AGAINST A HOT STOVE

A child of Mrs. Geo. T. Benson, when getting his usual Saturday night bath, stepped back against a hot stove which burned him severely. The child was in great agony and his mother could do nothing to pacify him. Re membering that she had a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm in the house, she thought she would try it. In less than half an hour after applying it the child was quiet and asleep, and in less than two weeks was well. Mrs. Ben son is well known resident of Kellar, Va. Pain Balm is an antiseptic lini- ment and especially valuable for burns, cuts, bruises and sprains. For sale by Elvey & Hulett, druggists.

CATARRH CANNOT BE CURED

Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure is not q quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of the best physicians in this country for years. and is q regular pre- scription.

Now. Methuselah, during the later years of his long life suffered griav- ously from rheumatism, but, with the obstinacy that was a part of his na- tnre, refused to do anything for it. He said he could stand it as long as the rheumatism could.
 One of his neighbors came in one day with a new patent medicine.
 "Grandad," he said, "here is some thing that will relieve you. I've seen string of testimonials a yard long from persons it has cured.''

THE BEST REMEDY FOR GROUP.

(From the Atchison, Kan. Daily Globe)
 This is the season when the woman who knows the best remedies for croup is in demand in every neighborhood. One of the most terrible things in the world is to be awakened in the middle of the night by a whoop from one of the children. The croup remedies are almost as sure to be lost, in case of crOup, as revolver is to be lost in case of burglars. There used to be an old fashioned remedy for croup. known as hive syrup and tolu, but some modern mothers say that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is better, and does not cost so much. It causes the patient to throw up the phlegm" quicker, and gives re- lief in shorter time. Give this rem edy as soon as the croupy cough ap- pears and it will prevent the attack. It never fails and is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by Elvey & Hulett, druggists.
 Chicago's people are superstitious by large majority. According to the Tribune of that city. a thirty-foot lad der was standing against a building on busy street and extended over three fourths of the sidewalk. A reporter kept tab" on 800 persons who passed. and 366 of them went out of their way to go around instead of under the lad der.
 Chicago humanity is probably of av- craze quality. Are we then to con- clude that over one-half of the Ameri- can people In the morning of the twen- tieth century still attach some value to the fanciful and grotesque signs and warnings" of the centuries when 'the black art" was believed in and witches were hanged for practicing it? We think not. The ladder myth, for example is probably kept alive more in jest than earnest; and the same is no doubt true of the new-moon, the salt spilling, and other fables.
 Possibly if the origin of these silly things were better known they would not survive so long. The bad luck of going under ladder, we may note dates from the time when English criminals were hanged on public com mons by hauling them in a cart under moose dangling from the arm of tail wooden pole. The sheriff used a ladder in fitting the rope to the victim, who necessarily went under the ladder" for that purpose. Hence the saying that 1t was unlucky to pass under ladder-which it certainly was under such circumstances.-New York World

DER MYSTERY-GOSSIP OF
CALIFORNIA

San Francisco. Feb. 1.-THE chief occurrence
OF the week which has moved people more
deeply than they have been stirred for years,
was the discovery in a vacant house OF the body
OF sixteen-year-o Nora Fuller, who was mur
dered by a man who went under the names Of
Bennett and Hawkins, but whose real name and
present whereabouts are still a mystery after
nearly whole week Of detective work The
medical study of the case shows that the fugi-
tive murderer the same kind Of abnormal
pervert as Durant, who seven years ago killed
two girls in church. and hid the body of one of
his victims in the belfry for two weeks. Nora
Fuller was lured to the house by advertise
ment and the police theory is that she was
killed during the first night she entered the
place, though it was nearly month before her
body was discovered. Dry cold weather lad
preserved the corpse and this with the cloth
ing found beside the body, made identification
easy. The extra aordinary features Of the case
are the inability of the police get any clew to
the real name. occupation dwelling place in
this city of the murderer although he had been
here at intervals for fifteen years. and had
taken his meals one of the largest of the
cheap restaurants. a minute description of him
mas been furnished by the restaurant keeper
and others who knew him by sight. but this has
served no purpose in the search for him. He
was a man Of some education and refinement.
and was always carefully dressed: but aside
from the fact that he once dropped a remark
that he was a printer the police have no in
formation about him, nor have they found a
single person who knew him we'll His young
victim was poor, and hoped to get a place to
care for child. When she suddenly dropped
out of life diligent search was made. but this
resulted in nothing. Only at the expiration of a
months rent of the house, which the murderer
had hired in advance, her tragic fate re-
vealed.
Heavy rains this week in all parts of the State
except the extreme South have done great good

sures miners enough water until well into the

three inches, and this has been sufficient in the
Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys to save
