Mr.. Isaac Homer, proprietor of the Burton
widely known men in the state was cured of
rheumatism after three years of suffering. He
says: IL have not sufficient command of Ian
guage to convey any idea of what | suffered,
my physicians told me that nothing could be
done for me and my friends were fully con-
WINGED that nothing but death would relieve
me of my suffering. In June, 1904, Mr.. Evens,
then salesman for the Wheeling Drug Co.,
recommended Chamberlain's Pain Balm. At
this time my foot and limb were swollen to
more than double their normal size and il
seemed to me my leg would burst, but soon
after | began using the Pain Balm the swell
ing began to decrease, the pain To leave, and
now | consider that | am entirely cured. For

A GIRL
Barely Escapes a Life Long
Calamity.

1t happened in this way: The
young daughter of Mrs. e. S. Glib
son, Greelyville, South Carolina,
was slowly but surely becoming a
hopeless invalid. Her mother be-
came anxious and haggard in her
frantic efforts to save her daugh-
ter. None Of her attempts to find
a cure seemed of any avail. AS
stated in her own words:
"My daughter vas taken sick
some time ago and L tried many
medicines in vain. She was very
weak, appetite poor, bowels costive,
and night sweats. She appeared
to be cold all the time, being taken
with violent chills at times. Her
nerves were in a very bad condi-
ton. At last [ happened to see
one of your little books and wrote
you. You recommended Pe-ru-na.
[ gave it to her and she has now
completely recovery. [ owe all
that [ am worth in this world to
you for saving my daughters life.
[ shall always keep a supply of
your medicines on hand. May
you live long to help those suffer-
ing as my daughter was".

The suit of the South Omaha

Injunction of the federal court the
enforcement of the new state law
regulating stock yards and fixing
maximum rates of charges for them
is stimulated by the. success OF
the railroads in holding up the
Nebraska maximum freight rate
law. The two cases, however, seem
to be altogether different. If the
federal court can undertake indis-
~criminately to stop state laws from
going into effect on mere allega-
ton that they reduce the inflated
profits of some corporation, the
Legislative power of our states
will be to all intents and purposes
abrogated unless it's exercise meets
the approval of the federal Judges.

CANADA is to issue a new series
of postage stamps in commemora-
ton of the queens jubilee which are
described as being almost the size
and shape of our old Columbian
postage stamp and embellished
with two portraits of Victoria, one
representing her in 1887 and the
other in 1897. Canada will be
welcome to the exclusive use of
these stamps, as after our expert
ence with the Columbian posters
patrons of the American postofice
find their present adhesives quite
large enough. The double por-
traits, too, is likely to be confus-
ing to Canadians of convivial
habits as conducive to duplex
vision. AS ornaments to the post
age stamp fend's album the new
Canadian issue may be a distinct
contribution, but for practical pur-
poses its career does not seem
hopeful.-Omaha Bee.

Parkersburg, w. Va, May 4.-Word
Games here to-day of a terrible tragedy
which occurred last night near Belpre,
o. John Scott, colored, resides on Wal
nut street.
His two sons-John, aged four. and
Raymond aged nine, were playing
around the yard when the mother
called them into the house. When they
came in the kitchen the younger of the
two picked up a broom and putting it
to his shoulder said in a playful man
ner, I'm going to shoot you The
elder boy went to the corner of the
room where a shot gun was standing,
picked it up and remarked, well, I'm
going to shoot YOU
The words were no sooner out than
there was a flash and a report. The
little brother fell backwards with a
gaping hole in his head and when the
terrified mother reached his side he
was already dead.
Great excitement prevailed and a
crowd sOon collected at the little home.
The full charge of shot had entered
the forehad just over the left eye. 1t
made an ugly gaping wound nearly
tearing the top of the head off.
