BOTH PHYSICIANS
: MADE SAME MISTAKE

PIace-Hospital in Pueblo. Col
Case-Chrouic Bright's Disease OF fifteen years
development.
Prognosis-Recovery impossible and patient IA
Mr. Gadenl was so advised. and that he could
remain go home.
On arrival at Center Col. could not sit up
alone in bed local physician was called.
He too. said he could not recover and pre-
scrbed for his heart.
II did not look like the patient could live
week when a new agent added to the
treatment.
In ten days patient WAS sitting up: In twenty
could walk outdoors. He made slow but
steady recovery He now weighs 100 pounds.
These facts were given by his wife. Mrs.
Mary Gaden Of Center, Cob. whe will confirm
them
Both physicians were mistaken as to the posi-
bilities and the same mistake is occurring
everywhere in the hospitals of this city,
And these mistakes costing human lives.
The new agent employed as above was Fulton's
Renal Compound. Ii does not conflict with the
physicians prescriptions. but it does change
the prognosis from despair to hope.
Over nine out OF ten of the dead from kidney
trouble show Bright's Disease. This is a cen
sus fact that kidney troubled people ought to
know. -.----'

Col. Stones Commentator.

Col. Stone in 1885 wrote to the commit
tee on war claims of the House of Rep
resentatives a letter describing their
services in which he said:
They advanced the advance guard
in the first movement into Virginia when
Alexandria was captured. They cap
tured the first uniformed prisoners taken
from the enemy, and when the capital
of the country had been rendered fully
seizure by the arrival Of masses of
troops from New York, Pennsylvania
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Yer
mont Connecticut and Rhode Island.
they followed me up the line Of the
Potomac to Harpers Ferry to keep
watch and ward over the capital at a
good distance from it. Later they fol-
lowed me to the strengthening of Gen
Patterson's force, and although the term
OF service for which some of them had
engaged expired while they were in the
field and in face of the enemy, they re-
manned without any question as to the
time, although / did not insult them by
so much as asking them If they were
willing to so stay.
Il have commanded many troops in
my time, but none more willing and
anxious to do their whole duty as SOL
diers than We're the majority of the Dis
trict of Columbia Volunteers of April
July, 1861. l know that they deserve
we'll of this country. I firmly believe
that they saved the nation from the
disgrace and calamity of an abandon
ment of the capital by the constituted
authorities Of the time"

TERMINATION
Of PRACTICAL Joke
Officer Who Defied Ghosts
Frightened to Death by
FeI|oW-Officers.

VIENNA, April 1O.-From Jassy, in
Roumania, comes ghost story with so
tragic an ending that it is reminiscent of
some of w. w. Jacobs weirdest tales.
Several officers were gathered together
the other evening when an infantry cap
tain declared that he had met a genuine
ghost at a friends castle. Lieut.. YES
sinac ridiculed the suggestion. remarking
that it was all nonsense about ghosts.
Il would simply wiring the neck of any
ghost that should happen to approach
me-" he said boldly.
Test of His Courage.
To test the lieutenant's courage the
other young officers determined to visit
this bedroom in ghostly array. Conf1ding
their plan to the lieutenant's old servant,
they persuaded him to remove the bullets
from the loaded revolver which Vessinac
always kept in a drawer near his bed and
insert blank cartridges in their place.
The clandestine appointment was kept
and the young officers gained admittance
to the house while Lieut.. Vessinac slept
room. but slight sound sufficed to awak-
en- the lieutenant, who started when he
noticed the six ghostly apparitions.
Thinking them his comrades. he said.
You won't frighten me- Now get
home!''
Then he turned his back to them.
Looking around later and finding six
weird arms shaking menacingly at him,
he shouted
Results in Death.
Now. boys. can stand joke. but this
has gone far enough Leave the room
within ten seconds or 1 will use my re-
volver.''
As the ghosts did not move, Lieut.. Yes
sinac, apparently terrified. grasped his
revolver and after another warning, fired
six shots in rapid succession at his visI-
tants. But the ghosts remained i'm
mobile.
This proved too much for the young
lieutenant. Shrieking, he collapsed on
his pillow and died instantly OF apoplexy
Of the heart. His brother officers will be
court-n.artialed.

through that state and rumors of slave
Instruction stirred the public mind.
Situation in Washington.
In Washington there was naturally
great anxiety. Intercourse with Virginia
had been shut off and steamboats, report
ed as having passengers and stores for
southern points were seized. Company
A of the Light Infantry, Capt. Towers.
on the 18th of April took charge of the
Acquia creek boats-Mount Vernon. Bal
timOre, Philadelphia and Powhattan-
which were subsequently delivered to the
navy yard. Orders were received from
the Navy Department by Commander
Buchanan to fit out and arm the Mount
Vernon for service. and he at once re-
signed his commission. He was shortly
afterward heard Of as high officer in
the Confederate navy.
The Mount Vernon was, in consequence
of the scarcity of commissioned officers
at the yard, placed under the command
of a boatswain, George Wilmuth, who
22d she started down the Potomac on
reconnaissance, returning the 18th. There
were few Seamen, marines and men,
bers of the Infantry aboard the boat
Among the latter were S. V. Stillings
and E. w. Woodruff, who acted as as
sistant engineers. The first named by
reason of this service, became the first
volunteer engineer in the navy, serving
until after the close of the war. The
steamer discovered the lightship at Lower
Cedar point the morning of the sd to
be on fire. and they distinguished boat
with twenty men leaving her. A shell
from the thirty-two-pounder and ten
rounds of musket were fired at the boat,
but it escaped and the men landed on
the Virginia shore. This is believed to
be the first cannon shot fired on the Po-
tomac during the war. The other boats
of the line were taken into the services of
the navy.
On the 10Th of April the 9Th Massa-
chusetts and part Of Philadelphia regi-
ment en- route to this city were attacked

Frontier Guards and the Cassius NJ. Clay
Guards, composed of a number of men,
