MIR. Editor:-For the good Of suffer-
ing humanity, and particularly those
suffering from that most dreadful dis
ease, rheumatism, we desire to inform
your readers that the only specific in
the world today for this disease is our
Five Drops" remedy. Five Drops
is the name, and Five Drops" is the
dose. 1t is not only acknowledged
specific by the many thousands who
have been cured by its use, but II Is
now acknowledged to be such by the
medical profession, many OF whom use
this remedy in their daily practice, and
they state to us that it is the only
thing with which they can cure the
rheumatism. This remedy not only
positively cures this disease, but IL
never has failed and 1t never can fail
to cure any and all of the following
diseases: Sciatica, Lumbago, Neural
gia. Catarrh, Creeping Numbness'
Nervousness, Asthma, Heart Weak
ness, Toothache, Earache, La Grippe.
and diseases of the liver and kidneys.
Five Drops" is not patent medicine
but was perfected only after vast re-
search in scientific fields, and at great
expense. 1t never can be fully appre-
ciated until it Is used. Many OF It's
cures border on the miraculous. WORDS
are almost inadequate to express the
great benefit which suffering human
ity Is daily deriving from the use OF
this most wonderful remedy. It's
merits and medicinal properties are as
far above the other remedies offered
for sale as the mountain is above the
valley. 1t is worth its weight in gold
to anyone suffering from any OF the
diseases for which it Is recommended
The price is low and within the reach
Of all, 81 per bottle for full size (30O
doses), prepaid by mail or express, or
six bottles for SIS. Anyone desiring to
test its efficacy without ordering full
size bottle, can have 20 cent sample

The recent purchase of $4,000 tons
Of 85-pound steel rails by the Balti-
more G Ohio Railroad brings the total
amount Of rail bought since March l,
1896, up to 115,3OO tons, enough to
relay $40 miles of track. OF the new
rail ordered eight thousand tons is to
be laid on the lines west Of the Ohio
river, and twenty thousand tons is to
be used as follows: Forty-four miles
on the Philadelphia division, IL miles
on the Second division, 10 miles on
the Third division. 80 miles on the
Fourth division, 81 miles on the Fifth
division, 10 miles on the Connellsville
division and 81 miles on the Pittsburg
division. Much of the rail that will
be taken up is still good enough to
be relaid on branches where traffic Is
not heavy. The Southwestern divi-
sion, between Parkersburg and st.
Louis, will have forty thousand tons
Of rail to lay this spring.

! The Mennonites select pastors by lo,,
and the ceremonies by which the selec-
ton is made are conducted with great
elaboration and solemnity. The peo-
pie meet in church, and after prelim-

retires to an ante-room. A Bible for
each candidate for the pastoral office
is procured, and into one of the sacred
volumes slip of white paper is in

and placed on table, when each can

The popular idea of the upper class
Frenchwoman is, that she Is exceed
ingly fond of dress and style, and the
devoted slave of the latest fashions.
The serious side of her nature is not
SO well known. How many readers are
aware, for instance, that among the
Frenchwomen of the better class there
is an order numbering eighty thousand
members, whose aim is the alienation
of suffering and the general uplifting
of their unfortunate neighbors? 1t is
said that more than one hundred
thousand Frenchwomen are trained

Ono of Queen victoria's Mistakes.

Queen Victoria, some years ago,
when she visited certain sister
hood, desired the superior to show her
the place just as an ordinary visitor,
and not to treat her as queen. The
superior agreed and proceeded to con-
duct her majesty all over the building.
The queen was very much interested,
but observed that wherever they went
the sisters courtesied. At last she re-
marked to her guide: II thought l
made you understand that l wished to
be treated as an ordinary visitor? Why,
then, Is every one courtesying?
Pardon me. madam" replied the
mother; you have been obeyed. The
reverence shown by the sisters was not
intended for their queen, but for me,
their superior"

A Language of 800 Words.

