The columns OF any newspaper are not
spacious enough to even give the names of
rheumatic sufferers who have been cured
by Dr. Plouf's Rheumatic Cure. 1t would
be pleasant if the affidavits of few hum
dred could be published, but that again re-
quires too much space. A synopsis of
few reads like this:

An Astounding Swindle Finds Many
Dupes.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, Sept. 20 One
of the most astounding swindles in the
country has just been brought TO light
here by the federal detectives, who have
arrested Henry Ash and George W. Rose
two of three ringleaders. Robert F.
Livaly, the man who originated the
scheme, escaped to the mountains, but a
posse is after him.
Some weeks ago these three men Or
ganized at St. Albans, this county, q
branch of what was alleged to be the Ma.
tional Assembly, said by the conspirators
to be patriotic order, having for its OBJ.
ject the relief of the National Govern
ment. 1t was proposed to put into pos
session of the government all the gold
coin boarded up by the people, to the
end that the government might be en-
abled to meet its obligations and be saved
from National repudistion. The Treas
ury Department, it was explained, had
plenty of paper money, and had agreed
that for all the gold coins paid to the "as-
sembly" and certified by the officers,
there would be paid five times the sum
10 paper currency. Nothing less than
5000 would be accepted from any one.
The thing took in a surprising way.
The country was secured for gold. One
man paid 81 200, another $500, and scores
gave from 5000 to $500 for the worthless
certificates of the swindlers. The Ches-
speake and Ohio Railroad Company paid
its employees in gold and large sums of
this money went into the Golfers of Live
ly and his pals. Poor men borrowed,
begged and mortgaged, that they might
raise gold, and many q dollar of hard.
earned savings went into the assembly
for the relief of the government"
The postofice authorities got wind of
the thing about week ago, and todsy
the arrests were made. The excitement
over the swindle is great. 1t is estima-
ted that the swindlers obtained over
$4,000 from their dupes, many of whom
are left penniless.

Turn Choking People Upside Down.

MAYORS OFFICE, FREDERICKSBURG,
Va, Sept, 12.-Messrs. Editors: The
Sun of the 18th instant contained '::spe.
cial" from Pittsburg, Pa, which stated
that a party was choked to death by
piece of meat lodging In his throat, and,
as I know of q very simple remedy,
which has always proved successful
whenever tried, I desire to make the
same known through the columns of your
widely circulated journal. Some two
years ago death from choking was re-
ported in the New York World, and I
wrote short article for that paper, Civ.
ing the remedy, and requested that any
one who had tried it would write me. In
few weeks I received letter from a
grateful mother who had saved the life
of her little daughter when almost gone.
I have known of several instances of
children that were badly choked being
relieved at once, and, one instance, a
bean in child's nose was removed by
the same means.
The remedy is simply this: To reverse
the position of the body by turning the
head down and the feet up at once as
soon as case of choking occurs. I saw
a man once badly choked, who must have
died but for knowing this remedy, but he
rushed to a sofa near q window, and,
placing his hands on the floor, with his
head down and his feet ele waited in the
window, he was instantly relieved.
I will thank any who may try this
remedy to kindly write me the results
and to publish the same for the benefit of
the public, for 1 have never known it to
fail in single instance.

Lintless Cotton Seed.

Manager Cureton, of the Greenville
cotton seed oil mill, is experimenting
with the lintless cotton of 81. T. Fergu-
son, living near Woodruff, in Spartan.
burg County, twenty six miles east of
this city.
The object of Mr.. Cureton's expert
ments Is to fud what value the seed has
as an oil producer and as fertilizer.
A Mews reporter yesterday saw several
stalks of the cotton at the oil mill. They
were not unlike the ordinary stalks in
appearance and no difference can be seen
in the green bolls until they are opened.
Then the observer Is astonished. He sees
nothing but boil full OF green seed such
as he would find on opening q pea pod.
The merest trace of lint is found. The
stalks in the possession of Mr.. Cureton
contain one or two open bolls, and when
a close inspection is made there is again
surprise. The seeds stick in the bolls
until they are we'll mstured and if not
picked drop out. When ripe they are
intensely black in color and resemble the
seed of the famous Peterkin cotton.
They are larger than the ordinsry seed.
Mr.. Cureton has not fully completed
his experiments, but be has made few
simple tests. He says tue seed has much
more oil than the ordinary seed and far
more meal. he believes the cotton can
be easily cultivated and will yield from
300 to 400 bushels on the acre. He be-
lieves, from what be now sees, that there
is great future for the cotton as an oil
producer and fertilizer maker.
The seed are gathered much like peas
and the cotton is harvested much like
other cotton. Mr.. Ferguson has an acre
in cultivation this year.
The following are the claims made for
the cotton in q circular sent out by Mr..
Ferguson:
"Ferguson's lintless cotton is the
grandest discovery Of the age. For four
years I have been experimenting with
this cotton seed. 1t comes true to name
every time. 1t is one of the most abund.
ant bearers ever seen in cotton and will
resist q drouth ten to fifteen days longer
than other cotton. Stalks bear from 100
to 400 bolls packed full of seed, number.
ing from twenty to sixty seed in each
boil. They contain more oil and more
plant food than other cotton feed and
will make this season 400 or 500 bushels
of seed per acre, planted 3xS feet and
cultivated as other cotton. Sowed broad.
cast as peas for fertiliziug purposes up to
the 10th of June, will shed on the land
from 100 to 200 bushels of seed without
any work. The cotton grows tall, put
ting out from six to eight long running
limbs near the bottom of the stalk. They
resemble potato vines. Each of these
limbs will mature from eight to twenty
bolls, besides the short limbs and brace
limbs common in other cotton.
"For stock it il superior to all others.
Chickens, turkeys and ducks devour the
seed when in the roasting ear state as
eargerly as they do corn. Stock of all
kinds eat them."- Mews.

