SURE CURE FOR RHEUMATISM.

The statement that there is a cure for
Rheumatism will be read with incredulity
by the majority Of people. However, 1t
Is fact which we can prove. Rheuma-
that Is thoroughly cleansed no one once
affected with the disease can hope for
relief. The remedy we offer Is not a new
discovery. but 1t has never been placed
on the market in medicinal form. We
know from personal observation that 1t
has effected q permanent cure whenever
tried and this is what suggested the idea
of offering 1t to sufferers from rheuma-
are a purely vegetable compound. They
are warranted to cure the worst cases OF
rheumatism. Price, so cents a box. For

we made and laid the carpet saving
over 800. We made pledge after
pledge on dedication day until with our
former pledge and what the carpet cost,
we had pledged $3S0243. The first
supper given in the new church was a
"chicken pie" supper given by our
society-proceeds nearly 800. In '92 we
held the Business Mems Jubilee, which
brought to us $175.45. We served
meals on show day, at the prohibition
convention and during four days that
the Detroit conference was in session.
Later we gave "the Orange grove festi-
val" Our receipts were the largest this
year in the history of the society, being
81 ,097.37 at the second anniversary IF
the dedication of the church we had
paid on our pledge 81, 473.63; paid so a
year interest on parsonage $138.65 fer
furniture; and kept the parsonage
papered ar d painted The next year
we held worlds fair, served pro-
hibition and the doctors banquets,
A. r. and w. r. c., and anniversary
chicken pie supper and our monthly
teas. In January of 1895, insteod of
having teas we began to raise money
by monthly collections. Our collectors
visited each lady at the beginning OF
the year to receive her pledge and
every month Coll on her for the amount
of her pledge. In this way we have
raised $500. In so and Y in addition
we have worked in every way possible tc
raise our money. In '96 we served the
Christmas supper for the S. S., and last
year gave several "At Homes" These
are very pleasant gatherings held fol
the purpose of becoming acquainted
with each other and are free to all
One of our ladies makes aprons and
two others sunbonnets, for the society
netting quite sum for us. Give them
a call. We tie comfortables and have
sold nearly 300 lbs. of Aunt Jemima's
Baking Powder for which we receive
40 per cent of sales. During all OF
these years our pastors and their wives
have aided us by giving us of theil
time, talents and money, and oul
present pastor and his "Sweet" wife are
no exceptions. The official board have
also stood by us and our janitors have
been very faithful and rendered eff
cient help. Our society has suffered
during the hard times for the last few
years as have all others. but we believe
"under every cloud there is a silver
lining" and we are not cast down mol
discouraged but feel that we have just
cause to be thankful for the measure
of our success. The total amount
raised since our organization is $8,027.
IL. Our unpaid pledge is less thar
81, 400 and we feel sure that it will al
be paid before the dawn of the 20tf
century.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an infiamed condiction of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

A SUCCESSFUL LIFE.
The Theme Of Strong Sermon by Rev.
C. v. Northrop, Sunday Evening.

L. V. N0rtnrOp, sunday Evening.
The large congregation which filed
the body and gallery of the auditorium of
the Baptist church, Sunday evening,
was well repaid for Drawing the storm
that prevailed without. Master Fred
Daily, the boy soloist, with a marvellous
soprano voice, sang three selections very
effectively. Pastor Northrop was at his
best and gave most excellent sermon
which was listened to with close atten-
ton. He spoke as follows:
Joshua liz: The book of the law shall not
depart out of thy mouth, but thou shalt
mediate therein day and night, that
thou mayest observe to do according
to all that is written therein; then thou
shalt make thy way prosperous, and
thou shalt have good success
That sounds truly American. There is
something in that magic word success"
that inspires all hearts and sets in motion
mighty purposes. A great future in bus
ness, in society, in politics, in scholar
ship, in civil and church affairs, awaits
the coming youth. Shall he be well
equipped for the conflict? Shall he be
we'll panoplied from head to foot in chris.
tian character? Then he must make the
right start. A mistake here will be felt
throughout the entire life. Success can
not be attained with leap and bound; 1t
will not spring up as did Jonah's gourd,
in night. 1t has to be achieved.
Young people may laugh about the
moral precepts and christian teachings of
father and mother when they launch out
into life, but it will be laughter turned
into weeping before life is finished. The
BASIS of life work is seriously essential.
Gods book must be written with pen
of iron in the heart; the Word must be-
come part and parcel of ones being if
one would prosper. The reason that men
fail by the Thousands is because of wrong
moral foundation. The reason that men
60 to pieces in theology, after occupying
pulpits Of trusts of years, is the fact that
they started wrong. They never were
truly encased in the deeply imbedded
principles Of christianity when they put

LADIES' AID SOCIETY
Of the First NJ. {. Church.
The Good Work
1T HAS DONE IN THIS CITY.
History From the Beginning TO the
Present ime.-.tTwenty Years HI asst.
iIng.''-Paper Read at 2Oth Ami
versary Celebration.

