SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP.
Cured by One Bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy.

when I had an attack of the grip last
winter (the second one) actually cured my
self with one bottle of Chamberlains Cough
Remedy" says Frank w. Perry, editor of
the Enterprise, shortsville. N. Y; This is
the honest truth. at times kept from
coughing myself to pieces by taking tea
spoonful of this remedy, and when the
coughing spell would come on at night I
would take dose and 1t seemed that in the
briefest interval the cough would pass of
and would go to sleep perfectly free from
cough and its accompanying pains. To say
that the remedy acted as most agreeable
surprise is putting 1t very mildly. had
no idea that it would or could knock out the
grip, simply because I had never tried it
for such q purpose. but 1t did. and 1t seemed
with the second attack Of coughing the
remedy caused it to not only be of less du-
ration, but the pains were far less severe,
and had not used the contents OF one bot
tie before Mr.. Grip had bid me adieu.''

IMPORTANT POINTS IN new
LAND BILL ARE BROUGHT OUT
Full Text of British Governments
Measure Made Public.-Repatria-
ton Of Evicted Tenants.

London, March 27.-The text Of the Irish
land purchase BILL which was introduced In
the House of Commons by the Irish Secre-
tary, Mr.. Wyndham, on Wednesday last.
was given out to-day.
1t occupies thirty-nine pages of par
liamentary paper and bristles with techni-
calities.
The full wording reveals many important
features. which were not mentioned in Mr..
Wyndhams speech when the bill was intro
duced.
All arrears of rent due at the time of the
purchase of land are recoverable by the
Land Commission and not the arrears LOT a
year only, as previously cabled. The Land
Commissioners, however, have power IN
special cases to remit part or all Of the ar
rears.
The commissioners are not permitted to
purchase estates which are not mainly aS-
ricultural or pastoral. Thus Killarney is
exempt under this clause. In cases OF I'M
tenanted estates purchased by the commis-
sioners they are empowered to execute the
necessary works of Improvement when
tremendously enlarses the scope OF the CON- !.
empowered to declare subtenants to be ten
ants of any holding occupied by tnen'
which will vastly benefit hundreds:
Fishing, shooting and mineral a,s ~
will be vested In the commissioners when
an estate is purchased and can be disposed
of as the commissioners decide.
The commissioners are also empoWe,ee
to determine boundary and other disputes
between the proprietors Of holdings under
the bill. ,,,- ., NM
chase bankrupt estates, and can resen tn e,
to tenants or use portions of them for the
repatriation of evicted tenants. The lat
ter point is regarded as being one OF the
most vital features Of the bill.

ADDITIONAL INDICTMENTS
AGAINST DOCTOR FLOWER
Various Persons Claim That They
Have Been Defrauded-Bat1 i'm
First Case Reduced.

New York, March 27.-Four additional in
dictments, charging Doctor Richard G..
Flower with larceny. were returned by the
Grand Jury to-day.
An indictment superseding the ore already
found against Doctor Flower on the COM
plant of Mrs. Belle Gray Taylor was also
handed down.
The four additional indictments were
found on the complaints OF Herman II. But
rick. who alleges that Doctor Flower de-
frauded him of $3.50; A. Solmans. president
of the South Norwalk, Conn.,, National
Bank who claims that he was defrauded
of $1.5oo: S. W. Wooley, who places his loss
at $500, and II. b. Woodruff, who says ne
was defrauded of $40.
When the hearing OF the charge Of taking
$500 from Mrs. Taylor was resumed, counsel
for Doctor Flower again objected to the
bail of SO, 900. in which Doctor Flower was
held. Assistant District Attorney Caravan
replied that the Arizona-Eastern Montana
Company had urged many people to invest
in the mines: that there were charges in
volying more than 81 100000. and that Doc
tor Flower was very wealthy.
Mr. Garyan added that he had received
r letter from the DEFENDANTS attorney Of
fering to pay Mrs. Taylor her claim II she
would stop the criminal prosecution. Coun-
sci for Doctor Flower defed that there was
such letter. Justice Greenbaum ordered
Doctor Flowers ball reduced to 5000.
