WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY "a, 100:
WHY RUSSIA LOST FRIENDS.

Nearly every day the question is
asked, why have the people Of Amer
lea had a change of heart during the
past dozen years in relation to the
Russian empire?"
During the war of the revolution
Russia was neutral, lending neither aid
o sympathy to our enemies, and dur
ing the wars of 1872 and and 1S4S it
occupied a like position. In the rebel
lion it went farther and SEM friendly
fleets to our shores. 1t virtually said to
England, You must keep your hands
off" n England did. OF course many
believed Russia more than got her pay
out of the Alaskan sale. At the time
Secretary Seward paid 81, 200. 900 for
that peninsula the nations of the earth
were of the opinion that Uncle Sam
was buncoed, unless there was a secret
understanding that the money was in
consideration Of friendship and that
Alaska was thrown in merely as a
blind.
Several things AVE occurred in the
past few years to turn the tide of sen
timent against the absolute monarchy
Of the Czar In the first place, George
kenan's articles in relation to the ter
rible outrages committed in Siberia
were spread broadcast owe the Unit
ed States. The American mind is easily
tnf,amed against a nation that will
condemn men and women to a life of
torture for political reasons and with.
out trial-simply by the ukase of the
2
Americans have been greatly
wrought up by the massacre of the
Jews and he destruction of their prop
erty. While fully realizing that a gov
eminent cannot v anime and
murder at all times the liberty.loying
peop,e on this continent believe Russia
really winked at the slaughter of the
innocents Certain II Ia that the trial
of tho Offenders was nothing more nor
less than a farce. This incident did
NOT make friends for Russia.

SHAW PLEADS FOR THE BOY.

Secretary of the Treasury Shaw, in
a recent address, declared that Amer
can parents are not doing enough for
their boys-that the boy sees too much
of his mothers and too little of his
fathers influence. His remarks Gre
ated much discussion and considerable
criticism, so he has written a supple
mentary statement, in which he says:
There is no being in the world sc
much neglected as the boy. There is
no place, scant room for him. He is
welcome in the home as a baby and
he is welcome as a man, but there is
scant welcome for him as a boy. We
chaperone our girls, and not too care
fully; but We leave the boy to choose
his associations and environments with
much advice and little guidance. Girls
are naturally winsome, gentle, com
~panionable, and they win their way tc
and are welcome in all homes, but | dc
not know of many homes where boys
are invited. About the only door that
swings with sure welcome to the boy
about the only chair that is showed
near the fire especially for the boy
about the only place where he is sure
of a cordial greeting, is the one where
you do not wish him to co.
Secretary Shaw has stated his case
broadly and without mincing of words
There is no doubt that many Ameri'
can parents have laid themselves open
to. the reproach contained in Mr.
Shaw's words. The mother who
breathes a sigh of relief when her
noisy boy is out of her house is prob
ably not aware that she Is throwing
him upon outside associations which
may warp, il rot ruin, his I The
woman who complains because her
family of boys disarrange her tidy
rooms, and thus drives the lads to
the companionship Of strangers, has
made a mistake, the gravity OF which
sometimes comes home to her with
crushing effect.

enters the house, insists on the re-
preston OF all the natural activities

RHEUMATISM
AN INDESCRIBABLE TORTURE

Because Rheumatism sometimes comes on suddenly it doesn't
prove that it is a chance disease or one due to accidental causes. 1t
takes time for it to develop, and is at work in the system long before
any symptoms are felt. The blood is the first point of attack, and
the poisonous acids that cause the aches and pains are then distrib-
uted through the circulation to different parts of the system, and
settle in joints, muscles and nerves; and when the system s. in this
condition it needs only some exciting cause like exposure to night air,
damp, chilly weather, or the cold, bleak winds of winter, to arouse
the slumbering posons and bring on Rheumatism. The severity
of the attack depends upon the amount of acid in the blood and the

RHEUMATISM IN ELBOWS, WRISTS
AND KNEES.
Urbana, Ohio, Aug. 80, 1908.
Last winter I had a severe attack of
rheumatism. It started in the right
elbow, and from there to my wrists; the
right wrist was the worse. It became
swollen and extremely painful. My left
knee joint was the next place to be at
tackled. It became swollen and Of course
painful. Tho next point to be affected
was the hip and ankle, which gave me
much trouble. I was barely able to get
about for some time. I was under treat
mont of a physician for awhile, but get
ting no better I began 8. s. s., and after
taking it for some time I was entirely
relieved of the Rheumatism. All swelling
and soreness disappeared. I consider
8. s. g. an excellent remedy for Rheuma-
tism and all troubles having their origin
in the blood.

Howell was last seen on Monday
afternoon about 1890 or l o'clock
by a relative who recognized him and
ssluted him. This was on the Gar
ner's Ferry road near the Hardin
street crossing. Howell was going
out of town in a wagon with a negro,
whose name nobody seems to know
and whose identity seems to be as
great mystery as the disappearance
of the boy.
The team was the property OF
Phillip Epstin. of 1909 Gervals
street. who started the boy and the
negro out into the country about
noon Monday. Mrs. Epstin says
that the negro returned with the wa.
eon at about $3.50 and came back
about 6 o'clock to collect for his
services. When she asked after
Howell the negro told her that the
white boy had jumped eff at Assem-
bly, street, saying be was going home
and asking him (the negro to drive
the team to Mr.. Epstin's. No fur
ther trace can be found of the ne
gro, who seems to be q stranger in
Columbia. He was picked up Mon
day morning loafng about the
Southern's freight station by Mr..
Epstin, who employed him to assist
in hauling some whiskey to the dis
pensary for the constables.
The negro did not return the axe
with the wagon and no load was
brought back from the country. He
had no reason to think tht,t Howell
had any money or other valuables
about his person, and so far as is
known the two had never exchanged
a pass word.
The negro is described as being
about five feet 6 inches tall, weighs
about $50 pounds, thin moustache,
teeth set somewhat apart wore q
brown overcoat and felt hat.
Howell is rather spare built, has
fair complexion and blue eyes. He
was bright, intelligent, healthful-
looking boy of good habits.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an infsmed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets infamed you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and un-
less the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's nor
NAL condition, hearing will be de-
stoyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrb, which is moth
ing but an ipfamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
