HOPE REPUBLICAN. By Carter & Son. HOPE INDIANA The seaside butterfly is in the swim and the hammock girl is having her full swing. An Independent says that from present indications Harrison ) ) Wi11 be elected. Weaver j By the way. Harrison, Bid well and Weaver were born in Ohio, as also was Whitelaw Reid. That State seems to have some favorite sons. Europe appears to be an admirable place to keep away from this year. When there are received the reports of pestilence, the blowing up of pleasure steamers, the wrecking of ocean liners, frightful landslides at a popular summer resort, earthquakes and the burial as well as the cremation of a village by molten lava, the average American citizen is prone to indorse the sentiment that “there is no place like home.” John Philip Sousa has resigned his position as leader of the Marine Band at Washington, which has become famous under his direction. He has signed a contract for two years with a New York and Chicago syndicate to organize a military band with the best men that can be secured, which will make a tour of the country this fall. The Marine Band has been very poorly compensated, and Congress has been repeatedly asked to increase salaries. The band added to its income by making annual tours, but the National Musicians’ Union strongly opposed this. It has petitioned the President to forbid any more of these concerts, as they injure the business of local bands, and threatened him with the loss of thousands of votes if he refuse. Sousa will be sure of an audience wherever his new band goes. The champion negro slayer of Africa, Dr. Peters, is the first man who has thought it useful to issue a pamphlet on the best way of fighting the natives. As Dr. Peters has had larger and more unnecessary experience in this line than any other traveller, he is doubtless an expert well qualified to treat the subject. He has a poor opinion of the courage of native tribes, and says the whites have nothing to fear from them in the open, but that the tricky and treacherous character of the enemy renders it necessary to be constantly on the lookout against surprises in forest or jungle. Dr. Peters f fills nineteen pages telling what he knows about the way to kill African natives. Inasmuch as his sanguinary doings in Africa, it is said, are to be investigated by order of Emperor William, it is hoped he will not have any further opportunity, personally, to practice the teachings based upon his large and varied experience.— N. Y. Sun. The French government, says the N. Y. Sun, has given its official authorization to the project of holding a Universal Exposition in Paris in the year 1900. There will, therefore, be eight years of preparation for it, if the peace of Europe be maintained, if Germany, or Russia, or Austria, or Italy, or Spain, or England does not raise any rumpus in which France will be involved. In view of the relations between the various powers of Europe it can hardly be expected that they will keep quiet until the twentieth century of Christianity. The Germans have been made so angry within the past month by the suggestion of the Paris Exposition that they will surely find it hard to restrain their wrath against France for eight years, especially if the prospects of the Berlin Exposition of 1893 should be blighted under the shadow of the French project. Nevertheless, let us hope for the continuance of peace. We advise Germany to push the Berlin project without regard to the rivalry of Paris, and to get up, four years hence, an exposition not to be. surpassed by that which is to be held four years after it.

