smell all left him. He appears as well
as any one.-J. q. Olmstead, Arcola,

she wants. no matter whether it be
Worlds Fair or a government build
ing costing $4,000, 900. She has hai
the fair and now has her representa-

What Dr.. MacTaggart
HAS DONE AND is DOING.

The Doctor wishes the public to understand
that he is not soliciting the ordinary run OF
cases, but desires just such diseases TO treat
that other physicians cannot succeed with or
at least fail TO cure. When you suffer from
such consult HIM consultation is free), have
him thoroughly diagnose your case, and then
what he tells you can be relied upon as q fact
beyond refutation. Some may say, "Why go TO
Or. MacIaggart when we have as good doctors
here as anywhere9" Yes, so you have In their
line OF practice, but not in those specialties
that DR.. MacTaggart is schooled and practiced
In, In support OF this unqualified assertion
read his testimonials mot only read them, but
investigate the truthfulness OF them. Where
are the physicians who can remove cancers
without pain and cure II beyond peradventure?
He does II. Where can you find another ply
slcian In pennsylvania who can remove tumors
OF even % pounds weight without the use OF
the knife, without pain, and without leaving q
scar? DR.. MacTaggart does 1t. What physi-
clan can cure ristulas without cutting or caus-
Ing the least pain or soreness during treatment.
DR.. MacTaggart does II successfully. These
are golden truths-golden because 1t proves be.
yond dispute that the science OF medicine In
speclalties particularly. Is advancing with
rapid strides far In the lead OF the regular
practitioner. Libby.

This Horse Carried His Victims Straight
to the Robbers Cave.
When l was in Nebraska, near the Snake
River, north of the great Sand Hill, in 1859,
writes correspondent of the Lewiston
about eighteen miles apart, and TO go from
Thorne's camp to Durham camp it was
necessary to go through long piece OF
pine woods. For a number of months
every one who had gone through the
woods alone never came back. One day it
was necessary that 1 should go through
with lot of money and no escort, and
set out on horse that / got from stable
keeper near Thorne camp.
When L had nearly reached the woods,
nearly tive miles out my horse was taken
Ill and refused to go on. Clearly to my
medical eye it had been poisoned by some
one. Soon what looked like hunter
came along on a horse and offered to
swap, taking mine back to the stable if /
would leave his near Dunham camp with
a trapper. l ought to have seen through
this, but did not. l got on to the
powerful horse of the stranger and
started through the five miles of woods.
Half way through, without any ap-
parent reason, the horse broke into a
trot, gallop, and finally run, and dash
ing OH the trall through the WOODS plcSed
his way among the trees as nicely as if he
had gone that way hundred times. Pull
as [ would at the bride he paid no atten-
zion, but ran the faster. When he had
leaped brook and landed on the sand be-
yond the marks OF footprints alarmed me
and l slipped off at the risk of my life.
He ran on up ravine and 1 hid, fearing
that it was trap, as it afterward proved.
In little while three men armed with
rifles came back on the trail, one riding
the horse, now as gentle as lamb. |
picked my way to the road and got out to
the camp.
Two weeks later nineteen of us followed
man who hired horse at the same place
did. IL was taken i'll and the same trap
per came along on the same horse. When
the horse dashed into the woods, as he had
been trained to do, nineteen of us dashed
after him and finally arrived at a mountain
camp of robbers. We took every man
seven of them-and, well! law was not
well supported out there then, and no court
sat nearer than 200 miles. We didn't carry
the rascals away from their own campfire.
The trained horse met the fate of its own

The permanence of the cures performed at
the Copeland Medical Institute in their i'm
mense practice in this city is a question of the
most vital Importance to our people, and it
must be most gratifying not only to Drs. Cope
land, Neal and Winn, but to the interested
thousands who have been watching the un-
paraleled increase and success of their prac-
tice that this fact has been so firmly estab-
lished. That patient may be assured of the
science no better evidence can be furnished
than the statement of Mr.. Alexander Wig

Columbia Theater.

Daniel Sully will open an engagement
at the Colum bia Theater tomorrow even
ing in his new play, by Matt c. Royal, "a
Social Lion" The piece is said to abound
with funny complications and to be thor
oughly pleasing to all lovers OF Irish
comedy.
Sully is rehearsing a new play, in the
authorship of which he has collaborated
with Dan Mason. 1t is described as a
compromise between Sully's desire to at
tempt more ambitious dramatic flights
than low comedy, and the desire OF the
public to hear him in play which gives
full scope to his talent for that same low
comedy. In the meantime "a Social
Lion will run for several days at the Co
lumbia Theater, and Will be succeeded to-
ward the end of the week by "a Day In
June" another of Sully's new comedies.

powerful and dramatic figure. The play
is to be lavishly staged, and Miss Blair's
dresses are pronounced to be things of
beauty,
