thf y, II I [fry forHealth! 222 South Peoria St., CHICAGO, I I I Oct. 7,1902. Eight months ago I was so ill that I was compelled to lie or sit down nearly all the time. My stomach was so weak and upset that I could keep nothing on it and I vomited frequently. I could not urinate without great pain and I coughed so much that my throat and lungs were raw and sore. The doctors pro nounced it Bright's disease and others said it was consumption. It mattered little to me what they called it and I had no de sire to live. A sister visited me from St. Louis and asked me if I had ever tried Wine of Cardui. I told her I had not and she bought a bottle. I believe that it saved my life. I believe many women could save much suffer ing if they but knew of its value. •£L*J»r Don't you want freedom, from pain? Take Wine of Cardui and make one supreme effort to be well.

PLE A FO CUB A President Roosevelt on the Need of Legislation for the Cuban Republic. Say* Propose Reciproca Arrange "Will to Our A a a Also—The W of he United States W Benefited— Sees a in a Washington, Nov. 11.—The following is President Roosevelt's message to the extraordinary session of congress: To the Senate and House of Represent atives: I have convened the congress that it may consider the legislation nec essary to put into operation the com mercial treaty with Cuba, which was ratified by the senate at its last session and subsequently by the Cuban govern ment I deem such legislation demand ed, not only by our interest, but by our honor. We cannot with propriety aban don the course upon which we have so wisely embarked. When the accept ance of the Piatt amendment was re quired from Cuba by the action of con gress of the United States, this govern ment thereby definitely committed itself to tbfi policy of treating Cuba as occupying a unique position as regards this country. It was provided that when the island became a free and independ ent republic she should stand in such close relations with Us as in certain re spects to come within our system of international policy and it necessarily followed that she must also to a certain degree become Included within the lines of our economic policy. Situated as Cuba is it would not be possible for this country to permit the strategic abuse of the plan by any foreign military power. It is for this reason that certain lim itations have been Imposed upon her financial policy and that naval stations have been conceded by her to the United States. The negotiations as to the de tails of these naval stations are on the ^ve of completion. They are so sit uated as to prevent any idea that there is the intention ever to use them against Cuba, or otherwise than for the protec tion of Cuba from the assaults of for eign foes, and for the better safeguard ing of American interests in the waters south of us. Good a of Cuba S These interests have been largely in creased by the consequences of the war with Spain, and will be still further in creased by the building of the Isthmian canal. They are both military and economic. The granting to us by Cuba of the naval stations above alluded to is of the utmost importance from a mil itary standpoint and is proof of the, good faith with which Cuba ia treating I us. Cuba has made great progress since. her independence was established. She has advanced steadily in every way. She already stands high among her sis ter republics of the new world. She is loyally observing her obligations to us and she is entitled to like treatment by*us. The treaty submitted to you for ap proval secures to the United States economic advantages as great as these given to Cuba Not an American in terest Is sacrificed. By the treaty a large Cuban market is secured to our pro ducers It is a market which lies at our doors, which is already large, which is capable of great expansion and which Is especially important to the develop ment of our export trade. It would be indeed short-sighted for us to refuse to take advantage of such opportunity and to force Cuba into making arrangements with other countries to our disadvan tage. Treat Stands Alone This reciprocity treaty stands by itself. It is demanded on consideration of broad national policy as well as by our economic interest. It will do harm to no industry. It will benefit many industries. It is in the interest of our people as a whole, both because of its importance from the broad standpoint of international policy and because economically it intimately concerns us to develop and secure the rich Cuban market for our farmers, artisans, mer chants and manufacturers. Finally, it is desirable as a guaranty of the good faith of our nation towards her young sister republic to the south, whose wel fare must ever be closely bound with ours. We gave her liberty. We are knit to her by the memories of the blood and the courage of our soldiers who fought for her in war by the memories of the wisdom and integrity of our ad ministrators woo saved her in peace and whostarted her so well on the dif ficult path of self-government. We must help her onward and upward and in helping her we shall help ourselves. The foregoing considerations caused the negotiation of the treaty with Cuba and its ratification by the senate. They now with equal force support the legis lation by the congress which by the terms of the treaty is necessary to ren der it operative A failure to 'enact such legislation would come perilously^near a repudiation of the pledged faith of the nation. I transmit herewith the treaty, as amended by the senate and ratified by the Cuban government. White House. Nov. 10,1903.

