Gray, who lives nine miles northwest of the place, start- ed on horseback to get a doctor to re- turn with him to see the sick. He had gone but a short distance when he was overtaken by a pack of gray wolves and was chased some three or four miles as pastas his horse could run. He says they were within one rod of him at one time and he could distinguish some twenty hungry mouths, and he thought at one time they would get ahead of his horse, but when nearing town they left him. He gives a thrilling account of his narrow escape from death. New* in BruL . John Fradet, of Edgerly, recently found the charred remains of a wagon and team near that place supposed to belong to Fred Woodhead, who disap- peared a short time before a prairie fire last fall. He was the son of a wealthy manufacturer at Leeds, Eng., and his wife, from whom he separated a year ago, lives at Cooper, Iowa.. It is now thought he was murdered for money. It is reported that John O'Brien, a well known printer, who was recently frozen near Jamestown, is lying in a precarious condition in the hospital at that place. Both his legs and one arm have been amputated. H. P. Wilson, formerly of Grand Forks, tried raising bees last season, and starting out with eight colonies in April, gathered 425 one-pound sections of honey last fall. He thinks that bee farming would pay in North Dakota.

A representative of the Northern Pa- cific department has paid the company's personal property taxas for 1894 in the counties of Stutsman, Foster and' Eddy within the last few days. The total for the three counties amounted to over $13,000, about half of which went into the Stutsman county treasury.

Nvw ORLEANS, March 14.—There were two separate and distinct riots here Tuesday, both probably resulting from the same plan. One occurred on the river front, near the French mar- ket, where the ship Engineer was loading for Liverpool. The other oc- curred about 4 miles distant, in the di- rection of Carrollton, at the foot of Philip street. Only one man, William Campbell (colored), was killed in the latter affair. The names of the dead are: William Campbell (colored); Jules Carrabee, Leonord Mellard and two unknown negroes, who have not been identified. A total of eight were wounded. Doubtless a number of other negroes were slightiy wounded, but ran away and cannot be identified. The riot was far more serious than the loss of life indicated, for it showed the mob to be in complete control and able to defy and override the police and hold the commerce of the city completely at its mercy. It marched along the entire city front, some 8 or 10 miles, in two armies, equipped with rifles, shotguns and pistols, dispersing all companies of negroes at work there and shooting all who opposed it without the slight- est check or hindrance or the least at- tempt at resistance on the part of the laborers or police. The mob was com- pletely master of the situation, firing right and left at all who got in the way and at many points even the ves- sels lying at the wharf received show- ers of bullets. The negroes were taken completely by surprise. They ran about like a lot of wild animals, and their cries were pitiful. Many sought refuge aboard the ship while some ran down the wharf and made their escape. One negro, it is stated, jumped under the wharf. It is impossible to estimate the num- ber of shots fired, but it is said that there were about 200. The firing was reckless on all sides, not caring whom tliey shot. After their bloody work tbe attackers hurried oft' as fast as they had come, moving along the levee up town unmolested. [The trouble which started in September, the beginning of the commercial war in New Orleans, and which originated over labor mat- ters, has in time changed to a bitter race war. The white scrcwmen who load cotton on ves- sels, and who constitute one of the strongest labor unions in this country, have been mas- ters of the cotton situation in New Orleans fo.- years. They decided that there was not enough money in the business for them and tbe ne- groes, and prohibited the latter from loading cotton vessels The negroes replied by reduc- ing the rate of pay, which had been five and six dollars a day for seven or eight hours' work, and in this were supported by the ship agents. The war has raged ever since The wharves of the West Indian line, the first to use negro labor, were burned down by an incendiary tire with a loss of (850.000. The wharves of the Texas & Pacific, with 25.000 bales of cotton were de- stroyed: loss. S50i),003. The ships were In- vaded by the white laborers, the negroes run into the river and their tools thrown after them. The negroes were fired on at Gretna and Southport. bombs were' placed in the cot- ton and various other means used to frighten them off. 1 Nkw ORLEANS, March 15.—This city will have its hands full paying dam- ages to foreign claimants as the result of Tuesday's riot. The foreign consuls held a meeting, which was not ended until a late hour Wednesday morning, at which it was decided to confer with the various ambassadors and ministers at Washington in relation to the steps that should be taken in the matter of securing the payment of indemnity and urging the immediate punishment of the offenders. To that end a full statement of the riot and its results was made out and sent to the diplomats at Washington representing the various foreign na- tions interested. The British ambassa- dor at Washington has instructed his consul here to collect evidence con- cerning the murder of Purser Bain, of the British steamship Engineer, to be used in the suit which is to be insti- tuted at once against the city of New Orleans. •lames Bane, the purser of the steam- ship Engineer, who received five bul- let wounds, rests easily and the sur- geons of the infirmary declare the chances are in favor of his recovery. NKW OHI.KANH, March 10.—Thursday morning the Washington artillery, commanded by Col. Richardson, and consisting of two llotchkiss guns and about 120 armed men. proceeded to the site of the disturbance. The Second, Third and Fourth battalions of state troops were sent up town in the direc- tion of Carrollton and stationed at various points on the levee front. Un- der the protection thus afforded many colored men started to work at 1 o'clock, and no further trouble occurred. ' Dliuter at Toledo. TOI.EDO. O., March 1!».—One of the most disastrous fires in the way of loss of human life that this city has experi- enced broke out'sliortly after 10 o'clock Sunday morning in the roundhouse of the Wabash Railway company. The damage to property was comparatively small, but three men lost their lives, two being killed in- stantly and nine others more or less injured. Victim* of Flood. BIRMINGHAM. Ala..

