Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery are all
that is necessary to convince fair-minded
people of its transcendent merit. They
are as follows:
All diseases come from germs. The germs
get into the blood, propagate and increase
in the blood, which carries them all over the
body. When they find a weak spot they
stick to the weak spot. 1t becomes dis
eased spot and the disease is called by the
name corresponding to its location in the
body. The cause is the same for nearly all
diseases. All impurities are germs, or breed
germs. Impure blood means germ filed
blood. Kill the germs, eliminate the i'm
purities, enrich the blood, and it will force
itself into the diseased spot and strengthen
it, and give it power to throw off the germs
that exist there. Dr. Pierce's Golden Med
heal Discovery is designed to do this-that

Eva Booth Says Good By.

New YORK, April 27.-At a
largely attended meeting held at
the Salvation army headquarters
last night, Commissioners Eva
Booth formally "farewelled" to the
army in this country and inciden-
tally to the American people.
h-Tucker, presided. In a few
words Eva Booth told of her ap-
pearance in New York and Chica-
90 and of affection that she had
for the people Of these places who
had stood by her in the midst of
trouble and difficulties that she
had to encounter, and it was with
genuine grief she parted with
them, possibly never to return.

Chilian Protocol Signed.

New YORK, April pa dis
patch to the Herald from Buenos
Ayres says: The Gillian protocol
formulating the terms Of the boun-
Diary dispute has been signed. A
meeting of the cabinet was held at
the presidents palace Immediately
after the adjournment, when the
president and minister of foreign
affairs affixed their signatures to
the document.
A dispatch was at once sent to
Santiago de Cuba by telegraph in
forming President Montt. A cour-
Ter leaves for the CHILEAN capital
today with duplicate OF the pro-
tocol to obtain the signatures of
President Montt and the Gillian
minister of foreign affairs, Senior
Guerrero.
The cabinet, in Its deliberations
on the protocol, consulted freely
with Senior Bernardo Trigoyen
who drew up the treaty OF 1881 de-
termining the boundary between
the two countries.
Full details will be given to the
public on Thursday after the ex.
change of protocols. Despite the
pacific notice already published in
the Nacion, many Of the Argentina
papers declare that the present
negotiations will not settle the
question between Chilli and Argen-
tine. The feeling in military cir
cles is not favorable to the govern
ment.

Cavalry Horses Hard to Find.

CHICAGO, April PA special to
the Chronicle from Chamberlain,
s. D. says: John Hale, Of Tilford,
one Of the most prominent stock
men inSouth Dakota some months
ago received the contract for fur
nishing the Eighth cavalry of Fort
Heade with some seventy or eigh-
ty horses. Notwithstanding that
he visited practically every promi-
nent horse ranch In western South
Dakota. Eastern Wyoming, and
South Eastern Montana, in order
to secure horses that would pass
the rigid inspection. Every horse,
he says, so far taken in, have been
rejected. The horses according to
Hale were the very best that could
be procured. some OF the horses
could not be purchased in Chicago
or New York for $3.50. Horse
raisers in this section are discour-
aged and say that the board that
holds strictly to the requirements
Of the government in the selection
Of cavalry horses would not be
able to get enough horses to mount
one cavalry regiment.

GEORGETOWN BOOMLETs.
Resolutions of Thanks to I. & G.. N. Rail-
road-Religious Revival, Etc.

