WEEDS

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds its
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too. but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured ataonce, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

KILLED HERSELF
 IN EDITORS ROOM
RoUMANiAN SINGER, ELIZA PAP, ESCO, FOUND DEAD IN MANS ROOM IN PARIS HoTEL-AN. OTHER ELLEN GORE CASE.

Paris, October 12.-The mysterious shooting of the Roumanian singer, Eliza Papesco, at the hotel Regina here, where Americans stop, and In the center of a fashionable quarter of Paris, resembles in its essential features the case of Mrs Ellen Gore. the American woman who was killed in the apartments of Jean De Rydzewski, the Russian singer, in No- vember last. As cabled to the Associa- ted Press Saturday, Frederick Grietgling, editor of an art paper, reported to the hotel clerk that day that young wom- an had killed herself in his room and an investigation showed that the dead wom- an was Eliza Papesco.
 When the body was examined by a phy- sician today a bullet wound was discov- cred in the base of her skull, and an- other wound was found in her temple. The latter caused the woman's death.
 The physician declared it was impossi- ble for the woman to have inflicted the wound at the base of her skull. Griet- gling is held on the charge of mur- der.

BROWN AND BLUE
 FIGHT HARD BATTLE
PROBLEM WAS FOR THE INvAp. ING BROWN ARMY TO MAKE PASSAGE OF A LONG AND TOR TuoUs DEFILE.

Camp Young, West Point, Ky. October l2.-Todays maneuvers, participated in solely by regulars, was an interesting one, the problem being one devised to fit a peculiar local condition. The plans of Col Wagner, chief umpire, called for the passage of long and tortuous defile by force acting as the advance guard of the invading brown army the attempt to be resisted by the rear guard of the re- treating blue army. The main bodies which these forces represented were im- aginary. The blue rear guard was acting under orders to impede and harrass the brown advance as much as possible with out bringing on serious engagement and being cut off from the main com mand.
 The blue rear guard consisting of a regiment of infantry, squadron of cavalry and four field pieces, during the course of the engagement, succeeded in delaying the advance of the brown force to such an extent that it was about two hours before the last of the brown ad- vance got clear of the defile. This would hardly have been a sufficient impediment in actual warfare. The brown force con- ssting of two battalions of infantry, a regiment of cavalry and four field pieces made rather quick word of it. The brown artillery was very well managed and by quick work succeeded in taking a po- sition commanding the blue forces on the plain below, where the defile opens.
 The guns were put into action before the blue artillery could answer from rather poor position, but despite this fact the duel between the field pieces lasted for nearly an hour. In actual warfare, the brown artillery by reason of it's position. should have been able to prevent the blue guns from taking position and open ing fire. but this point was in some way overlooked and blue guns allowed to re- main in action.
 The losses on each side were compar atively light as adjudged by the umpIres.
 Gen. Joseph Wheeler arrived at camp today, to be the guest of General Bates until the latter leaves for Fort Riley which probably will be on Wednesday.
 Major Buck commanded the blue forces in today's action, and Major Geddy the brown.

CATHOLICS MUST
 HELP UNIVERSITY
CARDINAL GIBBONS GIVES OUT TRANSLATION OF THE REGENT BRIEF OF THE POPE APPROVING SCHEME FOR RAISING FUNDS.

Baltimore, October 12.-Cardnal Gib- bons tonight gave out the following trans lation of the brief of Pope Plus x rela- tive to the Catholic university in Wash ington, which was brought by his emin- ence when he returned from his attend ance on the conclave:
 ITO our Beloved Son. James, Car dinal Gibbons, cardinal priest of the Holy Roman church, with the title of Santa Maria in Trastevere, Archbishop of Bal timore and chancellor of the Catholic uni- verysity at Washington.
 Beloved son: Health ana apostolic benediction
 "The condition of the university at Washington has enlisted our deepest sym pathy and concern, inasmuch the re- port recently submitted by your eminence deposes that it's affairs are not alto- gether so encouraging as we could wish. It is meant that we should follow the example of our predecessor in the fur therance of noble projects, more especial ly such as are of great moment and hold out the promise of large advantage. In this spirit we are pleased to continue, and as far as may be, to increase in the eAcIclSe Ol lut dpDSlOllc OulCt lht llltl- est which we have ever cherished toward this distinguished American foundation.
 Therefore we learn with genuine sat isfaction that the bishops charged with the work and all others interested in it's welfare, have arranged that collection be taken up in all the churches through out the United States annually for ten years on the first Sunday of Advent, or the first convenient Sunday thereafter, with q view of enhancing the dignity and enlarging the influence of this noble seat of learning.
 This plan, the result of their joint de- Alterations. we consider most beneficial. It is therefore our earnest wish and prayer that all the bishops of the coun- try, as well as the faithful who have heard the progress of learning and re- ligion, should work strenuously for the university.
 That God may be pleased graciously to help this undertaking by His grace, we lovingly impart to you and to the faithful committed to your care, the apostolic benediction.
 'Given in Rome, at St Peter's. on the ninth day of September, 1903, the first year of our pontifcate

 Committee.
BY PATTERSON sTEALEY.

Washington, October 12.-(Special.)- Danville, H., the home of the prospective speaker of the next house, seems to in- dicate that the ways and means com mittee is now the principal matter be- fore the appointing power It is said to be likely that this committee will be the only one appointed during the extra ses- sion, the plan being to appoint this com- mittee in order that 1t may report the Cuban treaty resolution, and then sup press all other legislative matters in the lower branch of congress.
 As it was organized in the last con- gross the ways and means committee pos- sesses three republican vacancies-Hop- kins of Illinois, and Long of Kansas, hav- ing been sent to the senate, and Steele of Indiana, retired to private life. On the democratic side there is one vacancy, Newlands of Nevada having been elected to the senate. In addition to this McClel- land of New York will probably be leect- ed mayor of Greater New York which would make another vacancy. Represent tative Richardson of Tennessee, will, it is reported, serve out his present term in congress. He is now member of the committed though it is said to be doubt full whether he will care to serve on the committee. Of the two probable demo- cratic vacancies Williams of Mississippi, who will be elected leader of the min ority, will receive one of them.

 There was always a strong doubt as to what action the Governor would take, and this was none the less cleared up when he left his office Saturday.

Tariff Revision Finds No Favor.

The old republican pretense that the tariff is to be modified by the republi- can party some time in the future, pos sibly at the session of congress follow ing the presidential election, seems to find no favor in the eyes of republican statesmen who visit the White House these days Many who are in position to judge state that the next republican platform will in a sense carry out the Iowa idea of revision when necessary, !" but the sentiment in republican ranks, especially the sentiment of representa- tives from states east of the Mississippi river, is decidedly against revision at any time under present conditions The Pres ident's callers this morning included Rep resentatives Dalzell and Olmstead of Pennsylvania and Grosvenor of Ohio. They are all stand patters and de- clare themselves against any modifica- tions.
