A difficulty occurred last night about 11 o'clock between Dempson Robinson and Jack Bridgwater, in which the latter was shot by Robinson and instantly k lied, the ball (a 4-caliber pistol, rangir z through the heart down through the kidney. Robinson was immediately arrested and placed in jail, and this morning seema very much unconcerned about the matter. In the afternoon these men had been wrestüog and Bridgwater had got the best of Kobinson, but ncthiDp: was thought by those present that anything serious would result from it, but Ilobinson afterward made some threats, and on meeting Bridgwater near the entrance to an alley in the south part of the city, near the Vandalia depot, he placed the pistol to his breast and fired. Bridgwater was a single man. and both of the men were raised about this city. The From er Murder. Grkekseckg, May 21. The public mind had begun to recover from the shock received from the terrible and unfortunate Cromer tragedy when the friends and relatives of the dead man were startled by a sensational article in a Cincinnati paper, attacking the character of John Fromer and giving extracts from letters claimed to have- been written by an Indianapolis woman, both to him and his wife. This article is generally believed to be a fabrication gotten up by some one here for the sole purpose of creating a sympathy lor her and diverting public attention from what is known to have been the true cause of the separation. The fact that neither of these unfortunate parties were ever known to speak unkindly of each other, but in the best of terms, even up to tbeday of the murder, would contradict the charge. Mrs. Fromer evidently had iull confidence in her husband and wished to live with him. This he had told her he could not do unless his little motherless children were permitted to remain at home. He had promised their mother on her dying bed to stand between them and the world if necessary. This pledge John Fromer kept, even pi vie g his life rather than break it. A man so true to the memory of his first wife, who always "spoke kindly of his living one, is not the kind of a man to suspect being untrue to his marriage vows. The most charitable construction that can be put upon tie woman's act is that, defeated in her wishes, she gave way to the power of passion and committed the terrible deed. It is unkind, unjust to the feelings of the community in which John Fromer lived and was respected to insult his memory. Corner-stone Laid. New a leas y, May 22. The ceremonie3 of laving the corner-stone of the new Government buildmg here to-day were conducted by the grand officers of the Gaand Masonic Lodge of the State. There were placed In the corner-stone photographs of President Cleveland and all the members of his Cabinet, the supervising architect and his chief clerk, and the chief clerk of the Secretary of the Treasury; photographs of the old buildings that occupied the Bite when the Government purchased it, both on 1'earl and Spring streets; reports of the Secretary of the Treasury and supervising architect, plans and specifications of the building, photograph of Captain J. S:ut Real, superintendent of the building; copies of the New Albany newspapers, a copy of the city charter and ordinances, proceedings of stated and regular meetings and rosters of the Masonic Grand Lodge and the Masonic lodges of the city, copies of Cincinnati, Louisville and Indianapolis newspapers. Hon. S. M. Stockslager, Assistant Commissioner of the General Land Office, "Washington City, who procured the passage through Congress of the appropriation for the erection of the building, followed the ceremonies with an eloquent address. The whole afiair was very grand. The gay decorations with bunting on the business houses, the flags afloat on the Courthouse and City-hall, and the enthusiasm of the citizens, together with the grand pagentry of the Masonic order rendered the occasion as enjoyable as it was notable.

