There is no medicine so often needed
in every home and so admirably adapted
to the purposes for which it is intended,
as Chamberlain's Pain Balm. Hardly a
week passes but some member of the
family has need of it. A toothache or
headache may be cured by it. A touch
of rheumatism or neuralgia quoted.
The severe pain of burn or scald
promptly relieved and the sore healed in
much less time than when medicine has
to be sent for. A sprain may be
promptly treated before inflammation sets
in, which insures a cure in about one
third of the time otherwise required.
Cuts and bruises should receive inn
mediate treatment before the parts be-
come swollen, which can only be done
when Pain Balm is kept at hand. A
sore throat may be cured before it be-
comes serious. A troublesome corn may
be removed by applying it twice a day
for week or two. A lame back may be
cured and several days of valuable time
saved or pain in the side or chest re-
lleved without paying doctor bill. Pro-
cure so cent bottle at once and you
will never regret it. For sale by Blakeley

SOUTHERN PACIFIC SCHEME

Ashland, Ore, Nov. 19-The Southern
Pacific company is trying to secure pat
ents to all unoccupied mineral lands lying
in sections within the limits of the rail-
road grant, covering the most valuable
part of the Southern Oregon mining dis
trict. The railroad has recently been
making surveys and filing lists with the.
land Office at Roseburg for the purpose of
securing title from the government.
Public meetings have been held in sew
eral towns, at which the action of the
railroad company has been denounced
BY the terms of the charter Of the Ore
gon and California Railroad company the,
government stipulates that mining lama
be excepted. The people claim the Mnd
wholly unfit for agricultural uses andlthe
company are simply trying to get hold OF
valuable mining lands under the proviS1
ions of its non-mineral charter. Special
committees have been appointed from
each district and they are directed to
take counsel A large number Of con
tests will be filed at once,

CHICAGO.

Chicago, Nov. 19.-There We're buying
orders for wheat in the hands of Il major
ity of the commission houses when the
market opened, and there were numerous
local operators who instructed their bro

vance of from 1-S to lie per bushel over
Saturdays closing price was realized for
the wheat sold at the opening, After
that the tendency was gradually down

brought hosts of buyers. The visible sup
ply increased 1,062,00. The total amount
now in the visible is S2,2S2,0OO bushels,
which surpasses the heaviest ever pre-
yiously existing. Half an hour from the
close May was down to GO 3-4c, and it
wound up easy at that figure.

Mr.. Fred Miller of Irving, ILL.,, writes
that he had q severe kidney trouble for
many years, with severe pains in his
back, and also that his bladder was af-
fected. He tried many so-called kidney
cures without any good result. About a
year ago he began use of Electric Bitters
and found relief at once. Electric Bit
tiers is especially adapted to cure of all
kidney and liver troubles and often gives
almost instant relief. One trial will

to the effect that Attorney General Olnev
was ABOUT to resign from his position in
Ihe GaDinet to be succeeded by Hon. VIM,
-. wilson OF West Virginia. Those who
CANNED to know contend that if was dis
tasteful to Mr.. Cleveland to know that
ms attorney general was still in the en-
ploy OF certain corporations and that as
he was not disposed to give up the hand
some income he was receiving from that
source he had been respectfully asked TO
step out. That Mr.. Wilson's name was
mentioned as his probable successor is
not at all strange in view of the disposi-
tlon the president has shown in the past
10 look out for his friends. 1t will be re-
c"iieu now curing the recent session of
congress Representative Breckenridge
OF Arkansas, after having met defeat for
reelection because of his advocacy of Mr..
Clevelands tariff ideas, was given the
important mission to Russia. The above
charge has been SO much talked about
here that it was believed to be true by
many people until it was emphatically de-
MED by Mr.. Wilson. That gentleman
has been in Washington for two days
past but has successfully eluded reporters
until lats night at the depot
when he was about to leave for Boston
to deliver lecture. On being questioned
ne SAID there was not word of truth
in it.
Considerable speculation is being in
dulged in in regard to the character of
those who will seek investment in the
proposed 5O,OOO,O00 bonds sale. The
primary object of the issue will be to re-
coup the gold reserve. AS is well known,
most of the gold reserve is held by the
national banks. The everyday people
hold little of the metal and therefore
should they wish to invest they would
have to exchange their legal tender notes
at the sub treasures for gold to make
the purchase and then where would I'm
Gle Sans golden shower come from?
Out of his own pocketbook, and the real
object of the issue would be defeated. 1t
is therefore likely that the issue will be
negotiated directly with the New York
banks.
