Ni:w Yokk, Sept. 7. The World to
day publishes tlio following dispatch
from I'aul Kruger, president of tho
South Africun republic, in response to a
message sent by Unit pupur :
"1 gladly nccudo to your request to
put tliu Boer Bide before tho American
public. The present agitation against
tlits republic emanates partly from a
certain section of British residents to
whom the existence of the republic,
which cmbraceB the most flourishing
parte of South Africa, is a standing eye
sure and who suffer from n prevailing
jiiiKo mania, purtly also from mining
capitalists, who, not content with having
the beat tinning laws in the world, wish
also to havo completo control of all
legislation and administration,
"The franchise voting quostion wob
takuu up by England because it was
the republic would not yield on that
point. Now that the altered franchise
does not materially differ from the
American it is in many respects easier
the agitation lius become worse. Tho
object clearly is tho destruction of our
republic and the complete control of the
richest mines in the world. The press,
entirely controlled by capitalists, spreads
unprecedented misrepresentation and
prejudice throughout tho world against
the itoer republic.
"We are determined to defend to the
utmost that freedom and self-government
for which our people have shed
blood in every part of South Africa.
Tliougb wo have no such powerful friend
as you proved to Venezuela and to other
republics, we have strong faith that the
cause of freedom und republicanism will
triumph in the end."

Sevoral groat cloudbursts occurred on

Ulnrloiig News.
Comes from Dr. D. B. Oargile, of
Wnshitn, I. T. Flo writes:
"Four bottles of Electric Bitters has
cured Mrs. Brewer of Ecrofula, which had
caused her great Buffering for years.
Terrible soreB would break out on her
bend and face, and the best doctors
could give uo help; but her cure iB com
plete and her health is excellent." This
shows what thousands have proved,
that Electric Bitters is the beBt blood
purifier known. It's the supreme
remedy for eczema, tetter, salt rheum,
ulcers, boils and running eores. It
stimulates liver, kidneys and bowels,
exnels poisons, helps digestion and
builds up the strength. Only GO cents

London, Sept. 7. If tho Tranevaal
situation is changed at all since yeetor
dy it is for the worse. The Boar re
quests for explanation as to tho mass
ing of British troops on tho frontier was
an ominous note of irritation and Im
patience which nt such a critical stage
can scarcely be interpreted us anything
but defiance. Both here and in Cape
Colony tho tension and arming continue.
Whether tomorrow's cabinet council will
afford iinuiedlato relief is still a question
of great doubt.

From the Times, UIlUMle, Va.
I sull'ered with diarrhoea for a long
time aud thought I was past being cured.
I had spent much time aud money and
sufTered so much misery that I had al
most decided to give up all hopes of re
covery and await the result, but notic
ing the advertisement of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
and also some testimonials stating bow
some wonderful cures had been wrought
by this remedy, I decided to try it.
After taking a few doses I was entirely
well of that trouble, and I wish to say
further to my readers and fellow-sufferers
that I am a hale and hearty man to
day and feel as well as I ever did in my
life.-O. K. Moore. Sold by Blakeley &