In the more inaccessible parts OF the
Sierra Madre mountains, in northern
Mexico, live curious people called
the Tarahumaris. Many of them dwell
in caves, but they have also small
villages, all of which are situated
about 5000 feet above sea level. The
Tarahumaris are small in body, but
possessed Of much endurance. Their
only food is maize, and they manufac-
ture drink called teshuin from the
same cereal. Their language is lin
tied to ebout 300 words, and they can
not count beyond ten.

In removing altogether from tbe
Philippines and placing the lives and

Germany has exchanged doubtful

RACES punished without disregarding
the sovereign rights transferred by
Spain to the United States. A claim
against the natives would be a doubt
full one, because 1t could not be col

collision with the United States, and
the cost Of collection would in that
case far exceed the amount of the

A Merciful EmperOr.

This anecdote is related of the Aus

pronounced in criminal court, and
the document was brought in to the
emperor for his signature. He had

out the letters. The emperor folded
the paper together and handed it to
his secretary, saying: Tears wipe out
all guilt. l cannot subscribe the judy
ment. My name is obliterated; de-

What Congress Did, and Omitted to Do.
The last Congress passed some
measures proposed for the advantage
of labor, but failed in the matter of
most importance-the eight-hour bill
which was killed in the Senate after
it had passed the House by a ulani-
nous vote. Among the measures that
became law note the bill for the i'm
provement of the condition of the sea-
men, which protects them in the exer-
else Of the right to quit work in any
American port, or in any nearby for
eign country, etc.; the railroad arbi-
tration bill; the bill creating the fed
eral commission to investigate indus
trial affairs; a bill to restore wages of
government printing Office employees to
81 per day. The anti-convict labor
bill, the injunction bill, and the eight
hour bill failed to pass. Discussing
the work of Congress, Mr.. Samuel
Gompers says:
"The utility of the Federal Labor
Commission is problematical. The
makeup of the commission renders it
extremely doubtful that tangible re-
suits will follow. The action of its
chairman, Senator Kyle, as chairman
of the Senate committee on education
and labor, who introduced the eight
hour bill, had 1t referred to the COM
mittee of which he was chairman.

The Illinois Mining Troubles.

Late mining news from Illinois
shows that Governor Tanner did
something substantial for labor when
he chose to protect the people instead
of corporation, at time when he
had to do one or the other. and could
not do both. The Virden Coal Com
pany, prior to and during the riot Of
last year, contemptuously refused to
arbitrate, but 1 notice that it has ex-
perienced change of heart, and now
stands ready to do, voluntarily, that
which it said armies could not drive
II to do. The convention Of coal oper-
ators and miners of Illinois recently
adopted the agreement and scale rec
commended by the Joint Scale Com
mittee, ratifying the Pittsburg agree
ment, and carrying with it the modi-
fled Columbus and Springfield agree
ments. The operators in the Pana
and Virden districts object to the price
fixed-4O cents-claiming that condi-
tions peculiar to their mines make it
unfair to them. They propose to rec
tify the inequality. And mark how
they are going to do it. Miners Of
ficials state that "the operators and
miners in that district will call upon
the State Board of Arbitration to fix
the mining price," Exactly what the
miners wanted to do last year; exactly
what Governor Tanner wanted the
coal company to consent to do; exact
ly what the arrogant managers of that
corporation declared they would never
do, no matter what might be the cost
of their refusal, in money, blood, and
life. We all know that the cost was
great. Much property was destroyed;
men were wounded and killed, some
most brutally. But today, rejoice to
see, the coal company offers to do what
1t hitherto refused to do, and I have
no doubt that just price for mining
in that district will be fixed.
It's a good thing to occasionally
get governor who realizes that men
and women, natural persons created
by God, have greater rights than cor
porations, which are artificial per-
sons created by law. 1 think If we
had more men in high places who
would not lose sight of the fact, and
would act accordingly, 1t would not be
so difficult to curb the greed that just
now manifests itself in efforts to syn
dictate all industries, and make of the
earth one great trust property, which
no man may walk upon except by
permission Of the boss of the combine.