A DETROIT MIRACLE. A GREAT TRIUMPH FOR CANADIAN MEDICAL SCIENCE. Particulars of One of tlie Mont Remarkable Cures on Record Described by the Detroit News—A Story Worth a Careful Farsusal. [Detroit Nows.] The following paragraph, which appeared in the News a short time ago, furnished the basis of this information —a case that was so wonderfully remarkable that it demanded further explanation. It is of sufficient importance to the News’ readers to report it to them fully. It was so important then that it attracted considerable attention at the time. The following is the paragraph in question: “C. B. Northrop, for twenty-eight years one of the best known merchants on Woodward avenue, who was supposed to be dying last spring of locomotor ataxia, or creeping paralysis, has secured a new lease of life and returned to work at his store. The disease has always been supposed to be incurable, but Mr. Northrop’s condition is greatly improved, and It looks now as if the grave would be cheated of its prey. ” Since that time Mr. Northrop has steadily improved not only in looks but In condition, till he has regained his oldtime strength. It has been hinted to the writer of this article, who was acquainted with Mr. Northrop, that this miraculous change had been wrought by a very simple remedy called Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. When asked about ft, Mr. Northrop fully verified the statement, and not only so but he had taken pains to inform anyone who was suffering in a similar manner when he heard of any such case. Mr. Northrop was enthusiastic at the result in his own case of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. It was a remedy that he had heard of after he had triad everything he could hope to give bin relief. He had been in the care of ths best physicians, who did all they could to alleviate this terrible malady, but without any avail. He had given up hope, when a friend in Lockport, N. Y.,. wrote him of the case of a person' there who had boon cured In similar circumstances by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. The person cured at Lockport had obtained his information respecting Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills from an article published in the Hamilton, Ont., Times. The case was called “The Hamilton Miracle,” and told the story of a man in that city who, after almost incredible suffering, was pronounced by the most eminent physicians to be incurable and permanently disabled. He had spent hundred of dollars in all sorts of treatment and appliances only to be told in the end that there was no hope for him, and that cure was impossible. The person alluded to (Mr. John Marshall, of 25 Little William street, Hamilton, Out.,) was a member of the Royal Templars of Temperance, and after having been pronounced permanently disabled and incurable by the physicians, was paid the $1,000 disability insurance provided by the order for its members in such cases. For years Mr. Marshall had been utterly helpless, and was barely able to drag himself around his house with the aid of crutches. His agonies were almost unbearable and life was a burden to him, when at last relief came. Some months after he had been paid the disability claim he heard of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and was induced to try them. The result was miraculous; almost from the outset an improvement was noticed, and In a few months the man that medical experts had said was incurable, was going about the city healthier and stronger than before. Mr. Marshall was so well known in Hamilton that all the city newspapers wrote up his wonderful recovery in detail, and it was thus, as before stated, that Mr. Northrop came into possession of the information that led to his equally marvelous recovery. One could scarcely conceive a case more hopeless than that of Mr. Northrop. His injury came about In this way; One day, nearly four years ago, he stumbled and fell the complete length of a steep flight of stairs which wore at the rear of his store. His head and spine were severely injured. He was picked up and taken to lus home. Creeping paralysis very soon developed itself, and in spite of the most strenuous efforts of friends and physicians the terrible affliction fastened itself upon him. For nearly two years ho was perfectly helpless. He could do nothing to support his strength in tne least effort. He had t > bo wheeled about in an invalid’s chair. He was weak, pale, and fast sinking when this timely information came that veritably snatched his life from the jaws of death. Those, who at that time saw a feeble old man wheeled Into his store on an invalid’s chair, would not recognize the man now, so great is the change that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills have wrought. When Mr. Northrop learned of the remedy that had cured Mr. Marshall in Hamilton, and the person in Lockport, he procured a supply of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills through Messrs. Bassett & L’Hommedieu, 95 Woodward avenue, and from the outset found Improvement. He faithfully adhered to the use of the remedy until now he is completely restored. Mr. Northrop declares that there can be no doubt as to Pink Pills being the cause of his restoration to health, as all other remedies and medical treatment left him in a condition rapidly going from lad to worse, until at last it was declared there

