Triumphs of Modern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the human body by surgery. Organs are taken out and scraped and polished and put back, or they may be removed entirely; bones are spliced; pipes take the place of diseased sections of veins; antiseptic dressings are applied to wounds, bruises, burns and like in- juries before inflammation sets in, which causes them to. heal without maturation and in one-third of the time required by the old treatment. Chamberlain's Pain Balm acts on this same principle. It is an antiseptic and when applied to such injuries, causes them to heal very quickly. It also allays the pain aud soreness. Keep bottle of Pain Balm in your house and it will save you time and money, not to mention the inconven- fence and suffering which such injuries entail. For sale by all druggists.

Tablets Better Than Doctors Prescription.

Mir. J. w. Turner, of Truhart, Va, says that Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets have done him more good than anything he could get from the doctor. If any physician in this country was able to compound med icine that would produce such gratify- ing results in cases of stomach troub- les, biliousness, or constipation, his whole time would be used in prepar- ing this one medicine.

FIRE DISCOVERED
 IN RECEIVING SHIP
FIREMEN HAVE MUCH DlFFlCOL- TY IN CONTROLLING sMouL- DERINo FIRE ON HANCOCK AT THE NAVY YARD.

New York, October r.-Fire was de- tected early today on the United States receiving ship Hancock at the New fork ravy yards It is not known how long the fire had been burning when discovered, but judging by the progress it had made it must have been several hours. A fire man had occasion to open a watertight compartment leading to coal bunker, when he found that the place was filled with smoke In spite of the utmost exer- tions it was several hours before the seat of the flames could be reached.
 Meantime the smoke invaded every part of the ship and at one time it was almost overpowering in the officers dining room. By shifting large quantities of coal from the bunkers the fremen got to the seat of the trouble. but it was not until after noon that the fire was completely put out. The Hancock Is the most important re- ceivine ship in the navy, usually having a thousand sailors and newly enlisted men aboard waiting assignments. The cause of the fire is shrouded in mystery.

ITALY PREPARING
 FOR THE ELECTION
DIFFERENT ELEMENTS URGED TO RALLY IN DEFENSE OF ORDER AND LIBERTY WITHIN THE STATE.

Rome. October 17.-All political parties of this kingdom are now engaged in preparing for the general election. Thus far perfect tranquility has been main- tained. The cabinet in deciding upon the dissolution of the chamber of deputies at this time is represented to be working upon the broad plan of calling upon all the constitutional elements in national politics, whether hitherto friendly or op- posed to the ministry. to rally In de- fense of order and liberty and to strengthen the authority and prestige of the state The time is considered to be opportune as the excess provoked the situation.
 The extremist party during the recent so-called general strike have produced a reaction against the tyranny of mob rule. The violence displayed recently is regarded as being the cause of the split in the extreme left. the radicals having separated from the socialists, the former being unwilling to be responsible In any degree for the excesses of the latter. The socialists however, are divided in- | to two fiercely antagonistc factions. | Premier Golletti, according to his adher- l ents, will not depart from the policy 1 that has been the aim of his entire pollt- l cal career, namely, complete hberty
 within the limits of the law.
 1 Since the strike ended the country has
 settled down to complete calm. The call l ing out of the reserves, 1t is explained,
 merely indicates that the government l wishes to have sufficient force at hand | to preserve public order.
