RHEUMATISM

SOME REMARKABLE CURES OF ONE OF
THE MOST STUBBORN AND AGGRAvAT.
ING DISEASES THAT AFFLICT MANKIND.
A NEWS reporter learning that Mrs.
N. NJ. 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 dhoct
from her for the benefit of any OF our
readers who may be similarly afflicted.
He found Mrs. Peters to be 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
aoctored great deal for it with physi.
slams 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 neighbor
woman advised me to try Chamberlain.s
Pain Balm and was so sure that 1t
1t did help me right from the start but

so you can guess how bad was, as one
or two bottles will cure any ordinary
case. 1t is grand good medicine and
has done me 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
& 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 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

The Melbourne international Exhibition,

Australia celebrates the centenary
of her settlement by grand Interna-
tional Exhibition at Melbourne, COM
mencing August 1st next, and contin-
uing for six months. Congress has ap-
propriated commits sioners to repre-
sent the United States, and it is
hoped that very many private firms
will make exhibits. The govern
ment of Victoria controls the exh;bi.
ton and gives space and steam for
motive power free. The exhibition
building and annexes will cover
twenty-four acres Of ground, and the
display, both local and from foreign
countries, will be the largest ever
seen in tho southern hemisphere.
Goods for exhibition are admitted
duty free. Australia is rich and
growing country. American goods
sell well there, and the comparative
nearness of Australia to America
should inspire our business men to
control her markets. Mr.. John N.
Ives, who for the past three years
has been in the antipodes as mapar
ger for the well known Safe Cure
House Of Fl. H. Warner Il Co., has
Just returned with letters from the
chief secretary and commissioners;
also blank applications for space,
which he will be pleased to send free
on application to him at Rochester,
N. Y. Applications should be made
at once, as goods must be in position
not later that July first next.

Another Good Man Gone.

The Arizona Howler chronicles the
departure OF good man. "Tears are

His taking away by death, the ruth

well by bar keepers as by our bustling
town, which is now experiencing q
boom such as it has never experien-

and the money arrives in time. Tht
Governor, in announcing the fact tt
the newspaper correspondents thii
evening, said:
II laid awake last night cogitatinG
the subject, and dreamed over it, an6
this morning concluded that If Texas

sion, which would not meet till Jan
uary, and probably not make its ap
preparations till the end of two OF
three months session. Should I call
an extra session, will designate the
following special subjects for legisla'
ton: l. To determine what DISPOSE
ton shall be made Of the treasury
surplus, including the question Of
paying the school teachers, reduction
of taxes and other dispositions OF the
fund; 2. To provide for inspecting,
receiving and furnishing the new
Capitol building; 3. To make such
changes in the tax laws and school
laws as may BIZ deemed advisable
Such subjects are connected as nee.
essarily to involve in each other; A.
To consider such action as may be
necessary with respect to the boun.
Diary line of that portion of the State
as embraces Greer County, and make
necessary provisions in the contin-
gency of the bill by Congress on the
subject"
Some other matters of minor i'm
portancs may be embraced in the
Governors proclamation, which be
proposes to issue in time to convene
the session April I6, and get through
inspecting, receiving and furnishing
the new capitol in advance of the in
terstate drill and proposed dedication
of the building in May, and so it may
be then opened fully furnished to the
public. In his message to the Leg

the school system.
The election OF successor to
United States Senator Coke may re-
suit as an incident of the session.
The Governor will, among other
things, probably advise the payment
of $86, 900 due the State University,
as matter of justice, to relieve the
institution from embarrassment in it's
finances.

THE WORTH OF HOURS.
pY Lonp nouonros.


nY Lonp nououroS,
Believe not that your inner eye
Can In lust measure ever try
The worth of hours as they 60 by.
For every mans weak self, alas!
Makes him to see them, while they pass,
As through o dim or tinted glass.
But II In earnest care you would
Mete out TO each Its part OF good.
Trust rather to your after-mood.
Those surely are not fairly spent,
That leave your spirit bowed and bent
In sad unrest and illcontent.
And more, though FREQ from seeming
harm,
You rest from toll Of mind or arm,
Or slow retire from pleasures CHARM
II then painful sense comes on
or something wholly lost and gone,
vainiy enjoyed, or vainly DONE
or something from your beings chain
Broke OF nor to be linked again
BY all mere memory can retnin,-
Upon your heart this truth may rise,-
Nothing that altogether dies
Sufices mans just destinies.
So should we live. that every hour
MAY die as dies the natural fower,-
A self-reviving thing of power.
That every thought and every deed
May hold within itself the seed
OF future good and future need.
Esteeming sorrow, whose employ
Is to develop. not destroy,
Far better than barren joy.