WAI,8ENBKRG, Col., March 14.—Two or three days ago Deputy Sheriff Uixon was brutally murdered at this place by several Italian coal miners. After pounding the deputy's head into a pulp the body was hidden and was not- found until Monday morning, when a general alarm was given and blood- hounds put upon the murderers" trail. In a short time the well-trained dogs succeeded in running down four men. who acknowledged having committed the crime, and each .endeavored to lay it on the other. Late Tuesday after- noon an inquest was held, at which the guilt of the four Italians was plainly proved. At the conclusion of the session of the day the prisoners were loaded into a wagon and started back to the jail. At Hear creek, a region where there is much underbrush, half a mile from Walsenburg, the crack of a dozen rifles, probably in the hands of miners, rung out. Four of the prisoners, whose names cannot be learned on amount of the excitement, were instantly killed. Joe Welby, a young American boy, who was driving the wagon, was also killed. The officers returned the fire, which lasted several minutes. WAI.SENBIRO. Col., March 15.—An armed mob of citizens and miners from the surrounding country forced their way into the jail here early on Wednes- day and shot down two more of the Italians charged with the murder of the Arkansan, A. J. llixon, last Sun- day. No determined attempt was made to oppose the rush of the avengers. WASHINGTON. March 15.—Marquis Im- periali, first secretary ot the Italian le- gation, called at the state department Wednesday morning and directed the attention of the officials to i the news from Walsenburg. Col., of the assassina- tion of four Italians. He asked that the good offices of the state depart- ment be used immediately to prevent the further killing of his countrymen. DENVER, Col., March 16.—The gov- ernor has just received a telegram from ltaron Fava at Washington ask- ing him to proceed at once against the murderers of the Italians at Walsen- burg. Gov. Mclntyre will act at once. DENVER, Col., March lit.—Gov. Mc- lntyre Saturday night gave out a proc- lamation announcing a reward of $1,000 for the arrest and conviction of those who were implicated, in the killing of the Italians at Walsenburg. He de- clares his intention to give the matter his close personal attention and see that the law is vindicated. END OF A FEUD. FASHION LETTER. A lJouble Murder Occurs at McGregor, Minn. DUI.VTH, Minn., March 18.—The most cold-blooded and deliberate murder in the annals of crime in Minnesota was committed at McGregor, a village about 70 miles north of here, some time Fri- d ay morning. About 9 o'clock Friday morning Arcangelo and Nicholas Cristilli, brothers, entered the small general store kept by Ben Jennetta and his wife and riddled them with bul- lets from Winchester rifles. Jen- netta's head was blown nearly from his shoulders and both he and his wife died instantly. McGregor is a small lumber camp and is inhabited mostly by Italians. The majority of the members of the settlement come from the same province in Italy and have been acquainted for years. In the dispatches from McGregor and Aitken practically no reason is as- signed for the deed. It is said that the two families bad a quarrel over the cutting of some timber, which each claimed, and that this was what led to the deed. But the crew of a Northern Pacific way train which arrived in Duluth Friday night say that the murder was prompted by an entirely different motive. The Italians they talked with in McGregor say that the bad blood between the Jennetta and Cristilli families was en- gendered in Italy, where a brother of Jennetta*s wife stabbed in a street row the brother of the Cristillis. The Cri$- tillis are new arrivals in McGregor and the trainmen say that the story is that they followed the Jennettas to that place for the express purpose of re- venging themselves for the stabbing of their brother. BIG COAL TRUST. It 1* Organised to Control the Output ot Ohio Mines. COLUMBUS, O., March 15.—A powerful pool of all the coal railroad companies in Ohio and all the corporations in the state has been organized here. Seven roads which tap the coal fields are in the deal, which involves millions; of dollars. The output of the state, amounting to over 7,000,000 tons of coal per annum, will be controlled and 250 coal agencies, which formerly distributed the product of the mines, will be done away with, all operations being conducted from one central of- fice. between 18,000 and 20,000 men will be employed by this trust in the mines, and the saving from the aboli- tion df the agencies, it is claimed, will enable the operators to pay better wages than are received elsewhere. State Cannot Help tbe Destitute. DENVER. Col., March 16. —The su- preme court holds that the bill passed by the legislature for the relief of east- ern Colorado farmers is unconstitution- al. Destitute farmers will have to look elsewhere than to the state for seed with which to make a fresh start this spring. % •arly Rprta* Faactee Fotreeast I* ttrtM-lm «f Separate Waists aad Skirts, and.

