Chicago, Nov. Is.
Some weeks ago DR.. G., very
reputable and widely-known physi-
clan, living on c. Street, was call
ed to attend a very complicated case
of Rheumatism. Upon arriving at the
house he found a man about forty
years Of age, lying in a Frustrated
and serious condition, with his whole
frame dangerously affected with .ae
painful disease. He prescribed for
the patient, but the man continued to
grow worse, and on Sunday evening
he vas found to be in a very alarm
ing condition. The knees and elbows
and larger joints were greatly infam-
ed, 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 patients 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 Immediately the grief stricken
ones were addressed by an humble
German He had heard of the despair
OF the family, and now asked them to
try his remedy, and accordingly
brought forth a bottle of st. Jacobs
Oil. The poor wife applied this rem
edy. Tho first application eased the
patient very much: after few hours
they used it agaiu, and, wonder Of
wonders. the pain vanished entirelyi
Every subsequent application improv-
ed the patient, and in two days he
was well and out. When the doctor
called few days after, he was in
deed surprised.

 It was this company, and Senator Jones' then alleged connection with it that were so frequently mentioned in the Arkansas senatorial primary elec- tion of this year. The amendment was received here by mail from New York. The accompanying explana- tory letter was written on the letter head of the American Cotton Com pany, which is the owner and lessor of the round-lap bale press. These presses are never sold, but rented, which has given rise to the term "trust" ill connection with the com pany.

GOLD IN CARROLL COUNTY.

Harrison-Reports of new gold dis coveries continue to come in from Carroll county, and the indications are favorable for a rich strike over there yet. In digging a we'll near Braswell switch last week the work men found ore which they have had assayed, and the assay showed it to be very rich in gold. About tea spoonful of the drillings was treated by the jeweler at Berryville with bloWpipe and such other instruments as he had in his shop, and he has nice little piece of gold as a result, which he IS showing to his friends. The extent of the deposit is now the only question to be settled in regard to the matter, and it is very probable that development will begin at once. Republican.

PLURALITY FIVE HUNDRED.

Unofficial returns from thirteen out of total of eighteen precincts in Jackson county give Davis 731, Myers 277 and Greaves 21. The remaining townships to hear from are Rich woods, Grubbs, Upper Cache and Barren and as the ballot boxes of these precincts have been deposited with the county clerk and no slip of the vote retained, the complete and official vote will not be known until ii is canvassed and certified by the election commissioners.
 With the vote of these townships, it is probable that Davis' plurality over Myers will exceed 500 as the figure is now 454. The unofficial re- turns upon the license question and road are too incomplete to furnish grounds for the estimate of the ma jorities by which they have carried. They have been decisive victories however for the advocates of licensed saloons and the retention of the three mill road tax.
 Since Tuesday, unofficial returns have been received from the follow ing precincts.

RAILROAD BUILDING.

During the time covered by this re- port encouraging progress has been made in the construction and exten- sion of railroads running into prac- tically new and undeveloped sections of the State. The White River rail- road, a branch of the Missouri Pacific system, is being built from a point north of Batesville up White river in the direction of the zinc fields of Northwest Arkansas.
 The St. Louis & North Arkansas railroad has been extended from Eu- reka Springs to Harrison, a distance of some forty five miles, and the con- struction is being pushed, with Marsh all as the present objective point.
 The Ozark & Cherokee Central rail- way, the Fort Smith Western railroad the Arkansas & Choctaw and the South Missouri and Arkansas have also made considerable progress ir construction.
 Upon the whole, the conditions seem to have been reasonably favor. able to railroad building, and grea and costly improvements are con. stantly being made in the tracks ant equipments of the long lines.
