condition of affairs unknown TO me for
years.
"When first admitted to the Leaven-
worth Branch in 1889 had no hopes of
seeing the grass grow or the flowers
bloom again, but used five bottles OF
Paine's celery compound and received
more benefit than had ever expected.
Il know that it is remedy for
chronic rheumatism, lumbago, indiges-
ton, and especially valuable In nervous
diseases, and in that indescribable jump
ing and humping of the heart, which
makes a fellow believe his time has
come.
Il would say to my comrades who
are suffering from diseases contracted in
the line of duty, that Paine's celery
compound is the right medicine for
them; it will relieve, perhaps cure them If
not too-far gone. 1t Is worthy of fair
trial.
Try it in your families. Your chill
dren born since the war have inherited
nervous diseases from you, which were
contracted in the smoking battle and
the exhausting marches, which, if for
gotten in the lapse of years, leave their
traces in the system, and are plague to
the comfort and ease of old age. 1t is
your plain duty to eliminate this faint
from their systems.
1.-The tremendous strain and waste of
nervous force that soldier experiences
In al active campaign tells against him
on the approach of old age. It must be
guarded against; the system must be
fortified and strengthened by some po-
tent remedy. Many of us unhappily re-
sors to stimulen.s. 1t is much better and
wiser to take Paine's celery compound,
which builds up the body, tones the
nerves. and purihes the blood.
eff what is written here is tedious and
prosy, it is written for a good purpose,
and from the depths Of a thankful heart,
striving to find adequate expression"
Says COmrade j. j. Miller, of the same
home:
''Paine's celery compound is the only
medicine that ever did me any good, and
l can cheerfnlly recommend it to any
one suffering from kidney or bladder
trouble"

used six bottles of Paine's celery COM

Paine's celery compound has made
many veterans well at Dayton.
Com:ade Edward Schott, late first
sergeant, Co. C, 23rd Indiana, writes
from Dayton:

closely resembles it that it takes an
expert to tell the difference. This rock

DEAD CITY OF THE BALTIC.
Visby, in Gotland, Which Was Once q Fa-
NOUS Center of Trade.

It's silent grass-grown streets and the
blackened ruins of its once stately
churches suggest mournful retrospect.
Yet the Visby Of to-day merits more at
tention than it obtains from visitors to
Sweden and the Baltic. It's once
fabulous wealth has departed from it.
The housewives no longer, as in the
old tradition, use golden spindles, nor
do the hogs eat from silver troughs;
while of the eighteen churches of
which the town once boosted seventeen
lie in uirretrivable ruin, wrecked, it
would seem, rather by the ruthless
ness OF man than by the ravages OF time.
Still Visby, even in ruins-we may
say, indeed. because of its ruins and
the associations that cling to them-is
full of interest. Its early prosperity
was largely due to the convenient
position of Gotland in the Baltic,
midway between the Swedish and Rus
sian coasts. Until the new routes by
Genoa and Venice and by the cape of
Good Hope We're established most of
the commerce with the east passed
through Russia. and Visby as place
of call became SO prominent as to gain
the name Queen of the Baltic" or the
Eye of the Baltic" Old chronicle-s
assert that even Solomon in all his
glory was poorer in gold and silver and
precious stones than was this small
city
Visby was one of the first to be en-
rOllaI ID
a leading part in the famous league.
It's maritime code has served as a model
for most of the European navigation
laws. From the first the Eye" of the
Baltic was mainly directed to business.
Its prosperity received royal recogni-
ton when Henry III. allowed the rner-
chants OF Gotland the privilege of free
trade as regarded purchase and traffic
in England. The enterprise of the
traders enabled them to secure q dou bic
profit.
They betool themselves, with other
representatives of the league, to Lon
don and esta blished, close TO Thames
street, a house called the Steelvard,
which fourished for upward OF three
centuries Meanwhile the population
increased rapidly in Visby. and the
variety OF religions called for the cree
ton OF numerous churches 'and reli
gious buildings Charitab bic guilds and
hospitals were also esta hlished- The
monks. after their wont helped TO
beautify the town b. planting walnut.

OF which still thrive. But The chief
charm of Visby lies IN its gray walls,
which. as a specimen of ancien; fortifi
cation are almost unique.

oLD-TIME STEAMBOAT RACING
A Negro Sat OF the Safety Valve, Holding
Down the Seam.

A Negro Sat the Safety Valve, Holding
Down the Seam.
The famous race between the Hanni-
bal City and the Ocean Spray, which
occurred in 1859, is the subject of an
article in ST. Louis paper. Prior to
this race the Ocean Spray had splendid
records. The race was from ST. Louis
to Keolluk. The early part of the race
was very close, and the excitement
was intense. When nearing Bissell's
Point the Ocean Spray found the Han
nibal City passing her. The mate on
the Ocean Spray, one Davis, becoming
desperate, ordered the head of a barrel
of turpentine to be knocked in. His
men were then ordered to dip the wood
in this turpentine before putting it in
the furnace, the object being to quick
~ increase the steam pressure. The
Ocean Spray was supposed to carry
only one hundred and sixty pounds of
steam, but Davis thought that by put
ting another negro on the safety valve"
he could run the pressure up to two
hundred pounds and distance his rival.
In carrying the dripping wood to the
furnace the track became saturated
with the turpentine, which caught fire
from the open furnace. The flame
quickly reached the barrel. An at
tempt was made to throw the barrel
overheard, but it exploded, and, the
burning oil being scattered all around,
the boat was soon a mas. of flames.
Scott Matson was captain on the
Hannibal City. He was brave and
generous man, and in this instance
these two qualities made his name
famous. Notwithstanding the immi-
nent danger he ran his boat alongside
the burning one and rescued every per-
son ON board. Davis, the mate of the
burned boat, was afterward convicted
and sent to the penitentiary for such
gross violation of the rules Of safety.
He was later pardoned.
