even if you have chronic nasal catarrh in its
worst stages, for although this amount of re-
ward has for many years been offered by the
proprietors of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy for
any case of catarrh they cannot cure, yet not
withstanding that thousands use the Remedy
they are seldom called upon 10 pay the reward,
and when they have been SO called upon they
have universally found that the failure to cure
was wholly due to some overlooked complica-
ton, usually easily removed by a slight modi-
6cation of the treatment. Therefore, if this
should meet the eye of anybody who has made
faithful trial of this great and world famed
Remedy without receiving perfect and per-
manent cure therefrom, that person will do well
to either call or write to the proprietors, the
Worlds Dispensary Medical Association, of
Buffalo, N. Y, giving all the particulars and
symptoms in the case. By return mail they
will get good advice free of all costs.

scene, startling AMI intensely dramatic,
was abruptly checked, however, by
the officials, who quickly seized
and forced him into padded cell, where he
has since been confined, a ravng maniac. In
this cell, so violent that clothing cannot be
kept upon him, wr,thinS and frothing in the
most horrible manner Imaginable, he will hive
to remain until his sentence exp res, unless
the United Suites government takes some
action in tho matter. The law, or rather the
lack OF law, prevents his removal to the proper
asylum for treatment The United States
statute provides for a prisoner found to be in
sane on his trial; and for pri,oner confined
in a government pententiary, who becomes
insane during confinement; but neglects such
government prisoners confined in county or

THE DARK CONTINENT.
Germany Lays Violent Hands Oh Big
Piece OF Africa.

DIR. Nachtigal, the special German Com
missioner, who is passing south along the west
coast of Africa to Angri Requean on board the
German man-of-war Movie, has hosted the
German flag over the territory south Of the
Congo, which belangs to the Hamburg mer.
chants named Waermann. These merchants
had concluded treaties with the inland chiefs,
VINO coded to them all their sovereign rights.
A dispatch to New York says: 1t is officially
confirmed that Germany has annexed the en-
tire territory between the Orange River
and the 25th degree Of south latitude. The
German flag has been hoisted along the coast
to Beersha, the country annexed being equal
in extent to the State OF New York. Tho dis
trict is adjacent to the English territory, and
feeling runs high. Only yesterday the British
flag was out down at Bageida, on the gold
coast by one Of the crew of the German war
ship MGwe, in the most high-handed manner,
and it is surmised that tho present strained
relations of the two powers in Africa will I'M
