of her mis
sion. "We've been watching our sons go to
ruin and death through whisky for years.
We've been praying and waiting for the
laws to be enforced and the traffic
stopped. We've decided to wait no longer
for men to act. If the W. C. T. U. had
started out 25 years ago with prayers
and songs and hatchets, there would not
be a saloon In the country today. A
saloon-keeper, to me. Is the same as the
man who cuts another's throat for his
money.
"My object in smashing saloons," con
tinued Mrs. Nation, "Is to stiffen tha
backbone of the women against the rum
traffic and set the men the example of
the only way the traffic can be stopped. I
will organize them Into a society of saloon
wreckers. If a saloon opens in a town,
the women there, If they have not the
backbone essential themselves to wreck
It. will send for me. I will send for my
aides In different towns. They will be
women of bravery, and we will go there
and break up the saloon, and keep It
broken up.
"After we have stamped It out In Kan
sas we will go to Missouri and keep on
going. I have letters from all parts of
the country, asking me to come. I hold
that under the constitution of the United
States a saloon cannot legally exist any
place In this country."
On the Lecture Plntform.
OTTAWA, Kan., Jan. 25. Mrs. Carrie
Nation, the joint-smasher, lectured here
tonight in the First Baptist Church. Mrs.
Nation talked for an hour, reciting the
story of her experiences during the past
few days. She said she will not continue
the business of breaking joints single
handed, but that In the future her ef
forts will be devoted to the organization
of other women for the same kind of
work. Mrs. Nation showed the effects of
her recent rough handling in Enterprise.
Her eye was badly swollen, and her dress
showed the remains ot eggs. She spoke
kindly of Ottawa, and said it was not a
whisky town, Ilka some others she knew.
Mrs. Nation will lecture in Topeka next
Sunday night.
Fined One Dollar Without Costs.
ENTERPRISE, Kan., Jan. 25. After a
long trial this afternoon, the assailants
of Mrs. Nation were each fined $1 with
out costs. The sentiment of the town Is
very bitter against her, and her coming
is thought by some to have done the
temperance cause harm.
SEEING THE BRIGHT SIDE.
Cheerfulness Under Discouraging
Circumstances.
Youth's Companion.
"He declares absolutely that he will
look only on 'the bright side of things,' "
and his mother and sister declare that
they have never seen him low-spirited or
in a bad temper.
There are many people to whom cheer
fulness Is an easy virtue. They are none
too numerous, and they ought to be grate
ful dally that a healthy mind, a light
heart and a vigorous body make it easy
for them to see the bright side of things.
But the young man of whom the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat speaks in our open
ing sentence la a hopeless cripple. To him
cheerfulness Is not the mere effervescence
of high. an.Jjn.al sjlrits nor the overflow of
good health, but the expression of re
ligious peace. It is the attitude of a
spirit that has met pain and disappoint
ment and has conquered them.
When Johnnie Walsh was 4 years old
his trouble began. It was rheumatism,
and for some years he hobbled about on
crutches. But hip disease set In, and the
original trouble grew worse and Johnnie
took to his bed.
For eight years he has lain there, slow
ly and steadily losing the use of arms
and legs and suffering also, in more re
cent yeais. a partial loss of sight, so that
the comfort of reading long at a time Is
denied him. His mother and sister have
little time to read to him, and if he were
IncMned to grow morbid or Impatient he
has abundant opportunity.
"Yet let no one go to Johnnie with
words of pity. He will laugh them away,"
says the reporter. Indeed, his strong will
and gentle spirit bring others to him both
for comfort and for counsel. Children
throng about him to hear Bible stories
and fairy tales: people who read little are
Instructed by his descriptions of new in
ventions and of foreign lands, and all are
cheered and helped by his patient, Chris
tian spirit.
He Is 22 years of age, and was carried
to the polls this Fall to cast his first vote,
for Johnnie has a man's Interest in poli
tics. He Is a member of the church, also,
and when, at long Intervals, he is able to
be carried to church he treasures the ex
perience through succeeding months.
"No one can talk long with Johnnie
without finding out that he Is a very ear
nest Christian." says the reporter, and he
adds: "A visit to Johnnie Is a cure for
the blues. His affliction has been turned
into a blessing, and his presence breathes
sweet peace and comfort."
Cheered bv the hymns which he loves,
the crippled boy has written others of
his own, which his friends delight to
hear from him. It Is not the accuracy of
rhyme or meter that makes these verses
musical to those who know their author,
but the spirit which they breathe of
strength and gentle trust.
