RHEUMATISM PREVALENT.
Caused by the Sudden Changes of
Temperature.

rheumatism is more prevalent here
than ever before. When this disease
fastenes upon an individual with its
soreness and pain, swelling the Joints,
rendering him helpless in his movements
he is indeed an object of pity. The
slight pain in the back, joints or muscles
is warning indication of an Impoverished
condition Of the blood, and if not attend
ed to at once, means Rheur' atism.
Since the introduction of Dr.. David
Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, there have
been fewer rheumatic sufferers. Favorite
Remedy drives out rheumatic poison
from the blood, restores the circulation,
strengthens the nerve power. The hest
proof of its value, is the good it has
done.

Jnrustlng a packet into his HANDS,
''They are in order. "
The mayor took them, and longing
only to see the outside of the door pre-
tended to look through them, his little
heart going pit-a-pat within him.
''They seem to be in order" he assent
ed feebly. Il need not trouble you fur
ther, citizens came here under a mis-
apprehension, find, and wish you
good journey"
He knew, as he backed out, that he
was cutting poor figure. He would
fain have made more dignified retreat
But before these men, fugitives and out
laws as they were, he felt though he
was mayor of Carbaix, almost as small
man as did Michel Teller. These
were the men Of the revolution. They
had bearded mobiles and pulled down
kings. There was Barbaroux, who had
grappled with Marat, and Potion, the
mayor of the Bastille. The little mayor
of Carbaix knew greatness when he saw
his freside, his bodyguard not whit
behind him.
Five minutes later the men he feared
and envied came out also and went
their way, passing in single file into the
darkness which brooded over the great
monolith, beginning, brave hearts, an
other of the few stages which still lay
between them and the guillotine. Then
in the cottage there remained only Mi
chel and Jeanne. She sat by the dying
embers, silent and lost in thought. He
leaned against the wall, his eyes rowing
ceaselessly, but always when his gaze
met hers it fell. Barbaroux had con-
quered him. 1t was not until Jeanne
had risen to close the door and he was
alone that he wrung his hands and NUT
tered: Give crowns! Five crowns gone
and wasted"

them, his voice deep and solemn.
''He is not fit to livew they answered
in chorus.
The moor coward screamed as he heard
the words, and flinging himself on the
ground he embraced Barbaroux's knees
in paroxysm of terror But the Judge
did not look at him. Barbaroux turned
instead to Pierre Bounat. "What do
you say Of him." he asked.
''He is not fit to live, " said the young
man solemhly, his breath coming quick
and fast.
"And you?" Barbaroux continued,
turning and looking with his eyes of
fire at the wife, his voice gentle and yet
more solemn.
A moment before she had ceased to
weep and had stood up listening and
gazing, awe and wonder in her face.
Barbaroux had to repeat his question
before she answered. Then she said,
"He is not fit to die"
There was silence for moment, bro
ken only by the entreaties of the wretch
on the floor. At last Barbaroux spoke.
"She has said rightly" he pronounced.
'He shall live. They have put us out OF
the law and set a price ON our heads
but we will keep the law. He shall live
But, bark you, the great orator contin,

'Rememberw he added, shaking Mi
ohel to and fro with finger. "The arm
of Barbaroux is long, and though be
100 leagues away shall know, and 1
shall punish. So beware Now, rise and
liver"
The miserable man covered back to
the wall, frightened to the core of his
heart. The Girondins conferred awhile
i'll whispers, two of their number as
sisting Pierre to cross the barrier. Sud-
denly there came-and Michel trembled
anew as he heard it-a loud knocking
at the door. All started and stood lis
tening and waiting. A voice outside
cried, open, open in the name of thu
lawl"
1--WE have fingered too long" Barba-
rouX muttered. 81 should have thought
of this. 1t is the mayor of Carbaix como
to apprehend our friend.
Again the Girondins conferred togeth-
er. AT last, seeming to arrive at q con-
clusion, they ranged themselves on eli
Their side of the door, and one of their
number opened it. A short stout man,
grit with tricolor sash and wearing
huge sword, entered with an air of au-
thority. Being blinded by the light, he
saw nothing out of the common and was
followed by four men armed with mus
kets.
Their appearance produced an eXtraor-
binary effect on Michel Teller. AS they
one by one crossed the threshold the
peasant leaned forward, his face flush
ed, his eyes cleaning, and counted them.
They were only five. And the others
were ~. He fell back, and from that
moment his belief in the Girondins
power was clinched.
''In the name of the lawl" painted the
mayor why did you not Then he
stopped abruptly, his mouth remaining
open. He found himself surrounded by
group of grim, silent mutes, with
arms in their hands, and in twinkling
1t flashed into his mind that these were
the II chiefs of the Girondins whom
he had been warned to keep watch for.
He had come to catch a pigeon and had
caught crow He turned pale, and his
eyes dropped. "Who are-who are these
gentlemen" he stammered in ludi-
crously altered tone.
'Some volunteers of Quumpen, re.
turning home, replied Barbaroux, with
ironical smoothness.
"You have your papers, citizens?"
the mayor asked mechanically, and he
took a step back toward the door and
looked over his shoulder.
Here they are!' said Potion rudely,

BY RAIL TO THE MOON
Huntington Doesn't Think a Road
Will Be Built.
ABOUT THAT LITTLE BONUS
People In San Francisco Do Not
Seem to Know a Great Deal
About-it Is a S5o,Ooo.ooo
Undertaking Says Coils p.

