Triumohs 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 the time
required by the old treatment. Cham
berlain's Pain Balm acts on this same
principle. 1t is an antiseptic and when
applied to such injuries, causes them
to heal very quickly. 1t also allays the
pain and soreness. Keep a bottle Of
Pain Balm in your home and it will
save you time and money, not to men,
ton the inconvenience and suffering
| which such injuries entail. For sale by
John Coughlin, Augusta. and c. II.

Thousands of people are shouting for Hearst now that two weeks ago were denouncing him with all the en- ergy they possessed. They think he is a winner and so want to be on the winning side. These shouters and howlers better wait up bit Let the courts settle the affair, if it is neces- sary to go to court. Remember that Hearst has smart and hustling set of men in his employ, and they are doing everything possible under the sun to make people think that a great fraud has been committed. Perhaps so but let us wait and see People talked about Hearst's yellow journals a. few weeks ago. Perhaps they are yellower than ever in this cry of fraud, which has been taken up by the press of the country generally. Already a number of the sensational stories about missing ballot boxes have been officially denied. It is to Hearst's h. terest and advantage to get the people talking fraud and intimidation and that is just what his packers and ad- visers are diligently working for. The Hearst idea of fraud has reached newspapers that were supposed to be pretty sane on public questions geuer- ally, but they have gone into the air and are just as '''ratty'' as the rabid sheets. Some of them are even con demning Mcclellan for retaining law yers to see that he is not counted out. Mcclellan would be great goose in- deed to sit idly by and let the other fellows do the counting A square deal is all he wants and that he should and probably will receive.

Representative Curtis of Kansas has contributed his mite to the war against whiskey masquerading as a medicine. MT Curtis is the rank ranking le member of the house committee on Indian affairs, to the chairmanship or which he will succeed when Repre- sentative Sherman of New York re- tires. He also has Indian blood in his veins, of which he is not at all asham- ed. MT Curtis believes the greatest curse to the Indians is whiskey and does not see why the sale of whiskey as such should be prohibited in the In dian Territory, while whiskey With a little doctoring is sold asa medicine He also seriously considers the adyis- ability of canteen service for Indian Territory, on the order of the old army canteen, where beer and light wines can be sold, but no whiskey. believing in this manner the taste for strong drink, which is such a marked characteristic of the Indian, can be controlled.

 Panama Country Said to Be Particu- larIy Suited For Agricultural Pur- poses - Suggestion That Part of 1t Be Reserved For Experimental sta- tion - Thriving Market Gardeners at Fairbanks.
 In an interview with Professor 0. O Georgeson he kindly gave us the fol- lowing facts about Alaska, says the Sitka Alaskan:
 Pursuant to instructions from the de- pertinent of agriculture, took steam CT to the Panama, stopping over at Fairbanks. 267 miles from the mouth. Thither traveied several days through m excellent country. Every feature was grand in the extreufe. Therefore decided to make reservation of a cer- tain tract, we'll suited for the purpose of agriculture, almost midway between Cinema and Fairbanks. A survey of over two Square miles developed e fine display of good, sound sowing land, and I recommend that this land be reserved and shall certainly suggest that such reservation be made by order of the president for an experimental station.
 The whole of the Panama country seems to be particularly suited for az rieultural purposes. From observations note that the Panama valley is warm er. and in fact carries higher tenn perature throughout the year than the Yukon or Copper river valleys. There re in reality no high mountains in tight of the Panama. with the exception lf those peaks. clad with the wtitest snow, pure satellites of the Alaska range. and these are visible only in the dearest known weather. The Tanana valley is densely timbered. the prevail. ing wood being spruce. as is the case elsewhere in Alaska. On the low, roll ing hills. considerable birch is In evi. dence mixed with poplar "a rare pro. duction of Alaska. and In the low ground have found alder and willow.
 As regards Fairbanks. I have to say that found it a thriving city. I esti- mate the population. roughly, at 3,00C people, and I would imagine that al least twice this number are scattered over the different creeks existing Ir and surrounding the vicinity of thii thriving and well to do city.

A writer speaking of the death of Midshipman Branch recently. asks: Had the dead man insulted Midship- man Meriwether. by rehecting on his honor or that of his family or friends or in any other way known to civil ized beings? No. While engaged in his official duties he found that Meri- wether was violating some of the reg ulations of the academy, and in duty bound as an officer reported him to his superiors. For this he was beaten to a pulp hy Meriwether in the pres ence of a gang of his fellow students. who doubtless applauded the punish ment administered to a cadet whose only olfense was that he did his duty ss an officer and met his death like man.
