Consumption Cured.

BROUGHT. BACK FROM THE GRAVE.
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 liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him
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

WAR SPIRIT ATK. u.
Is So High That Many Glasses Are
Broken Up-Addressed by
Chancellor Snow.

Lawrence, April 26.-War excitement
among Kansas University students is
so high that several classes are broken
up, many staying in halls during reci-
tation.
At a called meeting this morning
Chancellor Snow and J. Willis Gleed
addressed one thousand students on the
subject. Chancellor Snow read an ad-
dress of university counsel cautiOninS
the boys against volunteering and in a
speech impressed them with the Seri-
BUSINESS of the occasion.
He urged only seniors to volunteer
now. They to be given diplomas.
Mr.. Gleed quoted Col. Funston to the
effect that Spain appropriated 991s per
cent of taxes exacted from Cubans to
her own interests; that Cubans are ca
pable of self government; that the pres
ident of the Cuban republic is a Yale
graduate, and even majority of the
colored population read and write. Mr..
Gleed advised the younger students not
to enlist, saying that another call might
come when to enlist would mean higher
loyalty and much greater courage and
love of country than now.
Chancellor Shows address was as
wise and timely as it was patriotic and
eloquent 1t was received with i'm
menSe applause.

YOUNG ED LELAND.
Son of Cyrus, Has Gone to Key West
on Visit.

E. s. Leland, son of Pension Agent Cy-
rus Leland, left today for Key West,
where he expects to enlist in the navy.
Mr.. Leland's only explanation of the
move of his eldest son was that he wanted
to go and he was not going to stand in his
way. 1t is believed that Mr.. Leland is
in a position to see that his son has some
thing better in the navy than a common
seaman, but if he has made such an ar
rangement he is not saying anything
about it.
Edward S. Leland is promising young
man. For several years he has been at
tending Washburn college, but recently
he has been assisting his father in the
pension office.
