Mexico, and W. a. Dering, arrived here

They came by rail from the City OF
Mexico, the post of the distinguished Eng

with dark hair, a browuish beard tapering
toward point, and with a large nose.
He is very pleasant, affable gentleman.
Sir Henry has held many posts of great
distinction prior to going to Mexico.
year and half ago. He has been thirty
six years the representative of his country
in foreign lands. He has been in Bulgaria,
of Great Britain and charge d 'affaires.

Monterey and will visit other places of in

This is the first time 1 have been in this
country.
"Mexico is very prosperous. One reason
is that it has honest men at the head of
the Government. President Diaz is also
exceedingly able as well as honest. l think

Another very capable man is Minister
of Finance LimantoUr. He is a man of
vast wealth. He owns large property in

result is that Mexico is splendidly gov

Business is good down there. 1t could
not be otherwise when the purchasing

wonder the country is prosperous. 1t will
continue TO be so, too.
"Mexico has always had silver money,
and the way she gives silver and takes gold
gives her a natural protection. 1t is the
very best protection, too, that country
could have. Wouldn't such a policy be
good for any country? Yes, think it
would, especially If it could be carried out

After the Chinch Bugs.

From the jefferson City Tribune.
Chinch bugs have made their APP
pearance in Vernon county in alarm
ing numbers and the farmers have ap-
piled to the dean of the Agricultural
College for bugs inoculated with some
fatal disease as a @ OF killing off
the new crop. This plan has worked
well thesp past two or three years in
various parts of the State. All that is
required of a farmer whose crops are
threatened with chinch bugs is to Sc
cure a box or can of live bugs-an
empty baking powder a is recon-
mendoza and forward the same to the
dean of the Agricultural College at
Columbia. He will receive the can
back in return with diseased or dead
chinch bugs in it. He can then catch
some more healthy bugs and eonfine
them for a short time with the dis
eased or dead bugs, and then turn
them loose in the swarm on his farm
and they will do the rest. The disease
will spread with great rapidity and in
a short time all the bugs will be killed
The only expense is express charges
The diseased bugs are furnished free
of cost.

case, however, with the usual treat

Notwithstanding the great progress
made in many branches of medicine,
the doctors have failed absolutely to

their origin in the blood. They give

His Maiden Speech.
From the Chicago Tribune

49, 49, fA
The rising young politician had pre-
pared an elaborate speech for this
occasion. He rose in response to loud
calls for him and he felt on his inside
pocket for the manuscript. 1t was
gone. 1t had slipped through a hole
in the bottom.
The situation was a terrible one, but
the self-possession of the rising young
politician did not forsake him. Let
ting his hand remain IN the breast OF
his coat he looked fearlessly out over
the assembly.
"My fellow citizens" he said, 81
have mono words in which to express
my thanks for the honor you have
done me in selecting me as n oil
your standard bearers in this cam
paign, and I will simply ask you to
Join me-"
He was interrupted by d~eafening
cheers, in which the other orators on
the platform heartily joined.
The situation was still more terrible,
He had intended merely to propose
three cheers for the ticket, but the
audience had jumped hastily to the
conclusion that he was extending an
invitation of another kind.
Still he did not lose his head.
81 see, fellow citizens" he resumed
with a smile, as soon as he could make
himself heard again, "you understand
me. Come onl"
He seized his hat and the meeting
adjourned at once to the saloon on
the floor below. He had made the hi

has lifted thousands from beds of sick
ness. 1t does what nothing else ever
did for the sleepless, the dyspeptic,
and the Respondent ii cures them
for once and for all.
Here is a testimonial from Mr.. f. A.
Miller, of Columbus, o., accompany
ing the photograph of his family:
"For two years past l have been a
constant sufferer with severe nervous
headaches, oftimes being compelled
to 70 to bed, when my business ne
cessitated my personal attention.
Last week my physician recommend
ed Paine's celery compound. | have
taken now four bottles, and have not
suffered with headache since. This
government, in my mind, should pay
the discoverer of Paine's celery COM
pound a sum of money sufficient to
keep him and al,his relatives in luxury
during their natural Iife."
Mr.. Miller is the son of DR.. j. d.
Miller. His wife is the granddaugh-
ter of the late Gov. Lucas, of Ohio.

