Perhaps in no case as yet recorded has the
efficiency of a popular remedy been found
SO clearly as in that of Mrs. Nora f. Hill.
While her condition, caused by a frightful
and distressing accident, places her beyond
the pale of perfect recovery, she has received
such marked relief that the story OF the &C.
cident and the sutferings resulting from it,
will be of more than ordinary interest to
thousands of invalids.
Mrs, Nora Z. Hill, before September 1893,
was a hale, hearty and strong woman, past
the middle age of life.
She tells the following story:
September l, 1898, while attending to
my duties about the house, a gasoline stove
which l had used for some time, suddenly
exploded, throwing the burning fluid over
me. Before my clothes which were on fire
could be torn of, my right arm and hand
were fearfully burned. This however, was
not my most serious injury, as | had inhaled
some of the flames, and ! found In" inside of
my mouth blistered. Ny hand and arm to
the elbow were burned 10 the bone, and my
physician believed amputation necessary,
but after weeks of great suffering, | was
spared the operation, and | have fairly good
use of my hand and arm now.
"Shortly after the process Of healing or
arm and hand, my stomach commenced to
give me trouble. | did not then realize what
it meant. After each meal | was seized
with a %cramping sensation, and then in a
few days there were frightful pains, which
threw me into clammy perspiration. For
eight months | was under the care of my
physician, battling hard with death. | had
lost SO pounds. was becoming a mere skele-
ton. my appetite was gone, and my nervous
system completely shattered.
~ lost confidence in everything, was
totally discouraged, and determined TO 90 TO
my former home, Grand Rapids, Michigan,
and have my old physician make an "Xami-
nation of my condition. He did so and
found that gastric ulcers Of the stomach had
formed. which he said were i2cu-alle, and
were liable to produce cancer at any time.
While in Grand Rapids the ulcers which
had formed in the stomach broke. which
produced vomiting Of large quantities of
blood and pus. This confined me to a sick
bed for several weeks. When | became
sufficiently strong to cet up ! came back
here to die, rs the doctor told mp | ,nI.ht

face bore an expression Of WEAKNESS.
He was carrlcssly dressed, and his uni

back from his chest. He held a lighted
cigar in his mouth and sat in a stoOp-

forward. His clothes were wet, and his

of an adventure with a bear in the wilds
Of Brown township. While Miss Lulu
Beaver was teaching the little country
school Of 20 pupils all were thrown into
a state Of panic by observing a good
sized bear entering the schoolroom.
Boys and girls alike dashed through the

quickly dispatched the animal. The
hide will be presented to the teacher. -

BISMARCK, April Gothic conference
between the railroad commissioners of
North Dakota and the general counsels
and traffic officials of the Northern Pa.
cihc and Great Northern, which was
held Tuesday, resulted in no agree

probably make up tariff sheets of its
own and demand that the railroads
adopt them. This the roads will surely
refuse to do, if, in the Judgment of the
officials, the tariffs are unjust. Then
will come a hard fight in the courts,
which will be carried, if need be, to
the supreme court of the United States.

BY MARTIAL LAW
Large Portion of Alaska Soon
to Be Placed Under Mill
tary, Control.
LaWlessnesS Feared as a Result
of the Great Rush to the
Gold Fields.
Determination For Such Action
Reached at a Late Cabi-
net Meeting.

WASHINGTON, Oct. q. THE president
win issue an order placing large dis
trict in Alaska, of which St. Michaels
will be the center, under the control Of
the military arm of the government.
BY this action the authorities believe
that the lawlessness feared as result
of the rush of the gold seekers to the
great Northwest Territory will be sup
pressed. The proposed military district
viii be about 100 miles square.
The determination to issue the order
was arrived at, it is said, at a cabinet
meeting. While no official reports of
anything but peaceful condition have
reached the department., private COM
munications from responsible parties
have convinced the authorities that
something more was necessary than
civilian rule. The authorities say that
offenses committed within the bounda-
ries of the district to be described by
the president in his order will subject
those responsible to arrest by the mill
tary and prosecution by civilian author
tiles before whom they will be brought.

.HUMOR OF THE HOUR.

A short time ago an old darby who
had been frequenter Of the hustings
court for years was before that court as
prisoner. His face was as serious as
if he knew that the sentence Of death
was to be pronounced upon him. When
the evidence was given in, the judge
questioned him as follows:
cold man, have you lawyer"
With look of abject pity on his face
and a silent plea for mercy depicted in
his countenance and just such as had
often moved his old master to forgive
ness when he had been caught in some
mischief he said:
'Nor, sub. l amt got no lawyer,
cause didn't hab no money for to git a
lawyer wild.
"Well, what have you got to say for
yourself?'' asked the judge.
Il amt got nothin to say, sub, 'cep'n

DIR. JACKSON'S OPINION.

The Reindeer the Only Solution of the
Transportation Problem in Alaska.
SEATTLE, Wash, Oct. 21.-Dr. Shell.
don Jackson, United States superintend-
ent of Alaskan schools, who has just
returned from Alaska, says: "There is
but one solution to she transportation
problem in Alaska and that is the REIN
deer. I believe that the mines of the
Yukon can never be fully developed
without the use of the reindeer. 1t is
my belief that the government could to
great advantage to the people living in
Alaska establish reindeer stations on
the Yukon all the way from Dyea to
St. Michaels. In this way mails could
be transported regularly and expedi-
tiously and the food supply would never
be allowed to get to that point where a
famine is imminent.

THE JAPANESE IN HA WAlI.

The issue between Hawaii and ia
pan over the question of Japanese
immigration into Hawaii is one Of
grave Importance.
There is reason to believe that ia
pan has entered upon a deliberate
policy of colonizing Hawaii, with a
view to subsequently taking posses
sion of it. The present Prime Minis
ter of Japan intimated such pur-
pose when he assumed his office, and
it is impossible to look upon the
steady influx Of Japanese laborers in
to the islands during the last few
months as anything else than carry
ing out this plan. The Japanese i'm
migration companies, through which
the work is being done, are, of course
unofficial, but they are differed by
men who have held high positions in
the Japanese Government, and they
are supplied with ample funds. Ac-
cording to Minister Thurston, the five
steamship lines which ply between
Japan and Hawaii each bring on the
monthly trips from three to five
hundred immigrants.
The government of Hawaii is hand
icapped by a treaty made betw cen
Japan and the former Governme MT of
Hawaii, under which the Japanese
were assured unlimited rights Of in
gress into Hawaii, and it was provid-
ed that the treaty could be abro Gated
save by the approval of both coun-
tries. To obviate this difficulty, the
Hawaiian Government passed law
prohibiting the landing of immigrants
who did not possess as much as $50
each. The next cargoes brought or
ders to the amount of 500 for each
immigrant upon the Japanese bank
in Hawaii. When the Government,
with shrewd suspicion that these
orders were bogus, and intended sim
ply to be taken up when presented,
refused to accept them as a compli
began to bring in 500 each in Japanese
currency, which is not current in Ha-
wall, which is redeemable at the
Japanese bank. This proceeding al
so was regarded as trick.
The latest news from Honolulu is
that the Hawaiian government, wsary
of these evasions, has refused to al
low the shipload of 500 immigrants
to la nd, and has directed their return
on the vessel which brought them.
If this policy is persisted in, it will
either end the difficulty or will occa
sion rupture with Japan. The prob
sus sho we'd that the Japanese are the
most numerous nationality in the is
land except the native Hawaiians;
and at the present rate of immigra-
ton it would not be long before they
constituted majority of the entire
opulation.-Journal.
