These Are Suggestions of
Value to Amy Reader at
the Present Time.

vestment, you look carefully and
learn the value of the thing in which

so?
''if you are run down, sickly, weak,
suffering from a severe cold. rheuma-
tism or other complaint, you feel that
you must invest in something to
restore your to health and happi-
ness.
"Can You not see that such an in
vestment is more important than any
other. and can you not see that Sc
curing the best, most reliable, and
that which has the highest stan ding
and best endorsements is always the
best investment.

Cheap Horse Flesh.

The day of the horse-the common
plug-has gone in this country never
to return. An enterprising Nevada
speculator has sent an invoice of tails
and names to the San Francisco mar
ket, and if there is renqperative de-
mand for them he proposes to en-
bark more extensively in the business
There are thousands of horses on the
ranges whose names and tails may be
utilized in this way, but the animals
are worth nothing for any other pur-
pose. Canning horse flesh for table
use is also an Oregon and Indiana in
dustry which has attained some pro-
porti MS, but how profitable we are
not correctly advised. The carcasses
of horses have also been turned into
fertilizers by factories in Ohio, Ill
inois and other states.

A Test Ca Sc.

Monday Richard Schweiss, pro-
prietor of the California brew cry, was
arrested for refusing to pay license,
says the Virginia Enterprise. Mr..
Schweiss refused to pay because of
the vague character of the law passed
by the last legislature, and it was
with the understanding that test of
the law should be made that he was
arrested. About two months ago an
association was dissolved because if
they so won it would so cripple the
financial condition of the county. A
number of saloon men are standing in
with Schweiss, and if he wins his case
those who have not already paid will
not be obliged to pay their licenses.
Mr. Schweiss furnished bond as soon
as the papers were served upon him
and he was of course allowed to re-
main at liberty.

900 head of sheep from California

The ranchers sold their hay at fair
price to the owners of those sheep.
The license act caused all those sheep
to remain on the west side of the State
line and consequently there is very
little demand for hay.

LITTLE KENTUCKY.
1t May Some Day BE Claimed as
Part of Tennessee.

Little Kentucky, as it might be dub
bed very appropriately. is located oppo-
site Island No. TO- where Kentucky and
Tennessee meet. The river, by gradu-
ally cutting out the Kentucky bank,
had worn off a narrow strip OF land,
until one bright morning several people
who lived on this side OF the line woke
up to find themselves on the other side
In other words. the swift current had
washed away the neck of earth which
made the extreme southwestern corner
of this state a part of the common
wealth of Kentucky. The section of ter
ritory thus separated from its parent,
as it were, is ten miles long and five
miles wide-quite a good mouthful to
take in at one bite, even for the greedy
Mississippi.
Every well-posted river man and ev-
cry person who is acquainted with the
geography and topography of this state
will understand how such a thing could
happen. Right at the state line the
river forms a loop about ten miles
long. The loop extends up into Fulton
county. The swift stream has simply
drawn this moose tight and formed an
island out on what was formerly a
peninsula. Hickman is the closest town
of any size to the place where all this
landmaking occurred. DarneII, a little
hamlet over in Obion county, Tennes-
see, is quite near the spot.
The boundary line between Kentucky
and Tennessee has always been rather
complicated down about Island No 10,
owing to the particular bend in the
Mississippi mentioned above. The
lakes. bayous and sloughs which bes4t
that corner of Fulton county in all di.
rections also serve to mix matters. The
biting off Of such a large strip of soil
will add to the general confusion, and
the question may arise as to whether

Rhodes VIII Return

LONDON, Feb. IAN editorial in

We are enabled to make the impor-
tant announcement that arrangements
concerning the affairs of the chartered
South African company have been pro-
visionally settled. Hon. Cecil Rhodes
will return Immediately and take I'D
Of the settlement are unObtainable at
present. This will doubtless disap-
point some people who had promised
themselves the pleasure of bailing
him, but recent sensational incidents
have not been allowed by either Mr..
Rhodes or Mr.. Chamberlain to obscure
the fundamental problem which i'm
perial statesma nship has to solve in
South Africa. The historical summary
in Mr.. Chamberlain's dispatch makes
it tolerably clear that the general
views Of the government do not depend
upon the elucidation of such points as
Dr.. JamesOn'5 trial may be expected
to clear up. It's treatment alike Of
the chartered South Africa company
and the question pending with the
Transvaa1 is so far determined by
broader considerations that the de-
cisions in which Mr.. RhodeA is espec-
tally interested have been already prac-
tically taken.
A most important and interesting
portion Of the dispatch is the invita-
ton to President Kruger to come to
England. He may be sure of cordial
welcome.

trial of the members of the reform

Jacobus Demoillon testified that the

fields offices on December 20, and men
were enlisted.
Colonel Rhodes, the brother of Cecil
Rhodes, has told him that the Uft-

prosperous condition, and it was hard
for them to be governed by the stupid
Beers. Colonel Rhodes told him further
that they had asked DR.. Jameson to
come 20 johannesburg to preserve the
peace and protect them. Later he
heard Mr.. Leonard, whose arrest the
Cape Town authorities sought to effect
at Teneriffe, Canary Islands, the other
day, on his way to England, make q
speech to the crowd in which he said:
1--WE do not have equal rights with
the Beers. Our petitions are treated
with contempt. We now demand our
rights with our arms in our hands.
We want a republican government and
not the autocratic government at

POISON IN THE BLOOD.
Which is the Direct cause of Rheu-
matism, and in Fact of Most
Physical Troubles.

These are trying times"
The speaker was middle aged man
and father of quite a family.
Il don't refer to business he. con-
tinued. but to the trying weather. I
have a severe attack Of rheumatism.
my wife has a bad cold and the rest OF
the family are not we'll
Il know it is common thing TO lay
all these troubles to the weather but
1 have come to the conclusion that the
condition of the system has much to
do with it. If the man who has rheu-
matism and the woman who has a cold
will trace back for the cause, it will be
found in some weakness OF the body
"And do you know what I think the
greatest weakness in the body is?
will tell you. 1 believe it is due to the
uric acid, which is in the blood, keep
ing it fermented all the time. I know
that 1T causes rheumatism and I be-
lteve most colds"
You naturally ask how does this uric
acid get into the blood. The answer is
very simple. The kidneys do not do
their duty and throw it from the sys-
tenn as they should, and therefore, it
remains in the blood and I believe that
II uric acid were removed from the
blood, most rheumatism and colds
would disappear"
The gentleman was right. and he
might have added that Bright's disease
OF the kidneys is also brought about by
this same cause. Is it not plain to be
seen that if the kidneys are strong and
healthy and throw the uric acid out of
the system, it will not get into the
blood and so poison the muscles and
joints and cause rheumatism, or decay
the kidneys and cause Bright's disease.
There has never been but one known
for all the troubles Of the kid
neys, and that is Warmers Safe Cure.
