with this country. The present visit of
Admiral Beardslee in the flagship Phila-
deIphia to Valparaiso is thought to have
con tributed considerably to this result.
When the six months existence OF the
last commission, of which the then Swiss
Minister, Alfred de Claparede, was presl-
dent, came to an end after having disposed
of twenty-five cases every effort was
made by Secretary Gresham to induce
Chile to extend its term, but CaDinet
crisis occurring in that country Just at
that time it was found impossible to &C
compllsh anything in that direction.
At the instance of this Govern ment,
however, negotiations were resumed ana
eventually Chile proposed an arrangement
for the pro rata settlement of the remain
ing cases by the payment OF such amount
OF the face of the remaining claims as the
aggregate amount awarded by the COM
missioners on claims they had already set
tied bore to the face amount OF the claims
left over. Chile pointed out that England,
France, Spain and other countries had
found this method satisfactory with their
claims, but the Administration insisted
that every claim had TO be examined and
settled on its merits by a commission.
Chile then suggested a lump compromise,
and when this was also rejected, that Gov
eminent offered to agree to another COM
mission, provided it sat at Santiago, as
the claimants were mostly Americans,
and on condition that the claim OF the
North and South American Construction
Company should be ruled out.
Secretary Olney declined to consent to
either of these propositions and sought to
have the old commission rehabllltated as
far as John Goode. the American men,
Der, and Senior Cana, the Chilean MEM
Der, were concerned, with new president
in place of NJ. de Ciaparede, who had gone
nd hot q
continue from the point at which they
were interrupted after twenty-five cases
had been adjudicated.
Fortunately year ago it was found pos
sible to get rid of the North and South
American Construction Company i'm
pediments, as, by compromise. Senior
Cana paying Secretary Olney $3.50, QUO, this
was settled permanently. With this out
of the way it is understood that Chile has
at last consented 10 rehabilitate as far as
possible the old commission and have it
com plete its work next fail.

AGED LADY ABDUCTED.
Kept Prisoner and Taken kway BY
Relatives, With the Idea of Getting
Hold of Her Property.

CHICAGO, ILL, Jan. 10.-Mrs. e. W.
Wilson, the aged sister of G. G. P. Holden.
a prominent and wealthy Chicagoan, was
abducted nearly three weeks ago, and no
trace of her whereabouts has been dis
covered. Mrs. Wilson is woman OF
wealth and 70 wears of age. She holds a
great deal of property at Fort Madison,
Iowa, where she has lived until a year ago.
Thirty years ago, at Fort Madison, Mrs.
Wilson took into her home child named
Eta May, whose unnatural mother had
threatened to throw the little one into the
Mississippi River. Mrs. Wilson raised the
unfortunate child, but did not legally
adopt her. She was given fine education
and every advantage.
When she was grown she married a
man named Frank Trnesdell at Fort Mad
ison, Iowa. Her husband and her three
children are now at Fort Madison. Rela-
tlves of Mrs. Wilson claim that Mrs.
Truesdell has complete CONTROL over the
old lady, and charge the abduction to her.
For the purpose of getting Mrs. Wilson
away from the influence of her foster
daughter her relatives persuaded her to
come to Matteson, ILL.,, where she conld
live near her two brothers. About three
months ago she received call at her new
home from Mrs. Truesdell. 1t was at
night, and she was accompanied by Hal
E. Men iel, who, it is said. has since as
sumed the name of e M. Truesdell. They
came in a closed carriage. That night
they took Mrs. VIII on to Port Madison,
Iowa. Before the relatives realized what
was being done Mrs. Wilson had dis
charged e. Johnson, the old and reliable
agent of her estate, and had put Truesdell,
the husband of Eta May, into entire
charge.
Relatives immediately applied for the

NEW TO-DAY.
The SICK
ARE CURED,
The Depression Caused by
Disease Is DiSpeIed.

DISEASES. ESPECIALLY THOSE OF
II chronic nature, cannot be cured ex-
cept by treatment that strikes directly
at the root OF the trouble. The new, origi-
nal and marvellous method OF treating dis
eases that is pursued at the State Electro
Medical Institute is one that never fails.
The salutary effects of the treatment on
any disease are at once perceived and a
speedy and permanent cure is invariably
made in every case.
The treatment is medical and electrical
combined. The peculiar method of adj
ministering these two great curative rene
dies is a new, original, scientific discovery
of the Institute. 1t is used exclusively by
them and the most amazing results are
accomplished in the treatment and cure of
all diseases.
The Institute is spIendidly equipped
with every device known to the scientific
world for administering medical electric
ity. including large Static. Faradic and
Gatvanic batteries, Electric Belts, Body
Batteries and great variety of other
electric appliances that are manufactured
and used exclusively by the Institute In
their Electro Medical treatment. By
means of these electric batteries and APP
planes, vitalizing, life-giving electric
currents are used to aid in sending the
Institute medicines directly to the dis
eased organs and diseased parts of the
body.
The medicines prescribed at the Insti-
tute are perfect laboratory triumphs, for.
mulated from true appreciation of the
medicinal wants of the body; and when
these medicines are aided in their recu-
perating and healing work by electricity
scientifically applied, every symptom of
disease is rapidly disreIled, the patient
soon regains perfect health and strength,
while the depression caused by disease is
displaced by the happiness and pleasure
that is the natural heritage of those twin
blessings, "a sound mind in a sound
body"
Ii you are sick or ailing, if you want to
know what is the matter with you, and if
you want to be cured, you should resort
without DELAY to the State Electro Medical
Institute. The Institute TREATS AND
CURES Diseases of the Heart, Brain and
Nerves, Blood Diseases, Rheumatism, Ca
tarrh, Kidney Diseases, Throat Diseases
Stomach Diseases. Diseases OF the Liver,
Bowel Diseases. Eye Diseases, Ear Dis
eases, Diseases of Men, Diseases of Women,
