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

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