Coroner Heimark held an inquest at Pelican Rapids over the remains of the man found in the woods near that place. County Attorney Hilton was present and a searching investigation was made. The evidence proved beyond a rea sonable doubt that the remains were those of Jacob Johnson who disap peared Sept. 8, 1895. The same night bis shanty was burned. The verdict of the coroner's jury was to the effect that the deceased came to his death by having his skull crushed by some instrument in the hands of some person to the jury unknown. At the time of Johnson's disappear ance he was reported to have had a considerable amount of money on his person, aud there is is no doubt that he was murdered for his money and his body concealed by the murderer A Large Cheek. The state treasurer has received a check for 9200,000 from the state pri son at Stillwater for money which had been received since November 1 for prison twine and hemp. The collection during October amounted to about 9150,000, so that the total receipts from the twine and hemp plant since the beginning of the fiscal year of August 1 amounted to about 8384,941. The total receipts for last year were 8585,862, and it is estimated that the receipts this year will not fall below 8600,000. Lumber Shipments. Lumber shipments from the head of the lake for October were 55,000,000 feet, of which 43,000,000 were from Duluth, 7,000,000 from Two Harbors and 5,000,000 were from Superior. Ves sels are scaYce, and it is said they will be for the rest of the season, so that shipments may be slower than other wise. But a large amount is still looked for eastern delivery this year. Rates are going to 83 a thousand, for Lake Erie, where they will stay for the rest of the year. More Murders. Another desperate train robbery took place about midnight on an east bound freight train of the great North ern a few miles west of Maple Plain in Hennepin county. As a result of the robbery one man lies dead at the coun ty morgue, while another is very pain fully injured at St. Mary's hospital, and two more are limping about try ing to find work in the railroad camp at Maple Plain. The last of the vic tims has not been found so far. Becomes a Candidate. Loren W. Collins, justice of the su preme court, announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for governor of this state. The announcement created some thing of a sensation in the state politi cal circles, as it was not looked for at this time. The formal announcement was made through the columns of the St. Cloud Journal Press. Wolves Near Duluth. It is a little early for wolf stories, but farmers coming into Duluth from Kenwood say that two timber wolves appeared in front of the schoolhouse that district about the time for the children to be dismissed, and fright ened greatly. The animals were fright ened off by a passing farmer. News Motes. The livery barn belonging to Nelson Brothers at Bagley, caught fire and only apart of the contents were saved. A team of mules, one of horses and a cow were burned, besides several sets of harness, together with all cutters and sleighs. Never before in the history of north ern Minnesota's great mining industry have so many mines been closed down so early in the season. Thousands of miners and hundreds of railroad men have been given their time. Carl Axelson, 16 years old, was acci dentally shot and killed by Axel Peter son aged 19, at Two Harbors. Frank Kelly, of Shieldsville, Rice county, who was working for Murphy Bros, at Richland, has his left forearm taken off in a corn shredder. Six car of stock, two of fish and six of shingles were piled up in a mass of wreckage at Bailey Station. The Firtile Commercial club organ ized a few months ago, has collasped. The Merchantile association has also suspended. The merchants found their interests could be best promoted by independent individual action. Three school boys, of Fosston while playing truant, met with a sad acci dent. They took with them a shotgun and it was accidentally discharged, and the contents burying itself in both legs of Elmer Helland. George Lehan of Green Bay, Wis., a bridge carpenter of the Chicago, Mil waukee & St. Paul railway at Chan ning, was fonnd dead in his bed. TO FORGE COAST BLOCKADE Gen. Jiminez Leaves Hayti for San to Domingo. %. ad of on Hope to Effect a in at Puert Plata—Battle to a Occurred. Cape Haytien, Hayti, Nov. 16.— The Frenca steamer St. Simon, with Gen. Jimmez, head of the Dominican revolution, on board, has left Port-Au Prince, Hayti, with the intention, ac cording to report, of forcing the block ade of Puerto Plata, on the northern coast of Santo Domingo. The Haytien authorities formally opposed the landing in Hayti of Gen. Jiminez, in spite of his strong insist ence upon being permitted to do so. It is said that if the St. Simon is interfered with, she will ask for the assistance of the German cruiser Ga zelle, or any other foreign warship which may be Dominican waters. The French cruiser Jurien de la Graviere, which was these waters recently, is understood to have re turned to the island of Martinique. Telegraphic communication with the interior of Santo Domingo was rees tablished Friday morning, but now is again interrupted, and it is reported that severe fighting must have oc curred before San Domingo. The recent arrest of the officers and heads of departments of the national bank at Port-Au-Vrince on the charge of having been connected with the fraudulent issue of bonds early in the year, has caused a great sensation here, and it is commented upon from different points of view. IMPORTANT DISCOVERY. Hithert Saying's of Christ Are Unearthe in figrypt Archaeologists London, Nov. 16.