was np hope for him and he was pronounced Incurable. He was in this terrible condition when he began to use Dr. 'Williams’ Pink Pills, and they have restored him to health. Mr. Northrop was asked what was claimed for this wonderful remedy, and replied that he understood the proprietors claim it to be a blood builder and nerve restorer; supplying in a condensed form all the 1 elements necessary fo enrich the blood, restore shattered nerves and drive out disease. It is claimed by the proprietors that Pink Pills will cure paralysis, rheumatism, sciatica, palpitation of the heart, headache, and all diseases peculiar to females, loss of appetite, dizziness, sleeplessness, loss of memory, and all diseases arising from overwork, mental worry, loss of vital force, etc. “I want to say,” said Mr. Northrop, “that I don’t have much faith in patent medicines, but I cannot say too much in praise of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. The proprietors, however, claim that they are not a patent medicine in the sense in which that term is used, but a highly scientific preparation, the result of years of careful study and experiment on the part of the proprietor’s, and tho pills were successfully used in private practice for years before being placed for general sale." Mr. Northrop declares that he is a living example that there Is nothing to equal these pills as a cure for nerve diseases. On inquiry tho writer found that these pills were manufactured by • Dr. Williams Medicine Go., Schenectady, N. Y., and Brookville, Ont., and the pills are sold in boxes (never in bulk by the hundred}, at 50 cents a box, and may bo had of all druggists or direct by mail from Dr. Williams Medicine Co., from either above addresses. The price at which these pills are sold makes a course of treatment with them comparatively inoxj pensive as compared with other romj edies or medical treatment. This case ! is one of the most remarkable on record, | and as it is one right hero In Detroit i and not a thousand miles away, It can I be easily verified. Mr. Northrop In ( very well known to the people of Detroit, and he says he is only too glad to testify of the marvelous good wrought in his case. Ho says ho considers it his duty to help all who are similarly afflicted by any word ho can say In behalf of tho wonderful efficacy of Dr. Will- [ iams’ Pink Pills. Proving His Identity. Nathaniel Hawthorne was a kindhearted man as well as a groat novelist. While ho was consul at Liverpool a young Yankee walked Into his office. The boy had loft homo to seek his forttune, but evidently hadn’t found It yet, although he had crossed the sea in his search. Homesick, friendless, nearly penniless, he wanted a passage home. The clerk said Mr. Hawthorne could not be seen, and intimated that the boy was no American, but was trying to steal a passage. The boy stuck to his point, and the clerk at last went to the little room and said to Mr. Hawthorne: "Here’s a boy Insists upon seeing you. He says he’s an American, but I know he Isn’t.” Hawthorne came out of the room and looked keenly at the eager, ruddy face of the boy, “You want a passage to America?” “Yes, sir." “And you say you’re an American?" “Yes, sir.” “From what part of America?" “United States, sir.” “What State?" “New Hampshire, sir.” “Town?" “Exeter, sir.” Hawthorne looked at him a minute before asking the next question. “Who sold the best apples in your town?" “Skim-milk Folsom, sir,” said tho boy with glistening eyes, as the old familiar byword brought up the dear old scenes of home. “It’s all right,” said Hawthorne to the clerk, “give him a passage." Law Against Hypnotism. Belgium is the first country to make hypnotizing an offense against the law of the land. The law recently approved by the Parliament in Brussels is as follows: 1. Whoever exhibits an individual hypnotized by him or by another shall be punished by imprisonment for from two weeks to six months, and by a fine of $5 to $200. 2. Any person, not a physician, having hypnotized an individual under 21 years, or one not in full possession of his mental powers, shall be punished by a fine of $5 to $200, even when the hypnotized individual has not been exhibited publicly. 3. With imprisonment shall be punished, moreover, every person who, with the intention of cheating, or otherwise injuring, causes a hypnotized individual to sign a paper containing a contract, disposition, obligation, release, or declaration or intention. The same punishment shall be inflicted, also, upon the person deriving benefit from such a paper. . The Sea-Horse. Only three or four inches in length, the sea-horse is more dignified than many large fishes, and, in addition to the distinction conferred upon it by its graceful stateliness, possesses the unique power of looking two ways at once. It is a dainty, pretty creature, with head shaped much like a horse. In color it is pale gray, dotted with tiny, scarcely visible, spots of blue, and small silver spangles. The dorsal fins are bordered and fringed with gold, and the strong little prehensile tail, wound around some fixed object selected by the owner, supports him in an erect position in the most wonderful manner. A Favored Word. The most abused word these days is the word cyclone. Every one whoso belief is father to the description sees in the simplest storm all the characteristics that are usually applied to rotary disturbances. Most people who have had the experience feel insulted if they are told that it wasn’t a cyclone that struck them. They are endeared ' to the term and want to be undisturbed in their rhetoric.

