horses and the racing program will
be one of the most attractive features
Of the fair.

There Is more Catarrh In this section OF
the country than ali other disease put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced 1t local
disease and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly falling to cure with local
treatment, pronounced 1t lncuraole. SCI
ence has proven catarrh to be a constitu-
tlsnal disease and therefore requires con-
stltutional traetment. Halls catarrh Cure,

CHEAPER RATE ON COAL.
Emergency Rate of 81 Per Ton to All
Points East of The Dalles.

Announcement was received at the
local office of the o. r. & n. of the
publication by the Union Pacific Of
an emergency rate of 81 ton for soft
coal from Omaha, Leavenworth and
Kansas City to The Dalles. Ore, and
points east of there. The rate. which
is made to meet the contingency of a
coal shortage in the northwest, will
be effective October Z.
Local railway officials say that this
will probably have the effect of bring
ing Illinois, Indiana. Missouri and
Kansas coal to eastern Oregon. The
northern lines recently published a
rate of $6 a ton from Duluth, and the
81 rate on the Hartman lines is the
equivalent of that rate.
Benjamin suits are the best made,

AN IMPORTANT CASE
Patient Cured Of Ataxia Gives the
Entire Credit to Or. Williams
Pink Pills.


Mrs. S. c. Wellock, of ia Cleveland
Avenue, Everett, Mass, the wife Of
an employe in the government works
at Chelsea, says:
81 had been troubled with nervous
ness for ten years and the disease
kept growing on me. Then l learned
that l was suffering from locOmotor
ataxia. I had terrible tremblings in
my right leg which would get rigid
and when this happened in the street
| mad to stand still until it passed
away to keep from falling. My right
arm felt as If thousand needles were
pricking it. The sheet touching my
knee in bed would, nearly cause me
to scream out with pain and both
knees were so weak l could hardly
stand.
81 had to use a cane and be helped
about by my son. Then the pain be
gan to settle in the calves of my legs
and the muscles became numb and
quivered constantly. The cords un-
der my knees seemed to be drawn up
tight and the terrible shooting pains
in my legs would nearly drive me in
sane. My toes became numb and at
times would prickle as if needles were
being thrust into them. My eyes be-
came dull and black spots fioated be-
fore them. My heart was very weak.
"My attention was called to DR..
Williams Pink Pills and bought sew
eral boxes right away and soon felt
relief. was so pleased that l kept
on taking them until they cured me
entirely, and have had no symptoms
of the trouble for over year"

VAST AREA DAMAGED BY WATER,
ARKANSAS SUFFERS MOST IN THE
GREAT SOUTHWEST
From Wrecks and Washouts Through
Rain-Railway Traffic is Crippled
On Numerous Lines.

Memphis, Tenn, Jan. 4.-Wrecks,
washouts and general damage by
storms and iucessant rain, which set
tied over Central and Eastern Arkan-
sas and reached this section before
dawn, has wrought hundreds of thou
sands Of dollars worth of damage.
1t is regarded in Arkansas as the
worst floods for years. Trains are
tied up on every line in the state. A
wrecker was sent to Ledwidge, 80
miles north of Little Rock, to rescue
train from big washout, delayed en-
route, and it is doubtful If it can reach
its destination.
The Fourche river, ordinarily a mar
row stream, is five miles wide at Lit
tie Rock, and railroad tracks are sub
merged.
c. H. Bevington, special trainmaster
of the Iron Mountain, went south on
special train, which carried boats.
The train was stopped at the edge of
Fourche bottom, where the water be.
gins, and Trainmaster Bevingtcn went
on in boats looking at the submerged
district, which is but partly inhabited.
The United States weather bureau
reports a rainfall of over $50 inches.
A big rise in the Arkansas river be-
low Dardanolles is predicted for the
next As hours. 1t is not thought, how
ever, a food stage will be reached.
White river is on a rampage, and is
predicted to go above flood stage south
Of Calico rock.
Near the Danger Line.
The river is within three feet Of the
danger line at Newport, and is rapid
ly rising. The Clarendon river is only
one foot from the flood stage. If the
rain continues to fall there is grave
apprehension that the worst is yet to
come. The last train to reach Little
Rock came at 1880 Wednesday night.
Telegraph wires are working badly
and the tie-up on all lines almost COM
plete. The washout at Ledwidge, 80
miles weSi. IS 100 feet long and 40 feet
deep. All east-bound trains are be-
hind.
On the Hot Springs line there Is a
big washout at Bauxite, and it is re-
ported the heavy steel bridge over the
Saline river is out of line. There are
no wires west and the offices here can
give no idea of the time when traffic
will be resumed.
The relief train started from Little
Rock to Ledwidge with Superintendent
A. G. Merrill aboard. ran. into a wash
out at West End, derailing the engine
and three cars. The damage was re-
paired and the train proceeded to Led
widge, where large force of men at.