"There Is no silver lining to this cloud,"
says many a man whose affliction is lees
than half that of this brave lad's. In se
rene faith and helpful affection Johnnie
Wal6h has found the bright side of a very
dark sorrow, and this has brightened not
only his life, but the lives of many others.

KING TO PARLIAMENT
IDENTICAL MESSAGES SEST TO
BOTH HOUSES.
In Reply They Voted Condolence on
the Death of the Queen and Con
gratulation! on His Accession.
LONDON, Jan. 25. Both Houses this
afternoon received identical messages
from the King, and voted condolence
with His Majesty In his bereavement,
and congratulations on his accession to
the throne. The Lord Chancellor, Lord
Halsbury, and the Speaker, Wlllllam
Court Gully, read the message In the re
spective Houses. It was as follows:
"Edward Rex: The King Is fully as
sured that the House of Commons will
share the deep sorrow which has be
fallen His Majesty and the nation by the
lamentable death of his mother, the late
Queen. Her devotion to the welfare of
her country and her people and her wise
and beneficent rule during the 64 years
of her glorious reign will ever be held in
affectionate memory by her loyal and
devoted subjects throughout the Domin
ions of the British Empire."
In both houses the galleries were filled
with a notable gathering of peeresses and
diplomats. Mr. Choate, United States
Ambassador; Mr. White, Secretary of the
United States Embassy, and Mr. Ches
ter, the second secretary, and their
wives were in the galleries of the House
of Lords. Lord Salisbury moved the
reply to the King's message. In a speech
full of emotion. He said that in perform
ing the saddest duty that had ever fallen
to him, he was only echoing accents of
sorrow, deeper than he had ever known,
of this nation, which had been called
forth by the singular loss which, under
the dispensation of Providence, they had
suffered, and their admiration of the glo
rious reign and splendid character of
the sovereign they had lost. Being a
constitutional monarch, with restricted
powers, she had reigned not by sheer
force of character, but the loveableness
of her disposition and by her hold on the
hearts of her subjects. The example
which she set, of governing by love and
esteem, would never be forgotten, j-ter
wonderful powers of observing with ab
solute strictness the limits of her powers
as a constitutional sovereign, and at the
same time maintaining steady and per
sistent influence oyer the actions of her
Minlsterss, inspired the greatest admira
tion. She always maintained a rigorous
supervision over public affairs, giving
her Ministers the benefit of her advice
and warning them of dangers. No Min
ister could disregard her views or press ,
her to disregard them, without feeling
he had Incurred a great danger. She
brought the country peacefully through
a great change, from old to new Eng
land. She possessed extraordinary knowl
edge of what people think. He had al
ways said that when he knew what the
Queeen tnougtot he knew what the sub
jects would think. The King came to the
throne with the on great advantage of
having before him the greatest example
possible. He had been familiar for a gen
eration with political and social life.
He enjoyed enormous popularity, and
was almost as much beloved In foreign
courts. Congratulations could be ten
dered him with earnest sincerity, and
in the belief that he will adorn the throne
and be a worthy successor of the Queen.
Lord KImberley, the Liberal leader In
the House of Lords, and the Archbishop
of Canterbury seconded the address.
Lord KImberley said he desired to echo
every word of the noble Marquis. His
access to the sovereign dated back to an
even earlier period than that of the Mar
quis. He had always been struck .with
the extraordinary consideration and kind
ness which marked Her Majesty's con
duct towards all who came In contact
with bar. He was simply amazed at the
sound, real knowledge she possessed on
all Important affairs. Tho Archbishop of
Canterbury said the Queen's Influence
as a truly religious woman was far
greater than anything exercised by the
wisest statesman or cleverest adminis
trator. In tho House of Commons, A. J. Balfour,
First Lord of the Treasury and govern
ment leader. In moving the address In re
ply to the message, said the House, In nil
Its history, had never met under sadder
circumstances or with a clearer duty to
express the universal sorrow extending
from end to end of the empire. The sor
row was felt not only as a national, but
an Irreparable personal loss. It was hard
yet to realize the magnitude of the blow
which had fallen on the country. In the
whole history of the British monarchy
there never has been a case In which the
national grief had been so deeply seated.
