tered their nerves so that they are sexually

grip, and the mastery that they should
possess, as men, has deserted them.
Men In this condition naturally worry and
fret until worry brings on lunscy, and all this

who. under pretenss OF curing the patient.
only take their money and fail to give them
an equivalent in sexual strength. The reason
is that they do not possess n remedy adequate
TO cure the disease, Q disease which has baf-
fed the skill OF the greatest physicians OF the

dies In vain, but by our secret method OF
treatment cure was Effected which proved
permanent.
Another striking case was that Of man OF
26 who was anxious to be married, but was
really not in sexual condition. We treated
him In the same way and in 81 days his lost
vigor was restored, and instead OF habbY
nerves he had nerves OF steel. and shortly
afterwards was happily married. In thous.
ands OF cases we have tried our method, and
have failed in only nine or ten cases. and
these were beyond help. They had had waited & too
useless remedies, or so-called Free Cures"
or prescriptions. until the entire nervous sys.
tenn was Ia utter collapse.
Our secret remedy we now put up In the
shape OF pills, called The Old DR.. Haliocf
Electric Pills. so that they can bs easily car
ried in the vest pocket. The pills are COM
posed OF the most expensive drugs. and are
infused with electricity in such n way that
they operate on the nerves and affected parts

CANADA AND THE YUKON.
Canadian Minister Of Interior on Way to Con-
suit With Washington Officials.

Ottawa. Ont, Dec. 26-The Hon.
Clifford Sifton, minister Of the interior.
who will leave here, today, for Wash
ington, will be accompanied by j. A. J.
McKenna, secretary of the department
Mr.. Sifton will discuss with the
United States government the question
of ingress to the Yukon, the customs
regulations, and variety of subjects.
1t is the wish of the Canadian gov
eminent that United States authorities
and themselves should work harmoni-
ously in matters affecting the Yukon.
Some time ago. an officer of the
United States was here to interview
the government about sending supplies
to Dawson, and this will also be dis
cussed by Mr.. Sifton in Washington.
The latest news from Maj Walsh is
not of a very comforting character
The major and party were stranded at
Big Salmon river on their way to Fort
Selkirk. Capt. Norwood had to be sent
to Skaguay for more provisions.
1t will be impossible for Maj. Walsh
to get beyond Fort Selkirk this winter.
He cannot possibly reach Dawson. The
latest news from Dawson is that many
hundreds have been induced to leave,
and yet there is not food enough for all
who have stayed.
When a party equipped as Maj.
Walsh was failed to get to Dawson, it
is difficult to see how supplies can be
put through.

A Se0.O0o,ooO SCHEME.
A Chicago Engineer Has New Plan For Build
ing Nicaraquan Canal.

Chicago. Dec. 26.--Lyman +. Cooley. Il
well-known civil engineer. has started to
enlist capital in the building of the Mica
ragua canal as a business proposition.
with what he believes is Il certain income
in sight to justify the expenditure of $50 =
900 000
The renewal of constructive work on
the canal with Chicago capital is she
basis of the project
Mr.. Cooley was one of the engineers of
the Chicago drainage canal. and is shin
canal champion He has been prominent
in connection with ship canal projects to
connect the lakes with the Gulf and the
Atlantic ocean.
He has interested f. +. Cragin, and
with several engineers and contractors.
they will sail from New York for Mica
ragua on Thursday.
Mr. Cragin assisted in getting money
for the Worlds Fair and the Grant mon
ument in New York.
The trip will be along the route for the
canal laid out by Warner Milers COM
pany. Before the party returns to the
United States, it is hoped to have a fair
idea of the cost of construction and of
the obstacles to be overcome on the Gulf
side.
With many of Colonel Ludlow's deduc-
tiohs Mr. Cooley does not agree. and he is
confident the objections which the com
mission raised and which President
Cleveland made the grounds for opposing
government aid to the canal. will be
found to be exaggerated.
rhe party will go unhampercd by alli-
al 2 with the old company or with con-
gressional champions.

A LUCKY CAPTURE.
Officer Simpson, Watervi|Ie,
Lands a Young Jail Breaker.
Gives Name as Willie King--Says
Jail Was in New Hampshire.
Is Young Gut Has Evidently Seen Consider.
able Of the World.

Waterville, Me-, Dec. 26.-(SpeciaD.-
Police Officer George Simpson, on duty
at the Maine Central station. made
lucky capture, last night, of a young
man wanted for theft and jailbreaking
in New Hampshire. Officer Simpson
was patroling the railroad yard, up
past the round house about 10 o'clock,
when he caught sight of a man steal
ing along in the shadow of the long
lines of freight cars.
Simpson quickened his pace little
and was fast gaining on the party
when the latter discovered the officer
and started on the run. Simpson
managed to get in and out among the
box cars faster than his quarry and
finally got near enough to hail him.
Hi there" sang out the officer. Il
want you and the stranger stopped
Simpson started for the police station
with his man. intending to hold him
for attempting to force open box car,
as the officer saw him apparently
working on a car door. AS the pair
approached the station Simpson said
to his prisoner:
What did you do with that bicycle
that you stole?'
Il didn't run away for that" was the
reply
This was staggerer for Simpson
and the only question he could then
think to ask was:
What did you run for them
I'VE didn't want to stay in Jail any
longer
This was another one for the officer
but by propounding several sharp
questions he drew out the young fell
lows story. Later the prisoner told
the same story to the Journal. which
in substance is as follows:
His name is Willie King in English
Roy in French. He was arrested last
summer. for stealing a bicycle from his
brother-n-law. Thomas Campbell, in
Exeter. n. H, and was bound over to
await trial. He with - others We're
confined in Exeter Jail, and one night
in August. one of the prisoners who

succeeded in making a hole in the cell

IlfouSH inns Iiblt Mig, NISti
Duby, another prisoner called Barney
and a fourth whose name King says
he can not remmeber. passed out upon
the roof and by means of a blanket
rope. lowered themselves to thu ground
King says he at once separated from
the others and proceeded To the sea
shore, found work on an ocean steamel
as cattle tender, and went to Liverpool.
He took passage for England on Sep
tember ~ and he has in his possession
a discharge from the steamship com
'pany. dated Dec. ].
King claims to be but 16 years cid.
but he looks to be considerably more
than that. He was in PittSfield, Sat
urday night. coming to this city. Sun
day, on the afternoon freight from
Bangor.
King could not remember the name
of the jailor from whom he escaped,
neither did he know the name of the
Exeter chief of police. He told Officer
Simpson that he made an unsuccessful
attempt to get away from the police
once by knocking an officer over. but
the officer drew his gun and he sur
rendered.