[Special New York Correspondence. 1 Fashion may be said to have as- sumed a tolerably definite form, and the sun of the mode will probably now Btand still until the creation of the charming Easter costumes invokes French novelties. But already we have a bewildering display of spring fancies in gowns, capes, coats, waists, hats, bonnets, dress materials and garnitures. The shops are crowded and the counters laden with most tempting novelties of every descrip- tion, Among the invoices of the week, ap- pear three-toned whipcord fabrics, fancy French shepherds' check in blue, green, brown and black, severaly combined with white and often brightened by a vivid stripe of con- trasting color. For stylish tailor gowns, are shown French, German and English novelty suit- i n g s in beaut iful tones and semi - tones, a spec i a 1 d i s play of silk and crepons in basket and Aon ey comb weaves, fancy Scotch cheviots for t r a v e ling and shop- p i n g cos- t u m e s. Goat's hair textiles in varied color- ings, and dark and light colored Fayettas. Henriettas, and soft-tinted French cashmeres, printed with tiny rosebuds, stars, dots, and small geo- metrical figures. Great interest centers upon the sep- arate waists and separate skirts, and for the latter garments nearly every sort of fabric has been pressed into service, from gingham to velvet, from serge to Lyons satin. While as regards the fancy waists, they are as numerous as birds and roses in early June. In combination with these never-so-popu- lar waists, made in every style and of every pretty material, the separate skirt becomes the acme of convenience and taste in the formation of a toilet. Entire costumes, however, are not neglected, and the market never before exhibited any- thing equal to this season's variety and quantity. La- dies of every size and weight can now be fitted in the suit de- p a rtments of all enterpris- ing dry-goods h o uses, and these costumcs compose all the best lead- ing ideas of skillful design- ers who, after a trip abroad, have returned with the newest and latest styles in Europe, and ready-made garments are now constructed with all the care, fin- ish and grace that a tailor or leading modiste can furnish. Iiipple capes of velvet that reach just below the waist line are the most ele gant spring garments yet shown'. These are in black, dark green, Gis- monda red and irolden brown. For spring uses there appears to be a tendency toward fancy puff effects in sleeves rather than for a con- tinued use of the mutton leg varieties. Still these last mentioned models will not go out of favor though they will have several stormy rivals. The present shapes are cut so that they give a droop, ing effect with the greatest fullness near the elbow. In shaping the puffed sleeve, each modiste uses her own taste as to its size and adjustment, but in every case the sleeve from elbow to wrist fits very snugly. This will be a silk spring and sum- mer, for there is a host of lovely silks, satins and small-patterned brocades, both plain and striped, in dainty color- ings of beautiful quality, and tempt- ingly low in price. In making up these textiles, the round waist is rivaled by the pointed bodice and the short, jaunty jacket-bodice, with re vers and-,, fall sleeves often made of a contrasting silk or satin, but matching in color. There is also a rage for tartan waists ol taffeta silk: plaid waists of fine cash- mere that closely copy tbe eolorings and designs of the taffetas. Also waists ot the shepherd's check silks in various pretty color-blendinge. to bp worn;,with silk or crepon skirtfiin "irr&n or blucfe. _ * KIRS DUKHJ£M.4« W*A8 GOULD INSiNEf--t nanaolsl Worry andPhyaiaal •rtSon Not tho Greatest Da- p ** a Btroyer of Human Life. * r©r Bemanlty'a Sake, After Thlrty-sla Years of Nerve-Oeeplag Slavery.

