WHEN CARLOS is KING
He May Conclude That Peace is De-
sirable.

New York, May 11.-Senor De La Cos
tina, American representative of Don Car
los, left New York last night to join his
leader in Europe. Before going, Senior
Costina said that his departure was due
to a summons from Don Carlos, and that
all the other American Carlists had left
were about to leave, to assist Don Car
los in his next effort to regain his throne.
Senior COStina, according to the CONNER
cial-AdvertiSer, said that judging from the
events of the past few days, Don Carlos
would probably be established before he
(Senor Costina) arrived in Europe. but
that in any event the presence of the
American Carlists was desired at this mo-
ment
with our knowledge of the United
States and the American people, we will
be able to advise Don Carlos as to the
expedience and the best method of car
1T is possible. certainly" said Senior
Costina, chat some way be found to set
tie the difficulty when Carlos is king; the
American Carlists will endeavor to bring
consider that the honor of Spain or the
interests of the Spanish people would be
compromised by peace, he will certainly
carry the war on to the end He will be
in a better position to wage war than the
present government is: Besides his own
immense fortune, which amounts to about
his first wife and his present wife, too, is
very rich. Besides this, he can command
the entire fortune of every Carlist in
Spain. France or anywhere else.
Don Carlos is already forming his min
istry, and although the list is not yet COM
pleted, can safely say that al least three
of the ministers have been decided on.
The Marquis of Cerralba is to be presi-
dent of the council, General Weyler COM

Juan Vazeques De Mella, who was recent

stood between Major J. K. Hudson

The south steps were reserved for the
state officers and relatives, the ladies of
the W. r. c. and invited guests, but
several hundred people were gathered
there by the time the parade entered
the capitol grounds. Applause, as the
parade passed, was generously distrib-

variably leading.
AS the officers of the day, of the di-
visions and of the different companies
of volunteers passed the reviewing

Consumption Cured.
RoUGHr BACK FROM THE CRAVE.

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE CRAVE.
Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, of 325 w. Pearl ST., Indianapo-
lis, Ind, was at deaths door with quick
consumption. Wasted to a skeleton;
his lungs a mass of alterations; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in a constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him a
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1898-05-11

Gov. Leedy caught him by the arm and
pulled along with him to the edge of the
stone steps.
Soldiers he said, ct want to intro
duce to you the man who hope to see
appointed brigadier general of the
Kansas troops, Fighting joe Hudson.
He will make a speech to you"
Major Hudson couldn't do anything
else but make a speech under the cir
cumstances, and he concluded the cele-
bration with a brief address.

In consumption beware of cough mix
lures and Prescriptions that contain
opium. Opium PARALLELS the nerves,
and gives the comma bacillus good
chance to destroy the lungs. It is
always fatal. Brazilian Balm does not
contain trace of any opiate, but stimu-
1ates the nerves with new life and power,
destroys the microbe, and restores all
that is left of the diseased lungs to a
sound and healthy state which no other
remedy has ever been known to accom-
p1iah.

But the enthusiasm of the crowd had

they aroused little interest. There was

swept down the street with the men

handkerchiefs and parasols. Small
boys whirled "horse fiddles" making a
noise that sounded like gatllng gun.
