FREE CURE FOR MEN.
A Michigan Man Offers to Send His
Discovery Free.
Claims To be a Benefactor 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 pricip9l 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
ty which such men are peculiarly liza
BILE 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 that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize
what might be the final result, ought
to be deeply interested In 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, 1t
would seem that all men suffering
with any form Of nervous weakness
ought to write for such a remedy at
once.r,A request to a.. Q. Odds. 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 Enr sfEsrsr5
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.

TUESDAY. MARCH .. 1897.

John Sherman and Mckinley have
not been talking for the papers, Meth
or will they plunge this country in
war with Spain needlessly. but Spain
will be put to the proof, and if out
RACES are continued upon American
citizens she will answer. All the forces
of the naval and military arms of the
government will be at the back of her
representatives to defend the lives of
Americans on Cuban soil and in all
Spanish territory. If Spain forces
war she can have it. The whole re-
spOnsibility therefor will rest with
her. This is about the size of it.

The Democratic correspondents at
Washington are an unusually farsee-
ing set of penwipers. A knowledge OF
what the Senate is going to do in the
matter of tariff, before that Senate is
seated, is among the least of their
wonderful dips into the future and as
far as eye can see. These Daniels Of
the pen. not of the den,
can now put their finger on
every Republican senator. note the
moving of his pulse, hard or soft,
strong of weak, steady or inteImit-
tent. on this tariff matter and issue
their bulletins beforehand of how each
one is going to act and speak when
the time comes. There is only one
fault with their predictions. They lie.
Either the types will not tell the truth
for them or they do not tell the truth
to the types. 1t matters little which
of these fatal defects is the correct
one. they vitiate all prognostics.

CisnerOs as president of the real Gu
ban republic shows that his govern
ment is more than name. They have
established government, postal SER
vice, a taxation system, schools, man
ufactories for clothing, saddles, shoes
and other military equipment absolute
control of four provinces and are max
ing good progress in their revolution.
The army is under the control of the
government, and between the two
there is the most perfect harmony
and unbrOken confidence. CisnerOs
is a native Cuban, one of the old and
most respected families and in every
way vigorous, although IS years of
age. The government reports itself
satisfied with the conduct of the Jun
tn in the United States as also with
the general in command, and that but
one spirit animates them all, the de-
sire and determination to see Cuba Il
free republic.

TAKE THEM ALL IN.

Every dollar that San Antonio eX-
ponds in caring for the strangers who
have accepted her hospitality for next
week, will be money put out at a rate
turns. The cattlemen we all know,
and that they will be welcomed with
opened arms and houses goes without
saying The people of Texas always
have warmed to the people who have
made her largely what she is, or at
least laid the foundation for her pres
ent prosperity in those remote days
when herding cattle on these far-away
plains was no holiday job. San Anto.
Mo is ready to make the cattlemen
feel that they have reached the home
ranch, after a month on the trail. The
known, but they are the coming direc-
tors of the travel of these United
States, and if they say so that travel
will take the San Antonio trail in a
way that will pile up dollars for our
people 1t is important that they find
the latch string out and n hearty, old
fashioned welcome at the end of their
journey They have paid this city no
small compliment in riding a rail so
far to make our acquaintance and that
their compliment is appreciated can
only be shown by our generous and
hospitable reception of them. 1t is
not so much what we Ito as how it
is done. Manner is Il great matter.
The welcome that they will feel, is
what is needed. To know that we are
really proud of their selection of our
city, and proud of our city as we'll will
very readily be seen provided our well
come is genuine. They VIII respond
to our satisfaction in their own way.
The tourists are only passing through,
but we can meet them and shake their
extended hands and bid themwelcome
to all that our city has to show them
and wish them happy journey to the
end of their destination. These things
come cheap to whOle-hearted men and
they pay city good dividends Hos
pitality to strangers is the first virtue
of mercantile communities.

party care much more for the manner
in which the offices shall he admin

them but they cannot help remarking

is no political law against their rush,

third ward of Councilman r. L. Wood.
the opposing candidate. Mayors elect
Moulton has been member Of the board
of aldermen for three years; is Demo-
craft, but ran only as an independent on
nomination papers.
The principal opponent was Roswell L..
Wood, local auctioneer, who was elected
to the common council last December: He
had already made record for himself as
a reformer, attacking many customs and
many city officials. He is a Republican,
but as the Republican city committee re-
fused to hold oaucuses he too ran on
nomination papers. The socialists nomi-
mated James f. Carey, who received the
ordinary vote of that party.
In addition to the election of a mayor
an alderman was elected to succeed
Mayor-elect Moulton. Councilman @. H.
Atwood, brother-in-law of the mayor
elect, resigned his seat to try his opponent
and defeated him. In ward two the seat
in the council made vacant by Atwood S
resignation was filled by the election of
George l. Kelley over Ned F. Senter by a
vote of $50 to Ia. The total vote for
mayor was. Moulton, 2128; Wood, 1 ,737
Carey, 604. For alderman, Hartwell, 2O82

COLLISION IN MID OCEAN.
Danish Steamer HekIa Runs Down the
+ MIssis sippi.

New York, June 1.-The Atlantic
transportation line steamer Mississippi.
Capt. Cannons, which sailed from Lon
don, May 90 with general cargo and
six cabin passengers, arrived in port this
afternoon with her port and quarter
stove in, rails bent and twisted and her
after decks smashed into kindling wood,
the result of collision which almost
came near sinking the steamer in mid
ocean. Capt. Cannons reported that on
last Thursday, May 81, in lat. 1923, long.
461 Is at 5.44 p. m. during thick fog, he
was in collision with the Danish steamer
Hekla, Capt. Laub, which sailed from
New York, May %, for Christianna.
The Hekla struck the Mississippi on
the port quarter bow on, tearing large
hole in the steamers stern, smashing
the deck, carrying away rails and doing
other damage. Owing to the density OF
the fog neither vessel sighted the other
and before collision could be avoided
the Hekla struck the steamer almost over
the propeller. The Hekla quickly cleared
from. the Mississippi and disappeared
from sight in the fog.
Meanwhile she reported that her bows
were stove and she would proceed for
the nearest port. 1t was claimed by the
people on board of the Mississippi that
she was running in the prevailing fog
under reduced speed and that the Hekla
was also proceeding with her engines at
reduced speed. No one was injured.

sity of making six moves IN thirteen
minutes, but soon caught up, and had
time to play studiously. When the an
nouncement of the result of his game
came, the cheers of the spectators Tiled
the room for several minutes.
