the coal being put in through man holes at the
top. The advantage OF having the boiler
room at a distance from the building are obvious:
The capital will be kept free from dust, and all
danger OF serious damage from nre or explosion
will be 0bviated as the steam used in running the
elevator and fans will be at some forty pounds
pressure Ii is feared that the erection of large
chimney in the rear may mar the appearance Of

We think the Kennebec Journal need have
no fears; the repaired capitol will no doubt
be beyond any such misfortune as that con-

CHOKING CATARRH.

Have you awakened from disturbed sleep with
all the horrible sensations of an assassin clutching
your throat and pressing the lifebreath from your
frightened chest? Have you noticed the languor
and debility that succeeds the effort to clear your
throat and head of this catarrhal matter? What a
depressing influence it exerts upon the mind.
cloudlng the memory and filling the head with
pains and strange noises! How difficult it is to rid
The nasal passages. throat and lungs of this pois-
Onous mucus all can testify who are afflicted with
catarrh. How difficult to protect the system
against its further progress towards the lungs,
liver and kidneys, all physicians will admit. 1t is
terrible disease and cries out for relief cure.
The remarkable curative powers, when all other
remedies utterly fail, of SANFoRDs RADICAL
CURE, are attested by thousands who gratefully
recommend 1t to fellow-sufferers. No statement
Is made regarding 1t that cannot be substantiated

The Nashville Americans special from South

sassinate Deputy United States Marshal Sam

the valley from this place Tuesday evening at

John Upton for wild-catting and had left
him with an accompanying officer, and had
gone further down the mountain to arrest some
of his colleagues, when he suddenly ran upon
two men with shotguns. They told the officer
to skip, and upon his refusing to do so one Of

yards, eight buckshot taking effect The officer

A Boston dispatch says: When the wealthy

erect mausoleum to contain them which will
cost a. much a. many palaces. The material Of
the elaborately carved caskets, both inner and
outer, is brass and mahogany. The caskets are
brass lined and there are brass panels at the
corners and elsewhere, variously illustrated
with NEUROLOGICAL designs or inscribed appro-
priatsly. Or. Killers casket has three gold
plates, one Of which is illustrated with his pho
tograph. There are two gold plates upon the
other.

CONGRESS AND THE GREAT FAIR.


Deer Park special to the New York World
says that President Harrison, accompanied BY
Attorney General Miller, Secretary Rusk, Mar
shall Ransdell and Private Secretary Halford,
left last night for Cincinnati. Before starting
the President made some interesting statements
in reply to the inquiries Of the Worlds corre-
spondent with regard to the Columbus EXPOSE

II have resolved" said be, mot 10 express
at this time any personal preference - TO the
site for the fair. A large number Of inquiries
on this point have reached me, but I have de-
clined to give any expression Of opinion. The
people of Washington are very anxious that
the fair should be held there and are already
making efforts 70 bring about that result The
matter il one which will soon engage the atten-
ton of Congress; it will be for that body to
determine where the fair shall be held. The

sage to Congress / should make a recommends
ton favorable to Washington, but a. yet have
not given the matter serious attention. ] can
not say what will do"
The President does not appear TO think that
the circumstances call for any suggestions to
Congress by him as to the location Of the fair.
As to the general prospect Of holding worlds
fair, he is heartily in sympathy with it, most
enthusiastic advocates.
properly managed, SAID ne, such an ex-
position will doubtless benefit the whole coun-
try beyond the most sanguine expectations Of
the projectors. Every American citizen should
favor it heartily and do his utmost to make il q
brilliant success, wherever it may be held"
The President laid especial stress upon the
proper management Of the exposition, but de-
clined to give his views as to the auspices under
which the fair should be held or the details of
its management. Although very reticent on
the whole subject, the President is apparently
Of the opinion that the enterprise should re-
ceive the hearty support Of the Federal gov

