CAN CURE ASTHrIA AND HAY
FEVER.
A Noted Physician Offers to Prove
This to All Sufferers in Sacra-
mentO on Thursday.

The majority of sufferers from asthma
ana Kindred complaints, after trying
doctors and numberless remedies adver-
Used as positive cures without avail,
have come to the conclusion that there is
no cure for this most distressing disease,
and these same persons will be the more
in doubt and Skeptical when they learn
through the columns of the press that
DR.. Rudolph Schiffmann, the recognized
authority who has treated more cases
of these diseases than any living doctor,
has achieved success by perfecting a
remedy which not only gives immediate
relief in the worst cases but has posi-
lively cured thousands Of sufferers who
were considered incurable. These We're
just as skeptical as some of our readers
now are. DIR. Schiffmann's remedy no
doubt possesses the merit which is
claimed for it or he would not authorize
this paper to announce that he is not
only willing to give free to each person
suffering from asthma, hay fever or
bronchitis in this city one liberal free
trial box" Of his cure, but urgently re-
quests all sufferers to call at Frank S.
Otis drug store, 200 K street, from S
a. m. till q p. m. Thursday, October Sth,

- Niol Sc, hiioNlll tIIdl III llldhlD3 tliC
claim he does for his cure, a strong
doubt may arise in the minds of many,
and that personal test, as he offers to
ALL will be more convincing, and prove
its merits, than the publishing of thou
sands of testimonials from persons who
have been permanently cured by the
use of his asthma cure Or Schiff-
manns Asthma Cure" as it is called,
has been sold by druggists Of this city
ever since it was first introduced, al
though many persons may never have
heard Of it, and it is with view to
reaching these that he makes this offer.
This is certainly a most generous and
fair offer, and all who are suffering from
any Of the above complaints should re-
member the date and place where the
distribution will be made, and avail
themselves Of the same. Persons living
out of this city who desire to test the
efficacy of this most wonderful remedy
will receive a package free by mail by
writing to DR.. r. Schiffmann, 315 Rosa
bel street, st. Paul, Mimi, providing
their letter is received before October
18th, as no free samples can be obtained
after that date.

TWELVE GONE IN 4 CLoUDBURsT.
Parents and Children Swept On by n Sud-
den Flood In X kentucky.

LOUISVILLE, April 3.-The cloudburst on last
Sunday evening In the mountains Of eastern
Kentucky caused far greater loss Of life and
property than was at arst supposed. The first
news was that only the wife and daughter of
Wade Marders of Clay county were drowned.
Word now comes.from Owsley county that
nine more persons were drowned in Buffalo
Greek. Tho dead are Miss Mary Garrett, George
Gepsons, wife, and three children, two chill
dren of Will Burns. and two others whose
names could not be learned.
The storm passed from Sexton Creek across
the south fork OF the Kentucky River to Buff
falo Creek. The valley is very narrow, and
the water rose so rapidly that the families had
little time to leave their homes. John Crane
was getting out logs, hwen he looked up and
saw Il low we'll Of water bearing down upon
him. His house was about a quarter of a mile
a bove the point where he was working. He
had hardly recovered from his astonishment,
when he saw his wife and child floating toward
him On some driftwood. Crane is an expert
logger. and he spiked O big pine log and rowed
out into the stream In time to rescue his fam
ly. The child was not hurt. but Mrs. Crane
was bruised so badly by the logs that struck
her while she vas trying to savee her child
that she may die.
The devastation along Buffalo Creek is COM
plete. Every house on its banks was washed
away. as well as all the cutbuildings and all
provisions for nan and beast. The south fork
of Kentucky River is higher thsn it has been
for years. Parts OF the town OF Bonneville, the
seat Of Owsley county. is under water AMI the
residents had to move out to escape drowning.

These cities are without Notifications, and the
treaty between this Government and Great
