Mr.. L. Wilbur, Snohomish City. Dear
Sir: We wish to add testimonial in
favor OF your Blood Puriefier. Two
years ago this summer our son Ernest,
aged 10 years, became affected with
chronic eczema caused by impure blood.
We secured the services of the best
physicians. and all agreed, that his case
was hopeless. After spending n large
amount OF money this way, we con-
cluded to try your purifier, of which,
i've bottles completely cured him, and
eradicated every faint Of the dreadful
disease. When he commenced taking
your medicine, his body and limbs were
literally covered with large ugly sores
and the muscles OF his legs bad become
contracted to such an extent that the
poor boy was almost bed-ridden. Last
year symptoms of scrOfula appeared
again. We immediately ordered a f>w
bottles and gave him. Now he is per.
fectly sound and well. We eheerfully
recommend WilbHr's Blood Purifier as
being the best blood medicine on the
market 1t should be kept in every
home. Respectfully yours,

THERE are indications that France

inevitable that the Graeeo-Turkish con-
fiict would create a strain on the friend
ship OF these powers. Apparently
Russia has been unfriendly TO Greece,
~hile France is necessarily in the oppo

survive this struggle, even if both powers
keep out OF the conflict. There is room

LAUGH AT STARKWEATHEH.
Aldermen at West Superior Refuse

WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, May 3D.
Mayor .Starkweather, foiled in his at
tempt to count quorum at his special
council meeting, will renew the at
tempt next week After last nights
session, the seventh without a quorum
the aldermen adjourned, after voting
that hereafter if the mayors calls
are not obeyed, the absentees shall be
arrested forthwith This is a notice
of the mayors intentions.
At last nights meeting City Attorney
McHugh advised Starkweather that
the minority present was empowered
to compel absentees to attend, and that
if the regular police department re-
fused to do it's duty special officers
might be sworn in. This the mayor
was prepared to do. and had warrants
ready to place in willing hands. Had
he done so trouble would have ensued,
as the opposition is determined to re-
sist the mayors authority and would
have been backed by the authority Of
sheriffs. The decision arrived at was
to await next weeks developments and
see If -Starkweather aldermen
would come into the meeting.
Mayor Starkweather's position is pc
culiar the police department preeti-
cally refusing to execute his COM
mands When ordered to arrest an
alderman, Chief Crumpton declined.
Owing to the fire and police commits
sion law Starkweather is unable to sus-
pend the chief Of police and cannot en-
force his own orders. Starkweatf1er
will have special police ready to make
a quorum next week, as the regular
force is considered favorable to absen-
tees.

There has been brought to the coun-

who has the body Of child, yet the
intelligence Of maturity. Newton Reed

When between five and six years old
he had inf1ammatory rheumatism, and
his body stopped growing. In all the
years since he has had the best Of
health and has been cognizant of all
about him. His body Is the same as
when the disease afflicted him. about
the size Of six-year-old child. It Is
smooth, weak, and the tiny limbs are
practically useless, though he does use
his arms for some things. But the
curious fact is that his head has
grown normally. 1t Is as large as that
Of the average man, q thick beard
grows on it, requiring frequent shaw
Ing to keep it down to the dark mus
tache that adorns his face. The feat
ures are regular and his mind is
bright and quick. He can read and
write, and talks Of the current events
of the day intelligently. But all
through the years he has lain in a
crib or little bed and is unable to raise
himself. The physicians think he will
never Improve, but that he will live
to old age. He is cheerful and pleas
ant, never repining at his fate. For
many years the county has supported
him, allowing him, to live with re-
latives. The removal of his relatives
from the county made it necessary to
care for him at the poor farm.

A DRAWING ROOM.
l Wearisome Function That Most
People Are Eager to Attend.

On March II, 1896, the first drawing room
OF that year was held at Buckingham palace.
Through the courtesy Of the lord chamberlain
I was given the entree to the palace on that
day, says the scribner's for May. AS draw
ing room Is strictly feminine affair, it mat
tiers very little what man may think about
1T, for the fine points of social advantages
and the costly costumes he seldom under
stands Apart from the foreign ambassadors,
members Of the cabinet and attendants men
are not wanted and are seldom seen. Wom-
en- go in hundreds, and sit for hours in car
riages, extending in long rows down the
Mall while crowd of curious idlers stare
in at the carriage windows, making audible
personal remarks. At 2 O'Clock the palace
gates are open, and the waiting continues in
the different rooms above stairs. These rooms
are divided by barriers, guarded by gentle
men of the household, which prevents over
crowding. II is an extraordinary sight to see
room after room filled with nervous young
girls and their more composed mothers sit
ting in the unbecoming light of an after
noon sun, with white plumes in their hair
and all the family jewels on their necks.
With the exception Of now and then whis-
pered conversation, everything Is quiet until
the barriers leading into the next room are
opened then rush follows, and small pieces
Of lace spangles, flowers and ostrich feathers
are left on the floor. Mothers and daughters
are separated. After the confusion Of find
ing each other, all is quiet for another thirty
minutes, when rush for better place in
the next room begins.

While the deal is announced as a
consolidation Of the two banks, it is
in effect a liquidation Of the Metropold-
tan Ma tional bank through the National
Bank Of Commerce.
In explanation of the liquidation, Mr..
J. K Burnham, president Of the Metro
politan National, in an interview to-
night, had this to say: while on the
face of the transaction it is merely a
voluntary liquidation and the winding
up of the affairs of the Metropolitan
National it lis actually and practically
a union Of two OF the most powerful
financial institutions of the city"
Though such are the statements
made by interested bank officials, 1t is
shown that the Metropolitan National
has been doing a losing business for
six months past. The failure Of the
Missouri National bank six months ago
was the cause Of a lively run upon
the Metropolitan, and though the bank
weathered the storm at that time its
business since has not been profitable.
The terms of the consolidation are not
made known, but it Is stated tonight
that the transa ction has been effected
at a loss to stockholders in the Metro
politan National.
