CANAOA'S CAPITAL AROUSED.
Never Was There Such Excitement
Physicians Association Trying
EypIaIn.

Ottawa, Canada, Nov. 25th.-This
city is stirred up as never before.
Some seven years ago the local papers
published an account Of a man named
George II. Kent of 40S Gilmour street,
who was dying of Bright's Disease and
who at the very last moment after
several OF our best physicians had de-
clared he couldn't live twelve hours,
was saved by Dodd's Kidney Pills.
People who know how low Mr.. Kent
was refused to believe that he was
cured permanently and the other day
In order to clinch the matter the pa
pers published the whole case over
again and backed up their story by
sworn statements made by Mr. Kent,
In which he declares most positively
that in 1894 he was given up by the
doctors and that Dodd's Kidney Pills
and nothing else saved him, and fur
ther that since the day that Dodd's
Kidney Pills sent him back to work
seven years ago, he has not lost a
single minute from his work. (He is
a printer in the American Bank Note
Printing Company
Mr. Kent is kept quite busy during
his spare hours answering inquiries
personally and by letter, but he Is so
grateful that he counts the time well
spent. Indeed he and his wife have
shown their gratitude to Dodd's Kid
ney Pills In very striking way by
having their little girl-born in 1896
christened by the name of "Dodds."
Altogether 1t is the most sensational
case that has ever occurred in the his
tory OF medicine in Canada and the
perfect substantiation Of every detail
leaves no room to doubt either the
completeness or the permanency Of
the cure.
The local physicians have made the
case OF Kent and Dodd's Kidney Pills
the subject Of discussion at several Of
the private meetings OF their associa-
tion.

The Deputy is Game.

Deputy Game Warden Brewster re,
turned from his hunt in Lake Michi-
gan, having made the biggest seizure
Of nets and fish ever reported on the
great lakes. He captured Is miles Of
new trout nets belonging to the A.
Booth Co., of Chicago, and valued
at $4,000. He has thus antagoniZed
the fish trust, and big legal events are
expected to follow.
The nets were found in Michigan
water, the trust having set them there
contrary to Michigan law, and in di-
rect defiance of the game warden and
his cruiser, Dornbos. The tug Harrow,
belonging to the Booth company, was
again sighted, but the expected battle
did not materialiZe
Brewster will cruise with big force
Of deputies fully armed in case Booth
decides to have his tugs and crews in
terfere. Thursday, 5000 pounds of fish
were confiscated and stored in the hold
of the boat.
The tug Edwards, which was sur
rendered, is now the property OF the
warden. The tug Ferry, which sur
rendered Monday, returned to ST. Joe
for the first time Thursday. Deputy
Brewster was informed by Game War
den Morse by wire that Illinois has a
closed season on all excepting rough
fish, from Oct 10 until Nov. 80. All
nets now set in Illinois are then con-
trary to law.

Croker Is Warm.

At the meeting of the rammany ex-
ecutiye committee yesterday afternoon
Richard Croker gave vent to his feel
ings:
Il am tired and sick Of being hound
cd by the press, the pulpit and the pub
lie. They resort to all manner OF un-
derhand means and to all sorts Of
falsehoods to defeat us. I have been
the target of their abuse for months
and the victim of their lies, but made
no reply to the harsh things they said
about me. | now defy them; l have
done so publicly, and challenge them
to prove their charges against me.
They don't dare to try it. Now, what
Tammany wants Is new blood, new
faces, new ideas-young men to awak-
en- public interest. l expect great
things from young men, and we can
reward them for their efforts in this
organization l depend upon you, gen.
tlemen, to get this new blood into
Tammany Hail."

The Bonine Jury.

The jury which Is to try Mrs. Ida
BONNIE in Washington on the charge
of numbering the young census clerk.
james S. Ayres, Jr., Of Michigan, was
finally selected Wednesday and the
trial opened Thursday. A number or
colored men were called, but all or
them were excused. Mr.. Douglas. rep
resenting Mrs. BONNIE, said, after the
court adjourned that he would reserve
his opening until after all the evidence
for the prosecution had been heard.
In his address, Assistant District At
torney Hugh L. Taggart contended
that the killing of young Ayres had
been felonious and malicious, ana
therefore was to be characterized as
murder, us charged in the indictment.
There was. he said, a tie between
the prisoner and the dead man in the
fact that Ayres was student OF den
tistry and she had studied medicine.
AS consequence she became ire

Ii Was MerciIess.