There was a live ly time yesterday on the farm of Nicholas Auer, a farmer living twelve miles east of the city. A ditch assessment had been made against his property and afterward sold to a local real estate dealer, who sought to turn him oS the farm with a writ of ejectment. The writ was placed in the hands of Deputy Sheriff Clausmeier, who was met at Auer's barn by the wrathy fallow, Who pointed a gun at him and told him to leave on pain of instant death. The officer drew his revolver and fired, but Auer was not hit. The officer dodged behind a corner of the barn, and later returned to the city and reported his war-like reception to Sheriff Nelson, who was in consultation to-day with the State's attorney to ascertain the extent of his pow.-s in the matter. Auer has removed to his barn and keeps guard there, sleeping with his eun by his side. Further proceedings may be interesting as the fellow says he will shoot Clausmier down whenever and wherever he first meets with him. The Sheriff's officer declares he can prove Auer made this statement by several' neighbors, and .'iccordingly feels warranted in "getting the nop' on his man when they next collide. Fatal Effect of Gas on Fish. AsPEESOS. Ind., May 22. Great CXCitement was created here this evening on account of affidavits being filed for the arrest of Neal C. McCullougb, proprietor of the big gas well. The trouble grows out of the fact that the noise made by gas escaping from the well was declared a nuisance, and to abate this a number of pipes leadirg to "White River were laid, and the gas allowed to escape in the water. Soon afterwards complainants from the owners of Moss Island Mill, three miles below, were made because of the amount of dead lish in the fcrebay. Bushels of dead fish have been dratted from this place, and it is now claimed that the immense flow of gas from McCullough's well, which is allowed to burn as it rises from the waters of the river, causes the fishes to congregate there and they are then killed by the poisoned water?. W. A. Killinger and S. C. Martindale have been employed for the defense in anticipation of a legal fight. A Prominent Citizen of Greencastle Dent). Geeescastle, May 22. Councilman Jacob RatlilT died this morning at 8 o'clock, after an illness of some weeks. His trouble was rheumatism of the heart Mr. EatlifT was one of our best citizens, havinz served as a member of the City Council for six years, and had just entered upon his seventh year, having been re-elected this month to his fourth term, and, although a Democrat in politics and a strong partisan, he was so well liked as an officer that the Republicans placed no one in opposition to him at the last election, and the ward in which he resided being a Republican ward. He bad served his party as a member of the County Central Committee, and two years ago as chairman of that committee. Mr. RatliS came to this county from Kentucky about twenty years ago, and was a lumber dealer. He leaves a wife, two grown sons and a married daughter. More Bald Knobbers Arrested. Ozark, Mo., May 21. Sheriff Johnson returned to-day from Douglass County, bringing ten bald knobbers, three of them citizens of Christian County. They are wanted here by information given by one Swearingen. charging them with administering the hickory to him one night last Jnly, and they will be tried in one of the townships in the west end of the county. There is believed to be many cases of this kind which the last special Grand Jury failed to reach, and it is expected more arrests Will follow. The present case is the outgrowth of an old family feud, one of the Swearingens being indicted in 1SSG for a murder committed some twenty years ago, but the ca-e was carried over on general continuance at the last regular term of their Circuit Court. Kev. J. II. Slddall In Jail. Eessselaer, May 21. The Sentinel correspondent visited Rev.!James II. Siddali, of Kentland, who is confined in jail on the charge of sodomy, his frient'.s having procured a change of venue from the Newton Circuit Court to this place. Your correspondent found him sitting on a chair in the corridor of the jail near a window readiDg a . book entitled, "Iiis Own Master," written by Trowbridge, and on tbe window lay a small bible When asked his name he declined to be interviewed, and arose and commenced walking back and forth in the corridor of the jail, humming a tune, which he continued until your correspondent left. This is certainly a remarkable case. It is understood that his attornevs will rely on a plea of insanity. An Explosion In a Creek. Madison, Ind., May 21. The people of Republican township, in the southern part of this county, are greatly excited over the prospect of finding gas and oil. Last Thursday afternoon an explosion occurred In the bed ot a email stream running through the farm of J. Hensley. The report was heard for several miles and frightened cattle until they ran about like wild. A large opening was made in the creek bottom and the ttrong odor of gas permeated the air. The general supposition is that the explosion was caused by natural gas, as shale taken from the same spot several years since was fonnd combustible, and it is thought gas and oil can be found. Capitalists from this city will visit the spot to investigate further. Barn Struck by Lightning. LocAssroRT, May 22. During the thunder storm to-day I), and C. II. Uhl's barn across the street. from "The Mill," wa strnck by lightning. It was well-filled with hay and straw and it caught fire at once.

Uhl's prompt and practical action saved quite a loss. The loss is $1000, no insurance.

The bride is a very estimable lady, and Is the heir of a fortune running high into the thousands. " Tbe Kankakee Hay-Eater." Warsaw, May 19. It takes a surgical operation to make a Kosciusko County Republican admit that there can be anything wrong in his party, or that a Republican official can be anything but perfect; but Secretary of State Griffin will hear some thing drop up this way if he does not go at a less rapid gait than he has been traveling. When prominent Republicans up here refer to him as "the hay-eater from tbe ilankakee," it is time to expect miracles again. An Evansvllle Sensation F.nded. Evaksvilie, May 19. In the $10,000 breach of promise case of Fannie Koehler asainst Theodore J. Eeitz the jury after after being out five hours returned a verdict allowing plaintiff $2,500.

