’ AND STILL THEY CO ME FROM COLES COUNTY, ILLINOIS. Mattoon's Rate Inspector Speak*. From the Commercial, Mattoon. 111. Mr. At J. Cooms is the “Rate Insnectoi residing in Mattoon, 111., and though diu a young man of 33, his life for the past two years has not been by any means a bed of roses. disability with which he was afmeted was a complication of disease of stomach and indigestion. Medical skill «?ould not help him and the outlook seemed dark tor him until Providence threw in Ins jiath the means of relief. It will be better to give his own story as he told it to a reporter: “Very nearly throe years ago I was ♦akenwitha bilious attack and a bad cold, and tins I think was the beginning of my , trouble. My stomach went back on me al- . together, and was a source of constant X trouble. My digestion was altogether impaired, and the doctors could not help me, and in this wretched condition I remained until nearly one year ago. At that time Mr. Geo. Coen, a conductor on the St. Louis division of the ‘Big Four,’ recomihended me to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for 1 ale People. I _did so, and before I had taken half a box knew that they were curing me. I only took two boxes in all, and then was well. I always keep the pills by me and always shall do so. I recommend them to every one I hear complaining of stomach difficulty? and I believe many have been benefited. (Signed) “W. J, COOMS.” Witness: W.

Would Make It Convenient. A young soubrette rushed to her dentist the other day in agony. One of her wisdom teeth was ulcerated. The dentist, who, by the way, had supplied her with the most dazzling of her front teeth, told her that there was nothing for it but to pull the tooth. “Very well, Doctor,” remarked the actress, with a sigh, as she removed the plate; “I suppose I'd better take,out my orchestra chairs so that you can get at my back rows.” A woman is capable of sublime sacrifice of self in great matters, and of SU- » pre me selfishness in little ones. “SHE DRESSES WELL” BUT HER CLOTHES OFTEN COVER A LIVING DEATH. Beauty Is the Shrine of Men's Worship, and Women Vie With Each Other to Make Themselves Attractive. The remark, “Sho dresses elegantly,” Is a very common one in this age of wealth andprogress. Women vie with each other in mak-

ing themselves attractive, for men y admire a stylishly dressed woman. n Good clothes add | to the charms of t-’ie woman in perSjk feet health, but ■ are ill-befitting these who through ignorance or carelessness have suffered the inroads of female diseases to stamp them I X as physical \ wrecks.

cause man can cmy work from theory, and at best only pitch up, without removing the cause. Proof is abundant that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound removes the- cause, giv^s strength to the weakened organs, vigorous health to the system, and therefore beauty to the face and form. Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., gladly answers, free of charge all letters. Here is one of the results : “ Three months ago, I wrote you a letter describing my troubles, which were inflammation of the womb and bladder. I had not seen a well day since the birth of my second child, 16 years ago. I had spent hundreds of dollars for doctors and medicines. “ Such pains as I endured. My back ached, my feet and limbs were swollen, and it was almost impossible for me to stand ; I could not walk arty distance. I received your answer to my letter, and followed closely all your advice, and I have been using Lydia E. Pinkham's Compound for three months. Now I can work all day without pain. I have recommended the Compound to many of my friends, and gladly recommend it to all women in any way afflicted with female troubles.” —Lydia Batie, 227 Spring St., Greensburg, Pa. nPIIrtfI^DRUNKE)^

DOES AWAY WITH WAR. The Arbitration Treaty Between Uncle Sam and Queen Vic. The second week of the new year has gone down as one of the most eventful In the history of the United States, signalizing the greatest stride of the century in the direction of the progress of civilization. By the treaty of arbitration to which Secretary of State Richard Olney and Sir Julian Pauncefote, ambassador i of Great Britain and Ireland to the Unit- j ed States, placed their signatures, war- | fare between this country and the king- I dom over which Queen Victoria holds sway is made virtually impossible. An event of so happy a nature should be ■ made the occasion of public rejoicing throughout the land and in Great Britain. While this treaty has nothing to do with the settlement of the boundary dis- f pute between Great Britain and Venezuela, it is really a result of the conferences which were held by the members of the commission which was appointed by President Cleveland in that connection, with prominent members of the British Gov- : ernment. It is in a measure experimental. It is the first treaty of the kind which has ever been made between this country and any other and in fact is the first of ; the kind in the history of the world. The manner in which it will work will be watched with the greatest interest by the civilized world. Its importance in the line of progress cannot be overestimated. The treaty, winvi» i. n,■ n t, wn Ove years, provides for the arbitration of nil । questions in difference between the two ( contracting parties which have failed of solution by diplomatic negotiation. All claims of a pecuniary nature amounting ' to less than £IOO,OOO ($500,000) and which do not involve the determination of j territorial claims are to lie submitted to an arbitration commission of three mem- I bers, one of them appointed by eat I ‘be ! parties to the treaty and the third to be elected by the two thus appointed, or. if they cannot agree, in a manner provided. The award of a majority of such commis > sion shall be final. All pecuniary claims which shall ex- ; ceed £IOO,OOO ($500,000) and all other | matters in difference in respect to which either of the high contracting parties shall '

