Anderson, lh> Well-Known Railroad Man, Sho its Himself. Gen. Adna Anderson, of New York, committed suicide at the Lafayette Hotel, Philadelphia, by shooting himself. Gen. Anderson had been stopping at the hotel a lew days and had registered simply A. Anderson, New York.” No especial notice was taken of him, as his behavior was no different from that of the other guests. He was a quiet old gentleman. Ihe night watchman of the hotel was on the fourth floor just before midnight when he heard a pistol shot, the report coining from the toilet-room on that floor. Runring there he found Anderson on the floor unconscious and dying, with a bullet-hole in his right Umplp. Gen. Anderson was one of the best-known railroad men in this country. He was born July 25, 1827, and entered the rail .'fty service as a chain man on the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad twenty years later. Since that time he has been connected with nearly every road in the country in vaiious capacities, but chiefly as chief engineer and superintendent. At the outbreak of the civil war he was appointed Assistant Engineer and Chief of the Construction Corps of the Army of the Potomac and was subsequently made Chief Engineer and Superintendent of the Military Railways of the United States, In 18G6 he was chosen Second Vice President of the Northern Pacific Railway Company, remaining there until Jan. 1, 1888. Since that time he has been doing nothing, for a complication of ailments prevented his working. It is believed he was insane at the time of the act. AROUND THE DIAMOND.

Favorable Reports from Dakota and Minne-sota-Benefited by Rains. Favorable crop reports continue to arrive front the Northwest, and from present indications a good yield is assured. Every portion of the Northwest has been visited within the last week or ten days by heavy rains, and the long drought has keen effectually broken. Gentle rains have prevailed generally throughout central Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin. The weather has been much cooler since, which is veiy favorable for growing crops. Altogether the outlook is most encourag- , ing. • The Samoan Conference. The sub-committee of the Samoan | conference at Beilin has decided that the Municipal Council of Apia shill compiise six members—Germany, England and the United States each to appoint one, the other three to be elected by resi- 1 dents of Apia. This decision displeases the British Commissioners, who call it “the Phelps compromise.” Mr. Phelps, although not a member of the sub-eom-m ttee, was asked to attend its last meeting. ■ ■ • : Another Rahway Mystery. Early one morning a handsomely dressed beautiful young woman was found lying on the sidewalk in front of Captain , Isaac Bunn’s residence in Rahway, N. J. I Breath was just barely in the woman when ; discovered, and a few minutes Liter she , died. There was nothing found upon the body that would Je id to its identification. I The authorities believe that another foul crime has been perpetrated. A East Race. The race for the Brooklyn handicap, one ami one-fourth miles, was won by Exi’e, a 6 to 1 choice, in 2:074, Prince Royal being second, and Terra Cotta ■ third. The time is within half a second of the record. Seized 500 Kegs o f Ferr. FOUR car-loads of St. Louis beer, which had been side-tracked at Burlington, ! lowa, were seized by the Sheriff on a warrant sworn out by W. E. Blake, President of the Temperance Alliance. A Rear Adm ral Dead. Rear Admiral Edward Donaldson, U. S. N., aged 78, died at his home in Baltimore. His physicians said that old age and liver complaint were the causes. Work of Incendaries. Turner Hall, at Bridgeport, Conn., was destroyed by fire. The loss is placed at $30,000. Eli Cook, a colored man, has been arrested on the charge of firing the building. EASTERN OCCURRENCES. The Hon. Henry A. Foster died at his home in Rome, N. Y., in bis 90th year, r was the senior ex-United States Senator, having been appointed in 1814, one year before Simon Cameron, ofPennsyl- 1 vania. The mines of the Chartiers Block Coal Company, at Tom’s Run, Pa., were the scene of a terrific explosion of firedamp, resulting in the instant killing of four Hungarian miners and great damage to the mines. Five negroes a^id seven whites were whipped at Newcastle, Del., for breeny, highway robbery, and horse-stealing. 'Jhree of the whites, for burglary, were givi n forty lashes and one hour in the pil’ory each, and one of the negroes took twenty lashes and one hour iu the pillory for horse-stealing. About 150 persons v cro present. The mind-reader, Washington Irving Bishop, died in New York of hysterical | catalepsy. He was taken ill while preparing one of his tricks, requiring severe mental effort, and in a few hours breathed his last John R. Langtry, doing businesss at Boston under the style of Langtry A

