Civil Service Gets Another Blow.

Washington, June 9.-The president,
after having listened to arguments on
both sides of the question, has been
convinced that the civil service law
cannot be made to properly apply to
the printing office, and that it is incum-
bent upon him to announce his decis-
ion in an executive order. There are
about 1000 positions in the government
printing Office and some of them COM
mand good salaries. As soon as the
presidents order is promulgated the

suffered. My physicians told me that
nothing could be done for me. and my
friends were fully convinced that moth
ing but death would relieve me of my
suffering. In June, 1894, Mr.. Evans,
then salesman for the Wheeling Drug
Co. recommended Cham berlain's Pain
Balm. At this time my foot and limb
were swollen to more than double their
normal size and it seemed to me my
leg would burst, but soon after [ began

gan to decrease, the pain to leave, and
now I consider that 7 am entirely cured.

GHOULS AT INDIANAPOLIS.
Bodies Taken From the Old Lick
Creek Baptist Church Cematerg.

Indianapolis, June 9.-The discovery
was made today that body snatchers
were systematically plundering the
graves in what is known as the Old
Lick Creek Baptist church cemetery,
five miles southwest of this city.
The Lick Greek church is extinct and
the cemetery has no caretaker, but it
has continued to be used by old fami-
lies in that neighbOrhood, and as it lies
in an out of the way place, opportunity
is had for pluEdering at leisure. One
grave was opened last night and ex-
animation showed that several others
had been similarly visited, the head
boards being thrown aside and a hole
disclosing a broken and empty casket.

Democrats VIII FiIibuster.

WASHINGTON, July 20.-It is evident
from today's proceedings in the Senate
that the Democratic Senators intend to
make good their threats to tiilibuster
against the adoption of the conference
report on the tariff bill. Several of them,
including Morgan and Gallery insist IN
their desire to talk several days.
Jones, of Arkansas, will compel the
Republicans to explain each seperate item
of the bill, and altogether the Democrats
seem determined to make political capital
and campaign material by useless debate:
Some wise heads among the Democrats,
however, are pointing out that the Dem
ocratio speeches in the House yesterday
notable the row between the Democratic
leaders, Bailey and McbIlllen-did not
help the Democratic cause, and that it
would be well to avoid q repetition Of the
controversy
No plan has been agreed upon by the
Democratic Senators, and Republican
leaders are ignorant of what they intend
to do. 1t is the opinion of the real leaders
ON both sides that after a few days of
filibustering tactics under the guise Of de-
bate and scrutiny of the bill that the OPP
position will yield and will allow the bill
to be disposed of, 50 that Congress can
adjourn without further delay.

Baseball.

The liveliest playing that has taken place
at this place during the baseball season
was two games played on last Monday be-
tween the Bluefeld and Tazewell second
teams. The Bluefeld boys were confident
of success, and the home team was almost
equally confident of defeat. In this in
stance, as is frequently experienced, tie un-
expected happened, and both games were
won by the Tazewell boys. The first game
was played in the morning, beginning at .
o'clock. At the close of the ninth inning
the game was tie, and it became neces-
sary to play two more innings, as there
was still a tie on the tenth. In the elev-
enth inning the Tazewell boys won the
game by a score given below.
The second game began at about 2 o'clock
in the afternoon. Four innings had been
PLAYED with the score to in favor Of the
Tazewell team when Alexander, of the
Bluefeled team, who was catching, was
struck by foul ball and SO badly injured
that the game had TO be called.
