Marvellous Escape from
Death !
PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
Does a Wondrous Work for a. Lady
Who Was Almost Crazed with
=: Pain and Suffering.

1t is we'll known that terrible rheumatism,
sciatica, and neuralgia cause more helpless
ness, acute suffering, and agony, than any Of
the other diseases that affiict humanity. The
great medicinal virtues of Paine's Celery Com
pound make it the only trustworthy specific
for the cure of all forms of rheumatism and
neuralgia. Thousands of strong testimonial
letters from the most prominent people of the
land, prove that Paine's Celery Compound
has banished these terribly fatal troubles when
all other treatment has failed. Mrs. Mar
garet Bethel, of Brainerd, Mimi, after thirty
years of agonizing tortures mad desire to end
her life, if it was the will of Heaven; she al
most prayed for the time to lay it down.
Heaven directed, she made use of Paine's
Celery Compound, and is enjoying true life
once more. She says
For thirty years have been great suf-
ferer from neuralgia in the head, and also
with rheumatism in the whole body. began
taking Paine's Celery Compound and soon
found was much better. Before taking the
Compound, my life was such burden that
almost prayed to lay it down. was bedfast
every two weeks with horrible pain in the
head, back, and neck, until I was almost
crazed. am able TO do harder work and
more of it today than for twenty-five years. I
am really enjoying life again, thanks to
Paine's Celery Compound l am satisfied
that my life has been prolonged many years
BY its use.''

st. Louis Globe Democrat: Presi-
dent Roosevelt still finds a boyish
delight in riding on the engine.
Such nature as his is not content
with the plush luxury of the
voluptuary. His resentment Of ease
would make him fee from the Pull
man to the smoking car, thence to
the engine cab, and, it the sought
for seuse of comfort is not found
there he would take to the COW
catcher. When President Roosevelt
is most comfortable he is most un-
comfortable, and sometimes, we are
almost convinced that he thinks that
we, the people are of the same
material that he is, and that Of
feminacy and degeneraoy will seize
US for their own if he does not stir
US up now now and then. Rest, in
the sense Of period of inactiop and
meditation is not the presidents
kind OF rest. Violent physical
activity is his avenue of escape from
care. The cowhidings of the
fagellants, we fancy, would lift his
soul above the nagging solicitudes
Of life and bury ttem in forgetful-
ness; and so they would those of
many other who might profit as that
neurasthenic did who was blown up
in an explosion and rose from his
long bed of pain cured forever Of
worrying over his health. Exertion
of the body to the poi Mt of actual
suffering may be relief to an over
burdened mind. For the time be
ing, treaties. legislative friction,
quarre.s, adverse public
sentiment are shut behind doors.
They can't be thought of, at least
while ore is fencing, boxing, or rid
ing an engines. In an extreme case
one might try few score miles on
the trucks. That would be distinct
and exciting novelty, and many Of
his humble fellow citizens have
ridden there.

NEW LAND.LAW BILL.
A Measure for the BENEFIT OF Veterans.

Representative Hamilton has introduced
a bill which provides for the payment Of
the value of public lands to persons en-
titled to make entry upon such lands in
certain cases. The bill provides that 'any
person who may be entitled, under sections
1904. 1905 and 23O6, Revised Statutes Of
the United States, to make entry upon
public lands of the United States, shall.
upon proof satisfactory to the Secretary
of the Interior that he is unable by rea-
son of age or other disability to avail him
self of his right of entry, be entitled, upon
the certification of the Secretary of the
Interior to the Secretary of the Treasury,
to receive in lieu of such right of entry a
sum of money equal in amount to the
value of the LAND upon which he may be
entitled to make entry, such value to be
computed at the rate of SIPS an acre"
The statutes referred to are as follows:
"Sec. 1904. Every private soldier and
officer, who has served in the army of the
United States during the recent rebellion.
for 90 days, and who has remained loyal
to the Government, including the troops

