II WANT to tell you how l saved
one of our horses that had a fistula.
We had the horse doctor out and he
said it was 50 bad that he did not
think he could cure it, and did not
come again. Then we tried Sloan's
Liniment and it cured it up nicely.
lone day last spring I was blowing
for a neighbor who had a horse with
sweeny, and l told him about Sloan's
Iiniment and he had me get a bottle
for him, and 1t cured his horse all
right, and he goes off now like a colt.
I'VE had a horse that had sweeny
awfully bad and we thought it was
never going to be any good, but We
used SIoan's Liniment and it cured it
up nicely. l told another neighbOr
about it and he said it was the best
LiDiment he ever used.
we are using Sloan's Sure Collie
Cure and we think 1t is all right"

The finding OF but little water in
Mrs. Shaws lungs and the absence of
water in the stomach, as revealed in

No warrant was issued for Mrs

EASTWARD RUSH CONTINUES
Half Million Laborers Returned to Eu.
rope Since October.


New York, May 25.--Immigrction
authorities say that the homeward
tide of foreigners is again on the in.
crease. European steamers in the
past four days have carried away not
less than 10,400 aliens as steerage
passengers. The weeks total is ex
pected to reach upward of 1900.
Directly after the financial furry in
October there was a heavy rush
among the foreigners to leave the
country. During November and early
December European vessels left with
steerage compartments crowded to
overfiowing and leaving behind hun.
dreds for whom there was no room.
For full month the outrush reached
a total of $4,000 and $4,000 weekly
and then fell off somewhat, until in
January, February and March the
weekly averages were $4,000 and 49,
G00-even then being 800 and 400 per
cent greater than a year ago. With
April there was still another increase
and the May average has grown to
1900 weekly without any signs of
decreasing.
Statistics show that since October
between 475,000 and 100000 laborers
have departed and no let up is looked
for by the steamship companies for
some time to come. The shutting
down of factories, suspension of rail.
roads and public Improvement work
and the general cessation of business
activity that has thrown thousands
out of employment are held to be re-
sponsible for the movement eastward.

BY FALL OF BIG AlRSHIP.
Sixteen Men Injured, Several Probably
Fatally.

Oakland, Cal, May 25.-The great
Morrell airship, the largest ever con
structed, collapsed on its trial triI
when about 300feet above the ground
and dashed the sixteen occupants o
the car to the earth. None was killed
but all were seriously injured, suffer
ing broken legs and arms and prob
ably internal injuries. 1t is believed
several will die.
When the ascension was made
thousands of people gathered to wit
ness the trial. The giant ship, which
was 450 feet long and 36 feet in diam
eter, a combination Jf the aeroplane
and dirigible air craft, driven by SIX
gasoline engines generating 200 horse
power, rose successfully from the
ground and rose to height of prob
ably 800 feet. The car was occupied
by sixteen men who had become inter
ested in the invention and who agreed
TO make the trial trip before taking
stock in it. They were all residents
of Berkeley and Oakland.
Suddenly the large gas bag contain
ing 100000 cubic feet of illuminating
gas burst. The machine began to set
tie slowly as the gas escaped and II
appeared that 1t would settle to the
ground without injuring the occupants
of the car. When it had reached with
in seventy-five feet of the ground
however, the remaining gas was lei
out with a rush and the whole ma
chine, thousands of pounds In weight
dashed to the ground with terrific
force. The occupants of the car were
caught under the heavy machinery
and all seriously injured.
