That ST. Jacobs Oil will cure Rheuma-
tism, I am convinced. For two years /
suffered with Rheumatism in my left-shoul
der and right arm. and last fall 4 was inca
pable-of attending to my duties, and lay
many night unable to sleep ON account
of terrible pains. A few weeks ago severe
attack of this trouble struck me, and this
time concluded to try the st. Jacobs Oil,
/ must acknowledge with but little conf
dence in its merits: freely confess that
the result has completely astonished me-
The first application relieved the pain very
materially, and the continued use of only
two bottles has completely cured me of
this chronic evil, and that after the most
eminent physicians and their prescriptions
had been of no avail. therefore consider
il a duty to publish the above for the BEN
eft of all sufferers with rheumatism and
kindred complaints.

C. III. RITTER, Chairman
The Committee on Attachments submit
ted the following report, which on motion
was received and adopted.
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen of Tie
Board of Supervisors:
Your committee on attachments would
report as follows on the matters before
them TN the matter of the petition of
c. H. Stoddard for a refund of five dollars
and fifty -four cents. Your committee find
that the said S. 81 was part of judgment
against said lot % in section g. tp. II n,
1, w, for taxes for the year $780, and
ought to have been paid by the person re-
deeming the same and it now remains in
the opinion of your committee; good lien
against said real estate, and your commit
tee are of the opinion that the proper
course for Mr., Stoddard is to take out a
tax deed for the same, the prayer of the
petitioner is therefore refused"
In the matter of the petition of w. L.
Ceyne, the committee are of the opinion,
from the evidence presented to them, that
the item of two thousand dollars, moneys
and credits, was assessed in error. and
therefore recommend that an abatement of
two thousand dollars be made on his per
sonal assessment.
In the matter of the petition of Louis T.
Haner and William Lound, for an abate-
ment on the assessed valuation of lots 1
and 2 in w / of the of sec. II in
township II, n, 1, W, containing 90 acres
each, your committee find that said lands
are unimproved, and that similar lands ly-
ing adjacent, are assessed at S14 per acre,
and that said lands were enormously mark
ed as improved. Your committee recon-
mend that the assessment of said lands be
reduced to $15 per acre, making an abate-
ment of 1882 in each tract.
All of which is respectfully SUI omitted.

FIRES.

Until the recent rain the different raj
road companies have suffered severely
from the loss entai1ed by the burning OF
fences and crops along their roadbeds.
The dry condition of the grass and other
substances contiguous to the track has
rendered the starting of fires from sparks
emitted by passing locomotives daily oc-
currence.
When once the fire had commenced it
spread with wonderful rapidity, and soon
communicated itself to the adjacent fields.
1t is stated that the railroads have paid out
more money the present dry season for
losses of this character than has been paid
for the past nine years altogether. This
state of affairs exists all over the country.

THE HrILwAaNER MURDER.

The murder at Hampton of Dora He'll
wagner continues to be theme of interest.
and some new developments have been
brought out to-day that may impIicate
some other parties than Heilwagner. 1t ia
now known that the prisoner had a pistol
and that ne gave it to his son at Dayen-
port the morning after the murder. One
chamber of the pistol is empty and the bull
let taken from the door of the shanty
where the murdered woman lived, fits the
theory that the pistol wound said to be in
the woman's head was made by a bullet
from the weapon now in the possession of
Sheriff Ankrum and belonging to the pris-
oner. In the meantime there is confusion
of ideas as TO the real nature of the injuries
and it has been decided to exhume the
remains of the murdered woman and make
an autopsy to establish the true nature of
the wounds.
DR.. Vincent, of Hampton, says he can
testify that Dora Heilwagner came to her
death from wound in her head made by a
blunt instrument, although he has made no
autopsy. No one however, seems to know
to certainty whether she was wounded
over the eye by a bullet OF
struck with a sharp instrument,
and it is to establish this important point
that the post mortem will be held. There
is well settled conviction, among many
who live in the vicinity of the scene OF the
murder, that Heilwagner had help, apd sus-
picion points to party who has thus far
not figured as guilty, and whose name is
withheld for the present. 1t is now thought
Heilwagner was at the house and acting
badly when some one tried to get him home,
but afterwards gave it up, and that subse-
quent to this he committed the murder with
the aid of the party now under suspicion.
1t is also well to state that this party is be-
ing watched and viii not be allowed to es-
cape until the case is cleared up. The ev-
idence thus far, is strong against the pris
onnr but fears are entertained that unless
the grand jury is convened now, and the
case brought before the present term of the
circuit court, some of the witnesses may be
missing, when the January term arrives.
For this reason it is urged that the grand
jury should assemble at once, act on the
case, and the prisoner be tried while the
incidents are fresh There viii doubtless
be new developments in few days.
