l was a severe sufferer from rheumatism,
for four years, previous to October
1857; when was taken with rheumatic
fever, and was confined to my bed for
six weeks. Every joint in my body was
affected. The disease settled in my left
wrist which became enlarged and per-
fectly stiff. At the same time suffered
constant pain in my joints. l tried all
kinds ofl;niments for my wrist and kept
it bandaged for months. In Apri! 1888,
Dalton's Sarsaparilla was prescribed by
my phi ysician and soon felt its bene-
fetal effects. My pain was relieved and
a gradual absorption of the morbid de-
post about my wrist-joint took place.
In four m onths my wrist was well, and
has remained well to the present time.
I am perfectly cured from rheumatism
and DALroN's SARsAPARILLA performed
the cure. MISS MARY c. LANE,

The BOuntiful Season of 1898.

Galena Gazette, Dec. IA.
The editor of the Gazette took a
trip last week to Gratiot, Shullsburg,
Darlington, Belmont, and Platteville,
and found the snow out that way
about twice as deep as in Galena. and
farmers improving the good sleighing
in taking their crops to market. The
farmers seem to be in good spirits and
ready to admit that it has been one of
the best seasons they have experienced
in many years. In the neighborhood
of Belmont, Plattevilie and ReWey
corn was more than an average crop,
and in all parts of southern Wiscon-
sin the hay crop was bountiful. Other
crops were at least a fair average.
Prices for farm products are ruling
high, and the hard times have not
struck the farmers. The mines around
Shullsburg, New Diggings, Benton,
Miflin, Linden, Mineral Point, Cen
terville and Highland have generally
shut down, and many laborers have
been thrown out of employment in
those neighborhoods, but this does not
effect the prosperity Of the farmers.
The withdrawal of the income from
the mines, however, effects the mer-
chants materially, as the miners are
without means to meet their bills at
the stores. About sixty miners have
been thrown out of employment in
the vicinity of Shullsburg alone, and
in the entire lead mining region of
southwestern Wisconsin there are
probably one thousand miners out of
employment.

A lady living in Livingston who
had carefully raised large brood Of
chickens, during the past summer, on
going out TO feed them the other
morning had the misfortune to find
that thieves had robbed the roost of
every feathered creature therein. In
looking about the grounds for the
tracks Of the thieves, she found a
pocketbook, and on opening it found
that it contained 5000 in good, lawful
money of the United States She is
now holding on to the money, which
it is not likely the thieves will care to
claim, even by returning the chickens.

all over the city broke out into a
wild ringing and with a terrible
sinking of the heart he drew back
from the window. 1t was New
Years morning and be recognized
the old Presbyterian bell, loudest
of all. There was where he had
gone every Sunday in his life, and
now it's bell was ring his death
knell. The black wall was right
over him now, and he saw it would
fall and crush him this time and
there was no escape. Opening his
vest he drew from an inner pocket
keen, glittering knife. Sinking
on his knees, he tried to pray, but
the prayer froze on his lips, for the
wall was now just over his head,
blacker than night and heavier
than all the world, With a terrible
cry he drew the razor edge of the
knife across his throat and fell back
and the wall fell on him, and his
soul was lost in it forever. An
hour later the keeper made his
rounds with his lantern. AS be
passed No. 6 he drew back in hor-
ror. A tiny crimson stream was
trickling across the floor from No
6 and had formed a great red blotch
just under the window. Hastily
throwing back the bolt from the
cell he raised the lantern and peer.

with his throat cut from ear to ear.
The Mortified jailor approached
and held the light over the dead

your wife, Bell?" said the jailor,
pausing moment and holding up
the light SO that it's rays fell full
on the young cashiers face.
"No, no, come around after
awhile" said Bell, in voice that
he could hardly recognize as his
own, it was so hoarse and broken.
The jailor departed and the light
died away, and he was left in total
darkness. And this was the end.
He leaned back against the wall and
ground his teeth in agony, while
great drops of sweat gathered on
his forehead and fell on his face. A
great, black wall seemed to advance
threateningly towards him and he
drew back in terror lest he might
be crushed, but the next moment
he saw that it was only n delusion
and that the wall was gone. He
fell to staring at the floor and wond-
ering what his wife would say and
what she was doing, and what his
friends all over the city were saying
then. Then all at once he saw the
black wall again right over him
and just ready to fall. In his ter
ror he could not restrain cry of
horror. The next moment the wall
had vanished and his jailor came
and asked him if he would have a
light and some supper, but he shook
his head and answered, mot now"
IF anybody calls to see you to-
night Bell, shall l tell them to come
to the cell?"
"No, no, tell them | can't see
them tonight"
Again the keeper retired, and
Bell drew back into the darkest
corner of his cell and stood with
his eyes fixed on the floor. Scene
after scene of his life passed in rapid
review before him. But one scene
came and went again repeatedly,
and he saw again the little parlor
all bright and fair, with flowers,
rich carpets and rugs, the piano in
the corner and the bird cage swing
ing over the center table. But the
fairest picture of all was the fair
young girl that stood by his side
with white veil over her head and
her right hand in his, and he heard
over again the solemn words of the
minister, "to cherish and protect
