FREE CURE FOR MEN.
A Michigan Man Offers to Send His
Discovery Free.
Claims To Be a Benefact0r To
Weakened Mankind.

There is always more or less Sus-
picion attached to anything that is Of
fered free but sometimes a man so
overflOws with generosity that he can
not rest until his discovery is known
TO the world, in order that his fellow
men may profit by what he has dis
covered. 1t is upon this pricipal that
a resident of Kalamazoo, Mich. de-
SireS to send free to mankind a pre-
scriptiOn which will cure them of any
form of nervous debility; relieves
them of all the doubt and uncertain
~ which such men are peculiarly liza
bic TO and restores the organs to nat
ural size and vigor. AS it costs moth
ing to try the experiment it would
seem that any man, suffering with the
nervous troubles thatnusually attack
men who never stopped to realize
what might be the final result, ought
to be deeply interested in a remedy
which will restore them to health,
strength and vigor, without which
they continue to live an existence of
untold misery. AS the remedy in
question was the result of many years
research as to what combination
would be peculiarly effective in restor-
ing to men the strength they need. it
would seem that all men suffering
with any form of nervous weakness
ought to write for such q remedy at
once. A request to H. g. Olds. Box
174S Kalamazoo, Mich, stating that YOU
are not sending for the prescription
out Of idle curiosity, but that you wish
to make use Of the medicine by giving
it trial, will be answered promptly
and without evidence as to where in
formation came from.
The prescription is sent free. and al
though some may wonder how Mr..
Odds can afford to give away his dis
covery, there is no doubt about the
offer being genuine. Cut this out and
send to Mr.. Odds so that he may
know how you came TO write him.

SEEK INDEPENDENCE.
Canadian Club Organized to Throw
Of British Yoke.
Effort to he Made Next March to Federst'
All Societies and Clubs Favorable
to Gaining Freedom by
Pacific Means.


Montreal says:
If anybody had any doubts as to
the existence of an organization in
Montreal to secure the national indie
pendence of Canada those doubts may
now be dispelled. The Canadian In
dependence club is fact. Established
five months ago, it now has member
ship of more than zoo.
The club held monthly meeting the
other night. Its deliberations were pri-
vate, but there has leaked out some in
formation of what took place. The big
object of the meeting was to declare
the clubs constitution.
Itsis said that in March next there
will be a convention for the object of
federating all the groups ard clubs
of the Dominion. Until then the chief
work will be to group individuals favor
able to the independence movement
throughout Canada; that is, to obtain
the cooperation of all those who favor
the securing of national independence
by pacific means.
A communication from an organizer
was shown to the reporter, in which il
presidential election a non-partisan
meeting of men high in the political
" orld in the city of New York was held
there. Great Importance had been at
tached to the recent dispatch from Eng
land conveying the news that the Mon
roe doctrine had been recognized in con-
nection with the Venezuelan question.
THE acceptance of the motto Amer
lea for Americans would" said the let
ter, certainly bring forth the princi
pie, Canada for Canadians
Mr.. Roebuck was also cited as show
ing the disadvantage of colonial ties
in his celebrated book: The Colonies OF
England"
The colonist has no colony, the place
where he was born and where he has to
linger out his life unknown to fame
has no history, no past glory, no pres
ent renown. What there is of note is
England's. Canada is not nation.
She is colony; the satellite of mighty
star, Great Britain, in whose brightness
she is lost. If. then, the Canadian looks
for honor in any of these various
fields he must seek it as an Englishman;
he must forget and desert his country
before he can become known to fame"
The new party believes that all Cana
dian racial and creed difficulties, such
as the separate school question, the
creation of irreconcilable clans, which
are always a barrier TO national prog
ress, originated from the present
colonial system.
In the clubs constitutions its main
object is given as an effort to obtain the
liberty and Independence of Canada by
legitimate and pacific means.
One clause of the constitution says:
Each club will have a roll upon which
shall be inscribed the following declara-
ton: II hereby sign, having read the pre-
amble of the constitution, and it meets
my heartiest approval. l afftX my sigma
ture, which shall guarantee my zeal and
fidelity to obtain the independence of Can
ada in conformity with the principles laid
down in the constitution which governs
this association"
At a meeting in January steps will
be taken to secure the Incorporation
of the club.

NINE CENTS AS A WEDDING FEE.
Surprise for a New Jersey Justice After
Uniting a Young Couple.

Surprise for a New jersey Justice After
Uniting a Young Couple.
I'VE want to get married." exclaimed
a young couple in unison to Police
Capt. Bamford at the West Orange, n.
j., police station late the other night.
The captain told the young man and the
blushing young woman that he was not
in a position to tie the knot, but a mes
senger was sent to the home of Police
Justice Condit, nearly mile away. The
Justice had retired for the night, but
dressed himself and answered the sum-
mons.
The first question the bridegroom
asked the Justice as he entered the court
was: "How much do you charge, judge,
to marry people?"
"Oh, anything, from so cents up"
said the magistrate, laughing.
A consultation between the would
be bride and bridegroom followed, and
then the latter finally said: "All right,
we are ready" and the two were made
man and wife. AS the certificate was
handed to the bride by the justice the
bridegroom dropped a dozen pieces of
coin into his hand, and the two left the
court.
After counting over the pennies AMI
nickels the man had given him the
Justice discovered that he had so cents.
Cost of the certificate and other eH-
penses reduced the magistrates fee to
nine cents. He said few things and
then went home.
