Mrs. Samuel Stamm Of Loganton, Pa,
bore her thirty-four years Of suffering
with courage and fortitude. Her trouble
was rheumatism in the knee. In conse-
Quence her limb had become SO stiff that
she could hardly walk. Mr.. Stamm is a
well-to-do merchant, and had spared no
pains or expense to relieve her, but with
little success, until one night when it
grew SO painful that she could hardly
endure it, he persuaded her totry Cham
berlain's Pain Balm. The effect was
magical. The first application relieved
the pain, and its continued use has re-
moved all stiffness and given her the
free use Of her limb once more. IL you
have friends who are troubled with
rheumatism insist on their giving this
remedy . trial. You can do them no
greater favor, as it is sure to give prompt
relief, and il they are a little patient it
will effect a cure. Fol sale at % and so

ISLAND CITY NEWS ITEMS.
Wharf Company Wants to Sell the
Elevators.
SOCIAL SCIENCE LEAGUE PLATFORM.
President Resigned Because the
League Got Into Politics-Grnnu
Jury Very Busy-DrOwncd.

Galveston Texas, May 6.-There is a
probability that the Wharf company grain
elevators will soon pass into other hands.
1t is said the Wharf company never desired
to own and operate elevators, that not be-
ing necessary part Of the Wharf COM
pany's business, but the elevators were
needed and as there was no one else to step
in and build them the Wharf company
took ii upon itself to take the initiative.
The result is well known. Since the lirst
elevator was completed deep water has
been accomplished and the movement or
grain through this port has assumed very
respectable proportions, so much so mat
the past season showed the urgent neces-
sity for more elevator facilities. Several
grain exporters who were operating at TINS
post talked Of building elevators, but
their complaint was that they could rot
secure eligible sites.
At any rate. nothing was done In that
direction by any one and the Wharf com-
pany went ahead With the building of a
new elevator in the west end.
About week or ten days ago Mr.. Ortiz
vein OF the firm of OrthWen 81 Sons OF
New Orleans, who did a large grain export
business through this port last season.
was here and had an interview with some
of the Wharf company officials. The visit
anything of It, 1t has since leaked out,
however, that his visit here and his in
terview with the Wharf company people
was with a view 10 either leasing or pur-
chasing the Wharf company elevators or of
obtaining n site for the building of an
elevator of his own and ii is understood
that the Wharf company informed Elm
that he could have his choice in the mat
ter. 1t is probable. though, that the Wharf
company would prefer to have the ole-
vators taken off its hands and the BUSH
ness conducted by the grain exporters or
an elevator company or companies
1t is no secret that tho Wharf company
has sustained heavy losses by reason of he
damaged grain II has been compelled to
pay for Some of this damaged grain. 1t
was complained. was received in bad con-
dition, while on the other hand 1t was
claimed that it was delivered 10 the Wharf
company in good condition and deteriorated
after being stored in the elevator. II is
not contended on any hand that the deter
ioration was due TO climatic influence. but
rather to the lack Of sufficient care In the
orally believed that the Wharf company's
loss has been considerable and the worst
feature Of 1t is that some of the damaged
corn has got across to the other side.
which may he prejudical to the port.
But whether the Wharf company gets
rid OF the elevators or not, it has gained
some experience from the past that will
he very useful 10 it In the coming season
in the matter of receiving and handling
grain.
