Among the numerous persons who
have been cured OF rheumatism by
Chamberlain's Pain Balm, mention
shonld be made of Mrs. Emily Thorne,
of Toledo, Wash, who says: "I have
never been able to procure any medicine
that would relieve me of rheumatism
like Cham berlain's Pain Balm. 1 have
also used it for lame back with great
success. 1t is the best liniment / have
ever used, and take pleasure in recon-
mending it to my friends" For sale by

not be nearly to the average. Stock,
Mr.. Knowles found, in splendid condi-
ton. Large purchases of cattle have
tana buyers. Joseph Shenberger and
Dan Nettleton bought over 1000 head of
cattle near Huntington and shipped
them to Montana. Parties from Omaha
have also made large purchases. Mr.
Knowles reports business reviving in all
localities and that during the last five
months his sales of medicine have
ranged between $1,000 and $4,000. He is
now on his way to Willamette valley. -
Mr.. Winans, who lives at the fisheries
above The Dalles, has in his possessionI
a stencil bearing the name of Captainl
Meriweather Lewis, who in company
with Clarke made the famous Lewis and
Clark expedition in 1904. The stencil
was used for marking the goods belong
ing to Capt. Lewis ana came into the
possession of the Winans family long
time ago. The relic is in good condition
and its ancient appearance tells mute
story of an early day when the North
west territory was unknown by white
man and echoed only the soft tread OF
the Indian, as he carelessly wandered in
pursuit of the chase or revelled in deadly
warfare. Mr.. W1nans has promised to
ship the stencil to a relative of Capt.
Lewis in the East, who wishes to look at
it and promises faithfully to return it..
The express company will be given in
structions not to let it go from the Office,
so richly is it treasured by its owner.

Special to the HERALD.

Sacramento, Feb. 21-Both the Senate
and the Assembly were very busy all day
passing bills to third reading and enact
ing number of them into laws. The
military bill, synopsis of which was sent
The Herald yesterday, is now complete
aud will be reported to both houses on
Monday. 1t provides that the militia
shall not exceed seventy companies of
which sixty shall belong to the artillery
and infantry arms of the service, five to
the naval reserve, and the other five shall
be distributed to such arm of the service
as a board of officers may direct All
staff officers must be residents of the
state and must have served at least two
years in the National Guard or volunteer
service of the United States. Each COM
pany shall consist of not less than fifty
nor more than 100 and three officers (non-
commi ssioned officers and privates) which
must include one commissioned officer,
and may include one captain one first
lieutenant, one second lieutenant and
minor officers. The number of brigades
is reduced from six to three. Anyone dis
honorably discharged from the militia is
disfranchsed for one year after such dis
ShdiSC. IL 10 ploDdblc ullib all cllOlJ Will
be made to extend the clause requiring the
two years service for staff officers, as it
would bar many good soldiers, it is
claimed who were in the regular army.
Reports of the committees that visited
the insane asylum home for the feeble
minded children and veterans home,
were made today in the Senate. The re-
port cuts down the appropriation asked
for over 500, 900. 1t calls attention to the
large number of foreign persons in insane
asylums, who far outnumber the natives.
OF the Veterans Home at Yountville it
says the management of the home has
improved, but still many changes are
needed. 1t recommends the adjustment
OF the San Francisco office as useless
expense and thinks that by greater care
expenses can be greatly reduced.
AT Seymour's own request his bill to
create board of corrections and charities
went over until next Wednesday.
Delegations have wired supervisors for
lists of the salaries of chief deputies and
principal subordinates in all county Of
fees. This expected reply will be re-
ceived tonight and at 10 o'clock Friday
morning the committee will meet and fix
salaries for insertion in the county goy-

charges have been made against the con-
struction and repair departments at the

commission has been ordered here by
the Secretary of the Navy. A report re-
Gently made by Admiral Beardslee is said
to be the cause of the investigation.
The Admiral's report has never been
made public. 1t is limited that poor and
cheap material and poor workmanship
have characterized recent repairs made
at Mare Island. The cruiser Phiadel-
phia, the gunboats Yorktown and the
cruiser Boston, all of which are reported
disabled, were very recently overhauled
at Mare Island. The Bennington, which
is en- route from San Diego to Colombia,
is crippled and will be held at Acapulco
for repairs The Yorktown, which is on
the China station, is also crippled. The
Boston is again back at Mare Island un-
dergoing repairs. The Philadelphia, on
which over $50, 900 were expended at Mare
Island, broke down on her first cruise
after leaving the yards. She was badly
beaten on her cruise to Honolulu by the
Oceanic steamer Australia. Her sea-
board engine was disabled and her port
engine badly strained. Admiral Boards
lee reported these facts to Washington,
the Bulletin asserts, and accompanying
this report were severe structures on the
methods prevailing at Mare Island.
