A WONDER WORKER.

Mr.. Frank HUFFMAN, young man OF
Burlington, Ohio, states that he had eer
under the care of two prominent phys
clans, and used their treatment until
was not able to get around. They pro-
nounced his case to be consumption and
incurable. He was persuaded to try DR..
Kings New Medical Discovery for con-
sumption, coughs and colds and at that
time was not able to walk across the
street without resting. He found before
he had used half of a dollar bottle, that he
and is today enjoying good health. II

trouble, secure a bottle at once and give

JUST ABOUT READY.
The YIaduct VIII be Turned over I
the CITY at the Next Council
Meeting,

The mayor and members of the city
council were out in a body yesterday TAX
ing a look at the viaduct. The work is
all completed with the exception of plac-
ing a rod here and there to strengthen the
hand rail on the outside walk. The via
duct will be accepted at the next council
meeting.
The color the viaduct is painted is much
admired and will prove more agreeable to
the eye than the customary railroad pants
that are generally used for viaducts and
bridges. A hand rail will be placed along
the sides Of the stone approach to prevent
anyone from falling or driving over the
side.
The street cars will commence running
to the South Side as soon as the yiaduct
IS in the possession of the city. The rails
were laid connecting the last track on the
bridge with the city system so as to be
ready for use at a moments notice.

The boundary line between the United

North America once more threatens to
become the subject of international dis

century ago "Fifty-four Forty or Fight"
was a campaign cry, and the coming
controversy begins at that line, from
which President Polk retreated, the once
northern boundary of Oregon territory
being the southern boundary of our ter
ritory of Alaska. The discussion of the
ownership of Revillagigedo, Pearse and
Wales islands, and of the line of the
