The aucients believed that rheuma-
tism was the work of demon within
a man. ANY one who has had an at
tack of sciatic or infiammatory rheu-
matism will agree that the infliction
is demoniac enough to warrant the
belief. 1t has never been claimed
that Chamberlain Pain Balm would
cast out demons, but it will cure
rheumatism, and hundreds bear testi-
mony to the truth of this statement
One application relieves the pain, and
this quick relief which it affords is

The most important fact is that the

The subject was very thoroughly dis

all the members Of the conference there

that the United States is upon gold

With only thirteen majority IN the
House, the attempt 90 fasten the gold
standard upon the statute books Is felt
by those who participated in the con
ference to be something of hazardous
p-oceeding, but the Western members
insisted that their colleagues would not
bolt from the party when the test
came

Roosevelt in Washington.

Gov. Roosevelt arrived in Washing
'on Saturday evening in response TO q
telegram from Mckinley. He gave out
an interview. saying
Il have come to Washington Al the
request Of the President TO 60 over with
him, and with the officers Of the War
Department, certain questions affecting
the new volunteer army, especially as
regards the personnel Of the officers
The President has told me that he
wishes only recommendations based
upon the efficiency Of the men. and
that he will pay heed to n others
Most certainly l should give no
others, and feel that the President s
attitude in the matter in the face Of
the terrific political pressure to which
he is aud will be subjected, is such as
to entitle him 10 the support Of all men
who feel that politics have no place in
the army, who feel that it is in pecu-
liar sense the property of the whole
country, and that in the giving Of COM
missions and promotions alike absolute
ly no consideration should enter out
side of the merit Of the men as SOL
diers. -
Roosevelt would make no reply to the
question whether he has been rendered
war portfolio. He declares the admin
istration must be supported, and says
those who opposes its policy have
Americans blood on their souls.