, Smith, has assigned for the benefit of I creditors. The indebtedness will be less than SIOO,OOO. It is said that the assets are sufficient to pay a large dividend. I The concern did a business of about $250,000 a year in the manufacture of shoes. I The strike of the railroad coal miners of the Pittsburg district for a uniform yearly scale of 71 cents a ton has been settled by a conference of miners and operators. A compromise was made at 73 cents a ton. About seven thousand men go back to work. An English syndicate, through John P. Grant of New’ York, has consummated the purchase of five large Detroit breweries. They are those of Jacob Manus, Chris Endriss, Goebel & Michenfelder, and two others. The consideration was $700,000. I === WESTERN HAPPENINGS. Major J. W. AV ham. Paymaster of the army, with Cleik Gibbon and an escort of eleven soldiers, on their way from AVillcox, Ariz., to pay the post at Foit Thomas, were attacked bj’ a party of ambushed men in a gorge. A constant fire was kept up for nearly a half-hour, when eight of the escort were wounded, five dangerously. The robbers succeeded in securing $29,000, and escaped into the mountains. While fifteen or twenty men were at work in a new building in Tacoma, AV. T., being erected for a hotel by Walter Bates, a tremendous storm came up, striking the building with full force. The structure collapsed, burying the workmen in the ruins. Citizens amt laborers gathered around the wrecked building, and hundreds were soon at work endeavoring to rescue the imprisoned men. Ina few minutes sufficient debris hart been removed to get at some of the men, and the body of Walter Bates was first taken out. Th s was followed by two live workmen, and then a workman named McConnell, a new arrival from Kansas, was found dead. AV. H. Snell, City Attorney elect, was soon after taken out so seriously injured that he can not recover. Three other dead homes were recovered, but have not yet been identified. Besides the workmen who were injured, the Rev. AV. A. Mackey, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, who stopped to seek shelter from the rain, was severely hint. J. AV. Guest’s colt, Heron, while en route for Louisville, broke loose iu the car, and so injured himself, that it is believed he will never race again. Before leaving Nashville Guest was offered aad refused $12,50(1 for his colt. L. Cornwall, a jeweler at Sedalia, Col., was robbed of $35,000 worth of jewelry by a clerk named Strauss, who, in his employer's absence, packed up the goods and left town. Edward Hartshorn and Amos Turley were killed and four other men hurt by the explosion of a boiler at the saw-mill of Seward Davis, near Payne, Ohio. The lowa Supreme Court has rendered an opinion in the celebrated Billings case, appealed from Bremer County, in whi< h Myron E. Billings, a p:ominent attorney of Waverly, was accused of the murder of Willis S. Kingsley, County Attorney of Bremer County. The defendant was indicted for murder iu the first degree. Upon the trial of the indictment the defendant was convicted of murder in the second degree, and from a judgment on the verdict ho appealed. The decision 1 of the Supreme Court reverses the lower court’s decision, and Billings is granted a new trial. Wm. Smith, a Detroit wholesale grocer, and Peter Harts well, a portrait painter, have been enemies for a long time, and each has threatened the other, notwithstanding Hartswell was Smith's son-in-law. They met on the street the other day, and pistols were drawn by both and five shots were fired on each side, and both men were fatally wounded. At Plattsmouth Neb., while making an excavation, workmen undermined the walls of an old church, which collapsed, killing one man, fatally injuring another, ' and slightly injuring two others. SOUTHERN INCIDENTS. The Eureka detectives, acting principally under directions of the Norfolk and i Western Railroad Company, but as well in conjunction with the United States revenue authorities, have completed another raid upon the moonshiners of the extreme southern counties of McDowell and Wyoming, West Virginia, and capj lured fifteen additional prisoners as a result, raising the to*al number arrested on this charge io date to eighty-one. Among those lodged in jail at Charleston were bio women. They are a miserablelooking set of wretches. ACROSS