Mr.. Harvey heard from Clarke, who
is at Lake Matumba, that the state
soldiers have beenin the vicinity of his
station recently, fighting and taking
prisoners; and he himself has seen
several men with punches of hands
signifying their individual kill. These,
presume, they must produce to prove
their successl Among tine hands were
those of men and women, and also
those OF little children. The mission
aries are so much at the mercy Of the
state that they do not report these
barbaric happenings to the people at
home. / have previously heard of
hands, among them children's, being
brought to the stations, but l was not
satisfied of the truth Of the former in
formation as of the reports received
Just now by Mr.. Harvey from Clarke.
Much Of this sort of thing is going on
at the Equator station. The methods
employed are not necessary. Years
ago, when was on duty at the Eqaa-
tor without soldiers, | never had any
difficulty in getting what men / need

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, Nob., who says: 81 have
used Salvation Oil and think there is
no liniment on earth like it. I had the
rheumatism for several months and
could get no relief until | used SAL
walton Oil, two bottles ofwhich effected
a cure, and I feel as well as ever. No
home should be without it," Salvation
Oil is sold everywhere for IS cents.
When dealers offer a substitute be-
ware, you'll be yictimized. Insist on
having the best, Salvation Oil.
