Lakewood. N. J.. April 2s.-The
condition Of former President Grover
Cleveland, about whom alarming re-
ports were circulated here today. was
said by Mrs. Cleveland. to be improved

fering from rheumatic gout and stom-

reduced in weight considerably in con-

nurse he came to Lakewood about
March 16, and since that time has oc-
cupied suit OF rooms at Lakewood
Hotel. where II was said he was re-
gaining his health and strength. Since
his arrival he celebrated his list birth
day anniversary.
Mrs. Cleveland, in response to an
Inquiry. sent out the following mes
sage:

RUGER'S PHANTOM MILLIONS.
Boer Presidents $4,000, Which is
Still I'm Bank at Pretoria.

London, April 23.-Every one re-
members the outcry there was at the
time OF the capture of Pretoria
about Presidents Krugers millions. He
was represented to have run away
with anything from fifteen to seventy
1ve millions. The majority OF
Englishmen probably believe to this
day that he did so.
1t now appears that President Kr,l-
ger, when he died, left a sum of$310.-
600 and that Gen. Botha wrote to
Lord Miner, asking him what should
be done with it. Lord Miner never re-
piled. and the money has since lain in
the bank at Pretoria.
Lord Miner now says he cannot
recall having received the letter. He
had SO many important things to dc.
he imagines that he might have over
looked it. That was remarkable, Lord
| Miner made play himself with the
Kruger millions" story, and surely
the solution Of the mystery nigh:
have been expected to attract anis at
tention.
| True, the facts would have been
rather awkward for Lord Miner and
his friends, for when you accuse O
man OF running away with a number
! Of millions for his own private use
and when it turns out that he had
only $4,000 which, he did not apply
to- his private use at all, the discre-
pancy is hard to explain.

BRYAN A HAS-BEEN'-JOHN
Governor Declares Ncbraskans Vogue
Is Waning.

Is waning.
Omaha, Neb., April 17.-"William
j. Bryan is 'has-been.' His star
reached it's zenith some time ago, and
when his name goes before the Den
yer convention he will be looking for
votes. The tide always has a limit 1t
continues to swell until that limit is
reached, and then it recedes. The tide
of the popularity Of Mr.. Bryan reced-
ed with the adjournment Of the State
his name and recommended him for
another nomination, and has been re-
ceding ever since.
This is the statement made by Gov
ernor Johnson, Of Minnesota, who is
opening his campaign for the Demo-
cratic nomination for president. The
governor passed through Omaha to-
day on his way to Kansas, where he
will address Swedish school and then
proceed to Lynchburg, Va, to take
an active part in his campaign. The
governors attention was called to an
editorial in the World-Herald, the
personal organ of Bryan, stating that
the Pennsylvania delegation wiuld be
instructed for Bryan.
THAT statement is entirely untrue"
said Johnson, land when the Pennsyl-
vania delegation reaches Denver there
will be some surprises for ,theh Neb-
raskan. The Democrats of the country
have apparently been loyal to Mr..
Bryan because there was apparently
no other candidate in the field until
recently. Now that there appears to
be a real contest, it is aAother prop
| osition. There is little doubt in my
mind that the Pennsylvania delegation
will vote with New York-and that is
very fine start, don't you think so,
"Mr. Bryan was for several years
the Grand Old Man of the Democrat
ic party, and many consider him as
such yet, but how long this popularity
will continue is a matter of conjecture.
The signs Of the times indicate an
ominous and rocky future for him. ]
presume I ought to apologize for COM
ing into Nebraska and saying these
things, but to man up a tree they
tainly appear truthful"
The governor admitted that he was
starting out on his first campaign
journey, saying:
1T has been fashionable for q lone
time for prospective candidates to
spend a little money on railway fares
and hotel bills
He expects to remain in Lynchbure
at least week.

AN AGE OF PROGRESS.

Science

SCIENCE.
This is an age of progress in the
world of medicine as we'll as in arts
and science. This is demonstrated by
the remarkable discovery after years
Of research by two eminent French
chemists Of the process by which the
curative, medicinal elements of the
Gods Liver may be separated from
the oil. thus getting rid Of that nau-
seating part of this valuable remedy.
In Vinol modern science has given
to the world a most delicious cod liy-
er preparation without oil made by a
scientific, extractive and concentrating
process from fresh Gods livers, COM
bining with peptOnate- -of-iron all the
medicinal, healing, bodybuilding ele-
ments Of cod liver oil, but no oil.
AS a body builder and strength
creator for old people. delicate child
rem. weak. rundown persons, after
sickness, and for Chronic Coughs
colds, Bronchitis and all throat and
lung troubles, VinOl is unexcelled.

A male quartette Is probably Rthe

with view to effectiveness as we'll as
to the range of the voices.
Every where that the Parland-New-
hall company has sung, the audience
has been delighted.
Not only can the gentlemen COM
posing this quartette sing, but they
are experts in bell ringing. which
gives a very attractive variety to the
programme. Another feature that
gives variety. Is their work on brass
instrument. They play on a French
horn, Il trombone and two cOrnets.
This entertainment will take place

j. B. Sims MOrtally Wounded, Near
Lancaster, While Returning Home
After Nightfall.
Lancaster, April 23.-J. B. Sims, the
farmer shot from ambush last night
as he was returning home from town.
Is still living, but the attending physi-
clans entertain but little hope of his
recovery, as they believe that his in
testines were perforated by some of
the shot that struck and entered his
body
Sims. who lives about four miles
from town. spent yesterday here and
was within mile Of his home when
shot. He was walking along the road
with his coat over his left arm when
some unknown person concealed in
strip Of woods fired on him with a gun
loaded with duck shot, the shot strik-
ing him all the way from the face to
the hips on the left side. The coat
probably saved him from instant
death as the force of the load seems
to have struck that garment.
The assassin was not more than II
steps distant from his victim, as shown
by the tracks where he stood and the
point In the road where Sims fell.
Sims was placed in the buggy Of
passer-by. the Rev. E. o. Thompson.
and carried to the home Of Lafayette
Huntington, neighbor, where he now
Is.
Sims Is well known citizen Of the
county. Until recently he was United
States deputy marshal and at one time
was state dispensary constable. He
was tried at the last term of court for
killing Hampton Stogner. whom he
shot at within $50 yards Of the place
where he himself was shot last night.
At the trial referred to, it will be re-
called. the jury failed to agree and p
mistrial was ordered.
