The Cure Was Fatal.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. ga peculiar ac-
cident to farm hand named Jordan, / ear
New Corner, is reported. 1t was his habit
on retiring at night to throw himself
full length on the bed, thereby enjoying
what he called IA "cradle rocking" as the
bed sagged and rocked under his weight.
The farmer tried to break Jordan of this
habit, and finally he concealed stick of
wood under the sheet. Jordan failed to
see the stick and he made the usual leap,
striking on his back with such force as to
fracture his spinal column

THE KELLEY INSTITUTE
Twelve Years of Established Merit
NOTE OF
TO THE

DWIGHT, Ill, April 80, 1892.
AS a matter of justice to ourselves and to
the reputation of DR.. Leslie E. Keeley's
Double Chloride of Gold remedies, for the
cure of the liquor, opium, morphine and
tobacco diseases and Neurasthenia, we warn
the public that these remedies are used by
no institution or sanitarium in the United
States except those established by ouI COM
pany under the uniform name of "The
Kelley Institute"
All others claiming to use our remedies
are frauds and imposters.
We have now sixty Kelley Institutes es-
tablished in various parts of the United
States where tie Kelley treatment is ad-
ministered and the Kelley remedies sold.
We, however, caution all to examine well
and know that they are dealing with genuine
representatives, authorized by us, before
taking the treatment or purchasing remedies.
The fraudulent establishments use the name
of "Bi-Chloride of Cold" or similar titles.
The newspapers do not discriminate suffi-
GENTLY to know that they are imitators, and
so put down all accidents occurring at such
establishments as being brought about by
the Kelley treatment. This is a matter of
much concern to us, hence this warning.
Respectfully yours,
THE LESLIE f. KELLEY co.
Curtis j. Judd, Sec'y and Treas.
The Kelley institute at Greensboro, n. c.,
is the only one in the state, and all repre-.
sensations that there is in the state any cure
that is identical with, or the same as, the
Kelley Double Chloride of Gold Cure are
malicious, false, and made for the purpose of
deceiving. We learn with indignant regret
that such claim is being made, and feeling
that if it be hurtful to us it will prove more
disastrous to those who are deceived thereby,
we sound this warning.

4 Cure for Snake Bite.

Another treatment for snake bite is
added to the long list of remedies that
have come from many countries. 1t is
said that the natives of Australia have
comparatively little fear Of snake bites.
They keep always at hand a piece of
string made of human hair. The string
is tied tightly three or four inches above
the bite, a small circle an eighth of an
inch deep is cut around the two fang
punrtures with a knife, and the largest
vein below the bite is slit to allow the
blood to run out. The last stage of this
heroic treatment is the turning on of a
stream of water to the affected part and
the rubbing down steadily of the limb
for about twenty minutes -Pittsburg

A GAMBLER STARTS A CHURCH
A True Incident of Life In Creole Mining
Camp.

Camp.
Creole Camp, Colo, is at present
perfect whirlpool of excitement.
Rich mines are being discovered every
day, and the town is full o. gamblers
reaping a rich harvest. Each day
brings in a hundred people, among
them the very good and the very bad.
On one side OF a narrow street Is a
richly furnished saloon, and across
the narrow street is an undertaking
establishment, each displaying a far
ing sign. Usually no regard Is paid
to the Sabbath, and in the wild rush
there are few thoughts OF the spirit
ual
But the champions of Christianity
are ever watchful, and representa-
tive Of the Christian religion is usu-
ally among the first TO be on the
ground. Soon after the rush to
Creole began, Methodist minister
went in with the crowd one day, and
the first man to whom he mentioned
the matter of desiring to build a
church was Browney Lee, noted
San Juan gambler. AS rule, the
fraternity are enthusiastic over any
thing new and are generous TO
fault
Browney invited the preacher to go
over to Watrous' saloon with him,
and he led the way. On entering the
room. in which at least a hundred
men were congregated, drinking at
| the bar or crowded about a dozen faro
| or keno tables, "bucking the tiger,
Browney jumped upon a chair and
said: Boys, here is preacher and
he wants to preach. Now, you fell
lows let up for while and let this
man have the floor.
1t was Sunday, and it was doubt
! full If those in the saloon had thought
OF it before. Instantly there was a
hush. The minister's champion then
went to the rear of the room, where
a platform had been erected for a
keno case, and he called the caller
down and the preacher was told to
step up. He did so, and gave them
an off-handed talk in true Western
style.
Strict attention was paid, and when
he had finished, the immense room,
which was 30xS0 feet in size, was
filled. The preacher said that he
wanted to build church in the camp,
and told them that he would solicit
subscriptions,
Browney got up and said that he
knew the boys we'll, and he WOULD
commence right there by passing the
hat. He began, and the fellows be
gan dropping quarters and halves.
The gambler swore, and said: d
st, boys, put in bills. Coins don't g
in this hat"
He collected about 800, but did no
seem satisfied with the amount. Ill
told the preacher to go and he woult
attend to 1t farther. The game
were reopened and the gambling
went on. Browney took the $50 ant
bought chips with it and sat at far
table. He played about an hour an
hauled out over 800 and then hunte,
up the preacher and gave him tn
winning as a starter for the church.
