unparalleIed Success.

Drs Wesley & French are having phenom-
enal success Ia the treatment OF chronic
diseases They have been m this city only
about three months, during that time they
have examined 5z7 persons and IN no IN
stance have they failed TO satisfactorily dl
agnose each and every case correctly. They
are spoken of in the highest terms by all
who have met them, and have not failed TO
inspire public confidence by their gentle
manly department and successful exanllna-
tion=. Two eases were brought TO their office
at ll9 Monroe street, yesterday, which they
promptly pronounced incurable, showing
cOnclusively that they do not desire To take
the peoples money az the risk of -eputatlon.
A prominent business man whose credullty
ranges down toward Zero. and generally
fights shy of anything bordering on tho MI
raculOus, having heard of the marvellous
cures performed by Drs. Wesley and French,
and of their readiness TO locate diseases
without asking the patient any question, was
induced to pay them visit. This gentle
man TO all appearances Il a hale, vigorous
man. but he has certain physical ailments
which cause him, at times, considerable
trouble. He entered the sanctum of the
great health dispensers perfect stranger,
aud had not been seated more than
five minutes when DIR. Wesley had
described minutely. all the symptoms
under which he was suffering. What seemed
10 astonish the man most was that these
revelations were made by an entire stranger,
when even his nearest friends knew nothing
of his being the victim of any bodily dis
ease He was forced To the conclusion that
Drs. Wesley and French can justly claim &c
be masters of the art they profess, and al
who require their services can depend upon
their knowledge and skill.

Tuesday evening the special car Of
A. Marvel, general manager Of the Man
itoba road, arrived here. Mr.. Marvel
was accompanied by H. c. Ives, assist
ant general manager; N. D. Miller,
chief engineer; A. Guthrie, superintend-
ent OF the northern division, and w. s.
Kemp, superintendent Of the Brecken-
ridge division. Several of the railroad
visitors showed up at the carnival and
witnessed the erotesque spectacle of the
French swell attempting to telescope
Sitting Bull.
Agent Kelly being INTERCEPTED by
the officials in regard to the situation of
affairs here, informed them that, even
now. the capacity of our seven hotels is
about exhausted: that with the coming
Of the thousands of people whom we
have reson to expect during the season
our hotels will fall far short of sufficient
room to accommodate them. The off,
cials said they had no idea that travel
was so extensive and arrivals 80 numer-
Gus at this early date. Mr.. Marvel was
equal to the emergency, however, and
assured Mr.. Kelly that there should be
no lack Of accommodations so far az it
was in the power Of the road to furnish
them. He instructed Mr.. Kelly to draw
on the company for sleeping coaches to
supply the deficiency at any time and
in any quantity. From one to half q
dozen coaches will be run in here and
sidc tracked for the accommodation Of
those who cannot get rooms at the
hotels, the coaches to remain as long as
needed. This will be great conven.
iencc for visitors, and people may rest
assured that Mr.. Kelly will see that
everybody gets a bed. The coaches will
not be brought here unless there is
absolute necessity for them.
