An Eye Removed.

Maj. X. F. Talman, Detroit travel
ing salesman, has been discharged
from st. Anthony's hospital, where he
has been for several weeks. as the re-
suit of an operation for the removal
of one of his optics. The case is a
peculiarly sad one, in that Maj. Tai
man. who acquired his military title
in the civil war, is over 80 years of
age, and did not know that the eye
was permanently disabled until he
reached Rock Island. Upon consult
ing DIR. b. F. Hall. he was advised
that it was absolutely necessary to
remove the eye Immediately to pre-
vent more serious consequences.

There is more catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incura-
bic. For great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease, and
prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable-
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and, therefore,
requires constitutional Treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure. manufactured by
+. j. Cheney IL Co Toledo, Ohio, is
the only constitutional cure on the

The greatest beauty of the greatest
improvement of Mayor Medill's adj
ministration is the fact that, notwith-
standing the universal benefits the |
people derive from it, the reservoir |
will not increase taxes one penny. 1t |
is one of the self-sustaining indus |
tries of the day. 1t will pay for itself, |
the expense to come out of the water |
funds.
The people should not labor under
such an impression, although Mr.. Nc
Conochie's friends may attempt to
make them believe that such is the |
csse. that the reservoir improvement
will increase their taxes. Not a cop
per. 1t will pay for itself. The cost
of Iuilding the magnificent plant for
which Mayor Medill has worked so
hard and faithfully will be paid in it's
entirety from the water funds.
Few men who have filled the office
have worked as earnestly and faith
fully as Charles Il. Marshall, Rock ISL
ind's city attorney. He has fought
battle after battle in the courts in
behalf of taxpayers and won. He is
now involved in legal matters coming
under his official duties, which are
taking up almost his entire time. 1t

new man in his shoes just now. Keep

called the next witness, Major Ducros of
the artillery, who showed that Dreyfls
had abundant opportunities in 1894 to OBJ
tain information about guns, but did not
take advantage of them.
General Mercier tried TO belittle this tes-
itmony by saying DreyfuS was proba bIy
aware that knowledge of the Ducros gun
was no longer of Importance, since the gun
had been rejected IN favor of the Depot
gun.
Major Hartman of the artillery was the
next witness for the defense He asked
permission to refer TO certain of the docu-
meuts which were produced during tha
secret session of the court YESTERDAY

objected, as it was contrary to the IN

suzerainty question to drop
The dispatch of August q makes the
proposed concessions expressly condi-
tional upon Great Britain undertaking
not TO interfere in the future with the
Transvaal, not TO insist upon a further
assertion of existence of suzerainty and
to agree to arbitration.
The reply of the imperial Govern
ment, dated August 20, declares that
Great Britain considers that the propo-
sails put forward as alternative to those
of July 81 assume the adoption in prin-
ciple of a franchise which will not be
hampered by conditions impairing it's
usefulness and which will secure imme-
diate representation.
With respect to intervention, the i'm
nerial note says that the Government
cannot debar themselves from their
rights under the conventions or divest
themselves of the obligations of civil
lied power to protect it's subjects
abroad from injustice.
The note concludes by reminding the
T,ransyaal that other matters exist
which the grant of a political franchise
will not settle and which are not the
nroner subjects for arbitration. These,
the note declares, it will be necessary
To settle concurrently with the ques-
tions already under discussion, and
thew will form, with the questions of
arbitration, proper subjects for the
proposed Cape Town, conference.