THE DOG THAT SAVED A THRONE. The Uonte of Kalakana’s Mutinous Army by Gillig’s Bull Pup. San Francisco Examiner. Another resolution has been suppressed in Hawaii, and the supporters of the Queen are congratulating themselves on the strength of the Government. Other people recall the fact that the first Wilcox rebellion was suppressed by a baseball pitcher after the king had been driven to the royal boathouse for protection. A few who know are also telling the merry tale of how Harry Gillig’s bull pup put down a revolution, saved a throne and scattered the leaguering armies of the rebels —all in the opera-bouffe kingdom of the Colorado Maduras. This is the story George Nagle tells; “\Ve were at the islands a year or two ago—Harry Gillig, Frank Unger, myself and ‘Pierrot.’ Pierrot was Harry’s bull pup, tho joy of his owner’s life, the pride of his heart. He was a fierce, bloodthirsty-looking brute, and whenever a true sport would pass him the covetous regard which the man would show for the dog would make the cold chills of apprehension play leap frog in Gillig’a spinal marrow. As a matter of fact, though, Pierrot was as playful and quite as harmless as a kitten. He never bit anything in his life except the sweetbreads, chateau-bri-ants, and such delicacies with which his owner fed him. “Well, at the Islands, David Kalakaua was King, and a kindlier man never lived. He showed us marked attention, arranged feasts in our behalf, made me Governor of an island for a day, and lost his money to us at poker. He spent nearly as much time at our cottage as he did at the palace, which was close at hand. We grew to have a genuine regard for him, because, whatever his faults, he was every inch a king in the gen-' erosity of his impulses and the love he bore his subjects. “There was a condition then prevailing at the islands somewhat similar to that preceding the recent arrest of Wilcox, Ashford, and the other conspirators. Discontent muttered on the corners. An indefinable strain was in the political atmosphere. Without knowing why, the onlooker felt that rebellion might set the alarm bells ringing at any moment. The wrecking of a Government might have been precipitated by the jostling of a man on the sidewalk. “The king was uneasy, though he kept a smiling face and his customary affability. Feeling as we did toward him, we shared in a measure his anxiety, and awaited the expected denouement with feverish impatience. “The army was giving trouble. It had felt its power by putting down (with the aid of the baseball pitcher) the first Wilcox revolution. It became unreasonable in its demands, and the King was soon involved in trouble with his own troops. “You know the Hawaiian army consists of about sixty-seven men and half as many officers. But, though small, it is the one military prop of the island kingdom, and it has relatively as much power and importance as the Kaiser’s marshaled millions. And so it was that when fierce discontent and widespread denunciation were rife in the army, the people’s faces blanched, and apprehension mingled in the merriest rout. “At last it came. One night as Gillig and I sat on the porch of our cottage we heard the ‘roll of the stirring drum’ and the clangorous marching of armed men. “ ‘ The revolution has begun ! The army is marching on the palace! ’ shouted Gillig. “ Being a brave, aggressive man, Harry grabbed a revolver and started on the run for the palace enclosure. Being more or less of a fool, I ran after him without any revolver. Being a dog, Pierrot ran after us both. “When we reached the palace we found the entire army just drawing into line in front of it! There was all the thunder of the captains and the shouting which a man’s heart could wish. The army had come to make a demand on the King, and was prepared to enforce it with bullet and bayonet. “ Now, pretty much everything on that trip had been arranged for Pierrot’s amusement. So when he saw the gloriously caparisoned army drawn up in the glare of the palace lamps he supposed it was there as a part of his fun. With a bark and a bound he started to enjoy the army. “ Wow ! “ When Pierrot started for the army, the army saw him coming. With his bow legs, wide jaw, and red,overhanging jowl, he seemed a ravening beast. His onslaught was quick and noisy. “ The army stood its ground a moment and then began to beat a retreat. The retreat was in an instant a rout. The rout became a scramble, with the dog take the hindmost for every man’s motto. This was all the more fun for Pierrot. He gave

