No Experiments.

The cause of disease is quickly
apparent, hence the doctor does not
experiment, but removes it as
rapidly as the cooperation of the
patient allows. The experience of
DIR. L. Miller in the treatment of
difficult, long standing and servoun
diseases insures the cure of the
cases he undertakes, for he attempts
no incurable cases. Instruction
obeyed, he guarantees the results Of
treatment. Among others he cures
these disease: Stammering, habits,
rheumatism, StVitus dance, catarrh,
rupture, piles (without knife),
sleeplessness, diseases Of men and
women, of the blood, skin, chest,
throat, and nose, stomach, liver etc,
producing pain, nervousness, pros
tration, debility, dizziness, loss Of
energy and memory, weakening
functions, etc. Consultation free.

Where the Difference Comes In,

One of the the most glaring in
constituencies of the Black Hills Tele-
phone Co., and one which shows the
greed and unfairneess Of that cor
poration is the difference in the
rates charged by it where there is
no competition, as compared with
the rates charged where the new
Harrison line is in operation. The
Union will cite a case to illustrate
the point referred to. For instance,
if citizen of Rapid City desires to
talk with a party at Lead City or
Deadwood from the central station
of the old Black Hills company, the
paltry sum of 10 cents will pay the
whole bill, and why? Simply be-
cause the Harrison line is THE line
in the upper Hills and has proved to
be an uncomfortably warm COMPETE
tor for the Shylocks of the Black
Hills line. But supposing the same
citizen of Rapid City desires to
communicate with Hot Springs,
where the old line has a monopoly Of
the thing. In the latter case the
old company "holds up the Gus
toner and charges him IS cents for
the same service which, owing to
the competition of the Harrison line
in the northern Hills, he has mo-
ment before obtained for 10 cents.
The point is plain. Where the
Black Hill, Telephone Co., has a
monopoly of the business itrobs its
patrons to the last cent. 1t did it
in Rapid City for years and it would
be doing the same thing today had
it not been for the competition of
Harrison line. These are cold, hard
facts, but they will have to stand.
With proper encouragement the
Harrison company will continue its
line to Hot Springs, Custer, Key
stone and Edgemont this spring and
then those towns will enjoy relief
from the unjust charges OF the old
Shylock concern. The people of the
Black Hills have ample reason for
standing bv the Harrison company
and The UNION believes that they
will do it.

CURE OF cATARRH.
SOUND HEALTH RECOVERED AFTER
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS SUFFERING.

Aerial Medication Restored Hearing and
Happiness to Edwin Coleman, Of
Wichita, Kan.-Medicines Free.
Complete recovery of sound health by a man
who had suffered twenty-five years from ca
tarrh, is an event of deep interest to thousands
who suffer from that painful and dangerous
disease. The case of Edwin Coleman, of
Wichita, Kansas, who formerly lived at Maize,
Kan, shows that science has at last found the
way to cure catarrh. Out of gratitude Mr..
Coleman wrote his story as follows:

and at onoe he fired three shots straight at
the fiery eyes. Then he fell off the plat
form. ran back to a clump of bushes, and
waited there while the smoke slowly curled
upward. He heard a succession of thump-
Ing noises. mingled with roars of agony.
AS soon as they ceased, which was in less
than a minute. he returned cautiously and
found the lion quite dead. The driver and
stoker, who were not aware of the fact
could be seen clinging to the highest part
of the engine.
Quin hesitated for moment, uncertain
what to do; them hearing loud voices close
by, curiosity mastered his prudence. In
spite Of the peril that he believed threaten
ed him. he hurried into the station, which
was a single large room serving for the
comoined purposes of booking goods, and
telegraph offices. The scene that met his
gaze here was more laughable than alarm

declared Fordyce. Pm awfully obliged to
you. sir, and if you ever want a good tip
you'll know where to get it. l must be Off
at once-1 have a pressing engagement.
Thanks again for your kindness"
With that he thrust the envelope into
gums hands. opened the door and was
gone. His rapid footsteps died away.
Il don't like this business, but 1 suppose
l am in for it now, Qun said to himself.
I'm too good-natured, that's the trouble"
After moments thought he concealed
the letter under the mattress of the bed.
Then he left the room, locking the door
behind him. and passed out of the hotel
TO the street. He dined at a restaurant
an acquaintance to club, where he played
cards for an hour. 1t was 0 o'clock when
he left. and as he was walking alone
through a dark street he met a friend-an
English broker of Johannesburg named
Brown.
Il looking for YOU the latter said.
Where are you going?'
''Home-to my hotel,' Quin replied.
You can't go there. My dear fellow,
you are in a bad scrape. You must get
out of the town at once
Have you gone dotty Brown?'
Il don't wonder you think So the
all briefly. John Fordyce was Swallowed
when he called on you at the hotel. and
when he returned to his lodgings he was
arrested. He confessed nothing: but,
nevertheless. the police broke into your
room searched it, and found the sealed
letter"
What was in it, gasped Quin.
Papers relating to the Notifications and
the military strength of every town in the

