During the winter of 1897 Mr.. James
Reed, one of the leading citizens and
merchants of Clay, Clay Co., w. Va,
struck his leg against cake of ice in
such manner as to bruise it severely.
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 whisky in bathing it,
but nothing gave any relief until he
began using Chamberlain's 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 amputaed. Pain
Balm is unequalled for sprains, bruises
and rheumatism. For sale by Will
Lennon, druggist.

WELLS RUN OF LUCK.

TACOMA, Wash. )-Local gamblers
are discussing with great interest the
meteoric career of young George We'll,
a member of prominent Boston fam
lily, who has made his home in Alaska
for several years. From a 10-cent,
white chip player he has gone to what
is known in the sporting world as a
"limit man." and in a phenomenal run
of luck, he won $1,000 in glittering
gold over a faro table at the California
Club, composed of Dave Argyle, Billy
Dormer and other San Francisco gam
blers, who are operating games here
and at Seattle.
For twenty eight days We'll won al
most every bet staked, his gains rang
ing from $40 at the beginning to $24OO
toward the last. On several occasions
he won well up into the hundreds. So
proverbial became his luck that old
time gamblers followed his lead, with
the result that when his luck turned
the total losings of the California Club
amounted to $4,000. Dave Argyle ad-
mits the truth of the story.
When the cards commenced to run
against him, We'll stayed with it until
the California Club had won back
$4,000 Then he sent the bulk of his
fortune home to Boston.

COCAINE FIENDS ARE IN HARD

81. A." n
NEW YORK-Persons who are ac-
customed to buying cocaine have been
forced to pay much more for it recently
than the normal price. In fact, the
drug has risen from $3.50 an ounce to
$625 an ounce in the last few months.
This is caused by the revolution : in
Peru. That South American republic
raises practically all the raw cocaine
that the world consumes. 1t is man.
ufactured from the leaves of the coca
plant and to supply the demand in this
country the dry leaves are either
shipped north and the drug manufac-
tured here or d coarse native product
made from the leaves in Peru is
brought here and refined by improved
processes.
The revolution has prevented the
gatherers of cocoa leaves from shipping
their product to Lima, the principal
market, hence short supply and an
increased price. g34sE,t
The indications are, however, that
the top notch in the rise in prices has
been reached as Peru shows signs of
settling down again for a short time
at least.

MAINE VICTIMS BODIES.
Not to BE Removed From Key West
Cemetery.

WASHINGTON-Th citizens of Key
West have prevailed on the department
not to remove the remains of the vic
Tins of the Maine, who were inferred in
the cemetery there. They have rep
resented that the town purchased fine
lot in the cemetery, placed an iron
fence around 1t and erected an expensive
monument, which is to be dedicated
this winter. All this was done under
an implied understanding that the re-
mains were not to be removed. More
over, it is reported than only two of
the bodies could be identified, The
department, therefore, will not under
take to remove these bodies.ag Those
buried at Havana, however, about one
hundred and sixty in number, will be
brought home. f8 10 @

The latest report Of the Pension Office
has lately been given to the public. The

which one-fourth represent widows and
other dependents. The amount paid on
this account during the last fiscal year
was $138, 100000. The total outlay for
pensions up to date has been $2,4OO,-
100000, a sum which, as the Outlook

With His Crew.


San Francisco-The owners of the
barkentine Benicia have received in

Captain Bolles of that vessel on No

several members of the sailors union
boarded the barkentine and COM
manded the crew to go ashore, threat
ening them with revolvers. Captain
Bolles was in the cabin and ran on
deck with shotgun. He ordered the
invaders off and they refused to CO.
Just what next occurred is not known,
but it is alleged that Captain Bolles
fired and the leader was badly wounded.
The other man was not concerned in
the trouble and was hit incidentally.
The names of the men are not given.

Appointed a Lieutenant in the Marine
Corps.

WASHINGTON-J. P. v. sGridley, a
son Of the late Charles v. Gridley, who
commanded Admiral Dewey's flagship
at the battle of Manila, was designated
for appointment as a lieutenant in the
marine corps by the President
Young Gridley is too old to enter An
napolis, and the only opening for him
in the navy is by appointment to the
marine corps, but heslacked necessary
education, and, worse than all, the
money for study. The boy was.toc
modest to tell any one of his situation,
butt Admiral Dewey, who loved his
father, suspected and decided to act.
He determined to pay the boys ex-
penses while studying for the lieuten-
ancy. -
He met young Gridley at the white
house and presented him to the Pres
ident. Admiral Dewey started to ex-
plain the situation, when the President
interrupted and said:
"You and I, admiral, will pay his ex-
penses in preparation for examination.
If he fails in the first examination
will give him another chance, but I
am sure he will be ready when the time
comes"
AS Admiral Dewey and the young
man were descending the white house
steps, the admiral was saying to the
son of his old comrade:
Now, You keep an account of your
expenses and let me know what they
are" s8I
At the. foot of sthe steps the admiral
ran into group of newspaper men.
II shall be glad to give you an item
this morning." said the admiral. "The
President has just agreed to designate
this young man, son Of Capt Grid
ley, for examination for ieutenancy
in the marine corps. But he has no
money with which to prepare himself
for the examination. However, The
President and I are going to attend to
that" he added. looking at the son of
his old friend with suspicious moist
ure in his eyes.
Now" said the admiral, as he
turned away, 'let the people of the
country know what sort of President
they have"
