Total Abstinence Society Cured by DR..
Greene's Nervura.
Vice President of the Massachusetts,
Total Abstinence Society, Mrs. S. Louise
Barton, of 4 Union Park ST., Boston.
Mass, says: II am glad to give my tes.
timony in regard to the great worth OF
Dr. Greene's Nervura. Two years ago
my husband and myself, both slowly re-
covering from severe illness, found our
selves unable to sleep, and becoming, by
reason of this, so nervous and weak as
greatly to retard our recovery. By the
advice OF friend (after trying various
other remedies) we began to take DIR.
Greene's Neryura. 1t acted like a charm,
giving us refreshing slumber and also re-
turning strength / had been troubled
with dyspepsia and found. to my surprise,
that as my strength returned l was being
cured of this disease also. I have relied
on 1t ever since when wearied with my
brain work, and found it the best thing
have ever tried.
Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher, wife of the
Greatest Preacher and Divine that ever
lived, knew nnd told the wonderful good
DR.. Greene's Nervura is doing.
Mrs Henry Ward Beecher, whose name
is reverad and honore1 by everybody,
wrote to the people out of deep regard for
humanity and an earnest desire to restore
tho weak, tired, feeble. nervous and suff-
ering. again to health and strength: 81
have given some of DIR. Greenes Nervura
to several friends who thought would
be benefited by it. They speak highly Of
it, and feel they have been much benefited
by its use. These people are very respon-
sible witnesses as to the beneficial charac-
ter of the medicine, and l am ready to
vouch for the honesty of their approval of
DR.. Greene's Nervura. If needed in my
own case, certainly should use 1t"

THE OLD FEELING REMAINS.
English Journal Tells Us All About Our
Poor Financial Condition.


London, March 1.-The Statist today
discussed the financial side of possible
Standardization war. After pointing
out the expense of hurriedly creating an
American army and strengthening the
navy, it agrees that the United States
will eventually obtain command of the
sea, adding: "Then, if Spain submitted,
the expenditures would rapidly end and
the war might not cost very much. p"
Continuing the Statist remarks: "But
IL Spain prolonged the contest the United
States would find itself in an eInbarrass-
ing position. The creation of large
army to drive Spain out of Cuba would
mean considerable expense and when ac-
complished, what would thesUnired States
do with CubaP' Lastly, If Spain then
refused to submit, would America al
ter capturing the Spanish West Indies,
extend the war to Europe? The collapse
of Spanish credit might force her to
devoted the money she could raise In
any way protracting the struggle, the COST
to the United States would certainly be
very great
of the condition of the United States
treasury with those of other countries,
the Statist says: "He forgot that Rus-
sja, a poorer country than the United
States, has over sl5l, 100000 in gold de-
votable to war purposes. The large sur
plus in the United States treasury Is due
to Mr.. Cleveland's S gold loans and the sale
of the Union Pacific. Subtracting the
gold reserve against the green backs
only 25,000,0 600 pounds are available
Therefore in view of the annual deficit
it seems incredible that the secretary OF
the treasury will draw considerably on
his cash balance without fresh taxation. :"

RUMOKS or BUYING CUBA.

New York, March IA Washing
ton special to the Herald says: In ;
night and a day a great change has
come over the situation as it is viewed
at the White House. NOOne could talh
with the President today without MOTTO
iug that. The air speedily became SUR
charged with peace talk emanating from
the Executive Mansion.
President Mckinley as recently as
Saturday was deeply impressed with the
gravity OF the situation. but he said to
several persons who talked with him to-
day: II do not expect war. | believe
tins whole matter can be settled diploma
tically."
The changed atmosphere from gravity
to gaiety once more is due to revival
Of the purchase proposition in new
form II the insurgents are willing that
their freedom should be bought for
them what difference should il make
whether the purchase is conducted with
the United States or some other agency?
understand that the suggestion now
is to have a great syndicate OF American
and European capitalists organized for
the purpose of purchasing Cuba. This is
the biggest news development since the
first purchase proposition was killed
last week. The financial interests Of
the world do not want war. They do
not belleye it is necessary, Probably
the leading reason lies in the condition
OF the Spanish national debt.
Men who control the finances OF the
world believe they can not only end the
war in Cuba, butprevent war between
the United States aud Spain by settling
the Cuban question with money and
guaranteeing the Cuban war debt of
Spain.
This understand is the proposition
How far the negotiations have gone |
am unable to say. Nor do know
whether either Spanish government or
the Cuban leaders have Signilied willing
ness even to consider the plan.

Toll Rates on Valley Turapike.

The Harrisonburg Spirit of Friday
gave the following:
Our people have been very much in
terested in the question Of tolls on the
Valley turnpike ahd We give below the
schedule of tolls as they have been re-
duced by the BanSerman bill. There
were various propositions, one known a.
the Switzer bill, which proposed to take
the road out Of the hands Of the present
management and turn it oyer to the
boards of supervisors III each county
through which the road passes.
But the Switzer bill was defeated be-
fore the committee and the road was left
in charge OF the present management.
This was done by substituting the Bauser-
man bill, which fixed the tolls according
TO the schedule as given below. The
bill, which was introduced by Mr..
Baurerman, the representative from
Shenandoah, while it reduces tolls, at
the same Tins prevents the road from
being any charge upon the taxpayers
Of the county, the road being kept up by
those who use it. II it had been turned
over to the supervisors, the taxpayers OF
the whole county would have been re-
spOnsible for whatever expenses the
county might have been put to. Here is
the schedule of tolls:
For every 20 head OF sheep or hogs, . cts
For every 20 head of cattle, 10 cts
And so on in proportion for greater or
less number.
For horse, mare, mule or gelding3 cts
For one horse wagon, cts.
For wagon drawn by two horses, 10 cts
For wagon drawn by four horses, Is cts
And for every additional, 3 cts
One horse spring wagon. cts
Two horse spring wagon, 10 eta
One horse wheel riding carriage, 6 cts
Two horse wheel riding carriage, 10 cts
Two wheel riding carriage, cts
Cart drawn by one horse, cts
And for every engine, machine,
wagon or other vehicle moved or drawn
by steam power six and a quarter cents
for each wheel for every such engine,
m ichine, wagon or other vehicle moving
on the ground.

THE SITUATION.

The situation at this time is critical
We are in hopes that there will be nc
war. This is all that can be said by any
one. The opinion Of the members OF
Congress or of the President is not con-
elusive evidence of what will occur We
believe that the President fully appreci-
ates the importance Of having continued
peace. The jingoes in congress have been
silenced by the gravity of the situation,
but the jingoes in the pulpits have opened
up and many of them are crying for war.
The United States is making every
necessary preparation, but whether it
will result in war, no one at this time can
say. The danger is imminent
