A SURPRISED PHYSICIAN.

■A dying patient recovers through the Interposition of a humble German. Chicago, Nov. 15. Some weeks ago Dr. G— —, a very reputable and widely-known physician, living on C Street, was called to attend a very complicated case of Rheumatism. Upon arriving at the house he found a man about forty years of age, lying In a prostrated -and serious condition, with his whole frame dangerously affected with the painful disease. He prescribed for the patient, but the man continued to grow worse, and on Sunday evening he was found to be in a very alarming condition. The knees and elbows -and larger joints were greatly inflamed, and could not be moved. It was only with extreme difficulty that the patient could be turned in bed, with the aid of three or four persons. The weight of the clothing was so painful that means had to be adopted to keep It from the patient’s body. The doctor saw that his assistance would be of no avail, and left the house, the members of the family following him to the door, weeping. Almost immediately the grief stricken ones were addressed by an humble German. He had heard of the despair of' the family, and now asked them to try his remedy, and accordingly brought forth a battle of St Jacobs OIL The poor wife applied this remedy. The first application eased the patient very much; after a few hours they used it again, and, wonder of wonders, the pain vanished entirely! Every subsequent application improved the patient, and in two days he was well and out When the doctor called a few days after, he was indeed surprised.

An Ingenious Convict’s Device.

Charles Lennox, confined at Butte, Mont., under sentence of death for murder, recently shot through the bars of, the death cell and out of the jail window an arrow which he had fashioned with his penknife, tied to which was a message to the wife of Sheriff Furey of Silver Bow county. Lennox makes a polite request In the note for some literature. He met Mrs. Furey recently and she was very kind' to him. The murderer used an old corset steel for a bow and tied * piece of pink ribbon to the arrow, which was picked up and sent to Mrs. Furey by a messenger boy.—Portland Oregonian.

Deafness Cannot Be Cored by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucus lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness Is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to Its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucus surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, „ F. J. CHENEY A CO., Toledo, a Sold by Druggists, 75c.

An Item in Demand.

He was cutting an item from a newspaper. “It tells how a house was robbed, and I want to show it to my wife,” he explained. “What good will that do?” a friend inquired. "A whole lot,” was the reply. “You see, this house was robbed while the man was at church with his wife.” “Say!” exclaimed his friend excitedly, “you haven’t got a duplicate copy of that paper, have you?"

GENERAL MILES PRAISES ARMY

United States Troops Have Proved Their Fitness on the Battlefield. URGES AID FOR ARTILLERY ARM Little Attention Being Paid to Proper Housing of That Branch of the Service, Though It Is Exposed to the Climatic Elements. The annual report of Lieut. Gen. Miles, commanding the army, has been made public. The commanding general has much to say in praise of the officers and men of the army. “The experience during the great civil war and years of campaigning along our western frontier," he says, “afforded the best schools of practice for our army In former years. The attention given to calisthenics and gymnastics and military exercises made our small army a corps of athletes, while the elementary schools established for enlisted men, the post libraries, the post lyceums, and officers* schools, the various schools of instruction and practice for officers, as well as the military academy, produced an army of such excellence that I was able in my annual report for 1896 to state: ‘The personnel of the army was never in better condition.* Praise for AIL “This was proven to be true by the fortitude, skill and heroism displayed in every serious campaign, on every field of mortal combat, whereever the army has been engaged in any part of the world during the last four years. During that time many changes have occurred and the army has been largely increased. “The long and varied service of the senior officers, their experience in organizing, disciplining, instructing, and leading their comrades, as well as the excellent discipline, instruction, and exemplary conduct of the soldiers of the army of *9B, have been the leaven of the army of the present time. Evils may creep into any system or great organization. Such as have affected our army have been or will be eradicated.” Quarters for Artillerymen. Gen. Miles indorses the recommendation of Gen. Brooks for a readjustment of the geographical limits of the different departments with a view of equalizing conditions. He calls attention to the necessity of quarters for troops, saying that while hundreds of of dollars are being spent for quarters for cavalry, little is being used to afford shelter for artillery, which is exposed to severe climates along the coasts. “These troops,” says Gen. Miles, "are required to be located adjacent to the fortifications, notwithstanding the exposed position of many of them, and I see no reason why buildings should not be properly constructed in time to be occupied, when it is known for years exactly where and when they will be required. Some Criticism. "I also call attention to the incomplete condition of the fortifications, especially on the Pacific coast, where millions have been expended in engineering and ordnance work, and yet the commands have not been properly supplied with ammunition, electrical plants, and other appliances essential to the effective use of these fortifications in actual warfare.” Of the actual campaign work of the army during the last year, Gen. Miles says: “During the last year there have been no serious engagements, except that of the troops under Gen. Frank D. Baldwin in Mindanao, P. L, with the Moros. For the number of men engaged this was a spirited and desperate engagement. Our forces were commanded by one of the most experienced and efficient officers of tue army, whose record has always been of the highest order, and his achievements, together with that of the troops, in this engagement, made another chapter of fortitude, tenacity, and heroic sacrifice in the history of American arms. Treatment of Indians. "The condition of the Indians is quite satisfactory, and there has been no disturbance of Importance among them during the last twelve months. .This is accounted for principally by three reasons: First, just and huma.ne treatment of the Indians and the judicious management of their affairs; second, their gradual transition from a condition of barbarism to that of a semi-civilized people; and, third, the close proximity of the military garrisons, which are always available in case of threatened disturbance.”

