The Signor came to Canon City at the
solicitation of Prof. Chas. F. Miller
who has known hum for many years.
From an artistic standpoint Signor
Aquabella's recital was eminently
successful and is regarded as a great
treat by those who had the good for
tune to hear 1t, although the attend
ance was not rs generous as it should
have been. The Signor is by common
consent star Of the first magnitude in
the musical fir0anent and has been the
recipient Of unstinted praise from crit.
les in all OF the principal cities Of the
United States. II he should come this
way again we have no doubt he would
receive q cordial welcome from the de-
votees of music.

great many grotesque costumes and
half score of counterfeit Weary
Willies" gave > picturesqueness to the
scene that was most humorous and
amusing. P. g. Whealan was awarded
the first prize-a string of weiner-
wursts-for his portrayal of Happy
Hooligan," which was a superb repre-
sentation of one Of the most famous
characters Of the comic press. The
refreshments consisted of coffee, bacon
and beans, cornbread, gingerbread and
spice cake. As may be inferred every.
body had a good time.

JOHN PAUL JONES
THE NAVAL HERO

The methods of fighting used by Cap
tain John Paul Jones, the famous
American naval officer, whose body is
to be conveyed from France In Admi-
raj Sigsbee's squadron for burial at
Washington. are vividly portrayed in
the Narrative of John Kilby, Quarter
Gunner of the United States Ship Bon
homme Richard, Under Paul Jones',
published in the July 5cribner's.
How the challenge of the British ship
Scraps was accepted by Paul Jones "
thus described:
The Bonhomme Richard was still
bearing down on the large ship, which
was then protecting a large deet Of
merchant ships. In order to protect
that valuable convoy, as 1t was his
duty. he (the enemy hove to. hauled up
his canvas and prepared for action.
Side lanthorns, of course, were up
throughout the enemy's ship, and sv-
cry man at quarters was plain to be
seen. We were then but very small
distance from them, and you may be
sure that our ship was as well prepared
for action as 1t was In the power OF
man to have a ship. While we were
still bearing down upon the enemy she
hailed us In these words: 'Hoiei The
ship a-holep
Our captain, with a large trumpet
In his hands, made no answer. The en-

latter in grocery department. As may
be inferred they are greatly interested
in the yellow fever situation in New
Orleans and vicinity, the visitation of
which is always paralyzing to the busi-

press the opinion that the worst of the
present scourge is over.
Through inadvertance THE RECORD
has thus far omitted to mention the
piano recital given at the opera house
couple of weeks ago by Signor Ramon
Aquabella, which was conceded by
all who heard it to have been one Of
the most mastery performances Of the
kind heard here in a long time. Signor
Aquabella is an artist of exceptional
talent and his playing won merited ad-
miration and applause from the audi
ence, which included many of the best
musicians in the city. Although the
program was classical one it found a
popular response if the plaudits which
greeted its rendition may be taken as
an index of the general appreciation.

CHICAGO, May 23.-Announcemen,
was made this evening by Sheriff Bar.
rett that all negotiations for a settle
ment of the Transfers strike were at
an end. He said that a call for state
troops was in the hands of Governor
Deneen. and that a Geographic mes
sage making the call operative would
be sent upon the first outbreak of vic.
lence.
The possibilities for increased riot.
ing are vastly enlarged by the spread
of the strike to the lumber district.
The territory which generally goes
under this designation extends along
the river, from east to west, about
three miles. and for a mile to the
north and south of the stream.
1t is a district noted for the fierce
mobs which have marched through it
during former strikes and is the place
which invariably caused more trouble
than any other part of the city. The
city officials and Sheriff Barrett are
hopeless OF being able to maintain or.
der in the lumber district, and at the
same time to protect wagons in the
downtown streets as they have been
doing thus far during the strike. 1t
would require q force Of at least 1000
men to effectively patrol the lumber
district alone, and this number the
city and county have not to spare. 1t
has, therefore. been determined that
at the first outbreak of rioting a call
will be made on Governor Deneen for
military assistance.
The troops which will be first or.
dered out if the necessity arises com.
pose the First brigade of the Illinois
National guard, commanded by Brig.
adler General Moulton. 1t comprises
the First. Second, Seventh and Eighth
regiments of infantry, the last being a
colored regiment, and the First regi.
ment of cavalry. In all, about 1000
men will be called out. Every pre-.
paration has been made for a prompt
response by the national guard, and
a large consignment of riot cartridges
has been received. These differ from
the ordinary rifle bullet in that they
contain three buckshot in place of the
single steel bullet.

Most forms Of sickness start with the
inside nerves. Indigestion, sour stomach
heartburn, dyspepsia-weak kidneys, dia-
betes, Bright's disease-Liver irregulari-
ties-Heart observation-disclosures irregu-
Iarities-aH of these ailments, and the all
ments which they. in turn. bring on. are
due directly to arrangements of certain
nerve centers.
Understand first hat we have two en-
tirely separate nerve systems. When we
walk. or talk. or act. we call into play a
certain set Of erves-nerve which obey
our mental commands. That is why the
arm can be raised, or the mouth opened,
or the eye shut. at the slightest desire.
That is why your fingers can delicately
pick up a pin one moment and hold a
heavy hammer. the next.
But these are not the nerves we are to
consider here.
There is another set of nerves which
control and govern and actuate the heart
and the stomach, the kidneys and the
liver and all Of the vital functions. You
can not control these nerves. BY no SUI
preme effort Of mind can you make your
heart stop or start-nor can you even
make 1t vary by a single beat a minute.
And SO with the stomch and the liver and
the kidneys and the bowels-they are au-
tomatic-they do their work at a certain
set speed whether you are awake or
asleep-whether you will it or not.
1t is on these inside nerves that life and
health depends. So long as these nerves
perform their proper duties we are well
and strong. When thew faf We know II
by the Inevitable symptoms-stomach
heart, liver, kidney troubles. And these
troubles have no other origin. ever, than
in these same nerves. For the stomach,
the heart, the liver, the kidneys. have no
power of their own, no self control. They
owe their every impulse to the inside ner-
YES. The nerves are the masters. The
organs their slaves.
But the most interesting part about the
inside nerves is the bond of sympathy
which exists between all centers and
n center which, for instance, con-
trolls the stomach is known to science as
the solar plexus-' The heart center is
called the cardiac plexus." The kidney
center, the renal ~plexus." Yet it is a
well known fact that in prize fights a So
lar plexuS blow instantly stops the heart,
although its usual operations concern only
the stomach. Why? Because of the bond
OF sympathy between the various
branches That is the reason the inside
nerves are sometimes called the mi
fhetic" nerves.
This explains why stomach trouble of
ten develops into heart trouble-why in
digestion brings on nervousness-why
diseases become complicated. It explains,
WrOng-Why medicine so frequently fails.
For ordinary remedies are designed to
treat the organ, not the nerve. When I
first studied medicine, the whole founda-
ton OF what I was taught was:
For nervousness. give bromides.
For weak kidneys, give diuretics.
bismuth.
For a weak heart. give stimulants.
To deaden pain, give a narcotic. 4