MANY SOURCES OF SALT.
That from Natural Springs Is Genera
ally Most Nearly Pure.

The purity of salt depends upon the
source from which it is obtained and
the sanitary conditions under which,
it is prepared for the market. The
supply of common salt, the most in
dispensable of all the seasoning sub
and a well-nigh universal food pre-
servative, is exhaustless, yet even so
there is salt and salt, says the Pic
torial Review.
Formerly salt was obtained by evap-
orating ocean water, process that
left many impurities in the residuum,
to say nothing of it's exposure to all
kinds of dirt in it's shiNnent from sea-
ports. The Turks island or rock salt.
which is still largely used in pork
packing and in the manufacture of ice
creams, comes to the United States
in holds of vessels continually sub.
Iected to dirt and foul odors. Upon
Its arrival it Is again handled, then
packed in coarse burlap bags, permit.
ting dust to sift into the salt. In this
condition it reaches the consumer.
Latterly, however, the product of
salt springs has largely taken the lead
in this country not only for table salt
but for meat packing. The annual
production from this source in the
United States reaches more than 49,
1000 bushels, the state OF New York
in the vicinity of Syracuse furnishing
large proportion of this important
supply.

ehastly Facts About Lynching.

No one can look at one of the pho
tographs of a lynching without a
sense of abysmal horror. 1t is not the
horror alone or chiefly of the thing
itself, the ugly, inanimate center of
the tragedy. 1t is the faces of the
spectators that shock our very souls.
They are always laughing faces. Good
nature, even jollity, seems to be the
note of these gatherings. Always we
see the faces of little boys grinning
,cheerfulfy toward the camera. There
are women sometimes in the crowd,
and sometimes little girls. There is
no sign IN these pictures of horror of
death, even of grim satisfaction over
a difficult and obnoxious task per-
formed by necessity. The man who
called it "a "lynching bee" appreciated
the true feelings of the lynchers.
Leave out the grim wreck in the cen
ter, and the picture might be taken
for an ordinary cheerful gathering at
a country fair. Leave it in, says a
writer in American Magazine, and,
oh, my brothers! it is not the dead,
but the living that terrifies.

The chief wealth of the forests Of
Java, at the present time, consists in
the wood of the teak tree, which is
extensively employed for naval con-
struction. The trees are ordinarily
cut when they have attained an age
of about so years and a height of be-
tween 60 and 70 feet. The species
most esteemed has wood of IA brown
color possessing greasy feeling to
the touch. Since 1880 the teak has
been cultivated, and the cutting Of
the trees has been regulated by the
Dutch government. A peculiar fea.
ture of the eating, designed to cause
the wood to part slowly with its sap,
consists in the girdling of the trunks
short distance above the ground two
years befone the trees are felled. The
timber lis exported to all pants of Eu-
rope.

ENPTIED A SHOTGUN
At THE RIG CONTAINING THE
GOVERNORS DAUGHTER.
HEAVY COAT SAVED her LIFE.
Professor earman and wife Are A..
tackled BY Former Inmate Of
an Asylum.

