Sciatica Cured After Twenty Years OF Tor.

For more than twenty years j. b. Mas
sey, of 1922 Clinton ST., Minneapolis,
Mimi, was tortured by sciatica. The
pain and suffering which he endured
during this time is beyond comprehen-
sion. Nothing gave him any permanent
relief until he used Chamberain's Pain
Balm. One application of that liniment
relieved the pain and made sleep and
rest possible, and less than one bottle
has effected a permanent cure. If trou.
bled with sciatica or rheumatism why
not try 25cent bottle of Pain Balm and
see for yourself how quickly it relieves
the pain. For sale by j. w. Bell, Wal
halla; w. j. Lunney, Seneca.

Smith Hearing Not Fixed.

Congressman Smith, has not yet been
able to find out just when his case will
come up before the House elections
committee No 2, TO which it was re-
ferred before the holiday recess. The
briefs and the printed testimony have
been turned over to the committee, but
Mr.. Olmsted, of Pennsylvania, the
chairman. does not appear to be in a
hurry to get to work
A significant fact is that Mr.. 0lmsted
has been named as chairman of the com
mittee of the whole, as il is known in
parliamentary language, to WELD the
gavel in the House while the Philippine
bill is being considered. That will keep
him in the chair for an indefinite time,
as the Republicans have given no signs
of wishing to limit the debate on that
measure.
In election contests the Republicans
have been disposed during the last two
Congresses TO be very liberal to their
political opponents. Their success at
the polls in national contests has been
such that large majorities in the popu-
lar branch of Congress no longer make
it necessary for them to turn out Dem
ocrats simply because defeated Repub-
leans, like Mr.. Jackson, of Salisbury,
file contests.

WEDDING OUT THE SENATE.

One wholesome result of the campaign
against graft, which seems to run like
an infection from State to State through
out the Union. is a prospective improve
ment in the quality of the membership
of the United States Senate. Knox has
already taken the seat of Quay from
Pennsylvania, and Penrose has made
himself future impossihility. Platt
and Depew, of New York, and Dryden,
Of New Jersey, by curious turn in
procession of events, have been made to
stand up and under oath testify to their
own unftness. They may not resign;
but their day of influence or usefulness
is past Other and better men are sure
to succeed them.
Death and the process of the Courts
have removed Mitchell, of Oregon, and
Burton. of Kansas.
There are thirty Senators whose terms
expire in 1907. This gives to the awak
ened conscience of the country an inn
mediate opportunity OF making Itself
felt. both in the reward of faithful
service and in the rebuke of demerit.
Senator Alice, of Delaware, is in this
list. as well as Dryden, of New Jersey.
There is sting of truth in the decla
ration that the United States Senate
has become "a club of millionaires. :"
OF late years the Senatorial millionaires
have steadily iegslated in the interest
of millionaires and monopolies. 1t is
time that the States not the corpora
tons shall have representatives to
speak for them on the floor of the
United States Senate. The wedding
out process. already so effectively begun.
should be pushed until the Senate is re-
stored to something like its old-time
vigor and repute fhiimieipha Record.

bill to prohibit any life insurance com
pany doing business in this state from
issuing any policy participating in pro-

surplus to the policyholder shall be de-

surplus of $500, 900, 900, for which the
society was compelled to make no ac-

SNOW HILL. MD. JAN. 13.
PETITION AGAINST OYSTER LAW.

The oystermen of Worcester County
are thoroughly aroused against any pro-
vision of the Hannah Oyster Bill that
will include this county. and petition
to our Senator and Members of the
Legislature is being extensively signed
by the people.
The planters here have hard enough
time as it is, to make living, without
having additional burdens imposed upon
them.
The conditions surrounding the oyster
industry along the Sinepuxent Bay are
very different from those along the
Chesapeake. Here there is no planting
of shells or other spat catching substance
used. because it is unusual for the spat
to live. and the method is so unreliable
in these waters that it is not resorted
to. Our oystermen do not rely upon
natural growth oysters. but secure
small oysters wherever they can be OBJ
tanned. and plant them in the bay to
grow and fatten. Then comes the try
ing ordeal. If the water is too salt the
oysters are stunted in their growth. and
are as poor rs the proverbial Job $
Turkey. This condition arises from a
continued drouth, and frequently
occurs. II we have continued wet
season the waters of the bay become so
fresh that the oysters die for want of
the food essential to their maintenance.
Very frequently whole vessel load of
plants will die before they can be placed
upon the planting ground. because of
unfavorable weather conditions.
The impression is abroad, however,
that our oysterymen are making money
hand over fist. This is not the case.
On the other hand, because of the in
creased cost of plants, the enormous
cost of handling the plants, and the I'M
certainty attached to the whole enter
prise, many men supposed to be success
full planters are deserving the business
and turning to farming or mercantile
pursuits.
Those who are yet in the business are
opposed to the Hannah Bills becoming a
law if it applies to Worcester County.
and they say if it should become a law,
and apply to Worcester County, it
would sound the death knell of planting
here, as our planters have all the trou-
bles they can stand up to without addl-
tional tax-burdens.
A prominent lawyer, who has sunk
some money in the bay never to find 1t
again, says that although there are
plenty of planting bottoms FREE to
whoever will take possession of them,
the fact remains, that the business here
is not very alluring, when of all the
Sinepuxent Bay there is not more than
an area of one square mile now planted
in oysters. Mr.. Hannah can come here
and get all the oyster ground he wants
without protest. and it will not take
the State oyster navy to protect his
plants.

back to mind and memory the golden
days of country living. The yellow
Newton is none other than the famed
Albemarle pippin an apple fit for a
queen to eat. and which, in very fact.
the late Queen Victoria of England is
said to have eaten, as shipments were
made to her from the Virginia orchards
regularly for many years. With care
in planting. wisdom in the selection
of varieties and proper attention to the
growing trees in spring and fall and
through the fruiting season, success
with apple culture is sure to follow.
Down on the old farm" there used
to be succession of apples from the
early harvest sweets in June to the
mellow russets of the late fall. In hum
dreds of instances the old orchards
have played out, and there has been no
replanting. A few gnarled and hoary
relics of the ancient glory of the past
are all that is left to tell the tale. There
is little on farm more profitable than
the apple. certainly nothing costing less
in time, labor or money to successfully
cultivate. II is fruit for which there
is always fair demand and it is a fruit
people are getting to know and appre-
ciate better all the time. Crisp. juicy,
tart or sweet il is fruit full Of health
fulness. refreshing and tonic qualities.
1t is a blessing to mankind. Let us be
thankful for the apple. -BaItimorf Ners
