A BOMB was exploded on Tuesday at
Montpelier, France, at the residence OF M.
Messine, president OF the chamber OF COM
merce. Serious damage was done, but
there was no loss of life. The police have
discovered three similar bombs in the vicin-
ity and at the railroad depot Several
anarchists have been there for several days.
WHILE a masquerade ball WIS in prog
ress at the Irijoa theater, at Havana last
Saturday evenings bomb was exploded on
the second floor, destroying the windows
and roof and wounding a lawyer named
Pou and several others The explosion
caused great confusion. Women tainted
and men rushed wildly to the doors. Quiet
was at last restored and 1t was found that
only one person was badly injured. The
perpetrator OF the act was not discovered
nor can any cause for the deed be assigned
1T is asserted in London that the Royal
Niger Company has been instructed, after
trying all peaceable means, to compel the
retirement Of the French from British terri
tory by force. The Sultanate OF Sokoto is a
feudatory of the company and was recently
placed under British protection. The stua
ton is regarded as extremely grave. Great
Britain's forces in the protectorate district
number between 5000 and 5000 men under
British officers in Hagas and gold coast

Why do you think him such fool2

course, refused the first time, and he
didn't have sense enough to ask me
again.

Domestic.

THE post-office and store at Runsberg,
Mimi, was burned last Saturday night and
Postmaster Kartunen, who slept in the
building, was cremated. There is no evil
dence Of foul play, and the fire is thought
to have been the result of accident Kart
nunen had been postmaster nine years. His
body was reduced to ashes.
FRANCES e. WILLARD left her estate, val
ued at $4,000, to the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union. OF this amount $4,000
is in cash. 1t was the purse given Miss
Willard on her fiftieth birthday by the
women of the country, and is in the keep
ing of Miss Cornelia Dow of Portland, Me-,
the official custodian in the east OF the Will
lard fund. The will was made year ago,
and a codicil was added after the Buffalo
convention. On that occasion Miss Willard
said she would give Rest Cottage, her
Evanston home, valued at ST. 900, to aid
in the purchase Of the temple, and this she
has done by the codicil.
WHILE following the deer hounds at
Aiken, s. c., on Monday Mrs. William C.
Whitney, wife of ex-Secretary of the Navy
Whitney, was knocked from her horse and
quite seriously hurt. Mr.. Whitney and
wife, with party of thirty-fve or forty
friends were out on deer hunt two miles
from the city OF Robinson's Park Mrs.
Whitney was among the leaders and was
riding at gallop aloug a narrow path
short distance from the roadway. Nailed
across the path was scantling which Mrs.
Whitney did not see until too late. She
was riding SO fast she could not stop and
was carried directly against the piece of
wood. She was struck in the forehead and
knocked from her horse. When picked up
she was unconscious and had long ugly
cash just above the eyes.
SENATOR PROCTOR left Washington for
Havana last Saturday 1t was denied at
the capitol that Senator Proctor goes on
any mission for the President, but there is
strong belief that the former secretary of
war, whose close friendship for Mckinley
is recognized, does go for the purpose of
making personal report to the President
concerning the conditions that he may find
upon the island. 1t was given out that
Senator Proctor goes simply for rest and
for the purpose of recuperating his falling
health 1t is known, however, that Sem
ator Proctor was never in better physical
condition than he is at present. The asser-
ton that 1t was necessary for him TO visit
semi.tropical climes for his health is laugh
ed at by those intimately associated with
the rugged senator from Vermont. 1t is
understood that President Mckinley has
great confidence in the judgment of the for
mer secretary of war. The fact that he has
suddenly decided to start for Cuba is con-
strued by public men as an indication that
the President himself requested him to
make the trip for the purpose OF studying
the situation.

CONSUMPTION.
CONTINUED

Extracts from DIR. Hunters Lectures on
the Progress of Medical Science in Lung Dis
eases)
To cure the lungs after the bacili germs
have attacked them and set up Consumption
is one Of the greatest achievements of modern
science. 1t has only been done, so far as
know or believe, by my special treatment.
NO reputable physician now pretends that any
combination of stomach medication will drive
the Consumption germs out of the lungs Hy-
podermic injections of Koch's lymph, Edison's
asepsin, goats blood, asses serum and other
nostrums OF that ilk are equally worthless,
and more harmful. Such blood poisoning ex-
periments, instead of curing the lung disease,
make it worse, and serve only to hasten its
progress to a fatal issue
Lung diseases are durable only by local
treatment OF the lungs, and inhalation is the
only means by which local treatment can be
applied to the lungs. Inhalation of antiseptic
germicides was first discovered by me and sue
cessfully applied i'll consumption and other
lung diseases. | am the Father of the doc.
trne that consumption is a local disease of the
lungs, and the founder of its local treatment
by medicated air inhalations This method Of
treatment brought the first ray of rational
hope to consumptives. 1t is the only possible
way in " hich medicines can be introduced into
the air passages and lungs. All lung RENEE
dies must be reduced to state of gas vapor
and breathed, because no solid or fluid medi-
cine can be introduced into an air cavity, with
out danger to life. The lungs are an air cav>.
ity, and by the air and through the air every
curative action by medicine can be produced
on the seat of every form of lung disease My
antiseptic and healing remedies enter into and
form a component part of the air the patieut
breathes.
Since my introduction of this scientific and
successful method of treating lung diseases
many imitation inhaling instruments and nos
trums for inhalation have been brought out,
in some instances by persons without any medi-
cal knowledge or experience of lung cases.
The idea seems to be that anything inhaled
must be a remedy. What will cure the lungs
when inhaled depends on the physicians
knowledge of lung diseases, his experience of
the action of remedies when breathed and his
careful adaptation of them to each case. 1t
has taken me lifetime to learn what is best
for each form and varying conditions of lung
diseases, and no man can adopt my practice or
apply it with success without having my ex-
perence to guide him. 1t is the medicines
that cure, not the mere act of inhaling them.
You might inhale what could do you no good,
or harm instead of good, and call that nhala-
ton treatment.

