Dreyfus I impassive, did not give the slight. of emotion, did not utter a word marched back to prison like an automs on. 1t is understood Dreyfus will be sent to | Fort Corte, in the island of Corsica. A large crowd, which the police kept moving. waited around the ‘square in which the telegraph office_and the prin- cipal cafes are situated. When the peo- le learned the court had been out an our it was argued that this meant a dis- agreemeut in favor of Dreyfus. The first indication to these watchers that a result had been reached was when a soldier on a bicyele came_tearing along as fast as he could from the Lycee toward the artil- lery barracks. The soldiers and gendarmes keeping the streets free sat up in their saddles and watched the bicyclist as long as he re- mained in sight. This orderly was dis- patched before the court returned, as an- | other five or ten minutes elapsed before | the army of reporters and messengers on | foot and on bicycles came in a wave up | the street, and the telegraph office was in | a pandemonium.. It was literally nacked with men and women, all struggling to Ward the two lttle windows where the | dispatches were flled. Meanwhile the news of the condemmation of Dreyfus had filtered out to the crowd, but it produced | no excitement. HOW THE NEWS WAS "RECEIVED BY PARISIANS PARIS, Sept. 9.—At b o’clock this evening every available cafe seat in the boulevards was occupied, and minor scuffles were frequent. 5 o’clock the Gaulois exhibited to an enormous crowd a placard on which | were the words “Vive I'Armee which indicated that the verdict was anti-Dreyfus. The announcement was greeted with a deep hum ot approval and joy. The Libre that im- | prisonment for lifs The editions were | absolutely torn from the hands of the vendors. It was almost impossible to hear opinions friendly to the prisoner. The masses were hostile to Dreyfus. ! Parole announced | But in private circles the verdict was condemned in strong terms. The anti-revisionists continued to is- sue editions suppressing the fact that| Dreyfus was condemned to only ten years' detention. In the presence of the extraordinary sentence it is believed the tribunal rec- ognized the prisoner’s innocence, but | w afraid of the generals and public | opinion, and that as Dreyfus has suf- fered five years’ cellular imprisonment, which in France counts for double, he will be immediately released. As this dispatch is sent the excite- ment was wearing away and the peo- ple were leaving the boulevards. For More Dreyfus See Page 15. ADVERTISEMENTS. it Has Happened More than once that a child has been carried off by an eagle. When such a thing does happen the press rings with the story. There’s not a line given by the press to the babies car- ried off daily by disease. It isn’t the fact of the child being taken away that is startling or interesting, it's only when the method of taking off is novel that it excites interest. How many children die who might have been saved if the mother who bore them kad been able to give them stren and vitality.

KILMER'S REMEDIES. DR. KILMER’'S SWAMP-ROOT Is Not Recommended 7€or Everything. if You Have Kidney or Bladder Trouble It Will Be Found Just the Remedy You Need. But Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, discourages and ambitio; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the Kidneys are out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so preva- lent that it is not uncommon for a child to be born afllicted with weak kid- ney: If the child urinates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, and it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, de- pend upon it, the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step lessens | should be toward the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to | a habit as most people suppose. | So we find that women as well as men are made miserable with kidney | and bladder trouble and both need the | same remedy. The mild and the im- mediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon | realized. It is sold by druggists, in fifty-cent and one dollar sizes. You may have a sample bottle by mail fr | also pamphlet telling all about ft, in- } cluding many of the thousands of tes | timonial letters received from sufferers cured.
