This Is Certainly a Chance Which shoul'
 Not be Lost.


 We are aware that our people who suf- fer from nervous, chronic or long stand ing complaints do not have the same opportunity to be cured as do the resi- dents of the great cities where the most eminent physicians and specialists re- side. In other words, our people are debarred from seeking e cure by the great and skilled physicians owing to the cost of travel to the large cities and the high fees charged by such physi- clans.
 Here, therefore, is a chance for the sick of our community which should not be lost. Dr. Greene of 35 West 14th street, New York city, who has the largest practice in the world and who is without doubt the most successful specialist in curing all formes of ner- vous and chronic diseases, offers to give free consultation by mail to all sufferers whom their local physician has failed to cure. You have the privilege of consult Ing Dr. Greene by letter, describing your complaints, and he will, after care fully considering your condition, send you letter fully explaining all your symptoms, telling you everything about your complaint so plainly that you will understand exactly what ails you. He will also give you his advice, based upon his vast experience and wonderful sue cess in treating such cases, as to just what to do to be cured. All this will cost you nothing, and you can thus have consultation with the best known physician and acknowledged most sue. cessful specialist in the world without leaving home and at no expense what. ever. The Doctor is the discoverer o1 that greatest of all known medicines Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. and he has discovered many other most valuable remedies. Write to him now, for this IS chance to get cured which you may never have again

MINORITY REPORT PRESENTED.
It is on the Legality of the Election o
 Dupont.


 It is on the Legality of the Election of
 Dupont.
 Washington, Feb. 1S.-The minority report on the Dupont case was laid be- fore the senate this morning by MT. Turpie, dem., of Indiana. It is signed by the four democratic members of the committee. They deny the legality of the election of May g, 1895, by the Del aware legislature, under which Henry A. Dupont claims to have been elected to the United States senate, the com mittee assuming the position that MT. Dupont was not elected by the vote then cast The report sets forth the records, which, it says, show that on the last ballot thirty votes were cast, and of these Dupont received only f1f- teen, which was less than a majority. The vote of Governor Watson, who had been elected as a senator and subse- quently succeeded to the governorship, is counted in the record.
 Tt is not conceived" the report says, ''how fifteen can be a majority of thir- ty. That a majority of all the mem- bers of the legislature is necessary to a choice when all are present and voting, we think, is clear not only from the act of July 9, 1866, but from the language of the constitution itself upon this sub ject"
 The minority contend that the vote of Speaker Watson was legal, for he was, as they claim, still member of the senate, notwithstanding he was acting governor. Having been allowed to qualify as senator, the report claims, he could only be deprived of his privi- lege to act as such through death, res. ignation, or the senate declaring the seat vacant, neither of which occurred.

She Is Picked Up ut Once and Ten Min
utes Later Resumes Her Play.
One-year-old Gladys Preston fell
from a third-story window of her home
at TIA West Van Buren, street, Chicago,
the other evening, and ten minutes
later was playing on the kitchen floor
as Ii nothing had happened.
The Preston family live on the third
floor of four-story frame house that
stands in the rear of the lot. Little
Gladys was left alone for a few mo-
ments, and she crept into bedroom
where the window stills are Level with
the floor. She leaned against the
blinds and they opened, the child pitch
ing forward and falling 40 feet, striking
in the next yard east, 20 feet from the
house she had fallen out of.
DR.. ]. L. Veit of TAI Van Buren, street,
heard the baby's cries, and running into
the yard, found Gladys lying as she had
fallen-on her back. She was carried
home, and careful examination did not
develop any internal injuries or broken
bones. Within half an hour she had
regained her breath and recovered from
her fright, and once more resumed her
play as though nothing had happened.

RELIC OF THE STONE AGE.

Adolph Miller Finds q Prehistoric Az
Head In the Root of An Oak Tree.
Evidences of the stone age in Chicago
were found the other day by Adolph
Miller, a saloonkeeper, in his woodpile
at Bowmanville. While saving an oak
root into convenient lengths for stove
wood he came upon a stone ax-head
firmly imbedded in the wood. 1t re-
quired several blows with an AK to dis
lodge the stone implement.
Mr.. Miller found that the root had
been cut from an oak tree two feet in
diameter last fall. The tree stood on
the Budlong farm in Bowmanville, and
the root was probably three feet below
the surface of the ground.
The ax-head is about by inches and
~ inches in thickness at the thickest
part 1t is perfect specimen of its
kind, and, from the hicks in its cutting
edge, had probably seen hard service.
Mr.. Miller brought his find" down.
town and exhibited it to his friends. He
thinks its age is at least 200 years, but
says he viii submit it to the Academy of
Sciences for an opinion.

MUST HAVE CERTIFICATES.
Conditions on which Cattle WIN he Ad-
mitted to Austria.

