The Best Remedy for Rheumatism.

ISCSIsOCIs
Mn James Ro WAND of this village,
states that for twenty-five years his
wife has been a sufferer from rheuma-
tism. A few nights, ago she was in
such pain that she Was nearly crazy.
She sent Mr.. Rowland or the doctor,
but he had read of Chamberlain's Pain
Balm aud instead of going for the ply
bottle of it. His wife did not approve
of Mr.. Rowland's purchase at first, but
nevertheless applied the balm thor
oughly and in hours time was able to
go to sleep. She now applies it when
ever she feels an ache or pain and
finds that it always gives relief. He
says that no medicine which she had
used ever did her as much good. The

a little now and then, with gentle
cleansing laxative, thereby removing
offending matter from the stomach and
toning up and invigorating the liver
and quickening its tardy action, and
you thereby remove the cause of null
titude of distressing diseases, such as
headaches, indigestion, biliousness,
skin diseases, boils, carburcles, piles,
fistulas and maladies too numerous to
mention.
To accomplish this purpose, DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are unequal
ed. Once used, they are always in
favor. Their secondary effect is to
keep the bowels open and regular, not
to further constipate, as is the case
with other pills. Hence their great
popularity with sufferers from habitual
constipation, piles and Indigestion.

Something to Know.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restor-
ing the tired out nervous system to a
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone to the nerve centres in the
stomach, gently stimulates the Liver
and Kidneys, and aids these organs in
throwing off impurities in the blood.
Electric Bitters improves the ap-
petite, aids digestion, and is pronounc-
ed by those who have tried it as the
very best blood purifier and nerve
tonic. Try it. Sold for soc or 81. 90
per bottle at w. A. Irwin & Co.'S drug

KENTUCKY REPUBLICANS.
The State Convention Was Very
Quiet Affair.

LOUISVILLE Ky), Aug. 10.-Con-
trary to the expectations of many, the
Republican State Convention which
met in Music Hall, this city, to-day Tor
the purpose of nominating Clerk of
the Court of Appeals, was entirely har-
monious in it's work.. There was an
idea in some quarters that there would
be a bitter fight between the Bradley
and Hunter-Todd factions, but the gen
eralship of the party leaders on and off
the floor of the convention prevented
the anticipated clash.
The State and National Administra-
ton were indorsed, and civil service
was opposed, along the lines laid down
by the recent Ohio Republican Con-
vention In other words, according TO
the Kentucky Republican view, civil
service is good enough in its way, but
there are certain offices which should
be removed from its control.
The convention was quiet There
was no enthusiasm to speak of. the only
applause coming when the speakers re-
ferred to civil service Seform.
Under the inspiring strains of the
Enquirer March," the 1000 or more
delegates took their seats at 2 o'clock.
A noticeable feature was the large
sprinkling of colored delegates.
At $50 the stalwart form of Tempo
rary Chairman Deboe appeared upon
the platform
The Committee on Permanent Organ
ization recommended the election Of
Judge George Denny of Fayette Coun-
ty for permanent Chairman, and J..
Speed Smith of Madison County for
Permanent Secretary. Both of these
gentlemen accepted the trusts imposed
upon them. Judge Denny then took
the chair.

was nominated for Clerk of the Court

Cranes assistance. AT that moment.
however, Crane drew a pistol and fired
at his assailants, but the bullet, missing

ANDREWS NOT FORCED OUT.
NEITHER WAS HIS INDEPEN-
DENCE COMPROMISED.
Some Pertinent Questions Pro-
pounded by III. A. Wayland of
Brown University.

PROVIDENCE (R- u, Aug. 10.-H.
A Wayland of Kansas City, dean of
Brown University, has addressed a
lengthy communication TO Professor
Clarke and other members Of Brown
University in reply to the latter's open
letter to the corporation In it mention
is made of President Andrews resigna-
ton and the issues at stake. Contin-
uing, he says:
THE real questions involved are, I
think, three fold. First: Has an in
structor, minister. an editor, the
President of bank or college, q right
to use his position to give currency and
authority to his views without being
open to suggestion from those WHO have
placed him in his position?
Il regret that the President by his
resignation seems to say: i regard my
views as of such Importance that no
consideration can induce me to forbear
the expression of them
1T is stated that DIR. Andrews is to
engage in an educational enterprise, to
be endowed and controlled by John
Brisbane Walker If it should chance
in the future that the views of DR..
Andrews should diverge from those of
Mr. Walker, will Mr.. Walker entertain
the opinion which the President now
cherishes as to independence?
Second: Was the occasion such as
TO justify the request of the corpora
ton? The Chief Justice of the Hawaiian
Islands recently said: The advocates of
free coinage in the islands were told
that the weight of the intelligence and
the integrity of the American people
were against their views.
Third Was there any want of court
esy in the manner in which the corpora
ton conveyed their suggestions to the
President? The suggestion that is in
the air about the President being
forced out is as groundless as the as
sertion that his independence is COM
promised