GEORGETOWN, Tex, April ~
Special. AT a meeting Of the
Board Of Trade today, resolutions
Of thanks to the management OF
the International and Great North
ern railroad were passed. 1t will
be remembered that about two
months ago mass meeting was
held here condemning the manage
ment for the poor condition OF the
track between here and Round
Rock.
1t appears, however, that action
had already been taken to repair
the line. At any rate steel rail
and cinder ballast has been laid
over the entire line and the sched-
ule reduced one half, and train SER
vice increased. The Georgetown
branch will now compare favorably
with the main line in physical con-
dition.
The revival of the Christian
church continues with interest I'M
abated. The following persons
were baptized in the San Gabriel
river last evening by the pastor,
Rev Mr.. King. Elder Saunders
preached a short sermon on the
banks: Mrs. Dave Goodlet, Miss
Nellie Chadwick, Miss Lula
Gahagan, Max Forces, Clark Jenk-
ms, Kaiser Schiefer, Archer Hart.
There are about one hundred
bales of cotton In the cotton yard
here and about 500 bales in the
country tributary to Georgetown,
waiting for higher prices. Farm
ers have made good progress the
past week planting cotton and
about one half the crop is now
planted. Voluntary oats Is look
ing better than in 1881 and the
yield will reach Is to 100 bushels
to the acre.

Crinnle Greek Thieves.

CRIPPLE CREEK, April 27.-In-
formation which has been gath
cred by Chief of Police Marshall
and others, together with well
known facts, make it almost posi-
tive that the fire Saturday was the
work of incendiaries, with the OBJ
ject Of plumber. 1t Is believed the
banks were the objective points,
and they were to have been looted
in the excitement II favorable op-
portunity offered. The fires started
almost simultaneously in several
places and all to the windward Of
the banks and large business houses.
A number OF crooks are In the city
and are known to the authorities,
but owing to the lack Of Jail facili-
ties they will be unmolested for a
time. The amount Of plundering
during the excitement Saturday
was enormous, some firms losing
nearly everything they had saved
from the flames. Others state that
their cash registers were robbed
after being carried out of their
places OF business.

NEW YORK, April 27.-For the

Sage, Of the state prison at Sing

on East Sixth street. He cut her
throat with a bread knife. At his

shaken. The condemned man was

German and French Population.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 81
Germany takes a census Of the pop
ulation every five years and the
results of that taken last year, Just
made public, have caused much
surprise and qualification, for they
show, Notwithstanding complaints
of the agricultural and msnufac-
turing depression, that the popu-
lation has increased more rapidly
than in any five years period since
the foundation of the empire, be-
ing 1924, SOB last December, an In
crease Of 2,Sl6,217, or 1.l4% per
year.
French census shows the increase
of population in France in the
same years in the same period was

TO RELIEVE MACEO.
Large lnsurgent Armies Organizing for
That Purpose.


New YORK, April PA dis
patch to the Word from Havana
says: General Weyler's offer OF
pardon to all insurgents who sur
render with their arms in Pinar
del Rio within 20 days was pub
lished in the hope of weakening
General Maceo. But the rebel
commander knows that his brother
Jose is on the other side OF the
'trochs' with 5000 Imen. He also
knows that General Gomez and
Calixto Garcia are organizing col
umns in Puerto Principe to relieve
him. General Maceo will never
surrender. He sends word to
Havana that he will cross the
'trocha' when he is ready, and
that the immense Spanish army
massed along the barrier can not
compel him to make the assault
until the right day arrives. 1t is
said that General Maceo Is DELHI
erately waiting in Pinsr del Rio in
order to keep one-third of the
whole Spanish army idle at the
western extremity Of Cuba while
Gomez, CaliXtO Garcia and other
commanders organize an army and
thoroughly drill their columns in
the center and eastern provinces.
Even now a rumor reaches here
that a large town in the east has
been taken, but rumors are abun-
dant and trustworthy facts are
scarce.
at is certain, however, that the
power OF the insurgents
in the east is increasing
daily, and that General Maceo's
heroic position in the western hills
is part of great strategic plan Of
the campaign.
General Weyler looks upon the
'trocha' as the key to the war. In
a talk with him he made that
plain. 1t has been said, and is
generally believed by the Spanish
leaders, that General Gomez and
the other white commanders would
make terms for peace but for Gen.
eral Maceo and his fierce negro fol-
lowers who will consent to moth
ing but complete and uncondi-
tional independence.
"The captain general believes
that II General Maceo is conquered
now the war will end in a few
months"
