killing an Elephant.

BY careful maneuvering, we had sur.
rounded the elephant, and he finally turned
at bay upon rocky place where there
were few small trees. He was monster,
and it was plain he meant to make saw
age fight. l was for putting a ball into
him without delay, but Bongo counseled
against 1t, saying the report OF the gun
might bring the Obbos down upon US to
carry away the game.
Bongo was on foot, and he carried a
keen, heavy sword, with which he pro-
posed to dispatch the great beast. How
he was to accomplish this was something
i could not understand, but he directed
me to take position where ] could wit
ness every movement.
Bongo then hid himself behind some
rocks, having first made signal to Tin
. jal, who was mounted on fine tempered,
fiery little black mare. Zinjal was quite
unarmed, but he did not hesitate to ride
directly toward the waiting elephant, and
the huge animal instantly faced him,
prepared for rush.
The mare was admirably trained, and
she slowly moved toward the colossus,
apparently understanding just what was
required of her and just how perilous her
situation was. She advanced until within
10 yards of the waiting monster, and
then, all of sudden, wild cry came
from Zinjal's throat. At that instant, the
elephant charged.
l thought horse and rider would be
crushed, but the little mare leaped away
like a fash, and Zinjal clung leechlike to
her bare back while, uttering mad cries,
the elephant pursued. His trunk was
suspended in the air almost over Zinjal's 8
head, and his Jaws were wide open. A
light that was perfectly lendish showed in
bis small black eyes.
Zinjals horsemanship was superb, as he
managed to keep just out of the ele-
plants reach, thus Turing the doomed
monster on. Straight past the rocks
where Bongo lay concealed flashed the
horse, and | saw the black, muscular fig
ure of the hunter gathered for the leap, the
hilt OF the heavy sword grasped in both
hands.
AS the elephant passed, Bongo sprang
out, his weapon Kissing through the air,
it's keen edge striking the monsters leg
about foot from the ground, sinking
through flesh and tendon to the bone
In a moment, the charge OF the elephant
was checked, for one foot was quite use
less. 1t wheeled to get at Bongo, but the
man with the sword had vanished amid
the rocks. Then Zinjal sent the mare al
most under the elephants nose, attract
ing the monsters attention long enough
for Bongo to dart out and deliver blow
at the other leg.
It was q death stroke, for the main ar
terry was severed and the blood spurtod
forth. AS n mighty tree, a monarch Il
the forest, falls crashing TO earth, so fell
the elephant and lay helpless. Within 80
minutes, the creature had bled TO death,
his end seeming to come painlessly.

A TALK ON CATARRH.

alarm mas become so COM
mon that it has attracted the at
tention OF all specialists and all
medical men
1t is generally considered that
all persons over twenty ono years
old are suffering from Catarrh.
1t is also known that few. If any,
OF the general practitioners of
medicine are prepared to treat
this disease with any degree Of
success This arises from the
fact that in the medical colleges
there is little or no instructions
on this disease. and few of
the medical students care to hear
what is taught Therefore, the
person suffering from Catarrh,
must either 60 to the large cities
and put himself under treatment
OF some specialist for many
months, or accept some OF the
many nostrums that are put on
the market as "Catarrh Cures.
In the first place, very few are
able to take the treatment of
specialists at the enormous prices
they charge, and not one of the
nostrums sold at drug stores as
cures, will do more than palate
the disease. Realizing this con
dition for some years, we have
given Catarrh special study, and
now beg to announce that we have
perfected a system OF cure, that
if used as directed, will not fail
to make a permanent and sound
cure
CATARKIl.
BY the word Catarrh medical
men mean an inflammation of the
mucous membrane. Now mucous
membrane is the lining that lines
the mouth, nose, throat, windpipe.
stomach, bowels, bladder etc, so
using the word Catarrh in the
broad sense, we might mean Ca
tarrh of the nose, throlt, stomach
etc But in speaking OF Catarrh
people generally understand us
to mean a disease OF the mucous
membrane lining the cavities Of
the nose and throat, and the Gus
tachian tube leading to the cars.
How do you know that you
have Catarrh' You find you can
not breathe well, or your your ears
ring, or your head become stuffed
up, when you lay down you find
that one Of your nostrils becomes
stopped up and you feel all out
Of sorts, generally. In fact you
don't know what ails you. You
call in your family physician.
He prescribes-all to no avail.
Then you get to reading some
patent medicine advertisement
and you hrd out what ails you.
You try patent medicine and
generally get your first relief but
it is not permanent The reason
that you have not been cured is
because each case requires special
treatment
DO not put off for another day

Of some good specialist at once.

