German
Syrup

Here is an incident from the South
mississippi. written in April, 1890,
just after the Grippe had visited that
country. II am a farmer, one of
those who have to rise carly and
work late. AT the beginning of last
Winter was on trip to the City
Of Vicksburg. Miss. where got we'll
drenched in a shower of rain. I
went home and was soon after seized
with a dry, hacking cough. This
grew worse every day, until I had
to seek relief. l consulted DR.. Dixon
who has since died, and he told me
to get a bottle Of Boschee's German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew
worse and worse and then the Grippe
came along and 1 caught that also
very severely. My condition then
compelled me to do something. I
got two bottles of German Syrup. I
began using them, and before taking
much of the second bottle, 1 was
entirely clear of the Cough that had
hung to me so long, the Grippe. and
all its bad effects. l felt tip-top and
have felt that way ever since"

BEGGARY IN EUROPE.

Hundreds of Starving Families and Dis.
tress From Strikes and Other Causes.
LONDON, May 16.-A Berlin dispatch
says that the workmen dismissed from
employment at Bielitz, Silesia, for
leaving work without permission on
May day assembled yesterday to the
number of several thousand and de-
manded to be put back to work. This
the employers refused, whereupon
many of the working people became
demonstrative and riot being appre-
hcndcd the garrison was called out
The people, however, dispersed with
out doing any violence.
Vienna advices state that at Pesth,
Hungary, hundreds of families of work
ingmen are without shelter, having
been turned on the street for non-pay-
mcnt of rent.
The land owners in Hungary are
forming combinations with a pledge
not to employ nor to allow their tenants
to employ any laborers who take part
in labor agitations. AS consequence
many of the laboring classes are pre-
pairing to emigrate.
nome auVlceS Stduc tndu the misery
among the working classes is very
great. Owing to the decline in values
and the stagnation of building inter-
ests, thousands are out of employment
who have usually enough work at this
time of the year. All who can are en-
igrating. mostly to North and South
America, but the very poor who cannot
obtain money to emigrate remain and
infest the city everywhere. The multi
tude of beggars has never been so
great and they are more than usually
importunate. King Humb bert gives
away large sums from his personal in
come in charity. but that does not af-
feet to any appreciate degree the
amount Of squalor and misery.

WASHINGTON, May 1G.-The president

o'clock last evening exactly on schedule

moncd to the observation car every per-
son who had accompanied him on the

make the number round 40.
lie then referred to the unprecedent-
ed excellence and perfection of the rail-
road service throughout the entire trip.
and said that fact that they had been
able to travel over 10. 600 miles of ter
ritory in a splendidly equipped train
without an accident or mishap of any
kind and without one minutes varia-
ton from the pre-arranged schedule
must always be regarded as most re-
markable achievement He said that
Mr.. George w. Boyd, of the Pennsyl-
vania road was entitled to great
credit for his excellent manage
ment of the trip. and he added
that it was superb exhibition
of what training, energy and inteli-
gence resulted for man. He then re-
turned his thanks individually to the
conductors, the engineer and firemen,
the chef and his assistants, the brake
men, the walters and porters, and in
fact every person who had rendered
service to the party ON the trip.

SOMETHING very singular has been
discovered. so it is alleged, on the face
of the recent issue OF treasury notes
which makes it more than possible for
the skillful forger or counterfeiter to
make the notes of the lower denom;na-
tons pass for the larger. The defect is
in the ink used by the officials in the
treasury department in the printing of
these notes. it being of such character
that it is possible for any one to rub out
the figures and substitute any that may
seem most convenient for the purpose

After Barillas' Blood.


