WHAT is THE GRIP7

This Mysterious and Terrible Disease Care
fully Analysed and Described-what to
Do When 1t Comes.
Nearly every physician. every scientist and
every sufferer has been asking this great
question: What is the grip? Some have as
serted that 1t is a dangerous microbe which
comes into the system. breeds seveyal millions
every second, and soon overruns the body with
disease. Others have said that we are passing
through = region Of star-dust, and that the
minute particles are drawn into the body with
every breath. Whatever it may be. it is certain
that it is something within the body which is
fighting with the body to undermine the life.
What would common sense dictate In such
an emergency? Counterfeit the enemy. Drive
1t from the system. Do not trif1e with it. Act
promptly and wisely at the first approach
which You can readily detect Take something
which can counteract their deadly influence
Spirits of some kind are the best thing TO taRe,
and whiskey is preferable to any other kind of
mind that only pure whlskey will have the
effect, and 1t should also be remembered that
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey stands at the head
of all preparations and is the only medicinal
whiskey upon the market. Scientists have as
serted this, the doctors have verified il, and
millions of people have proven 1t beyond q
doubt There are many INSCRIPTIONS dealers
who will assure you that any whIskey will
answer the purpose, but they are wrong and
cannot afford to take any. chances, therefore
take that which is, beyond question pure
medicinal and the only valuable whiskey upon
the market. M

The Builder of the Whaleback Barge Plans
Big Passenger Steamer.
ESPECIAL rELEoRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.l
CLEVELAND, April 12.-Captain Alex
ander McDougsll, the inventor Of the whale
back barge, has been in this city for several
days consulting with the directors of the
American Steam Barge Company in regard
to the building of "whaleback" steamer to
be used as passenger boat on the lakes.
He has his plans prepared and has submitted
them and is confident they will be approved.
The boat is the same in general outlines as
the freight boats of the McDougall model
and is to be 450 feet long and 30 foot beam.
If built she will be about 30 per cent longer
than any other vessel on the lakes and large
in proportion. She is to have triple screws,
each run by q separate engine, and Nc
Dougall calculates will be able to make %
knots an hour or more. The plans con-
template steel construction, with cabins the
whole length of the ship and accommo-
dations for 800 passengers.
Old lake captains and the shipping public
generally shake their heads and laugh at
the idea as another of McDougall' 8 Dreams"
The probable action of the directors of the
company on this latest proposal of the in
ventor cannot yet be learned.

The Fifth Sand Territory.

In the oleoginous world just at present the
NTH sand horizon Is attracting considerable at
tention. The McCurdy pool has raised high
hopes in the breast of the yenturesome and
festive operator, and they seem inclined to
form continuous belt from McCurdy to the
Mcdonald pool. These pools are separated by
distance of about nine miles but as vet the
Grill has formed no connection. The Wright
well OF the Forest Oil Company coming in dry

theory of a continuous fifth sand pool AS has

between McCurdy and Mcdonald no one has
the toolhardlness to deny. But the amount of

amount to more than the aggregate of fluid

PENNSYLVANIA FINANCES.
The Present System of Handling
Them Is All Wrong.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 4.-The legis.
lative committee appointed to inyesti-
gate the state treasurer's office, met
peared before the committee and teSti-
fed that while he was president of the
Chestnut Street National bank, the
state had a deposit there of 100000.
The deposit mad been entirely unso-
licited. No interest was ever paid on 1t
and no favors had been shown to any
one by reason of it. No contributions
had ever been made by the bank for
campaign purposes.
The governor was asked If he could
suggest any better method than the
present system OF auditing state ac-
counts. In reply, the governor said
that In his opinion the present system
was all wrong. Under it the state treas
urer has absolute control of about IS, 000,-
600, for which the state only has secur-
opinion of Gov. Pattison, the system in
vogue in this city, of all warrants being
countersigned by the city comptroller,
should be adopted by the state.
Gov. Pattison also said that he
thought the system ofsdepositing state
money was wrong. Security should
be required by the state for the money
deposited, about sl25,O0O for every $780,
600 being, in the governors opinion,
about the right amount. The most per-
feet safeguard, In the opinion of Gov.
Pattison, for security to the state against
loss is the system employed by the fed
eral government.
After hearing the testimony Of sew
eral cashiers of banks which were
active state depositarles that they had
not paid interest OH the state deposits.
or had any favor or consideration been
shown in return for the deposit, the
committee adjourned until tomorrow.

