SAILORS FINGER BITTEN

Washington, March 3d. A cur
Gus story illustrating the number and
ferocity of the sharks that infest the
harbor of Manila is afforded by an
incident reported in the mail just re-
ceived at the insular bureau from the
Philippines. This is to the effect
that as one of the boats belonging to
the little gunboat El Cano was being
rowed out to the ship February 9
the plug in the bottom of the boat
came out and to prevent it from be-
ing swampod ]. ]. Dunlap, a sailor,
belonging to the FL Cano, thrust his
finger into the hole. The finger
was Immediately bitten off as if it
we're amputated by surgeon,
though the amputation in this case
was by shark. AS the lost finger
was used to pull the trigger OF the
rifle, the sailor will have to be re-
tired, being incompetent to perform
his duty.

from the lungs, a terrible sensation Of
long, slow suffocation, caused by
uric acid irritation of the tiny pockets
in which the blood takes oxygen from
the air you breathe.
There are millions of little air
pockets in your lungs. When you
take a breath, the air enters them
through tiny openings which close
light while the blood gives off car
bonic acid gas, and takes up oxygen.
You then relax the muscles and
let the exhausted air out. But if it
happens that your blood contains an
excess of uric acid, a spasm Of the
muscular walls OF these little air pock-
cts occurs, and the air cannot be
expelled. Nothing can be more dis
tressing than an attack of asthma.
Temporary relief is sometimes Civ

is impossible to cure except by remov-
ing the cause.-The uric acid. LIFE
PLANT has the power Of dissolving
uric acid crystals. LIFE PLANT
passes right into the blood and gent

blast every hope he ever dared to
raise.
Sees Need of Ordinance.
"The ordinance is a great need at
Fort Dodge. Every one knows it is
true there are more bachelors and
spinsters here than in any other town
of its size in the West A lot of
them are rich and nave no on depend
ent on them. They should marry by
all that is right, but unless compelled
to by an ordinance sucn as this they
never will"
Judge Busby, another member of
the committee, said:
Eyes we have agreed to an UNI
favorable report These women are
relentless, and to report that measure
for passage would mean to destroy
forever mans hopes of earthly
peace, and, If we are to believe the
spinsters, place in jeopardy his fate
hereafter"
The leaders OF the opposition for
the start has been Miss Jessie Cam
eron, matron of Castlewood private
school for children. She organized
the entire unmarried population of
her sex in the town and aroused them
to action. She has been untiring
in ner efforts to defeat the bill and
has headed committees, called mass
meetings and led organized efforts Of
every kind.
A delegation of spinsters waited
upon Mayor Bennett and remonstrat-
ed against the passage of such a
measure. The mayor defendd the
plan and offered to find each one of
the party a husband and marry them
all free of charge. The offer was not
