Josh Westafer of Loogootee, Ind, is a poor man, but he says he would not be without Chamberlain's Pain Balm if it cost $5 bottle, for it saved him from being a cripple. No external application is equal to this linament for stiff and swollen joints, contracted muscles, stiff neck, sprains and rheu- matic and muscular pains. It has also cured numerous cases of partial pa- ralysis. It is for sale by all druggists.

OAkyILLE HAPPENINGS.
BEE HUNTERS BROUGHT BACK A
 RICH HAUL.

Hunters Locate Big Tree Filled With
 Honey-Captured the Bees and
 Honey.-Surveyors at Work Again.
 Oakville Wants That Seiectman. i David Cushman, William Capewell and Mr.McDonald are considered lucky mortalS in one sense of the word on account of a recent discovery. A few days ago CuShman and Capewell start ed out together in search of a bee tree. They traced the bees mile after mile and yet the tree where honey lay awaiting a taker could not be found. At last after seeral hours the tree was found on the old Woodruff prop erty called the Oak Tree farm now oc- cupied by Mr. McDonald The tree was a massive one and quite hollow. MT. Mcdonald arrived and with the necessary permission, axes and saws, the tree soon fell to the ground. With the aid of mosquito netting for pro- tection Capewell and Cushman smoked out the swarm of bees and lifted 3S pounds of delicious honey from the cavity. An equal amount in the comb was crushed and spoiled by the fall of the tree and could not be saved ex- cept for the bees. MT. Capewell cap tured the swarm in hive and brought them home. The honey was evenly divided among the three par ties.
 The selectman agitation is becoming more pronounced The Oakville can didate for the position is being pushed ahead strongly. He will be a good vote getter. He owns teams and can carry up the voters to Watertown and will get their votes regardless of par ty. The Watertown politicians must know who he is by this time.
 Eugene Murphy will give up his po- sition at the pin factory Saturday evening to take position with Maur- ice Mccarthy in his new store and on the delivery wagon.

 William Middlebrook and William Robinson went to Stratford yesterday on brief fishing trip. Both are expert with rod and reel and their friends are expecting a fish dinner tomorrow.
 The Baird Machine Company re- ceived large order yesterday for the Baird tilting tumbling barrels.
 Again a number of men are at work surveying along the proposed new change of route in the trolley extension which will pass along the bank of the river by the pin factory. Evidently the exact layout of the road has not as yet been decided in this particular section. An effort was made to see General Manager Sewell of the Connec- ticut Railway and Lighting Company last night regarding the prospects of obtaining a temporary shelter this winter at the present trolley terminus. Mr. Sewell happened to be in New York.
 Mrs. Philo Newell. former resident of the village, was visiting here yester- day afternoon.

LONE VOLTS CASE.
Court Of Appeals Denies Appliea'
ton for Special Appeal.
The OPINION OF The COURT GIVEN.
The Case Can Proceed In the District su-
preme Cont with the Right Of Ap.
peal Then TO the Two High.
or Courts.

Washington, June 26.-The court
Of appeals yesterday denied the ap-
plication of Lone Wolf and other
Kiowa and Comanche Indians for
special appeal from the decision OF
Judge Bradley, refusing an injunc-
ton against the secretary OF the in
terror and other officials to prevent
the opening Of the Kiowa, Comanche
and Apache lands In Oklahoma. AS
sistant Attorney General Vandeven-
ter argued for the government and
ex-Congressman W. II. Springer for
the Indians.
The court held that the case did
not justify a special appeal. But
the case should be disposed Of" he
said, "by final decree from which
an appeal may be taken in regular
course, and from the decree of this
court an appeal may be taken to the
supreme court Of the United States.
The great object in obtaining pre-
lim'nary injunction is to prevent i'm
mediate action by the executive de-
partnent. but we suppose that such
reasonable delay may be obtained as
will enable the compliments to avail
themselves Of the right OF appeal from
a final decree that may be passed in
the case"
The court holds Judge Bradley's
denial of the injunction to be an in
terlocutory order and not final de-
cree and says the case must proceed
in the district supreme court, with
the right to appeal then to the court
Of appeals and the United States ST.

A CABINET MEETING.
Little Done at the Meeting Of the Presi-
dents Advisers Except Talking Over
Secretary Hays Afiilction.

Washington, June 26.--The cabinet
meeting yesterday was brief. Much
of the time was spent in talking over
the deep affection which has come to
Secretary Hay. The president had a
short note from Secretary Hay advis-
ing him that after the funeral at
Cleveland he would return to New
bury, N, H., with Mrs. Hay and his
children. How long he would remain
there the secretary did not say. The
gossip concerning Secretary Hays
possible retirement from the cabinet
was referred to, but not seriously.
II the secretary should suggest such
q step the president and the cabinet
will strongly advise against It, The
president has written a letter to the
secretary conveying his sympathy
and urging him not to give way to his
sorrow.