The end of a great epoch has come, an
epoch more crowded with important
changes and great developments than any
period of like length In the history of the
world. The Influence of the crown on tho
British Constitution was not a diminish
Ing, but an Increasing factor, and must
continue to Increase with the growth and
development of the self-government com
munities over the sea which were founded
by Great Britain through the person of
the sovereign who was a living symbol of
the unity of the empire. This cumula
tive result of the great example of Queen
Victoria was the greatest the world has
ever seen. Her position threw upon the
Queen a life of continuous labor. Short
as was the Interval between her flnal sig
nature of a public document and her final
rest, it was yet long enough to clog the
wheels of the administration, as was wit
nessed by the vast mass of untouched
documents awaiting the hand of the sov
ereign. In moving a double response of
condolence and congratulation, Mr. Bal
four said they had unfailing confidence
that the great Interests committed to the
new sovereign were safe in his keeping.
They assured him of the ungrudging sup
port of his loyal subjects, and wished him
the honor of a long life, and the greatest
of all blessings to reign over a happy,
contented people, and that in the eyes of
posterity Ms reign might fitly compare
with and form an appropriate sequel to
the great epoch which had Just drawn to
a close.
Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman, the,
Liberal leader, seconded the motion, which
was adopted, the members standing. The
House then adjourned until February 4.
Cardinal Vaughan, in the course of a
very sympathetic letter to be read in the
Catholic Churches In London, pays an
eloquent tribute to Queen n Victoria, who,
he says, was "an object of the greatest
reverence on the part of all Catholics,
from the Pope downward."
"We fully and acutely concur in the
national sorrow," continues the cardinal,
"and trust and pray that the noble tra
dition established by her may be car
ried on and perfected by the son. The
attachment of Catholics to the throne
and the dynasty are beyond suspicion."
The Morning Leader says that the ex
ecutors of Queen Victoria's will are
Princess Beatrice, the Duke of Con
naught and Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Fleet
wood Isham Edwards, who was keeper
of Her Majesty's privy purse from 1S95,
and extra equerry to the Queen from
1SSS.
It is believed that one of the last acts
of Queen Victoria was to signify a wish
that the testimonial sent by the children
of Canada shouldl be handed over to the
Royal Patriotic Commissioners for the
benefit of the widows and orphans of sol
dldcrs killed in South Africa. This de
sire was communicated to the comlms
sloners in a letter from the Colonial of
fice dated the day of her death. The
testimonial consisted of 3,399, which Mr.
Chamberlain forwarded to the Royal
Patriotic Commissioners the day Queen
Victoria died.
At the request of a representative of
the Aesoclted Press, Mrs. George Corn
wallls West has written the following:
"When Colonel Towne recently went
to Windsor to receive the Victorian cros3
for a valorous act by which he lost his
eyesight, those present have since told
me that as he advanced, led by his wife,
toward the Queen, tears poured down
her aged cheeks, and It was In a broken
voice that she spoke to him. Few at SI
coulld forget the dim and failing eye for
the blind ones of others.
"The Queen may be counted on as one
of the victims of the war. Every defeat,
every unsuccessful skirmish, the loss or
wounding of a brave soldier, was per
sonal to her. When I had the honor of
seeing Her Majesty at Windsor, in De
cember, 1899, before leaving for South
Africa in the hospital-ship Maine, she
evinced the greatest Interest In all the
details and make-up of the ship, espe
cially of the history of the hospital staff,
whom she had received a few days pre
viously. Several times she repeated to
me: " 'It Is very good of the American
people to subscribe for this provision,
and I am most grateful to them for
coming over to help take care of my
sick and Injured.' "
TO AVOID DISFIGUREMENT.
Modern Treatment Does Away With
the Terrors of Smallpox.
New York Tribune.
The reported cases of smallpox cause ail
prudent people living In or visiting New
York to resort to vaccination as a pre
cautionary measure. The physicians and
public authorities take all necessary pre
cautions for the seclusion of the cases,
but suggest on the part of the public
the exercise of all other known preven.
tlvea.
The disease Itself has a long, bad his
tory. It was known In India and China
some centuries before the Christian era.
and, during the Middle Ages, its appear
ance In Europe resulted In frightful mpr.
tality. sometimes carrying off one In
every four of an Infected district
The name smallpox Is simply a corrup
tion of two words, "email" "pocks," and
in the early stages of the disease these
pocks may bo distinctly felt underneath
the skin, like fine shot. Later they ap
pear on the surface as vesicles (or pim
ples) and finally become the character
istic pustules. Within, each of these
pustules Is set up an active process ot
ulceration, which, If not checked, de
stroys that portion of the true skin In
volved, and results In the permanent and
unsightly system of scars known as
"pock-marks."