The following history of the Ladies'
Aid Society of the First M. E. church
was read at the recent celebration Of
its twentieth anniversary, by Mrs.
Daniels:
In the spring of 1878 there was or
ganized by the pastor of this church.,
Rev. G. r. Kellerman, a society whose
preamble read as follows: "This
society shall be called the Ladies Aid
Society of the M. E. church Of Owosso,
and shall have for its object the inter-
est of the church and the raising of
money for various objects pertaining
to the welfare of the church." 1t
started out amid many discourage
ments but was guided by the kindly
and wise counsels of the pastor, and
aided by his wife. Wisely and well was
the foundation laid.
From that time to this, the society
has never disbanded, never changed its
name nor object, and very seldom its
chief officers. We have had but six
different presidents, Mrs. l.. Hopkins
being the first elected. She held the
Office for five years and was succeeded
by Mrs. w. II. Boice, who served for
one year, and Mrs. Hopkins again held
the office for two years, Mrs. Mary
Snider one year. Mrs. j. T. Peters was
then elected, but before the year was
finished she was stricken with paralysis
and the Lord called her home. Mrs.
Snider was again elected for one year,
followed by the writer who was presi-
dent five years. Mrs. Hopkins again
stood at the helm for one year and was
succeeded by Mrs. Mary LOCKER, our
present president, who has held the
Office nearly four years, and so faith
fully and acceptably has she worked
for the best interests of the society that
we think she has it for life. Nine Sec
retaries have kept the records of the
society. Mesdames Emma Van Tuyle,
Emma Morton, o. G. Seelye, M. E.
Densmore, Alice Henderson, G. Cole,
A. w. johnson, the writer, and the
present very efficient secretary, Mrs.

American Securities Abroad.

The sales of American securities have
been according to London advices, very
large abroad of late. Ii this state of things
holds, there will be an increasing influx OF
British gold into this market. This dem
onstrates the faith abroad In the stability
of our credit. There Is another point OF
faith for which the people not only of this,
but foreign countries have good ground for
credence, and that is belief In the efficacy
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters for inorganic
maladies which affect the stomach, liver,
bowels, kidneys and nerves. Dyspepsia,
biliousness, constipation and rheumatism
are conqured by It, 1t hastens GONZALES
ceDce, and diffuses generous warmth and
sensation Of physical comfort through the
system.

J. B. Gronaugh Of Mullen idaho is at the
Ryan. Mr.. Gronaugh is engaged IN the mer
chandise business at Mullen, and says that
one Of the principal things which has injured
business in Idaho is the constant labor trou-
bles which they have been having during the
last few years. A scale has been adopted
and at present most Of the lead mines are
running. Mr.. GrOnaugh says II is only
question Of a short time until smelling plants
will be located in Idaho, which would save
them the cost Of freight On the raw material
to Helena and would probably reduce the
price Of lead to the consumer. He says money
is easier in the West.

opening the way with their question,
What do we get7" to her sharing IN
the division? Here Is no "going to
take" but the actual taking, and why
should we not also take?
Then, again, we want Hawaii SO as

at least a share Of China? What we
now have makes Hawaiian trade tnsig-

they now shut them out from their

growers Of our Northwest building
hopes on the developing flour markets
In China? Do not the New England cot
ton mills find there their largest foreign
market? Are not our capitalists even
now engaged IN building railways
there? If 1t Is so desirable that our
home market" be enlarged by taking
Hawaii into the home" why Is it not
equally, nay more desirable to en-
large the home market with a gen.

in the argument for the annexation
Of the one it is equally present in that

fess surprise at the apathy of this ad-
ministration while the partition Of

COUNTESS OF KLoNDTKE.

If the news from Blenheim penetrat-
ed to his last abode the late Col Van
derbilt must have been restless In his
grave at the thought Of the Duchess
Of Marlborough capering about for the
edification of the nobility of England.
And yet that Is what it Is to be
duchess. Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt
posed in living pictures until the end
OF time and England would never have
turned hair, but when her grace
takes part in tableaux and sings in a
musical burlesque the world waits in
breathless silence to hear all about 1t.
The war news from the East is neglect
ed while the cable flashes the news to
all the world that the duke and OUCH
ess played their parts, and doubtless
played them badly.
Yet greatest credit is due the man
who wrote the burlesque and assigned
the parts. It cannot be that the Eng
lish lack sense Of humor The ge-
MUS who conceived the idea Of casting
her grace Of Marlborough as the
Countess Of Klondike must be a mas
ter Of biting jests. The Countess Of
Klondike is role that fits the duchess
like glove. Not the richest claim at
Dawson could have panned out for the
impecunious nobleman so abundantly
as has his bride from the states, load
ed down with good, hard American
dollars. In only one other role could
the duchess have appeared to better
advantage. AS a Christmas tree, load
ed down with sweets and bon-bons for
her English husband, the sarcasm
might have been more apparent though
hardly less caustic.
However, on with the dance and the
musical burlesque and the tableaux. It
is what Americans are for, to provide
dollars and amusement to the old
world. 1t Is recompense enough that
their names are cabled back to their
native land, coupled with a varied as
sortment Of noble titles. None So hap
by as he or she who fiaunts the cap
and bells and thinks them signs Of roy
atty.