" IN v HEAT. Great Excitement In Chicago Among the "Bulla" and "Bears." Special to the Sentinel. Chicago, May 21. The wheat pit on 'Change is the scene of greater excitement now than for many months past. Of course, all attention is still concentrated on the clique brokers. Rumor has come out with a most vigorous denial of having a dollar's interest in tbe deal, either directly or indirectly, and it is now pretty definitely known that one of the leading manipulators, and probably the mysterious "Nelson," who sends the cipher instructions to the clique brokers here, is Nelson Perin, of Cincinnati. Mr. Perin is the heir of a great whisky magnate, but is described as "a young operator who plunges." It is plain that the "squeeze" is approaching a point where the qualities of its backers will be severely tested. As the end of the month draws into sight tbe bear party Is donning its fighting clothes, and the battle threatens to become ugly. The bears are industrions, and are headed by the old-time leaders, who have money, and who have often shown nerve and ability far above the average. Inside the clique rank gossips have it that there has lately been considerable of a quarrel. One branch of the combination, it is said, favored the "pegging" of the June option at 66c until turroundlng markets got into line and as much wheat as possible was moved cut of the country. These men are angry because their advice was not taken. Perhaps the worst feature of the deal now, from a bull standpoint, is the drop in wheat freights from Minneapolis here to 7J;.'c per ico pennds, or to 4c per bushel. Tnere are 7,000,000 bushels of wheat there, and as at present prices a sure profit is insight a vast deal of it is bound to come forward for Jure. This, sellers claim, compels the manipulators to rush prices up at once, or to let them down enough to wipe out this big margin. On the other hand, so far as appearances 0, the clique never had the market in better control than now, and in spite of the continuation of the boycott against them in the trading pit, it is noticed that about all the wheat sold eventually drifts up against two or three houses. Late advices from the northwest declare that the crop outlook is not nearly as bright as previously painted, and California crop reports continue glowing. Cables are steady and white receipts at New York are very heavy. Clearances are also enormous, so that that point is at present merely a way station. Ocean freight room, it is stated on gcod authority, has been engaged aid is waiting for 2,000,000 bushels, which will be shipped on arrival. Thus May is likely to be the banner export month of the fiscal year. After all, however, the future of the market depends almost wholly upon how much money the clique can muster within the next ten days. Corn rules weak on larger receipts and on rains m sections where moisture was needed. Robert Warren has been a heavy seller. The bulls are banking a good deal just now on the short crop of hay, claiming that at present prices hay is dearer than corn. The cash demand for corn here is mainly for local consumption. Provisions rule dull and very nearly featureless. Traders are indifferent and the feeling is easy, receipts of hogs at the 5 ards are large. BECOMING HOLY TERRORS. All New Work City Getting Stirred Cp Over the Salamanders. New York, May 21. The salamanders have at last been called to the attention of the city authorities, and they are going to be quarantined, or fumigated, or disinfected, or something of the kind. This letter was received by the Board of Health yesterday: "International Hotel, ) "17 and 19 Park Row, May IS, 1SS7. "To the Board of Health: "Gentlemen There are at present two salamanders at 05 Park Row, one in an iron tank and the other running in the cellar. They poison everything they come in contact with, even the water they swim in. Your attention is called to the matter, as the people in this neighborhood are afraid to go ont after dark and rents are rapialy being depreciated. I remain, very truly yours. Ex-Offcer." An officer of the Board of Health started for Reiche' b store early this morning armed with the letter, a huge bludgeon, a 32-cali-ber revolver and a bottle of carbolic acid. On his way he picked up Policeman Levy, whom he persuaded to accompany him on his dangerousmission. He entered the store very cautiously and glanced in a nervous way at the cage containing the two little marmosets. A parson bird from New Zealand gave a shrill squawk behind him and a cold chill ran down his back. "What sort of a thing is this salamander that je'r gotheie, at any rate?" be asked at length. Mr. Peitzel, the book-keeper, led the way to the salamander's tank and told the oßicer to look in. But the officer was not going to run any risk. He picked up the cover, which is full of augur-holes, and tquinted through one of them at the death-dealing reptiles. He could not see very much that way, so he asked for a pane of glass, and when it was supplied used it as a shield