ASTHMA
It Is common error to suppose every dis

Just as we do In Asthma, only that in these
diseases II is always present, whereas in Asthma
Asthma is . spasmodic disease Of the lungs,
which manifests itself in periodic attacks or
''fits" 1t comes on suddenly and is attended
wit with tSe e 1bs ss
almost as well as in health. 50
Nervous, Humid and Dry Asthma are names
given to different forms Of this disease En-,
Of Asthma, while Hay Fever or Rose Cold ID .
peculiar variety Of Asthma which occurs at .
certain season Of the year Each Of these
forms OF disease differs somewhat from the
others In symptoms, but practically these dis
tinctions are OF very little value. 1t does not
matter to the patient which form of Asthma
all. In one case the expectoration becomes
yellow and we call It bronchial. In another
1t is light, and we call it dry. When he coughs
up clear water. with white froth on the sur
face, we say he has Humoral Asthma. In
Nervous Asthma there is very little expecter-
alton of any kind. Hay Fever always begins
as a crying cold in the head or influenza, and
a clear water runs from the nose and the eyes
before the Asthma fit comes on. In Emphysema
the expectoration is generally thick, and con-
tinuess so in the interval between the flts,
while the shortness of breath is increased on
the slightest exertion.
1t is foolish conceit OF many people to bc-
licve thai II they have Asthma they cannot get
They are more liable TO fall into Gonsumption
because they have the Asthma Another idea
is that the Asthma itself IL not a dangerous dis
ease, and yet the published bills OF mortality
for this city prove to all who read them that
thisfoul destroyer of our homes.
Without courage and perseverance nothing
Is durable. But with these, aided by proper
and skillful treatment, Asthma can be cured
even after the lungs are extensively diseased
practice can use the remedies at home as we'll as
at our office, and which will cause no incon-
venience or hindrance from businefs whatever.
Every case of Asthma Is curablc. Eastern
visitors and inyalids will be wise In being
cured before they return home.. .

Statement of the Deplorable Condition in
That Country.
MADRAS, Aug. 6.-Though the mon
soon set in some time ago in some parts
of India, dispelling all fears of failur
of crops in that portion of the country
where the rains had fallen, there has
been no rain in the Chingleput and
North Arcot districts in this presiden-
cy, and all hopes Of ayerting famine
have been abandoned. The heat is un-
precedented. The standing grain and
other crops have succumbed to the long
.drouth and are all withered and burn
ed. Already the effects Of the scarcity
of food are being felt, and there is suf-
fering among many Of the inhabitants
of the districts. Many deaths from
starvation have been reported. 1t is
also impossible oget food for the cat
tie, the pasture lands being devoid Of
grasses. and in many places the rivers
have dried up, rendering it impossible
to get water for them. Horses, COWS.
donkeys and other live stock are dying
in large numbers everywhere in this
district. It is not only the poor classes
Of the population that are suffering

eur Crops Will BE In Demand.

If we may trust the elaborate and
painstaking estimates and calcula-
tions Of the New York Suns statis-
tician, we shall have great demand
for our agricultural products. Our
farmers are going to have bountiful
crops, and the year promises to be a
profitable one, though our increased
prices will be at the expense of suf-
fering and want in other lands.
Last winter was a rigorous one for
all parts Of Europe and for parts Of
northern Africa. The spring aud
summer have not been of character
to undo the mischief of the winter.
The crop in Great Britain is expected
to be short about 65, 900, 900 bushels,
which means demand for some
l6O,00O,0OO Of American wheat.
France usually calling upon us for
about Sc, ,O0O,O bushels, has this
year ! shortage Of 1sO, ,ooo, 900 bush
els. II is evident, therefore, that
they will want from abroad l6O,-
100000 bushels Of wheat, to say

A TRIFLE OFFICIOUs,

A special dispatch from Washing
ton announces that prominent Of
fetal of the Treasury department
gave it out that "The farmers of
the West and Northwest are viola
tors of the law, and somebody should
tell them about it." He explained
that there was law passed entitled
can act to protect trade and COM
merce against unlawful restraints
and monopolies."
This law he declared the farmers
would violate if they undertook to
hold their wheat for higher prices.
sThis scheme is violation of the
law, and will be punished he says.
Coming from a government off
cial this seems triHe officious. For
years similar tactics-less honorable
have been practiced by the wheat
gamblers without ever hint from
government Official that it was a
violation Of law or that they would
be punished. But just as soon as
the farmer attempts to protect him
self against these sharks they at
once discover the fragrant violation
Of law and threaten to punish it.
Harrison had better call off his
treasury official, whoever he is, for
such breaks are not conducive to
popularity. y.-Commonwealth.

