on the special New Years edition Of the
Roseburg Review, says editorially:

thought by some to be a put up Job Of
the Review to make them appear as re-
pulsive as possible as an electioneering

This is small business. The New Years
issue Of the Roseburg Review. which
was received by the Astorian a few days
ago. is not. only a credit to the Office
from which 1t came, but a lasting credit

Dear Sir:-I am glad TO say a good
word for Krause's Headache Capsules.
After suffering for over three years
with acute neuralgia and its consequent
insomnia (Which seemed to baffle the
efforts Of some OF our best physlcians)
you suggested this remedy which gave
me almost instant relief. Words fall

The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1896-02-13

Yaukton Press, IL: A very important
resolution has just been presented in the
senate by Mr.. Pettigrew. 1t Directs the
secretary of the treasury to foreclose the
mortgage held by the government on the
Pacific railroads and to pay off all prior
liens, the floating debt, ETC., the money
necessary for this purpose to be provided
by the sale Of coin bonds. The govern
ment eventually will be compelled to
take this step or lose all its property in
the road, and no doubt a scheme exists
to day that looks to some sort Of legisla-
tion by which the government will be
made to donate it's interest to the other
bondholders. The property is now in a
very unsatisfactory shape, the bond
holders, aside from the United States,
being mostly foreigners.

THE CATHODE RAY
Tne New Photographic Process
Put to a Practical Test
at Chicago.
Bullet Successfully Located by
Means of the New
Light
And Promptly Removed by Sur
geons--It Was an Old
Wound.

CHICAGO, Feb. IL. The cathode ray
a surgical operation. Casper Schmid,
who had been shot in the hand two
years ago, offered himself as a subject
to DR.. James E. BURY and Electrician
Charles f. Scribner who have been
conducting a series Of experiments at
the laboratory of the Western Electric
company. The bullet in the hand was
a small one, and its location could not
be determined by ordinary means, but
it at times caused great pain and par.
tial paralysis of the member. The in.
jured hand was exposed to cathode rays
for about an hour. After the lapse of
that time, the sensitized plate, upon
which rested the wounded hand, was
taken to the photograph room.
The Bullet Disclosed and Removed.
When developed. the plate disclosed
an excellent likeness Of the anatomy of
the hand. Between the m~etacarpal
bones of the third and fourth fingers
could be seen the likeness Of what ap-
peared to be a buckshot. The lead
rested about an inch and q half below
the knuckls and was perfectly plain.
DR.. BURY made a silver print from
the negative, and using this Is a
