It challenges the at tention of the medical fraternity, and may yet rival the famous Dr. Koch’s lymph or the notorious Dr. Brown-Se- qnard’s elixir vital as a remedy tor tu berculosis. For some time Maggie has been suffering from pulmonary affec tion. and all medicul skill einployed,has failed to give her relief. Finally, un der the direction of her medical advi ser, she has concluded to take a coarse of dietitic treatment, which is to consist exclusively of young dog flesh. For this purpose a fat healthy Newfound land pup was killed and nicely dressed by George Harman and she began eat ing it. It is claimed that dog flesh in the coarse of assimilation is converted into a lymph ot more than ordinary vi tality. which being absorbed by the blood corpuscles supplants the decayed tissue ana adds new strength and vigor to the patient. Whether this be true or not Maggie proposes to test it* effi cacy. _____ ■ t EX-GOVERNOR CORNELL Ipvaka Hli Mind on tbo Rrc*nt JGloe* lions. Middlesbohough, Ky., Nov. 7.— Ex- Governor Alonzo B. Cornell of New York, has arrived here and will spend a few days. He said that be was the last Republican executive of the empire state, and he waa surprised and unpre pared to hear of the reeult of the recent elections in New York, end especially in Massachusetts and Iowa. He wee asked for an opinion upon the pa tiee of McKinley becoming the Repub lican candidate for the presidency in 1899. The ex-governor replied that the Ohio election meant nothing of spe cial significance, and that McKinley will not and oouid not loom up as a seri ous or formidable presidential candi date. When pressed for a reason be added with considerable irony, that the man whose name commenced with Mo would never be the nominee of either of the great parties, nor conld be be elect ed even if the nomination were secured.

Somo three weeks ago he delivered a lady of a strong, well-formed boy, and the younster has Lines been thriving wonderfully well. A few days ago the physician was called in by the young mother in much alarm, who reported that the boy's breasts hud rounded out to considerable size, and that they yielded quite a quan tity of milk wbenaabjected to pressure. The physician on investigation discov ered the fact to be as stated, and at once prescribed for the baby to prevent farther development in that direction.

The failure of a widely known bauk at Boston was a striking event of the week, bnt has caused tonishment rather than disturbance. The withdrawals of money from this point to fortify Boston have canted higher rates of interest, 6 per cent, against 8 per cent, weeks ago, but sup plies continue to come steadily from Europe. The Bank of England does not change its rates, though losing gold largely, and the official treasury report shows the addition of 183,000,000 to the actual circulation of all kinds in Octo ber. Crops are moving freely, so that it seems scarcely possible that any im portant monetary distnrhance should arise at present. It is also a reassnring fact to eastern capltaliste and investors that the western elections have resulted in the complete defeat of those who ad vocated wild financial schemes. Sc that their power in the next session of congress is likely to be much dimin ished. Reports from ‘ail parts of the conntry shows that bnsincss, though interrupt ed somewhat by the elections, has been healthy and large in volume. At Bos ton the failure of the Maverick bank caused some uneasiness, bnt business continues steady and healthy. No lack of confidence is seen, and money is easy.

Evansvii.i.r, Ind., Nov. 7.—While the steamer Bine Wing was en route to Evansville she met-the towboat a( Long- fellow, with a large tow of empty coal barges, going up the river. The steamer and barges met in a bunch of fog just above Spottsvllle, Ky., and so dense the vapor that neither conid the other, and a collision occurred. The iron-trimmed bargee, which ere not only massive and powerfnlly bnilt, bnt which stand fully eight feet out of the water, plowed right throngh the Bine Wing, tearing down her stanchions, lev eling the guards and playing havoc gen erally with the cabin. Clerk Stein,who was asleep in his state room, was rob bed of his bed, which succumbed to the barge and tumbled into the wreck. There was no loss of life, though sev eral of the crew received painful inju ries. The Nine Wing is almost a total wreck, while the bargee were only slightly damaged. Wjwre the fault Uss for the accident cannot be stated at this time. The officers of. the. Bine Wing declare that they were complying with the law, which demands that a steamer running in the fog most blow tte whittle at Intervale of a few min utes. The Longfellow's officers make the aame claim, out neither heard the other. SAFE BLOWER8 Get Six Thousand Dollar* from the Caledonia Bank.

The fire spread rapidly, aiul the store houses of Bussell ts Eagle, R. G. Hart- sell, D. G. Mann and the office of Dr. 3. W.