States by virtue of the third section of an
act approved, Feb. ID. 1862, and every
seaman, marine and officer who has served
in the Navy of the United States, or in
the Marine Corps during the rebellion, for
30 days, and who was honorably dis
charged. and has remained loyal to the
Government, shall, on compliance with the
provisions of this chapter, as hereinafter
modified. be entitled to enter upon and re-
ceive patents for quantity of public land
not exceeding 1G0 acres, or one quarter sec
ton, to be taken in compact form, accord
ing to legal subdivisions, including the
alternate reserved section of public land
along the line of any railroad or other pub
lie work, not otherwise reserved or APP
propriated, and other lands subject to en-
try under the homestead laws of the
United States; but such homestead settler
shall be allowed six months after locat-
ing his homestead and filing his declara-
tory statement, within which to make his
entry and commence his settlement and i'm
provement.
"Sec. 1905. The time which the home
stead settler has served in the Army, Navy
or Marine Corps shall be deducted from
the time heretofore required to perfect
title. or if discharged on account of wounds
received or disability incurred in the line

be deducted from the time heretofore re-
quired to perfect title, without reference to
the length of time he may have served. But
no patent shall issue to any homestead set
tier who has not resided upon, improved
and cultivated his homestead for period
Of at least one year after he shall have
commenced his improvements.
"Sec. 2306. Every person entitled under
the provisions of section 1904 to enter q
homestead who may have heretofore en-
tered. under the homestead laws, n quaint.
ty of land less than 100 acres, shall be per.

The National tribune., 1903-02-19
Great Britain SnubSed.

Representative Jones, of Washington,
expresses himself on the boundary line
disputes. in the shape of a bill in Congress.
He says:
Whereas, it is reported that treaty
has been signed by the United States and
Great Britain providing for a commission
to interpret the treaty of 1925 between
Russia and Great Britain fixing the boun-
diaries of Alaska; and
whereas, there was no uncertainty as
to the meaning of the said treaty when
it was executed; and
Whereas, the Interpretation given to it
at the time of it's execution was accepted
and acknowledged by Great Britain for
more than 80 years, and no question was
made concerning it until after the discov-
cry of gold in the Klondike; Now, there
fore, be it
Resolved. That it is the sense of the
House of Representatives that there is no
occasion for further Interpretation of
said treaty; that its terms and provisions
are clear and plain; that the United States
should entertain no proposition looking to
new Interpretation, and that the officials
of this Government should notify Great
Britain that it will absolutely refuse to
entertain or consider any other interpreta-
ton of said treaty than that accepted by
all parties for more than 80 years after
its execution, and that the United States
proposes and is prepared to maintain its
rights under the Interpretation of said
treaty accepted by all parties until after
the discovery of gold in the Klondike."

A GREATER CAPITOL.
Old Plans to Be Carried, 6ut-Historic Lines
Not Destroyed.

The Capitol ExteHsiap' bill has passed Use
the House. An appropriation of $1,000
900 for the purpose has rheen authorized by
a vote of the House ip4d it is altogether
probable that the Sengta. will pass the bill
with very little adverse discussion;
The addition whicbiisq TO be made to the
Capitol will mot ehaRge its his historic out,

ing govt out the East centsH5f the a great eat White
building, so as to make it conform in style
with the West front Mr.. Woods, the
present architect, in speaking Of the plans
of Mr.. Walter, has the following to say:
The old building, fostered by Washing
ton and designed by Thornton, was cOnsid-
cred to afford, when completed in 1880,
ample accommodations for then existing
and probable future needs of the country;
but the tremendous progress of the Nation,
the increase of population, and consequent
legislative representation soon proved the
old Capitol was too small TO properly ac-
commodate the Legislative Department of
the Government.
'SThen came the first extension, begun in
1851 and completed in 1859. Congress au-
thorized and Walter carried ont the con-
struction OF the marble additions Mt the
North and South. Walter adhered faith
fully to the spirit Of the original, and, real