for his face. "Don't go too near, or you might inhale the fnmes of the water,' said Mr. Deitzei. "What'd they do if I did?" "Send you into a fit." "Really?" "Really." The officer said that he would not give any orders about the salamanders until he had reported to the board, and he went In the direction of the International Hotel to interview Colonel Van Brimmer and find out who wrote that letter. Mr. Reiche has shut down to some extent on visitors to the salamanders. He says he will have to hire more men if the excitement keeps up Jo manage the crowds of curious sightseers. People invent all kinds of queer excuses to see the strange reptiles. Mr. Reiche is continually called upon to pass Impossible reporters, who appear with reams of foolscap and dozens and dozens of pencils. Then there are make-beiieve savants by the score, stray college professors, old-time circus men and hundreds of persons who go in as if they wanted to buy something a canary or a eta lion. They always wind up by saying that they will come again, and ask to see the salamanders. John McCullcm, a cracker-baker, called yesterday with an artist to get some sketches of the Japanese lile-destroyers. He said he wantect to make crackers in the shape of the salamanders. He thought they would be appetizing, and there was money in it. A young lady called with a little skye terrier yesterday afternoon, and went up to see the fire-proof lizards. She was fascinated with them and did not notice that the little dog was drinking some of the water from the tank which had dripped from the basin on the floor. The attendant says that the dog bad three convulsions in four minutes and then curled up in a heap and died. He added that sixteen dead rats were found lying about the room early this morning. "A Smart Alec." Scott County Democrat. The new Republican Secretary of State, one Griffin, is evidently a "smart Alec." Ua either knows too much or is woefully ignorant. The law requires an abstract of the receipts and expenditures oi tne xreaanrr to be published and distributed with the Acts of tbe Gensral Assembly, but Giiffin has distributed the Acta without the abstract. Destructive Forest Fires. Detboit, Mich., May 21. Specials to the Evening Journal from various pom is in the Upper Peninsula . say: "Crystal Falls, rmfl mining town thirty miles from Iron Mountain, is in eminent danger of destruction Iron xoreeVfixee, Iron Mount

THE "SQUEEZE

ain, Quinceslec and Norway are out of danger. Along the Dnlnth, South Shore and Atlantic, west of Marquette, the fire burned themselves out, Baraga and L'Anz are still in danger, but both places have good fire protection. The destruction of cord-wood and standing pines is estimated at $3,500,000. The Southern Peninsula is also suflering from the fires. Besides the neighborhood of Cheboygan, the fires are causing considerable destruction in Clara County. Several million feet of timber have been destroyed. P. J. Gorham's sawmill and a quantity of lumber burned at Lake City yesterday, causing $20,000 loss.

A PECULIAR CASE. Important Decision by Judge Uretliam Yesterday In Chicago. Chicago, May 20. An opinion was rendered in the United SUtes Circuit Court to-day by Judge Gresham, which is of th8 greatest importance to bankers and banking men. A like case has never before been decided in American courts. A. J. Gillespie & Co., of Kansas City, were owners of about 1.100 head of cattle, and about the 1st of October, 1SS5, they shipped the herd to Chicago, consigning them to the stock-yard commission firm of Rappal, Sons it Co., and immediately drew drafts for the approximate value of the cattle. Rappal, Sons fc Co., between the 2d and Cth of the month, sold the cattle and deposited the monev, about $25,000. with the Union Stock-yards National Bank. At the time Rappal, Bons fc Co., were overdrawn at the bank about the same amount. The bank not knowing who the money belonged to, but only that it was deposited to the credit of Rappal, Sons it Co., appropriated the money to pay the overdraft, claiming to hold the same by "vanpers lien." Gillespie it Co. tiled a bill in the United States Court against the bank to recover the money. Judge Gresham decided to day that Gillespie & Co. were entitled to the $2j,0C0. PAREONED BY THE GOVERNOR. Henry C. Doolittle Has a Fourteen Years' Sentence Shortened to Liberty. Henry C. Doolitttle, whb was sentenced in 1883 to fourteen years imprisonment in the Southern Prison at Jefiersonvitle by the Fayette Circuit Court, was pardoned by the Governor yesterday. The charge upon which Doolittle recived his sentence was assault and battery with intent to kill. The sentenced man 13 about twenty-eight years of age and was a traveling salesman for a Cincinnati house. He formerly iesiaed in Cleveland, Ohio. He fell in love with a young lady of that city and married her. They lived together very happily for a time, and one child was born to them. But they were finally separated, though no divorce was applied for by either. She seemed to be