EX-GOV. WOLCOTT DEAD
Expires of Typhoid Fever-nis Career In
Massachusetts Politics.

Boston. Dec. 22.-Former Governor
Wolcott is dead at his home here of
typhoid fever. He was taken down
Nov. IL.
Roger Wolcott was born in Boston
July 13, 1917, the son of j. Hunting
ton and Cornelia Frothingham-W VOL
colt. He is a descendant of the Roger
Wolcott who was second in command
in the expedition of Sir William Pep
perell against Cape Breton in 1745,
which resulted in the capture of Louis
burg. Another ancestor was Oliver
Wolcott, one of the signers of the dec
laration of independence. Both Of
these Wolcotts were governor of Con-
necticut. Governor Wolcott's public
career began in 1877 as member of the
Boston common council. He was
elected lieutenant governor in 1893,
'94 and '95. and upon the death of
Governor Greenhalge, became acting
governor in 1896. In the fall of 1896

lures, working without intermission day
and night. When one felt the need OF
sleep he lay on couch, holding in his
hand a ball, beneath which, on the
floor, was a brazen bowl. When his
muscles relaxed sufficiently to release
the ball, it fell into the bowl, and the
noise wakened the sleeper who resumed
his work.
But it is one thing to give up sleep
and another thing altogether to be
unable to sleep. Those who suffer
from asthma, bronchitis and other dis
eases of the organs of respiration are
only too familiar with this enforced
wakefulness. They would give almost
anything for nights unbroken rest.
THE SECRET OF SLEEP
for them lies in the cure of the diseases
which Danish slumber. That this cure
is possible is abundantly proven by
those who have used Doctor Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery for the cure
of bronchitis, obstinate and deep-seated
coughs, lung utroublen and other dis
eases OF the organs of respiration.
"I can this day say that DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is the best
and only remedy have ever found for
what the doctors call asthma writes

Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery: and
best of all did not get the asthma with
the hay-fever, and only used two bottles
of the Golden Medical Discovery
The cures accomplished by the use of
uGolden Medical Discovery are as
numerous as they are wonderful. The
great triumphs Of this medicine have
been won in the cure of chronic dis
eases of many years standing. When
every other medicine had failed to do
more than give tempory relief, DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has
made . perfect and permanent cure.

Cape Town, Dec. 21.-A government
memorandum issued last evening
makes the following announcement:
The principal seat of action has been
transferred to the northern part of
Cape colony. Early Dec. 10 a large
body of Beers crossed the Orange riv-
er toward Burghersdorp. A British
force followed, to avoid which the
Beers turned westward and occupied
Venterstad Dec Is, but they evacuated
the town the same day on the approach
of the British, and marched in the di-
rectiOn of Steynsburg. The Beers, how
ever, have been intercepted and find
difficulty i'm moving i'm any direction,
as Steynsburg, Burghersdorp, Storm.
berg Rosmead and Naauwpoort are
all strongly held by the British, and
the Orange river has risen consider
ably in their rear.
Another 1000 Beers crossed at Sand
Drift, making for COlesburg, but on
the dispatch of a British force they
diverged and occupied Philipstown
Dec. 10, cutting the telegraph wires

further invasion will now be stopped.
except in the case of scouting parties
which may slip through to raid cattle
and to obtain much needed supplies.
Hitherto there has been very little
fighting, as the enemy in every instance
have retired before the British. They
took our garrison Of twenty men at
Venterstad prisoners. but the Mayors
fonteln garrison repulsed their attacks,
infiicting heavy loss, after some hours
fighting and a refusal of a demand
to surrender. 1t is probable that of
the two invading forces the former is
a part of DeWet's commando and the
latter consists of several small COM
mandoes hitherto operating in the west
of Orange River colony, and of num-
Der of rebels"
