HEATRECORD BROKEN

AUGUST WEATHER IS EXPERU ENCED IN APRIL. By Beginning Before Snnri.se tlie Ther- * mometer at Chicago Works Itself Up to.BB at 4 o'Clock, nnd Winter-Gar-ment-Wearing Public Melts. Oppressive Weather. Records in the weather line underwent a shock Thursday, from which they cannot recover format least a year. With a unanimity that was admirable all the thermometers and 'all the old residents agree that it was the hottest April day that ever fell to their lot. The thermometer in the Chicago Auditorium* tower, which always is bashful about climbing up too high, registered at one time during the afternoon as high as 84, but its metallic brothers in the streets below were not at all backward in proclaiming their knowledge that it t was 88. The weather records hold only two cases approaching that of Thursday, and those two days were in 1893 and 1894, respectively. But no proofs written or unwritten could persuade the -people that it wasn’t hottest day that any April ever produced. It began long before the sun shot up over Lake Michigan in the early morning. By 8 o’clock the jubilant mercury tube registered 78. - From that time on the metal seemed to have things its own way. It shot up with each succeeding hour until at 4 o’clock it registered just 88. At The same time the marking in the Auditorium tower had it S 4. _ _ The trouble, as everybody agreed, was that people were afraid to discard woolens, which had been in use during the winter, for lighter underwear. While the temperature went up and up the people kept saying with a fatal persistency, [“Well, it’ll be cooler to-morrow. • It’s only April and this can’t last.” But that brought no relief, and the tired men and women simply kept on perspiring. One man was overcome by the heat. Chicago was not alone in its torridity, New York just tied the record of 84 degrees, and the official thermometer of St. jLouis, which, like Chicago’s, is bashfui about too high an ascension, registered 88. In Louisville there was a good, hot, basehall temperature of 86, and even frigid Boston mustered up a marking of 76. The hot wave extended over practically the whole Mississippi valley.

Spies report his having passed Aboo Fatneh, severity miles south of Sparda, to join the dervishes who are massing at the lattei place, which is forty-five miles from the Egyptian outpost at Akasheh. Sarras and Akasheh have been stronglj garrisoned. The railway between these points is being pushed forward as rapidly

as possible. Four miles of rail have been already laid, and the track will be completed along the course laid down in 1884, in order to pass the cataracts, For the guarding of the railway, strong posts have been established on the Nile at Semneh, Wady Ambigel, Tangur and Sonki. Each of these posts has been supplied with a contingent to guard the point opposite to it on the line ns it is laid, in order to prevent the dervishes from destroying the works. The dervishes at Suarda, who number 3,000, have advanced their posts to Mograkeh, distant fifteen miles from Akasheh, the main body of the dervishes still renj&ijiing at Dongpja. m&Ex, The moral effect of the announcement of the expedition has been excellent In the Soudan and has been of the utmost service to the Italians at Kassala. Newspaper correspondents are at present prevented from going beyond Sarras. The opinion is held at Egyptian headquarters that commissariat difficulties will prevent the dervishes from making any formidable advance north of Suarda.

The Michigan Prohibitionists, in session at Lansing, spent Thursday discussing the relative merits of Jhp dominant idea and the broad-gauged The dominant idea-men aucceeded iu capturiug a majority-of the Committee on Resolutions and secured a majority report making no mention of free silver. The minority, however, reported a free sliver plank and a resolution instructing the delegation to’the national convention to work for a free silver piauk'in the national platform. The minority report was adopted unanimously and the free silver plank by an overwhelming majority. The resolution of instructions was adopted by a close vote. The delegates-at-large are Henry A.

ARMY HARDSHIPS.

No One but a Veteran Can Realize the Sufferings from Army Life. It Often Makes Oar Able-Bodied Men Helpless Invalids-Tbe Btory of One Who Suffered for Twenty Years. From the Farmers' Voice, Chicago, ItL Edson A. Wood, who now lives at 990 Washington boulevard, Chicago, 111., was born on a farm in Wyoming County, N. Y., fifty years ago. As a young man he suffered two sun strokes jn the fields. When the war broke .out, he. joined the 57th Illinois Volunteers, with which he served two yearsr~wbefr sickness forced his discharge. The effects of the sun strokes and his army life undermined his health and he soon found his brain, heart and kidneys were affected. For eight years he was with the West Chicago Street Car Company; but was forced to seek lighter work.- as the exposure increased his bronchial and asthmatic troubles. His constitution gradually but surely breaking down, strange dizzy spells becoming more frequent, he finally sought relief in Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. He said to a Reporter: “It was some time about a year ago when I was very poorly, that my head was giving me a great deai of trouble, dizzy spells, aches and queer feelings, and then I also had a strange feeling of uncertainty in the use of my lower Ihnbs when walking. “Physicians examined my condition closely and were of the opinion that I had all the first symptoms of locomotor ataxia, and I believe they were right, also last summer I had a very hard time with an attack of tousilitis and neuralgia, from which I did not recover for some time. It was then that I commenced to take these Pink Pills, and had only taken a few boxes when I discovered a remarkable change for the better in every way. The pills seemed to relieve me of aches and pains, the symptoms of locomotor ataxia have left me entirely, and they have made me strong and feel like myself. “I am going to continue with the use of the pills for the reason that having relieved me of the ailments I thought had come to stay, having been caused thirty years ago from hardships in the army, I am practically rid of them and will lose no efforts when I have the remedy at hand to keep them rid. lam only too glad to tell all my friends what experience I have had with Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and when they see the good physical condition I am in now, although near sixty years of age, they will come to the same conclusion as myself. “The above is a correct statement of facts concerning myself. (Signed) EDSON A, WOOD.” Subscribed and sworn to before me this 22d day of January, 1896. ROBERT ANSLEY, Notary Public. Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent post paid on receipt of price, 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, by addressing Dr. Williams’ Medicine Go., Schenectady, *N. Y.

