The American people Will not tolerate the happy-go-lucky system of no control over the great interstate railroads, with the insolent and manifold abuses which have SO generally accompanied 1t. The control must exist somewhere; and unless 1t Is by thoroughgoing and radical law placed upon the statute books of the nation 1t will be exercised in eyer-in- creasng measure by the several states. The same considerations which made the founders of the constitution deem it i'm peratlve that the nation should have complete control of interstate commerce apply with peculiar force to the control of interstate railroads at the present day; and the arguments of Madison of Vir- gina, Pinekney of South Carolina, and Hamilton and Jay of New York, in their essence apply now as they applied l2o years ago

interesting games ever played in

nounced that Mr.. Fl. r. Warren,

be a close and exciting game
throughout, the score being to 0
in favor of the visitors. the one
score being through an error,
wild throw by the Covington pitcher
to second bBse, and an error by
center fielder.

tion by frequent applause.
The only swo hits in the game
was made by Archie Smith, of the
Covingtons, who made two bag
ger, and Marquette, also of the
Covingtons, who reached first

their handsome new uniforms of

RELIEF FROM RHEuMAIIc PAINS.

Among the troubles that beset man
kind, rheumatism is most aggravating.
81 suffered with it for over two years"
says Mr.. Roland Curry, a patrolman of
Key West, Fla. Sometime it settled
in my knees and famed me SO I could
hardly walk; at other times it would
be in nay feet and hands SO I was in
capacitated for duty. One time when I
was in severe pain and lame from it my
wife went TO the drug store here and
came back with q bottle of Chamber
lain's Pain Balm. I was rubbed with it
and found the pain had nearly gone
during the night. I kept on using it
for little more than two weeks, and
found that it drove the rheumatism
away. / have not had any trouble
from that disease for over three
months"
