Some Peoples Folly.

Why some persons will suffer with
the eXcruciating pangs of rheumatism,
when they can be SO easily cured by
that greatest of ~pain-cures, Salvation
Oil, IS past human comprehension.
That Salvation Oil does cure rheuma-
tism is evidenced by Mr.. G. F. Schra-
der, Pierce, Neb., who says: 81 have
used Salvation Oil and think there is
no iniment on earth like it. I had the
rheumatism for several months and
could get no relief until [ used Sal
walton Oil, two bottles of which effected
a cure, and 1 feel as well as ever. No
home should be without it," Salvation
Oil is sold everywhere for 25 cents.
When dealers offer a substitute be-
ware, you'll be victimized. Insist on
having the best, Salvation Oil.

So Died a Hero.

A few DAYS ago we published
the sad story of a young profess
.sor, wounded to the death in the
machinery at Clemson Collge, S.
c sending a message announce
ing his approaching end to his
old preceptor, Gen. Stephen
D.. Lee,in Alabama, and receiving
a loving farewell in return. We
republish to day from the Nor
folk Virginian an account of En-
gineer Will James dying adieu
to his former chief. Capt. v. E.
McBee-a message pathetic for
the very courage OF it: 4 will
die this morning from injuries
received in railroad accident"
The engineer had made his last
run, and at that supreme hour
his heart yearned for the APP
proval and sympathy which he
knew his friend and superior Of
fcer of other days would accord
him. In this republic where we
have no royalty, men do homage
only to heroes, such as the brave
engineer who daily takes his life
in his hand. To those who knew
him, Will James was an ideal
engineer. A man of splendid
physique, fine looking, fearless,
swift but sure, he lived the ideal
engineer; he died the ideal engi>
neer, In the widest spot on his
mountain run, he lost his life.
1t seems fitting that such a man
as he should go to meet his God
from such a place rs that cut at
Knob, where the iron
road tolls around and around the
forbidding mountains side
until at last, in glee and triumph,
it mounts the giants shoulder,
thence. 1uns smoothly on into
the river vale beyond. There
is always the reminder in this
picturesque place that here sci-
and skill have overcome ma
ture and received the reward of
success, as Jacob in the olden
day wrestled with the angel until
be won the wlshed-for blessing.
Here man has asked of God and
received, and here, we chose to
believe, God heard the prayer of
he dying engineer for mercy on
his soul. The brave man's wife
aud little child haye a rich in |
leritance in the honor of his
lame.-Charlotte Observer.

GENTLEMEN when 1 wrote you
the latter part of December, my
mother was, according to the honest
belief of three physicians, on her
deathbed; she could not retain either
food or medicine on her stomach, and
1t did not seem reasonable to think
there was anything but death to re-
lieve her. The doctors informed us
she had a cancer in the lower bowel
and there was no cure for her. She
showed such vitality for a person to
be SO near death we thought there
must be something to help her, and
reading of others being saved by the
use of your s. S. S., we thought it
would do no harm, if not some good,
to try it, so we informed her of her
condition, just as the doctors had IN
formed us, and left it with her to try
your remedy OF not, as she saw fit.
She concluded to try it and from the
first dose or two, she began to brighten
up, and improve; she can now get up,
dress and help herself, and can eat
everything or anything she want and
no distress from it. We all feel quite
hopeful that the cancer will pass away
in due time by the use of your S. S. S.,
which she viii now gladly take. You
may make this letter as public as you
choose, and the more sc the better, as
too much praise a not be given your
valuable remedy.
Yours truly,

Warlike Preparations.

Norfolk, Va, November 23.-
The activity in mounting new
guns and making other improve
ments at Fort Monroe has excit-
ed great interest in view of war
rumors now prevalent. Col. Roy.
81 L. Frank. Commandant of
Fort Monroe, in an interview to-
day, disclains any knowledge
that these improvements indicate
trouble with Spain, and declares
without foundation the report
that he has been ordered to lave
the fort in readiness for defence
by December 1st. By that date.
however. the new battery of three
ten-inch disappearing rifles will
have been completed. aud a
month later, by order Of Secre-
tary Lamont, one of the most
formidable mortar batteries on
the coast, consisting of sixteen
mortars, mounted in groups of
four, behind concrete, bomb
proof emplacements, will also
have been completed. This will
make this fort modern in all re.
spects and practically impreg-
nable to any such feet as Spain
might bring against it in the
event of d war with that coun>
try. While the stone wall of the
old fort might be demolished by
a continuous and prolonged can
nonading, the new heavy guns
could destroy a fleet before this
could be done. He believes the
fort could hold its own and u
cessfully contest the passage Of
Hampton Roads by a foreign en- j.
envy.

Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1896-06-02

by this day can be discerned by all.
Amid chaos the country struggled into
more permanent being. Disasters en-
riched her. In strife more than in
.assitude she developed her latent
forces, and the red rain of blood brought
forth a harvest of devotion immortal
In our annals.
The spirit Of those days was rude,
but she evoked great men to control
them, and as one surveys the list of
heroes, the question forces itself: when
shall we look upon their like AGAIN."
Peace has dangers no less great than
those of strife, and sometimes the more
to be dreaded because the less to be
discerned. The rights and privileges
purchased for us during the past CEN
fury and half are ours to keep, in
crease and bequeath to those who come
after us. Now, shall we not act so as
to earn, IL not the soldiers glorious
wreath, at least a modest flower of re-
membrance for the maintenance of
right?
For IL Washington and Lincoln could
ride at the head of every festal pro-
cession in this nation on May 30, they
would cry aloud Maintain! Main
tain! Let your birthright. purchased in
blood, be kept in undefiled security"
Decoration Day bears one last word
Of testimony to our peaceful unity and
solidarity as a nation. "Irrepressible"
conflicts are rerressed. schisms are
healed, localities and sectionalism lost
sight Of in the truer, saner view this
day affords. East and West, North and
South are as indivisible in that COM
mon sentiment of American patriotism
which no party discussions can dis
turb as are Rhode Island and Connec-
ticut. Express trains have abolished
physical barriers; mutual dependence
In commerce facilitates an already nat
ural intercourse. Between ocean and
ocean lives a mighty race, whose guild
ing forces and aspirations are a unit
One law, one element, one blood, and,
one language.
And as the watchers OF God look
down on hill and hamlet, on mighty
seas, and over great shoulders of noun
sains. right down on the spots thirty
years ago crimsoned with strife and