NEARING THE CLIMAX.
Hayti's President Preparing for
the Coming Storm

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-The Norwegian
steamer Alert arrived here this morn
ing from Port Depaix and Cape Hay
tien. both of which ports she left Aug.
81, and reported that climax in Hayti's
disturbed affairs would undoubtedly be
reached very soon. News of the return
to the Haytien cape of the exiles from
Kingston was being industriously cir
culated in the other large cities of
the republic, and the. forts guard
ing the approaches to the cities
were being strongly garrisoned, espe-
cialIy at Port au Prince, and orders
were issued by President Hyppolyte
that, if the exiles returned to the city
and made a successful attack on the
palace, the guns were to be turned on
the city. The palace is strongly
guarded.
So strong is the belief that a revolu-
ton will soon break out in Hayti that
many of the foreign residents have
sending their families away. On
Hyppolyte's was leaving Port
au Prince for Cape Haytien.
Hyppolyte is said to have lost confidence
in the strength OF his followers and is
preparing to follow his family to Cape
Hayden at the first news of the APP
prOach of the insurrectionists. Gen. lie
Blot resides at this place, and at his
home Hyppolyte VIII make his head
quarters. From what is learned of the
inSurrectiouists, they are still at Kings
ton, Jamaica, actively preparing, it is
said, to leave that place to make a
descent on the Haytian capital.

SALTWATER, MIMI, Sept. 4.-For
more than week Judge Lehmcke, of
the probate court. has been buslly en-
gagged deciding points of law in adjust
ing the estate of Martin Mower, de-
ceased. Mr.. Mower was for several
years prior to his death heavy stock
holder i'll the st. CrolX boom corpora
ton, and was also president of the con-
Germ. His death occurred little more
than year ago, and shortly afterward
it was rumored that there was a shortage
in Mr. Mowers accounts with the boom
corporation. Experts were employed
to examine the books OF the secretary
and treasurer, and shortage of S26.-
TOLLS was found in all. 1t appears that
at a meeting of the stockholders and
directors of the boom corporation in
April, 1889, Mr.. Mower was entrusted
with the position of collecting all
moneys due the concern and paying all
of It's liabilities. After so doing he was
further instructed to retain $4,000
with which to pay claims that might
arise, and to declare a dividend
of all of the money left over.
The st. CrolX boom corporation is now
endeavoring to recover from the estate
the sum of $26, TOLLS, which is shown to
be due the company on the books. The
claim has been presented III the probate
court, and the executors of the estate
object to its being allowed on points of
law. The claim is brought against the
estate of Martin Mower, as he was the
one responsible for the affairs of the
boom corporation when the shortage oc-
Cured. The case will probably be
taken to the supreme court.

The British Premier Has Been
Aroused From His Indif-
ference.
An Early Demonstration by
Great Britain Is Consid-
cred Probable.j
France Will Sustain Russia
and Turkey in the New
Agreement.
The Peace Of Europe Is About
as Certain as a Shifty
Wind.

LONDON, Sept. 4.-The semi. official
statement which the porte issued yes
terday in regard to the agreement with
Russia touching the passage of the
Russian volunteer fleet through the
Dardanelles, is quickening the British
foreign Office in its efforts to obtain con-
certed action OH the part of the treaty
powers in demanding full explanation
from the porte. Within two days Lord
Salisbury's attitude appears to have
changed from one of pretended indiffer-
ence into one of keen diplomatic ac-
tivity. From Chateau Creil, where he
still resides, he has woke up the officials
of the foreign department here, through
whom night and day cipher dispatches
pass in a stream to and from the Eu-
ropean capitals. A high official Of the
department who was recently of the
opinion that
The Moscow Incident
would not affect the existing relations
between Great Britain and Turkey now
takes the view that the Russo-Turkish
agreement will make necessary an early
demonstration on the part of Great
Britain, even If she has to act
alone. The Portes' statement is
evidently intended to cover Turkeys re-
sponsibility in the event of the expected
combined representation of the powers.
Lord Salisbury's position, as it is under
stood to have been communicated to the
powers,is that the Russo-rurkisb agree
ment is an evasion of the treaty of Paris.
Turkey could not assent to an open and
fragrant violation of the treaty
by giving Russia the right to
send war ships through the
straits, but since makes concessions
that amount 10 the same privilege in
permitting the passage through the
DardanelleS of volunteer fleet equipped
with guns and filled with soldiers.
Whether the developments of diplomacy
i'll this case be slow or otherwise. British
intervention ultimately appears to be
inevitable.
Frances Position.
The Paris Temps distinctly Indicates
that the French government intends to
support the sultan's right to enter into
a special contract with Russia out
side of the articles of tee treaty.
With the straits trouble is directly
involved the question of Egypt. Moukh-
tar Pasha, the Porte's commissioner in
Cairo, has renewed his demand through
the khedive for the evacuation of
Egypt by the British. Cairo advices
state that if this demand Is refused
Moukhtar Pasha will ask the sultan to
recall him and to leave the post vacant
as protest against the khedive's con-
tumacy towards the suzerain. The
British ambassador at Constantinople,
Sir William White, is on the worst pos
sible terms with the sultan, who has re-
peatedly made excuses to avoid seeing
him and the report was that Sir William
is about to be replaced.

