aUBHUfO TO DEATH ID the attempt to swiin the Niagara Whirlpool Rapids LB no more reckless or dangerous than to trifle with (lipase which each day secures a stronger hold and hastens the end of life. This is specially true of rheumastism, neuralgia, sciatica, and nervous headache, which though perhaps slight at first are ex* tremelv dangerous, and steadily secure a firmer grip until at last the agony is unen durable and sudden death brings relief. These diseases can be cured by the use of Athlophoros which, in connection with Athlophoros Pills, never fails when prop erly used. Bead the following from those -who have tested it. C. A. Steward, Nelson, Pa., says: "Ath lophoros has saved my mother's "life. Last spring, two of the best physicians in the county, said she could not live two months. She had been helpless for a year, had to be lifted off and on the bed,' limb 3 all drawn out of shape, cords contracted, flesh sore to the touch, could not be lilted or touched without screaminy iloud. The soreness is all gone, the cords relaxed, appetite good, and gaining every day, and I think a few more bottles will cure her." Now Haven, Conn. I had the neuralgia for three months in my face. Went to the doctor; he gave me some medicine to take internally and a preparation of chloroform to put on the out side, but it did not do any good. Could not sleep night or day. Had suffered so much and so long that I was afraid it would drivo me crazy. Was told to try Athlophoros by a party it had cured of the rheumatism. After taking part of a bottle the pain all left as by magic, and now I am well, with not a sign of neuralgia about me. MAMIE DIETRICH, 16 Hudson St. Every druggist should keep Athlophoros and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can not be bousht of the druggist the Athlo phoros C 0.," 112 Wall St., New York, will send either (carriage paid) on receipt of regular price, which is SI.OO per bottle for Athlophoros and 50c. for Pills. For liver and kidney diseases, dyspepsia, in digestion, weakness, nervous debility, diseases of women, constipation, headache, impure blood, <fcc., Athlophoros Pills are unequaled, s VDu can * cured Of RHEUMATISM by using RUSSIAN RHEUMATISM CURt. It is not » care-all. Tt MN 1 " rtrtiiing bat Rhenma tism bot it to » »afe AND sure cure for that disease. Thousands who hare been cared will testify to its re liability. MB G. B.

THE OITIZBIT. ; MISCELLANEOUS BISMARCK AGGRESSIVE Arrest of a French Government Official by German Author ities.--Fears of Serious Consequences. PARIS, April 21.—A great sensa i tioa has been produced here by the ! news that a French official has been I arreated on German territory and j sent handcuffed tt Meiz The ae counts received from French sources say that M. Schnaebell, the func tionary in questiou, is au inspector of police at the railway station oi Pagny sur-Moselle, near the frontier of Al sace-Lorraiue. llerr Gautscb, the police inspector at Ars-sur-Moselle. on the other side of the boundary, had written several letters to M. Schuaebell inviting the French official to confer with him respecting various details of their respective services. Yesterday afternoon about 2 o'clock M. Schuaebell crossed the frontier alone and on foot on his way to Ars sur-Mcselie, but he had scarcely in ade his appearance ou German territory when two gensdarmes attired iu white blouses threw themselves upon him and burling him after a desperate struggle to the ground placed hand cuffs upon him. Some laborers who were at work in the vineyards hard by were spec tators of the scene, and they relate that M. Schnaebel, who is a strong well-built mun, offered an obstinate resistance and that the Germans bad great trouble in overcoming him. M. Schnaebell was conducted by his captors to Neveant and thence to Metz, where the party arrived at 4 o'clock. The French inspector was immediately examined by the au thorities. TALK OF A "CAUSE FOR WAR." The telegrams received here state that the reasons for M. Schnaebell's arrest are absolutely unknown. It is true that a Metz newspaper declares that the agitation of the Patriotic League bad something to do with it, but we are assured that there is no foundation for this assertion. The feeling all along the frontier is de described as very strong, and a Nancy correspondent asks whether in ar resting M. Schnaebell they wish to produce a casus belli. It must be re membered that these are the French accounts of the incident and that no explanation has yet been received from German sources. The French in their indignation declare that a trap was deliberately laid for M. Schnaebell and assume that bis ar rest was intended as a fresh test of j their forbearance. The use of tbe casus belli and the prominence given by some of the journals to the affair prove the ex citement which the incident his pro duced in some quarters. Straugely enough at this very moment the late president of tbe Patriotic League is abusing the B'rencb Government for its pusillanimity. The activity shown in German military circles during the past lew days, and the fact that large numbers of soldiers have traveled over the various railways en route to join their respective regiments, have given rise lo fresh war rumors in Berlin and caused much uueasiness. It is semiofficially explained, however, that all this activity is due solely to the fact that the reserves have been called out for the usual Spring drill By Associated Press The IMetzer Zeituny says M Schnaebells' arrest is due to his con nection with his anti-German agita tion conducted by the Patriotic League; but the people of Pagny sur-Moselle declare this to be en tirely untrue, and say that he had nothing to do with the agitation The incident has thrown the inhabi tants of Metz and Nancy into the wildest state of excitement. Rentes were unfavorably affected by the incident The market for 3 per cent rentes for the account be came flat and the quotations declin ed 45 centimes duriug tbe afternoon, closing at the lowest price. The latest pirt'euiars show that tbe Germans requested Commissary Schnaebells to set up one of ihe posts which mark the frontier ii:ja. The Commissary crossed tho boundary and advanced a few yards on German soil, when he was seized by German police agents, who were disguised in eray blouses. Lie knocked the ajrents down and escaped back to French territory, but he was seized, band cuffed aud sent to Meiz where hfi was placed iu the prison iu which accused persona are confined before trial The warrant for the arrest erni nated from tho prosecutor at Metz, who acted under instructions from Strasburij. The French Procurator at Nancy has gone to Pa gov to in quire iuto tbe nffiir. Le Paris calls it "another provo cation," atd if Bismarck is seek ing a casus belli. The Liberie says it is expedient to lefrain from comment until Germany shall have explained the occurrence Astonishing Success It is the duty of every person who ! has used lioschee's German Syruu to let its wouderful qualities be known to their friends in curing consump tion, severe coughs, croup, asthma, pneumonia and in fact ull throat and luug diseases. No person can use it without immediate relief. Three doses will relieve any case, and we consider it the duty of all Druggists to reccommend it to the poor, dying consumptive, at least to try a bottle, as 80,000 dozen bottles were sold last year and no case where it failed was reported. Such a medicine as the German Syrup cannot be two widely known. Ask your druggist about it. Sample bottles to try, sold at 10 cts Regular size, 75 cents.
