CONGER WILL RETURN,
Minister to China at Home Only for Sixty
Days Chinese Killed 10000 Ma
tive Christians.

San Francisco, April 27.-Edward Fl.
Conger, United States minister to
China, found a great mass of letters
and kilograms awaiting MS attention
when he landed from the steamship
which brought him from the orient
Concerning events in China, Mr.. Con-
ger said that there was nothing new
to be said in that direction. Tales
of brutality had, he thought been e1-
aggerated. OF course, there were
cases of outrage by individual sol
diers which were not sanctioned by
officers. There were but incidents Of
n war which found some palliation in
the fact that the Chinese had killed
10000 native Christians and 100 Euro
peans. Asked in regard to his future
plans. Minister Conger said he would
remain in this city until Saturday
morning. when he would leave for his
home in Des Moines. At the expira-
ton of his 60 days leave of absence
he intended to return to China. He
would go back sooner if anything i'm

HIS LIFE ThE PENALTY.
Thomas Ketchum. Alias "Black Jack"
Hanged at Clayton. N. NJ, for Rob-
bing 3 Train in August, 1899.

Clayton, n. NJ, April 27.-Twenty
armed deputies were on guard all
night at the Jail here in anticipation
of an attempt to rescue Thomas E.
ketchum, alias BLACK jack the
train robber who was executed here
at one o'clock Friday. Ketchum re-
-eived the ministrations of a priest
early in the morning. He ate Il
hearty breakfast, took bath and said
he was ready to die at any hour.
A few hours before his execution
ketchum wrote a letter to President
Mckinley, pleading for the liberty of
Leonard Albertson,- Walter Huffman
and Bill Waterman, now in the Santa
Fe On. ND penitentiary for robbing
the mail at STEMS pass, Ariz., in 1897.
He declared that these men were in
nocent, and that the men who COM
mitted the crime were Dave Atkins,
Ed Bullin, VIII Carver, Sam Ketchum,
Broncho Bill and himself
Thomas ketchum, alias "Blacl<
jack was the most noted desperate
of the southwest. Although he boast
ed of having taken the lives of many
fellow beings, yet he finally paid the
forfeit with his own life for an at
tempted train robbery in which no.
body was killed. This crime was COM
mitted near FOLSOM, N. NJ, August is,
1899. Single-handed "Black Jack"
held up a Colorado & Southern passen-
ger train. The conductor and mail
agent opened fire on him, which lie
promptly returned. He received the
contents of double -barreled shot
gun in his right arm. but quickly
changing the rife to his left shoulder.
he succeeded in wounding both con-
ductor and mail agent. He then es-
capped in the darkness, but was cap
tured the next day.

mo FAITH IN SERUMS.
New York Physicians Discredit the
Reports of Consumption Cures
by DR.. Villar.
NATURE is THE ONLY REMEDY.
Dr. Shrady, of New York, Says That After
Centuries of Experiments the Medical
Profession Is Convinced That Change
TO Dry, Pure Air Is the Proper Treat
ment-Hare Been Thousands of Cures.

Buenos Ayres, April 27.-Dr. Carlos
l.. NiIlar, an Argentine army surgeon.
has just published a report of the
treatment of so cases of tuberculosis
with his serum at the military hos
pital in this city. tuberculosis in the
early stage, says DR.. Villar, was cured
with 40 days. Patients whose cases
were more advanced, but without COM
pllcations, he reports, were all cured
within 80 days. OF those patients
whose cases were far advanced all
were cured except those who could
offer very little resistance to the dis
ease. Hypodermic injections are made.
varying in quantity every second,
third, fourth or fifth day, according
TO individual eases.
DIR. George f. Shrady, of New York
city, in an interview commenting upon
the above, said that the medical pro-
fession did not place much confidence
in the serum treatment of tuberculo-
SIS. There have been many expert
ments of this nature" said he, "since
the announcement of the discovery of
Prof. Koch in 1876. The so-called tu-
berculin of Koch is now seldom used,
except for demonstrating tubercu-
lOsiS in cattle. The serum treatment
has not been of any real value in con-
sumption. The medical profession
now holds, after centuries of expert
ments, that the proper treatment for
tuberculosis is a change to dry, pure
air. The impression that men are not
cured of consumption is prevalent
and an erroneous one. There have been
thousands of cures. The disease may
be cured if nature is able to throw
off the solid matter from the lungs.
Pure air. good food and exercise build
up the natural powers of resistance.
The fact that Prof. Villar does not
give the formula of his remedy would
prejudice the medical profession
against it. A remedy designed to ben
eft the human race should be as free
as air or water"

APPALLING DEATH LIST.
Over Eighty Killed and $50 Wounded In
the Chemical Works Explosion Near
Frankfort, Germany.

