ARE STARVING
TO DEATH
Stewart River Indians Perishing in
Great Mutes.
HUMAN SACRIFICE
WAS OFFERED
Medicine Men Torture a Young Girl to
Propitiate the Spirit That is Ruin
ing the Tribe.
Victohia, C. C, Jane 11. The In
dians living in the neighborhood of the
upper waters of the Stewart river are in
a most deplorable condition. A terrible
famine prevails in that district, and toe
unfortunate natives have already been
decimated for lack of food. Conditions
have been growing rapidly worse in this
respect, and three miners who have just
reached here from that country say that
the pitiful scenes enacted among the
starving Indian beggars description.
They are now almost entirely without
food of any kind, and are now literally
perishing in great numbers. So hopeless
is the situation, that in a Bingle small
Indian village no less than thirty persons
died from hunger just previous to the
departure of the prospectors for this
port. The miners who are authority for
these statements declare that unless
abundant supplies are immediately dis
patched to the relief of these famishing
and despondent people, their practical
extermination is inevitable.
The same trio of returned miners also
tell a shocking story of the killing of an
Indian girl by a medicine man at the
instance of the chief of the tribe to which
the girl belonged. According to the
story, the girl was made the victim of a
savage ceremony directed by the medi
cine man, under the oiders of the chief.
Her barbarous death as for the purpose
of propitiating the great spirit which
had sent the famine, by the offering up
of a living human sacrifice.
Troops will be sent to the scene of the
outrage to arrest the murderers, and
bring those guiity of the crime to justice,
if they have not already paid the penalty
by the slower process of starvation.

platform in the state convention here.
Deafness Cannot re Cured,
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafnesp
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed. Deafness is the result, and
unleea the inflammation' can betaken
out and this tube restored' to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars ; free.

Terrible Ending of a Bridal Serenade.
Wichita, Kan., June 12. While a
party of young men were serenading Mr.
and Mrs. Bay Higgins, near Watonga,
Oklahoma, the bride and groom of two
hours appeared on the front porch and
ordered the serenaders to leave. The
party, composed of about twenty friends
of the young married couple, refused to
go. . Instead they continued to make
deafening noises by beating on pans and
firing Eliot guns.
One of the party, Harry Randally, de
liberately pointed his gun at the young
people and fired. The bride's face and
breast was filled with buckshot. She
fell fatally injured, shot through the
lungs, and died an hour later. The
groom was also shot in the face, but not
fatally. After the accident the charivari
party fled. No arrests have been made
yet. A small brother of the bride was
aleo wounded, but not seriously.

months, was about to be realized, name
ly the capture of Paranque and its oc
cupation by the American forces. The
Monadnock bad been lying off Paranque

Last fall I sprained my left hip while
handling some heavy boxes. The doctor
I called on said at first it was a slight
strain and would soon be well, but it
grew worse and the doctor then said I
had rheumatism. It continued to grow
worse and I could hardly get around to
work. I went to a drug Etore and the
druggist recommended me to try Cham
berlain's Pain Balm. ' I tried it and one
half of a 50 cent bottle cured me entire

America a Light Purchaser.
New York, June 12. The Times' Lon
don financial correspondent cables: This
has been an untoward week, and busi
ness all around has been unsatisfactory.
The only thing that has cheered us is
our foreign trade returns for May, which
shows a satisfactory increase in exports;
yet the figures of the leading branches
are rareiy up to those' of 1897. Your re
duced purchases of texilea are the prin
cipal cause of this. Two years ago you
brought in the first five months 6,137,000
yards of woolen and 28,567,000 yards of
worsted tissues, whereas this year the
respective totals have been 856,000 and
5,111,000. In dyes and bleached cottons,
however, you are now doing much more
with us than a year ago.
Coming to finance, the week has been
worrying. The Japanese loan has been
a failure because it is too big and has
been badly managed. Not one-eight of
it sold to investors. The first install
ment of the Russian loan is also looked
askance at, but it is said it will all be
sold. Yet the market is nnhappy, and
when the newB of Kruger's obstinacy
came Thursday we were in a mood to
sell everything.
To add to the uncomfortableness, the
banks are beginning to discuss the inad
equacy of cur gold reserves.
The proposal, briefly, is for each bank
to set aside a fixed proportion of its de
posits in gold to be kept by the Bank ot
England in trnst for use in emergencies.
A committee of bankers would have
charge of the fund thus created, with
power among other attributes, to prevent
inroads upon it. - The gold exports from
New York have revived reports that
enough may come to fill us up before
autumn, but I am anxious to believe you
must send us $100,000.
Would Not Suffer So Again for Fifty
Times Its Pi ice.
I awoke last night with severe pains
in my stomach. I never felt so badiy in
all my life. When I came down to work
this morning I felt so weak I could hardly
work. I went to Miller & McCurdy's
drug "store and they recommended
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy. It worked like magic
and one dose fixed me all right. It
certainly is the finest thing I ever used
for stomach trouble. I shall not be
without it in my home hereafter, for
I should not care to endure the sufferings
of last night again for fifty times its
price. G. H. Wilson, Liveryman, Bur
