was Mr.. Paulhamus friendship for Fred
Merrill, who contested with Mr.. Coincr for
the nomination for county attorney in the
convention OF 1894. MIR. Merrill claimed
that Mr.. Coirer was elected a delegate
from his precinct on a Merrill ticket, and
went into the convention with his plans
This contention has always been denied by
Mr.. Coiner. After the convention and all
during the campaign Mr.. Merrill fought
Mr.. Coner with all his vigor. and a bitter
political enmity grew up between the two.
Rumor has lately associated Mr.. Paulha-

quarters as the reason for the rupture be-

Boer government is j. $. Curtis. described
IN dispatches received here from London
as being a wealthy mining engineer. Fur
Their information about the cause of his
arrest has been sought in vain by his many
friends in this city. The prisoner is Joseph
Story Curtis, a son of the late George
Ticknor Curtis a man of considerable
prominence in the mining circles of the
world. His mother and sisters live in the
Kensington apartment house, and they
as well as his friends. are amazed al the
report of his arrest for being one of the
leaders in the recent uprising IN the Trans

posed TO the English schemes for securing
control OF the country, and has often so
written to friends in the city. His sympa-

For some months Mr.. Curtis has not writ

pendent entirely on the newspaper reports
for news of him. Although an American
citizen, very little of Mr.. Cutris' life has

way to cure cold, but you can make
no mistake in using
