FEARS FOR BLAND'S LIFE.
The Congressman's Condition Very Ser.
ious-Family at the Sick
Mans Bedside.

LEBANON, Mo-, June 6.-Congress-
man Richard P BANDS condition was
very serious, and grave fears were en-
tertained for his recovery. While he
had rallied somewhat from the appar-
ent collapse of Sunday, there was great
anxiety ON the part of his immediate
friends and the attending physicians.
All the members of his family are at the
congressman s bedside, the absent ones
having been summoned by telegraph.
The patient is suffering from nervous
prostitution, the result of an attack of
grip shortly after his return from Wash
ington, and he has been confined to his
room for. two months. His extreme
physical weakness is at present the most
alarming feature of the case, which at
his time of life renders the issue ex-
tremely doubtful. His inability to sleep
without the use of opiates is another
element of danger.

spirators We're perfect aud worthy of
the genius of 1; Napoleon But the great
question was the matter of providing
sustenance for this vast number of men.
The supply of food would be exhausted
in three weeks, and the United States
government would patrol the border
line and prevent any assistance from
being sent into the country of the new
republic. After going over this matter
the officials of the republic could find
no way TO suTmolnt this difficulty, so
they regretfully abandoned the enter
prise.
The matter did not end here. At the
very moment the leaders decided TO quit
the story of the affair leaked ont in
some way. The editor of one of Mr..
Smith s rival newspapers, the San Diego
Union. heard of the affair, and cne aft
ernoon that sheet came out with an ex
posure of the whole plot.
As soon as the news became public
property it created sensation. The
conspirators got frightened, except Mr..
Smith. who kept at his work in San
Diego and took part in the newspaper
controversy which followed. He used
in his paper the quotation of Ben Hill
of Georgia, 1.-The Mexicans are irwin
chile in peace and invisible in war.
This created a sensation, and it was a
bold thing to do, considering that many
Mexicans are in this city A colonel
from overt the border heard of it and
challenged Smith to duel The condi-
tions of the contest We're that the meet
ing should take place III Mexico, and it
was clearly the intention to hang the
American as soon as he left his native
soil Although the colonel came to
town. Smith was not frightened, and
he replied TO the Mexican in this way:
.'If you come armed into this office,
you will get shot. If l meet You ON the
street, you will get licked. The colo
mel kept out of sight.
Among the other leaders of the revo-
luton panic was created. Major
Buchanan Scott was in Ensenada when
he first learned OF the action of the San
Diego Union. The man who nearly
missed generalship Immediately got
on the back of mule and started for
the land of the free. The major kept on
running until be reached India. He is
now director of the mint in Bombay

Marry and Part For a Year.

Among the many peculiar customs
prevalent among the people of Central
America IS ;iiIsf OF parting for one year
after the marriage ceremony has been
solemnized. This custom has prevailed
among the .IarnOs from time immemO-
rial There is no courtship allowed to
be carried on between the parties prior
to the wedding. When man selects a
woman, he obtains the consent Of the
parents on both sides, and if this is
given they are at once married.
The reason. however, for their not
living together as man and wife for
one year after marriage is in order to
permit Of the parties visiting and
staying with their respective friends
in different parts of the country. which
is customary thing and occupies the
time specified. Ninety-nine out of 100
of these marriages turn out well.

occasion to employ it, in the mean

SO many influences and unforeseen
contingencies that the wisest are to-

Know. then, that Doan's Ointment
will cure any case of hemorrhoids
commonly known as piles or any dis
ease of the cuticle or skin, generally
termed eczema. This is proven by
testimony appearing in Akron news
papers and by the reports brought
daily to Lamparter ~ Co. S drug gstore
by those who are ready to swear to
the claims made for this ointment
simply because they have incontro-
vertible evidence to back them up.