somewhat extravagant and he was unable to keep her. Doolittle, however, was at times improvident. A reconciliation between these two traits of chmcter, of course, couldn't take place. She finally came to Connersville, this State, where she had relatives. He grew despondent and reckless after this step was taken by her, and drank a great deal. After they had lived apart for several months he came to Connersville to see his wife. One evening as he was out walking on the street he met his wife in company with a friend. He endeavored to talk to her, but she used language so bitter and appeared so indifferent to his feelings that on the impulse of the moment be raised a rattan came and struck her across the face, inflicting a severe wound. She in endeavoring to get away, so the facts seem to indicate, fell upon the curb, bruising her hea l, but not seriously hurting herself. He left town forthwith and remained away some time. Finally, he come back voluntarily to look after his child, who was living: with its mother, and was promptly arrested. The feeliDg m Connersville was very much against him. He did not attempt much defense, acknowledging that he struck his wife, but with no murderous intent. Doolittle was hurried through a speedy trial, and to the surprise even ot the judge and prosecuting attorney he received the full sentence under the law. He has served nearly four vears in the penitentiary, and bis conduct while there has been the best. Governor Gray has received many petitions for his pardon, one of them from Judge S. A. Bonner, who sentenced him and tbe Prosecuting Attorney. The Judge said that he thought the penalty was very severe, and that Doolittle in nowise deserved such a sentence. The Prosecuting Attorney stated that it was to his surprise that such a verdict was rendered by the jury. He believed the man was guilty, but also was convinced that the law had been vindicated in Doolittle's imprisonment for four years. Gov ernor Oray, on reviewing the testimony in tbe case, pardoned the man on condition that he would not break the law hereafter. Doolittle is an educated man, and is far removed in every respect from the general class of criminals. His letter to the Gov ernor asking for his release was remarkably well composed. "Sherldan'a KIde." Sheridan had left Washington on the morning of October IS, 1.SG4, by train, and passed the night at Winchester, twenty miles north of the battle-field. On the morning of the 19th, he heard the firing of cannon, and sent out to inquire the cause, but was told it came from a reconnoissance. At 9 o'clock he rode leisurely out of Win chester, not dreaming that his army was in danger. Alter a little, he heard again the sound of heavy guns, and now he knew wbat it must mean. Not half a mile from Winchester he came upon the appalling marks of defeat and rout. The runaways from the battle, still in flight, had got so far as this in their terror. The trains of wagons were rushing by, horses and drivers all In confusion, for there is no worse turmoil in this world than the flight and wreck of a beaten army. Sheridan had never seen his own men in this condition before. He at once ordered the trains to be baited, and sent for a brigade of troops from Winchester; these he posted across the road to prevent further straggling. Then he called for an escort of twenty men, and, directing bis stall to stem the torrent as well as they could, he set off himself for the battlefield. He rode straight into the throng of fagitives, in a splendid passion of wrath and determination, spurring his horse and swinging his hat as he passed, and calling to the men: "Face the other way, boys ! Face the other way !" Hundreds turned at the appeal, and followed him with cheers, for they all knew Sheridan. It was 10 o'clock before he reached the field. He rode about hurriedly, glanced at the position, and at once determined upon his course. He rearranged the line ol those who were still unbeaten, and then went back to bring up the panic-stricken remainder. And now his presence and personal influence told. He was in the full uniform of a Major-General, mounted on a magnigcent black horse, man and beast covered with dust and flecked with foam; he rose again in his stirrups, he drew his sword, he waved his hat and shouted to his soldiers: "If I had been here, this never never would have happened. Face the other way, boys! We are going back!" The flying soldiers were struck with shame when they heard him shout and saw his face blazing with rage and courage and eagerness for them. They took up his cry themselves, "Face the other way I" It went on from one to another for miles from crowd to crowd and they obeyed the command. As the swelling shout went on. the surging crowd returned. They faced the other way, and, along the very road which a cowering mob had taken three hours before, the same men marched, with the tread of soldiers, to meet the enemy. They knew now that they were led to victory .-General Badeau, In Et, Jilcholaa for June.

