A little child of J. h. Hays, living
near Colquitt, Ga, overturned pot of
boiling water, scalding itself so severely
that the skin came off it's breast and
limbs. The distressed parents sent to
Mr.. Bush, merchant of Colquitt, for a
remedy, and he promptly forwarded
Chamberlan's Pain Balm. The child
was suffering intensely, but was relieved
by single application of the Pain Balm.

ALOCOMOTlvE SLED.
Secretary AIger Thinks It May Solve tho
Klonkike Problem.

Washington, September 18.-Secretary
Alger is now engaged in an attempt
to solve the question of how to get
supplies in the Klondike gold regions
and thereby prevent the threatened STAR
walton Of many miners. 1t is believed,
however by the Secretary, that by means
of a novel invention transportation for
supplies into the gold country may be
provided in the midst of an Alaskan
winter. He has opened correspondence
indirectly with Chicago inventor who
makes a locomotive sled, designed orig
ginally for use in logging camps, but
which it is hoped may be readily adapted
to the navigation of the Yukon when it
is frozen thickly.
The secretary has already had some ex-
perlence with this kind of locomotive, SO
that the scheme is not so radical an ex-
pertinent as it would seem to be at first
thought. When engaged in numbering in
the northwest he tried the engine prac
tically and found that 1t was capable of
pulling many tons of logs on sleds at a
good speed, even as high as II miles an
hour.
Today Secretary Alger telegraphed to
Mr.. Weare, president of the Alaskan
Transportation company at Chicago, to
see the inventor of this apparatus and
then to come to Washington to talk over
the possibilities of the scheme with him.
Mr.. Weare will do SO and is expected
here tomorrow. A telegram was also sent
to Joseph Ladue. the founder of Dawson
City, and supposed to be now at Platts-
burg, N. Y, inviting him to come here
to consult with Secretary Alger on this
subject and give him the benefit of his
practical knowledge of the Yukon region
and tell how the engines may be sup
piled with fuel on the run up the river.
Word came to the War Department this
afternoon that the transportation COM

STAR POINTER WINS NEW HoNoRs.
He Lowers the Race Record Nearly to Two
Minutes.

indianapolis, Ind, September 18.-The
worlds race record was broken here this
afternoon by Star Pointer in a match
race with Joe Patchen. The weather was
perfect for the contest between the two
kings of the turf. There was but one heat
of the race to be finished, each having
taken heats on the afternoon previous,
the race going over on account of dark
ness. The track was the best it has been
during the week and the horses both fit
for the race of their lives and the vast
crowd saw a mark that will no doubt
stand for years, 2.01. Had the black fell
low not faltered a bit at the head of the
stretch, even lower time would have been
recorded as Pointer finished strong with
three open lengths of daylight between
them.
Patchen had the pole and he set fast
clip to the quarter pole which was passed
in 80 3D. Those who were holding
watches on the noble pair were prepared
from this for a mark that would startle
the world. Patchen was leading up the
back stretch by a length when McCleary
urged Pointer on and he responded nobly.
He crawled up inch by inch and in a few
seconds blanket would have covered the
pair. The drive to the half was beauti-
full one; Pointer passing the pole a neck
in front of the black fellow in exactly one
minute from the time the word was
given. From this point he gained little
by little until at the three-quarters, which
was made in 100, Dickerson urged Joe
on and the noble animal responded, but
though he gained slightly, Pointer moved
along like piece of machinery in his
steady gait that meant for him victory.
Down the stretch Dickerson applied the
whip to the white nosed favorite, but
Pointer gained steadily. McCleary laid
the whip lightly from the last eighth in,
and passed under the wire in the remark
able time of 2.01. Had Patchen fought
him clear out as he did for the first half
mile. the coveted two minute race rec
ord would without doubt have been
touched. The regular events of the day
were all hotly contested. The summaries !:

about $4,000 was taken. but II is quite
possible that the loss viii considerably
exceed this sum, as no one but the dead

robbers, after knocking Stickney down
with black jack, cut his throat. The
most remarkable feature OF the rob-
