During the winter of 1897 Mr.. James
Reed, one of the leading citizens and
merchants of Clay, Clay county, w. Va,
struck his leg against cake Of ice
in such manner as to bruise it Sc
verely. 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 liniment and
two and a half gallons OF whiskey in
bathing it, but nothing gave any relief
until he began using Chamberlain
Pain Balm. This brought almost a
complete cure in weeks time and
he believes that had he not used this
remedy his leg would have had to be
amputated. Pain Balm IS unequaled
for sprains, bruises and rheumatism.

Last week was the banner week in this
market for the sale Of tobacco. The
sales were largely in excess of any since
the market opened.
The farmers met on Saturday in the
court house, passed resolutions advising
the lesseningsof the acreage in tobacco
for another year and appointed delegates
to meet with the State convention in

THE REVOLT IN NICARAGUA.
Minister COrrea Calls at the State
Department.

Senor Correa, the minister from Near
aqua, called at the State Department yes
tcrday in reference to the revolution which
has been progress in eastern Nicaragua for
several days past The exact cause of the
uprising is not known here, but it is sup
posed to be one of the first results of the
recent rapid changes in the relations of
the states formerly united in the form of
the Greater Republic of Central America.
AS the revolutionary movement Is SO far
confined entirely to the eastern side of the
country, while Managua the caIitaI and
the seat of the governmental resources is
on the west slope of the mountains, the
difficulty experienced by President Zelaya
IN his endeavors to suppress the movement
are multiplied.
The State Department has been fore
handed in looking after the interests of
the United States and of the American res
idents in the disturbed section.
Already the gunboat Marietta was hov-
erning about the east coast, and now, at the
instance of the State Department, she has
been reinforced by the gunboat Machias
which is probably already arrived at Blue
fields. The political causes which led to
the revolutionary outbreak are said to be
complicated with labor troubles

Members of 4th Ohio hob Macon, Ga,
Merchants

dispatch from Macon, Ga, yesterday
-. ,7ta merchants and business men of
Macon are highly indignant tonight over
,ba atrocinuS robheries committed by the
members of t3.e "a Ohio Regiment today
as thew were being mustered out OF the
service of the United States a large NUM-
her of merchants sent wagons loaded WIN
merchandise out to the camp TO sell TO the
discharged soldiers
The colonel ordered them TO leave the
camp.
The robberies committed by the men did
not end here, but they came to the CITY,
and while under the influence of whisky,
went into several stores and walked out
with goods right in the face of the amazed
merchants. Several of them were arrested,
and after turning over the goods We're re-
leased They also went to houses of ILL
repute and committed all kinds Of depreda-
tons.
This conduct was not general with the
members of the regiment. and is deeply de-
pIores1 by a large number of the better
class OF men. A number of officers OF the
regiment signed the following written state
ment:
The officers and men of the I'd Ohio,
with the exception of the colonel, j. A.
Kuert, feel very much chagrined at the out
rage perpetrated this morning upon sew
eTdl ol YOUR HIeIHHaltS tt lAC CehAhP = o"iiN'
They were there as free American citizens,
selling their goods and delivering them to
men who had previously engaged them.
The colonel ordered them out of the
grounds and threatened to turn the boys
loose on their wares If they did not go.
This was practically telling the men to go
ahead and rob the merchants, and was an
outrage by which a majority of the men are
very much humiliated."
The loss to the Macon merchants will
amount 10 considerable. One merchant had
to close his store, so heavy was his loss.
and he says that he is ruined forever. He
was even robbed of his overcOat, and his
negro driver. who had on a pair of gold
trimmed spectacles, was relieved Of them
A requisition will probably be made on
the governor of Ohio for the return OF
Colonel Kuert to this state for prosecution
for aiding and abetting robbers.
