Professor Munyon is honored to-day
as the leading authority in the medical
world His new and humane methods
of trea tment have swept away all the
old-fa shioned ideas of doctoring with
poisonous drugs that create dozen dis
eases in the effort to get rid of one. He
does not claim that he has one remedy
that will cure all complaints. but that
he has prepared a specific cure for near
~ every disease. He does not claim
that Munyon's rheumatism Cure Will
cure consumption, dyspepsia or any
other complaint, but he does assert that
it Will cure rheumatism. Munyon's
Dyspepsia Cure is prepared expressly
to cure dyspepsia; Munyon's Cough
Cure to cure coughs; Munyon's Ca
tarrth Remedies to cure catarrh; Mum
yon's Kidney Cure to cure kidney troll
bles. The same may be said of all
Munyon's different remedies. They may
be obtained at all drug stores, mostly at

SACRAMENTO BENCH SHOW.
The Kennel Club Allowed to Exhibit
the Dogs on Sunday.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 29-The Adj
visory Board of the Pacific Kenel Club
met this evening in the office of Field
Sports purposely to hear and pass
upon a report from the Sacramento
Kennel Club in reference to the holding
of its bench show on Sunday.
The American Kennel Club, which
determines all questions of doubt rela-
tive to kennel matters throughout the
country, decided to leave the matter in
the hands of the Pacific Advisory
Board, and that body decided to allow
the Sacramento Kennel Club to exhibit
their dogs on Sunday, January 10th.
The Sacramento Club claimed the
dates January 9th to 11th for its show,
and the Advisory Board adjudged that
it would be doing an injustice TO the
sportsmen of the Capital City if it
were to deny them the permission to
hold the show on the days which have
been so extensively advertised. The
entries for the show will close with the
Secretary, w. E. Ladd of Stockton, on
January 1st and from all accounts a
large number of entries will be received.

Which is Planning the Overthrow OF
the Manchu Dynasty.
A Cyclone Which Passed Over New
South Wales Virtually Demolished
the Town of Nevertire - Though
Details Are Wanting, 1t is Re-
ported That a Large Number OF
Casualties Occurred.

CHICAGO, Dec pa morning pa
per prints the following: According to
versatile Wong Chin Foo, Chicago is
TO become headquarters for the Chinese
revolutionary junta. This body plans
the overthrow of the Manchu dynasty,
now regnant in the Flowery Kingdom,
by an armed invasion from a convent
ert South Sea island.
Rooms for the junta have been en-
gagged at No 800 South Clak street, and
the Mongolians who dwell in that vicin-
ity await the coming of Sung Vat Sen
to Set the machinery in motion which
is to open China to Western civilization
Sung Vat Sen is the Celestial revolu-
ZIONIST who recently was kidnapped IN
the streets of London, and whose re-
lease was effected by Lord Salisbury.
He is now collecting money and organ
izing his followers in England. He will
sail for America within two or three
weeks where he will confer With Chin
Foo of Chicago and other leaders of
the Chinese reform party in this coun-
try. Wong Chin Foo at present is hard
ait work on magazine articles on Con-
fucianism, and in the preparation of
Confucian missionary lectures to be de-
livered in Illinois and adjoining States.
Put he is not neglecting his duties as
attorney for the revolutionists.
The revolutionary societies in this
country and England number, it is said,
thousands of Cinnamon who have
| amassed wealth, which is to be used
when the time ripens for the over
throw of the hated Manchu dynasty.

THE BOYCOTT ON "L'ELECTEUR.'
Beginning of Struggle to Death With
the Government of Ottawa.

MONTREAL, Dec. 29.-The manda-
ment, issued by the Roman Catholic
Bishops of Quebec forbidding faithful
Catholics to Subscribe for, read, circu-
late or otherwise encourage the news
paper 'LElecteur,' published in Que
bee City, under pain of being deprived
of the benefits of the church." has ere
ated intense excitement throughout the
province, and is denounced in strong
terms by the Liberal French and Eng
lish papers.
Mr.. Pacaud, publisher of the con-
demned paper, WILL it is understood,
take an action for $1,000 damages
against each of the Bishops who signed
the mandament and number of promi-
nent men here have expressed their will
ingness to subscribe towards carrying
the case to the Privy Council If neces-
sary
lie Patrie," Liberal French paper
published in this city, says: 1T is Mr..
Pacaud who was struck. but Mr.. Lau-
rier who was aimed at. 1t is the L Elec-
teur' which is assassinated, but in the
hope that the point Of the dagger, after
having killed Pacaud, will strike the
First Minister of Canada in a vital spot.
The execution of LElecteur' at Quebec
is and can be only the beginning of a
struggle to the death with the Govern
ment at Ottawa"
Mr.. Pacaud says he will cease the
publication of his paper, and appeal
from the condemnation of the Bishops
to the Roman court.
The offense of "L'Electeur' consisted
In printing a pamphlet written by Mr..
David, upholding the doctrine of the SUI
premacy of the State in State affairs,
and denying the right of the church to
dictate to electors how they shall vote
upon such a question as that of the res
toration of separate schools in Mani
toba
