and tliero is ut least a d'uect railway
service between Durban and Eland's
Laagto. The first train to cross the
bridge was the Princess Christian's
hospital train. This magnificent train
baa been badly wanted ill Natal since
the beginning of tho wai.
Major Creagh's improved hospital
train line removed about 4000 wounded,
but though every caro was taken the
narrow doora of tho c.trriuges and the
humping and shunting of the carriugos
has caused much pain which, with ap
pliances now at liund, may bo avoided.
There nre still over 2000 patients in the
Ludyemlth hospital, so the train is not
too late.
Cuturrh Uuiinot lie Cured

reach tho seal of tho disease. Catarrh
is a blood or constitutional disease, and
in order to cure it you must lake inter
nal remedies. Hall's Catarrli Cure is
taken internally, and acts directly on
tho blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's
Catarrh Cure la not a quack medicine.
It was was prescribed by ono of the best
phyfiicinns in this country for years, nnd

of tho boat tonics known, combined with
the best blood purifiers, acting directly

combination of tho two ingredients is
what produces such wonderful results in

deliverance from a frightful death. In

Typhoid fever, that ran into pneumonia.
My lungs became hardened, I was so
weak I con lu 'nt even sit up in bed.
Nothing helped me. I expected to eoon
die of consumption, when I heard of
Dr. King's Now Discovery. One bottle
gave great relief. I continued to use it,
and now am well and strong. 1 can't
say too much in its praise." This
marvelous medicine is the surest and
quickest cure in the world for all throat
and lung trouble. Regular sizes 50 cente

FINDING FAULT
Don. M. Dickinson Will Be Much Dis
appointed if the Liucolu Platform
is Offered to the National Convention.
Washington, March 21. Ex Postmaster-General
Don M. Dickinson said
last night of the Nebraska Democratic
platform :
"I had hoped that the Democratic
purty would be allowed to write its plat
form this year. When tho Lincoln party
begins by re adopting the Chic.igo plat
form entire and then proceeds to reas
sert it In particulars and we are given to
understand that this plat'orm is to be
citl'eied to the Democrats later on, per
haps we are to be dh appointed."
Senator Jones, of Aikunsap, chairman
of the national committee, said.
"I don't know wliy tho i.ewepapers
should eay that this la Mr. Bryan's plat
form, for 1 thiuk It a very admirable ex
pression of what Democrats all over the
country are saying and thinking just
now. The plank about the initiative
and referendum is perhaps an exception.
Within certain limits the leferendum is
a good thing. I don't believe, however,
in submitting all kinds of legislation,
and all public questions to the ropular
vote,
"As to the plank about imperialism I
agree heartily with the first two propo
sitions. I believe In giving the Filipinos
independence, but when it comes to pro
tecting them from outside intr rfererce,
at we have protected the republic 'of
Central and South America, that is a
ubject which requires consideration. I
dou't think it practicable to extend the
Monroe doctrine to the Philippines.
Otherwise, I regard the platform a very
happy expression of Democratic senti
ment, end strongly approved it."
Sbaretll Must Leave Cuba.
Havana, March 21. General Maximo
Gomez has addressed to the committee
which recently waited upon the Bishop
of Havana. Mgr. Sbaretti, a protest
against his continuance in the Bishopric.
In the course of tho letter, he says the
committee ought not to have called upon
the Bishop, bnt should have summoned
him beforo them to hear the result of
"him own obstinacy and that of the
people." General Gomez goes on to eay :
"Mgr. Sbaretti is not the just man I
had previously believed him to be, for
if he were, he would not disturb a
country so deeolated by war troubles by
insisting upon remaining as tho head of
the diocese of Havana. Cubans must
not forget that the Popo blessed the
armies of Weyler. The Popo and Mgr.
Sbaretti will be responsible for the
schism which will ba produced in Cuba.
If I were alone in the protest, I would
climb to tho highest peak in Cuba and
cry, 'Begone, foreign usurpation.' "
On the other hand, n couimitteo is
being formed to protest agaiiiBt tho ac
tion of the so-called Popular Committee,
which waited upon Mgr. Sbaretti. Tho
organizers of tho new committee have
obtained a large number of signatures
to an address that will bo presented to
the Bishop assuring him that the Popu
lar Committee does not represent the
Cuban pnople or the Cuban army.
