London, Oct. 16.-So far as actual
news is concerned, very little change

castle by the Beers was prepared fo-
and expected, the place having been
abandoned by the British. The

TIE body of dead man was found
in Tumblas pond, two miles from
Perry, Okla, horribly mutilated. A
bullet seemssto have passed entirely
through the head, and on the BODY
were numerous gashes, which seem
to have been inflicted with the edge
of an ak. The o iy had been nearly
divested of clothing, and there is 70

BOERS SOUTH OF KIMBERLY.
Capetown, Oct. 16.-The rumors { f
at Kimberly have all come
through natives who have come down
from the Kimberly neighborhood to
the Oradge river where the English
is still in control of the telegraph and
railway. These reports are not con-
frmed from any ether sources.
Kimberly is surrounded and is in a
state of siege. That much has been
ascertained beyond question.

of the Beers.

During the winter of 1897 Mr..
James Reed, one of the leading citi-
zens and merchants of Clay, Clay
Co., w. Va, struck his leg against a
cake of ice in such a manner as to
bruise it severely. 1t became very
much swollen and panied him so bad
ly that he could hot walk without
the aid of crutcEes. He was treated
by physicians, also used several kinds
of liniment and two and half gal
Ions of whisky in bathing it, but
nothing gave any relief until he be-
gan using Chamberlain's Pain Palm.
This brought almost complete cure
IN weeks time and he believes that
had he not used this remedy his leg
would have had to be amputated.
Pain Palm is unequaled for sprains,
bruises and rheumatism. For sale