THE OCEAN. — A writek from Ireland has written the Agricultural Department urging the raising of flax by American farmers in place of wheat. Ibero is every reason, he says, I why the American farmers should produce 1,000,000 acres of flax for both seed and fiber over and above what is now produced, which would give 12,000,000 to 15,000,000 bushels of seed, worth as many millions of dollars, and 2,500,000 tons of flax straw, worth $50,000,000, and from which 500,000 tons of flax fiber would , be obtained, worth $100,000,000. The entire militaiy garrison of Dussel--1 dorf, Germany, is now in the district disturbed by the miners’ strikes. The rioters I set fire to an oil factory at Lierenfield, causing the complete destruction of the works. The miners at Muelbern and Dnisberg have joined the strikers, and the strike is still spreading. Over one hundred and twenty-five thousand men are now out. The pit men at Schleswig attacked their foremen with daggers and drove them from the works. The military appeared, and the rioters took refuge behind a railroad embankment. The commander of the soldiers thrica demanded that the rioters disperse, and, upon their third refusal, ordered his men to fire. The order was obeyed and six persons were killed, including a child four years of age. One woman and several men were wounded. The lio'ers then dispersed. A conspiracy has been discovered among the military officers stationed in St. Petersburg. A large number of conspirators have been arrested. In their possession were found papers which proved that they intended to make an attempt to assassinate the Czar. A number of bombs were alsa found. FRESH AND NEWSY. Attorney General Miller h s received a report from United States Marshall Jones of Kansas in regard to the conduct of himself and deputies upon the opening of Oklahoma to settlement. He says: I believe that a few of my deputies have attempted to tile on land iu the Terrilory, but I know many of them have not. and while I in- j Btructed them not to do so, when they saw | themselves surrounded by from 500 to 7.1 J persons at Guthrie and at least half (hat number , at Oklahoma, waiting for the hour of 12 to come, I I do not wonder that some of them, deputies who were serving without pay and only there in I the interests of good order, took the fever and attempted to get a home. As to myself, I never attempted to homestead a foot of laud I either in Oklahoma or any other Teriitory or State. Marshal Jones says the country is absolutely quiet in Oklahoma and that there has not been a single j erson killed by violence in that Territory since April 22. It is understood that the Attorney General is not satisfied with the report, and that he will call for a supplemental report, giving the name of each officer who filed a

claim and a description of the land seemed by him, together with an account of the attending circumstances. Gen. Simon Cameron is able to sit up in bed and read. All immediate danger is believed to have passed. The General himself is inclined to make light of his । illness. The weather crop bulletin, of the Agricultural Department at Washington, says the season is twenty days in advance in the Northwest. The weather during the past week was favorable to improved crop conditions in Minnesota, Dakota, lowa, Nebraska, Kansas, northwest Missouri, and portions of northern Illinois. Some replanting in that section will be necessary, owing to the high winds, which uncovered and scattered seeds. The weather was favorable for corn planting throughout the corn bolt, Dakota reporting an unusually large acreage ami planting well advanced. The condition of the fruit crop is encouraging in all sections. The funeral of Lerdo de Tejada, exPresident of Mexico, was made the occasion of a great military pageant. A proclamation issued by students, pr using the deceased and censuring the government, was suppressed by the police. The con lition of trade for last week, as reviewed by R. G. Dun A Co., is as follows: It is the most prominent characteristic of the present situation throughout the country that the usual consistency of commercial u nion is lacking; transactions and results for some branches of business tare highly satisfactory, and for others much the reverse. The approaching transition front one crop year to another, the recent change of Administration, the changes in the, interstate law, and the rapid development of manufactures at the South are producing effects which cannot be fully measured. Iron production has begun to decline. Brices uro lower at Pittsburg, but there in a better feeling in finished