Frankfort, Germany, April 27.-No
less than so bodies have been recov-
cred from the debris at the electro
chemical works near Griesheim, but
there are still many missing. About
$50 persons were injured, many of
them seriously. The work of fighting
the flames proceeded throughout the
entire night, though the danger of fur
ther explosions was regarded as avert
ed at midnight. A number of chill
dren who were hurled by the explo-
sion into the river Main were drowned
before the rescuers could reach them.
There was fresh outbreak of the
flames among the ruins which revived
apprehensions and after the explosion
of great benzine reservoir, orders
were issued that every one in the vii
lage of Griesheim and it's vicinity must
evacuate their premises forthwith.
The inhabitants fled, panic-stricken.
with such possessions as they could
hastily collect. most of them going
to Frankfort. Even the firemen,
salvagers and soldiers left the scene
of disaster.

CABINET is HOPEFUL.
Optimistic Feeling in Washington That
the Visit of the Cuban Commission
VIII Result I'm Much Good.

Washington, April 27.-The cabinet
meeting Friday, the last one before
the presidents departure for the Pa
cific coast was occupied almost eXclu-
sively with the discussion of the visit
of the Cuban commission. Secretary
Root, who has been conducting the
conferences with the commission. sub
mitted rather eXhaustively an account
of the interviews he had had with
them. Secretary Root will hold an
other conference with the commission
ers before their departure. The pres
&1ent will not see them again except
to formally bid them farewell. The
general feeling of the cabinet was that
the result of the commissions visit
could not be but extremely beneficial.
Altogether it would not be too much
10 say that the cabinet generally is
hopeful that the convention. after
hearing the report, will he disposed to
accept the Platt amendment.

HUSBAND AND WIFE.
Veteran of the Civil War, Tells an
Interesting Story.

Efiingham, ILL.,, April % (SpeciaD. i.
|-Uriah S. Andrick is now 81 years of
age. Mr.. Andrick served through the
whole of the Civil War. He was wound
ed, three times by ball, and twice by
bayonet.
When he entered the service of his
country in 1854, -hs-sws Ahale--and
hearty, and weighed 1913 pounds. Since
the close of the war, however, Mr.. AM
drick has had very bad health.
For fifteen years, he never lay down
in bed for over an hour at time. He
had acute Kidney Trouble, which grew
troubled him very much.
On Oct. 18th, 1900, he was weighed,
and weighed only 102 pounds, being but
a shadow of his former self He COM
menced using Dodd's Kidney Pills ON
the 26th of last December, and on Feb.
Goth was again weighed, and weighed
LAG pounds. He says:
Il have spent hundreds of dollars
and received no benefit, until on the
26th of December last, I purchased one
box of Dodd's Kidney Pills. I am
cured, and / am free from any pain. I
have not the slightest trace of the
Bright's Disease, and I can sleep well
all night. 1 was considered hopeless
case by everybody, but to-day am
well man, thanks to Dodd's Kidney
Pills.
'For the last sixteen years my wife
has been in misery with bearing down
pains, pains in the lower part of the
abdomen and other serious ailments.
When she saw what Dodd's Kidney
Pills were doing for me she COM
menced to use them. She now feels
like another woman. her pains have all
disappeared and her general health is
better than it has been for years.
"She is SO taken up with Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and what they have done for
us that she has gone to Mr.. Cornwell's
Drug Store and bought them for some
of her friends for fear that if they
went themselves they might make
mistake and get something else.'
There is something very convincing
in the honest simple story of this old
veteran and his wife.
! Dodd's Kidney Pills are the only
Remedy that ever cured Bright's Dis
ease, Diabetes or Dropsy. They never
fail.

San Juan, p. r., April 27.-It is not
likely that more emigration agents
will come here. Those already here
had 1000 natives recruited for Hawaii
and expected to ship 1000 of them on
the steamer Californian Wednesday,
but she sailed with only 544 emf
grants. The agents announce that
this is due to the opposition of the
planters, who wish TO retain the la
borers available until harvesting be-
gins and that therefore any further
attempts on large scale TO promote
immigration will be useless. Secretary
Hunt says the alcaldes and other Off
cials in the interior towns acknowl-
edge that the times are much better
than year ago and that the pessi-
mists are gradually changing their
opinion. The recent appropriation for
road work will provide employment
for hundreds of people and open up a
wonderfully rich coffee country which
ut present is difficult to reach.
Mr.. Hunt says there is no doubt that
the entire opposition to Gov. Allen
proceeds from the disappointed party
which did not vote i'm the elections of
1900 and which is now so anti-Amer-
lean that its chief prohibits his fol-
lowers to accept government appoint
ments. Yet the richest planters and
merchants in the island are enrolled
in this party. Level-headed people see
progress in the near future. The fed
erals do not like to see the school
houses springing up. They are rich
and do not worry about the education
of their own children, but it annoys
them to see the poorer classes being
educated to their intellectual level.