Dr. Elmer Lee, of New York, a noted
specialist, had this to say on the sub
ject of preventing these pock-marks or
pits:
"Smallpox pitting can be prevented by
applying to the face antiseptic remedies,
and I think the most suitable Is one that
Is made of ozone and glycerine. The
glycerine has the body to hold the ozone
and also being such a very heavy liquid
enables It to be worked Into the pores
of the skin, and to check fermentative
processes that make up a large part of the
ulceration. If this fermentation, which is
a part of the ulcerative process, can be
stopped, then pitting can be prevented.
The less the ulceration, the less the pit
ting. If the ulceration can be entirely
prevented there will be only an exterior
scab, which leaves no pit.
"The trouble with grease or ointments,
which are sometimes applied to the face,
Is that they are not true antiseptics, and
have no chemical Influence to stop the
ulceration. While they lessen the fric
tion and. therefore, are soothing, they do
not check the fermentation process of the
ulcer. What Is wanted Is a true antisep
tic that will control and stop the chem
ical ferment. We have such prepared un.
der the trade names of Glycozone and
Hydrozone. There Is also another prep
aration that Is useful In combination with
the two preceding ones. It is a liquid
soap made of vegetable oils, combined
with glycerine, and Is known as Ellxo.
Wherever these agents have been proper
ly and faithfully used, pitting has been
prevented.
''The skin should' be first cleansed with
the Ellxo and water, then treated with di
luted Hydrozone. and this followed by
the heavy liquid Glycozone. Hydrozone
Is a very powerful destroyer of ferments.
Glycozone Is milder, but more lasting; The
Hydozone acts upon dead matter, or mat
ter In process of putrefaction. Applied to
healthy skin it would have no more ef
fect than water, but applied to a sore,
It produces profuse bubbling.
"The treatment I have Indicated should
be repeated dally. If that is done there
will be no pitting. This pitting is the
worst feature of smallpox. The deaths
from the disease have never been so
numerous as Is popularly supposed, but
the evil of pitting can hardly be overesti
mated. It is not only an embarrassment
It Is a great Injury."
Hydrozone is double strength peroxide
of hydrogen, and is now generally used
by the medical profession Instead of the
latter. Dr. L. C. Schutt, of Toledo, O.,
speaking of Its use in smallpox, eays:
"The topical application of peroxide of
hydrogen or glycozone is very beneficial."

Russia's Plans.
NEW YORK, Jan. 25. A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Reliable Information has been received
in Washington relative to Russia's policy
In Idanchurla, particularly in regard to
the agreement between Russia and China,
which It Is alleged assured Russia a prac
tical protectorate. The correspondent
of the London Times In giving the text
of the agreement relating to the Province
of Fen Ting, predicts that it would be
extended to the other two provinces of
Manchuria, when that province would be
"de facto a Russian protectorate,"
There Is authority for the statement
that Russia has not entered into any ar
rangement with China regarding Man
churia, and it can be further stated that
the St, Petersburg Government does not
contemplate departing from the position
assumed in its circular note of August 25
last. It Is believed here that the exag
gerated dispatches sent by Dr. Morrison
were based upon an understanding reach
ed by the Russian military and the Chi
nese authorities in Manchuria, the sole
idea of which is the restoration as prompt
ly as possible of peace and order within
the province.

THE QUEEN'S FORTUNE.
Estate Valued at Between Fifty and
Sixty Millions.
NEW YORK, Jan. 25. A dispatch to
the World from Cowes says:
Queen Victoria's will was opened and
examined yesterday by the duly appointed
authorities. None of its contents -were
made public or the amount of her pri
vate fortune. It is generally supposed
that this preliminary Inspection was made
in order to follow exactly Her Majesty's
directions in regard to her funeral. It
Is known that the Queen made a will
early In her reign, which was repeatedly
altered and added to as children and
grandchildren were born and as estates
rapidly advanced In value. This will was
made In 1896, when Her Majesty decided
to have an entirely new document drawn,
and with great personal care this was
accomplished.
Those In a position to make any sort
of a guess as to the provisions of the
Queen's will declare that the Princess
Beatrice, widow of Prince Henry of Bat
tenburg, will be the principal beneficiary.
