To Cure
ScrOfuld

It ought to interest everybody to
know that the terrible affection
called Scrofula is the forerunner Of @
still more terrible disease. Scrofula
is the seed of consumption. It is SO
deep-seated and obstinate that not
one doctor il a hundred can cure it.
To cure Scrofula, you must cure the
blood. You must go down to the
roots and reach deep. A Guessing
ever with mineral poisons is not
only useless. but makes things O
great deal worse.

JOKE NEATLY TURNED.
Why the Senator's Charge Was Not
Further Troubled by the
Young DfDlOm1t.

Washington, Feb. GA prominent senator
told an interesting story to a group of at
tentive listeners at an uptown hotel this
evening, the senator in question. a young
woman and a member of the diplomatic
corps being the principals. 1t happened
that the senator was on his way to New
York, and the young woman in the case
was intruSted to his care. Shortly after
leaving Washington the senator noticed
that the diplomat was casting Sleeps eyes
at the pretty girl in the opposite chair. 1t
became the duty of the senator to speak
to his charge on some trivial matter and
this was the long looked for opportunity
for the dude. He knew the senator slightly
and therefore did not hesitate about i'm
proving his acquaintance. First seeing that
the coast was clear he sidled up to the SEN
ator, remarking as he did so: That's a
deucedly pretty girl with you. senator. If
you do not consider it presumptuous on my
part l would like to make her acquainI-
ance." .
There was just a suggestion sof a
twinkle in the senator's eye as he replied:
That's my sisters maid. She is going to
New York to meet some of my folks whit
are returning from abroad"
A Mortified look came over the face of the
young diplomat who found it convenient TO
change his seat into another car for the
remainder of his journey.
After the fellow called my attention to
the fact" said the senator Il noticed that
although 1t was a tine-iooking girl who had
been intrusted to my care she was not
bothered by any more attention from her
fellow passengers

Gator of Tuskegee. Ala. in an open letter
to the constitutional convention now in
session in this city. after explaining the
motives which prompt him to address the
convention. among other things says:
Since the war no state has had such an
opportunity TO settle the race question. so
far as it concerns politics. as is now given
Louisiana.
The negro agrees with you that it is
necessary to the salvation of the South
that restriction be put upon the ballot. l
know that you have two serious problems
before you: Ignorant and corrupt govern
ment on the one hand. and on the other a
way to restrict the ballot so that control
will be in the hands of the intelligent with
out regard to race. With the sincerest
sympathy with you in. your efforts to find
a way out of the difficulty. l want to sug-
gest that no state in the South can make
Il law that will provide an opportunity or
temptation for an ignorant white man to
vote and withhold the same opportunity
from an ignorant colored man without in
jurinS both men. Any law controlling the
ballot hat is not absolutely just and fair
to both races will work more permanent
injur. to the whites than to the blacks.
Il beg of You further that in the degree
that you close the ballot box against the
ignorant you open the school houses. More
than one-half of the people of your state
are negroes. No state can prosper when
a large percentage of its citizenship is in
ignorance and poverty and has no interest
in government.
Let the very best educational opportuni-
ties be provided for both races: and. added
to this. the enactment of al election law
that shall be incapable of unjust discrim-
%ination. at the same time providing that in

BOlES' SILVERY REPLY.
With His Currency Plan No One Could
Lose md Government Would
SOmefimes (:afn.

