Neuralgia OF the Face.

= Capt. John Orr, Pennington, Miss, has
been most intense sufferer from facial
neuralgia for over twenty years. He has
had seventeen operations performed on
the nerves--that is, had them divided, cut
off close to the bone from which they
emerge. But this never did him any good,
the most excruciating pain continued
without the least interruptions He often
wished for death TO relieve him of the in
solerable pain. The sS.s physicians failed
70 relieve him. They finally advised hin,
10 consult Drs. Hartman Il Miller, at the
St. Charles Hotel, New Orleans. whicl.
he did. They prescribed PERUNA, AMI
in less than a month was entirely relieved
Of the pain. Before consulting these doc
tors the least touch to any part of his faces
or nose would cause the most fearful pain.
while now he can blow his nose and wip.
his face without the least fear of pain.
The captain is grateful beyond measure
for this unexpected and unhoped for result.
2Mrs. Elizabeth Kenner ,oS Laurel street,
New Orleans, has been one of the great
est sufferers from Neuralgia of the face
during the past year that we have ever
heard OF. From morning to night and
from night to morning, there was one
constant, racking, tearing, burning pain,
extending clear around her head and deep
down through every muscle, tooth and
bone in her face. No rest and no sleep.
All physicians failed to relieve her, as
we'll as all remedies. She was constantly
in the most agonizing despair. She called
on DR.. Hartman, who said the cause was
chronic catarrh. He prescribed PERUNA
for her and now every pain has left her,
She feels like another person and can eat
heartily and sleep soundiy.

Special Announcement,

I'VE take pleasure in announcing
that we have made arrangement with
the publisher of the Chicago Weekly
News, which enable us to club that
paper with the CoNcoRDIA EAGLE
at the very low price of Two Doll
LARS per year for the two. This Is
beyond question the first time that a
metropolitan weekly has been bro't
within the reach Of subscribers at so
small an additional price,
For this comparatively small
amount our readers can place them
selves in command of the whole stu
alton. All events of interest, local,
national and foreign, will he present
ed completely and promptly by one
or the other Of these publications.
The single feature Of full and trust
worthy Chicago market quotations
will be worth. to many of our read
ers, more than the additional amount
involved in the clubbing arrange
ment. To those who'are not familiar
with the character of the Chicago
News, we would say tits the best rep
resentative of independent journal
ism in the west.
The Weekly News is large eight
page, sixty-four column paper, "cram
full" of Geographic and general news,
short and pithy editorials on the top
les of the day, written in q familiar
yet incisive style. and in all its de-
partments evidently aims TO give
facts in few words, without the YER
bic e. and fine writing which render
so many If the large metropolitan
Journals n "weariness 10 the flesh."
Facts, not words, appear to be its
motto.
We trust that all our readers will
avail themselves of this unusual OPP
portunitv Of securing Chicago week
" at so trifling cost.
Specimen copies of the Chicago
Weekly News may be seen at this
office.

The River Problem.
CONGRESSMAN Breckenridge on the Right
treatment OF the Mississippi.

Washing ton. Dec. 7.-Representa-
tive Breckenridge, of Arkansas, has
lust returned from his Southern tour
I, the course of which he visited Gal
vsston. the Mississippi jetties and
the Atehafalaya. Being interviewed
tonight by tho Times-Democrat cor
respondent, he said, 10 effect, that
tho Atchafalaya is the key to the
Mississippi problem, and. that accor-
dinghy as this is treated so will all eff
forts to solve that problem succeed or
fail. In his opinion matters have
gone too far TO justify an attempt to
close the head OF the Atehafalaya. 1t
would be too expensive and too DIM
cult, lie recommends the closure of
lower Old river, east and west of the
head, thus forcing the Red river into
the Mississippi by way of upper Old
river.
Observation and study OF the Mis-
sissippi extending over fifteen years
persuade Mr.. Breckenridge that the
right treatment is that first recon-
mended by the Commission. 1t In
volved the true philosophy. The ex-
periments qave been numerous, and
the rule, without exception, has been
that adherence to the plan was fol-
lowed by success, and departure from
& followed by failure.
He maintains, and will demon
strate In committee, that concentra-
ton OF the current has Invariably
lowered the food level, whereas dis
tribution has an, Invariably raised it..
Ample illustration is TO be found
within the past three years,
I'm 1888, when the levees gave way
ali along the line. we had the most
disastrous floods ever known. In
1858, when the levees held, although
there was moro water passing down,
as shown by the measurements and
gauges at Memphis and Cairo, there
was nov OnlJ ~ N''h "NS~''No
of inundstion, but the food level at
Vicksburg was lowered FIVE Ieet."
Mr.. Breckenridge points 10 the fact
that ten years ago the channel Of the
Mississippi below Red river was AL
ways thirty to fifty feet, while now,
OWN TO the enlargement of the At
chafalaya and escape Of large vol
umes of water through Morganza,
the river has shoaled TO such an eX-
tent that large boats like the White
are compelled te slow down and take
soundins.
Mr.. Breckenridge is fully convinced
that outlets shoal the river and in
crease foods, while concen tration of
of the current levers the flood level
and prevents inundation. In his
statement before the committee he
will demonstrate this proposition
