Raced For Life With

George Schaub, well known German citizen of New Lebanon, Ohio, is d constant reader of the Dayton Volkszeitung. He knows that this paper aims to advertise only the best in its columns, and when he saw Chamberlain's Pain Balm advertised therein for lame back, he did not hesitate in buying d bottle of it for his wife, who for eight weeks had suffered with the most terrible pains in her back and could get no relief. He says: After using the Pain Balm for a few days my wife said to me, l feel as though born anew, and before using the entire contents of the bottle the unbearable pains had entirely van ished and she could again take up her household duties.

He says that mining is looking up in that vicinity, and that his company has the shaft down 120 feet and that hoist has been erected and a 20-horse power engine put up on the works.
 Clifton Era: A contract has been let on the Summit group near Met calf, for driving an S0-foot tunnel in on the ledge. The contract price for the work is $2.50 per foot, which is certainly cheap mining. Sum- init mines have produced some very high grade ore, averaging about 40 per cent at the smelters, and now that the work is to be resumed it is likely that other shipments will soon follow

.cHLEY,s LETTER TO GRAHAM.

The publication Of the letter Of Ad-
miral schley to George Edward era
ham relative 70 the book, entitled.
"Schley and Santiago" which the latter
is now offering 70 the public, may turn
out to be unfortunate for the Admiral.
II is the understanding that the Presi-
dent has undertaken to review the find
ing of the court Of inquiry in the
Schley case. and anything said by the
Admiral bearing on the case. calculated
TO irritate him. viii likely have a ten
dency to influence him against inter-
fering with the finding Of the court.
OF course Admiral Schley had no
idea that the Graham letter would lie
published He looked upon it as a
purely personal one, and doubtless he
vas astounded when he discovered that
Mr.. Graham's publishers were using 1t
to advertise the latter's book
In that letter he tells Mr.. Graham
to bring out strongly in his book that
Admiral Sampson was at Sibony when
the naval battle at Santiago began. He
calls Mr.. Graham's attention to the
fact that O'Shaugnessy Of Chicago GER
titles that Admiral Sampson was at
that place
The reason that this letter may prove
troublesome to Admiral SchIey is that
it was written after the Secretary CT
the Navy had given orders that naval
officers should not discuss the Ssnnp-
son-Sehley controversy. The claim that
the letter was a private one and was
hardly be accepted as an excuse for
writing it. if the Secretary of the Navy
should decide to take notice of it.
The Importance of the letter is seen
when it, IS understood that the
official records do not show
that Admiral Sampson was at
sibony. They show that he was
only about six or seven miles from the
fleet when the Spanish ships came out
of the harbor of Santiago. Admiral
Schley takes issue with the official re-
port and what he says has tendency
to reopen the Sampson Schley contro-
versy. An effort was made at the court
Of inquiry to prove that Admiral Samp-
son was at Sibony when the battle be-
gan, but the court wouldn't permit that
question to be brought forward. con-
tending that it had nothing to do with
the matter in hand.
Neither the Secretary nor the Presi-
dent may take notice of the Graham
letter If either should. however, it
would mean probably a reprimand for
Admiral Schley or the Endorsement by
the President of the Secretary of the
Navy's approval Of the finding of the
court of inquiry. If anything against
Admiral Schley's interests can be made
out of the letter it is certain that his
enemies will use it for all it is worth.