Reports have been received Of a revo-
luton in Guatemala In which 500 lives
have been sacrificed. 1t appears that
the people were celebrating the ami
vcrsary Of their national holiday, and
President Barilas had rsonally APP
pointed the orators of the day. To this
the masses took exception. Whea the
orators took the rostrum ii was signal
for storm OF stones, which set them to
fight, they being chased across the big
plaza by n bowling mob. An exciting
scene follow d, and every Bartlas
partisan was driven from The plaza.
The news of the riot spread Rapidly,
and soon Barillas threw battalion
of infantry into the large square
for the purpose OF dispensing
the mob They, with fixed bay
onets. attempted to carry the
plaza by assault. They were met
with shower OF stones and By fusil-
lade from revolvers, and fed, leaving
many dead and wounded behind. Mem
bers of the mob shouted: "Let's storm
the national palace, xii Rarillas and re-
store republican form Of government
"Plundering the national treasury must
cease" Barillas then ordered artillery
into the plaza and infantry and two
cannon to guard his residence. When
the guns were turned on the mob the
rioters fed keeping up desultory fire
on the soldiers. They left the plaza,
but fought in the side streets; in fact
they practically during the night held
full control of the city.

strict censorship is maintained over all
press dispatches, and the mails are also
lrined with to prevent any information
becoming known. A special from New
ton on the line between Guatemala and
Mexico, brings the information that
Barillas is master of the situation, hav-
ing put down the revolt in the city of
Guatemala after three days of hard fight
Ing. The revolt was precipitated by Mon
tn ar, q son of one of the candidates for
the Presidency, who Is strong partisan
of Barillas, in attempting to make
political speech on independence Day.
A mob threw him and his friends from
the platform in the main plaza, citing
them with stones until they found shell
ter in a neighboring house. The arrival
Of troops from adjoining districts event
ually restored Barilas TO power, and the
whole city is now filled with soldiers and
martial law has been declared.
A private dispatch says that fully 500
lives were sacrificed in the three days
fighting, and that President Barillas is
still shooting down the participants in
the revolt as If they were animals The
dispatch also conveys the information
that Baril as has declared himself c.
tator. A reign OF terror prevails, the
inhabitants being afraid TO leave their
houses.

The Earth Trcmbled.

Three almost continuous vibrations or
an earthquake, oscillating from east to
west, were felt one n ght recently In
parts of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Mis-
souri,, and Kentucky. At st Louis tho
shock was quite severe, and buildings
were shaken violently. People we o
aroused by the disturbance and rushed
In terror, half clad, to the street. 1t Is
said by many that the shock felt there
was similar to that experienced on the
night Of the memorable Charleston dis
aster. The shock lasted two minutes.
Considerable crockery and glassware
was demolished, and some wooden sta
bles on the outskirts of the city topped
ever. Buildings facing the north and
south were visibly affo ted by the shock
The shock was distinctly felt at In
annapolis, and while reports as to its
duration differ the best information says
1t lasted at least eight seconds.
Louisville, Ky, lad good shaking,
and, although 10 serious damage was
done, it caused cons derable excitement
all over the city. The bell in the City
Hall tower was rung by the vibrations
OF the building, AM the Waterman in
the tower thought his last hour had
come. At the Gait House and other
hotels the bells were rung, water-pit b.
ers were overturned in the upper stories,
and guests came hurrying downstairs
in panic, 1t requiring much persuasion
to induce the more timid to return to
their quarters. Several drug stores suf-
fered slight loss fApm broken bottles
and prematurely mixed drugs.
In the residence part OF the city the
shock caused much arm, the people
rushing into the street, and when the
shock subsidized formed long ranks Of ex-
cited groups anxiously discussing the
probabilities of recurrence OF the
quake. No casualties occurred any
where in the city, and no damage OF con-
sequence was suffered by buildings. Tho
vibrations were from east TO west, and
lasted only few seconds.
Three separate shocks were plainly
felt at Keokuk, Iowa. They followed
closely upon each other, and the vibra-
ton lasted fully one minute in each case
The direction appeared to be from
southeast to northw st, and su pended
electric lights swayed sharply. No dam
age was done. The shock appears to
have been general throughout South
eastern Iowa
At Evansvil e, Ind, one prolonged
shock was felt. No damage was done,
but general fright ensued.