Laporte, Ind, Jan. S.-A narrow es.
cape from death had the wife of Prof.
Harry o, Garman, who, before her
marriage, was Miss Ethel Hanly,
daughter OF J. Frank Hanly, governor
OF Indiana. Her husband is a son OF
former State Representative Noah Gar
man, and he is an instructor at Purdue
university.
While driving in a carriage with her
husband, father-in-law and H. A. Gar
man, the latter's brother William Coe,
who is alleged to be insane, emptted
the contents Of a shotgun at the party.
That none Of the party was serious.
ly injured was due to the fact that Coe
was about $50 feet away from the car
riage when he shot, and because all
wore heavy wraps. The shot pierced
the outer garments OF the men, but the
greater part Of the load was received
by the governors daughter, who was
nearest Coe. However, 1t only pene-
trated her fur coat and drew no blood.
The Garmans had attended a house
party at the Garman country home,
north Of Laporte, over New Years.
The men at the house. including Rev.
Reeder, Methodist minister OF Rolling
Prairie, went rabbit hunting. In the
course OF their wanderings they en-
countered William Coe, whose farm
adjoins the Garman broad acres.
Goes team acted unruly and he
claimed the shooting of the members
Of the hunting party had frightened
his animals. He vowed he would get
even.
Prof. and Mrs Garman returned to
Lafayette, and It was while they were
being brought to the city by the for
mer's father and brother that Coe en-
deavored to carry out his threat of get
ting even. After the shooting they
FASTENED to this city and reported the
matter to Sheriff Shutter, who dis
patched Deputy Sheriff Anstiss to ar
rest Coe.
Before the officer arrived Noah and
H. ]. Garman had started for home and
as they passed Goes house they were
again fired upon by Coe from the back
of the windmill, 800 feet distant. He
emptied both barrels of his shotgun
but owing to the distance the shot
simply ratified around them without
doing any harm.
Coe is 40 years OF age, and has been

Safe, Sure and Speedy.

No external remedy ever yet de-
vised has so fully and unquestionably
met these three prime conditions as
successfully as Allcock's Plasters.
They are safe because they contain
no deleterious drugs and are manu-
factured upon scientific principles of
medicine. They are sure because
nothing goes into them except ingre-
dents which are exactly adapted to
the purposes for which a plaster is re-
quired. They are speedy in their ac-
ton because their medicinal qualities
go right to their work of relieving
pain and restoring the natural and
healthy performance of the functions
of muscles, nerves and skin.
Allcock's Plasters are the original
and genuine porous plasters and like
most meritorious articles have been
extensively initiated, therefore always
make sure and get the genuine,

OF the Food That Restored Her to

lnflammatory rheumatism.
Il had tried different kinds of diet,
plain living, and many of the remedies
recommended, but got no better.
Finally, about five weeks ago,
mother suggested that l try Grape
Nuts, and l began at once, eating it
with little cream or milk. A change
tor the better began at once.
To-day am well and am gaining
weight and strength all the time. I've
gained 10 lbs. in the last five weeks
and do not suffer any more from indi-
gestion and the rheumatism is all
gone.

that owe my restored health. | still

The flavor of Grape-Nuts is peculiar
to itself. 1t Is neutral, not too sweet
and has an agreeable, healthful quail
lty that never grows tiresome.
One Of the sources of rheumatism
is from overlooking the system with
acid material, the result of imperfect
digestion and assimilation.
AS soon as improper food is aban-
doned and Grape-Nuts is taken regu-
larly, digestion is made strong, the or

Where Some Writers Fail.

The most frequent defect in fiction
submitted for magazine use and, we
might add, in most of the fiction that
somehow gets published in book form,
is its lack of spontaneity in construc-
ton and expression, says Harpers
Magazine The writer of this manu-
factured fiction has certain precalcu-
lated effect in view, with reference to
which he ambitiously contrives every
incident and situation of his story.
The harder he tries the more surely
he fails of any genuine appeal to his
readers. If he disguises his labor by
q facile mastery of dramatic material
and expression, he may succeed in
reaching crude sensibilities and, be-
cause of his lower aim, may Outsell
his betters. The multitude is easily
captivated by splendid artitice, which,
in exceptional instances, has COM
PEELED the admiration of even the ju-
dicious. We shall find, however, upon
close examination, that in such in
stances the writer has not, by his
strenuous effort, wholly closed the
door against all spontaneity. In
our day polite literature must appeal
to human sympathies, and the
writer's fertility of invention is of
little service.