COOKING VENISON IN MAINE.

Game Warden Declares There Is Only One Way to Do It Here Is the most savory way to prepare venison, according to Game Warden Walter I. Neal. He says: “The man who is going into the woods to shoot a deer and to cook and eat venison of his own killing should leave all his broiling and grilling utensils behind. There is only one way to cook venison In the woods or anywhere else. Heat a thick frying pan or an old style spider upon the coals until It is almost red. Cut off thick slices of the meat and throw them in the pan and keep them right up against the dry, hot surface until they are scorched on both sides. Then turn them out on the platter, cut the meat full of deep gashes, clear down through the crust and into or beyond the center, and fill the openings with butter, piling it on until the platter swims in gravy. After this add pepper and salt to suit the taste, and eat It before it is cold. Cooked and served in tills manner venison is the best meat that grows, and the man who does not like It either has trouble with his stomach or his conscience.— Lewiston (Me.) Journal.

Green County’s Sensation.

Catskill, N. Y., November 10th.—Ulster and Greene counties are ringing with the news of the wonderful recovery of George F. Ayers, who lives at 16 Division street, in tills city. One year ago Mr. Ayers was suffering from Bright’s Disease of the Kidneys, and the doctors gave him little relief and less hope. To-day Mr. Ayers is as well as man could wish. He tells the following story: “About a year ago I was at West Camp, sick with Bright’s Disease and without hope of ever being better, when an old gentleman from Bath, N. Y., advised me to take Dodd’s Kidney Pills, telling me they had cured him of the same disease. "I had tried so many remedies that I was past hoping and told him so, but when he bought me a box of Dodd’s Kidney Pills and coaxed me to try them I did so just to humor his whim. “That was the means of saving my life. I took that box and half a dozen more. Thanks to that old man and Dodd’s Kidney Pills, I am cured."

November Colds Should Not Be Allowed to Develop Into Chronic Catarrh. Pe-ru-na Cures a Cold Promptly and Permanently. “I am glad to recommend Peruna as it has done so much for me. I had been a great sufferer from catarrhal colds until I was urged to try Peruna, and I am bappy to say that it has entirely cured me. I shall never be without it and most cheerfully recommend it to others who are afflicted as I have been.”— Katherine Dauter, 239 13th St., Milwaukee, Wis. Most people think the success of Peruna depends upon the use of advertisements. Undoubtedly the advertisements help some. But by far the greatest number of people who hear of Peruna, have their attention called to it by a friend. Some one gets cured of chronic catarrh by Peruna. After he is certain of his cure, he is sure to recommend it to his friends. Friend recommends it to friend and the news spreads from tongue to tongue. AH the advertisements in the world could not make Peruna as popular as it is. Peruna cures. That is the reason people like it Peruna cures a very stubborn disease. That is why everyone recommends IL Peruna cures chronic catarrh after all other remedies fail which explains why

neighbor recom mends it to neighbor. Peruna cures K JI catarrh permanently, and this way . <1 has gaineda life-long friend. People who have been cured by Peruna many years ago wave been eager to recommend Peruna to their friends ever since. This is the way Peruna is advertised. It advertises itself. Its merits are its chief advertisement. Once cured of so distressing and exasperating a malady as catarrh, it becomes the duty of every one to pass It along; to call the attention of those who are still victims, to a remedy that rarely fails to cure. ______ Beware of Cheap Imitations of Pe-ru-na ... Be Bore That Ton Get Fo-ru-na. There are no substitutes for Peruna. Allow no one to persuade you that there is something just as good. The success of Peruna has tempted many people to devise cheap imitations. Beware of them. Be sure that you get Peruna. Miss Jennie Driscoll,B7o Putnam Av«., Brooklyn, N.

when I found myself with abadcaaeof catarrh of the head and throat Peruna waa the tint thing that 1 thought of. And my convictions were not wrong, for in a few weeks after using Peruna systematically I was entirely rid of thia ' aggravating and distressing disease, catarrh. “If people “knew how efficient Peruna was for this trouble they would not hesitate to try it. I have all the faith in the world in it, and have never known of a case where the person waa not cured in a short time. ” —Jennie Driscoll.
