SOUTH CHICAGO, October 7, 1893.
EDITOR CALUMET: l desire to let the
people of this section know the great
benefit I have derived from the use
of Chmberlain's Pain Balm. I am an
engineer, and in filling my duties as such,
often become overheated, while the strain
on my engine is very great, and has caus.
ed me much suffering. These pains were
of such frequent recurrence, that feared
kidney trouble. Physicians could do moth
ing for me, and often, after catching cold
I would be laid up and lose day or two's
work. About year ago caught severe
cold and had to go to bed. The pain in
my back was terrible and I could get no
relief. I sent to drug store for some
kind of iniment and the druggist said
Chamberlain,s Pain Balm was as good as
anything. I had the Pain Balm well rub
bed in across the small of my back, then
wet flannel cloth and bound it across the
seat of pain. In few hours relief came,
the pain had vanished, and the next day l
went to work and have not lost day
since. Yours Resp, B. w. Bradley, En-
gineer Pain Balm is for sale here by
Graham & Wells, druggists.

Senator Vance on Silver.

NEW YORK, July pa special to
the World from Raleigh, n. O., says:
Senator Zebulon B. Vance to day
made public an open letter which he
has written to the Farmers Alliance.
In his letter Senator Vance says he is
pleased at the action of the Alliance
in urging Senators and Representa-
tives TO stand by the present silver
purchasing law until some satisfac-
tory substitute is adopted. He says
years ago he urged upon the farmers
the Importance of such an organiza-
ton as would enable them to make
their vast but disjointed strength
felt promptly and efficiently in legis.
lation. and that the. preservation OF
silver in currency is the vital issue:
He declares that the use Of silver and
gold on equal terms as the basis OF
our currency is a necessity, and
asserts his determination to yield
nothing to the monometallists who
have created the panic so industri.
ously advertised, and which will
hereafter be known as rich mans
panic. Senator Vance says in con
clusion that the hope of ingratlating
himself with the President to secure
patronage has not affected him, nor
does he believe it will operate far IN
ahe effort to secure a repeal of the
Sherman law.

Several shipments OF sweet pota-
tatoes have been made from the
county this week, and in noting the
fact we cannot Withhold the counsel,
so often given to our farmers at the
beginning of the season, to Gull them
properly and put them up in as good
form as possible, if they want proper
returns for their labors. A depressed
market is sure to follow want of
care in these respects, resulting in a
loss of many thosands of dollars to
our farmers, and knowing as they DO
by past experience that the market
rarely ever rallies when low prices
for sweet potatoes have once been es-
tablished, the exercise of a little COM
mon sense should teach them that it
is duty they owe themselves, to do
MI in their power to keep the mar
ket firm. If your potatoes are ready
to ship, let them go, if nothold them
until they are and by all means keep
Your trash at,home, or so mark it
that no one will be deceived
