The
Ri8htRenledy

The disastrous effects OF potash ana
mercury, which the doctors always pre-
scribe for Contagious Blood Poison,
should convince anyone that these are
not the proper remedies for this horrible
disease. Instead of forcing the poison
from the system, and getting rid of it
forever, potash and mercury only bottle
it up, and by driving in the outward
appearance of the disease, induce the
patient to think he is being cured. But
he sees his mistake before long, when
his joints become stiff and his bones
ache-often his hair will fall out by the
handful and if he follows the doctors
advice and continues to take his medi-
cine, his finger nails will drop off.
There is a cure for this destructive
disease, though no doctor has ever yet
cured it. Ofco1rse they may pronounce
a patient cured, but the disease has
never failed to return, with increased
severity. SIS. (Swift's Specific, is a
permanent cure, and is the only remedy

OBSTINACY.
California Widow Would Have a
Road Paved with Gold.

Notwithstanding the fabulous
wealth of the Klondike region it
cannot boast of a road paved with
gold as can California The Bear
State has plenty of extravagant citi-
zens, but it remained for widow and
widower of Sonoma county to commit
the crowning act of folly, which fur
nished that locality with a public thor
Oughfare Of the New Jerusalem style.
1t was a case of sheer obstinacy.
John Johnson, a widower, of Bloom
field, wished to improve the road from
his home to the village Of Valley
ford. For this purpose he received
permission from widow Martha Jones
to take rock from a hillside on her
farm
While carting the rock he noticed
what seemed to be specks of gold
shining in the sunlight Seeming
wealth, he sent samples to San Fran
cisco to be essayed and learned that
the stone he was building his road
with was gold-bearing quartz worth
from So to $40 a ton.
Then he sought the window and,
pointing out the fortune which seemed
to be hidden in the hill, proposed to
share the cost and profit of develop
ment. But tie widow was coy finan-
cially as well as sentimentally She
did not believe in Johnson or his gold
mine yarn, and in the language of
the Bowery ''trun 'em down hard.%
Her permission had been given to
put the rock on the road, and that
was all she cared to have done with
it.
Johnson was furious, but he saw
his opportunity. The widow had given
the rock for the road-on the road it
should go even if it were worth $10O
a ton. So all summer long Johnson's
wagons worked until four miles of
road were built, but the widow didn't
weaken.

The Wisconsin varsity boys of a
few years ago had a very warm place
in their hearts for W. w. Heafford,
who died in Chicago last Thursday
It was in '94 that Mr. Heafford &C
companied the glee, banjo and man
dolin clubs on their entire trip and
he was far and away the most popular
man Of the party. He took a fatherly
interest in his charges and looked af-
ter every body in a most kindly man
ner. For the past five years he had
been district passenger agent of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul rail
way at Milwaukee, and for some years
previous eastern passenger agent of
the same road in New York Mr..
Heafford was born in Kentucky, and

eral passenger agent and is now gen
eral passenger agent. During the
worlds fair Mr.. Heafford was brought
west to assist the company, and was
then transferred to Milwaukee, with
the title of district passenger agent.

who went to Milwaukee shortly after
her husband located there, died,
leaving besides her husband, three
children, Charles and Claude, sons,
and one daughter, May. The daugh-
ter has made her home with her
uncle in Chicago since the mothers
death and the sons reside in Milwau-
kee. Mr.. Heafford was we'll known
in railway circles, and was a. quiet.

tive of the passenger department.
He was frequently in charge of large

weeks ago he was requested to go to
Chicago to relieve George H. Marsh.

Shortly after his arrival he was
stricken with sickness and was for a
large part Of the time in an uncon-
sc1ous condition. He died at the res
idence of his brother, George H. Heat

heart disease, from which he had
been sufferer for several years. He
was 4S years of age The funeral

MY HOME.

No more, no more, 10, never;

Far, far from the dear river.

Wrapped in the glory OF a dream
Thy ripping flow, o river.
No more the Pentlands steep, no more,
No more, ali no! no never;
My steps may climb a distant shore,
But ne er thy purple heather.
All me! the tears that blind mine eyes
In one long passionate culver,
No soIace brings to love that lies
Around thy hills forever.

Those scenes so dear for ever
liver better far my kneJl were rung,
Than from thee long to sever;

The glen. the winding river,
But, ali! my home, the thought it kills
A thousand times, no, never.

HORSE
He Had a Thrilling Border Career
and is Doing Duty in Drawing.