bar iron there and at Philadelphia, and the demand for plate, pipe, sheet and structural iron continues sa' isfuctory. The coal market is still unsettled. The wool market goes lower while waiting for adequate now supplies. The future depends upon the state of the dry goods market, which is not now' encouraging. The cotton manufacture is active and healthy. The trade in drugs and chemicals has lieeomo quite active, with collections excellent, but dye stuffs are dull. A speculative movement in bread stuffs has developed again. Wheat has advanced Wy cents, corn cents, and oats iq cents.with au advance of 15 cents per 109 pounds in hogs and lard. Oil lias declined 3i # cents, and cotton a sixteenth. The grocery trade lias been active. In sugar the demand is confined to actual needs. In spite of some speculative advances the general average of prices for commoditl s is a little lower than it was Mav 2. The outlook in the Northwest is regarded much more confidently since the recent rains. Everywhere the crop prospect s are encouraging, with the season more advanced than usual and the acreage in wheat considerably increased. The business failures numbered 227, as compared with 214 for the previous week. THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. The Superintendent of the Census has made an estimate of the population of the country in 1890, in which he siys: It is probable that the eleventh census w ill show a population in this country not far short of 65.000,tfi)0, an increase of nearly 15.000,(XX) since 1880. 'lhe growth has been largely in the Western and Southwestern States. and in the population of our huge cities. Since the war broke out the population of the United States has more than doubled. Tile most cheering thing in connection with this tremendous growth of popu.ation is the fact that to alur^e extent n unufact tires, agriculture, and mining and the general development of the country have kept abreast <4 population Among the new Federal officials who have recently qualified and assumed the duties of their positions are United States Treasurer Huston, First Comptroller of the Treasury A. C. Matthews, Public Printer Frank Palmer, and Civil Service Commissioner Theodore Roosevelt. THE CHOSEN FEW. President Harrison Makes Known His Choice for Various Offices.

WILL BEAT OKLAHOMA. IROSPECTIVE RUSH FOR THE SIOUX RESERVATION LANDS. 1 A Fertile Territory in Southern Dakota and Northern Nebraska Likely to Be Thrown Open to Settlement by Purchase from the Indians. [AVashington (D. C.) special.] The instructions for the Sioux Commission, which have boon undor preparation for some weeks by the Indian Department, have boon given to the throe Commiadonors at the Interior Department. It will now bo strange if the ttroam of emigration started iu the direction of Oklahoma, only to be cheeked and thrown backward at tho discovery of tho limited quantity of the land available there, is not directed to tho Northwest by the opening of the great Sioux lleservation in Dakota. This reservation, which is exp eted to be opened in tho course of a month or two, comprises 9,300,000 acres of land. It is owned by the Sioux tribe. The land to be purchased lios in the, southern portion of Dakota and on tho northern boundary lino of Nebraska. Several ineffectual attempts have been inade in years gone by to negotiate with the Indians for this land. Lastyuar a coinmission was appointed to purchase tho lands, but tho Sioux chie s refused to accept tho price ofl'eiod—so cents per acre. Later in the season tho heads of .several of tho Sioux tribes wore called to AVashington to a] pear before the Secretary of the Interior and state to him on what just grounds they would be willing to dispenso with that part rd tneir lands which is unused by them. The chiefs demanded $1.25 per aero and tho immediate payment of tiio whole sum. 'They wore assured by Secretary Vilas that, they would be given propor consideration by the department a id legislation reeomluended which would be so conditioned as to prohibit tire taking of any o. their lands without their consent. 'lhe law by which tho consent of the Indians is to be obtained is almost exactly like that oi last year, except in these three particulars: 1. in distributing cattle, farming implements and money to Indians who wish alloimonts. tho eash payment is increasod from S2O to ss4> each. 2. Tho price paid for land settled in tho old bill was 50 cents per acre; in this it is $1 for thatti.ken the first three yea’s, 75 cents for that taken the next three y a:s. and 50 cents for all that taken thorealter. with th" proviso that tne Government shall buy a l that remains alter ten years. 