LETTER PRODUCES
GREAT FEELING
Dreyfus Health Ik Breaking Nerved
Himself During Rennes Trial, but
the Reaction Is Such That the
Physicians Consider His Case
Hopeless, and Say That a Fatal
Col lapse May Ensue Any Day.
New Youk, Sept. 13. A dispatch to
the Tribune from Paris says: Emile
Zola's impassioned protest against tbe
Rennes verdict, which appears in Aurore,
causes nu impression Becond only to that
ol his memorable letter. "J'AccUBe."
The following passages of Zola's remark
able document appeals with bucIi irre-
liitiblo force to honest-minded French
men, iiiul indicate bo clearly the new
pbrasu upon which tbe tragedy seems
about to enter, that they are singled out
as of tmnuiiount importance.
Zola, after stating that the moral Se
dan of September, 1899, is a hundred,
lolcl more disastrous than tbe Sedan of
Bspteniher, 1870, when blood only was
lost, points out the national peril caused
by the president of the Rennes court
martial, when he refused M. Labori's
application to take tbe testimony of the'
former German and Italian military at
taches and thereby prevented tbe pro
(luctiou of tbe documents enumerated
in the bordereau.
Z)la lUIirniB his absolute certainty
that a number of documents in EBter
huzy't) handwriting which Esterhazy
furnished to Scbwarzkoppen are in tbe
archives of tbe ministry of war at Berlin,
lie declares that "Germany, whicli to
morrow may be an enemy of France,
holds in her hands these irrefutable
proofs of the triple judicial error com
mitted by the court-martial of 1804, and
by the court-martial of 1898, when Eater
hazy waB acquitted, and by the Rennet"
court-martial. In case of war, Germany
could thus at the very outset dishonor
the French army in the eyes of Europe
by simply publishing these documents
and revealing the abominable iniquity of
its chiefs.

Mme. Dreyfus fears that her husband '
health may soon break down completely.
Dreyfus nerved himself up during the
Rennes trial, but the reaction is such
that the physicians consider bis case
hopeless and say that any day a fatal
collapse may ensue.
Meanwhile the intervention of Presi
dent Loubet by according Dreyfus a full
pardon, is regarded by those nearest the
president as almost certain, and this
would le followed by executing the pol
icy of the sponge and wiping out all old
scored and reducing tbe pending trials
which originated in tbe Dreyfus affair
to mere empty formalities, releasing
De Reroulede and his companion;, and
liquidating the whole situation by a gen
eral amnesty preparatory to the world's
fair of 1900.

derstanding of orders.
There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all otbe diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven catarrh
tobe a constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrah Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
It is taken internally in doses from ten
drops to a teaspoon fa I. It acta directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for

HOBOS SOWING
SMALLPOX
Scattering Germs Broadcast in Inland
Empire.
Pullman, Wash., Sept. 12. The first
death from smallpox to occur in Eastern
Washington since the recent epidemic
began in Spokane last spring occurred
two miles southeast of Johnson last
night, when Wilbur Haines, died, after
an illness of but five days. Thedeceased
bad confluent smallpox, tbe most ma
lignant phase of the disease. He took
the disease from association with his
brother-in-law, Chris Hagey, who came
to this county from Oregon two weeks
ago. Hagey had the disease on the road,
but in in a mild form.
When Hagey and Croissant, who also
had tbe smallpox, came to this country
they beat their way riding in on and
under boxcars. One night they were on
a freight train on the O. R. & N., when
Hagey and another man, whose name is
not known, sat together on top of a box
car. The night was cold, and they threw
one of Hagey 's blankets over their heads
and huddled together to keep warm. 1 his
was at tbe time Hagey's "blood was bad
and he was broken out with sores all
over his body," as described by Croissant.
That man is at large somewhere.
Tbe blanketB in which Hagey and his
friend slept while camped near tbe de
pot here were stolen, and thus has the
disease been given another excellent op
portunity to spread among the hobos,
who are no doubt now scattering tbe
germs in every direction. Tbe disease
germs have been sown broadcast over
tbe Inland Empire.

I suffered with diarrhoea for a long
time and thought I was past being cured.
I had spent much time nd money and
suffered so much misery that I bad al

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 bad 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. R. Moore. Sold by Blakeley &