There is horse that helps draw an
omnibus from Lawrenceburg to
Greenville, Ind, every day whose
earlier days were in sharp contrast
with his present life.
When he was young, the horse was
on a stage route through Yellowstone
Park. He was so swift and so hand
some that the government bought him
for a troop horse.
The animal saw much cavalry ser
vice and soon gained distinction be-
cause Of his speed and endurance. He
was stolen by an Indian, and for
three or four years was ridden with
out saddle. Then Col. E. D. Ban
mister recovered the horse. Part OF
one ear had been shot away and an
Indian had cut off part of his
tongue, because his neighing had be-
trayed the hidden savage.
For years the horse did duty about
the Rosebud Agency. Then it was sold
to Ike Mullen, a cowboy, who was
killed in a drunken brawl. Then the
horse was sold to a trader, and after
changing hands many times it found
it's way to Lawrenceburg. 1t changed
hands many times and was bought
by George Lowe last week and put
to work on the stage route.
Ever so many people laugh at the
old animal with one ear and g dis
figured tongue, but after they learn
history 4
respect.
He is twenty years old, and not
withstanding his age and the ex-
periences he has passed through, TIE
horse is still strong and active. A
bugle or shot will make it prick UP
it's single ear and a fire will show in
it's eyes

rates. The private seances are held
in little one-story buildings which
attract attention from the especial
fact that they are minus windows
There is one door, and when you enter
1t is closed. The door is thus re-
duced to darkness, and on a moderate
ly warm day all are subjected to d
sort Of Turkish bath ordeal. To one
entering one of these darke houses
for the first time the darkness is so
intense that it produces a sickening
dizziness and q feeling of half fear
and half oppression. Soon business
begins. The medium and all con-
cerned begin to sing a low, plaintive
song, and presently the mysterious
something, supposed to be the spirits
OF your dead friends, gets to work.
Balls OF phosphoric light begin to
shoot across the inky blackness, and
presently voices are heard, musical
instruments are played or, if ma
teIializing seance. hazy forms begin
to be seen.

Madrid, Oct. 9.-The cabinet has de-
cided upon the Immediate recall of
General Weyler from Cuba. A decree
will be issued appointing Captain Gen
eral Blanco Y. Arenas, MARQUIS of
Iena-Plata, governor general OF the
stand. The queen regent will sign the
decree today.
According to the FL Heraldo, 10000
achievements will accompany Blan-
co to Cuba
In the course of the cable message
sent by Weyler to Sagasta placing his
post in Cuba at the disposal OF the
government, he said: If the func-
lions which they had entrusted me
had been merely those of governor
general Of Cuba l should FASTENED to
resign; but the tWo-fold character of
my mission and my duty as command
er-in-chief in face of the enemy pre-
:: ent my rendering a resignation.
nevertheless, if l cannot rely up
on the absolute, unconditional sup
port of the autonomist and constitu-
t1onal parties as we'll as upon public
opinion, this will be insufficient with
out the confidence of the government,
now more than ever necessary to me
after the censure of which | have been
made the object by members and
journals Of the liberal part. and by
public opinion in the United States
which latter is largely influenced by
the former. This confidence would be
necessary to enable me to put an end
co the war which already has been
virtually concluded from our lines
at Juraco to Captain Antonio"
Sagasta replied: Il thank you for
your consideration and value your
frankness. l wish to assure you that
your government recognizes your SER
vices and values them as they de-
serve, but the change of policy, in
order to succeed, requires that the
authorities should be one with the
ministry. This has nothing to do
with the confidence felt in you by the
government, for the liberals have al
ways said that the responsibility for
a given policy does not fall upon
those who carry it out, but upon the
government inspiring it. shall COM
municate your communication to the
government shortly"

A Fatal Railway Wreck.

Cumberland, Nd, March 2o-Ten per-
sons were injured and one killed in a
wreck on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
near Oakland, Md, this morning. Train
No. 2, from Cincinnati and St. Louis. was
derailed. Three sleepers. two day coaches
and the postal car left the track. One
sleeper rolled down the emba nkment and
into the Yougigheny river. The balance
of the train remained on the bridge, or
doubtless the casualties would have been
much greater. There were thirty-eigh
persons in the Car which rolled into the
river. all of whom escaped with trifing
injuries except two. General ]. s. Fuller
ton, of St. Louis, a union veteran of
Chickamauga fame, was killed. Fifty
workmen searched the river all day, but
were unable to find the body. The cur
rent Is SO swift at the point where the
accident occurred that it is believed the
corpse has been carried down stream. a
reward for it's recovery has been offered
by the railroad company.
1t is thought that none of the injured
with the possible exception Of Mrs.
Phelps, who was badly cut and bruised
and received internal injuries, are fatally
hurt. They were brought to Cumber-
land on a special train and received med
ical attention at the Western Maryland
hospital. All the inj jured were placed in a
special Pullman tonight and continued
the journey eastward.
