narrowly escaped one of the severest
attacks of pneumonia, while in the
northern part of that state during
recent blizzard, says the Saturday

and was SO thoroughly chilled that
he was unable to get warm, and in
side of an hour after his return he
was threatened with a severe case of
pneumonia or lung fever. Mr.. Blaize
sent to the nearest drug store and
got bottle of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, of which he had often heard,
and took a number of large doses.
He says the effect was wonderful,
and that in "a short time he was
breathing quite easily. He kept on
taking the medicine, and the next
day was able to go to Des Moines.

wonderful. Fifty cent bottles for

They do not propose to invade Cube
until the independent movement
there takes definite shape and they
are asked to aid in the war.
They do not intend to send expedi-
tions without a complete under
standing with the veterans of past
revolutions and with the people ON
the island. They count upon the
sympathy of Spanish Americans and
of the liberty-loving inhabitants of
this country. They believe that Porto
Rico will rise at the same time in re-
bellion.
Not until the different communi-
ties have given their assent will war
break out. Meanwhile the leaders,
who are in direct communication
with every patriot inside and out
side the islands, are organizing, res
pecting, nevertheless, international
laws. Cuban clubs are accommodating
funds, without which the war would
be a failure, and are working secret ly
to combine all the elements for the
final effort.
In Key West, which has 1900
Cubans, there are forty clubs com
posed of rich and poor, young and
old, men and women. In Talpa
there are eight, in New York eight
in Jamaica five and in Philadelphia
two.
The treasurer of the party is Ben

since he was a boy, and is the vice
president of the oldest club in this
city, Los Independence. When
the island gives the word the Cubans
here will respond.
