ney goes on to say: THE feature of
the Egyptian climate which has always
attracted the most attention is the
dryness of the air, and this has been
the more noticeable In Upper Egypt,

sdered, there Is no known health re-
sort which can even approach the
climate of Upper Egypt In dryness It
Is even considerably dryer than the
high attitudes OF Colorado" The cases
deriving the greatest benefit from the
climate of Egypt are, according to the
conclusions arrived at by medical men
who live in Egypt and have made

greater than the horrors of disease. If all
the nations of the earth were at war against

wrought within the year as that which is
accomplished annually by one dread disease

And yet this most fatal of all diseases is
not without its remedy. II is no longer the

thirty years ago. An entirely new aspect is
put upon the possibilities of this dreadful

Judge Willis for Congress.

for congress from the Fourth congressional

No man in Minnesota deserves the support Of
the reform forces more than he, for he has
always been the consistent opponent of spe-
cial privileges to the few at the expense of
the many, and has brought upon his head
the anathemas of the rings and corporations
for advocating the cause of humanity and
dealing out even-handed justice to rich and
poor alike.
He is incorruptible, and that is his great
est offense. He cannot be bullied or intim-
idated by the threats of corporations nor be
cajoled nor wheedled by their batteries, and
hence it is that he has always been the tar

their subsidized organs.-The Irish Standard.
The canvass which Judge Willis has
conducted for congress has been one
calculated to dIsarm the most critical.
1t has been dignif1ed and fair through
out He has offered to meet his Re-
publican opponent in the discussion Of
the issues of the day, but that gen.
tleman had no relish for joint debates

ever his views are upon national or
state matters, he has refrained from
discussing them with the Judge from
the same stage. Those Democrats who
are desirous Of seeing the reform tick
ct elected from top to bottom will not
refrain from voting for Judge Willis.

The Dispatch Roorback OF 1900.

just at the close of the campaign of
1896 the st. Paul Dispatch published a
statement to the effect that John Lind
was an atheist. 1t was too late to
oVertake the lie with the truth and
many votes were thereby influenced
against Mr.. Lind, who was defeated.
II the Dispatch gathered amy enjoyable
fruits as a result of it's exploit, they
were short-lived. When the election was
over, Mr.. Lind promptly brought suit
against the Dispatch and secured a
verdict for $500 damages before Judge
Bum and a ST. Paul jury.
That Vindication was before the law.
The slander, as was subsequently
learned, did have the effect of alien
ating many votes from Mr. Lind in
Ramsey county which otherwise would
have been polled for him, and among
these We're several clergymen and
members Of their congregations It is
known that these will this year undo
the wrong they did to Mr.. Lind in 1895,
and that their influence will be felt In
the same direction in the communities
where that influence can be properly
exerted. 1t is only a simple act of
justice for any one who was led, at
that time, by the PRONUNCIATION of the
slander, to aid in the defeat of Mr..
Lind, to show, at this time, his con-
demnation of it by giving him his sup
port
The people Of st. Paul are proverbiaI-
ly fair-minded. There may be some
among them who, having heard Of the
slander, did not learn Of the action at
law or it's results. Reference is made
to the incident at this time to the end
that these may be informed of the
facts. The reception accorded to Mr.
Lind last Thursday evening in this
Auditorium seemed to convey, in the
enthusiastic greeting to the candidate,
a desire to wipe out the remembrance
of a wrong done. MIR. Lind was led to
refer to the incident and to express
his satisfaction at being among a peo,
pie who were prompt to accord justice
to an injured party, in their courts.
The voters Of st. Paul generally will
have an opportunity to make the popu-
lar vindication even more complete.
