Says t
To sum up the tesult of the cam-
paign: The Italians Judd, with nearly
twice as many mem half the ground
that they held three weeks ago. They
have lost in killed and wounded, not
setispunting the stick, well over 1,000 men.
hittny Arabs have been killed. and •vael,
numbers were shot in cold blood. Now
25,000 soldiers find themselves with
their backs to the sea, cramped, and con-
fined, with an active enemy within a
rew yards of them and with cholera ratO
tug among them. Despite official efforts
to vouceal the truth there have. been
many eases among dm troops, and the
civil population 1S suffering so ntueh
that whole streets in Tripoli have beee
dosed by armed sentries.
"There has been no disgrace. On the
Contraisysthe Haan troops fought with
great eorfrage and their officers set a
uoblosexample."

omit of October 20:
"Far from being a decisive victory,
the fight nearly ended in disaster and
would have if the enemy had had a few
thousand men at any point instead of
u few hundred, The Italian line was
broken in two placee by less than 300
rats, who had reached the cover of
the residential oasis, thus placing thetas
etatves between the town and. the tiring
of defence. The situation WAS sav-
e& only by a gallant charge of 100 dis-
mounted cavalry, who -lost heavily, but
managed to kill off a .majority of the
storming. party. •
"Thirty ..Arabs held out for three days
lathe oasis and eould not be dislodged
until the buildings were blown up. . If
they had been several thousand strong
indeed of two hundred the Arobs would
have bad .Tripoli completely at their
tnerey."
General Caueva, the commitnder of the
fordes, became so alarmed that
henhandoned all the outer works south -
feast of the city, including the strong
Turkish fort, Mesti. The whole army
worked feverishly, strengthening a new
position with barbed wire entangle-
ments, and were kept under aims dur-
ing the nights. Reinforcements from
Italy were despatched so hurriedly
that the l5th Italian Regiment arrived
in ordinary uniforms without their hel-
mets.
The Arabs have advanced their ar-
tillery and are shelling the Italians.

CANCER CURED
BY PRAYER
New York Clergyman on
Christian Science,
He Instances Cases of Cure
by Prayer,
Makes an Attack on the
"Doctor's Trust".
•
New York, Nov. 5.-- Somehow 'word
got around on Saturday night that the
Rev, Willard E, Otterson, of Bethany
Congregational Chinch, would preach on
Sunday on Christian Seteuce. It was
also reported that Mr. Otterson's wife,
or mime near relation,. had been cured
by Christian Seieuce and that the Con-
gregational minister would, shortly re-
sign his charge and join the mutts of
Mrs. Eddy's followers.
So wilco the services opened yesterday
morning in Bethany Congregational
Church there were a pew full -of report-
ers aud (mite a representation of Chriat-
ian Mende, faithful anti practioners.
"Death end disease," said the preach-
er, "would not be present except for sin.
All the evil in the world is the result of
sin aod as we believe that sin can bo.
destroyed it follows that dea•th will be
destroyed also.
"Our fathers um( to believe that we
sinned by necessity just as so many
nowbelieve that we are sick from no--
eessity. I believe that man will AS-
sume dominioe over disease for all
truth will come to its own despite op-
position. Man may be able to reject
disease, accident aud death,
"We believe that tiod cnn east ottt
sin, but we don't behove that He can
cast out disease. We .have become bond
slaves to drugs and it large part of the
money a workman brings home goes out
to druggists for medicines., os large part
of which is alcohol."
The minister then went ou to speak of
the cures of Christ and the early cluirds
There was as much need for them now
as then, he continued, and it seemed to
him that the •church of to -day had lost
its heali»g powers and it might be that
the new erss coming on would see them
restored, All truth, 1t aid, is not pos-
sessed by any one generation or
church.
Coming to CAMS by prayer, Mr, Otter -
son recalled lustamees in hisown ex-
perience. "A New York paetor". was
one who had been healed from a can-
ter by prayer and ti woman, "bedridden
from paralysis for tweets, years," had
been made well in a Few days. "My 8IS-
ter had a cancer ou her faee." he :stated.
"She .told me that she bad been to
famous- doctors and they explained to
her that there WAS no help. Then she
prayed and had members of her church
pray for her. The cancer was cured,
and that was fifteen years ago. I have
seen the slight sear on her face where
it was.
"When I hear men scoff at Christian
Science's -Mr. Otterson here mentioned
Christian Science by naine for the first
time in his discourse -"I do not laugh.
I wonder if God is not revealing some-
thing to them. Jesus said; e shall
know them by their works.'" • ,
Tho then went on to give be
sta
"A well known New York woman,
whose brother is very prominent," and
'who was cured of almost total blindness
by Christian Science, was one. A woman
given up to die by "eminent special-
ist" was cured of blood poison and an-
other cancer cure, where the patient had
been given up by "the most skilful
Presbyterians in New York."
"There is a movement on foot," con-
cluded thp preacher, "to force men to
use drugs and to make men practice
medicine .111 ouly one way. It is a bill
before Congress. We know it is a mon-
etemaking scheme and 'the best doctors
in the country are behind it. It is
fostered by the doctors' trust. You know
your fathers fought for liberty. Are
you 'going to be coerced by a body of
men trying to force something on you?
'Next Sunday Menke will be distributed
and L would like to have every man atul
woman in my congregation sign one and
send it to the tongressman from your
district asking hint to vote against the
measure if It comes up.".

Tuesday to go to Lefroy. While there
lie met a friend named Jack Barry,
and the two went together acroes the
lake to Roche's Poiut on business.
They returned about 6 o'clock the

boat. Getting his horee front' the
hotel barns, Barclay started out to
visit Thomas jitek, a friend living
on. the Oth coneeseien. He was last
seen About three.quarters of it mile
from Lefroy by three young ladies
driving in the opposite direction.
When a short distant* from the 5th

without him, It is sttppoe,ed the old

-died. The horse he had 'driven was
caught about two miles away, near his
own farm, and tied to a fence by Wm.
Goodfellow, a neighbor, who supposed
the old man was calling on some of
the neighbore. Consequently the
horse was compelled to spend the
night in the cold by the roadside.
As it was customary for the old man
to go away for a day- or two at a
time, visiting, friends, iris absence at'
