Heavy storm in South Park,

Denver, Colo, Feb. 1.-THE most Sc
we're snow and windstorm experienced
in years prevails in South Park, on the
Gunnison and Leadyille branches OF the
Colorado & Southern railroad. The
Leadyille branch is snowbound between
Como and Breckenridge a distance Of
30 miles. Passenger trains are stalled
In the drifts between these points and
engines sent to their reScue became
fastened In the huge piles OF snow and
are helpless. Freight trains are also
stuck In the snow.
Unprotected livestock throughout the

STATISTICS ON TUBERCULOSIS
Chancellor Won Buclow Gives Some
Very Encouraging Ones.

Berlin, Feb. lG.--Chancellor Won Bue-
low sent to the reichstag today a
memorandum on the settlement Of the
Venezuelan disputes After briefly re-
viewing the incidents preceding the ne
gotiations, II says
According to the protocol, Venezuela
recognized all the claims raised by Ger
many as being justhable and we'll
founded. Germany's claims, which
the ultlmatum placed in the first rank,
arising from the Venezuelan civil wars
of lS98-l90O and which gave occasion
for the action against Venezuelan will
be paid Immediately, partly In cash
and party In short term drafts
Continuing the chancellor summar-
tied the terms Of the protocol, and con-
cluded with saying the blockade would
be Immediately raised, and that dlpo-
matte relations with Venezuelan would
be resumed
The chancellor also sent 90 the reich
stag a memQrandum on tuberculosis
treatment in which he recited facts
gathered by the imperial health office
out Of a thousand deaths in Germany
OF persons between the ages of 10 TO &c.
olp ulcu VI lupeICulOSlS atone. Ref-
sons under l6 and over GO are seldom
affected, The mortality OF the whole
population averaged 242 per lOO.OO
yearly, rising in the Bavaria palatinate
TO 1923, In Bremen 337, and in Hesse to
Sl4. The conditions In Germany are
shown TO be better than in France, Aus
tria and Russia, but worse than In
Switzerland Belgium, Denmark, Nor
way and especially England
The chancellor said the health off,
GERS found that consumption can best
be treated In special hospitals, In which
Germany now has accommodation for
$4,000 patients.
The statistics for 1896 to 1901 showed
that on the average out Of a hundred
cases treated S17 were dismissed as
cured or improved; SSas no better 81

GERMANY SATISFIED.
Came Out of Venezuelan AFFAIR Meas.
urably Well.

Berlin, Feb. 1.-THE newspapers
generally have little to say about the
Venezuelan settlement. Those which
reflect the governments views affirm
that Germany comes out Of the AFFAIR
moasurably well, insomuch as she OBJ
tains AT the end Of the negotiations all
she asked for at the beginning. The
papers which are important of official
influence. notably the Pan-German ex-
ponents and certain papers Of reaction
airy tendencies, say that the only pow
er which has come out Of the affair
with heightened prestige is the United
States, that none Of the European pow
ers has strengthened its position, and
that the two great powers have been
standing in the eyes Of the world for
two months in a deferential attitude
toward the United States, practically
asking permission TO coerce an impo-
tent state

Our VinOl is Making a Won
derful Record in Curing
This Dangerous
Disease.
CALL AND LET US TELL YOU
ABOUT IT.

Here is a letter that has just come to
our attention. 1t win interest people
suffering from bronchial troubles. II
Is from Mr. Geo. w. Brown, of SO. Ham
over, N. H., and reads as follows:
"Ihave suffered with bronchial trou-
bles for over year; tried two doctors
and have taken three or four kinds Of
medicine, none OF which did me any
good, At times | was so hoarse
could not speak, Then heard OF
Vinol. After taking three bottles of
it my voice has perfectly returned to
me. | can see that IN short time /
will be all right. When began TO
take IL was very weak, but it has
built me up and given me good appe-
tite."
This Is what Vinol always does.
This is the way Yinol accomplishes its
mission Of doing good.
Vinol, aswe wish every one to know,
owes Its power Of accomplishing the
cures that it effects TO the fact that IL
contains the most wonderful medicinal
elements known 10 science for the cure
OF all wasting diseases, as well as be-
ing In itself u marvellous tonic. These
medicinal Observation-Disclosures here's
tofore been found only in cod-liyer oil.
Ninol contains these elements. For by
a scientific process the necessary cura-
tive properties of the codliver oil have
been separated from the fat and grease
which formerly made eod-liyer oil prep
arations so Objectionable.
As long as Vinol does not contain any
Of the yile-smelling oil, aud is pre-
pared by combining the sought-after
properties with a delicate table wine,
it is a most delicious and palatable
preparation.
We know Of what We speak when
we recommend VinOl, and because
We do know that VinOl does all we
claim for 1t, we unheSItatingly en-
dOrse 1t, and guarantee at any time
to refund the money paid for the
remedy If you are not satisfied il
will do all we claim for ii.
