1 Locomotor Ataxia\ Paralysis * > Can be Cured. These extreme nervous disorders were ( treated with wonderful success by the dis* ( I coverer of Dr. Williams' Pink Pt Ils for Pale ( People, previous to his discovery being offer-. • ed to the public generally. This remedy is (j ! the only known specific in many diseases that,until recent years.were pronounced in- I I curable. Here is the proof: James Crocket, a sturdy old Scotchman living in Detroit, Mich, at 88 | Montcalm St., was cured of Locopiotor Ataxia by these pills. For many years he has been a chief engineer of one of those big passenger palace steamers plying upon the great lakes. This is a position of great responsibility and the anxiety causes a great nervous strain. Mr. Crocket says: > “For fifteen years I watched the big engines and boilers without a single Z * accident', ana only noticed that I was getting nervous. Suddenly without \ warning I was taken sick, and was prostrated. I had the best of physi- ’ cians but grew gradually worse. At a council of doctors, they said I had I nervous prostration, and had destroyed my whole nervous system and / would never recover. For three years I was unable to move from my bed. | The doctor said I had locomotor ataxia, and would never be able to walk again. . “The pains and suffering I experienced during those years ate almost indescribable. The friends that came to see me bid me good-bye when they left me and I was given up. TLc doctors said nothing more could be done. My wife kept reading to me, articles about Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills Z for Pale People. We finally decided to try them. The first box gave me II relief. I continued to use them for about two years before I could get ' strength enough to walk. lam nearly seventy-five years old and there is not a man in this city that can kick higher or walk further than I can / and to-day I owe my present good health to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for I Pale People for they saved my Ufa.”— Detroit Evnuatg Ntiue.

Our Policy of Territorial Expansion.

Annexationists are advocating the addition of Canada to this country, and think it can be accomplished in a peaceful manner without exciting a quarrel with England. Such questions call for the wisest statesmanship, just as dyspepsia, constipation, liver and kidney diseases call for a reliable remedy like Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters.

RUSSIANS AND CHINESE AT WAR

Collision Said to Have Been Canned by a Question of Taxes. A dispatch from Pekin states that a conflict occurred between the Russians and Chinese at Talienwan. About 100 Chinese are reported to have been killed. A question of taxes is said to have led to the collision. Another account of the collision at Talienwan says that 300 Chinese were killed by the Russians. The reported conflict between Russians and Chinese at Talienwan is believed to be fraught with possibilities of fresh troubles between England and Russia. Of late Russian re-enforcements have been pouring into the garrisons at Talienwan and Port Arthur, ostensibly because the natives are growing restless. England, who is ensconced just across the Straits of Pechili, at Wei-Hai-Wei, has viewed with jealous eyes the Russian occupation In the Liao-Tung peninsula. It is not unreasonable to’expect that England will make the killing of Chinese a ground for breaking up the pleasant Russian-Chinese relations. Russia occupied Talienwan something over a year ago, shortly after the occupation of Port Arthur. These moves of Russia caused great excitement in England, and at one time seemed about to result in war between the two countries. In the end, however, the British Government contented itself with occupying Wei-Hai-Wei, when Japan gave up that port, which had been held as security for the payment by China of the war indemnity. There have at various times been reports of friction between the Russians and Chinese in that region, through which Russia is now building the Manchooria extension the Siberian Railway.

PARIS MOBS BATTLE.

Opponents and Friends of Lonbet in Combat France is in an uproar over the election of President Loubet and the demonstrations of the anti-Dreyfus party in Paris are carried on with great vigor. Fighting is continually going on between the friends and enemies of the new president, and the police force has been more than doubled, and is making arrests wholesale. Although Loubet is not known to ever have expressed an opinion in the matter, it is generally understood that he is a friend of Dreyfus, and the purpose of the demonstrations against him is to force him to resign, as was done in the case of Cassimir Perier. The anti-revisionists threw rocks through the windows of the Rothschilds’ office, and the friends of Dreyfus retaliated by wrecking the office of the Petit Journal. Once in a while detachments of the opposing factions came together, and broken heads resulted. In the midst of all the excitement the fears for the safety of the republic are subsiding somewhat. The Duke of Orleans has given up hope of anything favorable happening to him and has left Turin for Milan, where he expects to meet a delegation from St. Gartland. Agents of the French police are watching him. In receiving a committee from France at Turin, the duke delivered a violent speech, in which he declared that Loubet would be the last president of the republic and predicted the early restoration of a monarchy.

