From Mooi river Sir William Mac
Cormac, England's distinguished SUR
geon, who took the field with the sol
diers in South Africa. sends to the Lon
don Lancet an interesting set OF notes
on the remarkable bullet wounds he
has seen recently. The greater NUM-
Der Of these wounds" he says, were
caused by the Mauser BULLET, and near
ly all presented the characteristic fea-
turesa small circular, slightly de-
pressed area covered by black .scab.
The exit wounds often we're similar,
but little larger, sometimes pres nr-
ing scar like an incised wound and
difficult to discover. When I saw them
a week or ten days after the injury
they were for the most part healed.
How these bullets fail to damag vital
structures lying Immediately in their
path Is nothing short of marvellous.
The proportion of fatal chest wounds
to those that are recovered from is be-
lieved to be small. but what the pro-
portion precisely is cannot yet be
learned. 1t is abundantly clear that
one lung and often both lungs may
be traversed, and in many directions,
without causing grave symptoms, and
often without producing any symp-
toms of lung trouble at ALL" A pri-
vate who looked extremely we'll and
said he had nothing to complain OF
had hole seven inches long and three
inches wide in his chest, which involv-
ed the lungs. Part Of three of his
rigs were carried away and the lung
was exposed. The soldier lay II
trench on the field from 2:30 u 5
o'clock before he could be attended to.
He was carried to the hospital at 1890
o'clock that night Another private
was hit in the middle Of the nose and
the bullet passed out the back of the
neck. He had little headache. and
some trouble in swallowing, but in ten
days the wound healed and the man
apparently was perfectly we'll.

The ancients believed that rheuma-
tism was the work of demon with a
man. Any one who has had an attack
of sciatic or inflamatory rheumatism
will agree that the infection is de-
moniac enough to warrant the belief.
1t has never been claimed that
Chamberlain's Pain Balm would cast
out demons, but it will cure rheuma-
tism, and hundreds bear testimony to
the truth of this statement. One APP
plication relieves the pain, and this
quick relief which it affords is alone
worth many times it's cost. For sale

DIES MONIES, APRIL 80, 1900.
The past week was warmer than
usual in all parts of the State, the
daily excess ranging from 80 to 70.
The rainfall was generally very
light in the eastern and central dis
trict, and quite heavy in the south
west and west central district. AT
Thurman, Fremont county, the
amount reported was 4.72 inches,
and at numerous points in the Mis-
souri, Valley, there were showers
every day during the week, greatly
hindering farm work in that section.
In all districts there has been a
satisfactory growth of small grain
and pasturage. EARLY sown fields
are generally showing excellent
stands and the pastures are now
ample for the support of stock
Except in limited area, visited by
frequent showers, the conditions
we're favorable for blowing and the
preparations for planting. In some
favored localities in the central and
southern districts corn planters
were started on the 9th and 2Stl
and with favorable weather a con
siderable area will be planted the
first week in May.
In the southern and central dis
tricts the earlier varieties of frui
trees are in full bloom; and in the
northern localities the blooming
period is close at hand.
The week closed with cold wave
on Sunday night and light frost
were observed, Monday morning
but no damage resulted. The out
look for fruit is generally good.

Friday morning about one o'clock
our people were startled from their
peaceful slumbers by the wild peals
of the fire bell upon the still night
air. Hurriedly dressing, the newly
organized fire company made a
rush for the hose and engine and in
very short time were at the scene
of the fire, which proved to be the
building on Main street occupied
by Frank Vickery's harness shop.
Yet fast as the boys got
around, ere they could turn the
water on, the flames had burst
through the roof and were shooting
their Hurled tongues high in the air.
AS soon, however, as the engine got
into action, steady, strong stream
under control. Most of the stock
had been carried out, but the water
did it considerable damage, more
perhaps than the insurance will
cover. The amount of insurance on
the building will probably cover
the damages. The fire company is
to be commended for their prompt
ness in turning out and the good
work they do. They sadly need,
however, some rubber clothing to
protect them, and our citizens
should see that funds are supplied
to cover costs of procuring these
| things. No one knows when his
property will catch fire and few
dollars expended tor supplies may
save many dollars in the long run.
