chicago, NOV. 10
Some weeks ago DR.. c., very reput-
able and widely-knowt physician, living on
c. Street, was called to attend 0. very
complicated case of Rheumatism. Upon
arriving at the house he found man about
forty years Of age, lying in Frustrated and
serious condition, with. his whole. frame
dangerously affected With the painful dis
ease. He prescribed for the patlebtj but
the man continued to grow worse, and on
Sunday evening he was found to be in a
very alarming condition. The knees and ell
bows and larger joints, were greatly IN
famed, and could not be moved: 1t was
only with extreme difficulty that the Pc;
tient could be turned in bee, with the ai9
Of three or four persons. The weight OF
the clothing was SO painful that means had
to be adopted TO keep it from the patients
body. :,
The doctor saw that his assistance would
be of no avail, and left the house, the mem,
bers of the family following him to the
door, weeping Almost Immediately the
Erief-stricken ones were addressed by an
humble German He had heard OF the
despair of the family; land how asked them
to try his remedy, and Accordingly brought
forth a bottle of st. Jacobs OIL: The poor
wife applied this remedy. The first appli
cation eased the patient very much; after
a few hours they used it again, and, won.
der of wonders, the pain vanished entirely
Every subsequent application improved the
patient, and in two days ne was well and
out. When the doctor called few day.

Amendments Gated.

Secretary of State Power has re-

ty-three Of the seventy-fve counties

the congressional vote to be even
smaller than the lowest estimates,
and it is now doubtful if it goes in
excess of 10000, which is the small
est that has been recorded in Missis-
sippi since the war. Over one-half
of the counties have reported, and
the total vote from those in hand is
only 1862. The three amend
ments continue to run behind the
congressional vote, and there is no

FREE DELIVERY SERVICE.
Cstimate of What Complete Rural Free
Delivery Service VIII Cost
the Country.


Washington; Nov. s:-The annual
gross cost of a complete rural free de-
livery service throughout the United
States will approximate $24,0oO,ooo,
according to the annual report which
First Assistant Postmaster-Genera
Wynne received from August w.
Machen, the general superintendent Of
The service. The remaining 100000
square miles not now covered by rural
free delivery, according to the report,
will require the employment of $4,000
or $4,000 carriers in addition to those
now employed, making the entire
force of carriers when the extension
of the service is completed, within the
next three years, 10000. After this
extension is completed the annual rate
of increase in the appropriations is ex-
pected not to exceed eight or nine per
cent, the rate maintained in other
branches of the postal service. To ex-
tend the service 10000 routes year
until 1t becomes Universal, the report
says; will require such increased APP
preparations that the annual post Of;
flee deficits for the ensuing two or
three years win probably reach S.
100000 or $10,0O0,0oo, if not more; but
once the service is completed the adj
ditional revenue derived will soon re-
duce the deficits to present figures, if
not entirely wipe them out.
The Service in Demand.
During the year 1902, L., 4O3 petitions
for the service were filed, making a
total on July /, last, of 22,646, which
exceeded by over 1000 the total num-
Der during the preceding four years
Since July petitions received have az
eraged over 600 a month. With the
amount required for routes to begin
December 1 the entire appropriation
has been absorbed, leaving, on Deccm.
Der 1, fully 1,700 routes for which
there is no appropriation available
This number probably will be in
creased by January to at least 2,50O
Mr.. Wynne and Mr.. Machen say that
to comply with the demands of the
people and of members of congress
the department will require an add;
tional appropriation, otherwise fur
Their establishment of service will be
deferred until July l next. If the id!
ditional funds are granted $4,000 rural
free delivery letter carriers will be
in active service by May 1. The esti-
mates call for ten division superin.
tendents, an INCREASE of three in NUM-.
Der.
An Army of Letter Carriers.
On July last the city free delivery
service embraced 933 cities, including
four in the insular possessions, and
the total number of uniformed letter
carriers in the city service was 1855,
as against 16,3S9 the previous year. 1t
is estimated that the free delivery will
be extended to ~ offices during the
current year. It is also estimated that
the expenditure will aggregate $2t,'
1928, 300 for the maintenance and extern
sion of city delivery service during the
fiscal year beginning July /, 1908, in
Guiding $4,000 for special delivery
service, which branch has been added
to the free delivery system during the
past year. These figures show an in
crease over appropriations for the
current year of $685., $50.