TO HANG FOR BURGLARY.

A Bill to That Effect Introduced Into the Illinois Legislature. A bill has been presented in the Illinois Legislature by Representative George H. Harris of Chicago fixing the penalty for burglary of a dwelling at death. It was announced that another bill would fix the same penalty for highway robbery. “In the course of my duties,” said Chicago’s Chief of Police Kipley, speaking of the bill, “I have talked with many of the most dangerous burglars in the country. One after another has told me that if, while he were looting a house, the owner should awaken, he would shoot him. I know there would be much criticism of this law, but I believe it would have beneficial results and accomplish what capital punishment strives at —the prevention of much murder.” Police Inspector John D. Shea says the law as it now stands is sufficiently severe if the courts would impose the limits oftener. Attorney William R. Belham, who drafted the amendments to the criminal code, said: *’l believe in hanging the fellow who breaks into a dwelling, fully armed and ready to do murder if any one should try to catch him or block his escape. I believe in just one punishment, and that strong enough to be effective. So far as the intent is concerned, these men are murderers, and should be treated as such.”

PEACHES ARE RUINED.

Oranges and Pineapple* Aloo Baid to Be Badly Damaged. Reports from the fruit section of Michigan, Georgia and Florida show that the recent cold snap has played havoc with fruit generally, and especially with peaches. Chicago commission merchants say the Michigan fruit crop is killed, and prices next year are likely to be higher than for a decade past. How much the Florida.orange crop has been damaged remains to be seen, but it is believed the frost has ruined many of the trees. Florida's pineapple crop will only be a fractional one. Young orange trees have been destroyed, as also the new growth on the old trees, but the opinion is that the old groves have not been seriously injured by the extremely cold weather.

'Sporting Life” opens an extenard engagement at-McVicker’s Theater Tn Chicago Sunday night, Feb. 10. There is the greatest interest in tb-s engagement in the Windy City for the production is acknowledged the most ela borate production of a play ever made in this country, and it has moreover scored the biggest hit of the theatrical season in New York, where it has just completed a run of twenty weeks at the Academy of Music. “Sporting lase” is a melodrama of English life and u said to be the best play of its kind ever brought from across the pond. It tells the story of a fine, manly, honorable young Englishman, the Earl of Woodstock, who loves sport for sport’s sake and has risked his whole fortune through his love for his magnificent stable of thoroughbreds. The story goes through five acts, during which the evil genii of the play try their level best to wreck his fortunes, but he finally triumphs after a series of thrilling adventures. Sixteen different scenes are shown. Two hundred people take part in the performance. Robert Hilliard, who piays the heroic young Britisher, is one of the handsomest and cleverest American actors. He has been a successful star and was induced to assume this role by the offer of the largest salary jver paid to an actor in the world. Elita I’roctor Otis is also a successful star. She is considered the best player of the stage adventuress we have; Joe Wheelock is another ex-star; Frank BurbeCk has starred, and so has Jeannette Lowrie. Frazer Coulter, Robert Paton Gibbs, R. A. Roberts, who staged “Shenandoah” and also stages “Sporting Life”; Adeline Adler, Charles F. Gotthold, Edwin Holland and Margaret May are some of the prominent players in the organisation.

Fish with an Elastic Stomach.

The good old rule that a receptacle must be larger than its contents finds apparent refutation in the case of the chiasmodon, a fish popularly known as "the black swallower.” It is noted for its voracity and for the enormous distensibility of its stomach, which permits it to swallow fishes larger than itself.

Disagreeable February.
