Deceased was a girl of lovely disposition and a favorite witli her schoolmates and of the Presbyterian Sunday school, of which she" was an ever faithful at tendant. and the many beautiful floral offerings attested to the esteem in which, she was held. The church was filled to its utmost seating capa city, nearlv, with friends of deceased, at least half of the attendance being schoolmates and intimate companions of the little girl, and the scene was pathetic indeed. The whole com munity will deeply sympathize with the afflicted parents, brothers and sisters in their most sorrowful bereave ment.

Ever been in prison—No? Well, take a fool’s advice and don’t do any thing to get sent there for and be careful that you are not sent there whether you did anything or not, as it isn’t a nice place to spend a vaca tion in, especially six months. Six months in an American prison is not so bad—that is, I have been told so by those who have been there —but six months in a Chinese prison with a charge of being a spy is h-. Such was the lot that befell me in China during the Boxer uprising there. Unless you have visited the killing pens in a packing house you can not form a very good idea of the filthiness of a Chinese prison. Unless yon have seen the dirty negroes and foreigners ; who kill the cattle in the packing 1 houses, you cannot form a mind pic ture of the uncleanliness of the Chinese prisoners and employees in a Chinese prison, Unless you have been in the fertilizing department of a packing house your imagination can not do justice to the stench in a | Chinese penal institution. The next time you visit a city go through the 1 above departments of a packing plant ! and then you will have but a faint , representation of what I experienced during my six months’ incarceration In a Chinese prison in the nortti parti of Ciiina. Only one other English speaking person was confined there while 1 w as. He was an Englishman from London and in the rest of this article I will call him Jack. The prison was a low dirty brick building of four wings and was built to accomodate only two hundred prisoners, while at no time during our confinement was there less than five hundred prisoners—the majority of them being Chinese and Italians. The prison was surrounded by high walls which were built only about fifty yards away from the building. Thirty or forty guards walked on top of this wall day and night, and as there was only one exit escape was impossible and any attempt at escape was certain death. Although Jack and 1 were allowed | more priviliges than the rest of the prisoners, we w ere more closely guard ed than the rest, never being allowed ! to walk the grounds inside the walls without two guards at our side and without being chained together. To use the broken English expression of the prison manager, or whatever lie might be called, Jack and I were “muche dangelous Melican spies.” As word of explanation let me say that Jack' an I were newspaper corre spondents—Jack for an English paper and I for an American paper, but one day we got too bold and slipped into the enemies camp and were captured and held as spies. If we had been anything but English and American we would have been immediately shot, but the Chinese are very much afraid of England and America, so it was decided that we should be held for ransom. Such hell, pardon my using the term, as we experienced during that six months can never be told by tongue or pen. Poor Jack did not live to tell of his troubles, as a few months after we secured our release he was killed in the Phillipines, while I escaped with only a few bullet wounds, the scars of which I must carry through life. Sincerely yours, G. B. W. Hot Springs Doctors The Last Announcement of Their Coming Apr. 6, 7 and 8. As was announced in previous issues of tiiis paper Dr. Gordon, one of the Hot Springs Doctors, will arrive in Loup City March 6 and remain three days, until March 8. While here Dr. Gordon will receive patients at the St. Elmo hotel. Consultation and examination is free of charge and all curable cases will be treated free ex cept for bare cost of medicines used. Incurable cases will not be accepted for treatment at any price or under any condition. Dr. Gordon is visiting the best towns in the state for advertising purposes. The object is to secure a few difficult cases that he can cure cases that other doctors have failed to cure and have given up as hopeless. These cured patients will be good advertisements and will show what this wonderful Hot Springs System of home treatment will do. As stated above the Nebraska State Institute is located at 14th and O streets, Lincoln. Many people would naturally litsitate about going to Lincoln to be treated unless they could see what this Hot Springs System has done for others. This is the object of Dr. Gordon's advertis ing trip—to cure a few cases in each community so that others in the com munity who are sick and afflicted will not hesitate to go to the Nebraska