THE UNLUCKY PARIS.

In ocean steamship circles the accident
by which the Paris has become either a
partial wreck or a total loss, is regarded as
going far to prove the truth OF the state
ment made in Great Britain at the time of
the loss of the Mohegan. Some of the ex-
perts in Great Britain were Of the opinion
that either a hitherto unrecognized and
treacheTous current or some inexplicabe
magnetic disturbance was the only way in
which the loss Of the Mohegan could be
explained. The captain Of the Paris stands
in the front rank Of expert uavigators, and
all who know him, say that he was as
familiar with the coast where the Paris
struck the rock as he is with the approaches
to New York harbor, and the information
received here is that he thought he was at

past years, was the late Mr.. Sothern, whose

S0thern invited the Duke to visit him in
America and enjoy some fishing on the
Canadian border. His grace had very vague

by writing 10 him that of course, he must

pedient of putting a layer of ties over
the rails. To replace the burned ties
the quartermaster's department were
forced to use planks, two boards each
two inches wide being nailed together,
for ties. The sidetrack, wherever pos

Jerked up, carried north, and put down
where the rails could not be found.
Another great need of the army is
light draught steamboats, for use on the
many rivers and lakes of Luzon. There
is hardly a place in the world where an
army could use river steamers to
greater advantage. The Rio Grande,
the Chico, the Rio Grande Pampanga,
the AgnO, the Bicol, and the Pasig all
flow through fertile and dersely popu-
lated valleys and are of q. means to the
army in bringing up supplies and swift
" transporting large bodies of soldiers

lied.
From what can be learned from the
insurgents, they are well satisfied with
the plans.
Their congress has just returned a
communication to the peace commits
sion, declaring that while they would
have accepted autonomy from our gov
ernment, if they had been properly dealt
with at first, they will now consider
no proposition except independence.
With almost AZ, 900 miles of territory
from which to draw supplies and with
boats coming in without any opposition
from Hong Kong, Japan, and from Cen
tral and South America and Australia,
the insurgents probably are doing well
as far as supplies, are concerned.

Helpmakaar road, Gen. White ordered
out a strong force of artillery, mounted
infantry and cavalry. A small patrol
of mounted infantry was shelled by the
Beers, nine miles from Ladysmith and
the Boer position was finally located
three miles beyond MOdderspruit. The
British force is now four miles from the
Beers
The dispatch does not give the date
of the above occurrence, but it must
have been since Thursday when the last
news arrived from LadySmith. so the

Identity proceeded steadily in the in
terim and the engagement fOreShadow-
ed by the above dispatch may already
have been fought.
Tn other news from the front does
not enlighten the situation in Natal.
E'ragmentary details are arriving OF the
occupation of Dundee by the Beers. 1t
IS alleged that 20 men of the town
guard occupied an outpost two miles
from the town when a BOer shell dis

The Beers then entered Dundee, dragged
several civilians out of their houses, and
pistolled them in the streets
As a pendant to the above comes a
story from Cape Town to the effect that
several cases of dumdum bullets were
found by the Beers at Dundee, which
the British abandoned in their flight.
Some of the Beers wanted to use the
dum-dums in the next battle but Pres

Bright's Disease
CAN BE CURED.

Tt is declared by our NJ. DIS that
Bright's disease can not be cured and
this is the general belief OF the public
But Prof. Samuels, by his new methods.
has proven otherwise and this fact can
be easily ascertained by a little inquiry
from those who have suffered and
taken the professors treatment. While
some doctors give relief and add a few
days to the patients life, Prof. Sam
uels cures and adds many years.
No harm can possibly come from the
professors treatment, hence if you are
suffering from that dread disease, do
not lose time and endanger your life
and lessen your chances of recovery by
fooling with NJ. DIS. who admit they
can not cure you, but call upon Prof.
SamueIs, who will cure you in from two
to four months.
Prof. Samuels treats the disease
through the eyes, and if the patient is
not too far gone-practically dead
when he comes for treatment, he will
surely cure him, as he has cured others
suffering from the same disease. He
has cured hundreds, right here in To-
peka, who suffered from dropsy,
spasms, fits, eczema, etc, by his new
and wonderful method of treatment,
which method is entirely his own and
known only to himself.
For a limited time and preparatory to
the professors departure for Kansas
City. he will treat cases of BRIGHT >
DISEASE, to be paid when cured. This
is YOUR chance for NEW LIFE.
Don't be prejudicedi Don't be gov
erned by the advice of the NJ. DIS, who
are full of prejudice and are Wroth at
the professor because he cures Where
they fail, but consult your own good,
common sense and call on him at his
Office, Cos Kansas avenue, over the
Hub.

WALLACE BOOM.
Mr.. Chester Long Must Look to His
Laurels.

Preston B. Gillette of Kingman, judge
of the district court for that and ad-
joining counties, was in the city yes
terday and discussed politics quite
freely. He said:
THE Republicans in that section of
the state are we'll organized and at
work and are confident of substantial
gains at the election next month. They
believe they will carry counties which
went to the opposition last year.
1.-The candidacy of w. NJ. Wallace for
congressman is not the joke some of
the politicians would like the people to
believe. Wallace is a candidate in earn
est and his friends are highly gratified
at the success with which he seems to
be meeting. believe myself that Mr..
Wallace will cut considerable figure
in the campaign next year and would
not be surprised to see him nominated.
If nominated he would be elected be-
cause he is a very popular man. Al
though a Republican worker of note,
Wallace is not irnbued with that bitter
ness which so often appears among pO-
Htical workers and he has many friends
in all parties. I think he would poll a
large vote and would probably lead the
ticket in some of the counties in the
Big Seventh"

HAS CLERICAL CLOTHES.
Governor Stanley Took Them With
Him to Ohio.

When Governor Stanley was ready
TO start for Ohio to fill the engagements
made by the Republican state commit
tee he had not intended to take an ex-
ira suit of clothes. Just before he left
the hotel a telephone message from the
executive office notified him of the ar
rival of a letter from relatives in Ken
ton.
The letter explained that the COVER
nor would be expected to attend
swell function in the way of a dinner at
s o'clock in the evening prior to his
speech making at s. Then the letter
told of another dinner at which the
governor would be expected to appear.
The executive glanced at the cutaWay
coat he was wearing and said:
I can't go to a dinner party in these
clothes"
Without a moments hesitation and
having but a little time before the de-
parture of his train the governor hus-
tied upstairs to his room and was soon
putting a Prince Albert and full dress
coat into his suit case. A friend hap
pened in and suggested that a pair of
trousers to be worn with one of the
other coats might be more what he
needed than two coats.
Well said Governor Stanley, I'm
glad you came in
The governor then decided that his
clerical coat was just the thing and he
took that suit with him.

SPARS FOR JOHN L.
champion Jefries Gives a Splendid
Exhibition In New York.

New York, Oct. 2S.-Champion JEFF
fries encouraged by John L. Sullivan
and other friends at his training quar-
ters at Asbury Park Friday gave
splendid exhibition with the gloves.
Jeffries first faced Tommy Ryan who
quit after two rounds. Jack Jeffries
next stepped into line and two more
rounds were added to the afternoon
score. The remainder of the afternoon
was devoted to punching the bag and
skipping the rope. John L. Sullivan,
being asked for an opinion, said:
He looks we'll and acts well. 7
think he is in splendid condition.
He would venture no opinion on the
outcome of the fight He simply said
that both were his friends
Jeffries said today that the stiffness
had almost gone from his neck.
