How to Cure Rheumatism.

Maj. B. S. White, of GAINESVILLE,
Maryland, had suffered from rheuma-
tism in the right shoulder for sixteen
years. The disease was complicated
with indigestion and dyspepsia. He
consulted several physicians and used
various patent medicines without
permanent relief. Relatives finally
persuaded him to try a course of S. S.
S. As to the result he writes as fol-
lows: "After using six large bottles
! was entirely well. The medicine
got at the root Of the disease and
eradicated it. With the disappear
ance of the rheumatism also went the
indigestion and dyspepsia. l have
gladly recommended your S. S. S. to
my neighbors and countrymen, be-
cause | am convinced of its efficacy,
it having cured me in spite of all my
prejudice"
Rev. r. M. Pickens, the venerable
President of the Methodist Protestant
Church of South Carolina, some years
ago was attacked by neuralgia rheu-
matism, accompanied by erysipelas.
He suffered great pain. His appe-
tite failed him and his heart became
affected. The erysipelas broke out
on his left arm and hand. He used
a great many kinds of medicine, out
nothing gave relief. Finally he was
persuaded to try the Swift Specific.
In letter written from Greenville,
President Pickens says: 81 noticed
a decided improvement while taking
the first bottle. l continued its use
until I had taken about one dozen
bottles, when / found myself well
and sound again, with no sign of dis.
ease left except a stiffness in my
hand, a result of the erysipelas
While taking the medicine l gained
on an average two pounds of flesh pei
week. / think S. S. S. a valuable
medicine, and l frequently recon-
mend it to my friends"

There is very general impression
that President Cleveland is a fat man,
says correspondent: "As a matter
of fact he is not fat, although he is
stout. His flesh is remarkably firm
and his muscles are remarkably
strong, while his bones are large and
well knit. The result is that he car
ries himself with more ease, grace and
dignity than most men of half his
size, and suffers very little of that in
convenience over which fat men as
large as he is are constantly groan-
ing"

stored.

SANTA FE, N. NJ, JAM. 23-Thc supreme
court Of New Mexico, today, in the case of the
United States VS.. the San Pedro and Canon
del Aqua grants, reversed the decision rem
dcred in the court below three years agc. The
court held tibet the Canon del Aqua springs
marked the east boundary Of the land as de.
fined in the original Mexican grant. and that
all the valuable mining land lying cast of
these springs and now claimed by the CON-
pany was procured by fraud aud illegally
held by them. The court further held that
there was nothing in the grant which went to
show that congress intended to decd away
from the original claimants all the valuable
gold and silver mines upon 1t, the grant be-
ing simply made for agricultural purposes.
The property involved amounts to over
and will be appealed to the supreme
court. This decision, IL sustained by the
supreme court, secures to the people the right
to all precious mineral contained within the
public domain, and will especially open upthe
tight to mine these metals in the large grants
in the territory, and held by the claimants to
the exclusion of legitimate prospectors. This
will secure to New Mexico q large influx Of
mining people, and thereby add greatly to the
development Of the territory. The property

completely in the murder of Mrs. Graham
are attracting general interest and the

go to New York and enter n training
school with the intention of becoming a

states have been ransacked for evidence
regarding the good character of the ac-

CHICAGO, Jan. 25.-It transpircd during the
recent meeting of general freight agents Of
the western and northwestern freight bureau
held in this city that the Chicago, st. Paul,
Minneapolis & Omaha Chicago s. North
westerly intends to reduce rates from st. Pau
to points west aud southwest Of that city on
account OF the reduction In rates made from
Chicago to Sioux City, Yankton, Mitchell,
Pipcstonc, and other points. The managers
of the Omaha say that the reduction In rates
to these points from Chicago places the st.
Paul and Minneapolis jobbcrs ut a great dis
advantage and prevents them from competing
with Chicago. They say they can no longer
ignore the complaints Of the st. Paul and
Minneapolis people regarding this discrimtna-
tion. If the proposed reduction is made, It
willlcad, it is claimed, to a general reduction
to and from all northwestern points, and may
cause a further reduction from Chicago to
points In the northwest.

OF RATES
The Omaha Road Will Make re-
duccd Rates After February LIST.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2G.-Thc Omaha road
has decided To reduce rates about 20 per
per cent. taking effect February 1, from
St. Paul to all points OF its line between
st. Paul and Omaha. This has been
forced on the Omaha road by the lower
ing of rates OH all the Iowa lines.
Through rates had to be reduced in order
to hold u portion of that business and this
nccessitated a general pulling down in To-
cal rates. 1t is expected now that as the
Omaha has set the example in the north
west that other roads between st. Paul
and the northern Missouri points as far as
Bismarck will have to be scaled down. A
meeting of those managers of roads who
were of the old Western States Passenger
association was held today. The object
was to establish the association ON q new
basis.
A lively row was developed. Nearly all
of the western roads We're represented.
The most notable absentees being the Wa
bash and the Alton. AS soon as the
meeting wat called to order the Burling-
ton and the Hannibal and st. Joseph
roads gave notice that they would at once
withdraw from the MSS oc' alton and re-
main out until the Alton. and Wabash
roads came in. This blocked all progress
and nothing could be done. A committee
consisting Of Messrs. Hughitt and Able
was appointed to confer with the man
sgers of-the Wabash end the Alton, and
try to induce them to join the association.
The committee will report at some future
meeting.