State Institute at Lincoln for treat ment. The Hot Springs System of home treatment is the best treatment in the world for chronic diseases of the nerves, blood, skin, liver, heart lungs, stomach, including rheumatism, neu ralgia, paralysis, loss of nerve force, goitre, piles, rupture and diseases of men and diseases of women. The Hot Springs System is all home treat ment so that frequent visits to the office are not necessary. The Hot Springs System of home treatment can be used anywhere in any home without annoyance, inconvenience or publicity and without detaining the patient from his or her usual occupa tion. The United States government endorses the Hot Springs treatment and the Hot Springs Doctors hold a government license to treat chronic diseases. The llot Springs Doctors make no mistakes—they cannot afford to. They accept for treatment only curable cases and take no money from those that are incurable. To prove to you that chronic diseases are the life study of the Hot Springs Doctors and that they know the human body to the mast minute detail, Dr. Gordon will undertake to diagnose any case in a moment's time without asking the patient a single question, lie will describe every ache and pain, locating the cause of the trouble. To aid him in his diagnosis Dr. Gordon carries with him wonderful instruments in vented and used by no other doctors but the Hot Springs Doctors. As stated before this trip of Dr. Gordon is for advertising purposes and there fore lie makes the following grand free offer: Consultation and examina tion free and all curable cases will be treated free except for the bare cost of medicines used. Dr. Gordon does not claim that he can cure all cases but he only solicits difficult cases, eases that other doctors have failed to cure. Examination is absolutely free and if your case is found to lie curable by the Hot Springs System of home treatment you will be treated free of charge except for bare cost of medicines used. If your case is found to be incurable you will not be ac cepted for treatment at any price or under any conditions, it being the frank and invariable rule of the Hot Springs Doctors to accept no incur able case for treatment. The daily papers throughout the country are daily publishing accounts of wonderful cures that have been made by the Hot Springs Doctors. A recent issue of the Lincoln Daily Star contained a Half column account of a man who was cured of a complete nervous breakdown and complication of diseases from which he had been suffering for over thirty years. The following is an extract from the article mentioned above: “Ilallam. Neb., reb. Id—What Is considered one of the most remarkable feats of modern medical skill, was accomplished recently in the case of August Albers of this city. For over thirty years Mr. Albers has suffered from a complication of diseases, which finally brought on a complete nervous breakdown. Air. Albers’ friends had recommended one doctor after another and after four teen doctors had treated him with out other success than to use up near ly all the money he could earn, Mr. Albers gave up all faith in the doctors' ability to cure him. Since September of last year a decided change for the better in Mr. Albers’ condition has tjeen noticed. Upon inquiring as to this wonderful improvement. Mr. Albers gave out this wonderful interview: “When I was 11 vears old. I had an attack of what the doctors called in flammatory rheumatism. I got over this but had another attack when I was eighteen years old which was not so bad but for the last twelve years I have been sick most of the time. I was able to work some but most of tiie time I had considerable pain and the ailment kept me weak, especially my nerves were weak. I have been treated by many doctors. Some treat ed me for one tiling and others for another, but most of them called it rheumatism. Sometimes I would get better for a time, but my improve ment was only temporary and I was gradually getting worse until last September, I commenced treating with the Ilot Springs Doctors of Lin coln. Under the Hot Springs treat ment I got better from the start and for the first time in years I am free from pain and feel that I am getting well. I am building up and my nerves are getting stronger. I am well pleased with the Hot Springs treat ment. I am a farmer and live one mile south of Hallam, Neb. Avgust Albers.” This cure is almost a miracle, but the Hot Springs Doctors have hun dreds of letters on file in their offices at 14tli and O streets which are even more remarkable than this. Hardly a care of a chronic disease can lie mentioned but what these Hot Springs Doctors have a living testi monial in a parallel case which they have cured. This wonderful Hot Springs System of home treatment is what Dr. Gordon is bringing to Loup City. If you are sick and suffering and want to be made well and happy, do not fail to call on Dr. Gordon when he comes to Loup City for a three days’ | visit at the St. Elmo hotel.