A Russian Remedy.

“Some years ago,” said Paderewski, the other day In the Chicago Evening Post, “I dined with an official of the Russian army. This official had in his command an officer of great ability who was addicted to strong drink. It was arranged that the man should take dinner along with us that day. Instead of soup, the first course served to him was brandy, which he must swallow a spoonful at a time, just as he would have swallowed soup. After the first spoonful he was so sick that he implored to be spared. Under cover of a drawn revolver the official commanded him to swallow every spoonful in the plate. The officer never drank a drop of liquor after that. Try to drink champagne from a cup or liquor as that man was forced to drink it. It will make you deathly sick.”

A Cat Worth Having.

One of the greatest successes in the history of this country is that achieved by Boston’s unique 5-cent magazine, The Black Cat. In seven months it has reached a sale A one quarter of a million copies per issue.. The chief reason for this is that each number contains half a dozen of the most original and fascinating stories that brains and genius can produce and money can buy. The Philadelphia Call aptly says: Its phenomenal success has already earned for it the title, “The Marvel of the Magazine World,” and it would certainly be impossible to find in a single number of any other publication such captivating tales as are published monthly in The Black Cat. And the Boston. Post pronounces it the most fascinating 5 cents’ worth on earth.—Rochester Post Express. This most fascinating of all the modern periodicals is issued by The Story Publishing Company, Boston, Mass., at 6 cents a copy, or 50 cents a year.

Victor Hugo’s Daughter.

Most people have forgotten that Victor Hugo had an insane daughter, who Is still living In a lunatic asylum near Paris. A day or two ago a family gathering was held to appoint a guardian In place of Mr. Auguste Vacquerie, who held the office till death. The trust now falls upon Victor Hugo’s next surviving bosom friend, M. Paul Meurice, to be succeeded in case of another vacancy by the Georges Hugo. The story of Adele Hugo is Bad and romantic) She eloped with an English officer to India, and was there mqrried without the French legal formalities.

He Knew What He Wanted.

I had an interesting experience the other day in one of the cut,rate drug stores. There was a rush,of budding pharmacists to wait upon me. “ I want a bottle of Dr. ’s cure. H&w much is it?” “Eighty-three cents,” was the reply, “but we have one of our own make which is just as good ” 1 “But I don’t want that.” “If you don’t get cured after taking ours bring back the bottle—” “I insist I don’t want it’’ “And get your money, although you may have taken all the medicine. We guarantee ours, and can’t the other.” ThV fellow kept on talking, and I don’t know but that be Is still at it, for I didn’t wait to see him stop, neither did I buy what I wanted, after all. I went to a neighboring store and purchased what I thought I desired, and not something “just as good” or “better” than what I purchased. There is some satisfaction in knowing what you want and getting it without the interference of a djng»clerk.—Boston Post.

Fair and Fruitful

As the West Is, it is often malarious. But it Is pleasant to know that a competent safeguard In the shape of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters exists, which absolutely nullifies the poison of miaijma. Western-bound emigrants should be'.r this in mind. Nor should it be forgotten, the Bitters Is a sterling remedy for dyspepsia, biliousness, constipation, kidney and nervous complaints and rheumatism.

Menelek Is Sorry.

A French physician who visited the Abyssinian King Meneleji’s camp, In February, writes that Menelek has expressed sorrow at the great bloodshed resulting from the war. The Shoan army was in excellent condition at that time and had been placed under strict discipline, an unusual thing for such troops. They were reported also to have acquired a certain dignity of character and bearing, which had previously been entirely wanting. Old Menelek expressed 'no doubt as to the final outcome of the war, but stated that he hated the bloodshed, and had only acted on the defensive. He scarcely had any idea of the great slaughter of Italian troops which his soldiers would so soon make.

Abyssinians Are Good Fighters.

The Italians,' of course, explain their defeat liy the presence of French- and Russian officers with Menelek, but it may be questioned if any Anglo-Indian general accpstomed to mountain warfare would agree with them. Drill does not improve Oriental soldiers like the Abyssinians. They are Semites In blood, of exceptional courage, men who did not hesitate to charge into the center of the Italian regiments; they have been accustomed to defend their hills for a thousand years; and they have generals accustomed to utilize masses of men who recently destroyed an army from Khartoum at Kassala. They had good rifles, they were op the higher ridges . when they started, and their king, Menelek, Is obviously a soldier of the Hyder Ali type—that is, a man who can induce his soldiery to die. To beat such men they must either be decoyed out of the hills or attacked from above, and the Italians were still mounting when an avalanche of riflemen swept down on them, The number of the dead suggests that the Italians fought well, but the frightful proportion of officers killed, two-thirds the whole Humber, tells a different tale. The officers, we fear,, exposed themselves to arrest a panic, which may, however, broken out at first only among the native troops.—London Spectator.

After meals I would feel as if • ball of lead was lodged in my stomach, tired and listless, as though life was scarcely worth living. Finally I was attracted to the ad of Ripans Tabules, and concluded to try them. Aftet taking the first two or three I was surprised to find the relief they gave, and by the time 1 emptied the first box I felt like a new man.