There is no spring remedy equal to
Paine's celery compound.
Sufferers from debility who find
their convalescence too slow are joy

toward recovery that comes from
Paine's celery compound. Its heal

No relapses come when Paine's cek

it's healthful action.
With a stronger appetite, sounder
sleep, and better digestion (results
that every one has experienced who
has taken Paine's celery compound)
the weak and sore kidneys and the
tired stomach cease to trouble, and
the nerves allow one to work unvexed
by day and to sleep by night without
disturbance. This is what physicians
mean when they say that Paine's cell

CLARA BARTON REPORTS.
How Her Relief Work is Progressing
in Asia Minor.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, May -MissC Tiara
Barton has drawn up q statement, of
which the following is a part, regard
ing the progress of her relief work in
ASIA Minor:
1t should be understood that one OBJ
ject of our expeditions in the field at
this time is the helping Of the people
to cultivate their land and get crops
off that they may subsist in the near
future and through the winter, or
their condition of hunger and threat
ened starvation will be as great or
greater than now. To this end our
two expeditions have been several
weeks purchasing in the cities the
farming implements in general use by
the people and carrying them to the
villages and farm lands of the country
where all implements have been either
destroyed or taken.
1t is understood that the Govern
ment has expressed a desire to take
part in providing seed for planting.
Indian corn Cor maize) is one article
distributed for food by our people, and
it can be planted if no seed is pro-
vided. The two expeditions are en-
route for Harpoot by different ways,
providing the farmers as they go.
Money for this purpose is being freely
sent from here.
The other object, and perhaps the
one appealing more directly to the
sympathies of the people, is the hand
ling of the medical relief of the two
fever stricken cities of Zeitoun and
Marash, where eight to ten thousand
people are suffering the agonies of
four distinct epidemics raging among
them at once-typhoid and typhus
fever, dysentery and small pox. The
first three would naturally follow as
the conditions of starvation and hard
ships and the putrid atmosphere of
the neglected field of siege and battle
with fostering wounds and long un-
buried dead. The small pox must
have been brought from some infected
district. For the treatment of these
thousands there are no physicians
left; if they escaped one f. they aeeyS s;cciii
/ by another. A few holy missionary
women and men, with names to hence
forth form a part of the history of this
miserable field, end one lorn doctor,
dividing himself between three cities,
seven miles apart, like poor Casa
blanca, stood at their posts.
More physicians are on the way ano
others Ire being procured to report te
DR.. Harris, who has to-day taken 6
part of his men to Zeitoun, twelve
miles distant, where 5000 were report
ed i'll. The result of his investigation
can only reach us later. In all ASH
Minor there is no other organized
body of medical relief.

UNDER THE CIVIL SERVICE.
Thirty Thousand Governed Employees
Added to the Classified List.

WASHINGTON, May 6.-The long ex-
pected order of the President includ-
ing in the civil service most of the
offices now remaining outside OF the
classified service, was issued this
afternoon. Practically the only per-
sons left outside of the civil service
will be assistant secretaries, heads OF
bureaus and, in a few cases, private
secretaries and laborers. The orderis
to take effect Immediately.
1t is stated by the civil service COM
mission that the new order adds 9,39s
positions to the classified list, increas-
ing the number of classified positions
from 55,736 to s5,135. The number Of
classified places which are excepted
from examination has been reduced
from 2,Os9 to 775, being mainly posi-
tions as cashiers in the customs, pos
tai and internal revenue services. In
dams employed in minor capacities in
the Indian service are necessarily put
in the excepted list. Almost all of the
positions in Washington, which have
heretofore been excepted, have beer
included.

BOIES' o o BOOSTED.
Ninety-Nine Counties Elect 238 Sill

Delegates.

OTTUMwA, To-, MayS.-There is now
no question but that Iowa Democrats
will declare for silver and Boies for
President. Thirty-three out of ninety
nine counties have selected 23S silver
and So gold delegates, nearly all in
structed. The same counties last year
sent 1872 silver and 204 gold delegates.
Federal office-holders were turned
down 10 day in Keokuk and at the
jefferson County primaries. These
were heretofore the strongest gold
counties and silver delegations to the
county conventions were selected and
instructed. Gold men concede their
defeat at Dubuque.
Secretary Walsh, OF Iowa, and
Chairman H~inrichsen, of Illinois, are
now working to secure the Illinois
delegation for silver, with the under
standing that Boies is to be Endorsed.
Assurances have been received from
Governor Stone that Missouri will be
for Boies after Bland, and from ex-
Congressman Bryan that Nebraska
sentiment is for the Iowa ex-Gover-
nor first. Consequently a letter from
Boies announcing his candidacy il
confidently looked for soon by
those to whom he has tacitly admitted
that he would run.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have a rum
bling sound Or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten Ire caused by catarrh, which
is nothing but an infiamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
