Carlsbad Sprudel Salts.

FROM DIR. A. W. ToLAND, TUNIS, TEX.
Editor Courier-Record, Dallas Texas.
Having noticed an advertisement in sew
eral medical journals recently of Carlsbad
Sprudel Salt, l thought to give my expert
ence with this valuable therapeutic agent.
Hoping it will benefit some other poor,
overworked, hillside, saddle-riding, NJ D.,
afflicted as 1 was.
Last summer, il June, while treating a
camp of State conyicts, in which prison
epidemic dysentery was raging, 1 con-
tracted the disease, which eventually as
sumed the chronic form, complicated with
enlargement of spleen and hepatic troubles.
Being always on the go, every remedy tried
failed to relieve me, until saw the adyer-
tisement of Eisner & Mendelson Co., of 6
Barclay street, New York. sent 81 for a
trial bottle (they send out no free trial
bottles), which came promptly to hand
by express. I began taking one teaspoon
ful dissolved in hot water sufficient, adding
after it was dissolved q. S. cold water to
make three-fourths of an ordinary goblet
full, drinking at one dose from one to two
hours before each meal When it was too
active, would take less. The next day I
began to improve, eating as much and what
ever liked. This was about the last of

more, digest my food better, and rest bet

SCOTTISH DRAUGHTS CHAMPIONSHIP.
Dryden AND FERRIE FOR 910O.
CORRESPONDENCE OF THE DIsPATcH.l
A match at draughts commenced in the
New Central Halls told Mitchell Library,
Ingram street, on Saturday, between Will
lam Dryden, of Glasgow, and James Ferrie,
of Coatbridge, for the championship of Scot
land and stake of 91OO. Both players have
long occupied front-rank places as draught
players, and have been very successful in
friendly club matches, this IS the first formal
encounter between the pair. The match is
to be decided by the best of 80 games, wins
and draws to count, and is played on the
restricted" principle, which in this case
means that q different opening will be
formed every second game Punctually at
noon the contestants faced each other. Bry--
den won the toss for choice of pieces, and
elected to play with the white. (Black, it
may be, mentioned, always moves first.) The
opening drawn by lot for the first game was
ths nsvers % the hnSwp bosSt to SaSghb g be
weak for the first player, but both seemed
well versed in the lines they respectively
adopted as first and second player, and in
doned as a draw. The next, which occupied
nearly an hour and q half, was also drawn.
"Bristol" was the next opening balloted.
This is well-known and popular opening,
on which there has perhaps been more "book
play" published than on any other. This fact
nevertheless, Dryden, who was second play
er tumbled into "book" loss in less than 20
minutes; and, equally to the chagrin and
astonishment of his supporters, and possibly
somewhat unneryed by being the first to lose
a game in the MATCH he lost the same OPEN
ing when he was first player in the succeed
ing game. This concluded play for the after
noon.
On resuming in the evening, the 'Double
Corner" was the opening drawn by lot 1t is
reckoned rather weak for the first player.
Despite this, Ferrie soon got a good game on,
so much so indeed that his friends were
quite jubilant at the apparent certainty of
his scoring his third win in succession. But
Dryden was now playing with something
like his reputed form, and, timing every
move correctly, succeeded, amid applause,
in drawing difficult end game. He had now
to take the black pieces in the same opening,
and in the ending had ifanything the easiest
side. There was never, however, any
material advantage with either, and when
the pieces were reduced it was mutually
agreed to abandon the game as draw This
concluded play for the day. the score stand
ing-Ferrie, 2; Dryden, 0: drawn, 4; with "a
gaines to play. The match will beresumed
this forenoon.

and six games: Fifth game-Black men on

CHICAGO, May 15.-Between $4,000, 900
and S5,0O0,000 worth of land on the lake
shore between Fourteenth and Sixteenth
streets, is involved in litigation by bill
filed in the Superior Court at noon to-day.
Emily A Harrington, of Geneva, Ill, is
complainant and the Illinois Central Rail
road Company is the corporation with which
an accounting is sought. Mrs. Harrington
is the widow of Augustus NJ. Harrington, a
capitalist and one time general solicitor of
the Northwestern Company. His father
originally entered the quarter section of
which the land is part, and Justice Her
rington took the title from him.
In 1856 he decided the land to the Illinois
Central, but through some oversight Mrs.
Harrington neglected to join in the transfer.
She claims therefore that she never released
her dover and is suing for her widows in
terest and rentals since 1887. She says the
rental value is $500. 900 per annum.

