Now that which had been shut off from my vision I felt must be restored to tee. In the financial center of the city I ' had heard rapiers of trouble on the Dart of a certain wealthy man who had. • been speculating, being a banker, the matter had come to -ray ears long be- fore its publication, slitee the bank In which. I was employed had made large leans to the speculator and was there- fore interested in his getting out of his 'eifticulty without a failure. His em- barrassment was kept as quiet as pos- gible. Nevertheless I learned that if be didn't pull through he would be prosecuted criminally. Meanwhile he was writing night and day to brine • about an adjustment. ' One evening wbile dining with the (ashler he told me that, while there was criminality in the case of this mat vrho owed us money, it was not he who had committed fniud, but a member of hls family, who had disa- , peered with sreurities that he was in- terested in keepiug out of the reach of i tite law.

Peruvian •Rubber ,Atrocities Are Cor- roborated by Consul, London, Jule lb. -The disclosures as to the state of affairs in the rub- ber industry' in Peru, published in the blue book juat issued for the For- eign Office, as the reselt of eir Roger Casement's investigations, attract • a great amount of attention and have oatmeal comparisons to be drawn be- tween these wholeaale atrocities and those at one time reported from the Congo Free State, The British con- sul -general at Rio Janeiro fully con- firms the charges brought against the native agents of the Peruvian-Aina- • zon Co., a British concern, formerly engaged in rubber collection in the Putuinayo district. The gruesome story was first pub- lished M the United States and was brought to the attention of the Brit- ish Foreign Office by the Washington State Department. ' Sir Roger Casements wes sent out to Peru e year ago, and .found over- whehning evidence of the murder and tortare of defenceless Indians. He discovered that kerosene had been poured over reen,,women and 'children who had been tied to stakes and Were then set on fire. The brainof chil- dren had been dashed put, the limbs of Indiana had been cut off or broken and they had been left to die. The tortures, also included the deliberate searvation of Many people. The Foreign Offiee says that after many months of futile attempts to get the Peraviim Government to take raessurea to prevent the recurrence of such horrors and to punish the goilty portions, it had decided with the cor- dial acquiescence of the United States Government that the only course to take waa to publish the fade in full. LIBERAL WINS. ThressCornered British Election Goes With Government. London. July' 15.--(C.A.P. Cable.) - The result of the Hanley bye -election, caused by the death of Enoch • Ed- wards, Laborite, resulted in the elec- tion of R. Louthwaite, Liberal, who secured 6,647 votes, while the Unionist candidate had 5,994 and Finney,- Lab- orite; 1,694. At the general election in Nehru- ber, 1910, there was a straight contest between the late Enoch Edwards, a Labor -candidate, and the Unionist representative. Mr. Edwards was re- turned by a majority of 3,695. After his recent death, the Liberals in the constituency insisted on run- ning their own candidate, R. Louth- waite, and a triangular contest ensued with the result as above. The Liberi ids thus had a majority of 654 over the Conservative and 4,950 over the Laboritee, , Curiously enough the combined Lib- eral and Labor vote is only two short of the Labor poll in 1910, while Um Conservative vote has increased by 1,335. The net reeult is a drop in the Liberal -Labor majority of 1,337, as compared with the general election figures. A NEW ELDORADO? Returning Prospectors Report Rich Finds Near Sudbury. Sudbury, Suly 15. -George Brnce and Joe Sherry are back from a pros- pecting trip into a new gold district around Roche Lake,,which lies some 12 miles to the northwest of Flying Post. a Iindeofg.Bay post, cat 'the • Greendhog Lake. Roche Lake is one of the big series that seem to conhect the east and, west 'branches of the Groundhog River. • It lies on a line due west of Larder, about 100 miles, about 20 miles south of the Nivin's Base Line, which forms the southern boundary of Tisdale, and 50 tulles west of Tisdale. To continue the location, it is 45 miles north of the Canadian Pacific, and will be crossed by the Canadian Northern. It is reached by canoe from Ridout, on the Canadian Pacific, by going down the west branch of the Ground. hog River, or the chain of lakes that go to form that river. But by reason of the winding way the distance is almost, double the one the bird would take in reaching the new camp. --"We staked ten claims for ourselves, Georee and I, and for Jack Hammel!, Benny Hollinger and Barney McEn- ary, and good °nee, too. Black and Dtintan brought Out a lot of samples, and I have beard- that these assay from $1 to $100 to the toe," said Joe Skerry. . "We were, possibly, the first on the ground.