San Francisco. Oct. s.-The proposed
Butte, Boise & San Francisco railroad
continues to be a leading topic OF con-
versation In the local banking and bus
mess circles. The statement made by
+. T. Woodwork OF Denver that San
Francisco was going to give bonus OF
25O0,000 to his new road was read
with amazement In this city. Nobody.
as far as can be ascertained. has heard
OF any movement to raise such bonus.
Woodworth's rash remark about a bo-
nus. following as II does on the heels
OF Moritz LIppman's statement that
the new road had already made ar
rangements for terminal facilities In
San Francisco and Oakland. has caus-
ed a number OF prominent people to
View the enterprise with distrust. And
yet they do not wish to do or say any
thing that may hamper these men IL
they are sincere in their efforts to build
road from Butte TO San Francisco.
The general opinion Is that Il Is best to
give Lippman and his associates plenty
OF time TO show their hands. IL, then,
It Is shown that the enterprise can be
carried to a successful issue the men
who are backing the enterprise will be
assured OF the hearty support OF san
Francisco.
c. p. Huntington said when asked
what he thought of the scheme:
what do think of the Butte, Boise &
San Francisco railroad scheme? Well.
l have just the same opinion about II
as would have about the construction
OF a road to the moon. Material Is
very cheap now. and yet It would cost
$50, ,000, 900 to build such line. Capital
Is very sensitive. and II would want to
know what sort OF an investment such
road would offer There Is no busl-
ness to amount to anything between
here and Butte. My credit is as good
In New York as the Bank Of England.
and yet could not borrow s5o,0Oo.Ooo
there to put into such road. have
been borrowing and handling money in
New York for IS years and I know
what I am talking about. Capital
wants returns on Its investments, and
a Butte-San Francisco road could never
answer that requirement. Why. for
the greater part Of the road there Is
no more business than on the Central
Pacific between Reno and Corlnne. The
latter stretch Of road might as wen be
built In the air as far as local business
Is concerned. I do not fear contra
diction when say that Lippman and
his associates would have to raise $780,
1000 to build any decent road with
good terminals. As a matter OF fact.
there are too many roads In the West
for the volume Of business"

that there could be no possible doubt
OF the earnestness OF the governor.
Governor Clark was In a most amlable
frame of mind and talked freely con-
cerning the latter phase OF the sltua-
ton. Il do not really know anything
about It," he began. but have heard
a great many rumors about schemes
to hold the contest In Arkansas. IL
looks. though. as II they meant TO
bring IL off at Hot Springs sure
enough. The fact that Mayor Waters
and City Attorney Martin of Hot
Springs. are In Dallas negotiating with
the managers OF the affair indicates
beyond doubt that Hot Springs
wants 1t and they will very likely get
H."
viii YOU interfere should they at
tempt to bring II OF there?"
MY position In that regard Is well
known. You may say that will do
everything in my power to prevent
the fight; that l will 20 as far as the
law. as II now stands. gives me hu-
thority to 20. and no farther. Mr..
Martin Is city attorney at Hot Springs
and Is a lawyer OF much ability. He
knows as well as myself or any one
else just how far my authority goes
and he seems TO have decided that |.
as an officer who has taken the oath
TO enforce the law as | find Il, will
go to the end of my authority and stop
them and that Is Just what I will do.
i am not disposed lust now. however.
to say what my action will be should
they attempt to bring the contest OF
In Arkansas. but you can say for me
that l would not convene the leglsla-
ture In special session to stop Il. IL
they were 10 fight In the state house
yard. I shall see the law enforced. but
Will not put the people to the ex-
pense of special session OF the legls-
lature TO prevent n misdemeanor and
then perhaps have the legislature re-
fuse to indorse the action. Were the
legislature TO be called l have little
reason to believe that the state law
would be changed. Nine OF the 10
senator's in the commission are mem
bers who voted for the law as 1t stands
now on the statute books"
Governor Clark stated that he had
no doubt that the local peace officers
would do their whole duty In the mat
ter should a violation OF the law be
threatened at Hot Springs or elsewhere
In Arkansas.