J., March 19,18».—(Special.* Since one of our prominent citisens suffered so terribly from tobacco tremens, has mailt* known his frightful experience in behair of humanity, the ladies here are making tobac- co-using husbands' lives miserable with their eutreaties to at once quit tobacco. The writtea statement of 8. J. Gould is attracting wide-spread attention. Wheu in- terviewed to-night he said: "I commenced using tobacco at thirteen; I am now forty- nine; so, for thirty-six yean I chewed, ( tnoked, snuffed and rubbed suuff. n the morning I chewed before I put my pants on, and for a long time I used two ounces of chewing and eight ounces of smoking a day. Sometimes I had a chew in both cheeks and a pipe in mv mouth at once. Ten years ago I quit drinking whisky. 1 tried to stop tobacco time and again, but could not. My nerves cravednicotine audi fed them, till my skin turned a tobacco- brown, cold, sticky perspiration oozed from my skin, and trickled down my back at the least exertion or excitement. My nerve vigor and my life was beingslowly sapped. I made up my mind that 1 had to quit tobacco or die. On October 1 1 stopped, and for three days I suffered the tortures of the damned. On the third day I got so bad that my part- ner accused me of being drunk. 1 said, 'No, 1 have quittobacco.' 'For God's sake, man,' he said, offering me his tobacco box, 'take a chew; you will go wild,* and 1 was wild. Tobacco waa forced into me and I was taken home dazed. I saw double and my memory waa beyond control, but I still knew how to chew and smoke, which 1 did all day un- til towards night, when my system got tobacco-soaked again. The next morning t looked and felt as though I bad been through a long spell of sickness. 1 gave up in de- spair, as I thought that I could not cure my- self. Now, for suffering humanity, I'll tell what saved my life. Providence evidently answered my good wife's prayers aud brought to her attention in our paj>er an ar- ticle which read: 'Don't Tobacco Spit and Smoke Your Life Away I' "What a sermon and warning in these words! Just what I was doing. It told about a guaranteed cure for the tobacco habit, called No-To-Bac. 1 sent to Drug- gist Hasler for a box. Without a grain of faith 1 spit out my tobacco cud, aud put into my mouth a little tablet upon which was stamped No-To-Bac. 1 know it sounds like a lie when I tell you that 1 took eight tablets the ttrst day, seven the next, live the third day, and all the nerve-creeping feel- ing, restlessness and mental depression was gone. It was too good to be true. It seemed like a dream. That was a month ago. 1 used one box. It cost me ft, and it is worth a tiiousund. I gained ten pouuds in weight and lost all desire for tobacco from the ttrst day. 1 sleep and eat well and I have been benefited in more ways than 1 can tell. No, the cure was no exception in my case. I know of ten people right here in Caldwell who have bought No-1'o-Bac from Hasler, and they have been cured. Now that 1 rea- lise what No-To-Bac has done for me and others, 1 kuow why it is that the makers of this wonderful remedy, the Sterling Rem- edy Company, of New York and Chicago, say: 'We don't claim to cure every case. That's Fraud's talk, a lie; but we do guar- antee three boxes to cure the tobacco habit, and in case of failure we are perfectly will- ing to refund money.' 1 Would not* give s public indorsement if I were not certain of Its reliability. 1 know it is backed by mem worth s million. No-To-Buc has been a God-send to me, and I firmly believe it will cure any case of tobacco-using if faithfully tried, and there are thousands of tobacco slaves who ought to know how easy it is to get free. There's happiness in No-To-Bao for the prematurely old men, who thiuk aa I did that they are old and worn out, when tobacco is the thing that destroys their vi- tality and manhood." The public should be warned, however, against the purchase of any of the many imitations on the market, as the success of No-To Bac has brought forth a host of counterfeiters and Imitators. The genuine No-To-Bac is sold under a guarantee to cure, by all druggists, and every tablet has the word No-To-Bac plainly stumped there- on, and you run uo physical or financial risk in purchasing the genuine article.

