ST.. Louis, June l4--Phe Republic
(Democratic) will tomorrow print an
entire page devoted to the opinions Of
Democratic editors as to the available
ity of Gov. Hill, of New York, as the
Democratic standard-bearer in the
Presidential contest of 1892. The
newspapers to which the query was
addressed circulate in ten States where
Democratic opinion is strongly repre-
sented by them. There is but one ex-
preston in favor of the nomination Of
Gov. Hill, coming from the Augusta
(Ga.) Chronicle. protection paper.
OF the others all but two are unquali-
fedly opposed to the nomination CT
Hill. The two exceptions are the Lou
isvillc Courier-Journal and Atlanta
(Ga.) Journal. Mr.. Watterson simply
declines to commit himself to an opin-
ion now.

Sweeping the Forests,

CHICAGO, June ia dispatch from
Superior, Wis, dated last night, says
A terrible fire is sweeping the forests
south and west of here, and unless the
weather changes the loss will be enor-
nous. Already $500000 worth of pine
has been destroyed. The districts
tributary to the Nemadj and st Louis
rivers in Wisconsin and Minnesota are
suffering terribly. The smoke from
the burning districts is obscuring the
sun and rendering difficult the en-
trance of vessels into the harbor.
Much Of the pine on the Cloquet re-
servation is already wiped out A
strong wind is blowing from the south
west, and rural villages are threatened
with destruction. The fire is raging
from the st. Croix to Northern Pacific
junction.

The crops over large portion OF the
country have been passing through
quite an ordeal during the last ten
days. The Signal Service weather
crop bulletin reports that low temper
ature, local frosts and excess Of rain
operated unfayorably upon the crops
In the States north Of the Ohio River.
The "cool wave" in the rear of the
storm in Pennsylvania moved as far
south as Tennessee. The heavy rains
recently, however, were beneficial in
relieving the drought in the cotton
States and also improved the agri-
cultural outlook in Kentucky, Ten
nessee, Arkansas and Texas.

A Mothers Agony.

Among the many heart-rending
scenes at Johnstown, this one has a
peculiar pathos
They are all Gone. Oh, God, be
merciful to them, My husband and
my sevon dear little children have
been swept down with the flood, and
/ am left alone. We we're driven by
the awful flood into the garret, but the
water followed us there. Inch by inch
it kept rising until our heads were
crushed against the roof. 1t was death
to remain. So | raised a window, and
one by one placed my darlings on
some driftwood, trusting to the great
Creator. AS | liberated the last one,
my sweet little boy, he looked at me
and said Mama, you always told me
that the Lord would care for me will
He look after me now p saw him
drift away, with his loving face turned
toward me, and, with prayer on my
lips for his deliverance, he passed
from my sight forever. The next mo-
ment the roof crashed in, and l foated
outside, to be picked up fifteen hours
later from the roof of house in Kern
vile. If I could only find one Of my
darlings, | conld bow to the will OF
God, but they are all gone. have lost
everything on earth now but my life,

Eleventh Census.

Department of the Interior, Census
Office, Washington, D, c., May 1,
1S99.--To the Medical Profession The
various medical associations and the
medical profession will be glad to learn
that DR.. John S. Billings, Surgeon U.
S. Army, has consented to take charge
OF the report on the mortality and Vi
tai statistics of the United States as
returned by the eleventh census.
AS the United States has no system
OF registration of vital statistics, such
as is relied upon by other civilized ma
tions for the purpose of ascertaining
the actual movement of population,
our ceusus affords the only opportuni-
ty of obtaining near an approximate
estimate Of the Birth and death rates
OF much the larger part of the country,
which is entirely unprovided with any
satisfactory system of State and mu-
nicipal registration.
In view OF this, the census office,
during the month of May this year,
will issue to the medical profession
throughout the country physicians
Registers" for the purpose of obtaining
more accurate returns OF deaths than
it is possible for the enumerators to
make. tits earnestly hoped that ply
sieians in every part Of the country
will cooperate with the census office in
this most important work. The record
should be kept from June l, 1889, to
May 81, 1890. Nearly $4,000 of these
registration books were filled up and
returned to the Office in 1880, and
nearly all of them used for statistical
purposes. 1t is hoped that double this
number will be obtained for the eley
enth census.
Physicians not receiving registers
can obtain them by sending theil
names and addresses to the census OF
fee, and, with the register, an officia
envelope which requires no stamp vii
be provided for their return to Wash
ington.
II all medical and surgical practi
TONERS throughout the country vii
lend their aid, the mortality an(
vital statistics OF the eleventh census
will be more comprehensive and com
plete than they have ever been. Ever!
physician should take Il personal pride
in having this report as full and accu
rate as it is possible to make it.
1t is hereby promised that all infor
nation obtained through this sourc,
shall be held strictly confidential.

DEAR SIR-For more than fifteen
months ! have been a sufferer from
acute neuralgia pains in my head |
tried six of the best physicians in the
city-doctors with an established rep
utation and large practice-and they
each and every one in turn gave me
no relief At last / was advised to in
vest 25 cents in "patent" medicine
--WHITE's NEURALGIC CURE--and to
my glad surprise the pain which had
ballled noted physicians skill gradual
ly yielded to your medicine, until now
| feel entirely cured of Neuralgia, l
am so grateful to you for the priceless
boon that | am prompted to write you
this unsolicited testimonial. For the
benefit of suffering humanity you are
at liberty TO use this letter in order o
introduce your excellent remedy.
Yours very respectfully,

An Editors Experience.

Major Sidney Herbert, well-known
journalist in agricultural circles,
writes April 18th, 1880: Some five
years ago l wrote a letter stating that
Swift's Specific had cured me OF severe
rheumatism. Since that time | have
had no return OF the rheumatic
troubles, although frequently exposed
to the influences that produced former
attacks. Several of my friends had a
similar experience, and are firm in
their conviction that S. s. S. brought
a permanent cure. The searching
power of this medicine is shown in the
fact that it developed scrofulous
faint that was conspicuous in my blood
over thirty years ago, and has remov-
ed the last trace of it. / have also
tested S. S. S. as tonic after severe
attack of malaral fever, which kept
me in bed for three months, and am
convinced that its curative and
strengthening properties insured my
recovery from that illness, as was in a
very low condition of health.