Des Moines. Ia. Feb. 21.-EX-Governor
Boies has written the following letter, re-
plying to the criticisms of the currency
plan. advocated in his recent speech at
Fairfield:
Suppose uhe plan being in force A
brings TO the treasury to-day 100 ounces of
silver, worth in the worlds markets. 20
cents an ounce. He would receive for it so
in certificates that would ever after. in the
treasury or out. be full legal tender, and
the treasury would receive his silver.
"One year later he or some one else
brings these certificates back to the treas
ury for redemption. Silver has doubled in
value. He would receive for them fifty
ounces of silver. The treasury would own
his certificates. With these or some other
so the treasurer would purchase in the
open markets fifty ounces of silver. and
cover II into the treasury. That would
close the transaction. What is the re-
suit?
The treasury has gained fifty ounces of
SILVER: a has neither gained nor lost u
Multiply similar transactions to any ex-
tent desired. The result is always the same
on Il rising market. The treasury gains the
rise. Individuals lost nothing. No pit
there; Reverse the market.
when A returns with his certificates for
redemption silver has fallen to % cents an
ounce. He receives 200 ounces of silver and
the treasury owns his certificates. With
these or some other equally good $50 the
bhNs III ttt Ultll
markets gU ounces of silver and covers in
TO the treasury. This closes the transac-
ton.
What is the result? The treasury has
neither gained nor lost a grain of silver.
nor a farthing of value. Individuals have
neither gained nor lost a farthing of value.
No pit there.
But suppose silver is cornered in the
markets: What then? Simply redeem with
gold and buy gold instead of silver for the
treasury.
"A world of work this buying of bullion
with which to redeem some one suggests.
Don't worry. there would be no rush
for the redemption of these certificates any
more than there is now for the exemption
Of silver certificates with silver dollars.
Every bullion certificate would be worth
more to every man outside of the treasury
than the bullion it would represent.
But what of the certificates the dollars

GERMANY INCREASES EXPORTS
That Protest Against the Dinsley
Law Seems to Have Been


Washington. Feb. 21.-Germany's frantic
protests against the operations of the Ding
ley law seem to have been a trifie prema-
ture. The export of sugar to the United
States has been stopped. but the trade
may be resumed just as soon as Germany
stops giving bounties on beet root sugar.
Aside from that some significant tables
partment which show that German exports
in other lines to make up for the loss on
sugar. For instance. it is shown that the
declared exports at. the Berlin consulate
for the last three months of 1897 show an
actual increase over the last quarter of
1896 of SIG. $50. The total exports of Ger
many to the United States for 1897 were
SCI. 3i.. 1873. as compared with s92. 424, Gal in
1886. thus showing the heavy increase of 81
800. $50. The sugar exports were SI56. l22
larger than for 1896, but eliminating this
increase entirely, Germany sold this coun-
try goods of an invoice value of over 81
100000 more than the preceding year. That
the sugar trade with this country is broker
up SO long as bounties continue to be paid
is evident from the fact that the exports
of sugar for the first six months of 1897
were $40. COG. COZ. and for the last six months
only Sis. ASS. thus showing a practical eX-
tinction of this commerce. The figures
given from the Berlin consulate for the
last quarter of 1897 come from IA place
where there is no sugar trade. and hence
are significant as showing how the Ger
mans nave directed their energies into lines
where they do not find the new tariff pro-
hibitory,

TO STUDY THE VITAL ORGANS.
Doctors Can Now Make Investigations
That Were Formerly Not
Possible.

New York. Feb. 2l.-The invention is an
nounced of the phonendoscope, an instru-
ment of wonderful value in studying the
condition of the internal organs of the
body. 1t is declared by physicians to be a
tremendous advance on the old stetho-
scope. The phonendoscope conveys to the
physician the sounds made by the internal
organs. thus telling him whether they are
healthy or not.
BY its aid he can not only ascertain the
condition of an organ. but trace itS shape.
1t has been discovered with the phonendo-
scope that the stomach assumes a different
form when full of the different kinds of
food and drink. The rapidity, with which
various kinds of food and drink are digest
ed can also be studied accurately with the
phonendoscope. The instrument is the in
vention of Drs. Blauchi and Bazzi. of
France.
The difficulties with the stethoscope were
that it took a trained and sensitive ear to
make it useful. DrS. Blauchi and BaZzi
have long been endeavoring to simplify
these Investigations and have succeeded.
They have constructed a new apparatus,
the phonendoscope. which permits the least
delicate ear to observe differences in
sounds.
This was the problem which confronted
them. The noise which is produced in
percusslnS an organ is scattered. The ear
is far away and it only receives a small
part. What was needed was an instrument
which gathered up the vibrations. con-
densed them. and carried them entire to
the ears. The phonendoscope accomplishes
this object.
Another advantage of the phonendoscope
is that it can be heard by many persons at
the same time-a great advantage in elm
zeal instruction. With tne p~honendoscope
one can hear the organs live and move. Up
to now the treatises of anatomy have
ascribed to the stomach the form which it
possesses in the corpse. This is largely
erroneous. 1t was impossible to outline it
on the living persons. BY means of the
phonendoscope it is learned that the stom-
ach is much larger in a vertical direction
than the anatomists thought it to be. 1t
stretches much farther in this direction
when it receives food.