Many sought refuge aboard the ship while some ran down the wharf and made their escape. One negro, it is stated, jumped under the wharf. It is impossible to estimate the number of shots fired, but it is said that there were about 200. The firing was reckless on all sides, not caring whom tliey shot. After their bloody work tbe attackers hurried oft' as fast as they had come, moving along the levee up town unmolested.

    [The trouble which started in September, the beginning of the commercial war in New Orleans, and which originated over labor matters, has in time changed to a bitter race war. The white scrcwmen who load cotton on vessels, and who constitute one of the strongest labor unions in this country, have been masters of the cotton situation in New Orleans fo.-years. They decided that there was not enough money in the business for them and tbe negroes, and prohibited the latter from loading cotton vessels The negroes replied by reducing the rate of pay, which had been five and six dollars a day for seven or eight hours' work, and in this were supported by the ship agents. The war has raged ever since The wharves of the West Indian line, the first to use negro labor, were burned down by an incendiary tire with a loss of (850.000. The wharves of the Texas & Pacific, with 25.000 bales of cotton were destroyed: loss. S50i),003. The ships were Invaded by the white laborers, the negroes run into the river and their tools thrown after them. The negroes were fired on at Gretna and Southport. bombs were' placed in the cotton and various other means used to frighten them off. 1

    DEADLY REVENGE. Stat Men Lyaehed by * Meb at Waleea<

    berg, Gal. WAI,8ENBKRG, Col., March 14.—Two

    or three days ago Deputy Sheriff Uixon was brutally murdered at this place by several Italian coal miners. After pounding the deputy's head into a pulp the body was hidden and was not-found until Monday morning, when a general alarm was given and blood-hounds put upon the murderers" trail.

    In a short time the well-trained dogs succeeded in running down four men. who acknowledged having committed the crime, and each .endeavored to lay it on the other. Late Tuesday afternoon an inquest was held, at which the guilt of the four Italians was plainly proved.

    At the conclusion of the session of the day the prisoners were loaded into a wagon and started back to the jail. At Hear creek, a region where there is much underbrush, half a mile from Walsenburg, the crack of a dozen rifles, probably in the hands of miners, rung out. Four of the prisoners, whose names cannot be learned on amount of the excitement, were instantly killed. Joe Welby, a young American boy, who was driving the wagon, was also killed. The officers returned the fire, which lasted several minutes.

    FASHION LETTER.

    A lJouble Murder Occurs at McGregor, Minn.

    DUI.VTH, Minn., March 18.—The most cold-blooded and deliberate murder in the annals of crime in Minnesota was committed at McGregor, a village about 70 miles north of here, some time Fri-d ay morning.

    About 9 o'clock Friday morning Arcangelo and Nicholas Cristilli, brothers, entered the small general store kept by Ben Jennetta and his wife and riddled them with bullets from Winchester rifles. Jen-netta's head was blown nearly from his shoulders and both he and his wife died instantly. McGregor is a small lumber camp and is inhabited mostly by Italians. The majority of the members of the settlement come from the same province in Italy and have been acquainted for years.

