What He Says Win Ring Over

As the Trumpet Tongued Ut
terances Of One Of Our
Great Men.

The sord u Hon. John X Prescott.
formerly = prominent member q the

Mr.. Prescott lives At k0ae. Ne.
Everybody knows him. every body re-
spects him and everybody believes what
be SAYS
And Il il an interesting story " hich he
tells and an eloquent ailate which he
pays.
Thirty two years ago. he says. Il
was attacked with neuralgia IN my face
and head. mostly confined to the righs
side. There was not otter q day or an
hour that ! was not suffering with that
terrible. severe pain. % severe great
many times that for several days and
nights could not sleep or take any food
excepting little Cruel.
My nerves were terribly affected and
l grew weak and feeble. as my many
friends In the state OF Maine. and more
particularly In kennebec County. wiz
certify 10.
About live years ago was taken with
what physicians claim 20 be a liver and
kidney trouble, a soreness over the right
kidney; % much 90 that could not bear
10 be rubbed.
My bowels were very much constl-
pated. could not urinate freely. and SUIT
Tered severe pains at such tines
my troubles increased very much and
for the past six months could not get
up from my bed In the morning and
dress me before would be in pain in
my back and bowels.
II would often be forced 10 drop down
and rest me and many times be IN such
pain that would cry like a child and
ask why could not die.
Il have used for the neuralgia all the
iniments Ihave ever seen advertised foE
the cure OF that disease. and for my
nerves and kidney and liver trouble
have taken so many medicines that they
are too numerous To mention.
Il have been. treated by tho leading
physicians OF Maine. have also bceu 10
Massachusetts, Ia be treated 10y physl-
clans in Boston. and from all have re-
ceived very little benefit One eminent
physician said that could not be cured
and many physicians examined me and
refused 10 treat me.
Il had given up taking medicine.

not be permitted on the important COM

fore removed, and Mr.. Teller was substi-

Climate of tho rorty-n,nth Parallel.

Did you ever hear Of the peculiar climate
of the 49th parallel Signal service men
tell some strange concerning it. In
the stretch OF country north and northwest
OF Bismarck, aud from Fort Benton, Mon,
to Pembina, N. D., is a belt of territory
about COO miles long by $50 wide that may
well be called the land of maximums and
minimums If tho records given be correct
When cold wave prevails, this belt is
colder than anywhere else in that region
and when ii is warm this tract is warmer
than anywhere else. If the signal station
at Bismarck shows q temperature OF 10, Il
or 90 degrees below zero, 1t is at least 10 o.
is degrees lower along the parallel.
In July, 1881, when Bismarck registered
1902 degrees in the shade, it was 10 degree
ut the others. AS q matter of course thi
district shows the greatest extremes of tenn
perature. The mean range in that part o
the northwest is probably $50 degrees-tha
is great enough-but Pembina and For
Benton have recorded range of 1863 dc
grees. On Dec. 20, 1880, the thermomete
etood at 50 degrees below zero and i'll Jul
of the following year at ITO degrees above
