SOME REMARKABLE CURES or = or
THE MOST STUBBORN AN AGGRAFAT-
ING THAT ATFLICT MANKIND.
ANEws reporter learning that Mrs.
n. NJ. Peters of East Des MOineS, VINO
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 II
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 w 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 as ! did, without doing all that can be
done to relieve it. Finally IA ncighbOr
woman advised me to try Chamberlalu's
Pain Balm and was SO sure thai 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 SOu Il guess how bad | was, "a one
or two bottles will cure any ordinary
case. 1t is "a grand good medicine and
has done me a power Of good, and L
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 one OF
| the largest and most successful proprie-
tary medicine laboratories in the west,
and that Chamberlain's Pain Balm is
fast becoming a 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-
matlsm 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 dill
Guilty turn in bed, | was induced by my
physician to try IA bottle of Chamber
1ain's Pain Balm, and am now able TO

Deadwood is IN akipg an effort to Sc
cure the territorial conventions in that
place. Their earnestness is indicated in
the following from the Times: mayor
Star received by last evenings mail
reply to his letter to Marvin Hughitt OF
the Northwestern, relative to reduced
rates to delegates to the territorial re-
publican convention, provided the con-
vention is held at Deadwood. 1t quotes
a low rate and suggests a possibility
that Passenger Agent Buchanan, to
whom the matter is referred, will do still
better. Mr.. Star has written to Mr..
Buchanan who, in all probability will
grant the rate asked for-one cent a
mile. Mr.. Star is entirely non-partisan
in this matter, in that he asks for like
courtesy to democratic delegates pro
yided their convention is also held in
Deadwood. If as much interest was
manifested in this to Deadwood impor-
tant matter, by others as is displayed by
our indefatigable mayor, no question of
securing one or both conventions would

A practical illustration of what may
be done from a small beginning in the
stock business il shown in the case OF
County Assessor Stotts' son, Charley
who, by the way, is not yet of age.
Eight years ago Charley bought a mare
for $25, and he now has a bunch OF
t%wenty-four head of horses, including
the original mare. All of this increase
is directly traced to the one mare pur-
chased eight years ago, as none have
been added since by purchase or other
wise. The care Of the band has not cost
anything, rs they run upon the open
range. The lot is worth perhaps $4,000,

been busy talking with our Indians
about having the reservation surveyed

will have theirs put on the list. Then

A College for BARRIERS.

There is prospect of the establish
ment in this city of a BARRIERS college,
modelled after the famous Ecole des
Coiffeurs in Paris. The professors in
the Paris school are experts in the fine
art which they teach, and the pupils
are trained to feats of skill and to the
production of works of taste and
beauty worthy of the court of Louis
XIV. The chief study, of course, is in
Embarrassing, especially ladies' hair
dressing for snowy occasions, and here
it is that the professors rise to the
heights that pierce the clouds. How
the hair shall be dressed for various
occasions, or in different seasons, or
with special costumes; how the style
of dressing shall be adapted to the con-
tour of the face and head; how CLASH
cism may be revived, atavism modern
lied, and romantic or revolutionary
fashions encouraged-these are among
the lofty questions which are illus
trated by the professors of the Ecole
des Coiffeurs. Every year there is a
concours, or competition, of the rival
students, in which diplomas are given
and prize medals awarded. The
medals are of three grades-the
bronze medal, the. silver medal, and
the grand gold medal. After the con-
cours a grand ball is given, at which
professors, pupils, and other coiffeurs
display their skill in the saltatory art.

Facts About Butter.

A Washington market dealer, who
knows whereof he speaks, said to re-
porter: 1.-The annual product of but
ter in the United States is not less than
1000, 100000 pounds per annum. 1t
is generally admitted that one-half of
the butter produced is artificially
colered. II this be so, and if natural
high-co1ored butter is valued at five
cents more per pound than the un-
colored article, it follows that the pub
lie pay no less than S25. 900, 900 per
annum for an artificial color, believing
it in most cases to be natural color
and an indication of superior quality,
for which they receive no equivalent.
1t is also true that If one pound of
color, which consists of annatto color,
dissolved in cotton-seed oil, is required
for /, 200 pounds of butter, there must
be not less than half million pounds of
spurious butter added to the product
of the country in the shape of cotton
seed oil. IN. r Hail and Express.

CALCuTTA'S JACKALS.
They FIJI q Special Place in the Sanitary
Economy of the City of Palaces.

They FIJI Special Place in the Sanitary
Economy of the City of Palaces.
Kind friends had warned US, Mr..
Bamford writes in ''Turbans and
Tails" ere we retired to sleep the first
night in Calcutta not to suppose that
there was any thing the matter if we
should hear the cry of the jackals.
But for that warning / do not know
what our feelings would have been
when, awakened from our sleep by
them, we heard a pack pass close to
the house. 1t seemed to US as though
the conscience of the whole city had
unbarred the portals of hell and put a
trumpet in the hand of every liberated
fiend. I had presumptuously imagined
that familiarity with the concerts of
London cats would enable me to sleep
through the jackals efforts. But,
though the cat has undeniable
power, he can never hope to reach
the top notes of the jack
al. This latter, indeed, lacks the con-
versational variety of the more do
nestle animal. He confines himself
mainly to one tune, which begins in a
semi-apologetic low note, then ascends
a little, still with suspicion of apollo
gy and explanation that he did not
mean to make quite so much noise but
could not help it; and then the food
gates are open, and, seeming to say that
he does not care, he yells with ecstatic
abandon. Terrible as a wandering
voice. of the night, the jackal appears
a poor creature should he be come
upon in his own proper person by day.
True, his teeth are to be respected, but
that is because, like all carrion feed
ers, his bite is more OR less poisonous.
He is himself a sneaking coward, USE
full, however, beyond description. No
system of drainage will enable Cal
cutta to dispense with its natural scav-
engers, and of these the jackal is
among the most efficient. Peering
into dark corners, and with a nose
keen to scent out what has escaped
even the crows bright eye, little as
that seems to miss, he fills a special
place in the sanitary economy of the
city of palaces.