    In the dispatches from McGregor and Aitken practically no reason is assigned for the deed. It is said that the two families bad a quarrel over the cutting of some timber, which each claimed, and that this was what led to the deed. But the crew of a Northern Pacific way train which arrived in Duluth Friday night say that the murder was prompted by an entirely different motive. The Italians they talked with in McGregor say that the bad blood between the Jennetta and Cristilli families was engendered in Italy, where a brother of Jennetta*s wife stabbed in a street row the brother of the Cristillis. The Cri$-tillis are new arrivals in McGregor and the trainmen say that the story is that they followed the Jennettas to that place for the express purpose of revenging themselves for the stabbing of their brother.

Seven roads which tap the coal fields are in the deal, which involves millions; of dollars. The output of the state, amounting to over 7,000,000 tons of coal per annum, will be controlled and 250 coal agencies, which formerly distributed the product of the mines, will be done away with, all operations being conducted from one central office. between 18,000 and 20,000 men will be employed by this trust in the mines, and the saving from the abolition df the agencies, it is claimed, will enable the operators to pay better wages than are received elsewhere.

    [Special New York Correspondence. 1 Fashion may be said to have as

    sumed a tolerably definite form, and the sun of the mode will probably now Btand still until the creation of the charming Easter costumes invokes French novelties. But already we have a bewildering display of spring fancies in gowns, capes, coats, waists, hats, bonnets, dress materials and garnitures. The shops are crowded and the counters laden with most tempting novelties of every descrip-tion,

    Among the invoices of the week, appear three-toned whipcord fabrics, fancy French shepherds' check in blue, green, brown and black, severaly combined with white and often brightened by a vivid stripe of contrasting color. For stylish tailor gowns, are shown French, German and

    E n g l i s h novelty suit-i n g s in beaut iful t o n e s a n d semi - tones, a s p e c i a 1 d i s play of silk and crepons in basket and Aon ey comb w e a v e s , fancy Scotch cheviots for t r a v e ling and shop-p i n g cos-t u m e s. Goat's hair textiles in varied color

    ings, and dark and light colored Fayettas. Henriettas, and soft-tinted French cashmeres, printed with tiny rosebuds, stars, dots, and small geometrical figures.

    Great interest centers upon the separate waists and separate skirts, and for the latter garments nearly every sort of fabric has been pressed into service, from gingham to velvet, from serge to Lyons satin. While as regards the fancy waists, they are as numerous as birds and roses in early June. In combination with these never-so-popular waists, made in every style and of every pretty material, the separate skirt becomes the acme of convenience and taste in the formation of a toilet.

    Entire costumes, however, are not neglected, and the market never before exhibited anything equal to this season's v a r i e t y a n d quantity. Ladies of every s i z e a n d weight can now be fitted in the suit de-p a rtments of all enterprising dry-goods h o u s e s , a n d these costumcs compose all the best leading ideas of skillful designers who, after a trip abroad, have returned with the newest and latest styles in Europe, and ready-made garments are now constructed with all the care, finish and grace that a tailor or leading modiste can furnish.

    Iiipple capes of velvet that reach just below the waist line are the most ele gant spring garments yet shown'. These are in black, dark green, Gis-monda red and irolden brown.

    For spring uses there appears to be a tendency toward fancy puff effects in

    sleeves rather than for a continued use of the mutton leg varieties. Still these last m e n t i o n e d m o d e l s w i l l not go out of favor though they will have s e v e r a l stormy rivals. The present shapes are cut so that they give a droop, ing effect with the greatest fullness near t h e e l b o w .

    In shaping the puffed sleeve, each modiste uses her own taste as to its size and adjustment, but in every case the sleeve from elbow to wrist fits very snugly.

    This will be a silk spring and summer, for there is a host of lovely silks, satins and small-patterned brocades, both plain and striped, in dainty colorings of beautiful quality, and temptingly low in price. In making up these textiles, the round waist is rivaled by the pointed bodice and the short, jaunty jacket-bodice, with re vers and-,, fall sleeves often made of a contrasting silk or satin, but matching in color. There is also a rage for tartan waists ol taffeta silk: plaid waists of fine cashmere that closely copy tbe eolorings and designs of the taffetas. Also waists ot the shepherd's check silks in various pretty color-blendinge. to bp worn;,with silk or crepon skirtfiin "irr&n or blucfe.

    r©r Bemanlty'a Sake, After Thlrty-sla Years of Nerve-Oeeplag Slavery.

