Mr.. Koontz was aroused the other
night by the chattering of his geese,
which awakened the entire neighbor-
hood, says the Pasco News. On
stepping out OF the door, Mr.. Koontz
soon learned the cause of the dis
turbance. A flock of wild geese were
in the yard endavoring to coax the
domesticated ones to follow them in
their flight. After being frightened
away, the wild birds lowered around
the yard the remainder of the night,
continuing their pleading for the tame
ones TO Join them.

Of all the deaths that occur in the world are
caused by consumption. And consumption
Can be cured. Doctors used To say that it
was incurable, but the doctors were merely
mistaken II would be strange if medical
science did not make some progress. Many
things were once considered impossible.
The ocean steamer the locomotive, the
telegraph and telephone the phonograph,
the electric light-all these were once I'M
possible, and once it was impossible to cure
consumption. That was before the time
of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
Taken according to directions, this standard
remedy will cure % per cent of all cases of
consumption. Consumption is disease of
the blood. II used to be considered dis
ease by itself. 1t is not. 1t is caused and
fostered by iInpurity in the blood. Purify
the blood and restore the healthy action to
tHe various organs or the DOdy and con-
sumption will be cured 1t is by weakness
and loss of vitality in the blood. 1t is cured
by purity and richness of the blood-surely.

ton or any lingering bronchial, throat or
lung disease, and those who are on the road
to them, have positive remedy at hand
Any condition of the body that indicates
weakness, any indication of impurity in the
blood, should be attended to at once. Loss
of appetite, loss of flesh, loss of vitality.
nervousness weakness and unnatural wear

Discovery makes the appetite good, the di-
gestion strong. II builds up solid, healthy
flesh and vigorous strength Thousands Of

their lives. Some of these testimonials,

WASHINGTON May 9.--The proceedings
Of the Spanish court martial in the case of
the men captured on the schooner Com
petitor are being closely followed here, and
there is ground for the fear that unless
the matter is handled with great discre-
tiou H. may result in straining the pres
ant friendly and amicable relations be-
tween the United States and Spain.
Strong representations have been made to
the state department On the subject, and
the department will certainly not fail to
intervene instantly if it shall appear that
at least all of the Americans among the
captiyes under trial are not treated with
all of the privileges accorded by the rules
of civilized warfare. An instance on this
point would oblige the department to re-
fuse to sanction the execution of the
Americans.