From the Wagon to the Pulpit.

Before Sam Jones went to preaching be
ran a public drsy in Gainesville, his ma.
tive town. He was q familiar figure
around the depot, and he at that time
hauled all the drummers' trunks from the
depot to the hotel. Many veteran drum.
mers yet remember Sam as draymau.
His outfit was a small, rickety, rattlipg,
ramshackling wagon and an old sorrel
horse, that was old and experienced
enough to have come down from the rev.
olutionary war. This horse was char.
acter in his way, and some people say he
was the cause of Sans reformation. He
was as humble horse as one would wish
to see. He submitted to all Sans cuffs
and rebuffs without any protest other
than mildly backing his flea bitten ears.
He had an air of one who was always
deeply engaged in thoughts and looked
upon the frivolities Of this life with so.
preme disdain. And then Sans horse
was extremely unsocisble in his temper
ament. He never cared to make any new
acqusintances and seemed desirous of
treadiDg the wine press of sorrow alone.
For many days he went on in the same
quiet way, drawing Sans rickety old
dray with the sublimest fortitude. It was
never necessary for Sam to tie him when
he left him, for he had such insurmoupt.
able constitutional objections to locomo-
tion there was little danger of him taking
his departure. So Sam thought, and so
it went for many, many days.
But things do not always remain the
same, alas!
One day Sans horse was seen, to the
most extreme surprise of the Cartersvil.
lians, tearing down Main street, followed
by the dray, which was rolling about from
one side to the other. Down the street
he went like mad, and seems wonderful
to those who knew him intimately that
be could acquire such speed. Sam, who
had left him for some purpose, stood
watching bis mad career eagerly.
"He's decided to emigrate," Sam re.
marked, as the horse continued his wild
flight.
Presently the horse swerved to the
right and the wagon struck against tree
with a crash and came to standstill.
The spectators all went down to survey
the wreck. 1t was complete one,
indeed. Sam stood and looked at it 81
lently for some moments In deep rehec-
ton. There was a pathos in his voice
when be finally turned around and said
ri guess I'll have to find some other
way to make living"
In few weeks Sam left Gainesville
and went down near Columbus.
"The next I heard or saw of SAM"
said the gentleman who told me the story,
"he came back to Gainesville and
preached sermon. I went out to hear
him, and l never saw such complete
change in a man."-Atlanta Constitution.

right to spend all the money in Texas.
At my suggestion Ell Paso sgreed to pay
for all materials used in an experiment
there, and it was under such circum.
stances that we went there. Down
there there is intense interest in the sue
cess of these experiments, and the peo-
pie of Texas appreciate the fact that if
rain can be produced by this means mil
lions or acres of arid land will be redeem.
ed, and the property in the State be in
creased in value amazingly.
I received telegram from Lieut.. El-
lis this afternoon, stating that he was
going, in few days, to Corpus Christi to
make another experiment. As I said be.

that these experiments ought to be pur-

CHARGES $500 A SHOWER.
Topeka, KAN, Sept. 19.-Melbourue,
the Australian rain wizard, has agreed
for $500 to make torrents of rainfall at
Goodland next Saturday. Goodland is
the county seat of Sherman County bor-
dering on Colorado. He contracts to
make it rain for fifty miles in all direc-
tions from Goodland.
His method is entirely different from
