and successful reign OF over q year, John

The Best Remedy for rheumatism.
From the Fairhaven IN " Reg: ster.


Mr. james Rowland, of this village,
states that for twent y-fiye years his
wife has been a sufferer from rheumatism.
A few nights ago she was in such pain
that she was nearly crazy. She sent
Mr.. Rowland for the doctor, but he had
read OF Chamberiain's Pain Balm, and
instead of going for the physician he
went to the store and secured a bottle
OF it. His wife did not approve of Mr.
RowIand's purchase at first, but never
theless applied the Balm thoroughly, and
in an hours time was able to go to
sleep. She now applies it whenever she
feels an ache or a pain and finds that 1t
always gives relief He says that no

vAGRANCY BONDS NO GOOD.
\ Curious State of Affairs Developed
in the Police Court.

Policeman Lord appeared in the police
court this morning to prosecute Josephine
Johnson, a middle-aged muatto woman,
who was charged with vagrancy.
''She is already under vagrancy bonds, :
said the policeman.

man had furnished bail in the former
case
Let that bond be forfeited" said
Judge Mills. ''In the present case she will
have to furnish $100 real estate bond or go
to the workhouse for thirty days"
The forfeiture Of the filst bond developed
an interesting state of affairs There is
no apparent way to collect a vagrancy
bond, and there is DO record OF one ever
having been collected
Acourt official stated that the only remedy
in the case was to make the professional
bOndsman pay the bail or refuse TO aooe ut
him ON any other prisoners bond until he
did so.
