Too much stress cannot be placed on
the great value Of Cutlcura Soap, 0int-

afording pure, sweet and economical
local and constitutional treatment for
weakening alterations, infammations,

beauty to weary women, who have
been prematurely aged and invalided
by these distressing ailments, as well as
such sympathetic Affections as an@mia,
chlorosis, hysteria, nervousness and

Women from the very first have fully
appreciated the purity and sweetness,
the power to afford immediate relief,
the certainty Of speedy and permanent

Serious Illness.

Between Lifeian Death at
St. Vincent's.

Mayor Thomas l.. Johnson, of Cleveland
is in the city and spent the greater part of
last night at the bedside of his brother, Will
lam Johnson, OF Detroit, who lies in a crit
ical condition. suffering from hemorrhages
of the stomach at st. Vincents Hospital
Late last night it was said at the hospital
that Johnson's condition is extremely grave.
DR.. o. G.. Pfaff, who is attending the strick-
en- man, said that there is little hope for his
recovery.
William L. johnson came to Indianapolis
a week ago Friday to look after some real
estate the family has here. He was in poor
health when he came to the city, but until
about the middle of the week did not COM
plain much. He met a number of his old
friends here and spent the most Of the time
with Jay voss. with whom he was inti-
mately acquainted. He had arranged to go
with Mr. voss to the latter's farm in Hamil-
ton county last Wednesday, but the trip
was postponed on account Of his physical
condition. Friday evening Mr.. Johnson was
taken suddenly ill with hemorrhages In his
room at the Claypool and physicians ad-
vised that he be removed to the hospital.
He was taken to st. Vincent's at once. He
grew rapidly worse and has been uncon-
scious the most OF the time.
ARRIVAL OF BROTHER.
Tom l.. Johnson, Clevelands mayor and
the brother of the sick man, was apprised
of his brothers serious illness by wire.
Mayor Johnson had been in New York for
some time and was on his way home Fri

w. /. Buchanan Named by the

Hold an Election.

LEAvENWoRTH. Kan. Dec. 12.-Gen- J.
Franklin Bell. commander at Fort Leaven-
worth, has received a message calling him
to Washington. He started east to-day.
Some of the local officers profess to believe
that General Bell is to be called into con-
ference over Isthmus of Panama matters.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-The coming OF
General Bel to Washington, while IL has
more or less to do with matters connected
with the general staff college is admitted
tonight by officers of the general staff to
be for the purpose Of consulting with the
officials regarding a probable campaign
against Colombia should that country con-
tinue the movement of troops toward the
isthmus. It was intimated that matters
had reached the point where troops might
be necessary TO be moved al any time.
which would seem to indicate that the de-
partment is In possession of information
the tenor of which justifies actual prepara-
tions for the movement OF United States
troops toward Panama. Although the fact
would not be disclosed. the presumption is
that in the event of troops being sent Gen.
Bell will be put In command.