Miss Frances Z. Willard who has been at
tending the worlds convention of the w. G.
L. u, says that better health for women is
today a more urgent matter than woman's
suffrage.
She says: What women at present most
need is better supply of red corpuscles.o
From every section of the country, from
Maine to California, come well attested re-
ports of women, bloodless, dyspeptic, nervous,
seriously run down, and in many cases so
weak as to be bed ridden, who have been en-
abled to resume their places in the family cir
Gle and in social lfe-healthy, rudy, we'll
cured women, by the aid of that great blood
maker and health-maker, - Paine's celery
compound.
Mrs. L. A Ward is one of these fortunate
women whom Paine's celery compound has
saved from an ailing, unhappy invalid condi-
ton, as her letter shows:
213 Michigan Ave, Mason City, Ia,
Wells d Richardson Co.. Sept. II, 1897.
Gentlemen:-My greatest trouble seemed to
be general weakness and all.over tired feel
ing l am sixty-six years of age and / did not
expect to be ever strong again, but used four
bottles of Paines celery compound and was
greatly strengthened, and my cough seemed
better so that | stopped using the remedy and
have not since felt the need of any further help
whatever. Very respectfully yours,
Mrs E. A WARD.
Persons of large experience among nervous
women, who, as a rule, are thin and lack
blood, recommend Paine's celery compound
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1898-02-23

as beyond all question the one remedy that
can be depended on to renew the vitality of
feeble persons.
This settled confidence in Paine's celery
compound is not a hearsay belief, but rests in
nearly every case on personal use or acquaint-
ance with men or women who have been re-
stored to useful health by no other means.
The rapid change for the better in color, flesh
and Expression of the face is so unmistakable
that repair of the wasted tissues might well be
called renewal of life.
The process by which Paine'e celery COM
pound is able to build up health in the run
down body is not hard to understand when
one observes how surely it disposes the bowels
to act regularly, how it increases the capacity
to take and assimilate food and regulates the
nerves all over the body
The heavy, alarming pain in the back and
loins disappears; the growing paleness and loss
of flesh is stopped and a bright, buoyant feel
ing gradually takes the place of that unend-
ing sense of tire and depression.
Paine's celery compound is the exact remedy
for that large class of feeble, thin-blooded,
often hystercal persons whose greatest need is
a thorough refurnishiDg of their blood with the
red corpuscles upon which health and happi-
ness in such large measure depends.
The extraordinary virtue of Paine's celery
compound to increase the proportion of red
corpuscles in the blood is the source of its
great power over all blood diseases, rheuma-
tism, neuralgia, kidney diseases, back aches,
loss Of flesh and general rundown condition.

Farm Notes.

A good pasture makes tight fence.
Good care counts for almost as much
as good feed.
Irregularity in the amount of food
given the COW, worrying or fast driving
will lessen the flow of milk.
Overlooking causes milk fever. If
a cow is starved little for ten days be-
fore calving and four or five days after
she will not have milk fever.
Keep the heifer, milking up to the
time of her second calving or near it,
or she will contract the habit of going
dry longer time than is profitable.
Farmers on few acres cannot COM
pete in growing the staple grain crops,
which, harvested as they are now by
machinery, can only be grown profit
ably on large fields.
The farmer who is making his land
richer every year is laying up the best
bank account possible. Robbing the
soil for present profits is never prac-
ticed by good farmers.
A planted field whose surface is kept
stirred may give an increase in crop
over that produced by heavy applica-
ton of fertilizer. A blanket of fine
soil on the surface during hot, dry
week may be of great value, and really
becomes the turning point for profit if
present when loss might result from its
absence,

THE new wharf at Tampico, Mexico, con-
structed last year by the Mexican Central
railroad, was totally destroyed by fire last
Sunday. The fire started in box car
on the east end Of the wharf and gradually
spread to the sheds. The Ward Line
steamer "Yumuri" was alongside the wharf
and turned the first stream on the fire, but
without avail, and to escape the flames she
had to steam up the river. The custom
house, under construction aud nearly COM
pleted, was damaged to the extent OF
100000. The total loss on wharf, custom
house and merchandise is nearly $4,000, 600.
1t is fully insured.
