most sensational cases ever reported in tlis
city is that OF the nineteen year old son o.
Mr.. James A. Ellis, Saginaw, East Side,
The case reflects the greatest credit On

confined to his bed long before this ana
death was now looked for az any mcmert.

medicines, as he could not live.
Mr.. Ellis about this time saw Dodd's Kid
ney Pills advertised. He determined to pu.

An African King.

I Khama is king Of the Bamangwato
tribe. His 10000 subjects are called
Bechuanas, because they live in Be
chuanaland; but they resent this name
themselves, and do not acknowledge
it as tribal term. Khama is an old
man noWlean, hungry and as ugly as
only an old negro can be; but he is a
very good old man and in his way has
probably done more real good to the
cause of the natives than any other
two dozen native chiefs. He will not
allow any Intoxicating liquor what
ever to be sold anywhere within his
dominions.. He and all his people are
strict teetotalers, and there is a heavy
fine even for making tschuala, or
Kafhr beer, a comparatively harmless
Idecoction Of fermented mealie neal.
