A SURPRISED PHYSICIAN.
A Dying Patient Receivers Through the
lnterposition of Humble German.
Chicago. Nov. l6.

Chicago, Nov. 10.
Some weeks ago DR.. C., a very
reputable and widely known physician
living on c. street, was called to at
tend very complicated case of Rheu-
matism. Upon arriving at the house
he found man about forty years of
age, lying in Frustrated and serious
condition, with his whole frame danger
ously affected with the painful dis
ease. He prescribed for the patient,
but the man continued to grow worse,
and on Sunday evening he was found to
be in very alarming condition. The
knees and elbows and larger joints
were greatly inhamed, and could not be
moved. 1t was only with extreme
difficulty that the patient could be
turned in bed, with the aid of three or
four persons. The weight of the
clothing was so painful that means had
to be adopted to keep it from the pa
TENTS body.
The doctor saw that his assistance
would be of no avail and left the house,
the members of the family following
him to the door, weeping. Almost i'm
mediately the grief stricken ones we're
addressed by humble German. He
had heard of the despair of the family
and now asked them to try his remedy,
and accordingly brought forth bottle
of st. Jacobs Oil. The poor wife APP
piled this remedy. The first applica-
ton eased the patient very much; after
a few hours they used it again, and,
wonder OF wonders, the pain vanished
entirely! Every subsequent applica-
tion improved the patient, and in two
days he was we'll and out. When the
doctor called few days after he was
indeed surprised.

Rural Carriers and Good Roads.

The reaction and Independence OF
various interests that are seemingly
Gissimilar is one of the interesting
things to watch.
For years the agitation for road i'm
provement has been going on. 1t got Its
first real push ahead from the associa-
tons of cyclists, who finding that the
country roads were so bad that it was
not possible for them to do any COM
Portable wheeling over them for long
stretches of the year. went to work to
build cycle side paths, and to campaign
for general road betterment. Next came
the automobile. 1t is working revolu-
tons in the highways where it is In
much vogue. But probably most pow
erful of all the modern influences in the
direction of road Improvement is the
rural mail service. Its effect can not be
fairly judged, for 1t has not been long
in operation. 1t may be inferred, how
ever, that the farmers Of any neighbor-
hood, after being served with the rural
mail service for time, will go to large
pains and some expense to retain 1t,
and when they are notified, as they
often are by the department, that they
must make passable roads or lose the
carrier service, there is likely to be
something doing in highway improve
ment.

WHY GOMEZ WAS PAID.
Statement of the War Department in
the Matter

Washington, June 17.-At the war
department q high official stated the
position of the department in the mat
ter of payment of money to Gen. Gomez
as follows:
"The conditions in Cuba two years
ago We're precarious. Not a Cuban
believed that the United States /ov-
ernment ever would withdraw frcsn
Cuba, and the half famished veterans
of the Cuban army We're in danger
GUS mood and clamoring for their pay.
General Gomez was the head and front
of their army. and had served the rev.
olutionary cause as its principal leadN'
without having received a cent of pay.
General Wood thought, and Secretary
Root thought afteryards, that General
Gomez was entitled to consideration !.
to home which was supplied him and
in which he entertained his comrades.
and to an income, which last might be
set down as small offset to the mon
ey Que Gomez from the Cuban repub-
lie.
Tat the Cubans themselves regarded
the matter in the same light was
shown by the passage by the Cuban
acts, bill providing a liberal pension
for General Gomez. is believed but
for this assumption of the costs of
Gomez living expenses, the conditions
in Cuba must have parallel those 90
the Philippines and the United States
government, after fighting Spain to
secure freedom for the Cubans, might
have been obliged to turn on them the
force of her armies.
The necessity being present in Sec
retary Roots view, the only other prin-
cipal was the legality and propriety of
the ayments. He soon satisfied himself
that there was not the slightest doubt
on that score. The military governor
was obliged to assume the responsible
ity for his disbursements and to exer-
else his discretion. General Brooke did
this and after him General Wood, and
Secretary Root now fully approves of
everything they did, including the pay
ments to Gomez
It is pointed out at the war depart
ment as a curious fact that congress
formation that Gomez had been re-
ceiving those payments for no less than
two years past. The war department
that far back submitted to congress
the full statement Of all expenses in
Cuba and included in the list was
acknowledgements of the payments to
General Gomez.