talked most freely say that he considers only

A REIGN OF TERROR.
An Epidemic Of Diphtheria In IT. Most

The Ohio state board of health has informa-

900 inhabitants, which wildly describes reign
Of terror resulting from disease at that place.
There exists an epidemic Of diphtheria in the
most fatal form. The disease broke out about
two weeks ago, and spread 30 rapidly that when
the state board Of health was first notified, ON
last Friday, there were twenty-six cases and
several deaths. Since that time there are
twenty more cases and numerous deaths. The
town 10 in state Of excitement Of the widest

and funerals, the citizens build sulphur bon

states that the disease has become uncontrolla-
BILE and that medical assistance is surely
needed at the piague-ridden place. He tele-
graphed DR.. Probst, president Of the Ohio state
board OF health, to procure and send an expert

THE SIOUX LANDS.
Congressional Action Required Before
the Reservation Can be Opened.

Inquiries are being received constantly at
the Interior department. in regard to the OPEN
ing OF the Sioux reservation in Dakota. There ID
considerable confusion on the subject owing to
the fact that the last Congress passed two laws
One provided for the restoration Of the lands TO
the public domain upon the proclamation of the
Presidentannouncing the consent of the Indians
to the purchase Of the land by the government.
The sum Of $4,000 was appropriated to be ex-
pended under the direction Of the Secretary
Of the Interior for procuring such con-
sent to the act. The other law authorizes
the President TO appoint three commissioners
to negotiate with the Indian for the cession Of
their land It provides that any agreement
made by the commission with the Indians must
be submitted TO the first session Of the Fifty
first Congress for ratification.
APPROVED oS THE SAME DAY.
Both Of these acts became laws on the same
day, namely, March 2, 1889. The frst-named
law was q section Of long act detailing the
method Of the disposition of that
law law, the bounds 6p Of the .d reser,
in the Indian appropriation act When the
question was considered by the Interior de-
ment officials il was concluded that it would
be better for the Secretary to ap-
point the commission and to execute
the other law entirely. It was argued that both
laws could not be executed.
THE PRESIDENTS VIEW.
The President, however, did not take this
view. He decided to appoint the commissioners
himself and he did so. The commission hav-
ing been appointed by the President the
members were instructed to negotiate
with the Indians in the lines laid down in the
other law. II was concluded that this latter
law expressed the will of congress on the sub
tect and the commission in carrying
out its provisions, executed with laws as
far as possible. The decision of
the department as it has been expressed in
answer TO inquiries Is that the law requiring
the submission of the agreement to Congress
Is the law under which the commission was ap-
pointed, and it viii therefore be carried out.
CONGRESSIONAL APPROVAL NECESSARY.
The proclamation of the President will prob
ably be issued when Congress has ratified the
agreement. but a mere proclamation prior to
the action of Congress, il Is held at the depart
ment, would not have the effect of restoring
the lands TO the public domain

II London Is the metropolis Of the land of

the fact that in spite of its smoke and its focs
IL Is not only one Of the healthest cities in the
world. but is growing healthier every year.
According TO the Official statistics for the quar-
ter ending June last, our annual deaths are
only at the rate OF sixteen per thousand. II we
could eliminate from the calculation some over
crowded and VIGOROUSLY unhealthy districts
the figure would, Of course, drop considerably.
Still more remarkable would our sanitary con-
oltlon appear II the area were confined to the
high and airy suburbs in which so large a pro-
portion Of those who are by day in populous
city pent are fortunate enough to dwell. We
have only TO contrast this condition Of things
with the statistics of other capitals TO see how
great Is the advantage we enjoy In Paris,
which shows a comparatively good record, the
mean annual death rate is "a. 10; in Berlin it is
10; In Vienna 26.7; in Munich 81. 9, and in st.
Petersburg, s3.7. In Brussels, which appears
70 be the healthiest OF continental cities, it is
io-9. To sum up the case, the death rate dur
ing the quarter in 30 colonial and foreign cit
les, having an aggregate population exceeding
to,Vovoo persons. was 26.6 per 1000, or more
man lo11 persons per 1000 in excess of the
London death rate.