have rights against the other, provided i that such matters do not involve territorial claims, shall be dealt with and de- ; cided by a commission of five members. ! two of whom shall be appointed by each of i the high contracting parties and the fifth I in the same manner as in the commission i , first mentioned. ■ A controversy which shall involve the ; determination of the territorial claims : shall be submitted to a tribunal consisting of six members, three of whom shall be judges of the Supreme Court of the * United States or judges of the Circuit Courts, to be named by the President of the United States, and three of them , judges of the British Supreme Court of Adjudicature, or members of the Judicial ' Committee of the Privy Council, to bo nominated by the Queen. It is provided , in this connection that in case the ques- i tion involves the territorial rights or boundary of one of the States of the United States or one of the provinces of Great Britain, a judicial official of said State or province may be substituted for n one of the judges. The award of such | a commission by a vote of not less than a five to one shall be final- In case of an ,

award made by less than the prescribed majority, the award shall also be final unless either power, within three months after the award has been reported, protest that the same is erroneous, in which case the award shall be of no validity. In such a case, or when the members shall lie equally divided, there shall be no re- ’ course to hostile measures of any description until the mediation of one or more friendly powers has been invited by one or ! both of the high contracting parties. Territorial claims include all other ' claims involving questions of servitude, rights of navigation and access, fisheries, i and all rights and interests necessary to the control and enjoyment of the territory claimed by either of the parties of the ; treaty. If in any case the nominated bodies designated to ileeide upon questions which do not involve territorial disputes shall fail to agree upon any umpire as provided in the treaty the umpire s! i I bo appointed by the King of Norway' r.ml Sweden. Either of the high contracting parties, however, may give notice to the other that, by reason of material changes in constitutions ns existing nt the date of the treaty it is of tlie opinion that a substitute for his majesty shall be chosen. The high contracting parties shall at om e proceed to nominate a substitute for tlie King of Sweden ami Norway; and the same shall bold good in the event that he nt any time desires that a substitute shall l>o appointed. In the ease of the death, absence or im . pacify to serve of any ntI bitrator or urapoe on- thov arbitrator or i umpire shall immedialvly be appouiteu in j his place in the manner provided for the । original appointment. THEY CALL IT A MURDER. — Indiana Farmers in a Frenzy Gver Brutal Acts of Gamekeepers. Lake County Indiana, has been greatly ' stirred by the shooting of four farmers by tlie gamekeepers of the Tollcston Gun Club. In Hammond. Whiting, Tollcston and Crown Point the farmers gathered. ' and threats were not only freely made ; against the men who were concerned in tlie shooting, but against the property of the gun club as well. Threats of organ- ■ izing to "clean out" the gamekeepers, sack

I the property and blow up the-ga.pl of the gun club were not infreijueg^^^mi^M point the farmers were agreed, and tlmt" I was that if there was to be any moiT I shooting about the gun club's grounds I they would not be the only ones who were i carried from the battlefield to the hos- ; pitals. Poaching on the club grounds had given । its caret alters much trouble of late, and seven gamekeepers, well armed with shot- ; guns and pistols, were on duty when the fourteen young men, members of the families of neighboring farmers, invaded a duck swamp and prepared for a day’s sport. The watchmen bore down on the I boys in a body, and hailing them from a considerable distance, ordered them off the club's grounds. When the poachers did not comply the gamekeepers opened fire at three rods’ range and five young men fell to the marsh ice, riddled with shot, two mortally wounded. The sheriff arrested Barney Whitlock, the Blackburn brothers and Alfred Taylor and lodged them in jail. You miserable devil, where did you ■ get the notion that you are smart?

A LAWYER TESTIFIES HOOD’S SARSAPARILLA PURIFIES AND ENRICHES THE BLOOD. Always Accomplishes the Results for Which It Is Intended. A lawyer certainly understands the value of testimony in establishing a fact. The letters written by those who have been cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla have over and over again “proved the case” for this great medicine. This testimony has shown so many times that Hoods Sarsaparilla cures when all other medicines fail, that Hood’s Sarsaparilla is entitled to the verdict, “The One True Blood Purifier.” P. M. Buchanan, Esq., Rochester, Ind., has been In the practice of law since 1883, and is well known at the Fulton County bar. He says: “We have taken several bottles of Hood’s Sarsaparilla in our family during the past year and have been very much pleased with Its results. I have taken It as a blood purifier and my wife has used It for the same purpose. Whenever we ffeel badly we resort to Hood’s Sarsaparilla and it always seems to accomplish Rhe result for which it is intended. ®v wife was feeling very badly ana That Tired Feeling;* and shcJp^ Hood’s Sarsaparilla with benefit. ®Then we take Hood’s Sarsaparilla th<^ impurities of the blood are often fotved through the skin by eruptions, but by continuing the use of Hood’s Sarsaparilla the blood becomes purified and the skin returns to its normal condition. Hood's Sarsaparilla always seems to cleanse the blood and we hold It In very high esteem as a blood purifier.” P. M. Buchanan, Esq., Rochester, Ind. “He was a very quiet and good little boy” at school, was Joe Chamberlain, according to the story of bis schoolmate, Mellor, Q.
