Sluggish Blood

The blood should not creep lazily
through the veins. It should run swiftly,
carrying life and health to every organ.
Indigestion, constipation, dyspepsia and
nervousness invariably accompany poor
circulation. Purify and invigorate the
blood with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
and these diseases will disappear. The
Bitters also prevents malaria, fever and
ague, and cures all ailments of the stom-
ach. See hat a private revenue stamp

CHICAGO WINS AGAIN.
Drainage Canal Will Flow on
Until April 2.

Washington. Jan. 22-In the case of
the state of Missouri VS.. the state of
Illinois, involving the petition for an
injunction against the Chicago drain
age canal, the United States supreme
court decided to permit the attorney
general of Missouri to file his bill
making the summons to the defendants
returnable on April ?.
In connection with this decision Nkr.
B. Schumacher, representing the state
of Missouri, asked for a temporary re-
straining order against the Chicago
drainage district, prohibiting the opera
tion of the canal during the tendency
of the proceedings in this court. He
said the canal had been opened since
the proceedings had begun here, and
with the full knowledge of the proceed
ing.
In reply Chief Justice Fuller said that
it was impossible for the supreme court
to exercise original jurisdiction in a
suit between states without giving no.
tice; that, sixty days were required for
a return, and that nothing could be
done before the date upon which the
service was made returnable in the
main proceeding, viz, April 2.

CANT BE STOPPED.
Men Continue to Leave This
Country to Fight In
Boer War.

New York, Jan. pa Herald special
from Washington says:
Only one complaint has been register
ed at the state department that a fill
clustering expedition was organizing in
this country for the purpose of pro-
ceeding to South Africa. The complaint
was filed ten days ago by the British
ambassador, who gave the state depart
ment notification of the impending de-
parture of vessel from Philadelphia,
laden with an armed expedition in the
interest of the Beers. An investigation
by the treasury department disclosed
that the vessel was a seagoing tug with
about sufficient coal capacity to carry
it from Philadelphia to the Delaware
breakwater and back again.
Though the British ambassador un-
derstands that many men have been
recruited in this country for service in
the Boer army he has found it impossi-
BILE to stop the practice, as the Ameri-
can neutrality laws cannot be applied
to unarmed men leaving the United
States, no matter if their destination
may be the Transvaal. 1t would not be
surprising to the officials if the British
government were also obtaining re-
cruits here, but this as in the case of
the Boer agents cannot be established.

LONG WAR AHEAD.
After Relieving Ladysmith and
Kimberley British Will
Rest.

London, Jan. 22.-Though therei is con-
siderable anxiety as to the immediate
result of Gen. Buffers dash at Lady
smith which later developments indi-
cate was undertaken Independent of
Field Marshal Roberts, the war office
has come to the conclusion that the re-
lief of Ladysmith is only a matter of a
short time. According to the war office
officials ideas. a dash to the relief of
Kimberley will quickly follow the relief
of Ladysmith and then without doubt
a long spell of organization and per-
haps three or four months will elapse
before the column or columns will have
their transportation in a fit shape to
advance with the certainty of meeting
with no serious reverses. The latter
conditions are held by the authorities
to be absolutely essential before any
forward movement towards the inVas-
ion of the Transvaal is begun, hence
there is small probability for the war
ending inside of six months.

NEW ATLANTIC CABLE.
It Is to Run Via the Azores to New

Frankfort-on-the-Ma Jan. 22-The
annual report of the German-Atlantic
Telegraph company, of Cologne which
was founded in February, 1899, with 20
100000 marks capital, contains the con-
tracts with America and Germany for a
cable from Bari via the Azores to New
York. 1t must, under the German cOnces-
sion be laid by October.
The concession runs for forty years. If
one cable is insufficient. two may be laid.
When the dividend reaches s per cent the
company must lay a cable from the land

In order to secure the landing privilege,
the Azores company is compelled to give
the construction contract to the English

GRAND ARMY HEARD.
General Shaw Appears Before the
Pension Committee.

Washington, Jan. 22.-Gen. Albert D.
Shaw, commander-in-chief of the G. A.
R., and the pension committee of that
organization, had a hearing to-day be-
fore the house committee on invalid
pensions, on the pending bill to amend
and make more clear the act of June
q, 1890. Gen. Shaw spoke briefly and
the main arguments were made by
Chairman P. B. Brown, of GAINESVILLE,
Ohio, and Gen. Daniel E. Sickles, the
old commander of the Third army
corps. The principal feature of the ar
guments was that the law be made so
clear as to be beyond the possibility of
miseonstruction.
Some minor changes were proposed
in the Gallinger BILL and in the main
it's provisions were approved, as giving
the remedies desired.
Gen. SickIes added a vigorous plea
for adequate attention by the govern
ment to the veterans in their old age
and infrmities.

MEXICO SHAKEN.
Seven Killed and 60 Wounded
by Earthquake at Colima.

