During the winter of 1897 James
Reed. one of the leading citizens and
merchants of Clay, Clay Co.. W. Va,
struck his leg against a cake of ice in
such a manner as to bruise it severe
". 1t became very much swollen
and panied him so badly that he could
not walk without the aid of crutches.
He was treated by physicians, also
used several kinds of Iiniment and
two and half gallons of whisky in
bathing it, but nothing gave any re-
lief until he began using Cham ber-
lain's Pain Balm. This. brought al
most a complete cure in a week 5 time
and he believes that had he not used
this remedy his leg would have had
to be amputated- Pain Balm is uu-
equaled for sprains. bruises and rheu-
matism. For sale by all druggists.

Carriers monthly for Nav.

Carriers Monthly Magazine, published
in Chicago, and edited by Opie Reed, is
making rapid strides in the public favor.
1t is the only 10 cent magazine in Chi
cage devoted exclusively to American
literature, and is certainly supplying the
need for western magazine. Each
month the magazine presents an inter
esting table of contents, consisting of
short stories, sketches of travel and arti-
cles of general interest, all profusely IL
Illustrated; but in addition to this each
number contains an article of a philo
sophical, economic or scientific nature.
The leading article in the May number
is 'Weltmerism, the New Era in Heal
ing" This is a capable review of the
Weltmer method of Magnetic Healing
the new science that is creating so
much interest in the United States and
Europe The article takes up the ques-
ton from a scientific standpoint, and
shows the fundamental principles upon
which the science is based. The Welt
mer method of magnetic healing is win
ming the admiration of the most noted
physicians, for nearly all the cures eff
fected had been given up by doctors as
hopeless. The remarkable success at
tending his discoveries has stamped Prof.
S. A. Weltmer as one of the great men
of the age.

A NEW law is in effect with reference
to the filing of certificates of births and
deaths. Prior to this time the law has
provided that certificates of deaths
should be filed with the register of deeds
and that the fee Of 25 cents should be
paid by the county to the physician filing
such certificates. Those certificates
which physicians faileu to file were to be.
filed by the health department. This
provision was somewhat complicated
throughout, and has been modified I'M
der the new law. The measure now in
effect provides that all death certificates
be filed with the Health department.

turns to the register of deeds.-Madison

The law Furnishes severely the offense
of placing INSTRUCTIONS, upon railroad
tracks or wrecking trains and yet il, all
we read about the railway squabble at
GAINESVILLE this week be true, employees
of both the Milwaukee and North West
ern lines have committed offenses on
anothers' right of way that would send
them to prison for the better part of
their lives. Why should employees act
ing under instructions of superiors, wan
tonly crash loaded trains into one
another's cars, endangering lives and
maliciously destroying thousands of dol
lars of property be allowed to commit
such overt acts and escape prosecution?
If an individual should do as much as
place single obstruction oG the tracks
of either of these lines, prison sentence
would await their conviction. And yet
to prevent little business advantage
distractions have been spiked across
main lines, trains derailed and property
destroyed without regard to it's value or
consequence. Such offenses against the
peace and dignity of the state ought not
to be permitted by the authorities
charged with maintaining law and order.

Taxing Bicyclea

The bill of Representative Shall
cross totax bicycles one dollar each,
will hardly become law. A more.
unpopular measure could not be
proposed, as the young folks are
not prepared to submit to any such
exaction. One thousand dollars it
is said would be realized from this
law. This would barely pay the
salary of our meat inspector. It
would be wiser to abolish the Office
Or unite it with that Of the Clerk of
the Market, than to oppose this tax.
If funds are so badly needed why
not abolish the Office Of meat in
spector, and dispense with various
c1erkships, some Of which are Of
little more use than placing another
wheel on a wagon. We had better
see if the salaries Of certain officers
could not be reduced before little
things like bicycles shall be made