3. 'J he immediate approp:iation to create a fund for tho benefit of Indians, to be repaid out of proceeds of sales of land, is in 'reused from SIJXMI.OO » to $3,(X)0,000. 'lhe sections numbered Hi and 36 of each township of the lands open to settlement, whether surveyoil or unsurveyed. are to bo reserved for tho use and benefit of the public schools, a; provided by tho act organizing the Territory of Dakota. Tuo law provided an appropriation of J2S.IKH). which sum shall bo expended under the direction of the Secretary of tho hit )- rior for procuring the assent of the Sioux Indians. 'The commission to procure this assent is composed of Gen. Crook. William Werner, and Charles Foster. Tho instructions to the commission differ little from the last, except mat they are less in detail and In .re more to the discretion of the commission. Th" plan of the Seeretnry him I een to seek good men for Commissioners, and then leave them to work as much as possible in their own way. The department, is qu te confident of the success es the inten led negotiat'ons. and that eonlldenco is general y shared by Northwestern uii'ii here. Tho Indians have already indicated their intention to accede to the p - o\isions of the bill, and will probably nnhositatingly give their consent and allow the land to bo op med to ; ettlmnent. civilization, and pi osperity. Them is no free land in the Sioux Roservation an I it will have no at'raction for tho imp evident boomers who want to g-t a j fa: in for nothing. But lor the thrifty s ittlerwitha little capital it offers th • most ] promising location now open at Government. 1 price in the whole public domain. If tho negotiations with the Sioux are as successful as they are almost vortnin to be this legion will be open to settlement nearly as si on as the Cherokee Strip and us early "s many of the those disappointed in Oklahoma enn conveniently reach there. It is ue. eesdble fiom Nebraska on tho south as well as from Minnesota on the east without, cressing the Indian country or encountering any of the complicated delays and embarrassments incident to emigration to Oki ihoma. Almost before the sottlsment of the reservation is to begin it will eome under the jurisdiction of the new state Government ot South Dakota and oni y all the advantages of social order and material well being such a Government is competent to guarantee. DEATU OF GEN. HARNEY. The Oldest Officer on the Retired List Expire - nt Orlando, I la. Gen. AVilllum Selby Harney, tho ol lest officer on the retired list of tho army, died at Orlando, Ela., tho other day. Gon. Harney was born in Tennessee, .^ug. 22, 1800. Uis lather was an intimate friend of Gen. Jackson, and young Harney early evinced u military taste. Ho was appointed a Lieutenant in 1818 by President Monroe, and bls first active service was against tho celebrated pirate Lafitte. In 18.3 ho went to Missouri to quell Indian outbreaks, and was stationed near SI. Lou sfor some time. While at Council Bluffs, in 1825, he was promoted to a Captaincy. Captain Harney’ was conspicuous!] in the Black. Hawk war. and later went to St. Louis and man led Ma y Mullanphy, an heiress. His three children are John M. Harney, I liza Harney (Countess Do None), and Anna Barney (Countess Do Thury.) (’apt. Harney fought in tho Seminole War and was made a Colonel. AVhen the Mexican war broke out ho commanded the Texas frontier. For disobeying orders of Geu. Scott he was com tinartiated, suspended for six months, and reprimanded. The sentence was not carried out. and from that time on his career was brilliant. Ho yvas a Brigadier General in 1847. and was stationed in Texas. AVhen tho war broko out ho was appointed Commander of tho Department of tho AVest, with headquarters in St. Louis. He was promoted to Major Genoral in 1863, when ho retired. He accumulate 1 a great fortune ami star!led his friends two years ago by marrying his housekeeper. The family opposed the marriage, but tho Genital had his way. contesteiTcases. A Long List of Disputed Election Cases. Mr. Mobley, clerk of tho National House Committee on Elections, is arranging, print ng and dockoti-.g th i papers received in contested election eases. There are sixteen eases on ill*, as follows: Indiana— Posey vs. Pratt. Ist District. Connecticut —^oymour vs. Mile-, 4th. Maryland—Mudd vs. Compton. sth. A’irgini I—AVaddill1 —AVaddill vs. AVise. 3d: Langston vs. Venable, 4th; Bowan vs. Buchan, 9th. Mississippi—Cluilmers vs. Morgan.' 2d; Hill vs. Catehin ;s. 3d; Kernaghan vs. Hooker. sth.

