PRIME MINISTER TO JAILBIRD
Remarkable Career Of Man Who Once
Practically Ruled Abysinia

|
There has just been lodged in an Eng
lish Jail the only man who has tasted
the sweets of power a prime minister
wields and run the gamut Of crime that
ended with the convict's stripes. To
| William Houghton fell this remarkable
| experience. He is reputed to be on< of
| the most brilliant criminals and black
mailers in English police history.
! He was the prime minister of Abyssin-
| ia, the chief adviser of King John. His
! word was law and he was so powerful
he could order the execution of the king
and his immediate relatives. Hough-
| ton first achieved notoriety in 1876 In
| that year he journeyed from England
! to Egypt with Major Barlow who had
| been an officer of the Yorkshire yeoman-
! ry. Both hao planned a program of ad-
venture that was as daring as 1t was
dangerous.
At that time the relations between the
khedive and the king of Abyssinia were
very strained. Houghton and his part
| ner made their way to Abyssinia and in
| gratiated themselves with King John.
| Major Barlow was the first of the two
to gain prominence, for he induced the
| king to place him at the head of the
Abyssinian army. HoughtOn soon be-
came King Johns political adviser and
| later prime minister. Barlows army
was the famous brigade of Amazons
| The Englishmen soon found them
| selves thoroughly established with roy
atty and people. They appropriated
| gold and silver and ivory from the stores
| of the kings subjects, sparing no one
! but the king himself Wealth achieved,
| the adventurers turned their attention
to politics and very soon had the Egyp-
tian government and King John by the
ears. They stopped at nothing. Their
daring was sufficient to overcome any
obstacle. Their advice, no matter how
| extraordinary, was always taken, and
| the commotion Abyssinia created under
| their practical suzerainty was such that
| all Europe was agitated.
Uninterrupted success made them bold
and they induced the king to give them
large quantity of gold dust. which they
placed to their credit in a bank at Ber-
| lin, Germany In 1885 the Egyptian gov
| ernment made up its mind that there
could be no peace with Abyssinia until
! the two Englishmen were out of the
! country They were seized and taken to
| Cairo and, after q trial, banished
| posed as the accredited representative
of the king of Abyssinia, lived luxur-
| iously and was socially honored
! At last, however, the French police ar
rested Houghton for backmail and he
| was sent to prison for two months. In
| the fall of 1888 he made his way to Eng
| land. A short time ago he tried to black
mail a London broker, was arrested.

CONSUMPTION CURED
Abundant Evidence by Re-
liable People
As to the Efficiency OF Dr.. Bal.
Iard's Improved Koch's
TubercuIin

The remarkable cures Of consumption
heretofore made by DR.. Ballard con-
tinue to be repeated, and the number
of people who owe their life and health
to him Is constantly increasing. Some
of the details Of DR.. Ballard's expert
ence with the disease in his own case, of
his study into the remedies in use, and
his improvements upon the original
Koch's Tuberculin, have been previous
ly published, and the facts are too gen.
orally we'll known to the public to need
further explanation.
The high estimation which the public
holds Of DR.. Ballard and his wonderful
results Is shown by the continued and
increasing patronage given him.
How we'll DR.. Billiards. treatment of
his patients succeeds is best left to the
patients themselves to be told A few
testimonials are appended. They are
from people who can be seen and ques-
toned.
The facilities for the treatment Of all
diseases Of the respiratory organs which
exist in the Office of DR.. Ballard are un-
excelled. Every disease of the air
passages receives specific treatment,
and tuberculosis is treated by the use
Of specific remedies, which, injected
into the blood. act as direct antidotes
to the germs and cause their death and
removal In addition. by the use of
specially devised apparatus, the bron-
chial tubes. which are more or less OBJ
structed with collections Of mucous and
pus, all laden with the germs of disease
in one or more forms, are thoroughly
cleansed by forcible dilation with heat
ed air The heated air both destroys
ana removes the germs. They cannot
exist and flourish when high tempera-
ture Is reached and the superheated air
thus inhaled effectualfy destroys all
germs either present in the mucous or
located near the surfaces Of the bron-
chial tubes and in the pulmonary tissue
itself, which comes in immediate con-
tact with the superheated air in the
alveoli. This forcible alveolar disten-
sion also serves to remove small col
lectiors of mucous and pus which, IL
left, being permeated by the germs, be-
come a sort of focus where further
suppuration and destruction of lung
tissue may result. ALL these collec-
tions of matter are thus kept constantly
removed and the disease Is accordingly
constantly limited.
The repair of damaged tissues is fur
ther aided by the direct application to
the diseased surfaces of remedies to as
sist the processes of repair the air in
faled being medicated and administer
ed under pressure. Persons suffering
from lung troubles are invited to call
and examine this apparatus, and DR..
Ballard's facilities for treating all dis
eases OF the air passages.

WHEN completed, the sale of the
Union Pacific railroad will have paid
back to the Government principal
and interest at 6 per cent. This "in.
vestment" was made about thirty
years ago, and how many Investments
of that length of time could have
panned out better? When the ma
tiOnal advantages resulting from the
construction of this road are consid.
cred, the investment on the part Of
the United States would not have
been bad one if no part of the prin
eipal or interest had been paid. It'll
