But it does cure any disssM for which i. reputable physician would prescribe I EOS Physicians recognize lion ss the best restorative afcnt known to the profession, and inquiry of any leading chemical firm will substantiate the assertion that there are more preparations of iron than of any other substance used in medicine This shows con elusirely that iron is acknowledged to be the most' important factor in successful medical practice, It is, howorer, aremarkable fact, that pnor to the discor eryof nkoWN'SIUON HITTERS no perfect ly satisfactory iron combination had erer been found.

New York, May G.A special to the Times from London says: "Lon don is simply speechless with rage this afternoon at last night's disclos ures. Gladstone had few cheers, save from tho radical benches below . the gangway. Lord Churchill's long, speech was really a masterly indict ment, and it is in every mouth to-day. . Its indignant words are quoted on all sides, as they were cheered to the echo last night Even- one feels that such a vast contrast as that aflbidcd . by Gladstone's'speech of a week ago I and the statement he made last nignt does not exist elsewhere in the histo ry of politics, not even in his own ca reer, and the bitterness of wrath at him defies description. Today we are getting the first installment of a new series of foreign jeers over En glish cowardice, from Berlin, Paris, Dublin and even Rome, and you can imagine how they sting." London, May 6. A dispatch from Simia, to tho Keuter telegram com pany, says that Sir Peter Lumsden has resigned the position of British Afghan boundary commissioner, be cause of his inability to agree with the policy of the home government. Lord Churchill, addressing a con servative meeting to-night, protested against the commission on the fron tier delimitation being removed to London, to bo dealt with by imbe ciles at the foreign office. Russia, he said, had always objected to tho pres ence of General Sir Peter Lumsden, and now the government had grati fied Russia by recalling General Lumsden. It was time for the torics to endeavor to bring about a chango in the advisers of the crown by re fusing supplies, London, May 7. Tho Daily Neicx is authorized to deny that Russia has stipulated that England shall not oc cupy Port Hamilton. HhzNcws be lieves Russia has offered Eugland positive assurance that she has no intention of taking Herat St Petersburg, May G. 'lhere is no appearance here of any abatement in the warliko preparations. The mobilizing of rifle battalions in Fiu land continues. Copenhagen. May.G. The king of Denmark has informed Russia that he is willing,to act as arbitrator if he was so requested by England. New York, May 6. Herald's Dub lin special: Much jubilation is being made by nationalists over the news of England's surrender to France in the Jiospli ore Emiplicn matter, and to Russia in tho Penjdeh affair. "En gland's humiliation makes Ireland's revenge," said a leading barrister. To the present perplexities of Down ing street aro soon to be added that of renewing tho coercion and crimes act, which, in in its present shape, shortly expires. Lord Spencer has plainly said that unless it is renewed in that shape, without modification, he will resign. London, May G The Tinua this morning complains of the reticence and ambiguity of the statements of the government in regard to the Af ghan question. It severely criticises the action of the government in re calling Sir Peter Lumsden, as tho frontier question will bo all settled before he can possibly arrive in Lon don, and that, therefore, any informa tion he may have will bo worthless so far as negotiations with Russia in London are concerned. The Times also says that a chango of purpose of the ameer of Afghanistan has placed matters in a different position, nnd that it is time to make him under stand that he must strongly garrison Herat, or at least allow the English to superintend the fortification of the place. JEveu if peace is tempora rily secured, it would be madness to waste the time thns gained, which at best can but be smalL The Standard, in au editorial, says: 4,The recall of Lumsden com pletes the pictnro of English hu mility." Hcott' Emulsion of I'ure Cod Liver Oil, with IlypophoHphiteH. Especially Valuable for Children. Dr. J. R. FitAYSEii. Memphis, Tenn., says: "l nave used bcott's .muision for many years, and regard it as a valuable meuicine ior ine aiseases, oi auuus, ior infants teething, and broken down sys tems in children.' New York, May G. The Tribune points to the latest monthly debt statement asa triumphant refutation of Democratic slanders regarding the management of imances by tho Re publicans. Manning's statements, comparing dollar for dollar and cent for cent, with those of his predecess ors, using the very same items, differ ing only in in arrangement, prove those assertions regarding an enor mous surplus, which Hendricks and Randall declared to be $200,000,000, concealed under crooked and fraudu lent figures, to be infamous false hoods. Republican civil service reform also convicts the Democratic party of untruth every hour of Cleve land's administration. If the old officials were rascals who should be made t go. why aro there so few found who can be removed fon cause? Nearly 100,000 Republicans still re tain office, because, under the civil service rules, no sufficient pretext for their removal can bo trumped up against them.

"Jnws r.i received here to-dav of the drowning of three men in the Colum bia river Thursday, April 30th. While on its first trip trom the little dalles the new steamer Kootenai was moored in the channel of the river at the foot of Kootenai rapids, where the current was very swift The crew were busilv engaged in preparing to line the boat over the rapids, and as the. steamer occupied this position a r row uoac irom jcarweii, commniug James M. Potter, of Spokane Falls, Nelse Halberg, Charles Jacobson, Nelse Olberjr and a man known as Eric, focr Swedes who had been at work on the Canadian Pacific rail road, attempted to run tho rapids. They were repeatedly warned and urged not to attempt the foolhardy trip "while the steamer occupied the channel of the river; but they would not listen to advice and started over the rapids. As was expected the wa ter ran so swiftly that the men could not manage the craft, and it struck the steamer, was dashed to pieces and the men were precipitated into the river. Every effort was made to sate the lives of the unfortunate voy agers, butHalberg, Jacobson a".dEric were lost Potter and Olberg were rescued with considerable difficulty, and taken back to Farwell by the steamer. Washington, May G. Treasurer Jordan says the treasury count is practically over and everything is found most satisfactory. Tho three silver dollars which escaped from a broken package in the silver vault have been found, so tho only discrep ancy is two cents missing from a S3 package of pennies in the cash room. Yesterday a heavy squaro box, wrapped in red tape and securely bound was found in an out-of-the-way nook of the vault. The key was mislaid, so a locksmith opened the box, and it was found to contain a bottle of diamonds, a bottle of pearls, a bottle of ottar of rose3 and a lump of gold. Ono of the old employes identified tho articles as presents to President Monroe about the year 1823 from the Japaueso government and which had been stored in the treasury pending the passage of an act by congress authorizing their acceptance. Congress failed to legis late on the subject and the artioles were deposited in the treasury where thev havo remained ever since. Caught by an Octopus. ' A diver who was trying to find pearls off tho Alaska coast, found none, but found himself, all of a sudd en ,in the grasp of an ugly octopus with arms twenty-seven feet long. Such an experience is rare: bnt there are thousands of people who are caught by dyspepsia, which is quite as bad. An octopus hates to let go. So does dyspepsia. Brown's Iron Bitters set tles dyspepsia, and makes it looselts cruel grip. Mrs. Schmidt and her daughter, of ldo Conway street Balti more, were both cured of dyspepsia by the use of Brown's Iron Bitters. It is rumored that Dan. Manning is to resign the treasury portfolio in order that he mav succeed Robertson as collector of the port of New York. The latter office, in a political point of view, is the most important in the Empire state, and when the election to come off in New York this fall is taken into consideration, the impor tance of this position as a means to secure an end, will be plainly mani fest Safe sleep to babies. No danger. Physicians and chemists say; Red Star Cough Cnro free from opiates; harmless and effective. A Toronto letter says that with the French Canadians the trouble is one of race and religion; with the op ponents of the government it is one of politics; with General Middleton it is simply one of business.