So, ,OOO, 900 bushels, or something over
20 per cent.
In 1880, the latest year given, out of
a wheat crop of 49O, ,OOO, 900 bushels we
exported 100000, 900 bushels, or over
% per cent.
In 1859 we exported about 2,OOO, 900
bushels of corn out of crop of about
200, ,000, 900 busbels-or less than one
fourth Of one per cent of the entire am
ount. In 1889 we exported 100000, 900
bushels of a crop of 2,1OO 900 600 BUSH
els, or about 5 per cent. The tables show
like results as to cotton and provisions.
What do these results prove? I'm
mlstakably, that instead of approach
ing we are gradually moving away
from home market, ard that larger
proportion, of our wheat, corn, cotton
and provisions is compelled to seek a
foreign market now, than twenty years
ago, Notwithstanding the terrible taxes
levied on the farmer meanwhile under
the pretence of providing him a home
market for. what he produces.
Can it be possible that any intelligent
man will longer slave and toll, and pay
all that he makes, except a bare sup
port for the purchase of a market that
is actually moving away from hinl-as
these official statistics undoubtedly
demonstrate?

WHO WAS HE!
The Fate of a Young Man Who Met
Death Alone.

The Fate of n Young Man Who Met
Death Alone.
The blood and thunder report which
was circulated in town last week. but
which lacked confirmation, seems to be
an exaggerated report of really shock
ing occurrence; of the uncoffined burial
on the prairie, without requiem or pray
er, of a young man who died alone and
from injuries received from gunshot.
Several weeks ago a party of four, from
Bathgate, came to the unsettled Sec
tion of the country between Langdon
and Cando upon hunting expedition.
Some two weeks ago one of the party
was accidentally shot in the hand and
he went to Cando to Dr.. Fawcett who
dressed the wound and requested that
he return in couple of days and have
it dressed again. He returned to the
camp of his friends, and his wound not
receiving proper attention, blood poi
son set in. Acting upon the advice of
his comrades. he started to return on
foot to his home near Bathgate, while
the balance of the party continued
their hunt for several days. They fin
ally gathered their traps and started
home, but had lot journeyed far when
they came upon the swollen and de-
composed body Of their comrade, who
had set out four days prior to their re-
turn. Owing to the high state of pu-
trefacation Of the body an impromptu
grave was dug and the remains were
Inferred, uncoffined and without cere-
mony. The parties all live near Bath
gate, it is supposed, and none of their
names are known.

and which caused States Attorney

ed it, giving his theory as to how it
came there, and from which grew the
story of a terrible fight between cow

to the prey of wild animals and vul-
tures.-Rolla Star.

MlMnesOtans Kicking Because North
Dakota will Inspect Her
own Wheat.

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug 6.-The Tribune
publishes the following: The North
Dakota railroad and warehouse COM
mission has recently decided upon a
plan which promises to precipitate a
red-hot row between the commission
and elevator and railroad, companies.
The plan is nothing more or less than
a system of inspection at the eastern
line Of North Dakota, and it is propos-
ed to inspect all North Dakota wheat
before it goes into Minnesota.
The plan was contemplated last year
but was not achieved on account the
shortage in funds necessary to carry it
out, but this year it goes and the elev-
ator companies hav0 been, or will be,
notified Of the new rule and held to

Ruli1ors of War.

PARIS, Aug, 6.-Telegrams from So
fla, the capital of Bulgaria, bring ru-
mors that active preparations for war
are being made by the military author
tiles of that country. Inquiries have
been made in official quarter here, but
the rumors received no confirmation,
the officials declaring that they had no
knowledge of any warlike preparation
being made in any of the capitals ofthe
Balkan states. The only information
elected was that Bulgaria recently
placed a large order for artillery with
the great German gunmakers, the
Krupps.