Wednesday things were made warm
for Mayor Perry. Of Grand Rapids. by
Prosecutor @. Il. Ward In examining
him regarding the pure water deal"
Perry was asked If he was city treas
urer of Grand Rapids, and II he
hadn't embezzled $4,000 OF the citys
money. He replied that he did, TO
pay bills contracted by the Democratic
party"
He was asked II he didn't give CHI
cago women jewels, and IL his bonds
men didn't try to get the jewels back.
He was asked II he had ever paid his
bondsmen He replied that he had
paid portion of the $4,000. He was
asked II he wasn't at present building
new house. He said he was.
Then Ward fired the question as to
why he didn't pay back his bondsmen
instead OF building house. He re-
piled that he bought the house through
building and loan association.
The mayor then went on bitterly to
say that he would get square with
Garman and Cameron when they got
to New York, and that the federal au-
thorities would look after them.
Few thought that Prosecutor Ward
would drag aside the veil from the
mayors dark past, but he did it coldly
and deliberately, IL not with degree
Of refined brutality. While the mayor,
previous to the ripping aside Of the
veil, had been flippant and caustic and
inclined to be ironical and sarcastic In
his remarks, when the veil fell he

The Yukon Fairy Tale.

This comes from Vancouver, B. c.:
The Yukon Instruction story is not
altogether without foundation. Some
hair-brained Americans drew up plans
for forcibly deposing the government
and police in the Yukon, somewhat
similar to the historical Jameson raid
in the Transvaal. Maj. Woods, NJ. p,
discovered the scheme and took
prompt steps to suppress 1t, American
officials at Skagway cooperating. The
discovery Of the scheme is supposed to
have nipped Ii in the bud. 1t Is
said the scheme originated in Seattle
and $250,0O0 was available to aid the
venture. The information has been
obtained from ey-police officers OF the
Yukon police force and members of
the gambling fraternity who have
come to the coast cities for the win.

officials who have just come down

Terrible Mining Disaster

What is likely tSprove the most dis
astrous accident that has ever occur
red in metallic mine in Colorado, re-
suited Wednesday from a fire which
burned the buildings at the mouth of
the Bullion tunnel, through which
the Smuggler-U Union mine is worked
and which filled the mine with deadly
gas and smoke. 1t is impossible to
give even an approximate estimate OF
the loss of life, but it is believed that
it will reach nearly 100. twenty-five
are known to have persisted. The
Smuggler-Un mine is one of the
oldest in the district and has several
abandoned openings. some Of which
were available. A rescuing party cut
a connection through from the COM
mission workings adjoining and took
out some of the men. The dense
smoke continued to pour into the tun-
mel and it was not until late Wednes-
day afternoon that it occurred to the
management to shut off the draft by
blasting rock into the tunnel. The
property loss is about $4,000, fully
covered by insurance.

SmnIInox killing Indians.

The increase in the number of cases
of smallpox among the Indians on the
northwest reservations is becoming
alarming, as the disease is rapidly
spreading among the whites.
Secretary Hitchcock has received a
telegram from Gov Shaw, Of Iowa,
sskin;f iba1Sle government officials CO.

ficialS to prevent Indians on the Sac
and> Fox agencies from wandering
among the whites, and thus distribut-
ing the disease among the whites.
The Indians refuse TO obey the quar-
antine regulations, and a great many
of them refused to submit to vaccina-
ton. The death rate among the az
flicted has been GO per cent. This same
condition exists in n smaller degree
at all Of the northwestern reservations.
The Indians even refuse medicine
from white men.

Iitchard Reraininr Sense.

Seneca Litchard, the Saline farmer.
who was found insensible just outside
of Ann Arbor two weeks ago, Is slow
ly improving. When spoken to he
emits n grunt and Friday night the
nurses succeeded in getting him to eat
some bread and milk with evident rel
ish. Conditions seem to point to the
theory that a blood clot has formed on
the brain ut the place where the motor
nerves take their origin. This is sus-
tained by the fact that Litchard is cap
able of receiving sensations, but is un-
able to stimulate more than part Of his
voluntary muscles. 1t is scarcely
thought that Litchard will ever regain
his perfect mental equilibrium, al
though he may recover physically. If
the clOt theory is true, it will by this
time have caused degeneration, which
can scarcely be repaired
