The Right Remedy Will

If YOU would forever be rid of
the aches and pains, and some
;Imes the tortures produced by
Rheumatism, YOU must take the

lInue to suffer are relying upon
remedies which do not reach their
trouble. The doctors treatment
always consists of potash and
mercury, which only intensity the
disease, causing the Joints TO stiff

seriously impairing the digestive
organs.
Rheumatism is diSordered state of

The New Dollar Note.

The new one dollar silver certif-
cate Of the series Of 1899, has been is-
sued by the Treasury Department.
The note IS simplest in design Of any
ever issued by the government, and in
that porticular Is more ike foreign
bank notes than those which have pre-
ceded it. On the face are vignetts Of
Lincoln aud, Grant surmounted by an
eagle with out spread wings bearing
a furled American flag in it. talons.
The seal Of the Treasury Department
and the figure 81 are blue, while the
rest Of the face Is printed in black
On the other side the color is the nor
nal green and Is seyerly plain, there
being no illustrations whatever The
amount Of reading on the bill is very
little, less, in fact. than on any other
note issued by the Government, and
the whole is severely plain but artistic.
Experts say that it is the hardest note
70 counterft Of any issued in this coun-
try, and that its very simplicity adds
to the difficulty in the way Of those
who may endeavor to initiate it, and
that should counterfeits be made they
will be easily detected.

When the stage hands went OH the stage
Tuesday they were confronted by the
animal, who sprungat them twined bis
arms about Manager Stewart legs
and threw him down. He then
jumped for another man, who fled.
The b4boon entered a saloon which IS

The only douk.e- barreled cannon in
the world is owned by the city of
Athens, and Is soon 10 be mounted at
the head of the park on College ave-

There IS history Of unique interest
connected with the cannon. 1t be-
longei to th. Mitcheli-Thunderbolts,
a company Of old men organized at
Atheuz in 1858 purely for home de-
fense. One ofthe company, Mr.. John
Gulelaud. invented the cannon and
had it cast at the Athens foundry.
The idea of M. Gilleland was one of
considerable uniqueress \ hfty-foot

cannon balls was the charge. and the
idea of the inventor was that when
the cannon balls came out Of the muz-
zle Of the cannon, they would have a
tendency to diyergs draw the chain
taut. and nov down an entire compa-
ny. The company took the cannon
out ia the country near Atheu, one

powder would be fired. About five
year. ago the old cannon disappeared,
and not until a few days ago dld

Last week it turned mp in a Jun,

by the city. Mr.. Meumyer, who

War Horses.

1T is remarkable how quickly
horses adapt themselves to the mill
tary service, said an old soldier
Every artilIeryman knows that they
learn the bugle calls and the evolu-
tions quicker than the men, as rule
They soon acquire uniform gait
which is about the same as what We
call the rout step or the usual march
ing step. II the horses did not ac-
ouire the came gait as the infantry,
there would be varying distance be-
between the different arms Of the ser
vice-that Is, between the intautry
and the cavalry, artillery and the
commanders and their escorts. In
the drills in the artillery service the
horses Will preserve their alignment
as well as the infantry rank.
II shall always remember one Illus
tlation OF this trait which noted at
very exciting and critical moment
of battle during our civil war In
order to save some Of our infantry
from being surrounded and captured
the commander Of one of our batteries
quickly mounted the sannoneers on
the guns and put the whole battery
at a dead gallop across a stretch Of
meadow aJout halt mile wide. !
wa. quite accustomed to such sights,
but when that daSh.ng company was
half way across the field I noticed the
inspiring array and fora moment was
lost in rapt admiration of the maguid-
cent picture.
Every driver was plying whip and
spur, the great guns were rocking and
laundering over the ground, and
every horse, reeking with foam and
full Of animation and excitement, was
straining every muscle as he galloPed
forward, yet a straight line drawn
along in front would have touched
the noses of the lead horses in front
of the SIX guns. That was an artillery
charge, one of the most thrilling sight
in the eyolutions of war
at is surprising how quickly horses
learn the bugIe call Let the first
note of the feed or water call be
sounded, and instantly there will be a
stamping, kicking and neighing among
the horses. Once, during terrible
nigh. storm in camp, our horses were
seized with such terror that thos. Of
nearly every battery broke loose and
scattered about. The next morning
there was wild rush among the ar
tillerymen to capture horses for use.
All was excitement, and the horses
refused to be caught An officer or
dered the bugler to give the feed call.

The Decay OF Jerusalem.

Disappointed is the dominant I'M
preston left in the Kaissrs mind 10y
his visit to the Holy Land. HIS adj
dress to the Evangelical clergy at
Bethlehem, now first published, can
dilly expressed that feeling. 1t says:
"To describe the impressions OF the
last few days ! must say ! am above
all thiugs very disappointed. ! did
not want to say that here, but As We
have heard that my Court Chaplain
felt the same thing, will not keep 1t
from you 1t may be that the unfay-
orable approach to the town Of Jeru-
salem contributed to this, but when
one sees this state Of things at the
holy places and what goes on there, it
cuts into one heart
"Only Christian life can make an
impression upon the Mohammedans
Nobody can wonder # they have no
respect for the Christians name, for
in ecclesIasticaI matters Christians are
divided They must even be prevent
ed by force from quarreling with one
another at this sacred spot
The Emperor has said since his re-
turn Ny visit TO Jerusalem -hatter-
ed the dearest illusion Of my heart.
Its ,1uahd and nndignifed decay is
iudegcrIbable."
