Dreadful
Rheumatism.

No disease has puzzled the doctors
80 completely as rheumatism-that de-
plorab1e condition of the blood which
SO often renders the strongest man as
helpless as a babe. Their mercurial
and potash remedies may in some
cases impart temporary relief, but are
sure to ultimately result in wrecking
the entire system.
rheumatism is a deep-seated blood
disease and only real blood remedy
will have any effect whatever upon
1t. Most of the so-ca11ed blood RENE
dies are at best only tonics and cam
not reach an obstinate blood trouble.
One of the most frequent symptoms OF
rheumatism is a tingling sensation OF
the parts affected, generally brought
about from lack of free circulation
of the blood through the very small
blood conductors. This trouble is all
ways eliginat ted hv +!1e nee -
it Trims the blood, gives 1t free and
forcible circulation, destroys the pois-
onous microbes and restores the circu-
lation to it's normal condition.
Mr.. Robert H. King, prominent
and influential citizen of West Point,
Va, writes of his experience with this
dread disease:
"About five years ago I was great
sufferer from rheumatism. l was
treated by all the leading physicians

part of the wife Virginia Harned) did
really good work. She has had neither the
experience nor is she the age of the divine

Americans, ought to be proud of. And
yet the critics continually say: Sarah

have staged the play poorly; she would
have had a miserable company; and she

seen her do magnificent work, and / have
seen her slur her work, here in New

dare to do. She is invariably lily support

age them. and not keep up the continual
cry of Nine. Bernhardt' every time

James Walters was arrested on Monday
and is now in the county jail serving out
fine and costs amounting to SIS. The
charge against him was assault on the
person of c. VI. Rowland, a basket max.
er. but the provoration was SO agsravat,
ing that considerable sympathy is felt
for him. Walters has an attractive and
estimable sister for whom Rowland con-
ceived a most tender and persistent pas
sion. The young lady and the entire
family were constantly annoyed by his
opportunities. lie would frequently send
when he finally got TO tyiug them on u
the Walters dog that settled it, For
bearance then ceased to be \ virtue, ac-
cOrding to the view taken bv James
Walters, and when he met Rowland in
the cleaning back ui the St Paul x
Tacoma Lumber ward, he proceeded to
knock great hunks OF love out OF him in
a manner that would have done credit to
a professional pusii.st. The main trouble
with Walters vas that he carried his cure
for love sickness too lar, aud after knock
ing Rowland down proceeded TO tread
and jump upon him with his heavy boots
until his appearance VAS SO changed that
his nearest relatives could have recog-
nized him only With difficulty. The
tender passion no longer burns so brightly

in thickness; the next is soap stone of a
very fine quality, free from grit, Of about
five feet in thickness. Immediately be-
meath this is the oil rock. 1t has the
appearance OF dark sand, but is easily
recognizable as the character Of forma-
ton which carries petroleum. From the
lower side of the soap stone to the bottom
Of the we'll distance OF about 80 feet,
this substance is continuous, but varies
somewhat in color, being lighter at the
bottom than when first struck, upon get
ting through the sand stone.
In the well itself, which is about 75
feet in depth, is about two feet OF water !;
this is of good quality. The gentleman
who had the well dug, and is in charge
of the premises, informed me however,
that it vas when first struck. black and
thick and that it had an oily scum on
top. took a sample of sand from the
well, about four feet above the water, and
upon being subjected to test, it showed
a scum on top of the water. The soap
stone contains evidence of fossils.
Undoubtedly oil has not been struck
in this well in any quantity, yet
there are unmstaksble evidences of pc
troleum. My judgment is that the oil
bearing stratum discovered here is a
float.
would recommend that if any boring
for oil be done, that the location be fixed
at point farther up the valley although
1t cannot be said that it might not he dis
covered in quantity in this very well
because the stratum which carries the
oil has not been penetrated.

Senator Gesh,s Medical BiIi.

Senator Lesh has introduced bill in
the legislature defining the dnties of
accouchers and physicians" which has
raised the ire of medical men. 1t com
pels physicians to answer any call made
by any INDECENT person precisely as If that
party we're rolling in wealth, the first
visit being without compensation. The
physician is then required to report the
case to the county authorities and all
services rendered thereafter are charge
able to the county, which is made liable
therefore. The physicians designate the
bill as a scheme to benefit deadbeats, as
they claim that the person might never
call upon the physician making the first
visit second time and in that way de.
fraud every physician in the town. The
following from the Seattle Times will
throw some light on the measure: II
happen to know something about this
BILL" said a well known man who has
just returned from Olympia. 1T was
introduced by Senator Lesh at the earn
est request of certain petitioners from
Yakima county. Over there two or three
confinement cases resulted fatally among
the poorer element of the people because
the physicians, first one and then the
other, declined to respond to the call.
These physicians knew they would get
no money out of the call and so refused
to 90. Other similar cases, in accident,
sickness and emergency calls, are cited.
Senator Lesh introduced the bill in re-
spouse to the petition Of certain Of his con-
stltuents."

We are strongly in favor Of postal
savings banks for the use OF the people
Of small means and incomes. A safe
place OF deposit is sadly needed In ev-
cry county and section, especially Of
the South and West. In the East,
where population is large and savings
banks are established, they may not
be 20 much needed as in the other sec
tons, though doubtless they would
prove advantageous there. But In tho
agricultural communities and In COM
munities where labor is employed, like
Asheville for instance, q place Of safe
deposit for small daily or weekly earn
ings would be of great advantage to
the Individual and the community. The
daily earnings of those In Asheville
working for wages or salaries amount
to some thousands Of dollars. The ex-
penditures Of no person ought to aver
age the entire income per day. There
should be something saved, however
small, but the more the better, out Of
every days wage or salary. Farmers
have sums more or less from time to
