nothing aecmcd to reach ray trouble until I
got hold of u bottle of Acker's English

and my prayers were answered as soon
as I began taking this celebrated Eng

covery I have told hundreds of sufferers
from coughs, colds and Weak lungs that
Acker's English Remedy would cure them.
Borne of them won't try It, and it does
seem to me terrible when anyone deliber
ately refuse to bo cured. There ought to
be a law compelling consumptives to take
it. Even if they don't cure for their own
lives, the public's welfare should be consid

such a law will soon be enforced."

FENIANS ARE PRE
PARING FOR WAR
They Arc Said to Have Stored Large
Quantities of Ammunition and
Pood Near Canadian Hordcr in
Northeast.
New Youk, Jan. 1. A special to tho
Times from Bur.lington, Vt., says: It
is reported that the Feu inns are engnsed
iu storing large quantities of dynamite,
lyddite ammunition and supplies in a
few selected repositories in remote d's
tricts of Vermont and Mnlne, near t' e
Canadian boundary line. The iuforma
tion comes from persons who claim to
have knowledge of the purchase of some
of the supplies, otid others ho learned
of their transportation by railroad dis
guised as groceries. Dynamite and other
explosives have been secured in surpris
ingly large quantities, and stored under
ground on the Vermont border, while
largo quantities of canned meats have
been h'.dden in some large baruB of sym
pathizing farmers on the main line near
New Hampshire.
It is said that an efficient ambulance
corps is being organized under ttie
supervision of u few loyal Irish women
and surueons who wore in the Red Croes
work in Cuba. They aro also prepar
ing a large number ol "first aid" pack
ages for tiio invading farces. The now
movement is the work of tho Irish
element of tho larger cl'.ies, but it is a
fact that a larger and impoituut work is
being done among tiie farmers of tho
border states. A schedule is being ar
ranted of farmer who can furnish
wagons, horses and oxen for transports
tion purposos.
Cutarrli Cannot ho Cured
with local applications, as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh
is a blood or constitutional disease, und
iu order to care it you must take inter
nal remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure ih
taken internally, and acts directly on
the blood and mucous eurfaceB. Hull's
Catarrh Cure is not a quock medicine.
It was was prescribed by one of the best
physicians iu this country for years, and
is a regular prescription. It is composed
of the host tonics known, combined w ith
the best blood purificie, acting directly
on the mucous surfaces. Tho perfect
combination of the two ingredients is
what produces such wonderful results in
curing Catarrh, b'end for testimonials,

New Yohk, Jan. 1. A special to the
Tribuno from London Bays : Indications
still point to a battle on Tugela river at
the end of this week, although there
may be delays through a mule transport
service, which General Roller Is evi
dently organizing on a large eenle.
Tjgela is reported in flood from
heavy rains, and tho passage of
river will be most difficult.
Itritieh accounts of linden-Powell's
sortie at Mateking cannot be expected
for several days. The Boer official dis
patches, stating that two well-known
British officers, one of them a eon of the
prime minister, Mere wounded, have
caused much anxiety in tho world of
wealth and fashion.' '
New Youk, Jan. 1, A dispatch lo the
Tribune from London says : The new
year opened gloomily for England, with
a record of miscalculation and disaster
in South Africa to be retrieved at great
loss of life and treasure, and with the
reputation of generals in the field and
ministers ut home hanging upon the
issue o battle during tho next few weeks.
Theto is no luck of criticism aud fault-
fludlng in the press, and tliero are signs
of anxiety in ministerial circles over the
political effects of additional reverses to
liritieh arm-, but theie is also a hopeful
feeling induced by fresh proof J of tho in
capacity of tho Dutcli allies to make tno
of their opportunities. The Boer vic
tories of Stormberg, Magersfontein and
Colenso have not been followed up in
any iii9tar.ee. They have been no suc
cessful raids on the lines cf communica
tion, and Ladysuiith, kiuiberley und
Makeking have not been overwhelmed
by superior numbers and guns. There
is u record of Boer failures as well a
British defeats.
Tho budget of news received at mid
night whs a light one. The arrival of a
Citpe steamer brought a largo mail, aud
all the morning journals print letters
from their special correspondents. The
moBt interesting letters are those pub
lished in tho Standard and Times and
other journals from Ladyemith, iu which
incidents of tho elege and garrieon life
aro deccribod. Tlie writers are wisely
reticent on important points, and deal
lightly with the dangers of the situation,
but there is little doubt that the garrison
lias been short of ammunition and the
knowledge of this tact lias influenced
General Bullerin sacrificing ills original
plan of campaign and massing his forces
for the relief of Ladyemith. Ho is still
calling in reinforcements, for the
Majestic has gone to Durban with
another battalion and numerous drafts.