EXPENDED CORRUPTLY,

How the Boodlers Got Away with $780,
900 of Canada's Money.
OTTAWA, Ont, Aug. TN the sen-
ate committee on railroads, Walter
Barwick, of Toronto, representing the
Ontario Bank, reiterated his statement
that of the S2SO,00O granted by the
Mercier government to liquidate the
claims of the old Bail de Chaleurs
Railway Company, much has been put
to improper use. lie could prove, he
said, that $l75, 900 had been corruptly
expended by the Mercier government
of Quebec, $50, 900 of this amount hav-
ing passed through the hands of Mr..
Pacaud, of L L'Electeur, Premier Mer-
cier's organ. He was willing to make
a positive statement as to the purpose
the Quebec government had devoted
the 100000, but he hoped to show this
in evidence. Statements in reply were
by Hector Cameron, @ c., by William
Lonergan, president Of the company,
and the committee decided to receive
testimony on Mr.. Barwick's statement.
The new inquiry will commence to-
morrow.
Within the last three or four days
marked change has occurred in the tao
tics of the government in the Tarte-
Langevin investigation, At the outset
Sir John Thompson and other member
of the government showed a disposi-
tion to probe the scandal to the bot
tom. Now there is an evident disposi-
ton to save Langevin and sacrifice Nc
Greevy. This confirms the statement
entertained by many that the govern
ment dare not allow Langevin to be
sacrificed simply because he knows too
much, and if they do not stand by him
he will take revenge by blowing up the
ship. Mr.. Tetu, the ex-immigration
agent at Emerson, Man., and at pres
ent employed III the Winnipeg immi-
grafton Office has been suspended as
result of the recent testimony taken
before the public accounts committee
alleging that he had forged his ex-as-
sistant's name to some accounts for fic-
titious services
Before the privileges and elections
committee the cross-examination of
Thomas McGreeyy was continued. He
squirms and hedges and equivocates in
his answers at some length. The COM
mittee are wearied with his attempts
to put good face on transactions that
before reasonable men cannot be ex-
planned. McGreevy stated that out Of
the money given him for political pur-
poses he had paid out $4,000 for the
purchase of the LIE Monde newspaper,
Sir Hector's organ. This was in 1884.
He paid the amount at the request of
Messrs. Vanasse and Lessar.

SIR HECTOR RESIGNS.
A Big Sensation In Canadian Politi-
cal Circles.

OTTAWA, Ont, Aug. 1.-THE sud-
den determination of Sir Hector
Langevin, minister of public works, to
resign has caused big sensation here.
His step was completely unexpected.
1t is said that Hon. Thomas McGreevy
would also resign. The resignation Of
Sir Hector Langevin has proved veri-
table bombshell in political circles in
the dominion. 1t was totally unex-
pected at this stage of proceedings,
and is the absorbing topic of conversa-
tion here. At a meeting of the COM.
mittee on privileges and elections to-
day, Sir Hector read long paper in
defense of himself. He said he would
preface it with the statement that he
had resigned in justice to his colleagues
III parliament and the committee. His
statement was very voluminous. He
denied emphaticalIo the truth of all
charges of malfeasance preferred
against him and asserted his innocence
in the most positive manner.
President Shortridge, of the State
Farmers alliance met with the board
of railroad commissioners Saturday
evening and assured them that the Al
lance would cooperate with the COM
missioners in their efforts to enforce
the warehouse law against the elevator
companies. It was decided TO close By
Injunction the first elevator which
opens business without compl lying with
the laws. The board adjourned to meet

say about the Grand Forks Herald
and the $1.00 bushel screening
Governor:
"What kind of paper is the Her
aid anyhow? 1t appears to be twist
ing and misquoting the sentiments
of the license press of the state in
the same deceptive and crooked
fashion in which it is advocating
prohibition. 1t is said that Ex-Gov.
John Miller, who has been described
as a "Cincinnatus returned to the
plow," is trying with the aid of the
Herald and other papers to ride back
into political power in North Da-
kota by means of the Scandinavian
