She knows the incalculable value OF
health, strength and high spirits as
thoroughly as she comprehends the
terms OF her contracts, and no one
knows better than she how essential

Nine. Bernhardt writes the following
letter:

Paine's celery compound and / am

nerve strengthener that can be found.
1t is with the greatest pleasure that

buffers and sugars his children's bread
when there is no sugar nor butter nor

OF reform is repulsive. He has floated
so far away from the things that go
along with reform that he regards
them as belonging to weak and
childish class of men who keep sober
because they haven't brains enough
to get drunk nor strength enough to
fight the manly fight that he is max

carry all to the top OF the summit.
This mountain is 1890 feet high. and
as we look down the steep slope we
are indeed glad that we have reached
the top since now we are to descend.
ana down-hill work is easier than up
hill when the hills are mountains.
Descending we come to a chain of
seven lakes. viz: Chicago lake. Crater
lake. Linderman lake. Lake Bennett.
rakow lake. Mud.lake and Lake Marsh.
The first named is about 1000 feet
above the sea level and is suitable for
passage any time Of the year. The
depth of water is not known. and be-
ing bowlshaped causes one to think at
some remote period it was the crater
OF volcano. From here to Crater
lake is over low mountain; no yoge-
tation with the exception of an oeea-
sional dwarf pine. This lake is three
and one-half miles in length and a
quarter mile wide. Its sides are
mountains and represent a canyon.
Two miles further on is Lake Under
mann which is 800 Il or than
Chicago lake and 200 lower than Graf
er lake. Between these two are sew
eral large waterfalls and as we listen
to the water plunge, one gets faint
idea of the grandeur OF the Niagara.
At Lake Lindermann the timber is
small though used for making BOATS
by parties coming over late in the
season. Those coming earlier can
sleigh as far as Bennett lake Here
the timber is larger and several saw
pits are erected. In course ola weeks
time we will have our boats ready for
further passage. HENRY ELwELL.

DR.. MCEIwee's Cures.

The great success Of DIR. McEtwee in
curing disease is truly wonderful.
The very worst cases are those which
he seems TO delight in restoring to
health. Perhaps no case has been
more striking than OF Mr.. Ellis who
was a nervous wreck. He had not
been able to work for a year and was
completely discouraged. He had Sc
we're pains in the back and chest, and
was dizzy and his stomach and bowels
were always bloated. lie had lost
flesh until he was skeleton. When
he consulted DR. MeElwee he hadn't
bit Of hope, but he has been agreeably
surprised. In conversation the other
day he said he never felt better in his
life and thinks he would never been
any better if he had not consulted Or.
McElwee when be did.
The doctors wonderful success is
said to be due to the special remedies
he has which cure bad diseases when
all ordinary form Of treatment fail
The doctor said recently that even in
consumption he got cures in cases
that were thought utterly hopeless.

The KeeleU Law Invalid.

The Supreme court on Tuesday re-
lieved the legislature of one of the
sources Of promised great contention
by declaring the ''Keeley Cure Law
unconstitutional, on a case appealed
by Milwaukee county Not less than
dozen bills for the repeal of the law
had been introduced or were in the
hands of members, and some of the
strongest members of both houses
were known to be in favor of some
measure of similar character as
compromise. The opinion of the
court is written by Chief Justice Cass-
oday and goes into the merits of the
question with much detail Cure
bills are pending in Milwaukee county
alone to the amount of nearly $25, 1000
and enough others in other counties,
it is said. to bring the total amount
due the Kelley Cure institution up to
$45, 600 of 100000. This removes all
further controversy in this matter.
The institution to which these in
ebriates have been committed will
have to stand the loss incident to this
decision. The Milwaukee case was
made test for all the counties of the
state, in accordance with stipulation
entered into between +. f. Chaplin,
attorney for the Kelley institutes, and
the several counties, by the terms of
which all the other cases were held in
allegiance pending the decision of the
Milwaukee case.
In some of the counties of the state
the matter of committing inebriates
was left to a committee of the Board
Of Supervisors to investigate the char
acter and antecedents of the person
committed and in these counties the
bills are paid without question.
