ANY one who has ever had IN at
tack of inflammatory rheumatism
will rejoice with Mr.. J. A. Stumm,
220 Boyle Heights, Los Angeles.
over his fortunate escape from q
siege of that distressing ailmcnt.
Mr.. Stumm is foreman of Meraiam's
confectionery establishment. Some
months ago, on leaving the heated
work room to run across the street
on an errand, he was caught out in
the raiiii. The result was that when
ready to go homo that night he was
unable to walk, owing TO inGamma-
tory rheumatism. lie was taken
home, and on arrival was placed in
front of a good fire and thoroughly
rubbed with Chamberlain's Pain
Balm. During the evening and
night he was repeatedly bathed with
this liniment, and by morning was
relieved of all rheumatic pains. lie
now takes especial pleasure in prais-
ing Chamberlain's Pain Balm, and
always keeps q bottle of il in the
house. For sale by VIM. +. Green

/ A crime. which in some of it's
phases resem bles the murder of Sal
lie Dean, in Caroline county, was
perpetrated in Virginia some years
ago.
A young girl was murdered, her
body being almost literally hacked
to pieces, but the murderer was
never apprehended, and though q
man was arrested as asuspect, moth
ing could be proved against him
and ne was discharged. The ar.
rest, too, did not take place until
some months after the crime was
committed, and was caused by a
strange Circumstance which might
have been coincidence, but which
was regarded by those who knew of
it, as a direct dispensation of prov
idence.
The murder was committed in
mountain county of Virginia, near
Il little village called Foraham, and
created the greatest excitement not
only in the county, but throaghoE.
the entire State. The gfri.s- funsi
ly was not particularly prominent,
but the mystery surrounding the
murder and its atrocity all combin-
ed TO make it one of the most talk
ed-of happenings ter years. 1t was
the only murder that was ever COM
mitted in that section up to that
time. and as the people had just
settled down to a state of peace and
quiet, after the turbulent war times,
it was all the more of sensation
on this account.
The most sensational part of the
affair, however, was that a local
preacher, in order to ferret out the
murderer of the girl, prayed that
the wrath of God might be visited
upon not only the young woman's
slayer, but upon anyone harboring
him. Strange to say, this prayer
was answered, or was so considered
to be, and it was through this means
that an arrest was made.