—Many hitherto un known sayings of Jesus have been dis covered in Egypt by archaeologists, who have dug up papyri buried since the second century, 100 miles south of Cairo. Dr. Bernard P. Grenfell, who has been engaged in Egyptian excavations since 1894, at the general meeting of the Egypt exploration fund here Friday gave the following details: Accompanied by Dr. Hunt, Dr. Gren fell found a rich Ptolemaic necropolis at El-Hibeh. The bulk of documents from one mound consisted of a collec tion of sayings of Jesus. They are all introduced with the words: "Jesus saith," and for the most part are new. The ends of the lines, unfortunately, are often obliterated. Apparently all the sayings were addressed to St. Thom as. One of the most remarkable is: "Let not him that seeketh cease from his search until he find, and when he finds he shall wonder wondering he shall reach the Kingdom e., the Kingdom of Heaven, and when he reaches the Kingdom he shall have rest." Dr. Grenfell remarked that enormous Interest would be aroused by the discov eries, on account of the variations they disclosed from accepted texts. One variant of the mystical saying, record ed in St. Luke, "The kingdom of God is within you," was of great value as the saying in the papyrus appeared in quite different surroundings from those attributed to it by the evangelist and extended far into another region According to Dr. Grenfell, these say ings formed the new gospel which is traditionally associated with St. Thomas. LOCKOUT IN PITTSBURG. a Men Ont as Resul Strik in in Trade Unionists.

ANCIENT FISH CURES ir* -x MEDICINAL VIRTUES THAT USED TC DECK THE FINNY TRIBE. W Value I a Its Curative Properties, a Cain W as Hel I Hia-h E I Old Bnarland—The an of Fishes, Fishing literature prior to the days and writings of Izaak Walton opens up points of interest which are unique Hot the least interesting are the con stant references of the early writers to the medicinal virtues of fish. Of course many of the salt and fresh water fish es mentioned by the old writers are not recognized in the waters of today* but the fresh water perch, carp, tench and eel are yet recognized, and it is in connection with these fish that some of the quaintest ideas as to their me dicinal virtues have prevailed. The Germans have a-^comparative proverb which says, "More wholesome than a perch of the Rhine," and it ia certain that from the earliest times this familiar fish has been esteemed as one of the best gastronomic produc tions of fresh water. It has also been ascribed medicinal virtues. Gesner says that physicians value the perch so much that they recommend it to be freely eaten by wounded men, women in childbed and those suffering from dangerous fevers. Aldrovandus praises it and mentions that the two otooliths ("round bones") found in the head of the perch are marvekrasly good for stone in the bladder. That the carp was esteemed in olden times In England is certain. Dame Berners, writing in her quaint "Trea tysee of Eysshynge Wyth an Angle." published in 1406, says, "The carpe be a deyntous fish, but there ben few in Englonge." Being "deyntous"—I. e., "dainty"—it must have been a good fish at that time to eat. It has certainly lost its character since then. In the art of healing the carp plays a respectable part. One old writer speaks of the Xat of the carp as being of mi raculous power for the alleviation of "hot rheumatism." The manner of its application was by frequent rubbing on the painful part, and the effect was said to be eminently mollifying and salutary. The triangular bones in the throat of the carp on being ground to powder and applied to a wound or bleeding nose were said to act as styp tic. The gall was also said to have been used for sore eyes, and "above the eyes," says an old JEsculapius, "two little bones exist, semicircular In shape, which are diligently preserved by noble females against the lunatical disease." In the "Haven of Health" carp are also comprised in "the ten sortes of fische which are reckoned as principal in the preservation of health," and, adds the quaint old writer, "this fish is of great wholesomeness and great value, and its tongue is very pleasant to carping ladies A kind of first cousin of the carp is what is known as the barbel. Such ancients as Juvenal, Albertus and oth ers of that ilk evidence that it was known and esteemed by the Roman gourmet. Plutarch mentions a curious fact in its natural history- Dr. Bad ham in his "Prose Haleutics" trans lates