Arkansas-Featherstone vs. Gates. Ist. Florida — Goodrich vs. Bullock. 2d. The papers in tho vaiious cases are very bulky, and it is estimated that those in tho Waddill-Wise ease will make a volume of 1,(X)O printed pages. No papers have been received in the ( Tayton-Breckinrid 10 ease, and nothing is known as to tho probable course o' tho committee in the matter. AVest Virginia will undoubtedly lurnish additional eases, but no papers have be< • received. UNITED ÜBETIIKKX CHURCH. The Quadrennial Report Shows a Gratifying Increase in Membership.

That Offer of $5,000. I Our readers will doubtless call to mind tho offer so widely advertised for the past ten years by H. 11.

H. H. Warner & Co.’s pamphlet. Ad An Offer of $5,009.03. Every Testimonial published by us is Bona Fide, and, so far as me knoir, is absolutely true. To any one who will prove the contrary to an impartial referee ire will give $5,000.00. //. B. B A llA'Elt & CO. Kochester, N. Y., January 2. 1888. AVe ask the reader’s careful attention to the following testimonials, as bearing on tho offer, and thoir unbiased opinion o 4 tho same with reference to the $5,000. lowa City, la., Juno 30. 1888.—Some weeks since my daughter had a severe attack of Rheumatism. Sho was persuaded to take one bottle of AVarner’s bafo Cure, and ono of AVarner’s Safe Rheumatic Cure, and lias entirely recovered. We think it wonderful, as twice before she had been confined to her bed for months with it.— Mrs. Sylvanus Johnson. Camp Verde, Arizona, Oct. 27. 1888.— For nearly a year I suffered from Gravel, and was under tho treatment of a doctor. I took a great deal of medicine, but it all seemed to fail. I then began with AVarner’s Safe Cure, and after using one bottle of it began to got bettor: got another bottle, and took half of it. Tho gravel stone loft me, and I began to mend. I am now feeling as well us I over did in my life.—Mus. Dolly Mason. 231 Myrtle Ave., Buffalo. N. Y., Nov., 1888.—In 1866 I was attacked with kidnoy disease, and suffered for twenty years, applying often for advice to medical monos high standing, without any apparent relief. In 1886 I was advised to try AVarner’s Safe Cure, and alter having used fifteen bottles of it I was completely cured, and am happy to state that 1 have never folt tho disease since in any form.—P. B. McMullen. Newark. N. Y., June 20, 1888. Last winter I was attacked with severe kidney difficulty, which incapacitated me for work, severe pains in tho small of the back, attended with almost constant aching on the least exertion. I suffered much pain, tho passage of water was a severe trial, accompanied with much scalding and redness of tho urine. I felt I was suffering from premonitory symptoms of Bright’s Disease. I procured a bottle ot AVarner’s Sato Cure, and alter taking the first botilo I felt so much improved that I continued to take it to tho extent of four bottles. I am now a nexv man, able to do a good hard day’s work, with no recurrence of any trouble with tho kidneys.—Mandeville AV. Pi,ass. There is no getting away from such testimony os tho above. Tho offer is genuine. In fu’t Messrs. H. H. AVarnor & Co. have always requested that doubters should write direct to persons giving testimonials (inclosing stamp), and who are of necessity, tn tho great majority of oases, totally unacqmdnted with the firm. — The Pope and the Farmer. The following is from the Cork E.v---1 amhier. How true it is we leave onr 1 readers to decide: A eertain Indiana ; Baptist farmer, who was much prejti ! diced against the present Pope, met j him, and these two honest num looki ing at each other liked each othvr. “If i you should preach I’d go to hear you.” The next day the daughter of the In- , dianian wanted to see his Holiness, i but could not, as women are only ad- ’ mitted on certain days and in a cerj tain dress black, wit