As the season advances it becomes more
and more apparent that the cotton crop OF
Concordia is disastrously short. 1t was the
hope of the planter, until recently, that the
development of the top crop. aided by the
favorable weather that has prevailed of late
would in great measure compensate fol-
the losses sustained by the unfavorable
season, but it now appears that the OUTPUT
from that source will be but tritiing. AL
together the season has been most un
propitious one for our merchants AND
planters.-Sentinal.

A Great Mistake

has heretofore been made in the treatment of rheumatism, neuralgia and nervous or sick headache. This is evidenced by the failure on the part of thousands of sufferers to find relief, even though they have exhausted the skill of various physicians and tried numer- ous so-called remedies. To such Athlophor- os is offered safe, sure, and quick cure. It's success has been phenomenal, and yet it is not surprising because it will do all that is claimed for it. The Athlophoros Go. will gladly refer any who desire to make an in- vestigation to reliable parties who have been cured by it.
 69 Ruggles St., Providence, R. l.
 There is no use of talking or complaining of having rheumatism. Just buy bottle or two of Athlophoros and you won't know what rheumatism is after you take them. I was down with that disease fourteen weeks, had the doctor attending me, I was helpless and suffered much pain; well, I was so low it was necessary to have two men to assist and move me in bed. I then, on the advice of friend who had tried it, commenced us- ing Athlophoros. Two hours after using it, why could use my limbs around. The i'm provement was so marked and quick we all had good laugh, so you may know there was a change; Well kept on taking the medicine till used nearly three bottles. Yes sir, that stuff is the best thing in the coun- try for the cure of rheumatism. like it and could keep on taking it until the "cows come home" VIM. N. BROWN.
 Three doses of Athlophoros relieved me from a very acute attack of inhammatoIy rheumatism in nine hours. Iconsider it an invaluable remedy for rheumatic affections, and esteem it a pleasure to recommend Ath- lophoros. HENRY L. HALL,
 Editor Journal, Willimantic, Conn.
 Every druggist should keep Athlophoros and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can not be bought of the druggist the Athlophor- os Co.,, 112 Wall st., New York, will send either (carriage paid) on receipt of regular price which is S1 per bottle for Athlophoros and 50c. for Pills.
 For liver and kidney diseases, dyspepsia, indiges- tion, weakness nervous debility, diseases of wo- men, constpation, headache, impure blood, &c., Athlophoros Pills are unequalled.

The kind d-hearted sergeant interested himself in the matter and sent Mary to some Sisters of Charity at Ninth street and Sec ond avenue, but she neither went there nor returned to him in spite of his promise to furnish her other aid Many citizens have sent contributions to the newspapers for the young woman and have offered to give her employ but ss she cannot be found the editors are unable to make the proffered help effective.

Sculptor Gerhardt's bronze statue of Ma than Hale will be finished in April and un- yelled in June. The casting is to be done at Chicopee. The statue will weigh about 500 pounds, and be eight feet high from the pe- destsl. The pedestal will be of polished Ausable marble, whose dark shade of green is just adaptation of color to that of the figure.
 It seems to be generally desired by the members of the commission that the Hale statue shall be unveiled to the public in it's place in the Capitol on the 9th of June, the birthday of Nathan Hale.

Caused by Overwork and Want of nest Hut Nothing Serious the Mat ter.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-President Cleve- land has been suffering from an attack of rheumatism in his right knee since Friday and was therefore compelled to forego the pleasure of Christmas dinner at Oak View. Mrs. Folsom's guests on that occasion were Marshal Wilson, wife and daughter, and Mrs. Cleveland's cousin, Miss Hudleston. The President is suffering from return of the rheumatic attack of several weeks ago and from which he did not entirely recover. He is somewhat easier. He remains in bed, although he occasionally sits up. The Presi- dent is very desirous that the public shall not be misinformed of his trouble and in- structed his physician, Dr. O'Reiry, to an- swer all inquiries by stating just how he is. Dr. O'Reilly says that the President is inn proving and could, he thought, be about to- morrow, but he advised him to keep very quiet for 8 few days. He attributes the re- currence of the trouble to the Presidents to remain quiet long as s he rs should SIa when he was !dk sick be,
 
 see no visitors until perhaps Thursday. He is satisfied that there is no public busi- ness of importance demanding his attention as there was when he was suffering before and this enables him to give himself up en- tirely to rest. His other attack came upon him before his message was completed and he continued to work when he should have remained quietly in his room. The present 1 attack is not so ba6 as the former one and | the pain is considerably less.

A Music Students EseckIess Act.

CINCINNATI, Dec. 27.-A most dastardly piece of recklessness was this morning per petrated by young man named Andrews, aged twenty-two, student at the College of Music, rooming at No. 219 Mound street, just back of St. Edwards church. Father Doyle was holding services at 9:30 a.. m., a large congregation being present. At this hour Andrews stood in his rear window look ing west and deliberately fired three shots from thirty eight calibre revolver through the elegant stained glass windows on the east of the church. Inside the church all was confusion as the shots and crash of glass reached the ears of the congregation. One bullet whizzed past Father Doyle's head as he stood at the altar and buried itself in the altar behind him. Another bullet passed through lady's hat, while the third lodged in the wall. Andrews is from Philadelphia and is said to have skipped out, as the police are unable to find him. He has been here for three months.