"a uIsrrR's rHnrArrxrD REVOLUTION.

1 ULSrER's THREATENED REVOLUTION.
Gen Hamley, one of the most conspicu-
Gus officers in the British army and q
close friend OF numerous high officers,
has stirred the liberals by writing for the
Pail Mall Gazette, an article in defense
OF the most rabid contentious of the
Ulster loyalists. He says that British
troops would be justified morally and le-
gally in refusing 10 suppress the revolt
in Ulster if the insurgents should be
lighting that they might remain citizens
of the United Kingdom. No act of parlia-
ment, he argues, can force citizens of the
United Kingdom to transfer their allegi-
anee.
WOULD CRY FOR VENGEANCE.
The people OF Great Britain, he thinks,
although not following closely the the
oretical discussion of the legal question,
would cry for vengeance the moment they
shouldlsee the loyal Ulstermcn shot down
by troops. In closing, Gen Hamley pays
his respects to the home rulers:
There is no need to excite the nations
sympathy for the Ulster loyalists by
pointing 10 the ignoble crew in Difference
to whom this crime (of home rule) has
been committed Perhaps in the ardent
desire which will be felt TO inaict penal
ties on the men mainly responsible 1t may
be discovered that the law can reach
those who even by parliamentary methods
haye conspired TO ALLEVIATE a large part of
the United Kingdom"

RUNS ON KANSAS CITY BANKS.
All the Institutions Meet the Crisis
without a Crash.

Kansas City, Mo, July l5.-The failure
Of the Bank of Kansas City yesterday
precipitated runs on three-fourths of the
largest banks in the city to-day, and Del
aware and Ninth streets, the bank streets,
were thronged as they have not been in
years. Crowds were on every corner,
and before and around every large
bank. At 10 O'Clock there were
two long double rows of depositors
in the Metropolitan and Missouri
National banks The New York Life
building in which they are located, was
thronged. The Metropolitan had two
paying tellers at work, and the Missouri
National had three. All the banks paid
out money fast, but the greatest excite
ment was about the Bank of Commerce,
the two named just a bove, and the First
National The Bank of Commerce had
three stalwart policemen before its door
and none except those who had
business with the bank were al
lowed to enter. There had been
rumors about the bank, which has q
paid up capital of S2000,0 600, for some
time. and last night the stockholders,
realizing that the bank was in danger,
owing 10 the excitement, signed a pledge
passing their estates into the banks
assets. The sum total was about s. 600,
600. At noon confidence had been in a
large measure restored and the runs
were stopped, except the one on the Mis-
souri, National, which continued slowly.
Unless some bank fails the crisis for the
immediate present is passed

A TRAIN WRECK IN SPAIN.
Six Persons Killed and Thirty Serious
lY Iniured.

Madrid, July IA dispatch from Bill
bao capital Of the province of Biscaya,
northern Spain, states that a terrible
railroad accident occurred in that prov
ince last night. A train consisting of a
locomotive and six carriages, while round
ing sharp curve in the mountains, ran
OF the track and went over a high preci-
pice. Six persons were killed and thirty
seriously injured. Many of the
victims are members of the best
families. The provincial government au-
thorities and a number of physicians
have started for the scene of the accident.
Owing TO the mountainous character of
the country and the fact that the train
fell into a valley, 10 is extremely difficult
to get TO the sufferers to relieve them.
The place where the train went over the
precipice is at the head of a valley noted
for its pictUresqueness 1t is about mid
way between the villages of Auzuola and
Vergara.
