All patriotic Americans will rejoice in the
announcement that the Canadian govern
ment has adjusted canal tolls so that yes
sells from the United States will have pre-
c.sely the same privileges in the Wellsnd
canal that Canadian vessels have, for it is a
marked diplomatic triumph for the admin
istration at Washington. la view of the
fact that the Canadian government had
been discriminating against American yes
sells by paying rebate OF certain tolls to
Canadian vessels only, President Harrison
issued proclamation terminating the nego-
tiation5 for reciprocity, and also preventing
Canadian freights from passing in bond over
our railroads. This step had the desired
effect as is shown by tho REIMBURSEMENT of
canal tolls. Our Canadian cousins will
come to understand sooner or later that
Uncle Sam intends to have his just rights.

The Late Nathan CIeaves.

The following action was taken by the
trustees of the Westbrook Trust Com
pany at their regular monthly meeting
On Wednesday:
Died September 5, 1892, our associate
Nathan Cleaves. ~
We testify to his sound legal and bust
ness judgemnt, to his sterling integrity,
and to his peculiar charm of manner,
which made him friends in continually
broadening circle and smoothed the
rough places of life for all about him.
Hewa one of the very earliest to be
interested in the establishment of this
company and was trustee from the
first. To his wise advice and assistance
is due in great measure whatever Of sue
cess it has attained.
In his death we lose a valued friend
and associate and the stockholders and
depositors safe administrator. We de-
sire to convey to his Immediate relatives
and friends our deep sense of this great
personal loss, and to extend to them our
heartfelt sympathy in their greater sor-
row.
We instruct the secretary to inscribe
these our sentiments, on the records and
to send copy to. his brother, Hon.
Henry B. Cleaves.

IN A RUNAWAY ELEVATOR.

Nine Persons Inside, and the Thing
Racing Up and Down the Shaft.
Just before noon two of the elevators
in the Commerce building stopped run
ming, the one nearest to the front door
alone remaining in operation. The ele.
vators are worked by hydraulic power,
and the force required to work them
was thus thrown on one. 1t was on an
up trip that eight men crowded into the
elevator. Two of them were Mr.. Tom
Craig and Mr.. Donald Ross. The door
was closed with a bang, and the boy
pulled the lever for the ascent. In a
second the throttle, as it were, was wide
open. The elevator seemed travelling at
the rate of sixty miles an hour, and APP
peared every second to be getting on
more steam.
The elevator boy worked manfully at
the lever and used every means to stop
the "lift," but the machine refused to
take hold, and the wild career upward
continued. Suddenly the cage stopped
with jolt, and the elevator started
down at the same killing pace it had
been going upward. Down two stories
it dropped, and then as suddenly began
ascending again. By this time all on
board wished they were somewhere else.
They looked wildly out on the polished
floors, where safety was, and for the
first time realized what prison run
away elevator is.
Though the boy at the lever exhausted
every resource of his art, now resorting
to skill and now to strength, the move
ments of the elevator became more and
more eccentric.
1t went up twenty feet and fell ten.
The men thought they might have led
better lives.
It went up thirty feet and fell fifteen.
The elevator boy thought of some mean
things he had done.
1t went up ten feet and fell twenty.
All resolved that if they got out alive
they would walk straight and narrow
paths for the rest of their lives.
It went up fifteen feet and fell thirty.
and then it dashed with deadly speed to-
ward the roof, and all the sins that the
eight Gagged men and the one Gagged boy
had ever done rushed before them like
a host of devils. But it stopped just in
time, and once more reversed brakes
1t stopped with cruel jolts now and
then, but always between the floors,
leaving those on board still Gagged in by
wire walls. Time and again it seemed
certain that it would halt at one of the
floors. But it did not, and hope died
again.
Finally, after what seemed an eternity
of torture, the elevator did stop two feet
below one Of the doors. Mr.. Craig was
closest to the exit, and hastily throwing
back the door he leaped forward and
out. just as he did SO the machine shot
upward, and it was only by a hair
breadth that he escaped being crushed
and almost certainly killed.
After his escape the elevator continued
to perform for a minute and then once
more became obedient. The seven men
and the boy got out as quickly as posi-
BILE. All were very thankful. The ele-
vator was examined and found to be in
good working order. The elevator boy
got on board and tried it for q floor or
two, and returning pronounced every
thing all right. The elevator never did
this before. louisville Courier-J Journal.

ROYAL Extravaganza.

Potentates are apt to be very extrav-
agant persons, and seem to have as
hard time living within their allow
ances as any small boy on five cents a
week. Of course they have tremendous
expenses to meet in the way of enter
tanning other potentates, and no king
ever lived who failed to have royal
family big enough to fill all the palaces
at his disposal and two more, but often
they could look after their own and
still have plenty left for pleasure if they
Of royal extravaganza in modern times
are the king of Slams submerged palace
and the pipe Of the shah of Persia.
The cost of the Siamese kings palace
is not known, but it is asplendidly costly
affair and is so arranged that his royal
highness and his suite can spend great
deal of their time under water sur
roundedlby the most luxurious things
the world affords. 1t would seem as
though king with so much splendor at
his command on the surface of the earth
could get along without a palace under
water, but as a popular song says,
s'Things are seldom what they seem,"
and it is the greatest danger of great
luxury that we tire of the blessings we
have and become, even in the midst of
them, most unhappy because we can
have no more.
The shah of Persia's tobacco pipe is
worth $500, 900, and the chances are that
he does not get half the pleasure from
smoking it that the poor laboring man
gets from putting his one cent clay pipe.
When one reflects upon the amount of
good that could be done with 100000
put out at fair interest, one is forced to
consider it wicked to keep SO much
money locked up in SO unworthy sa OBJ

knowledge is Born of Many

The Kickapoo Indians. who make
Kickapoo Indian Sagwa, natures grand
tonic and blood purifier, and other Kick
apoo Indian remedies, are the oldest tribe
extant. When Columbus discovered
America they occupied the territory
about where the state of Georgia is now
located.
Today, driven back step by step, they
are found mostly in Texas, New Mexico,
and Arizona, but their traditions have re-
manned intact and the secret of COM
pounding their remedies is known only
to themselves and to one a0hite man,
adopted into the tribe, and through
whom they became known to the white
people.
Kickapoo Indian Sagwa is their prin-
cipal remedy and upon it they depend
for the curing of all troubles of the
stomach and liver, thereby purifying the
blood. 1t is the king among their medi-
cines and their principal reliance for
warding off malarial infections and all
troubles arising from exposure and fire.
quent changes.
Its absolute and, by the nature of the
Indian and his lack of knowledge of
drugs and poisons, compulsory freedom
from all mineral ingredients or drugs IN
dny form, makes it the ideal tonic and
blood-purifer that cannot possibly leave
behind the after effects so common to
many extensively advertised nostrums
