Another great discovery has been

country. Disease fastened its clutches
upon her and for seven years she with

organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months
she copghed incessaatly, and could not
sleep She finally discovered a way to
recovery, by purchasing of us a bottle
of DR.. Kings New Discovery for Con-

VI Rural ElItor,s Ann sal.

This rs the time Of. year when the
country weekly ispues an exigent ap.
peal to It's subscribers to come forward
and settle their subscriptions.
1t IS customary for city papers to
make h,ht of this Macedonian cry of
their rural contemporaries, but in re-
atty It IS no Joking matter. The re.
sources Of the country weekly are gem
erally small and its exlstance may de-
pend upon the collection of such claims.
Moreover, the editor aud proprietor is
almost always a man of family, and the
smaller his proportion of worldly goods
the larger his share Of children, and
all are as eagerly expeotaut at Christ
mas as their city cousins. Nobody who
has moi ueen placed in the position Of q
fathet IL such circumstances can APP
precid his absolute need Of money at
such a -Jme.
Wei may the rural editor call on
these who owe him for at least q por-
tion Of his dues. He is everybody's
friend in the community, and does eve
rybody a service when occasion offers
and in equity he should have a right to
expect something more than the mere
sun Of his subscription list at this sea-
son when mems hearts are supposed
to be overAowing with good will. Yet
he isl most cases the last person to be
remembered.

The new year of Scribner's Maya
zine opens in the January number with
several features of great distinction
The place of honor is given to Governor
Roosevelt, who will contribute not only
his continued story of "The Rough
Riders" but other articles on the ma
val preparations, the strategy and other
important subjects growing out of the
war with Spain. The fr%ontispiece Of
the number is a drawing from life by
Charles Dana Gibson of Colonel Roose-
welt. and it is a most satisfactory inter-
probation of the salient qualities III the
face OF the new Governor of New York.
The first chapter of "The Rough
Riders" is entitled ''Raising the Regi.
ment," and from the very start it re-
veals those qualities of vigorous de-
scription that have become associated
with Col. Roosevelt as an author and
speaker. 1t has been said that he
knew almost every man in his regiment
and this article is filled with the COLON
els anecdotes Of notable men from the
east and west who composed the most
picturesque body Of lighting men Of
modern times.
The illustrations, which are to be a
feature Of this serial, have been chosen
by the Colonel himself from many hun
dreds Of photographs. The completed
narrative will be the most striking
book of the year, written by a man
holding Que of the most exalted posi-
tons in the government of our country.

firm belief is that had he. in the first

PLUTO" CLAIMS HIS
TRAINERS ROBBED HIM

NEW YORK, Jan. . 1S.-"Young
Pluto the Australian prize fighter,
who was beaten here last night by
George Dixon, appeared in the Police
Court to-day and was granted sum-
mons for his trainers. Pluto" or Will
liam Dudley Brown, as the young col
ored prize fighter is known in private
life, alleges that William Akers and
William Shannon, his trainers, both of
San Francisco, had appropriated his
share of last nights purse, 1925. Fur
Their, Pluto said that when he asked his
trainers for the money they knocked
him down, beat him, kicked him and
finally threw him out of the room.
Tom O'Rourke, manager of the Lenox
Athletic Club, where Pluto" had pre-
viously been pounded by Dixon, told
Pluto that his money had been handed
over to the trainers.
Pluto later appeared at police head
quarters and asked that a detective be
sent with him to serve the summons.
Pluto said he was afraid of his train
ers. A detective was sent with him.

The reception committee is composed

veterans Of the Grand Army of the Re-
public, in full uniform, are to be pres

will be stationed in the court and will
furnish the music during the reception.
The band was courteously rendered by
General c. z. Compton, commanding
the Preside. All of the army officers
now on duty here will be present.
One of the most interesting person.
ages in the generals party is Mariana
Uterro, his valet The boy is only 16
He is very handsome and speaks Eng
lish. He used to shave General Shafter
when he was in Santiago and the gen.
eral became so attached to him that he
offered to bring him to this country as
his valet and the boy accepted. He is
much interested in all that he sees, and
General Shafter declares that he has
lost him on an average of every five
minutes since he has had him. On the
trip out he had to keep an eye on the
boy to prevent his getting off at every
station.
In addition to the public reception to
be rendered General Shafter on Friday
evening, the prominent citizens of the
city, desiring to further express to the
general the high esteem in which he is
held by them, have arranged for a
series of entertainments in his honor.
On Saturday evening he will be the
guest of the Union League Club at a
dinner and on next Wednesday he will
be entertained by the members of the
Pacific Union.