She Is the Governor of the Isle of Wight,
and will probably Inherit Osborne House
and the whole estate surrounding It.
Then the Duke of Connaught and his
sons, who have been great favorites with
Victoria, will receive a large portion of
the fortune. The Duke will probably
become the owner of Balmoral and the
Scottish property. The grandchildren
who are expected to receive the largest
bequests are the two children of Vic
toria's youngest son. the lato Duke of
Albany. The Queen's second daughter.
Princess Christian of Holsteln, Is not
rich, and It Is probable that she and her
four children will be regally provided for.
Edward VII., who will be amply pro
vided for by the country, and the Duke
of York, who comes Into the Duchy of
Cornwall, and may be the Prince of
Wales, will probably not be sharers in
the late Queen's private fortune.
Estimates made by the best-Informed
persons In the financial field fix the value
of Queen Victoria's private estate at
something between $50,000,000 and $60,000,000.
Parliament upon her accession granted
her, $1,925,000 -a year. This sum, It was
estimated, would maintain the royal es
tablishment and leave the Sovereign
$400,000 for private money, or personal
expenses. Since the death of Albert, the
Prince Consort, it Is asserted Her
Majesty has saved $250,000 a year of that
sum. This money, together with Its In
crement, has been invested under the
best advice that London, the financial
center of the world, could supply. Added
to It, and accumulating each year. Is the
sum of $2,300,000 the private fortune of
the. Prince Consort, which was bequeathed
to the Queen. She was also the legatee
of many admiring subjects, one of them
deeding $2,500,000.

Louise, and a flotilla of torpedo-boats,

of Prussia.
BERLIN, Jan. 25. The Navy Gazette
publishes a general order In which Em
peror William expresses his sympauy for
the Queen's sister Navy of Great Brit
ain, to which the German Navy Is bound
by oft-tried comradeship. His Majesty

ine's Celery Cora
xgaa
When, several years ago. New York's
great Presbyterian minister made the pub
lic statement that it was due to the use
of Palne's celery compound that, after a
Winter of exhausting work, he was able
to carry on his duties through the ener
vating Spring time with unusual ease and
comfort
And when, a little later, the learned
Bishop of Burlington, Bishop Mlchaud,
published an indorsement of this great
remedy, saying: "Hoping that my words
may inspire those readers who need health
and strength with faith to try Palne's
celery compound and prove to themselves
its worth"
When, about the same time, the public
statement was made by the superintendent
of the largest Woman's Christian Associa
tion In the country that "those who have
been taking Palne's celery compound are
greatly benefited and desire to continue
Its use"
When the Rev. J. G. Laird, of London,
Ont., who wrote to the proprietors that If
he had only known Palne's celery com
pound when he was first afflicted with
nervousness, he would never have been
placed on the list of retired ministers
When these-and hundreds of other unso
licited testimonials have come from min
isters of every denomination, there is no
shadow of a question of the sincere re
gard in which this greatest of all reme
dies' for blood and nerves Is held by those
who have used It.
Zealous work, with no thought of their
health or nerves, causes the retirement of
a large number of clergymen every year.
It Is possible, however, to work hard
and yet keep well, If one will but pay tho
proper attention to the benefits to be de
rived from Palne's celery compound.
The Rev. Thomas A.' Uzzell, pastor of
the People's Tabernacle Congregational
the text of the reply which the President
received from King Edward In answer to
his message of condolence on the death of
the Queen:
"Osborne. Jan. 24, 1901. The President,
White House, Washington: Am grateful
for your kind sympathy in the irreparable
loss the nation and I have sustained. I
have felt convinced that It would be
shared by you and the American people."

Two cases of highway robbery on the
'East Side took place within a half hour
of each other, early this morning, and
a faithful dog, trying to defend his mas

ELEVATOR RAN WILD.
State Capitol Mahclne Stopped Only
When It Could Go No Farther.
SALEM, Or., Jan 25. The fact that
the elevator in the State House was not
crowded with people prevented an acci
dent today. The key to the base pulley
fell out, and caused the elevator to be
come unmanageable, and go to the top
of the shaft, where It was held by cogs.
The elevator man was the only one In
It at the time. When he started the ele
vator It seemed to go all right, but his
suspicions were aroused when he found
he could not stop it at the second floor.
The machine continued on Its upward
course until the fourth floor was reached,
where It struck the block next to the roof
and came to a stop. The key was soon
replaced, and tho elevator running as
usual.
