He knows that this paper aims to adver- tise only the best in it's columns, and when he saw Chamberlain's Pain Balm advertised therein for lame back. he did not hesitate in buying a bottle of 1t for his wife. who for eight weeks had suf- fered with the most terrible pains in her back and could get no relief. He says: After using Pain Balm for a few days my wife said to me, I feel as though born anew and before using the entire con- tents of the bottle the unbearable pains had entirely vanished and she could again take up her household duties" He is very thankful and hoIes that all suffering likewise will hear of her wonderful re- covery.

CITY BONDS
 ATLAST SOLD New York Firm Secures
 the Issue. CAUSED MUCH TROUBLE Spitzer & Co. Pay $75,45O
 for the Bonds. Negotiations, Which Occupied Sew eral Months, Finally Result in Disposal of Bonds at the
 Par Value.

Mayor E. B. Joseph of Montgomery an- nounced yesterday that after several months of negotiation the municipal gov ernment has finally disposed of the issue of s75.oo0 in 1-s per cent Montgomery city bonds, authorized by the last ses- sion of the Alabama Legislature TOT general municipal purposes.
 The sale of these bonds. it will be re- membered, gave the members of the City Council much annoyance. Advertise ments were four times inserted In the newspapers for bids and each time the bids were rejected owing to technicalities. Each time there was objection made to the terms offered and more than one alderman objected to issuing the bonds altogether.
 The bond issue was the occasion Of numerous special meetings of the City Council and gave aldermen opportunities to make many speeches in the Council Chamber.
 Some time ago the Council authorized Mayor Joseph and the finance committed of the Council to sell the bonds at the best terms that could be made.
 The offer of Spitzcr & Co.,, was regarded as the best that could be secured and after it was decided to accept the offer much correspondence ensued between the legal representatives of Spltzer & Co. and the finance committee as to the validity of the bonds. The lawyers were sent records and other papera which they desired to sec. Finally, upon appli- cation of Spitzer X Co. the bonds were shipped to the American Exchange Ma tional Bank for examination by Spitzer & Co.
 The investigation of the bonds was satisfactory and the firm paid over to the city s75,45o. giving credit for accrued interest from January l, the date of the bonds.
 The money derived from the sale of the bonds is to be used to meet the running expenses of the city government On July 1, $3O.0OO of this money will be paid for interest on bonds already issued.

First Cherokee Hymn.

c B. in Cherokee G. ID Advocate
 send you snort piece which ask you to publish for the Cherokees. Per haps some of them would like to know how the first Cherokee hymn originat ted. More than sixty years ago. Missionary Chamberlain translated the following passage for his little Cherokee pupil,
 The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters"
 These were the first words that really attracted toward God, the thoughts of that nature-loving Cherokee girl, who at the time was numbered among the very brightest of the then uncivilized tribe. Up to that time there had been no na- tive hymns, and the songs she sapg were English hymns, or rather the ruder mur- murs that nature taught here when the lessons of the Sabbath morning were over. The Cherokee maiden bounded away over the cleared lot and threw her. self beside the brook which made it's way through the forest. He leadeth me beside the still waters" She involuntari- ly repeated to herself> and as she sat be- side the brook. she fell to wondering about the great spirit of the pale face. In solitude and thought she fell asleep, and as she slept she dreamed of a grove of wonderful beauty. in which was gath cred vast concourse of Cherokee peo- pie; they were @itting In a semi-circie, and in their midst stood wonderful be- Ing, glNlnR praise lO tne great sDlh, the whole congregation repeating OCT and OCT the words after him in joyful Cher okee song. When the Cherokee girl awoke she looked about her in surprise, for she saw then no congregation. and heard no music, save the brooks mur- mur and the song words of the singing birds. But the song of her dream still fin her mind she went and told Mission ary Chamberlain her dream, who asked her to tell him the exact words which the congregation of her dream had chanted. The following is true translation or the words she repeated in Cherokee
 God and I are friends,
 will not be afraid of him;
 Though. all the word be against me,
 I will still be confident.
 This was the first Cherokee hymn. ana it was the result of Lydia Lowrey dream. This stanza followed by others, was a popular hymn in all the early re- ligious meetings held among the Chero- kee people. It acted like a key to un- lock the language. There Is quite col lection of hymns for church music, and among those who sing them today, there are children of this Indian dreamer, and a grandson of hers is said to be pre- siding elder in the Cherokee Nation; but she who dreamed has long since passed beyond the green pastures of earth, over Nre still waters of the creek, through the deep forest, and perhaps Is now one of that mysterious band that she saw in her vision, more than three score years ago. Who can tell.

San Francisco, Jan. "A collision al
sea early Thursday morning between
the steamship Walla Walla and an
unknown sailing vessel resulted in the
sinking of the steamship and the prob
able loss of Al lives. When off Cape
Mendocino, on the California coast, at
4:1O Thursday morning an iron bark,
believed to be French, doomed up in the
haze and crashed into the ships bow.
Then the sailing vessel slid off into
the darkness and was seen no more.
OF the 142 passengers and crew 100
are accounted for as follows: Eighty
four survivors are at Eureka, II at Big
Lagoon, near Trinidad; seven were
drowned before reaching land, and one
unknown woman died from the shock
and exposure before reaching shore.
This leaves 33 unaccounted for.
All the passengers and crew of the
Walla Walla except the few on watch
were asleep, but were aroused by the
crash. The steerage quarters were in
the bow, and it is believed that some
of the steerage passengers and crew
were crushed to death. A big hole
was made in the steamers bow and she
sank in 35 minutes. The officers and
crew maintained strict discipline and
boats and life RATS were lowered.
All who were not killed in the col
lision got off except Capt. Hall, who
went down with his ship. He was
picked UP later by one of the boats, I'M
injured, with the exception of few
bruises.
There was choppy sea running and
the small boats could not make land
ing on the shore, few miles distant.
They drifted about all day, and finally
65 people were picked up by the
steamer Dispatch, which took them to
Eureka. Another boat under COM
mand of Engineer Brown and contain
ing 10 persons attempted to land at
Trinidad and was swamped. John
Wilkinson, quartermaster; William
Martel, fireman.; L. Drube, passenger,
and three unknown men were drowned.
When the Dispatch reached Eureka
Friday morning with the survivors
tugs were Immediately sent out for
missing boats. The tug Ranger picked
up one containing II passengers and
three of the crew.
The Walla Walla, owned by the Pa
cific Coast Steamship company, sailed
from San Francisco January 1 for