And, what is more. the government have

cases of arms into Johannesburg some
months ago."
THAT scoundrel Fordycew exclaimed
Quin. What a dupe 1 have been All. L
see 1t all. The Outlanders are planning a
rising, and you are mixed up in it. Other
wise you would not know much"
II won't say anything about that; form
your own opinion"
But why was 1 dragged into it? Good
heavens, l shall be ruined! l always
counted you as a friend Brown"
And rightly SO. Fordyce made use of
you without the knowledge of any one else
I'm bitterly sorry, but that doesn't mend
matters. If you are caught you will get a.
heavy sentence of imprisonment You
won't be able to prove your Innocence"
Quin realized that he was, indeed in a
terrible plight.
What am / to do?" he asked
Leave town at once. The police are
waiting for your return at the hotel, and
believe they are also watching the KIM

Quin thanked the man with as much
calmness as he could assume He paid
over the money. and then waited for TWEEN
" anxious minutes, during which he con-
stantly expected the arrival of the police.
But at last the engine drew alongside the
platform. and he mounted TO the limited
quarters OF the stoker and driver, who were

took deep breath and wiped the perspira-
ton from his face
I won't be safe until cross the Portu-
guese border" he reflected; for If the po-
lice discover how I got away-as they are
likely to do-they will wire ahead and have
me stopped. But it sha'n't be my fault
If l fail to get through"
The driver and stoker were surly fellows
and possible source of danger themselves;
but at the risk of arousing their suspicious
Quin gave them f5 note and urged them
to run at full speed. They obeyed with a
will, and mile after mile fell behind as the
swaying, ill-rumbling engine dashed on
through the night, across the level veldt,
over roaming streams through gloomy
gorges, and past stations and villages. The
shrieks of the whistle resounded far and
wide, and the red glare of the furnace
famed into the darkness as often as coal
was shoveled on. Buffeted by the wind,
scorched by heat and grimed with smoke,
Quin stuck with difficulty to his post. And
with each hour, with each mile that re-
coded, his spirits rose higher, for no signal
to stop was thrust across the line, and he
knew that the authorities of johannesburg
did not yet know how they had been trick
ed. few hours more, and friendly Portu-
guese territory would be reached
At O'Clock in the morning, after a splen-
did run, the engine dived into the risky
and winding passes of the Quathlamba
mountains. 1t went through them gallant
ly, though at reduced speed and emerged
an hour and a half later in the farther part
of the Transvaal that adjoins the Portu-
guese border. And few miles beyond the
blow that Quin still dreaded fell. A curve
of the line revealed a flashing light, at
sight of which the driver immedia tely shut
off steam and brought the engine to a stop
opposite a small wayside station; yellow
glimmer was seen through the crevices Of
the door.
Whats wrong?" Quin demanded, anx-
iously.
II don't know" replied the driver "but
you see the signal to pull up. This is the
station for New Rotterdam-the village lies
a mile to the left
There must be a mistake!" exclaimed
Quin. go on the line is surely clear!
The driver shook his head firmly
mo, we must wait he said. I'VE shall
soon know why We are stopped
Quin knew the reason we'll enough, and a
prison cell seemed to yawn before him.
But minute passed, and his fears were not
confirmed; no armed Beers rushed out of
the station. He was wondering if it would
be feasible to cover his companions with a
pistol, and make them take him on, when
the silence was broken by shril cry for
help, followed by a noise like distant
thunder; the sounds came from the interior
of the station.
That's Fonteins voice." the driver said
to his assistant. '1ll go and see what's
UP. You stay here, Piet."
''Tl go with you,' said Quin. Come
along
The stoker remained to guard the engine.

OriEfn of "Admfral.-

From the ST. Louis Glebe-Democrat.
The word admiral is derived by the die.
tonaries in rather a roundabout fashion
from the Arabic emir word which has
been variously translated lord, commander,
general An emir was an officer in the
Saracenic and afterwards in the Turkish
army, and, as these were composed mostly
of cavalry, the emir was originally cav
airy officer. AS the conquests OF the Turks
broadened, the Turkish sultans began to
make war upon the sea as well as upon the
land, and the officers who commanded ves-
sells and fleets retained the gitle that they
had when directing squadrons of horse.
The title is found Smong the Algerine and
Barbary pirates, and Is first noticed in En-
glish use during the reign of Edward III.

yrel of the Sc" or admiral CT the navy"