Kansas City, Nov. 7.—The Missouri Pacific passenger train which was held np and robbed at West Bide,. near Omaha, strived here at 9 o'clock in the morning, three hours late. The train looked as it It had gone through the war. The front door ot the express car broken into splinters. The fruut door of the smoking car had the glass ■mashed ont by ballets, and the other can were more or less perforated with ballet holes. The Pacific express car was the only one that was robbed. Immediately af ter the train arrived here the express matter that the robbers did not take was sent to the company's office. Sam Green, the messenger, went to the su- perintendent’a office and was closeted with the superintendent for some time. Before he saw his superior he wonld say nothing abont the robbery. Afterwards he said the robbers only got about $280.83. Super intendent Jouhnson also says the rob bers got but $385.88. It seems to be the generul belief, however, that $0,000 will more nearly cover the company's loss. The best story of the robbery is told by Fireman Blanchard, and is sub stantiated as follows: "We had got pretty near to the Fre mont, Elkliorn and Missonri Valley crossing, twelve miles this side of Omaha, when I saw two masked fel lows with gnns in their hands come crawling over to the water tank and coal in the tender. Hold np your bands I" they yelled, with an oath, .and'my bands went np that quick. Bnt Cavanangh did not hold np his hands at all.

There most have been a hundred shots fired. They gave me an ax and told me to break in the wrecked door of the ex- prese car. I did not work very good and they got mad and commenced firing into the platform where I stood. One bullet ont Caranangh's overalls and grazed his leg. Then they saw the door waa broken loose, and they told m* to tell the express messenger to light np inside and come ont. Icaltad to Sam and told him what they wanted.

Then then they went through every thing. "After they had completed the rob- bery of the oar one of the masked men, who seemed to be the leader, turned to the engineer and fireman and said, Come abend.* The robber* got off the traiu. ;ae*s it is all right now,’ one said: ‘get tack on the engine end go ahead. ’ The engineer and firemen complied, and the robbers disappeared. ” Several of the bullets fired by the robbers entered the sleepers and day coaches at the rear of the train, and SBln"*** FOR PARNELL’S 8UCCE8SOR. i of gnns that looked like can is.

The priests have made a house to house canvass of the voters, follow ing Immediately after the Furnellite canvassers, and threatening the electors with all sorts of horrible things if they voted for Redmond or failed to vote lor Flavin. In order to avert possib’e dis aster the polls were strongly guarded S uads of police, who had como pre fer any emergency. There were raal scenes attending a closely con tested election. The McCorthyites are more oonfidont than the others. At the close of the polling, Flavin was generally credited with victory. The poll bosses were escorted from out lying districts by troops and police. The polling was heavy. Even the lame and blind were sought ont and brought up to the polling places. It has been noticeable that in the many alterca tions between the priests and Parnell- ites, the women In most cities sided with the prifists. William O'Brien re ceived an ovation from the women, who presented him with flowers, and even divested* themselves of their ska vis for him to walk upon. Tbs supporters of Flavin claim a majority of 1,200 for him, while the Parnellites believe they carried the election by 100.

City of Mexico, Nov. 7.—Advice* received from Gnatemula are to the ef fect that affairs there have undergone a material change within the put two weeks. 1 'Where President Barilla! has heretofore muzzled the press and ban ished journalists the most absolute lib erty in writing is now allowed, and the newspaper men are taking advantage of the opportunity to score his govern ment.

Main* and McKinley the Cholca of Kanaa* Republican*# Topeka, Nov. 7.—The recent elec tions in New York, Massachusetts, Ohio, Pennsylvania nnfi Iowa have caused a great, deal of presidential talk among the leaders ot both parties. Blaine has always been the choice of the Kansas Republicans, but the recent elections have stimulated the senti ment, and nearly every Republican is for him., A quiet meeting was held by.a few leading Repnblicans of the state to start a movement for Blaine and Mc Kinley for 1802. It is surprising the number of Repnblicans who have an nounced their names as their choice. The meeting was attended by promi nent Republicans, who are desirous of forming Blaine and McKinley olubs over the state, and prepare to send a solid delegation to the next convention for these leuders. It is claimed that in the event of Mr. Blaine’s death, a man his peer as a leader wonld succeed to the presidency, and that inch a ticket would win against all combinations. DISASTROUS EARTHQUAKE.
