Relieve and Cure.

"The doctor tried but couldn't relieve me"
is phrase commonly met with in the letters
we receive from grateful patients. The
reason is plain, The doctor tries to cure the
symptom and neglects the disease. In all
cases of chronic headache, nervousness,
weakness, general debility, dizzy spells, loss
of appetite inability to sleep, lack Of energy,
loss Of flesh, lack of interest, morbid tend
encieS, hysteria, the disease is 4 nervous dis
order and some means must be taken to
strengthen and restore the nervous system.
DR.. Miles Restorative Nervine is performing
wonders every day and will cure you as it
has thousands of others. Read how quickly
it acted in the following case:
"a few years ago / was greatly troubled
with nervousness and indigestion. While at
work a dizzy spell would come over me. and
| would be forced to stop and rest. | suffered
terribly from headaches and my nervousness
was so marked as to cause almost constant
twltchng of the muscles. My doctor tried
but could not relieve me. | finally began
the use of DIR. Miles Restorative Nervine
and continued until | have used four bottles,
although have not had a dizzy spell since
taking the first dose | am very thankful for
what your medicine has done for me and
shall take pleasure in recommending it
whenever | can."-FRANK p BENTLEY, Mid

First News of His Fate Reaches
: This Country through

THREE IN THE PARTY KILLED

Winnipeg, Man. July THE Rev.
DR.. Ferlies, a Church of England
clergyman, arrived from York Fac
tory, Northwest British Territory,
and brings authentic information Of
the fate of Explorer Andre and his
companions. b.. t.r .u,l.l,
Two years ago, 1900 miles north Of
York, q party of Eskimos. under the
leadership of "Old Huskie," saw the
Andre balloon alight on q plain Of
snow In that vicinity, which is almost
two miles north of Fort Churchill.
Three men emerged from the balloon,
and some of "Huskie's" people APP
preached them out of curiosity.
As they did so one of Andres com
panions tired off a gun. This is sig
nal to uncivilized natives for battle.
1t is regarded as challenge, and al
most instantly the natives fell upon
the three explorers and massaored
them. Everything pertaining to their
outfit was carried away to the homes
of the natives on the north borders OF
the arctic region.
"Old Huskie" himself gave this
information to Ralph Alstine, agent
for the Hudson Bay company, and the
story, after being investigated by DR..
Ferlies. was told by him today. He
says that there is little room for
doubt, as frequent reports have since
come of the strange implements which
the north natives have in their posses
sion, the telescope being particularly
described.
The Hudson Bay company has re.
Gently offered reward for the recov.
tery of any portion Of the outfit be-
longing 20 Andre, and though natives
have gone on the search for them,
they have never returned, believing,
as DR.. Ferlies says, that they will in
some way be punished, for they now
understand that It was not an attack
upon them, but an accident by which
the gun was discharged that precipi-
tated the massacre.

The city council will meet tonight
in regular session, with three weeks
accumulation Of business. 1t is prob
able the session will be an interesting
one.
The fire committee may recommend
to the council that the hose deal mud
die be dropped and the hose paid for.
although it was empowered to buy the
hose it deemed best, and the council
will probably rstify its action, what
ever it may be.

mend an attorney to revise the ordi'
nances Of the city will recommend
Mr.. J. q. Flournoy, and should the
selection be ratified by both boards,
work will begin at once.
The ordinance revising the milk and
meat inspectors ordinance may be
ready for presentation. 1t is made
necessary by the fact that no one mar
can comply with the requirements Of
the old ordinance, and the city NIGH
as we'll be without an inspector undel
the present ordinance.
The railroad committee will prob
ably make a report on the advisability
of permitting the Illinois Central to
run a switch down Myers street in
Mechanicsburg for the benefit of the
factories there.
A report is expected from the board
of special supervisors.
The question of allowing the city
clerk an assistant may come up again.
Acting City Attorney Lightfoot re-
ported at the last meeting that 1t could
not be legally done, but ATTORNEY
worten has returned and is expected
to give different sort of opinion.
The ordinance for steam heating
franchise will probably be given final
passage.

of compelling corporations to pay the
difference between the amount Of fran