VIM. Van Houten Badly Injuries His Ankle
and Is Pronounced Incurable by Many
Doctors-EntireIy Cured at the Electrical

VIM. Van Houten is an intelligent HoI-
lander, living at No. 80 Worden street. A
year ago last fall he fell from a roof and
sprained and badly smashed his right ankle.
The injury was very painful one at the
time, but it was not thought to be very seri-
Gus. Time passed on and the sprain proved
very obstinate, defying the best medical
skill in the city. Doctor after doctor was
tried, but without avail. Resort was had to
liniments and all the lotions known for
treatment of this class of ailments, but they
did no good. Mr.. Van Houten became very de-
spondent and concluded that he must remain
a cripple for life. Being poor man having
q large family he felt compelled to work, in
consequence of which he passed night after
night of the most eXcruciating agony. Doing
such work as unloading carloads of wood,
he was compelled to drag his injured foot
after him, there not being strength in his
ankle to support his weight. Last january
his friends began to advise him to go to the
Electrical and Medical Institute, whom they
had heard had made some wonderful cures.
Mr.. Van Houten was skeptical and thought
that all had been done for him that was pos
sible, but on January .. lssi, {leldlng 70 @ me

sentative, Mr.. Van Houten stated that his
ankle was nearly well; that he suffered no
more pain and that they had done wonders
for him. Mr.. Van Houten told the above
story to the Eagle man with a sincere air
that was convincing, and its truth cannot be
doubted. He is naturally very grateful and
urges all sufferers to consult with them. Mr..
Van Houten can be found at the city wood

talked to.-Grand Rapids Eagle.

TALLAHASSEE, FLA, May 15.-There
was disgraceful scene in the Senatorial
caucus last night. On the seventy-seventh
ballot the vote was: Call, 80; Mays, a;
Bloxham, q When the name of Salisbury,
of Citrus county, was called, he sent to the
clerks desk and had read copy of a petit
tion from fernando county, addressed to A.
Mann, Representative from that county,
asking him to vote for Call.
Senator Kirk, of fernando, replied to
Salisbury, and denounced number of
Calls friends, directing his epithets chiefly
at Frank Clarke, of Polk county. Clarke
replied to him, and Kirk, again taking the
floor, called Clarke liar. Clarke jumped
from his seat, rushed at Kirk and dealt him
powerful blow, which sent Kirk sprawl
ing over the press table. He held Kirk
down with his left hand, and was dealing
some hard blows with his right when the
twokwere separated by reporter. Finally
quidt was restored, the rolf call was COM
cluded and the caucus adjourned.

steal of 10000 bushels of wheat from the
elevators at Duluth. Charles d. Patterson,
yardmaster for the Northern Pacific at Du-
luth, testified that the General Agent, A.
W. Hartman, used to tell him to shift in
cars of a certain capacity to be loaded with
wheat at the elevator. Pattison was struck
with the fact that these ears were loaded at
night and watched them. He kept a memo
randum Of these cars and gave dates. He
looked into them when they were loaded
and found that they contained wheat
about 600 bushels to car he should Judge.
These cars were all billed as screenings
"When the deputy inspector came to my
Office and asked for my explanation" said
Pattison, 81 told him l did not know, and
as soon as he went out, telephoned Hart
man and said: You want to let up on that
dirty work of loading cars at night and bill
ing them as screenings" In his cross
examination Pattison said he and Lynch

collusion between the elevator and the