expression to his jaw in wild yowls of delight. Every few moments 8 gorgeous officer or slightly more subdued private would come leaping through the trees in ‘a yellow cloud of fear,’ Pierrot cuffing his heels until attracted by some other scattered remnant of the leaguering host. •‘The rebellion was suppressed, Kalakaua was maintained on the throne and Hawaii was again at peace—all on account of Harry Gillig's bull pup. ’ . The Arizona Kicker. A Fine Point.— The editor of the Kicker has a private graveyard containing a quarter of an acre of ground. Up to the present date there are ten mounds in the inclosurc, each representing a person who died very suddenly within a few feet of us. As we have been to the expense of over $400 for funeral outfits and at least $150 more in sodding the ground and planting shrubs and flowers, we think we can be pardoned for any little display of egotism on our part. Our plot is one of the sights of the town, and is generally the first thing a stranger inquires after. We are now expending fifty dollars to improve the highway connecting the town and the plot, and travel will soon be made more convenient. The point lately raised by some of the boys is this: His Honor the Mayor (who is ourself) is handy with the gun, and will probably shoot some one within a short time in the line of duty. In case he does,should his victim go in as No. 11 in the Kicker graveyard, or would he be privileged to start a new one on hi* own hook ? The matter is being generally discussed and has aroused great interest, and we shall submit it to an attorney.this week for a legal opinion. Steve’s Mistake. —When Steve Taylor was appointed town marshal the Kicker advanced the opinion that he was weak in the back and would “ crawl ” if he got into a tight place. Steve and his friends were down on us for the announcement, and we believe it was Steve himself who fired a bullet into this office one night a few weeks ago and shot th, 1 pendulum off our eight day clock The affair of Sunday night provei the of our opinion re garding Steve's sand. A bad mai from Zuni broke loose all of a suddei and began firing right and left Steve happened to be within twent; feet of him, but the “ping” of bui lets started him off down th,e stree like an antelope. His Honor th Mayor was in church and heard thi firing. He ran straight for the crowd, sized up the situation at a glance and next moment he had the bad man by the neck. The fellow was quickly disarmed, and with five minutes of his first shot he was lying on the floor of the calaboose and wondering which side of the United States had tipped up on him. Monday morning he was so anxious to get out of town that he was willing to go without his guns, which will be sold at auction for the benefit of the street improvement fund. Steve Taylor has handed in his resignation and begged our pardon. He thought he had sand, " but it was a mistake. He will open a carpenter shop on Cactus street and his advertisraent will appear in our next. No Libel Suit. —A few weeks ago we felt it our duty as a editor to refer to Col. Dan Skinner, who runs the whisky ranch on the other bank of Plum Creek, as a man whose absence from this locality would be of great benefit. We haven’t time to look back through our files, but we probably added that he was an unhung villain whose case had somehow been overlooked. The Colonel saw the item and buckled on his gun to pay us a call. The nearer he got to us the stronger grew his feelings that he was about to monkey with a landslide two miles long and he finally stopped and turned back and sent for Lawyer Hamilton. We were informed yesterday morning that we were about to be sued for $50,000 damages, and we mounted our mule and rode over to the ranch. The Colonel saw us coming and got away on his burro, but we run him down at the end of a mile and had a talk with him. He not only assured us in the most emphatic language that he had never entertained the idea of a libel suit, but that he was an admirer of our straight-from-the shoulder style and desired to subscribe for five copies of the Kicker. We then returned to town to look for Lawyer Hamilton. Some one hfid lent him a mule and he was headed for Clinch Valley, but at our second shot he pulled up and waited for us to overtake him. He also denied the reported libel suit, and likewise expressed his undying admiration for the great family newspaper of the glorious West. He wanted to subscribe for six copies of the Kicker, but as our terms are invariably cash in advance,and as he could only raise $4', we let him off on two copies. Should any of our friends hear of any more intented damage suits against us they will confer a favor by reporting at his office. Mortality is greater among the Alaskans than among any other citizens of the United States.
