Read 1t In His Newspaper.

George Schaub, well-known German
citizen of New Lebanon, Ohio, is con-
slant reader Of the Dayton Nolkszeitung.
He knows that this paper aims to adver-
tise only the best In its columns, and
when he saw hamberlain's Pain Balm
advertised therein for lame back, he did
not hesitate in buying a bottle of it for
his wife, who for eight weeks mad suf-
fered with the most terrible pains in her
back and could get no relief. He says:
"After using the Pain Balm for few
days my wife said to me, 4 feel as
though born anew and before using
the entire contents of the bottle the un-
bearable pains had entirely vanished
and she could again take up her house
hold duties" He is very thankful and
hopes that all sufferers likewise will hear
of her wonderful recovery. This valu-
able liniment is for sale by Remnants

The War is Over.

The war between the British and
the Beers in South Africa has been
formally ended, the terms of peace
having been signed by both sides at
Pretoria last Saturday. The terms
are liberal to the Beers, who gain the
important point of promise of self
government at an early date. The
following are the principal con ces-
sions made to the Beers:
Fifteen million dollars to be given
for rsimburslng the Beers for war
losses and enabling them to resume
their normal avocations in addition,
loans to be made for two years with
out interest.
No special tax to be imposed on
landed property to defray the wars
cost.
Military rule to cease "at the ear
Hest possible date" and representa-
tive institutions. leading up to self
government, to be introduced.
Possession of rifles to be allowed
to persons requiring them for their
protection, on taking out license.
The Dutch language to be used in
the schools where the parents desire
it and to be allowed in the courts of
law.
Burghers of the Transvaal and the
Orange River Colony not to be prose-
cuted for their connection with the
war, provided they observed the laws
of war.
The death penalty not to be in
ficted on Cape rebels. They will be
disfranchised, or, if they held official
position under the British Govern
ment, will be punished for treason,
but not by death.
Boer prisoners now in exile to be
brought back.
The war lasted two years, seven
months and twenty days, having be-
gun October II, 1899. The cost to
the British included 2l,536 lives
lost, according to official reports up
to April l, l902-the latest official
figures. The wounded and prisoners
bring the total up to about 100000.
The estimated financial cost of the
war to Great Britain is 81 900, 000,-
900.

First Discovery of Gold.

After careful investigation it has been
determined that the date of the dScov
cry of gold in California was January
18th, 1913. About the same time there
was another important discovery, which
to thousands of people has been worth
more than all the gold, because it re-
stored them to health, and that is Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. This wonder
full medicine continues to cure stomach
and bowel complaints, the same today
as in the past, and although many med
icines have come and gone, the Bitters
still remain the peoples fayorite. To
those who suffer from dyspepsia, indl-
gestion, headache, heartburn, constipa-
ton or billiouSness, and have tried 9TH
er medicines without obtaining relief,
this remedy will prove blessing, be-
cause it will surely cure them. Try a
bottle and satisfy yourself.

Two new bridges across the Ohio
river are to be built at once in Wood
county, West Virginia. Oneis being
constructed for the Parkersburg, Ma
rietta and Inter. Urban Street Rail-
way at Williamstown, and the other
is to be built for the new Wabash
Trunk Line.
1t is said that the new link con-
Meeting the Western Maryland Rail-
road with the West Virginia Central
Railway may not be built, on account
of the enormous expense Of getting
line through the mountains. The syn
dictate owning the above lines will
wait and try to secure the Chesapeake
g. Ohio canal and utilize it for the
new road.

NJ. Evenberg, of Manila, said to be
worth several hundred thousand dol
lars, arrived at Parkersburg a few
days ago in search Of his wife, who he
says eloped from Manila with Henry
Busch, who was a soldier in the
Philippines. She is said to be young
and pretty. She asked for money and
ticket to take her to her old home
in Germany, and her husband
thought she was there till he learned
of the elopement. He and his son of
seven years followed the clippers to
Parkersburg and had them arrested.
Mr.. Evenburg paid their fines. An
agreement was reached with the wife
10 return to Manila with her husband
upon his paying her 500 month.
They left Monday night for Manila,
with the past forgotten and the pa
rents and child happy.

hopeless till he used Electric Bitters

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT delivered
an address at Arlington Cemetery last
Friday, decoration day, and his speech
was more like the harangue of shall
low demagogue than the utterance of
a statesman. In his excited attempt
to excuse the cruelties of American
soldiers in the Philippines he found
occasion to express bitterness toward
the South, for while he did not speak
of the South directly, it is plain
enough he referred to this section
when he spoke of lynchings. He
said.
1.-THE men who fail to condemn lynch
ing and yet clamor about what has been
done in the Philippines are indeed
guilty of neglecting the beam in their
own eye while haunting their brother
about the mote in his. "
THE rules of warfare which have
been promulgated by the War Depart
ment and accepted as basis Of conduct
by our troops in the field are the rules
laid down by Abraham Lincoln when
you, my hearers, were fighting for the
Union"
The President blindly fails to note
this difference: That while the Fill
pinos have been ruthlessly tortured
to make them give up the secrets of
warfare, the lynchings in this country
have been punishments for horrible
and unspeakable crimes against fair
womanhood by brutes in human form.
AS to the intimation that the
methods of warfare in the Philippines
are similar to the practices during the
civil war, this does not help matters
much. Few persons think the more
of Sherman for his cruel and ruthless
march to the sea, when his army was
a terror and bosom Of destruction to
men, women and children. And the
names of the generals who devastated
our fair Valley of Virginia and delb-
erately made it a barren waste, burn
ing and pillaging as they came and
went, will be remembered and execfa-
ted long after kindly time has healed
the scars and hidden the ruin that
was wrought.
Besides, decoration day is an i'll
advised time for the President or any
one else to make bitter speech.
