Irlends OF temperance have to contend il the
cheap VIM Skey decoction7 and miserable rum
MIXTURES by winch the market Is flooded
under the guise of Bitters. Sarsaparillasi
'Glngers, and other patent medicines. The
enormous consumption of such miserabie

by implanttng the taste for liquors where IL
never would exist otherwise. This most in

from Harmful Effects, no matter how much

remedy, but in this case deem it nv duty to
commend that Grand Remedy of the Indian
race, 'Rickapoo Indian Sagwa.'
" | speak from exDerience for IL has stood
me in good stead. When half sick worn out,
and my most rebellious stomach refused to

mken OCCASION also to learn something about

and that its manufacture is still carried on by
modern methods exactly in accordance with

simple Roots, Banks, Leaves and Flowers
from the Forest are all that enter into its

gained from its use is not the false strength
of the rum bottle but the Noble Exhilaration
OF Bounding Health, and the Purified Blood,
eleansed of its poison, coursing through every
vein and Artery OF the Human system"
This and more did Mr.. Frost have to say in
regard to "Kickapoo Indian Sagwa." Words
fail to convey the earnest force of his re-
marks as expressed 10 the writer Mr.. Frost
still pursues with undated vigor the noble
cause in which he has enlisted, and says that
temperance was never making such vast
Roadway as 1t is today.

the ReCufItAebs
William Scanlon, aged 10, for five years
messenger for Lee Higginson & Co., bank
ers, is under arrest, charged with stealing
$50, 600 in sugar certificates from the firm.
After securing the certificates, which were
not negotiable, Scanlon forged an order in
the FIRMS name on Boston bank to de-
liver to bearer certain shares of Atchison
stock, placed as collateral, and take in eX-
change Sugar trust certificates. This the
bank did.
The whole transaction was brought to
light by Scanlon's attempt to dispose of
the Atchison securities. He said he was
acting for man by the name of Clark,
and received for one block of the stock
$500.
A day or two later the brokers received
by express Atchison securities of par
value of S25, 900 with a request that the
proceeds be sent TO C. c. Clark of Natick
by check. The brokers saw something
suspicious in the manner of negotiation,
and investigation proved that Mr.. Clark
could not be found, and the ScanlOn boy,
who represented himself as c. c. Clark, jr.,
was arrested

THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
To Cross the Atlantic in Five
Days.
The Ocean GreyhOunds Now Being
Constructed,

AhN Octhh NEey nOunuh NOW HelnR
Constructed.
The Vulcan Shipbuilding company of
Stettin have contracted to build for the
HamburC-American Packet company. a
twin screw steamship which is to make a
guaranteed speed of % knots an hour on
the entire voyage. If this speed can be
obtained it will surpass all present records
and reduce the time of voyage across the
broad Atlantic to five days. The new steam
ship will be the largest ever constructed
and will be of the same length as the Gu
nard liner Campania now in course of con
struction, but of much heavier build, or. in
other words, of greater tonnage. The new
steamship will be of 24,000 horse power.
The length will be 625 feet. The lines of
the new vessel have been kept a secret.
| Some of the officials of the company claim
that they will be much finer than those of
the Teutonic, besides having room for much
more powerful engines.
The present record is held by the Inman
liner City of Paris, which made the remark
able time last September of five DAYS, Ia
hours and "a minutes, and an average speed
of 20.71 knots per hour. The best daily
run was $50 miles, two miles more than
were made by the White Star steamship
Ieutonic on her best daily run.
1t is quite probable that the two Cunard
steamers, the Campania and Lucana, now
being built on the Clyde, will be able tc
compete with the new Hamburg American
steamer. The lines of the new steamers
will be unusually fine, resembling those OF
yacht more than steamship. Each OF
the steamers will be of 13, 900 tons register
having two pole masts. The smokestacks
will be 26 feet in diameter each, and there
will be two on each steamer. The engines
of the Campania are already in place anc
are considered by experts to be the mos
magnificent specimens of marine engine;
ever constructed. The steamers being twir
screws, will be provided with two sets Of
engines, each fitted with five cylinders
There will be two high PRESSURE one in
termedate and two low pressure, which are
expected to develop %, 900 horse power
The Cunard managers claim that the Cam
pania steamer will be the fastest steamer
! atlOat.

The Panama Canal.

sIS5.OOO,O 900 Missing----The French
Government to Prosecute VI. DeLes-
seps and His Colleagues.
The amount of swindlng connected with
the building of the Panama canal-so far
as it has been built--must have been enor-
nous. Bonds to the value of $500, 900, 900
were issued, which were sold for S265, 000,-
600. Conservative experts, like Consul
General Adamson at Panama, have esti-
mated that not more than $50, 900, 900 was
expended in plant, buildings and honest
work. The balance represents waste. 1t
is not probable that one-half of it ever
reached the isthmus. The record is a most
appalling one. Justice to the shareholders
requires a rigorous investigation of the
management of the canal at every stage.
The French government after waiting for
a long period to ascertain if the company
would be able to resume work at the 18TH
mus and to command public confidence,
has now taken measures to redress the
wrongs of the credulous investors, and
NJ. DeLesseps and his colleagues are to be
prosecuted for swndling. NJ. Eiffel, the
builder of the famous tower, is one of those
implicated in the scandal. NJ. DeLesseps,
who won the title of the Grand Frenchman
ny oullullS the OueH Canal, is o. years Olu,
and is breaking down rapidly.
What bearing these prosecutions will
have upon the future of the enterprise it is
perhaps premature to consider. The Col
ombian government, under the conditions
of the extension negotiated by Lieut.. Wyse
will have power to take possession of the
property of the bankrupt company next
February if work is not resumed with cap
ital adequate for completing the canal.
The canal cannot be completed for less
than $100,00O,000, and prosecutions will
necessarily block the raising of a new loan
of the magnitude required for finishing the
work
