GIVEN A LIFE SENTENCE.
Alleged Conspirators in the WeIIand
Canal Explosion Found Guilty.

Toronto, Ont, May 26-In less than
fifteen minutes a Canadian jury found
Nolin, Walsh and pullman guilty of de-
stroying property in the Welland canal by
dynamite, and they were then sentenced
10 Imprisonment for life. 1t was such a
clear case, said the judge, that there
could be no doubt about the guilt of the
two men Nolin and Walsh, whilst Dull
mans connection with these two was also
made manifest. The law on the subject
was quite clear, and if the men were,
first of all, illegally in possession of dead
ly explosives, and then proceeded to de-
stroy property herewith, the law i'm
posed life sentence on the guilty, and so
they were sentenced accordingly.

INVASION OF TRANSVAAL.
Lord Roberts Expected to Move on Jo-
hannesburg Next Week.


London, May 26.-As anticipated the
first news from Lord Roberts after his
long silence was the announcement that
the British had crossed the Vaal river
Gen. HuttOnS column may be expected
to make a dash at the railroad in the
neighborhOod OF Potschefstroom, whence
there is direct communication with Jo-
hanneSburg. Gen. Hamilton's column is
at BOschbank, which is close to the river
about eight miles northwest of Wolve-
hook, Lord Roberts headquarters, and
may be expected to also cross the Vaal
river and create a diversion on
the flank of any federal force in
the neighbOrhood OF Nereeninging
AS he had only about If
teen miles to traverse, a speedy announce
ment may be expected that the British
communicating chief himself has gained a
foothold i'll the Transvaal and that he
will reach the federal position south of
johannesburg in the middle of the com
ing week. The same secrecy which
shrouded the movements of the main
army envelops Lord Methuen's and Gen
Rundle's columns, So probably, the next
official dispatches will show decisive
movements of these wings. Rumble ought
to be close to Bethlehem by now and
the experts expect to hear Of some de-
cisive movement on the Harrismith rail
road, in which part of Gen. Buffers force
will cooperate in the direction of Van

UNIONIST VICTORY.
Pro-Boer Candidate for Lord Lorne's
Seat in the Comm ons Defeated.

London, May 26.-The election in South
Manchester to fill the vacancy in the
House of Commons caused by the success
sion Of the Marquis of Lorne to the
Dukedom of Argyll, which gives the duke
a seat in the House of Lords, resulted in
the return of w. 4. w. Peel, eldest son
of Viscount Peel, who stood in the Union
list interest. He received 5497 votes
against 345S cast for Mr.. Jones, the Lib
eral candidate.
South Manchester was undoubtedly a
Liberal district from 1885 until 1895,
when the Marquis of Lorne was elected
by majority of only rs. The constitu-
ency was formerly represented by Sir
Henry Roscoe, home ruler. Thus both

shire, where Capt. Sealy, Unionist, was
elected by majority. of 1902, and in

corded in favor of the war candidates.
This will immensely strengthen the gov
eminent in it's determination to force a

Chronic Cough S and Colds Are Cat arr h al
 Diseases.
Catarrh is the Contin- ual Scourge of
 ChriStendOm.

Catarrh hovers ominously over every city, and nestles treacherously in every hamlet. It flies with vampire wings from country to country and casts a black shadow of despair over all lands. Its stealthy approach and its lingering stay makes it dread to the physician and a pest to the patient.
 It changes the merry laugh of child hood to the wheezy breathing of croup, and the song of the blushing maiden to the hollow cough of consumption. In its whitening grasp the rounded form of the fond wife and mother becomes gaunt and spectral, and the healthy flush of manhood turns to the sallow, haggard visage of the invalid.
 Cough takes the place of conversation, speech gives way to splitting, the re- pulsive odors of chronic catarrh poison the kiss of the fondest lovers, and thick

New Orleans, December 5.-The sessions of the Southern Industrial Convention to- day were marked by strict application to business and though it looked for while as though the programme would become cogged, owing to length of some of the morning papers, when the convention ad- journed at half past ten tonight the pro- gramme had been completed. The morn- ing was devoted to a very thorough dis cussion of the subject of technical edu- Sation and the papers presented were by eminent educators in this line. During the afternoon an opportunity was given to the representatives of several projected exposi- tions to lay before the convention the ob- jects and purposes of these expostions. In this way the projects of the Charleston Exposition, 1901, the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis in 1903, and the Bir- mingham Exposition in 1904 were explained

 Catarrh in some form, catarrh in some stage turks as an enemy in the slightest cough or cold and finishes it's fiendish work in heart disease and consumption.
 No tissue, function, or organ of the body escapes it's ravages muscles with CT, nerves shatter, and secretions dry up under it's blighting presence. So stubborn and difficult of cure is this dis ease that to invent remedy to cure chroniccatarrh has been the ambition of the greatest minds in all ages.
 Is it therefore any wonder that the vast multitude of people who have been cured of chronic catarrh by Peruna arc so lavish in their praise of this remedy? That the discovery of Peruna has made the cure of catarrh a practical certainty is not only the testimony of the people, but many medical men declare it to be true.
 As drug store in this age of the world is incomplete without Peruna, it can be obtained anywhere with directions for use. A complete guide for the preven- tion and cure of catarrh and all diseases of winter, sent free by The Peruna Med- icine Co.,, Columbus, Ohio.