City of Mexico, Jan. 22.-News is ar
irving from the interior points affected
by an earthquake which occurred Fri
day night and Saturday morning.
Much damage was done to property in
GuadaIajara and the City of Colima,
capital of the state of the same name,
was the scene of terrific experiences,
accompanied with loss of life. The City
of Mexico came off comparatively I'M
scathed in the quake, few accidents oc-
curing here or there in the suburbs, al
though some adobe huts in The suburbs
fell in and one bridge was partly
wrecked. The Church of the Three
Kings at Atzechaza1co, in the suburbs,
was cracked and will be closed for re-
pairs. Scientists are still studying the
earthquake from data now being re-
ceived from interior points.
Colima, Mex, Jan. 22.-An earthquake
shock began here at a quarter before
midnight Friday and assumed serious
proportions at Tenimata, many houses
being badly injured and some of light
construction were wrecked. There was
great CONSERVATION and the people
rushed into the streets, some barely es-
Gaping with their lives. Seven people
were killed outright and sixty were
wounded and are being cared for by
local surgeons. 1t was reported that
the volcano had burst into eruption, but
it now appears that the phenomenon
was confined to subterranean manifes-
tations. Local scientific men believe
that the earth travelled from under
the Pacific ocean, and that when news
reaches here from the coast there will
be interesting details. The governor of
this state has appointed a commission
to inspect the churches and public edi-
fees, while owners of houses injured in
the earthquake will be compelled to
put them in condition of security.
Quiet has returned and there is little
apprehension of the return of the dis
turbances.
Guadalajara, Mex, Jan. 22-At mid
! night Friday an earthquake shock
cracked the arches and staircase of the
| palace and the portieoes of the Univer-
| sity and the De Gallado, theater, the
| latter one of the most massive struc-
| lures here. The churches of San Fran
cisco and San Jose were damaged. The
former is one of the handsomest edi-
| fees on the continent, and is locally
known as the golden cup. from the
magnificence of its interior. The gov
ernment has closed Sagracio church,
fearing the dome will fall in. Carmen
barracks were badly damaged, and
news from Zapatlan and Zarula state
that several houses were demolished.
The shock was felt severely at San
Bias, on the Pacific, and noises under
ground were heard, resembling the
hoarse rumbling of a heavy sea dashing
on shore. Meteorologist Ccnteras pre-
| diets a repetition of the shocks.
Vera Cruz, Mex, Jan. %. The earth
| quake Travelled across the country,
reaching here just after midnight Sat
urday morning. The shock was COM
paratively light here.

Strong Defensive Position OF Jo-
hannesburg illustrated.
New York. Jan. 22-'Even if they are
now driven back" said Samuel Stock
ton, of Johannesburg, who is in this
country waiting for cessation of hos
tilities, last night, at the Waldorf-As-
tOria, I don't believe that the Beers
have as yet fought the great battle of
the war. or even that this fight VIII oc-
cur in the mountain passes into their
country. Not even Laing's Mex is more
impregnable than Johannesburg, or,
either than Johannesburg can easily
be made to be. 1 don't. know that 1T
would be strictly correct to say that
Johannesburg is naturally defended, and
yet her impregnable condition is not
due to any effort or intent to make her
so, but has come accidentally and as an
incident to the mining that has been
carried on there.
THE rand belt of mines stretches for
a full 80 miles between Johannesburg
and the invading force at intervals of
between quarter and half mile
apart. At each mine are failing heaps
that is mounds of ground up rock and
debris, from which the gold has been
extracted. These tailings, which are of
tremendous height and breadth, ami
much resemble in size and contour the
waste heaps outside of the anthracite
coal mines in Pennsylvania, are each
and all practically impregnable natur-
al forts. while the short distance they
lie apart, with cannon mounted on them
would make it absolutely impossible for
the British to penetrate between.
"On the other hand, they can not be
battered down. and to attack them with
artillery would be simply to waste am
munition, for the shells would be lost.
Let them explode in any part Of the
mound. the shifting Stag would immed-
lately fill up the hollow thus made, and
the pile would be as before. Absolute
ly no advantage would accrue to the
attacking party.
Just to give you an idea of how
great quantity of these tailings there
must be, take the following calcula-
ton: There are mills with. say five
thousand stamps, in the Transvaal,
which have been running steadily for
five years. They, or a large part of
them, have really been running longer,
but for the sake of argument we will
put it at five years. That means there
are sufficient tailings adjacent toJohan-
nesburg to construct a fertilization 20
| feet wide by six feet in height from that
point continuously to Cape Town, and
even further"

TRAINS TAKEN OFF.
Passenger Service in Oklahoma on
H. & S. Discontinued.

The Santa Fe management has dis
continued running passenger trains over
the Hutchinson &, southern line in Ok
lahoma. This is due to the smallpox
epidemic in Kay county and the conse-
quent quarantine of the Kansas board
of health. Blackwell is the terminus
of the H & S. line, and the coaches of
the passenger trains have been allowed
to remain there for several hours. Until
the quarntine is raised the trains will
run only as far as the state line.
DR.. J. P. Kaster, CHIEF surgeon of the
Santa F'e, went into Kay county and
examined a number of cases of the pre-
vailing disease. He expressed the opin-
ion that it is undoubtedly smallpox.

BRITISH GAINED LITTLE.
Spearman's Camp, Natal Jan. %
Early on Sunday morning Gen. Warren
commenced a hanking movement on
the extreme left of the Boer position.
The infantry advanced at 5 in the
morning along the irregular Tabamyma
mountain, Which ends at Spionkop.
The artillery occupied positions behind
and on the plain. The British carefully
worked along the hills until within
1000 yards of a commanding kopJe, on
which the Beers were concentrated,
concealed behind immense boulders
strewn thickly over the hill. The artil-
1ery opened the attack and the batter
les worked continuously, pouring tons
of shrapnel among the Beers, who de-
voted their attention to musketry firing
on the British infantry. The Beers
stuck to their rocky fastnesses with
the greatest tenacity. and at the con-
cIusion of the day the British had only
advanced across a few ridges. The
Beers apparently have few guns, and
they did little damage. Capt. Honley,
Of the Dublin Fusiliers, fell mortally
wounded while leading his men to
seize a fresh point of vantage.
