A little boy of Mrs. McDonald's
living near here, fell against red hot
stove and was fearfully burned. The
pain was terrible, and it was thought
that the burn was so severe as to scar
the child for life. l sold the lady a
bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm,
which after greasing the sore, she
applied. 1t soon removed all the fire
and eased the pain, and in ten days
the boy was well, no trace of the scar
remaining. J. D. McLaren, keysport,

No BlOOdshe ed Expected.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-Secretary Of
State John w. Foster held a conference
this morning with Senator Morgan, the
leading democratic member of the senate
committee on foreign relations, and Mr.
Blount, of Georgia, chairman of the
house committee on foreign affairs. The
secretary also had talk on the Hawaiian
situation with Mr.. Hit, of Illinois, ex-
chairman of the house committee on for
eign affairs, and the leading republican
member of that committee. These gen
tlemen came singly and gave
their views in reference to this
question. Mr.. Foster is booked
to sail from New York on the Teutonic
Wednesday next to attend the Bering
sea conference. There are no indica
tions of any material increase to be made
in the number of United States naval ves-
sells in Hawiisn waters. No develop
ments that will lead to bloodshed in
Honolulu or elsewhere in the islands
have come to light and it is the belief in
the naval circles that the force of marines
and sailors on the Boston is sufficient to
protect American interest and maintain
| order One vessel may be sent to sup
! port the Boston and information obtained
at the department leads to belief that nc
| others will follow unless the situation be
comes alarming, and this does not seem
probable in view of the present state oi
affairs. The government will not b,
caught mapping however, and vessels
will be prepared for sea and kept il
readiness.

The Way 81 is Done in Texas.

PARIS, Texas, Feb. When the
news was received here yesterday that
Henry Smith. who sssaul ed and killed
little Myrtle Vance q week ago. had heen
captured at Hope, Ark, the whole town
became excited. Business suspended
and the entire population took to the
streets. A large party left here last
evening on special train for Texarkana
to meet the deputies and to make sure
OF keeping Smith. kilograms are pour
ing in from points in the surrounding
country asking when Smith would get
here and what time his execution
will take place as they wanted to
be here. The fate of Smith was decided
last night at mass meeting. He is ex-
pected to arrive here to day and will be
taken to the scene of his crime and
burned to a stake. A telegram from
| Hope, received early this morning, states
that Smith confessed the crime. The
guards have been doubled and the at
tempt to lynch Smith will be resisted.
Smith brutally murdered the child O.
4 years to revenge himself on the fathe
who, while acting in the capacity o
policeman, used his club freely on Smitl
while the latter was resisting arrest.
