-. ltS mulIltu0e8 OF dead
and dying. The horrors of war are no
greater than the horrors of disease. If ali
the nations of the earth were at war against
each other there would be no such carnage
wrought within the year as that which is
accomplished annually by one dread disease
consumption.
And yet this most fatal of all diseases is
NOT without its remedy. 1t is no longer the
irresistible destroyer that it was considered
.nirty years ago. An entirely new aspect is
put upon the possibilities Of this dreadful
maIady by the astounding remedial action
OF Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
which cures consumption by nourishing the
lungs with an abundant supply of pure
highly vitalized blood.
This stops the formation of tuberculous
matter, and builds up fresh tissue muscular
mesh and vital energy. 1t gives digestive
power to the stomach which is too weak to
assimilate oily emulsions.
a. MISS Lucy Rloefher, of Armada, Mich writes :
When ! was about eight years of age had in
nammation of the lungs and from that time up

Washington. Oct .s.-The state de-
partment has received full information
ment on the proposed Behring sea con-
ference. This proves to be much more
complete than the brief cable reports
from London indicated. as the depart
ment has been advised not only Of Great
Britain's declination to enter q confer
ence unless 1t is limited to the experts
Of the United States. Great Britain and
Canada. but also has been informed
quite fully as to what led the Marquis
OF Salisbury to this conclusion. The
British view. as laid before the state
department, is that at no stage of the
negotiations has the British govern
ment agreed to a conference except that
between the experts Of Great Britain,
Canada and the United States. 1t Is
not questioned that Secretary Sherman
and Ambassador Hay made suggestions
that the conference should be between
'the powers interested" and that some
Of the notes from the United States
authorities expressed a desire to have
Russia and Japan take part in the con-
ference.
Never Accepted by England.
But it is pointed out that these sug-
gestions came from the United States,
and until accepted could have no effect
In determining the nature of the con-
ference. So far as the suggestions were
accepted the note Of Lord Salisbury Of
July % Is said to stand alone, and this
note. 1t is stated. mentioned only a con-
ference between the experts Of the Unit
ed States. Great Britain and Canada.
The latest correspondence on the SUBJ
5ect leads to considerable doubt as to
who will participate in the coming
meetings. 1t has been understood that
the difference would be bridged over by
holding two meetings in one of which
Russia and japan would participate
without Great Britain, while a second
meeting would be held between the ex-
ports Of Great Britain and the United
States.
Now Negotiating by Cable.
1t is understood that Ambassador
Hay was directed to effect such an ar
ransement in case Great Britain de-
cAned to enter the general conference.
But there isnow some question whether
theB British authorities will participate in
any way until a definite decision is
reached as to who will take part in the
general conference. as there is under
stood to be a reluctance on the part Of
the British to join in q dual conference.
and some doubt whether the British ex-
perts will leave for this country to at
tend either a general or limited con-
ference until an UNDERSTANDINGS reached
on the entire subject. AS the confer
ence is SO near at hand-the first plan
having been to hold it Oct. % the
negotiations are necessarily conducted
by cable, and by this means a eatis.
factory adjustment may yet be reached.

CHIcAGo's UNEMPLOYED .-Uaem-
ployed men and women to the numb r
of several hundred held q mass meeting
in Chicago Sunday evening, at which
they launched 'declaration Of tide
pendence" against "King plulocrocy"
in Chicago. and adopted resolutions
against paying rent, except at the option
OF the tenant; advocating repeal OF
the laws for the collection of debt end
forming the Unemployed Workman's $
League.
Speeches were made on the subj ct OF
finding work for the unemployed. The
potato and bean. patch plans Of II Sal
walton Army and others were dip
proved.
The call for the meeting stated there
are perhaps 100000 unemployed men
and women in Chicago, and II chiefpur
pose OF the gathering was to verify the
approximate number OF those out OF
work and bring their condition to the
attention of the proper authorities.
The declaration of independence
which was adopted is paraphrase of
the historic document OF July i, 1916
and "King Plutocracy" is the despot
substituted for King George as the OBJ
ject of invective.

LIONS OCCASION A PANIC.

a panic occurred on one Of the prin
cipai streets OF Omaha on Saturday Il d
a crowd of over 200 pacple scattered
pell nell IN sll directions. People were
thrown down and trampled upon, sew
erai women tainted and it IS a miracle
that no one was seriously injured 1t
was all caused by the attempt made by
three lions to escape from their c. sc,
an attempt that was well nigh sue
cessfu
The managers of one Of the local
p)by houses had engaged 4 lion tanner
from New York 10 fill d weeks engage
ment, and Saturday afternoon tEe ami
mails arrived The transfer OF the lions
from the wagon 10 their temporary
quarters attracted large crowd. The
doors of the cage on the wagon box bad
been unlocked, when the lions became
unusually restivc, and one made a rush
at the entrance and succeeded in get.
ting its head and forepaw outside before
the keeper. Frank Hall, was aware OF
it. Instantly there was great scram-
bic made to get out Of the way. The
SiOItS du'i SGlOcbS bCibS SitSSt ibS lNc
pie ran for blocks to secure shelter,
every lamp post and telegraph pele
was haven of refuge, and once secure,
nothing would induce the occupant TO
come down until the danger was all
over.
Frank Hall was apparently the only
person who kept his wits about him.
Selling big club he attacked The
beast single handed, and With difficulty
cot Lln back into the cage. Mean
while, frightened by the roar of the
lions and the rush of the crowd, the
horses attached to the wagons started
to run away, with Hall taging on be
hind, trying to snap the paddock to the
cage door Succeedind. finally in his
efforts. he climbed up and over the
cage and grasped the lines. After
thrilling ride of several blocks he man
aged to pull the team down and re.
turned 10 the theatre. The driver had
deserted his post at the first iutimation
of danger Hall is D young man of
slight build and he is, perhaps, as
much surprised as any one at his dar-
ing feat.
