About Rheumatism

There are few diseases that inflict
more torture than rheumatism and
there is probably no disease for which
such varied and useless lot of rem
edies have been suggested. To say
that it can be cured is, therefore, a
bold statement to make, but Cham,
berlain's Pain Balm, which enjoys an
extensive sale, has met with great
success in the treatment of this dis
ease. One application of Pain Balm
will relieve the pain, and hundreds of
sufferers have testified to permanent
cures by it's use. Why suffer when
Pain Balm affords sxch quick relief
and costs but trifle? For sale by all
druggists.

Jay Cooke.

The death of Jay Cooke will serve
to recall the fact that more than 80
years ago the banking house Of which
he was the head became the financial
agents of the Northern Pacific Rail-
road company.
Perhaps no other man had so much
to do with assisting our government
to borrow money during the trying
years of the civil war, when the sta
bility of the nation was at its lowest
ebb and it's credit SO badly shattered.
1t was largely through Mr.. Cookies
efforts with the banking fraternity
that the Lincoln administration raised
its first loan of $5O,0OO,000. Because
Of his faith in the Union cause and
his powers Of persuasion over more
timid f1nanciers, he became the gov.
ernment's agent in the disposal of it's
bonds, and by 1854 had been able to
find market for $513 1000, 900 of them.
ut is to his labors more than to those
of any other man that the people of
this country owe the continued life of
the nation,' said General Grant dur.
ing the last days of the war.

PARDON GRAND DUKE PAUL.
clemency to Brother Of Grand Duke
Serojus,


st. Petersburg.-Grand Duke Paul
Alexandrovitch will resume his mill
tary service as general aide de camp
to the emperor and will attend the
funeral Of Grand Duke Sergius at Mos
COW.
The decision of the emperor in this
period of his grief to restore Grand
Duke Paul, youngest brother Of Grand
Duke Sergius, to rank and family, Is
felt to be a most gracious act. Grand
Duke Paul was degraded several years
ago because he persisted in contract
ing a morganatic marriage with Mad
anne dig Pistolkoos, despite the COM
mands of the emperor and the wishes
of the imperial family. He was de-
prived Of rank in the army and his
orders and decorations were with
drawn. The doors of Russia were
closed to him. and Grand Duke and
Grand Duchess Sergius extended the
shelter of their home to his two chill
dren by his first marriage and vir-
tually adopted them. OF late the de-
cree against Grand Duke Paul has
been relaxed to the extent that he was
allowed to return to Russia, and the
emperors act now permits him to take
his rightful place with the other i'm.
perial mourners.