In the meantime Harry Hefferon reached the clock and called to the, occupants of two near -by canoes to come to the reseue of his companion. These men heard but made no attempt at aid, treating the whole affair as if it we're a joke, A moment after Shear. an lost his holdion the slippery canoe and sank. .

Wilco*, Who Was In Charge of the Tower Which Control- • led Semaphores, Says Block Was All Right Faints After Acci- dent -Fire Breaks Out In the Wreckage -Robbed Beaks. Chicago, july I5. -Thirteen persons were killed and fifteen or twenty in - aired in a wreck on the Chieago, Burlington and Quincy Railway at Western Springs, a suburb of Chica- go, at 6,30 a.m. yesterday. Coming through a fog with suppos- edly a clear track ahead, train No. 8, a fast mail, ran at full speed into the rear of train No. 2, knovni as the Overland Express from Denver, which was standing still on the track, tele - seaming two of the Overland Pulreaan cars. Railroad officials refined to fix the blame until after the wreck had been , investigated thoroughly. Mrs. F. A. Wilcox, who was in charge of the tower frem which the block signals were controlled, said she was certain the black Ives thrown against both trains. She collapsed after the acci- dent and is still in a highly nervous oondition. All the dead, exeept Bronsou, were taken from the rear coach of the Den- ver train. The engine of No. 8 plowed through this car, halving it, and crushing out the lives of the helpless passengers, many of whom still were in their berths, On into the second coach the engine then sped. Half -way through that ear it veered to the left, derailing the engine. Fire, starting from the gas lights in the sleepers, then broke out. Many victims, pinioned down by heavy tim- bers and iron pleaded for death. Mem- bers of the fire brigades of Western Springs and La Grange were on the scene in a few minutes after the wreek occurred and they put out the blaze. Ghouls are believed to have robbed the dead before they reached the morgue in La Grange. More than a dozen large diamond sets are missing, and although most of the dead ap- peared to have been persons in com- fortable circumstances, Mrs. Wilcox asserts that she is not to blame as the blocks were set against the trains, but the signals were disregarded. , A statement issued by P. S. Eustis, passenger traffic manager of the Chi- cago, Burlington er Quincy Railroad last night substantiated Mrs. Wilcox's assertion that she was not to blame, and also corroborated the story that torpedoes were set by the erakernan of No. 2. The statement does not fix the blame for the accident. TELEGRAPHIC BRIEFS. Raspberries made their appearance on the St. Catharines market Satur- day morning, 7: The steardee G. J.

Herr, 111 Grange St. Stratford, Ont., writese--"Ten years ago I suffered tvith a very peculiar disease. I would go to bed feeling as well as could be, and after sleeping for five hems I would wake with a severe pain in my back, then moving into my side and breast. The pain was so terrible I could not lie in my bed, and usually had to sit until tnorning with a pillow propped up behind my back. With all my pain I would go to work, and after working up to about 10 o'clock the pain would leave nie entirely. The same thing would bap - pen the next night, and every night for two years. I tried four different doctors, but none of them did me any good. tried a great many patent medicines, but all of no avail. I gave up all hopes of ever getting well.

THE HORSEMAN. The care of a horse's feet in the stable is of the greatest impor- tance in preventing lameness. Wetting the hoofs with a sponge and clean water every day or simply dipping each foot into a pail of water will keep the feet from becoming dry. Water is much better than any hoof oil. Packing the feet is good, but if the water treatment is begun while the feet are in good condi- tion packing will never be nec- essary. Watch the blacksmith. Never allow the heels to be drawn in. The slabbering horse . may be in need of more grain, or it may be that its teeth need filing, In the purchase of a new horse always purchase, a mare. She will raise you some colts, tvhich will increase the farm profits. 1, 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 C, 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0. 0 you,are not already reading Tbe Clinton New Era it will be to your advantage to do so.