FREIGHT RATES.

terests" alliances of the trunk lines
of the country. Charges are made
that, following these movements of
consolidation, freight rates have
been advanced from 80 to 80 per cent.
through quiet and organized manipu-
laton of the various classifcations of
commodities. Merchandise formerly
in class A has been placed under class
2, with consequent increase of 30
per cent. in shipment charges, and so
on through the voluminous tabulated
classifcations of all commodities.
Behind the movement to attack this
scheme of freight advances by ap-
plying to the interstate commerce

for n still more vigorous blow. The
compliments intend to press a de-
mand that congress shall take a

WORLDS FAIR SITE.


ST. Louis, June 26.-At Its regular
monthly meeting yesterday the board
of directors of the Louisiana Pur-
chose Exposition company unani-
mously adopted the report OF the
executive committee, which had Sc
lected the Forest park site as its
choice for the location of the worlds
fair, to be held in this city in 1903.
A resolution was then passed empow'
ering the executive committee to re-
port the result Of the boards action
to the national commission for rati-
fication. President Carter and other
members Of the national commission
have stated all along that they would
defer largely to the judgment OF the
local worlds fair management in the
matter OF the site, and 1t Is not
thought that there will be any delay
in the ratification of the action of the
local directors.
The site selected consists OF 66s
acres in the western, or unimproved
portion Of Forest park, which con-
tains between 1900 and l,40O acres
and is the second largest city park
in the country. In addition 45O acres
adjoining on the south and west are
available. This makes q total OF j.
11s acres, or one-third more space
than was used by the Columbian ex-
position in Chicago.
The park is said to have the most
adequate transportation facilities OF
any in the world, and there are guar
antces that the present service OF
steam and electric railways will han
die 3OOOOO persons day, and can
readily be doubled. Forest park Is
within easy walking distance OF more
than 100000 residents. 1t is four
miles from the union station and 5R
miles west from the Eads bridge.

TO INCREASE CORN YIELD.
The Agricultural Department Experiment.
Ing to Make Cornfelds Yield Fifty to
seventy-Five Bushels Per Acre.

Washington, June 26.-Experiments
are being conducted at the agricul-
tural department with view to in
creasing and doubling, If possible, the
corn crop of this country without ad-
ditional expense or labor and without
even increasing the area now under
cultivation. These experiments con-
sist of cross-breeding, from which
wonderful results are expected, dem
onstrating to the farmers the great
Importance of selecting only the best
stock for planting. By the cross
breeding process the nitrogen con-
tents of the corn will be increased,
and the care in selecting stock for
planting will be instrumental in
bringing about tremendous yield.
Already 10000 specimens Of hybrids
have been grown, and some OF these
are promising, although it will be
nearly two years before practical
demonstrations can be given, and not
until that time will the department
be in o position to furnish samples.
The department is, however, pre-.
pared to give some wholesome advice
to the farmers with regard to produce
inp an increased Weld next wear. In
general way this advice is to Sc
lect proper seed for planting, which
have yielding qualities. Farmers of
the corn-producing sections of the
west will have their pockets lined
with the yellow metal il they follow
the advice of the department, accord.
ing to these experts, as it would not
be extraordinary if each acre pro-
duced from 50 to rs bushels.

roo Many Doctors.

Statistics of the country relating to
physicians indicate the possibility, If
not the actually, of overcrowding in
the medical profession. 1t was found
in the census year that there was
one registered physician to every 65s
people in the United States. That the
number Is In excess Of the need is
evidenced by comparison with Ger.

one physician to each ala inhab-

as many as in the United States.

Pittsburg, Pa, June 26.-Yesterday
was the record heat day Of the year,
The thermometer lowering around o2
degrees from early morning until
nightfall. Edward Galloway, aged 20
years, died from the effects OF the
extreme heat and among the many
prostrations reported James Owens,
Of Braddock; Charles Dougherty and
Proctor Gray, Of Hampton, Va, are
considered by the physicians as be-
ine serious cases. Between Is and
100 men were driven from the Home
stead steel works by the heat, and
the National tube works at McKees-
port suspended work in several of its
departments. Many other plants will
have to close down II the hot spell is
not broken.
A Butcher succumbs at South Omaha.
Omaha, Neb., June 26.--The highest
temperature reached yesterday was
e7 degrees, one degree lower than the
highest mark Of Monday. Strong
winds prevented such heat oppression
as to cause casualties except in one
instance. At South Omaha yesterday
Ulrich Andreeg, aged A., single, a
butcher by trade, succumbed, death
following in few hours. The heat
following several rainfalls causes the
prediction that this years corn crop
will reach, II not exceed, 3OO,O0O,OOO