Mr.. Heugelmueller, the Austria-Hun-
garian minister in Washington, has in
formed Secretary Olney that shipments
of cattle arriving recently from Ger
many have been provided with de-
fective certificates, and that in order
to prevent shipment from the United
States, landed at Hamburg OF elsewhere
in Germany from possible refusal Of
admission at the Austrian frontier. He
requests Mr.. Olney, by order Of his
government, to call to the attention Of
parties interested in the subject the fact
that cattle are permitted to enter Aus
tria over the western frontier only on
presentation of cattle certificates
wherein their healthy condition at their
departure from their permanent abode
is certified TO. These animal certificates
are required to be issued officially and
to contain detailed references, special
characteristics and the certifcation
that the animals were in good health at
their departure and that they come
from q place and neighborhood where
no disease infectious to this class OF
animal has prevailed at the time of de-
parture.

SEE THEIR OWN BRAINS.

South Dakota Optician shows . Novel
Method of self-Inspection.
Fred ]. Baker, an optician of Huron,
s. D., is amusing some of his friends by
giving them a sight of their brains in
broad daylight. This is done by re-
versing the act of seeing, the process
being in this wise: Close the hands
with the backs turned outward and the
little fingers extended; with these raise
the eyelids as far as possible and, keep
ing them in this position, roll the eyes
down to the extreme limit and oscillate
them quite rapidly to the right and left.
With a little practice, one will see pro-
jected the image of a segment of his
own brain. This proceeding excites
vision, and as there is no image on the
retina for the brain to see other than
the image on a portion of its own sub
stance, which Immediately connects
with the optic nerve, the pictured seq
ment of the brain is projected out from
the retina to the same distance as the
segment of the brain lies behind the
retina. In this way the brain sees .
portion of it's own surface structure.

TURNS TABLES ON ROBBERS.
NJ. p. Falt Robbed and In Turn Takes the
Money Back Again.

NJ. P. Falt, member of the Lake Car
riers' association in Chicago, was held
up and robbed of S32 by two highway
men. A moment later Mr.. Falt turned
the tables on his assailants, held them
up at the point Of his revolver and took
the $32 away from them.
Mr.. Falt lives at No. 113 SedgwicB

morning he was on his way home from
his Office. At the alley between Lake

two men stepped up and threw Mr.. Falt
to the ground. One of the men held
him while the other robbed him of his
money and pocketbook. The men
then ran into the alley.
AS soon as Falt regained his feet he
drew his revolver and pursued the
highwaymen. He overlook them be-
fore they had gone block, and, point
ing his revolver at them, demanded the
return of his money. Without a word

WATCHES MEMS CREDITS.

Financial Institution Whereby Banks
Watch Customer Commercial Paper.
There is a financial institution in
Chicago of which the general public is
not informed, but the eternal fitness of
things is preserved because the public,
Us body, has no business with it. The
institution has no name, is not organ
lied in any way, nor are its workings
governed by bylaws or rules Of any
kind; and yet nearly every bank in the
city is interested in its work and con-
tributes to its support.
There is one way by which business
man may know the institution is in
working order. Should he previously
have been a regular borrower in the
local market, and, on making applica-
ton to some bank for an extension of
his line of credit, be refused the favor
sought, it will be good evidence of his
having come under the notice of the
institution.
Cashier Moulton, of the Globe Ma
tional, said:
There is such an association MAIN
tanned by the banks, but there is moth
ing particularly new about it. Its
value to a bank is where excessive lines
are being carried by borrowers. The
plan of inquiry adopted by the banks
makes it difficult for a man to keep
more paper afoat in this community
than his credit warrants. Had the
present custom been adopted prior to
1898 good many men who failed might
still be in business

ANOTHER LEE AT WEST POINT.
Son of Confederate Cavalry Leader Ad-
mitted to the Academy.

Son Of Confederate Cavalry Leader Ad-
mitted to the Academy.
One of the strongest illustrations
that the war is over is furnished by the
list of cadets appointed to the military
academy at West Point, in which ap-
pears the name OF George Mason Lee,
of Virginia For the last two and a
half years George Lee, who is a son of
Fitzhugh Lee, has been a student at the
Virginia Military institute, where he
not only stood well in his classes, but
attained the rank of color sergeant Of
his company.
Three of his hnsmen have preceded
him at Uncle Sans training school Of
warriors, Robert L. Lee having been his
grand-uncle, G. w. C Lee his uncle, and
Fitzhugh Lee his father, recently APP
pointed consul-general to Cuba. Rob-
ert Z. Lee graduated second in his class
in 1923, G. w. C. Lee graduated at the
head of his class in 1854 and was sent to
Europe in the engineer corps, and after
Fitzhugh Lee had graduated he rose to
the rank of a captain in the United
States army. This commission he re-
signed, however, to follow the fortunes
of his Uncle Bob, under whom he sub
sequently gained renown as a COM
mander of cavalry.
At the recent examination of candi-
dates for the cadetship at West Point
the fourth scion of the house of Lee
passed a most creditable examination.
His friends are confident that Mason,
as he is called, will give good account
of himself at the military academy.