HER CLAIM WAS TOO OLD.
supreme Court Title to 100 Acre. OF
st. Paul Property Will Not
Stand.

Washington. Feb. 21.-Justice Brown
handed down the opinion of the supreme
court of the United States to-day in the
case of Elizabeth Wetzel and others
against the Minnesota Railway and Trans
fer Company. involving title to $50 acres
OF land within the limits of the city of
st. Paul. The land In controversy was To-
cateC upon a land warrant issued in 1877
to Mrs. Wetzel and minor children. as the
widow and heirs of a man named Remsen,
who had served in the Mexican war. This
warrant was sold to a man named Tay-
lOr. who located the land. 1t appears.
however. that when Mrs. WetZel, then
Mrs. Remsen, made the sale of the war
rant she did not nave the consent of an
orphans court to dispose OF the interest
OF her children. 1t appearing, however,
that the title of present owners had not
been attacked until forty years after the
transfer was made. the court held that 1t
was now too late to attack it. Justice
Brown said that when the transfer was
first made. the land involved was not
worth to exceed $500, but that now. being
covered with buildings and other improve
ments. it was valued at not less than
81, COO. 900. The purchasers from Taylor had
bought under his patent from the govern
ment. and the court thought that. under
all the circumstances. and especially be-
cause of the lapses of the heirs, the title
should not be disturbed. The case was
appealed from the circuit court of appeals
for the Eighth district. The decision of
tina: court was against Mrs. Wetzel and
its opinion was affirmed by to-day'S decis-

WANTS LAND FROM To-.
Government Wishes 10 Buy 10000
Acres in south Dakota From
the Brules.

Chamberlain. S. D., Feb. 1.-THE neSotia-
tons about to be commenced by Inspector
Mclaughlin, of the Indian bureau. with the
Sioux at Rosebud and Lower Brule agencies
Will be the most important since the COM
mission composed of General Crook, VIII
IAN Warner, of Missouri, and Ex-Governor
Foster, of Ohio. visited the various Sioux
agencies in the summer of 1889 10 obtain
the consent of three-fourthS of the entire
SIOUX nation TO open to white settlement
about 9.Ow.1W acres of their reservation.
In the present instance the negotiations
involve 4 further surrender of land by the
Lower Brules to reimburse the government
Tor land occupied by Il portion of this tribe
vino abandoned their brethren and cast
their fortunes south of White river on the
Rosebud reservation. The Rosebud Indians
demanded pay for the land which the new
corners occupy and the government recently
consented TO pay them at the rate of 81 per
acre for il.
To reimburse it for the expenditure the
government wishes to secure the surrender
OF about 10000 acres OF the regular Lower
BrUle reservation. and TO accomplish this
must secure the signatures of three-fourthS
of all the Lower Brule tribe, those who wish
to remain permanently on the Rosebud res
ervation. as we'll as those who are satisfied
to remain on the reservation set apart eN-
pressly for the Lower Brules, and who have
always opposed the removal of their breth-
rem TO another reservation. When the nego-
tiations are commenced with the latter some
difficulties may be encountered.
The permanent removal of Il part of the
Lower Brules to the Rosebud reservation, III
the event that the negotiations are success
full. will partially unite the two tribes after
a separation of about sixty years. The fac
ton which desires to remain on the Rose
bud reservation has caused the agency
authorities considerable trouble in the past.