VOLCANOES IN MEXICO. lAte Xewa From tue Kegtons Recent I Visited by Earthquake Shocks. City of Mexico, May 21. Reports from local cllicials in the regions of North Mexico recently visited by earthquake shocks reached here to day. The Chief of the Fiscal Guard at Babispesays: "The earthquake was so strong here that it did not leave a single habitable house standing. Sixty persons were killed, and many were wounded beyond hope of recovery. Between 3 p. m. and 1 a. m. of the day following there were eighteen shocks. We are still digging out bodie9, and think the number cf killed will reach 150. A letter from Janos, in Chihuahua, says: "The greater part of the houses here were destroyed, but nobody was tilled." The Jefe politico, of Casas Grandes, sends word that Ibere is great need of food for sufferers in the district aßected. Another letter from Janos declares the existence of an extensive volcano, and says: "The smoke is so dense it cuts off tbe sun's rays. Many testify that when the earthquake occurred they saw large bowlders shoot up into the air, and that flames burst forth from the summit of the mountain, setting lire to the forest." The Municipal President of San Andres writes: "At 3:30 p. m. an extraordinary earthquake occurred here. I assure you there was cot a person at the time who could explain how he felt. Houses were shattered and glass broken, but the most remarkable of ail was this: There is a clear sprirjg called Perada in an arroyoattae foot of a blnflf. For two hours this spring flowed an immense stream of water thick with red mud, but after a while it returned to its original condition," A later letter from Casas Grades says : V'ln the mountains which we call Sierra Madre a volcano of fire was started which is even now covered with great clouds of smoke The volcano burst forth at precisely the hcur the earthquake was felt." An Incentive to Greatness. Arkansaw Traveler. "It is socially dangerous to express suci an opinion," sa:d an old man, "but did you ever notice that the most successful men in nearly all departments of life era reformed drunkards?" "I have noticed that a great many of them are," some one replied, "but that i3 no argument in favor of intemperance." "Ob, no, but, on the contrary, it is an argument in favor of reformation." "But unless a man has been a drunkard how can he reform?" "We won't go into an argument of the finer points of the case. I make the assertion that the most successful men in business, law and literature are reformed drunkards. It seems that when a man drinks until he becomes thoroughly convinced that unless he changes his course be will never amount to anything, he is moved by a power which sober men never feel, and that he calls to his aid an ability which men who have always been temperate can not summon. He has to build up his character and business at the same time; and building up one seems to help the other. Now there was Horace Greeley "He never drank?" "What, Horace Greeley never drank?" "Never took a drink in his life?" "Well, we'll take Daniel Webster." "Webster didn't reform." "What, Daniel Webster didn't reform?" "No sir." "Well, then we'll take-hang it, we'll take a drink." She Couldn't Stand It. Merchant Traveler.l "George, we must part forever." "I am not surprised. I expected this blow," said George disconsolately, as he leaned his handsome head against one of the marble pillars of the richiy furnished drawing-room. "You love me not." "Indeed I do love you, but " "You love me! Then what can prevent our speedy union? You can not hesitate because of tbe difference in rank. You know that levels all ranks." "No, Augustus; there is one species of rack that love is powerless to exert any influence over." "What is that, darling?" "That horrible scent of onions on your breath." Senator Tti-t Calls on Sir. Cleveland. Baltimore Sua. Senator Vest called at the White House yesterday for the first time since the second-term story was started. The President laughed quite heartily over the Senator's faux pas in the various interviews credited to him on the subject of a second term, and remarked that he knew the story started with the Missouri Senator, because it contained a statement that he never made to any one else but him, and that was that "no one but his wife would believe him when he said he was not a candidate for a second term." After talking the matter over pleasantly both concluded that no serious harm had been done. The Bepubllcans to Blame.

Tfce Saccessful Eecedy for Nasal CatarrL

Must be non-Irritating, easy of application, and one that will, by its own action, reach all the remote sores and ulcerated surfaces. The history of the efforts to treat catarrh during the past lew years demonstrates that only one remedy has met these conditions, and that is Ely's Cream Balm. This safe and pleasant remedy has mastered catarrh as nothing else has ever done, and both physicians and patients fieely concede this fact. The more distressing symptoms quickly yield to it, and a multitude of persons who have for years borne all the worry and pain that catarrh can inflict, testify to radical and permanent cures wrought by it. Ely's Cream Balm is perfectly soothing, excites no dread, dissolves the hardened accumulation, lessens the extreme sensibility of the nerve centers to cold andall external irritants, and is followed by no reaction whatever. T1SIB3 nt tub OSUCIBLE. About twenty years ago I discovered a little sore on my check, and the doctors prcnouiced It cancer. I bare tried a number or physicians, but without receiving any permanent benent Among the number were one or two specialists. The medicine they applied was like fire to the sore, causing Intense pain. I saw a statement In the papers telling what S. S. S. had done for others similarly adlcted. I procured some at fccnce. Iktora I had used the second bottle tho neighbors could notice that my cancer was healing up. 11 y general health bad been bad for two or three years I had a hacking cough and eplt blood continual!. I bad a severe pain In my breast. After taking six bottles of S. S. S. my cough left me and I grew stouter than I had been for several years. My cancer has healed over all but a little spot about the size of a half dime, and It Is rapidly disappearing. I would advise every one with cancer to give 8. S. S. a fair trial. Mas. NANCY J.
