deputies who had attended to the social
list gatherings here and who had partici-
pated in last nights demonstration. The
police this morning informed the Span

the station by large gathering Of social
lists bearing red flags. The king happened
to arrive at the same time and had diff

the crowd, but he finally found an open

Battle Creek, Mich, April l0.-The body

six months ago, and which was turned
over to an undertaken, in order that he
might test new embalming fluid, has
been exhumed.
The body has the consistency Of vul-
canized rubber, and might readily pass for
a statue of black marble, as the petrified
flesh is hard enough to take polish. There
is not the slightest trace of decomposition
or wasting, the features retaining their
fullness.
The experimenter says the fluid will
preserve the body for centuries. 1t was

cal company, and this test on the body

ANOTHER KEMARKABLE CASE
Which tho Doctors Failed to Cure OIL
Understand.


A medical man, as rule, dislikes to
acknowledge the value of proprietary
medicine. In fact, professional ETH
quette debars him from doing SO.
There are many eminent physicians,
those most avanced in thier profess
sions, who give full credit to the great
curative properties of Vogeler's Cura-
tive Compound from the fact that it is
manufactured by an old and reliable
company, proprietors of st. Jacobs Oil,
from the formula of brother physi-
cian, who today stands in the front
ranks of the most eminent medical
men, and on account of its intrinsic
merit it is largely prescribed by the
medical profession.
Mrs. Nettleton graphically relates the
particulars OF her own case, which will
doubtless be OF interest to many Of our
lady readers:

many years from dyspepsia, liver and
