DR.. Cyrus Edison is SO excellent an au-
thority that as he tells of a wonderful
new cure for consumption, yellow fe-
yer and malaria, tens of thousands OF
afflicted persons will feel a new flush
of hope, and will make renewed efforts
to fight the diseases which are destroy
ing them. The method of treatment,
by the injection OF chemical fluids be-
meath the skin is simple, and has al
ready been practiced with the most
complete success. Certainly the man
who can win back from the grave the
vast numbers who fade out Of exist
ence annually beneath yhe whitening
touch Of consumption ought to be as
famous as Pasteur, who has practical
~ annihilated hydrophobia; or as ltoux
and Behring, who are doing away with
~diphtheria. But DR.. Edison does not
give us the name Of the ~d;scoverer Of
the new remedy.

The Rev. Julius Felcke, of Hoboken.
and Bishop Fallows, of Chicago, are.
each of them, in the saloon business.
but there is an important difference a
their methods. The one sells drinks
which are intoxicating, the other sells
fluids Which are not the kind of enemy
that some men put into their MOUTHS
TO steal away their brains. Cndoubt-
edly the position occupied by the good
Bishop is UNNECESSARILY superior 10
that of the mere parsOu. and vet il may
be said for the latter that Il would be
better for the world II al who keen
saloons would act On ais plan. Fclcko
says: Il shall sell nothing 10 perso,s
who are intoxicated, nor to bows or
young men" Some people may thin9,
he has 4 valid excuse for taking up
the liquor business 1T retail. as he saws
his pension and the salary he was lc-
cclylng for services as pastor were nor
sufficient 10 support his family. DR..

Prof. Marcus Baker of the coast and
~geOdetic survey is of opinion that Eng
land has no sort Of claim to the 1900
square miles of territory between Port
land canal and Beam canal on the
southeast border Of Alaska. In fact,
he has not the ghost OF a doubt that
the American title is perfect, and blunt
ly declares that the only arbitration
admissible is the arbitration of battle.
Prof. Baker has been on the ground rs
representative of the United States and
1t is to be presumed that he is thor
oughly familiar with the subject. 1t is
also to be presumed. though it does not
necessarily follow, that a scientific and
learned man occupying the position he
does is no a sensational demagogue or
a passionate lingo. What he saws in
regard to the perfection OF our tide is
entitled to great weight. But there
is no imminent danger of war. If our
title is as unquestionable as the pre-
fessOr represents John Bull will hardly
venture to dispute it seriously.

Compliments ana congratulations
must be offered to the Chicago street
railway company which has thought
fully issued transfer slips Illuminated
with gems Of thought from the philoso-
pliers. It has occasionally been noticed
that the Transfer system on some Of the
Chicago lines did not work with uni
form success. Passengers have been
known 20 wait until their transfer
checks had expired before the expected
car came in sight. Others have COM
planned that the use of the checks were
unduly limited. There have been occa-
siOnS when q passenger, having been
unlucky Win lis transfer slip. has paid
another fare, and even then been stop
ped midway in his journey and com
PEELED to walk home. These things may
continue. hut one company at least
means to atone TO the passengers for
whatever loss he may sustain. 1t may
not Civ" him the best of transportation
for his 5-cent piece. but il will give
him ono splendid advice. The delayed
passengel may study his transfer slip
and acquire the helpful thought that
ECONOMY is half the battle in life
and under the influence of this thought
he will BE- more content to walk home.
Or he may read that Little strokes fell
great oaks and thereby acquire pa
tience. Il is Il great scheme. Here
after let 10 passenger despair of getting
the full equivalent Of his money. He is
sure to get some admirable advice, any
way, and !, viii he even with 4 lavish

MEMORIAL SERMON.
Delivered by Rev..LOgal, at ChO-
teau, May "a, 1896.


Text, Gen. 1872.
Decoration Day has become
great institution. Like The Fourth
Of July, it is very properly utilized
for the inculcation of lessons of
patriotism and gratitude, but un-
like the Fourth of July, its exer-
cises are of the more solemn and
thoughtful cast
This is right. Many of the
brave men who fought in the
rebellion are sleeping their last
sleep, and those that remain are
silvered with age and bent with
infirmaties. The veterans will
soon be gone. They are rapidly
falling. Let their heroism be
commended and commemorated.
Few of them will have monuments
in marble or brass, but our pre-
served union of states is glorious
monument for them all. Tell the
young of their deeds of vaor and
sacrifice. Educate the rising gen
GRAFTON to hold fast the principles
for which their fathers so bravely
contended. Explain truyhfully and
fearlessly the situation OF the
country, the dominating senti-
ments of the rebellious hosts, the
tremendous odds against which on
many field our union men fought,
tie sacrifices they made solely for
principle, their persistency in ser
vice, and their magnaminity in
victory. Tell the truth in love.
Tell it without rancor. Tell it TO
all. Tell it always.
Our heroes made possible, in the
suppression of insurrection and
slavery, the rapid development OF
our country, The freeing from
sin brings peace. We are freed
from some despicable sins by the
late war, and we have peace and
rapid development as our reward.
A great curvature in the minds
of many, was Strengthened never
to be bent again.
Mountains were leveled to the
ground, and beacon lights were
hung upon the four corners of our
nation. Lights that declared
equal rights and equal light to all.
Lights that burned the lash anC
set the captive forever free
Lights that declared that selling
into slavery human being is sin
And the great voice of Goo
thundered, Amen

CHESTER EDWARDS IS ARRESTED
Charged With Obtaining Money Tn
der False Pretenscs

Seattle, Wash, July 1S-A conspiracy
wherein Chester A Edwards, formerly
proprietor of the Spokane Sunday Sun,
| a sensational paper. and certain passen-
ger and freight conductors have for
months been robbing the Great North
ern railroad in the matter of transporta-
tion, was disclosed today by the arrest
of Edwards. They operated principally
between Seattle and Spokane and it APP
pears that passengers We're given from Il
one-third to a half fare rate. 1t seems
that Edwards had also been supplied
with keys to box cars and would lock
men, who were willing to put up with
such accommoda tions, in the cars. The
business has been carried on quite eX
tensNely and especially so during the
past 90 days. 1t is alleged that Edwards
ls the ringleader and that ha had con-
;ederates III Spokane, the scheme being
operative both ways. The Great North
ern has had spoilers al work trying to
unravel the mystery for three months.
The specific charges against Edwards
is that he obtained money under false
pretenses from n. c. Wiuslow, George
Bordeaux. W. f. Lord and Keno Kid. a
gambler. taxing each $50 for transnor
tation from Seattle to Spokane. Wins
low turned out to be spy and the four
who had been locked in the combination
