Mr.. D. P. Davis, a prominent
liveryman and merchant of Goshen,
Va, has this to say on the subject
of rheumatism; Il take pleasure
in recommending Chamberlain's
Pain Balm for rheumatism, as |
know from personal experience
that it will do all that is claimed
for it. A year ago this spring my
brother was laid up in bed with
infanmatory rheumatism and
suffered intensely. The first ap.
plication Of Chamberlain's Pain
Balm eased the pain and the use Of
one bottle completely cured him."

Fraudulent School Warrants

The school board of Union is
greatly exercised over the discovery
that school warrants to the amount
of about $3.50 have been forged and
placed in circulation. The discov-
cry was made by Clerk C. E. Coch-
ran, Ewhile checking up warrants
that had been cancelled. The Scout
says that investigation indicates
that one Charles n Wiley, a young
man Mr.. Cochran had in his em-
ploy is the guilty man. He had
the confidence of Mr.. Cochran, and,
during:the absence of:his employer,
it seems, put in his time writing
out and forging the name of the
clerk to the warrants. He sold the
entire amount of his fraudulent
warrants to Levy Bros, of Union,
who bought and sold them again
in entire good faith. The loss will
tall upon them.

Women Question in the Church.

women question IN the Church.
The fight over the admission Of
women delegates to the Methodist
conference at Cleveland, Ohio, is
growing bitter. The German dele
gates, it is said, are leading the op-
position. Some of them have said
that if the four women who have
been elected delegates are admitted,
all the German lay members Of
the church will secede. The Ger
mans have issued a strong protest
against the admission Of the women
and some of the prominent minis
ters recognize the fact that theTop.
position threatens the unity Of the
church.
Bishop Fowler. of Minneapolis,
says:
THE Germans are very deter.
mined in what they undertake, and
their opposition in this matter is
very stlong. For that reason |
think the women will be denied
admission"
Rev G. W. Cue, of Portland, O.,
says:
This women question is being
agitated by lot of women who
want to wear bloomers and not by

A Drunkard's 8 Luck


While the east bound passenger
train was running along at lively
rate, about two miles west of Gas :
cade Locks, Wednesday night, the
engineer was Mortified to see man
lying with his head on one Of the
rails, apparently asleep, says The
Dalles Times -Mountaineer. To
stop the engine before it reached
the sleeping figure was impossible,
but the train was brought to as
sudden standstill as possible, and
the engineer and fireman climbed
out of the cab, expecting to find
the mangled form of a man under
meath the cars, In this they were
disappointed, for when they got
back to where the man was, he was
scrambling up the side of the track
protesting against having been so
rudely awakened, though, for a
wonder, he was not injured in the
least. He had been to the Cas-
cades the day before, where he had
imbibed too freely, and laid down
to sleep off the effects of his spree,
with his head resting on bundle
Of clothes which he had placed on
one Of the rails. How the cow
catcher knocked him away without
killing him is mystery, and can
only be explained by the fact that
be was drunk, and a drunken man
can't be killed.