this passage as follows- "The roe of the barbel is very poisonous. Anto nio Gazius took two boluses and thus describes his sensations: 'At first I felt no inconvenience, but some hours hav ing elapsed I began to be disagreeably affected, and as my stomach swelled and could not be brought down by anise and carminatives I was soon in a state of great depression and distress'" It appears that his countenance was pallid, like a man in a swoon. Deadly coldness ensued, and violent cholera and vomiting came on. The barbel (Barbus vulgaris) of today has survived such poisonous qualities. Its flesh has the taste of stewed white blotting pa per, and its roe is as innocuous as bread pills. Ail the same, good Julyana Berners shared the bad opinion of the earlier writers. She says: "The barbyll Is a swete fish, but it is quashy mete and perylous for mannys bodye. For comynly he ynyth an introduction to ye febris (fever), and if ye be eten rawe he may cause of mannys dethe whych hath often beene seene." The tench which has been introduced into some parts of this country is an olive greenish carp which has been for long time termed in England the "phy sician of fishes." According to a score or more of authorities, ancient and modern, the thick slime with which It is covered exerts healing effect on all wounds or diseases in which it can come in contact on or in other fishes. Whence this belief originated is not known, but one instance of exact ob servation is well worthy of credence. Mr. Wright in his book on "Fishes and Fishing" tells how a minnow acciden tally hooked in the water of an aqua rium in which it was swimming, on breaking loose, immediately descended three parts of the way down the wa ter and swiftly approached its nose to the side of the tench which was its companion in the aquarium. It rub bed its nose for a few seconds against the tench and then again swam about as lively as before. To this testimo ny Mr. Wright adds: "We (my friend and I who were watching the perform ance) were both of the opinion that it is really no fable as to the tench being the iEsculapius of fishes, for here was an example before our eyes of a fish being wounded and immediately in stinct directing it to seek a remedy." One piscatorial truth is known to all who fish for pike or pickerel. The pike (esoxlucius) will ravenously seize as his prey the fry of almost every fish, including his own species, and all the bait minnows are also caviare to him, but he will not touch the tench.— Brooklyn Eagle. Rescued from Suffering and Death by PAINE'S uj Celery Compound THE GREAT flEDICINE. MR. ALFRED BROWN, A Prominent and Popular Citizen, Says: "After tie Use of Paine's Celery Compound, I Am Now in the Best of Health." The greatest of modem physicians, Prof. Edward E. Phelps, M. D., LL. D„ after years of long practice and close scientific study, gave to suffering and diseased men and women his marvelous, life giving prescription, with the conviction and positive knowledge that it had peculiar virtues and ample powers to cure. Thousands of the strongest testimonials from the best known and most reliable men and women of our country fully sustain the claims made by Dr. Phelps regarding his incompar able Paine's Celery Compound. One of the most convincing proofs furnished, comes recently from a gentleman widely known in the capital city of the Dominion of Canada. We refer to Mr. Alfred Brown, 91 O'Connor St., Ottawa, Ont. Mr. Brown's letter fully demonstrates the fact that the greatest sufferer may cast off his or her burden of disease and become well, strong, and happy. It proves, too, that the great medicine mam* tains more fully than ever before its unrivaled place in the estimation of people of wealth and social standing as well as with the masses. Mr. Brown says:— I acknowledge with thankfulness and pleasure the fact that I have been cured of a very painful illness of eight years' standing by use of Paine's Celery Compound. I had, during the years of my illness, tried almost all the advertised medicines without deriving any good results. I was also treated by several of the best doctors of this city, hoping to find that one of them, at least, would understand my case. I was getting worse, and was told I was incurable. I was indeed in a cntical condi tion. I could not go from the house alone, as I was liable to sudden collapse. I tried hospital treatment, but no relief or good results came to me. I could not sleep anythingthat I ate uxreasedmy agonies I was extremely weak, restless, tired, and despondent was obliged to walk about with my hands pressed firmly into my left side to ease my pains my feet and hands were cold continually had inclination to vomit, had profuse, cold sweats, quick breathing, and would be racked with pain for hours at a time. "After the regular use of Paine's Celery Compound for a time, I am now in the best of health, have good appetite, and can use any kind of food. Thank God I am my old self once more, all through the use of Paine's Celery Compound." FOR TWENTY TEARS DIAMOND DYES have been the standard home dyes.