WASHINGTON LETTER.


WASHINGTON, Mar. %, 1888.
Cleveland and revenue reform il
the refrain that is being echoed from
one end of the country to the other
Ex-C Congressman Hill, of Ohio, who
is in the city, says the democrats Of
that state are unanimous for the
nomination of Mr.. Cleveland, and
that the delegates to st. Louis will
20 instructed to vote that way.
MIR. Cleveland and his policy Of
revenue reform are gaining strength
every day, all over the country, and
yet right here at the Capital hand.
full of members of the House Of Rep
resentatives calling themselves demo
Gratis have set themselves up in op'
position to the whole party and have
gone deliberately to work to prevent
the passage by the House of the
Mills tariff bill, thus preventing the
party from redeeming the pledges
upon which il elected President
and hopes to re-elect him.
These men claim to represent the
sentiments of their constituents, but
unless Mr.. Hill who is quoted above
is wrong about the sentiment in
Ohio, the members from that state
who have joined hands with Mr.. Ran
dali, who represents q republican
district in Pennsylvania, are misrep-
resenting their constituents in op-
posing revenue reform. The same
might be said of the Louisiana mem
bers who are opposing the Mills tar
| iff bill.
The republicans here are still in q
demoralized condition, never having
recovered from the effects of the
Blaine letter. If they do not rally
before the campaign opens they will
not fight with enough vim to make
the contest interesting.
Senator Blair, of New Hampshire,
has introduced bill in the Senate
proposing the ex-Confederate SOL
diers and sailors shall have prefer.
ence over confederate civilians
in appointments to civil service posi-
tions. The bill was not asked for
nor is it wanted by anybody. But
for all that its authors motives in
presenting it were good, and he is a
kind hearted man.
The House Committee on terri
tories have reported bill to organ
ize the territory of Alaska.
Hon. ]. T. Anderson, Of lows, who
has been appointed Assistant Com
missioner of the general Land Office,

that state.
Hon. S. NJ. Stockslager who has
been appointed Commissioner OF the
@. L. O., served in the FortY-seventh

The bill to prevent the employ
ment OF alien and convict labor on

House.
The President has sent TO Con-

Attention to Minor Manners

And to descend to the lowest thing
about gentleman, we should remember
that his minor manners must be attended
10; ne does not swear or smoke in the
presence of women, he does not eat his
dinner in hurry he does not crumble
his bread about, making it into pills; he
does not eat his soup with kissing sound,
or tip the plate to get the last drop; he
mends his table manners if they are bad
he dresses himself well if his means will
allow be he ever so poor he must be
slean. If he commits any little error at
the dinner table he must learn to be com.
posed; he must be deaf and blind to the
errors of others in society. But etiquette
never means stiffness The best bred beo.
pie are the unconscious.
SO sudden are the rises in American So
clety that many man has been invited
to dinner party to eat his dinner off the
plate which he lately washed. A politi
clan may rise from being waiter to being
president of the United States. And he is
better man and better diner out. bet
ter president, if, when he was a waiter. he
had good manners and was obedent. "HC
also serves who only stands and waits
has greater master than the one who
pays him his wages. The noble old quota
ton can be read two ways A man NAV
thus be q gentleman at heart even in {
condition of servitude. Many an ole
black Uncle Tom was a gentleman, but il
would not have been proper to thus an
n0unce him to his master-M. +. w

After 1l9 years of association with
white men in California, there is not now
III our state one first rate farmer mechanic
or bookkeeper of pure aboriginal blood;
not one merchant or owner of large herd
OF cattle. Many Indians have been good
workers for few weeks or months at a
time in vineyards, orchards, hop fields.
grain fields and sheep shearing. but at the
close of the season they have wasted their
earnings in dissipation, and then lounged
about in idleness until another period OF
higher wages would stimulate them tc
exertion. This mode of life among tho
men, the degraded character of tho
women the squalor of their dwellings
and the frequency of thefts near thciI
camps, render them very undesirable a,
neighbors.
There never has been a time since 1S4(
when an Indian disposed to work faith
fully could not get regular and profitable
employment when he could not save
enough in year TO pay for forty acres Of
land; and when after buying he could not
be protected in its possession Thousand,
OF white men, after arriving in California
without a dollar, became rich by toll ano
economy; with better opportunities. fol

could get $40 or $50 a day, not one Indian
has done so.--John S. Hittel in Overland
Monthly.