New YORK, Sept. 4.-Gov. and Mrs.
Campbell, of Ohio, arrived in this city
last night and are now at the Fifth Ave
nue. hotel, where the governor is resting
from the fatigue of his journey, prepar-
tory to trip to the seashore. Although,
on the orders of his physician, he was
not allowed to leave his room, steady
stream of callers poured in on him all
the morning, most Of whom he received.
In an interview this morning he said:
"My sole object in coming East was for
the purpose OF going to the sea shore to
rid myself of a severe attack of malaria,
which has affected my entire system.
Until started on this trip l was con-
fined in my room for three weeks, and
have thus far been unable to take any
part in the campaign. | will, however,
open my campaign Sept. II. The lead
ing feature of the campaign will
be the tariff, which is generally
recognized as an oppressive measure.
The fact that crops are good and that the
farmers will get good prices for them
which has been heralded by the Repub-
lican papers as favorable to Republican
success is An argument that will be used
against them this year. 'For several
years the Ohio farmers have been In
the depth of dependency; their crops
have failed and prices were poor. This
years crops are abundant and prices
good, but they are we'll aware that this
has not been brought about by
the tariff bill by the general
failure of crops in Europe. The home
market has not been factor in the in
crease of prices, anditis so apparent that
the farmers can easily see through it.
The Democracy is making an aggressive
fight in Ohio this year and the outlook
is very favorable" In regard to the at
titude of the party in Hamilton county,
the governor expressed the opinion that
they would come around before election
time and support the ticket heartily.
New YORK, Sept. 4.-Secretary Fos-
ter was interviewed to-day and asked
about the campaign IN Ohio. He pre-
dicted $4,000 majority for Mckinley.

NASHVILLE, Sept. 4,-"You are an
Infamous liar" came the hot retort in
the senate chamber this morning, and
Immediately the sergeant-at-arms was
called to prevent personal COM
bat between two senators, almost in
front of the chairman's stand. The gavel
smote upon the marble slab, order was
restored, and the two belligerents, SEN
ators Alexander and Riley, after re-
fleeing little, were sorry that the
scene had been created, both made con-
cessions, apologized to the senate and
to each other, and like brave men,
made friends. The trouble arose
in debate over resolu-
ton brought by Mr.. Alexander.
providing that reward be offered for
the apprehension and conviction of
Messrs. Irish, Ingraham, Merrill and
Hamaker, the committee from the in
surgent-miners of Briceville, on the
ground that they had melted lawless-
ness and rebellion against the authority
of the state.
This exciting episode served to divert
attention from the other proceedings of
the session to some extent and the
house resolution appointing a commit
tee to investigate the alleged incendiary
conduct of Commissioner of Labor
Ford and Representative Alleman,
and the house resolution declaring the
general assembly powerless TO abrogate
the lease, were adopted, the latter with
an amendment, without creating rip
pie. Under other circumstances fiery
debate would no doubt have been called
forth by both measures.
The most important measure in the
house this morning was the passage, on
third reading, of bill that will save to
the state something like 100000 year
and do away with professional wit
nesses. 1t came from the committee
recommended for rejection, and when
they secured its passage Speaker Meyers
and Hon. w. l.. Ledgerwood scored a
signal victory.
