She said her mother could tell him all about the Guiteau family. The reporter then asked her where her mother was and she told him that she lived in California The reporter was too busy to follow up the affair any further, to say nothing of the cost of the passage to California. and besides the mother might not have heard of the assassination either, and 1t looked altogether too discouragins.

A Railroad omcIal Interviewed.

Not every one so cheerfully communi- cates his knowledge and opinions as recently did E, l.. Loweree, Esq, cashier of the Cincinnati Southern Railway, that splendid outlet to the South from the Ohio. Our representative waited upon Mir. Loweree, and in reply to certain questions the latter gentleman observed: ''I was suffering from very severe at tack of rheumatism in my right foot; it was in terrible conditions the pain was almost intolerable; our family physician waited on me without success; I sent for another we'll known M. D., but even the twain could do nothing for me; could not get down here to the office to attend to my duties; in fact l could not put my foot under me at all, and after nine weeks suffering l began to grow desper- ate. My friend (whom, of course, you know, for he is known by everybody, MT. Stacey Hill, of the Mount Auburn Inclined Plane Railroad O., called to see me; he spoke very highly ofSt. Jacobs Oil, and recommended the remedy to me in glowing terms. laughed at the idea of using a proprietary medicine, and yet the party recommending it, MT. Stacey Hill, remember), being q man of sound judgment, set me to thinking the matter over. The next day, whenthe physicians called, 1 dismissed them and said to my self that I would let nature take it's course. That resolution lasted just day. On the following morning I, in a fit or desperation, sent servant for bottle of St. Jacobs Oil. applied that wonder ful remedy, aud it penetrated me so that I thought my foot was about to fall off, but it did not; in fact it did just the opposite. The next morning the pain had entirely left my foot, the swelling was reduced, and really the appearance was so different altogether from the day before, that 1t actually surprised me. l applied more of the St Jacobs Oil, and that afternoon l walked down here to the office, and was able to attend to my duties and get around as well as any one Let me say for St. Jacobs Oil that d beats railroad tin,e and is always sure to win.- 1 Cincinnati Enquirer.
