To the public: l was seriously afflicted
ior I,r about 1, ten years with lung liver anu anu
press the misery I endured during those
years. I was reduced in flesh until was
mere skeleton. My sight and hearing
troubled with constipation and piles, and
had severe chronic cough. In short, life

had no faith in Chinese doctor but it
took only a few doses of his lfe-giving
herbs to knock all the skepticsm out of
me. In just five weeks the doctor pronoun-
ced me cured. and now can truthfully say
better In my life My sight and hearing
are both fully restored: that obnoxious
cough, constipation and piles are entirely
cured. and am rapidly gaiting in flesh,
having gained forty pounds in two months.

skeptics to give the doctor trial and be
convinced of his superior skill as a ply

JOHN NJ STEVENSON.
620 Bellevue avenue, Los Angeles, Cal.
To the Public: I take pleasure in tes-
tifying to my marvellous recovery under
the treatment of DR.. Wong Him of $50
Upper Main ST., Los Angeles, from a num-
ber of stubborn ailments. among which
were cnrAnlc Slck-neauacneS, dyspepsia
and kindred stomach troubles. heart affec-
ton and kidney disease. But what con-
slider this physician execlled in, so far as
my case is concerned, was in the restora-
tion of my eye service. Astigmatism,
coupled with other disorders, was my af-
Fiction in this respect, and, although a
number of we'll known skilled oculists in
some of the larger cities of this country
advised me I should always have to de-
pend upon glasses and receive but poor
service even then, DR.. Wong Him's rem
edies have enabled me to abandon totally
the use of any artificial help to sight. and
my eyes continue to give such service,
both for near work and distant as is truly
wonderful. To the skill and remedies of
the physician named can alone be attrb-
uted a revolution in my physical condition
throughout that puzzles those who knew
of the 'incurable" character of my ar
fiictlons. Respectfully,

CHICAGO MARKET.
The Days Transactions on the Board OF
Trade


CHICAGO, Jan. 12.-In wheat Liverpool
opened only u to " lower than it closed the
day before, Notwithstanding the 1ss drop
here. Because of such relative firmness
abroad the market here opened firm at
from SOas to soy for May and from X to *s
above the point 1t closed at on Monday.
AS, however. the northwestern receipts
gave indication of increasing the foreign
news was not found sufficient to maintain
the advance against the vigorous selling
with which 1t was Immediately attacked.
May yielded slowly but surely until IL
went to so and then dropped another to
79%, the lowest price at which II ruied Tor
some time. That was the turning point
however, for after the first selling furry
ceased the news of the day began to nave
its effect and the price recovered cent
almost as fast as 1t had gone the otner way
One of the strong factors was an Argentine
cable from the representative of the Deer
Ing Harvester company in Argentine, who
reported that the crop there was q failure
and that the export surplus would not ex-
ceed II, 000, 900 bushels and would probably
not be more than 100000. Another encour-
aging feature was the sale of 100, 600 bushels
Of cash wheat here for prompt shipment
to the seaboard by rail. as we'll as the
Europe. This was influential In putting
the price up to S1h by 11:3 o'clock. There
was some reaction after that on realizing.
but In the main prices were firmly held to
the close of the session. May finally sold
to 80N and closed at that figure. Corn was
firm. but dull, the strength coming princi-
paliy from the advance in wheat. The
opening In oats was firm and the feeling
throughout the session was indicative Of
strength. This feeling was mainly in SYM
pathy with wheat. The action of provis-
ions rather disgusted the bulls. The de-
mand which was characteristic of yester-
days market has disappeared today and
most of the purchasers realized on their
lines. Estimated receipts Wednesday:

CRIME OF A FARM HAND.
shoots His Former Employer and Three
Other Persons.


Milwaukee, May 0.-Alexander Har-
rs, farmer, living five miles south Of
Waukesha, ON the the Mukwonago
road, and his wife, We're murdered this
morning when at breakfast. A hired
man was wounded, but escaped. A
hired girl was also wounded, and it
likely to die.
The crime was committed by William
Pouch, farmland. Pouch worked for
Harris about two years ago. Last night
At his request he was given lodging over
night.
About . o'clock this morning Harris
and hired man went to the ward TO
milk the COWS. Mrs. Harris and the
girl were preparing breakfast. Pouch
left his room quietly, and. going to the
yard, babe the men there good morn
ing. Harris and the hired man were
sitting on stools near each other.
Pouch drew his revolver and fired at
the farmer, killing him. He then shot
the hired man, intlicting probably a
fatal wound.
Pouch then walked leisurely to the
kitchen. He told Mrs. Harris her hus-
band would not be in for few minutes
and he would eat his breakfast at once.
The woman waited upon the murderer.
who seemed 10 relish his meal.
After breakfast Pouch started to walk
toward the door. Before Mrs. Harris
realized what was about to happen he
wheeled around and shot her in the
breast. He then fired at the hired
girl. The farmers wife died soon af.
forwards. The hired girl has chance
for recovery. Pouch then rode away ON
bicycle.
a posse of farmers is in hot pursuit.
The farmers are greatly excited and
enraged. and should they get hold of
the murderer he will undoubtedly be
lynched.
The supposition OF the authorities is
that Pouch is either insane or commit
ted the murdererS in order to hide the
evidence of another crime. The man
ner in which the murders We're COM
mitted shows plainly that Pouch DELHI
erately arranged his plans. Harris was
quite well to do. Pouch worked for
him in the summer of 1895. but nothing
occurred rs far as known to cause
enmlty between them. Pouch is 90
years OF age. The name of the hired
man who was shot is Nelson McHolt.
The girl is Helen Nesback.
Latest reports from Mukwonago state
Mrs. Harris was not instantly killed
as at first stated, and may recover.
There is little hope for Nelson McEIolt,
the hired man, and Helen Vesback,
the girl

Olympia, Wash, May 1o.-The
members Of the board OF control this al
ternoon received formal request from
the governor to resign. This action is
desired by Governor Rogers as result
Of the recent occurrences that render
harmonious action impossible.
One Of the board said tonight that the
members had not decided what action
they would take, but they would hold
a conference as soon as practicable, and
agree upon a course, when they would
all stand together.
The governor said that he did not
care at this time to enter into discus
sion OF the difficulties that have made
it impossible for him tc act fur Ter
with the board as it is now constituted.
The members OF the board will doubt
less decide soon whether they will resist
the governor or quietly acquiesce in
his rcQreSt.

box containing 200 pounds OF dynamite
on fire, ten feet away from him, John
Thomas. a boy who runs a compressed
air hosting engine in the Tamarack
mine, stuck to his post and saved the
lives of the men at work in the mine
by his bravery.
Ten seconds after Thomas had hoisted
the men to the level the dynamite ex.
ploded, smashing the engine to pieces
and doing other damage, but the men
and the boy to whom they owe their
lives We're safe.
The miners working in the 23d level
had put seven casts OF dynamite in a
box for future use. At noon a miner
accompanied by Thomas went to his
post, gave the alarm to the miners in
the level below and ran his engine UNI
til he had hoisted them out. He then
fed. The alarm Of fire caused great ex-
element, but no miners were injured
in the rush to reach daylight from a
depth OF 3, 1000 to i, 900 feet.
