A Remarkable Recital of a Re-
markab|e Fact.
Full and Interesting Particulars
of a Case that Attracted
Wide Attention.
Mrs. Adeiine Munson, Who Resides in Medd,

For many years past l have been afflict-
ed with general debility, slecplessness, and
numbness in my hands and feet, caused
by poor circulation and impure blood
Was at times affected with headache, diz-
zincss and severe vomiting, as my food
would not digest properly In later years
my nervous system seemed to give out en-
trcly, and general paralytic-like numb
ness came over me. have tried numerous
kinds of sarsaparilas without obtaining
any benefit from them. They not only
proved valueless. but / believe actually
harmed me; my stomach could not retain
them and grew steadily worse.
About year ago, heard of the Red
Seal Sarsnparilla, that was said to be pre-
pared by an entirely new and thoroughly
scientific method, whereby n certain poi
sonous principle, very harmful to the digcs-
tive organs, and which is brought ont in
some process, was entirely eliminated.
found great relief in the first few doses
of the Red Seal Sarsaparilla, and after
taking three bottles | found myself en-
tircly cured, and, although 81 years of age,
| feel stronger and younger today than
have for many years past.
believe the Red Seal Sarsaparilla to be
the best medicine of its kind, and strong
" recommend it to all who wish for IA
spcpdy eurc I will checrfully give full
details of my case to all who wish for
further particulars.
Red Seal Sarsaparilla is for sale every
where. Ask your dealer for n bottle. 1t
always cures.

A BOISTEROUS PROCEEDING.
Lewiston High School Boys Break Up Auburn
High School Debating Club Meeting.

Auburn, Nov. l6.-( SpeciaD. Tonight,
as the debating club of the Edward Little
high school were giving an entertainment
a disturbance occurred among the audi
tors that finally broke up the entertain
ment. The trouble started with bursts of
applause when there was nothing in par
ticular to applaud, and which, together
with calls and other boistcrous dcmonstra-
ions, almost precipitatcd IA riot.
The audience departed hurriedly and it
was found that about 30 scholars of the
Lewiston high school were present and re
sponsible for the trouble. Several indi-
vidual brushes We're indulgcd in until
some one finally raised the cry of Police, =
when the Lewistonans ran for the Spindle
City.
Nothing like this has ever occurred here
before, and it was supposed that nothing
beyond friendly rivalry existed between
the schools. The matter will be invcsti-
gated and the offenders, if caught, will be
severely dealt with. The city is agog with
excitement over the affair.

NEW USE FOR CATS.
Here Is Man Who Extracts Electricity
to Run n Factory.

II had Il large cork and bung factory
in Grand avenue. and l needed power
TO run my machinery" writes Mil
wauleean In Iiurper's Weekly. You
know. of course, that there is an i'm
mcnsc amount of stored up electricity
in a eat. The problem for inventors
has been to invent q way to extract 1T
prohtably. In the rear of my factory
| constructed onc-story circular build
ing, some sixty feet in diameter. On
the floor of this | coilcd glass pipe
six inches in diameter. The first coil
ran around the outside of the room,
the coils gradually growing smaller,
till at last, in the center, it was no
larger than a table. 1t gave me some
thing like mile of pipe. The top
and sides of this pipe were lined with
rather stiff hair brushes, the bristles
being little more than an inch in
length.
.'At that tim Milwaukee was over
run with cats. 1t was impossible to
sleep nights. put n notice in the pa
per that would pay ten cents a dozen
for prime cats, delivered at my factory.
| got sixty dozen the first day and
stored them in the basement OF the
power-house. The motor operated
thus: Placing in the outer end of the
glass pipe an imitation rat made of
rubber and propelled by small inte-
rior storage battery. would then ad-
just a cat Immediately behind it. The
rubber rat would start off at a terrific
rate-it was made to go through the
mile oftubing in from two to three min
utes-and the cat, of course, followed fu-
riously. thinking to catch the supposed
animal throughout the entire distance.
Gentlemen, it was exciting to watch a
healthy, active cat whip about those
spirals, with the mechanical rat about
foot ahead and going like a cannon
ball. The cats back and sidc5 rubbed
against the brushes and her electricity
was thus extracted. With a storage
battery, and by sending n cat through
every five minutes, generated enough
electricity to operate my entire plant,
light my factory and sell power to run
neighboring passenger elevators and
small machinery. 1t also took the
yowl out of the cats and gradually the
city became quiet Al the end of n
week a cat could be caught and used
again"
