RHEUMATISM.

SOME REMARKABLE URE OF y or
TIE MOST STUBBORN AZ AGGRAyAT-
ING DISEASES THAT AFFLICT MANKIND.
a News reporter learning that Mrs.
n. M. Peters of East Des Moines, who
was long afflicted with rheumatism had
been completely cured, concluded to
call on the lady and get the facts direct
from her for the benefit of any of our
readers who may be similarly afflicted.
He found Mrs. Peters to be a very
pleasant lady of middle age, in good
health and doing her own house work.
On being questioned she said; II had
suffered with rheumatism the greater
part of the time for nearly seven years.
AT times | was almost helpless. | had
doctored a great deal for it with physi-
clans and tried electric belts and almost
everything that is recommended for
rheumatism, as no one will suffer with
it a. | did, withoutdoing all that can be
done to relieve it. Finally a ncighbOr
woman advised me to try Chamberlain's
Pain Balm and was so sure that it
would help me, that | procured a bottle.
1t did help me right from the start but
it took five 80 cent bottles to cure me,
SO you guess how bad | was, As one
or two bottles will cure any ordinary
case. 1t is II grand good medicine and
has done me a power Of good, and |
hope you will publish the facts in your
valuable paper, that everybody may
know it."
As the remedy referred to is of home
manufacture we concluded to call on
the proprietors, Messrs. Chamberlain
q Co. We find they conduct n Of
the largest and most successful proprie-
tary medicine laboratories in the west,
and that Chamberlain's Pain Balm is
fast becoming IA household necessity all
the way from the Gulf of Mexico to the
British Possessions and from Chicago
to the Pacific Ocean. They have hun
dreds Of testimonials from persons who
have been cured by it, not only Of rheu-
matism but neuralgia and other painful
Affections. From which we selected the
following: This is to certify that | was
very lame with rheumatism, my joints
were swelled badly, ! could with diff

physician to try a bottle of Chamber

Prof Rlotte's Faith.

One of the best friends the Black
Hills has in the east is Prof. Riotte. He
never fails to say q good word for us
when opportunity offers. On his recent
visit to New York City, Mr.. Van else
called on him at his laboratory, back Of
Trinity church, and reports him full o.
work, but cordial in his greeting and
ready for a social chat with a man from
Dakota's mineral regions. "How are
the Black Hills getting on :" he asked
cheerily. | think the outlook excel
lent" answered his visitor, that the
day of great prosperity for US is near at
hand" "Not a doubt oft in the world
responded Mr.. Riotte, there's enough
in your tin mines alone to assure that
| am satisfied that in u few years the
Black Hills tin will be known to the
world, and the tin industry in your
section employ more men than the gold
or silver mines. 1t is bound to come.
There is any quantity Of tin in the
Harvey district and at Niger Hill, and
there is no question but that it will
pay a handsome margin of profit over
the cost Of production. The tin monop-
ollsts of Europe are trying to injure you
all they can, but the truth will come
out, and your time will come. Tell my
friends in the Black Hills not to be dis
couraged-there is a great future ahead
for them, and not far of neither ~

From the edition of Geo. p. Rowell &
Co.'S american Newspaper Directory
published April I'd (its twentieth year.
it appers that the newspapers and peri.
odicals of all kinds issued in tie United
States and Canada, now number 1880
showing a gain of $50 during the last Il
months and of 1856 in 10 years. The
publishers of the Directory assert that
the impression that when the proprietor
OF a newspaper undertakes to state
what has been his exact circulation, he
does not generally tell the truth is an
one; and they conspicuously
offer a reward of 800 for every instance
in their book for this year, where it can
be shown that the detailed report re.
ceived from a publisher was untrue.

The Deadwood Dog.

A Deadwood Times reporter thus APP,
peals to the city council for the repeal
of the ordinance prohibiting the carry.
ing of concealed weapons in that city:
1t has come to that point that we have
TO choose n of four alternatives, kill Il
dog, leave town, keep in the house all
the time, or be eaten up by the dog.
we don't propose to leave town for any
less cause than being ordered out by the
vigilance committee; we get lonesome
and hungry staying in doors all the
tune we would rather eat a dog than
be eaten by him, and have concluded to
do so, but will first kill him and take
chances on tie law.

The work Of quarrying and shipping
stone at Fall River Falls is assuming
immense proportions. Messrs. Evans
& Donahoo give employment to large
force of men and teams and although
there is considerable expense attached
to the hauling of the stone some ten
miles by team and over three hundred
miles by rail, it is done at fair profit,
which Of itself is sufficient proof Of the
value of the stone for building purposes.
When the railroad is completed to the
quarries, which will no doubt be done
within very few months, the Fall
River Falls Stone company will supply
all the leading cities in Nebraska and
Iowa with this valuable building mater
ial. 1t is pronounced by leading con-
tractors and builders of Lincoln and
Omaha, equal to the best Connecticut
brown stone in point Of durability,
beauty and ease of working and the un-
limited demand for this quality Of stone
insures immense sales and handsome
profit.-Hot Springs Star

TRINIDAD, Aug 2S-what may
prove a long and bloody struggle
opened to-day on the Maxwell grant,
At S,onewall, 20 miles west OF Trinidad.
The sheriff and posse sent to keep the
peace was nset by armed settlers in
numbers estimated at Got to 500 men.
The settlers demanded the arms Of the
posse, which was refused.
The posse took up quarters in the
Pooler hotel. a large frame building.
The settlers endeavored TO force an en-
trance. when the posse opened fire.
II. d. Russell, one of the Oldest set
tiers, fell dead. and two or three other
settlers we're wounded. The building
was soon riddlei with balls.
An eyewitness who gave this infor-
nation left while the conflict was still
going on. The citizens are greatly ex-
cited. The sheriff is gathering men
in numbers to 80 TO the relief of the be-
sieged posse. liz Is believed the barn
will he burned and that the dozen be 5.
sieeed deputies will be put to death
before morning.
The settlers come from the tribu-
taries Of the Purgatoire river. from
Nermijo, " NJ. and also from the
Castillo grant. In those mountain
businesses il seems useless TO oppose
them With eitSer militia or regular
troops.
Public sentiment in Trinidad is en-
lirely with the settlers. Another

The settlers cavalry i composed of
both Americans and Mexicans. The
Mexicans are painted as if for war.
