WANTS TO DIE.
Convict Wards Attempt at Suicide by

On Thursday night q convict named
Ward, sent from Spokane county for ten
years for murder in the second degree,
attempted suicide by hanging himself to
the electric light wire in the hospital
where he is at present confined by sick.

law whereby condemned criminals are
in the futre to be executed by electricity,
aud thought that the current through the
wire would bs effective in taking his own
life. The wire broke, smashing the lamp,
and the attempt failed. Ward is one of
the few convicts to whom sympathy can
safely be extended. A few days since. in
Olympia, we were talking to the prosecut-
ing attorney who convicted him, and he
informed us that Ward was driven to des-

Reference has been made In the REVIEW
to the townships lying north OF this city
and in Stephens county, in which the set
tiers are held in suspense and new settlers
are prevented from making entries or ac-
quiring title to lands, on account of an
order issued by the general land office, and
based upon alleged fraud in the manner In
which the surveys were made. AS the
lands affected by this order amount to
nearly 100000 acres it may be readily per-
ceived that it is "a matter of great inpor-
tance to great number of people.

Office at Washington has written the fol-

SEEING IS BELIEVING. Wonderful Restoration of Paralyzed
 Arm by Dr. Morrow.

There is certainly something wonder ful about the power for healing the sick possessed by DR. MERRow, of No. ll5 Fairfield avenue. Wonderful from the fact that in but very few cases, simply by an application of magnetic power, the sssick are made whole.n Happening in the doctors office one day this week, the writer there had an opportunity of wit messing examples of this wonderful power. Mrs Hester Burton, living on Campbell street, who told us that she had not used her arm for two years, ap- piled to DR. MERRow for relief, and in less than b minutes she was enabled to not only move her arm readily, but easily lifted articles, which she had been unable to do before. A Mrs Brown said she had been troubled with dyspepsia and indigestion. Everything she ate gave her distress. She had applied to a number of physicians, who endeavored to relieve her, but none seemed to do heI any good. About week ago she appli. ed to DR. MERRow, who, to her astonish. ment, told her that she was troubled with tape worms. This was startling information. But she was assured by the doctor that such was the fact, and was astonished when DR. MERRow, in a very few minutes, removed from her a tape worm 97 feet s inches long; to-day the lady is enjoying good health. This worm may be seen at the doctors office at any time. And thus it is, without any excitement, without any noise, DR. MERRow is healing the sick and making hundreds happy. The doctors charges are very reasonable, his consultations being free, enabling the poor to obtain relief as we'll as the rich. So large has the doctors practice become that he has been obliged to secure Dr Davis, of the Eye and Ear hospital, New York, to as- sist him at Bridgeport.