    Jie Tells Bow He Wat Vet Free.

    Caldwell. N. J., March 19,18».—(Special.* Since one of our prominent citisens suffered so terribly from tobacco tremens, has mailt* known his frightful experience in behair of humanity, the ladies here are making tobac-co-using husbands' lives miserable with their eutreaties to at once quit tobacco.

    The writtea statement of 8. J. Gould is attracting wide-spread attention. Wheu interviewed to-night he said: "I commenced using tobacco at thirteen; I am now forty-nine; so, for thirty-six yean I chewed, (tnoked, snuffed and rubbed suuff. n the morning I chewed before I put my pants on, and for a long time I used two ounces of chewing and eight ounces of smoking a day. Sometimes I had a chew in both cheeks and a pipe in mv mouth at once. Ten years ago I quit drinking whisky. 1 tried to stop tobacco time and again, but could not. My nerves cravednicotine audi fed them, till my skin turned a tobacco-brown, cold, sticky perspiration oozed from my skin, and trickled down my back at the least exertion or excitement. My nerve vigor and my life was beingslowly sapped. I made up my mind that 1 had to quit tobacco or die. On October 1 1 stopped, and for three days I suffered the tortures of the damned. On the third day I got so bad that my partner accused me of being drunk. 1 said, 'No, 1 have quittobacco.' 'For God's sake, man,' he said, offering me his tobacco box, 'take a chew; you will go wild,* and 1 was wild. Tobacco waa forced into me and I was taken home dazed. I saw double and my memory waa beyond control, but I still knew how to chew and smoke, which 1 did all day until towards night, when my system got tobacco-soaked again. The next morning t looked and felt as though I bad been through a long spell of sickness. 1 gave up in despair, as I thought that I could not cure myself. Now, for suffering humanity, I'll tell what saved my life. Providence evidently answered my good wife's prayers aud brought to her attention in our paj>er an article which read: 'Don't Tobacco Spit and Smoke Your Life Away I'

    "What a sermon and warning in these words! Just what I was doing. It told about a guaranteed cure for the tobacco habit, called No-To-Bac. 1 sent to Druggist Hasler for a box. Without a grain of faith 1 spit out my tobacco cud, aud put into my mouth a little tablet upon which was stamped No-To-Bac. 1 know it sounds like a lie when I tell you that 1 took eight tablets the ttrst day, seven the next, live the third day, and all the nerve-creeping feeling, restlessness and mental depression was gone. It was too good to be true. It seemed like a dream. That was a month ago. 1 used one box. It cost me ft, and it is worth a tiiousund. I gained ten pouuds in weight and lost all desire for tobacco from the ttrst day. 1 sleep and eat well and I have been benefited in more ways than 1 can tell. No, the cure was no exception in my case. I know of ten people right here in Caldwell who have bought No-1'o-Bac from Hasler, and they have been cured. Now that 1 realise what No-To-Bac has done for me and others, 1 kuow why it is that the makers of this wonderful remedy, the Sterling Remedy Company, of New York and Chicago, say: 'We don't claim to cure every case. That's Fraud's talk, a lie; but we do guarantee three boxes to cure the tobacco habit, and in case of failure we are perfectly willing to refund money.' 1 Would not* give s public indorsement if I were not certain of Its reliability. 1 know it is backed by mem worth s million. No-To-Buc has been a God-send to me, and I firmly believe it will cure any case of tobacco-using if faithfully tried, and there are thousands of tobacco slaves who ought to know how easy it is to get free. There's happiness in No-To-Bao for the prematurely old men, who thiuk aa I did that they are old and worn out, when tobacco is the thing that destroys their vitality and manhood."

    The public should be warned, however, against the purchase of any of the many imitations on the market, as the success of No-To Bac has brought forth a host of counterfeiters and Imitators. The genuine No-To-Bac is sold under a guarantee to cure, by all druggists, and every tablet has the word No-To-Bac plainly stumped thereon, and you run uo physical or financial risk in purchasing the genuine article.
