A despatch from Montreal says:—
Dennis Clifford, a carter living at 40
Aylmer street, was murdered about 2
o'clock on Sunday morning on the ver-

brother Daniel own considerable 010 -

their tenants was Mrs. O'Hare, who
kepi. a grocery at 1he1 corner all Ber-
thelet and Aylmer streets, Recently
Mrs. O'Hare fell beb,(n:1 in her rent
until she owed about ;pl00, On Sat-
urday Daniel Clifford put a seizure on
her goods, and this caused a great deal
of 111 -feeling, las she had been a ten-
ant for many years. The Cliffords sus-
pecting that en effort would be made
to remove some of the stock, kept
watch. About 2 o'clock en eiunday

TO KLONDIKE BY BALLOON.

3'i, Antoine Variola, of the French 0eo-
grapbirel Society, arrived on La Bre-
tagne en Monday with a balloon with
ivlii,+h ate intends to make the trip from
Juneau to the Klondike. T'iisrs are
abut a dozen persons in the party,
and they are at the Hotel Martin. Ar-
thur'I'ervagne, LL, D., is the secretary
of the exl,sdition, and is also corres-
pondent of the Figaro.
1\i. Variola, the head of the expedi-
tion, is a man of shout 45 years of
age. and a well-known engineer and in-
ventor in France. Ile invented anew
method to direct a balloon with the
aid of a rope and a steering sail, and
this method he has succeeded with in
two trips, the one from. Paris to The-
neait in the south or leranee, the oth-
er from Paris to Hamburg.
The balleen Is cylinder -shaped, has
a sail beneath it, and is equipped with
electric lights and a searchlight. The
expedition carries with it all the mo-
dern instruments of geographical and
topographical science. Carrier pigeons
will be employed to send book news
of the progress of the expedition.
The balloon will carry about '7,303
pounds. A feature of it is the '•auto-
testeur,” as its inventors, bf. Val'iole,
calls it. "Automatic ballasting ap-
paratus" is perhaps the proper trans-
lation. ft enables the aeronaut to di-
rect the balloon to a certain degree.
The members of the expedition are
stopping bore only until news comes
from Juneau that the apparatus is
ready for generating the hydrogen
with which the balloon til to be inflat-
ed. When that is ready the party wilt
go directly to Juneau,and if the wind
is favorable, the trip to the Klondike
will be male at once.
Photographs will be taken from the
balloon' en route. The cost of the ex-
poditien is borne partly by the French
Geographical Society and partly by
the members oC the party,

ken and Women in all Walks of Life Toll of the Remarkable
Cans Wrought by South American Nervine Tonic.
SIX DOSES WILL CONVINCE THE MOST li L1EDULOUDi
EDITOR COLWELL, OF PARIS, ONT„ REVIEW.
Newspaper edi}ors are almost as
sceptical as the average physician on
the subject of new remedies for sick
people. Nothing short of a series of
most remarkable and well authenti-
cated cures will incline either an
editor or a doctor to seriously oonsider
the merits honestly claimed for a
medicine.
Hundreds of testimonials of won-
derful recoveries wrought with the
Great South American Nervine Tonin
were received from men and women
all over the country before physicians
began to prescribe this great remedy
in chronic oases of dyspepsia, in-
digestion, nervous prostration, sick
headache, and as a tonic for build-
ing up systems sapped of vitality
through protracted spells of sick-
ness.
During his experience of nearly a
quarter of a century as a newspaper
publisher in Paris, Ont., Editor Col-
well, of The Paris Review, has pub.
fished hundreds of columns of paid
medicine advertisements, and, no
doubt, printed many a gracefully -
worded puff for his patrons as a
matter of business, but in only a
single instance, and that one warrant-
ed by his own personal experience,
has he given a testimonial over his
own signature. No other remedy
ever offered the public has proved
such a marvellous revelation to the
most sceptical as the South American
Nervine Tonto. Ib has never failed
in Its purpose, and it has cured when
doctors and other medieines were
tried in vain,
"I was prostrated with a partica-
lariy severe attack of 'Le. Grippe," 4.
says Mr. Colwell, " and could find net
relief from the intense pains and die;
tress of the malady. I suffered day
and night. The doctors did not hell)
me, and I tried a number of needle
cines, but without relief. About this
time I was advised to try the South
American Nervine Tonic. Itssffectli
were instantaneous, The first dose /
took relieved me. I improved rapidly
and grew stronger every day. You
Nervine Tonic) cured me in a single
week."
The South American Nervine
Tonic rebuilds the Hie forces by its
direct action on the nerves and the
nerve centres, and it is this notable
feature which distinguishes it from
every other remedy in existence. The
most eminent medical authorities nay,
concede that fully two-thirds of all the
physical ailments of humanity arise
from exhaustion of the nerve forces..
The South American Nervine Toni°
acting direct upon the nerve centres
and nerve tissues instantaneously
supplies them with the true nourish-
ment required, and that is why its,
invigorating effects upon the whole
system are alwaya felt immediately,
