tions condemning the Wilson bill. insofar
as IL pertains TO lumber. and the protest
could not have been made stronger than it
was without using impolite language. It
reeited the necessity for tariff on lumber
and timber products. and insisted that the
repeal of the present duty would work
great hardship upon those who are inter-
ested in the lumber industry heteabouts.
OF course this Is all more or less like
other protests which have been made,
but one clause was particularly important
as IL Is purely local IN its bearing, and IL
Mr.. Wilson loves his constituency, he will
surely heed their particular plant. 1t is.
in effect, that the timber of the Second
congressional district, Of the pine species,
is diving with blight at the rate OF 1000
feet for every 10000 feet sawn. To stop
the cutting of this timber. which comes
directly into competition with the Cam

INCONTESTIBLE EVIDENCE
or the Remarkable Curative Powers OF
Electricity.

There can be no doubt nor question Of
the curative powers of electricity. judging
from the extraordinary cases Of cure per-
formed by DIR. Darrin in this city. The
great advantage of electrical action is that
it brings relief in q large number of dis
eases confessedly beyond the reach of the
ordinary remedies of the physician, and
DIR. Darrin has enforced q belief in the
curative powers of electricity upon the
public by his remarkable cures. The fol-
lowing card SPEAKS for itself:
