SEATTLE, WASH, July S, 1890.
DR.. Jordan-Dear Sir: NY little boy
was very, very sick with scarlet fever. I
went to your Office and procured some
Histogenetic Medicine and we commenced
giving him the treatment. He began to
improve from the first, although at the
time We commenced the treatment we did
not expect him to live. In a week he was
all right. / would not use anything but
the Histoge letic Medicines in my family
for all kinds of sickness. / have seen too
many remarkable cures with those medi-
cines, and have also seen the failures
with the old school medicines.
publish this so that others who are
sick may know where to go to be cured.
Respectfully, MRS. GOUPTEL,

MARTINSBURG'S BOOM
ONE OF OR CITIZENS SAYS THEY
ARE TALKING ABOUT IT IN

DR.. g. B. Hedges, who recently ~

find that nearly everyone seemed 10

+" / talked with men,n he continued.

THE HAWAIIANS.
CLAUS SPRECEELS, The SUGAR KING,
SAYS THEY ARE A Dis
COURAGED LOT.


CHICAGO, Nov, 7.-E. N. Spreckels,
en- route to New York to meet his
father, Claus Spreckels, who is to ar
rive from Europe, is in this city. Ha-
waiians are discouraged lot, said Mr..
Spreckels, land they cannot see their
way clear to prosperity in any other
way than by annexation. With the re-
moval of tariff on sugar, and the offer
ing Of two cents per pound for all sugar
produced in the United States. the
island lost the advantage they had over
producers here, in Cuba and in the
Philippine Islands. The trouble is that
labor is dear in the islands. The ma
tives are dying out, and the islands have
to depend on the Chinese, japanese,
Portuguese and labors from other coun-
tries. This years crop Of lac, 900 tons
was the largest ever raised in Hawaii,
although the country ought to produce
great deal more than that. The ad-
vantage over other countries before
the removal Of the tariff and the offer
ing Of the bounty was about two cents
a pound in favor Of the island. The
planters had no duty to pay, and in
return the islands received importa-
tons from only the United States.
While the people regard this govern
ment as the one most friendly to them,
their faith was broken to them in TAX
ing away this advantage, and the OBJ
ject Of King Kalakaua's visit to this
country was to intercede in behalf of
the sugar interests when death over
took him in San Francisco. The way
matters are now the large planters
with improved machinery and labor
saving devices may make 4 little
money, but the smaller planter will
have to give up.
Mr.. Spreckels also said firmly that
the house of Spreckles would never be
coaxed into the Sugar Trust.

New York, Nov. Mrs. Charles
Il. Traitteur suddenly became sick at
her home, No. lis East Twenty-eighth
Street, on October 90. Her husband,
who is employed at the Custom House,
was at his desk at the time. He was
sent for, but Mrs. Traitteur died before
he got home. On Sunday she was
buried.
Soon after returning from the ceme-
terry Mr.. Traitteur went into his wife's
room to get her diamonds and 500
which he knew she had there in small
purse. The diamonds are worth $1,000
He couldn't find them nor the money.
The servants declared they didn't
know anything aboutthe missing prop
erty.
Mr.. Traitteur had a few lodgers in
the house, but he couldn't suspect them
and 50 he reported the loss to Inspector
Brynes, who assigned Detectives Do
Ian and Heidelberg to the case. They
found that Julia Campo, one of the
dodgers, had been in Mrs. Traitteur's
room while she was dying.
He was general in the army of the
republic of Colombia, and had come
from Bogota six or seven months ago,
an accredited commissioner of Column
-bia to the Worlds Fair.
The detectives suspected General
Campo and they rushed their investi-
cations along that theory. Heidelberg
and Dolan searched Campo's room.
Under his bureau they found the purse
in which Mrs. Traitteur had carried
the 500, but it was empty. Mrs.
Traitteur had often carried her dia-
monds within her corsets, and an ex-
animation showed that her dress had
been torn open by the thief when
he was hunting for the jewels 1t is
likely that he found the diamonds
there. He had also ransacked the
bureau drawers, it was probably in one
of these that he found the purse of
money. He was placed under arrest.

1t seemed that she had treated the
inanimate body as an invalid. She
brought fresh food three times day
and placed it by the side of the body,
and then carried away the dishes al
though the invalid had taken nourish,
ment. She never went ont except tc
get food, and never allowed her friend:
or relatives in the city to visit her
She lived entirely alone, and would sit
for hours by the side Of the corpse
talking to it as she did to her mother
while alive. Mrs. Mochel is said To- b
worth about $4,000. She will b

WASHINGTON, November IA tele-
gram from the Japanese government
has to-day been received by Mr..
Tateno, the Japanese Minister, giving
an account Of the earthquake which
occurred in Japan on the 23d Of Octo-
Der. It seems from this authenticated
report that the damage caused by the
earthquake was confined almost en-
tirely to the procedures Of Aichi and
and Gifu, the former Of which is on the
sea, about 40 miles from Toxic, and
the latter Immediately to the West.
Nagoya is the chief city in Aichi pre-
lecture, and has population Of l50,-
600. There are no very large cities in
Gifu prefecture. No mention is made
Of any damage in any other parts Of
Japan. According to the telegram re-
ceived by Mr. Tateno, $500 persons
were killed, 1000 were injured, $4,000
houses were totally destroyed and 12,-
600 were badly damaged.

it dissolved, and Congress refuses to
dissolve. As the President has the
army and navy at his back, he is ex-
pected to win in the struggle, and the
result might be, as he is said to be de-
sirious Of its being, that he become
Dictator. Da Fonseca is military
man, capable and ambitious. He led
the forces which overturned the gov
eminent Of Dom Pedro and is reported
to be in excellent physical condition
after an illness and ready for any
emergencies.
Deodoro da Fonseca is the son Of a
wealthy Portuguese gentleman who re-
moved from Portugal many years ago
and settled on a large estate in Brazil.
He and his two brothers received q
military education, and at the end OF
the war with Paraguay, which was in
the year 1870, Deodoro had earned
rank and distinction by his military
skill and yalor. From that time until
December, 1889, he served in the army
with increasing rank and influence. At
the last date mentioned Gen. da Fon-
SEGA succeeded as leader in the revo-
luton which made Brazil republic.
In 1883 he founded the Military Club
in Rio de Janeiro from which was de-
veloped the movement that overturned
the empire. The Emperor Dom Pedro
was warned Of the danger he ran in
permitting the continuance Of the club,
but he refused to interfere with IT,.
President d. Fonseca isabout 81 years
old.