It a black veil. Well.” said the farmer, “if the Pope I only knew it was my daughter Jane he\l see her." AVhen Mgr. Preston | told the Holy Father, “Well," said he, “my laws are not like Medes and I’er1 siaus, so i’ll see Jane," and he did. 1 What was the wonder of the Swiss guard and of the gorgeous ehamber- ! lains when tin l Indiana princess vio--1 lated all the precedents simply bei cause of the sympathy of two honest | men. SccmiHg'y Eradicated With repeated and powerful doses of quinine, chills and foyer, iu someoneof its various forms, springs into active existence again, often without the slightest apparent provocation. To extinguish tho smouldering embosts of this obstinate ami recondite malady, no less than to subdue it when it rages fiercely in tho system, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is all sufficient. AVhen every resource of the pharmacopoeia has been exhausted against it in vain, the Bitters conquer it will remove every lingering vestige of it. Nay, more, the Bitters will protect those brought within tho influence of the atmospheric poison that begets malarial disease, from its attacks. Disorders of tho stomach, lixer and bowels, are among tho complaints to be apprehended from the use of miasma-tainted water. These are l>oth cured and prevented by the Bitters. Rheumatism, constipation and renal complaints yield to its action. The Significance. “How is business?” was the cheerful inquiry made by one traveling man of another. “ First rate. How is it with you ?” “Oh, 1 don’t find fault.” “That sounds well, anyhow. It means, I suppose, that you are doing well.” “No, it means, simply, that I am good natured.” — Merchant Traveler. A boy living near Abilene, Texas, was bitten by a snake, and was soon taken with convulsions. An-old Mexican scraped out the bowl of a briar pipe, applied the scrapings to the child’s wound, and the next day the boy xvas well. A Michigan lumberman has adopted the use of pine roots as fuel for his hobby. He has the roots cut up into 18ineh lengths, and uses them in grates instead of soft coal, to which, he declares, they are superior.

I need $5 more, though, and I’ll pay it at the same time. That will make $lO I owe you.” (Reluctantly handing out $5 and rnwardly kicking himself) —“I can let you have it, of course, but you musn’t fail to pay it back next week. 1 have a good many accounts outstanding, and I’m a little hard run.” “That’s all on account of tho way you do business.” (Pocketing the money) —“The trouble with you, Shadbolt, is that you’re such an infernally poof collector. ” — Ch icago Tri Ini ne. THE WORST WRECK, PHYSICALLY Os »ny Man This Country E vet-Saw, Cured. Jackson. Mich.. October, 1885. Ilheumatic Syrup Co. Gentlemen: In November. 1884. I was cut in the wrist by a broken bottle, from xvhieh I suffered extreme pain. I called a doctor who pronounced it sciatic rheumatism. Ho gave me a morphine injection in my right shoulder, which resulted in paralyzing my right side. I was kept under the influence of morphine until last March. My right leg and arm had become badly withered and my joints were so stiff that there was but little action in them. About that time I discontinued the uso of morphine. About six weeks ago I first heard of your Rheumatic Sy. up and was advised to try it. And here let mo impress this fact upon your mind, that my right arm and leg xvere shrunken, paralyzed. and withered so much that I could hardly walk or swing along, and that but little, and attended With great effort and pain. Since I have been taking your Syrup 1 have left off tho use of crutches entirely, and only uso a cano, and for the past few days 1 oiton forget it and walk without any aid. To say that I am happy, and that it has greatly benefited me. but poorly expresses mv idea of vour Ilheumatie syrup. Yours truly. ' C. D. Denio.
