THE REST CURE.

This is often the best cure. But many
people cannot afford to rest indefinitely
Worse still, the very knowledge that they
cannot. seriously interfcres with the best use
of the rest they have. Too often going to the
doctor means that the patient shall stop short,
while cares and duties and expenses continue.
Many, therefore, hesitate and delay.

Treatment presents an easy way out of the
dilemma; it has done so for moro than a score

Oxygen. The method puts it where it will do
the most goed-in the lungs. The treatment
neither interferes with business nor pleasure.

NO CONTEST.
The Pullman Boys Declare Their In
tention to Let Their Fathers Will
Stand as it Is.

Chicago, October 2S.-There is to be
no contest Of the Pullman will SO both
sons of the dead palace car magnate
declared to-day.
Said George M. Pullman: "The
idea of wishing to contest my fathers
will never entered my head, nor my
brothers head, either. No steps have
been taken and none will be taken to
break the will. My relations with the
Pullman Palace Car Company and my
family are most cordial. | am with the
company in the capacity of an assist
ant district superintendent and expect
to remain with the company"
On terms as explicit as those en-
ployed by his brother, Sanger Pullman
contradicted the rumor that his faith
ers will was to be contested.
Gustav Behring, the young man who
was arrested while proving around
the Pullman residence and who says he
is a son of the late George M. Pullman
was examined by an insanity expert
to-day who has pronounced the man
sane. He was accordingly discharged
from custody. He declares he will
push his claim against the estate of the
dead millionaire.

TRUE BILL RETURNED
Against Sheriff Martin, Who Led the De-

Against Sheriff Martin. Who Led the De-
puties gaipst the Hazleton Marchers.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, October 28-The
grand jury to-day returned a true bill
against Sheriff Martin and his deputies
for the Lattimer shooting. The true
bills included nineteen for murder, one
for each man killed and one for the
victims considered collectively. Thir-
ty-six true bills were found in the
same way for felinious wounding
against the same defendants. The fact
that true bills have been found occa-
sions no surprise, as this action was
expected. If the jury had ignored the
bills the defendants would have been
at once rearrested. The likelihood is
that Sheriff Martin and his deputies
will elect to be tried together. The
re-entry of Garman and McGahren,
who withdrew from the case at the
time Of the preliminary hearing, indi-
Gates that the prosecution will be
pushed with vigor.

THE REASON WHY.

A considerable number of people de-
sired to know, yesterday, why the Reg
lister did not publish the report of the
Gamewell expert brought here to ex-
anime into and report upon the condi-
ton of the electric fire alarm system.
The reason was that the Committee
desired the report in both papers, and
the document was given to the repre-
sentative of the Intelligencer
with the distinct understanding
that it was to be sent
to this office. At half-past one yester-
day morning it had not arrived, and
the Intelligencer was inquired of by
telephone. The gentleman who OBJ
tanned the report under the conditions
named said it would be sent up, but
at three o'clock it had not arrived, and
when it did arrive, quite time after
three o'clock, its insertion was impos-
sible and the Intelligencer had an ex-
elusive publication.
This explanation, which is exactly
in accordance with the facts, is due
the Fire Committee and the public.

Daily Chronicle of the Movements OF the
I:oati and Roatmen.
The specifications for the four new
dams on the Ohio river call for the
completion Of the work before Deem
Der /, 1898. This will give the success
full bidder about twelve months to do
the work. The law will permit of not
more than 25 per cent. of the total cost
Of the Improvement being paid for i'll
any one year. 1t is announced that
there is not enough money available
to complete the four locks and that
there are complications which may pre-
vent the letting of the contract. If all
four cannot be built at once they will
be built one at time.
Capt. William Martin. of the Davis
Island dam, representing Major w. H.
BiXby, held conference with the coal
operators at the Coal Exchange, at
Pittsburg, yesterday, in reference to
removing the dangerous bar at Merrill,
about which so much has been pub
lished. Capt. Martin returned from
Cincinnati at q. m. yesterday, and
Major Bixby had intended to accom-
pany him, but his official orders had
not been received from Washington,
so Major BiXby detailed Capt. Martin
to represent him. The bar will be re-
moved at once. lutte & Co., who had
the contract for removing it, have
given up the work and the contract
will be let to C. l. Mcdonald and the
! work of removing the bar will be COM
menced to-day. Mr. Mcdonald has a
dredgeboat at Merrill. The Juttes
were unable to get dredgeboat to that
place on account of the low condition
of the Ohio river, and the bar at the
Merrill dam has been such menace to
navigation that it meant a loss of
thousands of dollars to coal operators
in the event of a rise. Capt. Martin
! brought to the meeting plans showing
the condition of the river, and the bar
will be removed entirely. thus placing
the river at that point in the best
possible condition under existing cir
cumstances. The meeting was largely
attended by coal operators. and they
were much gratified at the prompt ac-
ton of Major Bixby. Capt. Martin

GROWING HEAVIER.
"Kid" McCoy Was Once a Skinny Lad of
1873 Pounds.

Il
The difference in men and their pc
culiarities of physique is forcibly illus
trated by Champion Fitzsimmons and
Kid Mccoy. These men, out of train
ing, are of about the same size, and
will weigh about the same, and both,
at this time, can box at 1853 pounds
FitZ, however, has been a middle
weight ever since he can remember. A
few years back Mccoy was a tall and
skinny lightweight, scaling 1873 easily.
Then he grew into a welter, and as
such used to box Tommy Ryan, with
acknowledged superiority in Ryan's
favor. Steadily he filled out; now he
figTs at 1853; in two years he will go
into the ring at perhaps 1873, and he
will wind up his career as a full-heged
heavyweight of $50 pounds or more.
Mccoy is still the mystery of the
ring. Nobody can readily say whether
the man is a wonder or a clever ad-
vertiser of mediocre calibre. His bout
with Tommy Ryan hurt his reputation,
yet so well did the Kid explain mat
tiers that his friends still swear by his
ability.
