For more than twenty years Mr.. ]. B.
Massey of 1922 Clinton ST., Minneapolis,
Mimi, was tortured by sciatica. The pain
and suffering which he endured during this
time is beyond comprehension. Nothing
gave him any permanent relief until he
used Chamberlain's Pain Balm. One APP
plication Of that lnament relieved the pain
and made sleep and rest possible, and less
than one bottle has effected a permanent
cure. Mr.. Massey relates his experience for
the beneft of others who may be similarly
affiicted. II troubled with sciatica or rheu-
matism why not try a 3-cent bottle of Pain
Balm and see for yourself how quickly it
relieves the pain.

with Drs. Council, Peabody, Dan Lee and
d. A. McDermott as leading figures. DR..
Connell is reputed to have used up more

the appointment than any other one man

Some or Al MIRht he.

I'm not saying that all the mayors APP
pointments would be rejected, but some or
all might be-" said one of the councilmen-
elect discussing the situation.
Leading democrats are doing their best
to prevent an open rupture between the
mayor and his council, for they fear the
worst, particularly since what looks to be
authentic information has crept out regard
ing several Of the Honorable Jims selec-
lions.
Chief OF the disturbance foci is that con-
corning the reappointment of Tom Lee as
city prosecutor. Lee served the last three
years in the place under the Moores ad-
minstration and is supposed to be re-
publican. 1t was said on what looked TO
be excellent authority that Mr.. Dahlman
had decided upon Lees retention.
According to the statement Chairman
Billiard of the democratic city committee
headed a delegation to urge the appoint
ment of n. s. Daniel for prosecutor.
Mayor-elect Dahlman Is reported to have
told the delegation that it might save its
breath, for he had promised to name Lee
end would do so. Chairman Billiard is
quoted as authority for the statement of
the interview.
Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1906-05-18

1t is said that Lees father, Ambrose
Lee an old-time citizen has asked the
mayor-elect not % reappoint his son, being
anxious to sever him from association with
Third ward characters and environment.
Many democrats say Lees reappointment
would be a red rag in the face of the
council and that a majority of the body
would turn it down. They say tactics
would be used on Dahlman to make him
reconsider similar to those employed to
annul the stating Of Tom Flynn for street
commissioner.
1t is now understood that the Power
faction, aided by others, has made such
an onslaught on Flynn as to put his selec-
ton for street commissioner out of the
question; that Powers forces have won
out and Flynn will be given the job OF
plumber inspector If he will take it. The
choice for street commissioner is now pre-
sumed to lie between owen Slavin, street
car conductor. and William ]. Yancey, a
sidewalk contractor and familiar figure in
city hall circles.

PRICE OF ASBESTOS.

The average value Of United States
asbestos in 1905. as reported by Mr..
George Otis Smith. OF the United
States geological survey was less than
S14 ton. This represents range In
reported selling prices from SIS to over
800. The average price Is practically
that Of the better grades Of amphibole
asbestos. In 1905 the average value Of
the Canadian product was over $29,
which shows the greater value Of the
chrysolite fiber.
The prices for the different grades
of asbestos are reported by the de-
partment of the interior as ranging
from S175 to 5000 per ton for No. l
crude, the best grade. to $50 or S25
for the short and broken fiber used for
paper stock. The best grade of long
fiber suitable for spinning sells for
S75 to $50.
These prices afford data for a prop
er estimate of the value OF any asbes-
tos deposit, but even more important
is the determination OF the percentage
of different grades of asbestos present
in the rock as mined.
Canadian authorities state that on
an average from 30 to so per cent of
all the rock they mine Is suitable for
milling.

"soCrETY"-PAsT AND PRESENT.

You remember the description of
Nero's garden in QUO vadis'?
The tinkling fountains, the dreamy
bowers, the labyrinthine paths
through the Towering trees and
shrubs. the mazes of light and shadow.
the secluded arbors. the hidden dells.
the splendid forests, blossoming every
month in the year and lighted with
thousands of soft lights rdarkened
at the will of its master spirit, Nero.
1t was builded and planned for the
development of debauchery and vol
uptuousness. 1t was conceived by
that human monster. for purposes of
depravity. And yet in the depths of
the night hundreds of the most prom
inent Romans, men and women. might
be found reveling in its shadows and
drinking its sensuality, although in
the daylight they walked the paths of
recdtude with apparent honesty and
sincerity.
Scarcely less corrupting and de-
grading are the elegant quarters main
tanned by society" leaders in New
York, where. hidden from the eyes
NJ the public, seemingly uecent men
and women maintain dives which
would shame the king of Abyssinia.
Such an establishment was main
tained by Stanford White, who was
murdered by Harry Tnaw. White
lived apart from his family in bach
elor quarters" where by means Of
drugs, duplicity. persuasion and stud
led depravity, he led young women to
their ruin. without blush.
And yet he walked the streets in
daylight, an apparently decent archi-
tect. He associated with good people.
He was known to be an able man, a
genius in his line.
But the other side of his accursed
life made him deserve the hangman' z
moose, the stake, or any form of tor
ture which such a life or shame and
,depravity might justify.
Shame on that society" which en-
braces such a man, genius though he
may be. Man is responsible accord
ing to his intelligence, and If White
was really an able man, the more
damnable was his corrupt life.
Whites depravity does not excuse
Thaw, however. the son Of rich par
ents, a profligate idiot, with money tc
spend but no brains, no moral con.
ceptions TO guide him.

THE WOMEN NEVER SLEEP.

Before the clouds of defeat are
cleared away from the battlefield of
the last election in Oregon, the equal
suffrage forces are rallying for more
determined charge in 1908.
Already circular letters and petit
tions are out MS beginning of the
campaign for the next election. The
equal suffrage amendment will be
presented to the voters of Oregon
every election until it is finally adopt
ed. \ campaign of education will be
carried on from county to county and
from precinct to precinct, until the
voters of the state are convinced of
the justice of the cause.
Surely the women who watch over
the men children of the nation, who
nurse them into manhood, who frame
their characters, who direct their
minds into the highest paths ever at
tanned, are capable of voting intelli-
gently.
The women of oregon never sleep
when justice or liberty need defend
ers. Their splendid fight for equal
rights should appeal to the gallantry
of Oregon men SO strongly that they
would yield to the demand without
a protest.

calves. 2S5,000 hogs, 100000 sheep.
$3.50 horses and 5000 cars. Cattle and

secutive month that cattle and calf
receipts were greater than in any pre-

yards were established.

yards combined with over $4,000 re-
ceived at the Fowler private yards.

public yards in June, 1898. At that
tina F'owler's had not established pri-
vate yards. This years sheep receipts
were within 1000 of the previous best
record made in 1897. The highest
prices on record for the current month
were paid for sheep and lambs.
