Nearly 100, 900. CasessTreated.

All diseases of the respiratory organs treated
by the most improved medical limitations and
tho Compound Oxygen treatment, which has
such world wide reputation in lung and
nervous affections.
We take pleasure in announcing to the public
the fact that we have introduced the COM
POUND OXYGEN TREATMENT with our sys-
TEN OF the practicein the cure of Asthma. Bron-
chitis, Consumption, Dyspepsia, Insomnia, Sore
Throat, Catarrh, Rheumatism and Nervous
Prostitution.
AS is well known, oxygen is the nfe-giving
principle in the air we breathe and ozone in
the ALI impasts that happy and buoyant feeling
more oxygen than is in the air around them,
| and cause doors and windows to be opened,
tear off collars, loosen the waist, and call for
| fan to displsce the sitting and bring fresher
| air or more oxygen. Travelling is done mainly
to resorts where the air contains more oxygen,
and mountains are assembled to breathe the
| ozone, which is light and ascends from the
earth.
Oxygen and ozone are gases, and must be
stored up and used by inhaling them. Our
apparatus for storing and giving these gases,
compounded with other suitable agents, Is per.
fect; and, although they are not a cure-all yet
they are undoubtedly the greatest invention
made in the last 20 years in any department of
medicine, and the results are truly wonderful.
Oxygen acts by purifying the blood, thereby
increasing the circulation, promotes Absorb
ton, improves digestion and assimilation, in.
creases the capability of the lungs, and acts as
gentle stimulant to the nervous system.
The London, England, Lancet, very truthfully
says: 1.-THE Compound Oxygen treatment is the
greatest discovery of the Nineteenth Century
Clergymen, statesmen, lawyers, doctors, and all
classes Unfortunately. whenever 1t is intro
duced, both use and recommend it.
l have seen SO many cases of lung diseases
cured that do not consider any case hopeless
unless both lungs are seriously involved. Even
then the limitations aid us in dissolving the
mucus, and in contracting and healing the
cavities, which nothing else can do with the
same success.
The very best references from those already
cured.
CONSULTATION FREE.
Those who desire to consult with me in re-
gard to their cases had better call at my office
for consultation and exc mination, but, II i'm

A pretty story is being told which
does credit to Mrs. Harrison's SYM
pathetic nature. L is said that By
hor interceasion John Elliott, Cal
ifornia convict, was pardoned. He
wrote d touching poem on General
Harrison as > soldier, which, with
several pathetic letters led to bis
pardon. Now there are appearing
sundry dispatches telling what =
fraud he Is, aud that he is , we'll
known forger and not to be relied
on. Had Ar. Elliott been . reliable
member Of society, he would prob
ably not have been in prison, Or
have stood IN need Of 8 pardon.

cal soul, and Be capable Of reform
when 80 generously pardoned.

POLITICIANS SURPRISED.
Gen. Raum Was Not Even Men
toned for the Place

CHICAGO, Oct. 19.-The announce
ment of the selection of Gen. Green B.
Raum as pension commissioner was a
great surprise to the politicians in Chi
eago. A reporter called this morning
at the Office of Senator Farwell, but
found the senator absent, he having
gone to South Bend to meet members of
the pan-American congress. Col. Abner
Taylor, Col. James Sexton and Senator
Gibbs were found, however. All three
expressed surprise, and said it was the
first time they had heard his name
mentioned in that connection. In fact,
they had held the opinion that if any
one was to be appointed from Illinois,
it would be Gen. James s. Martin, of
Salem, as since the retirement of Cor
poral Tanner both of the senators, sew.
cral congressman and a large number
iof prominent Republicans had for
warded a recommendatiOn for his ap-
.pointment. All declared, however,
! that Gen. Raum was eminently fitted
for the position.
!, Postmaster Sexton said that there was
no man better equipped for the place;
that he was an organizer possessed of
business ability, rare tact and very
wide acquaintance.

President Harrison Appoints

WASHINGTON, Oct. ia dispatch
from Minister DENLY, under date OF
Aug. 81, referring to the ravages of the
Yellow river in China, says the
damage caused by the latest
break in its banks is irrep-
arabic. Owing to deposits OF
silt, it is estimated that fifty years must
elapse before the lands will be useful
again for agricultural purposes. A pc
culiar feature Of the trouble is that the
deposits in the bed of the river are SO
constant in aceretion that any system of
prevention in these breaks in the banks
caused by the rise in the bed of the
river, to be effective, would cost most
enormous sum of money. 1t seems
likely that a radical system of
prevention of these breaks will never
be adopted, and floods may he expected
each year. Ho-Nan. one of the most
prosperous provinces, is ruined; Anhui
has suffered terribly. and now Shan
tung is submerged. The sufferings of
ten millions of people produced great
distress, which the means of the gov
ernment are inadequate to provide for.
Foreigners have poured out money lib
orally in contributions to alleviate dis
treSS.

ciOuS sand Sl.73 per cent. From the right
bank of the Athabasca, about twelve miles
below its confluence with the Lit tie Red
river, is found maltha or mineral tar in
thin LAYERS. flowing sluggishly at tenn
perature of 20 deg. The utiliZatiO of
the former is apparent. 1t is in reality
a good bituminOuS concrete, having an
intimate combination of the mineral or
ganic constituents. 1t would form with
SCARCELY ANY TREATMENT,
a perfect substance for pavementS and
flOorings. 1t is thought that the malt ha
could be advantageOusly employed as a
crude material for the manufacture of
Illuminating and lubricating oils and
paraffine. Lignite extends over an area
not quite simultaneous with the petrO-
leum area, but which may be described
as covering the country drained by the
AthabaSca, Peace and Lizard rivers to
the west and south Of Lake Athabas ca
and Great Slave lake. Again to the
mort h the valley of the Mackenzie from
Great Bear lake to its mouth is rich in
Ignite. All this country is covered with
fur-bearing animals of various sorts.
The rivers are navigable throughout
their whole length, with the exception
of few portages at their southern ends.
In this case navigable means for stern
wheel steamers, of draft according to
the distance up the river. The delta of
the Mackenzie is in latitude 60 deg.
north. This river is navigable as far as
latitude 60 deg. and after a series of rap
ids of about twelve miles, to about lati-
tude 81 deg, that is to say in its tribu-
taries. The Nelson river from Hudson
bay is navigable for at least 1000 miles.
Who can say in the face of these facts
that railroad which would open this
area OF valuable products would not
eventually be success? The farming
lands would rapidly be settled. The
lumber, petroleum and asphaltum could
be shipped southwark, and an immense
trade built up. The metals deposited
so richly would speedily afford source
of revenue. While the world would
naturally smile at a North Pole railr0au.
the men who have prajected it prob
ably know what they are doing, and
have taken into consideration the fact
that there are regions yet unknown
which, if they bear out the indications
given by those which are already
known, will make the fortunes of sew
eral men at no very distant date.

an unbroken area the eastern boundary
extends to Fort Resolution on
the southeast of Great Slave

whence it extends in an irregularly

Arctic ocean east Of Cape Bathurst. The

Articles Of incorporation were filed
few days ago of railroad between
small town in the Northwest Territories
of Canada and the North Pole. A rail
road to the North Pole would be nov
city. 10 say the least of it. Considerable
amusement has been caused by the pub
licatiOn of the fact that articles of in
corporation had been filed. This amuSe-
ment is natural, but is only an adyer-
tisement for the ignorance of the
amused. 1t would be hard to build a
railroad all the way to the North Pole,
but one could be built which would pay
well. if under the proper management,

many travellers without success, some
of whom have never returned, and
others have given uD the chase in vain.
