styles himself. went through the wnirl-
pool rapids of the Niagara River this aft
ernoOn, in the presence OF about 10 coo per-
sens, in his craft. the FOOlkiIer The
boat was towed TO y rock about one mile
above the rapids and there secured. The
point was difficult to reach By officials
from either the American or Canadian
shore who might have 0een disposed 10

venture.
Shortly after o'clock Mr.. Bowser was
seen On his boat. A little later James
Labland pulled up in a rOwboat and towed
the Foolhiller, with Bowser aboard. into
the current. At 3:57 the start down the
stream was actually commenced, but the
fckle eddies kept the FoolkiIler drifting
about until 40, when she got into the
whirlpool current and started for the final
plunge. Passing under the cantilever
bridge, the boat took on the speed of an
express train. Bowser threw his oar far
from him and waved his cap. The crowd
saw the Graf: rise on the crest OF d smooth
wave and then dive into the leaping spray
and disappear.
Turned Over Like a Top,
The strange craft turned over and over
like top, rolling and plunging until 1t
passed a bend in the river, and the most
perilous part of the journey had been
passed. The buOyant craft kept on the
crest OF the waves until submerged again
on the verge of the whirlpool. Shooting
into the whirlpool the FoolkiUer swung
around and went down like a fishing bob.
but rose again quickly. For the next
ffty-fiye minutes BOWser and his boat cir
cled around the whirlpool. Shortly before
o'clock the FoOlkiller was carried out 70

A cheap remedy for coughs and
colds is all right, but you want some
thing that will relieve and cure the
more severe and dangerous results of
throat and lung troubles. What shall
you do? Go to warmer and more
regular climate? Yes, if possible; if
not possible for you, then in either
case take the only remedy that has
been introduced in all civilized coun-
tries with success in severe throat and
lung troubles, "Boschee's German
Syrup" 1t not only heals and stim-
ulates the tissues to destroy the germ

Portance at the present hour. but are
nevertheless close to his heart, to be
ignored by the democratic national
convention, even though such a stand
might have lost him the presidency,

has no program for the treatment OF
the Filipinos. Its program is definite
and is now known to all. The time
has come for a more definite state
ment of republican policy and its de-
fense on it's merits. After this speech
and the evident democratic purpose
to press the fight on these lines, there
can be no evasion of the issue.
"Mr. Bryan, after having stated his
belief thatif this nation surrenders its
belief in the univeral application of
the principles of the declaration of IL
dependence it would lose the prestige
and influence which it has enjoyed
among the nations as an exponent OF

fine appeal for the continued moral

only add that all Americans, of what

CHANCE OF A LIFETIME
For InvaIids to Get Cured Free of Charge
by Calling on the British Doctors
at No. 1909 Second Avenue

A staff of eminent physicians and
surgeons from the British Medical in
stitute have, at the urgent solicitation
of large number of patients under
their treatment in this vicinity, estab-
Eshed permanent branch of the in
stitute in this city at No. 1902 Second
avenue.
These eminent gentlemen have de-
cided to give their services entirely
free for three months (medicine ex-
cepted) to all invalids who may call
upon them for treatment between now
and Aug. Is. These services consist
not only of consultation, examination
and advice, but also of all minor sur
gical operations.
The object in pursuing this course
is to become rapidly and personally
acquainted with the sick and the af-
flicted. and, under NO condition what
ever will any charges be made for any
services rendered for three months to
all who call before Aug. Is.
The doctors treat al forms of dis
ease and deformities, and guarantee a
cure in every case they undertake. AT
the first interview a thorough exami-
nation is made, and, If incurable, you
are frankly and kindly told so; also
advised against spending your money
for useless treatment
Male and female weakness, catarrh
and catarrhal deafness, also rupture.
goitre, cancer, varicocele, and all dis
eases of the rectum, are positively
cured by their new treatment.
