Half Dozen Suggestions Will Present
 Themselves to the Reader While
 Perusiag This.
 It is seldom that passenger on board train gives thought to the man at the throttle, and rarer still that a man chosen above all others by the peo- pie does so. Of all the flowers placed on the presidential train as it passed through Pittsburgh and Alleghany on it's way to Washington, there is one cluster of white pinks destined to be preserved for generations and handed down to children and grandchildren as long as the petals and stems will hold together. That was the handsome bou- quet presented by Presid nt Mckinley to the locomotive engineer and fireman in charge of the train we have just spo- ken about. This graceful act of the Presidents has nothing to do with the locomotive fireman, Rufus Tourtellott, of No. 66 Spring St, Middletown, Conn.,, fireman on the N. Y. N H X II R. k We merely introduce him in this manner su that in measure the reader may know who we are talking about, and if afflicted as he was, the benefit of this valuable remedy can be utilized. Read what he says: "For years 1 had kidney trouble accompanied at times by the most intense agony. There was dull lingering aching in my kidneys and a sore and lame back which hurt me to bend forward and could not sleep, causing me to have a tired feeling clinging to me. At times I could not stand 1t on the engine and was compelled to go home. I heard of Doan's Kidney Pills and got them at drug store. They have given me the greatest satisfaction. I have no back ache or lameness whatever now. My son was also cured of chronic backache and kidney complaint by Doan's Kid uey Pills. We can highly recommend them and lose no opportunity in doing SO"
 Doan's Kidney Pills are for sale by all dealers-price 90 cents. Mailed by Foster -Milburn Co Buffalo, N. r., sole agents for the United States.

causs of Blind stapeers In Sheen.

Question. ails my sheep? One eve, not quite year old, eats but very little, is apparently blind, as it goes around with it's eyes shut and bumps against whatever is in its way. Its ears droop, it rests its head on the manager, does not discharge any from the nos- trils. Tine feed is clover mixed hay, with little wheat middlings and oats. I have had them so before, and they are pretty sure to die in one or two weeks.-G. W. H.
 Answer.-The trouble is due to con- stipation, followed by impaction or stomach staggers from too exclusive feeding on dry food. Give the affected sheep four ounces sulphate of soda with a half ounce ginger dissolved in half pint warm water. Follow with injec- tions of pint of warm castillo soapsuds four or five times daily until relieved. Also give one of the following powders twice daily, either in the feed or by drench: Powdered nux vomica, 6 drams i; gentian and ginger, of each 12 drams; mix and make into 12 powders. The sheep should also receive succulent food of some kind, such as ensilage, roots, cabbage or apples once daily. In the absence of green food ground flaxseed or scalded oats or bran may be given. The healthy sheep should also receive ra- tion of succulent food two or three times week, or a daily ration of ground f1axseed or oilmcal. Free access to salt will also form healthy action of the bowels and tend to prevent i'm paction. n.-Rural New Yorker.

THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 1898.

An incident (it was merely an incl dent) at Santiago last week showed that all our men were not gone yet who were willing to lay down their lives for their country; for our beautiful stars and stripes. When Admiral Sampson called for six volunteers to go with Lieutenant Hebson to sink the Merri- mao in the channel at Santiago, it was not six, but FOUR THOUSAND that volun- teered to go,to what was looked upon as certain death. Admiral Cervera, to show his appreciation of their bravery, dis dispatched message to Sampson un- der . flag of truce saying that they would be treated with every considera- ton and that he would exchange them as soon as the Americans were ready, for prisoners of war held at Allan ta. The boat under the flag of truce also took back clothes and money to the Americans. as when they went aboard the Merrimac they were clothed only in their underclothes. And too much praise cannot be given to Naval Cadet Powell and his men, who, for over an hour, were cruising around right under tho batteries of Morro cas- tie and only returned when all hope Of taking aboard the crew of the Merrimac had to be abandoned. They came out of the heavy fire uniniured and of the eight men Hobson had, two of whom slowed themselves away so as to be aboard the Merrimac when she went in) only two were injured by flying splln- karo

Deafne-. Can's be Cured

oy local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by con stitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infiamed you have a rumbling sound or im- perfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which Is nothing but an infiamed condition of the mucuous sur faces.
 We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness caused by catarrhl that we cannot cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

They were fed in a shed on shock corn once a day and shucked corn at night. I think shock corn the best feed there is for fat tening cattle.
