SWANSON RHEUMATIC CURE COMPANY: I would like to thank you for tout great remedy, ''5 DROPS", and tell yon what it has done for me. I had Rheuma tism in every joint and in the heart, and I had Catarrh of the Head for 30 years. I was so poorly that I lost the use of my legs and arms, and could not more without pain. I was so crippled that I had done bnt little work for seven long years, and our family physician, a good doctor, told me that my Rheumatism nd Catarrh were incurable, and I believed him. Bat how, alter matrng "5 Drops only two months, lean truly cay I have not felt so well for seven jemru. This medicine does more than is claimed for it At this time my Catarrh is much better and I hare scarcely any Rheumatism at all, and the heart weakness and pais are cone. My hearing Is now good and my eyesight is much better. I have gained more than 10 pounds of flesh and can do a full day's work. It is the best medicine I ever saw to give a mother who has a young child, for it has the same effect on the child as on the mother. It wards off Croup and cures the Hives of the child and causes sweet and refreshing sleep to both young and old. WM. M. EELLEM3. SIX TESTIFY TO ITS TRUTH. In alerter of Oct 10. 1896, from Mr. Kellems, he says: "I .feel it a duty that .1 owe to God and suffering humanity to announce to you and all the world that! am yet ant!-: with untold thousands of others, to testify to the great merits of your valu ab!o remedy called 3 DROPS." I believe I was the first 6ufferer in this part of the earth to learn of the existence of "5 DROPS," some three years ago. I was then badly afflicted with Rheumatism, Catarrh, etc., which my letter of Jan. 29, 1S9G, fully speaks of. All I can say is "5 DROPS" cured iae. To make a long story short, '5 DROPS" needs no recommendation in this part of the country, as everybody knows the "5 DROPS" remedies around here. It has cared, more cases of Rhematism, Sciatica, Neuralgia, nnd meny other pains than any other medicine that has ever been sold or ' hoard of. For the last three years I have noticed the effect "5 DROPS" has on the sick, through my own observations as well as my brother, who is a practicing physi cian and uses tho "5 Drops" in his practice. All ye that wish for farther informa tion, write and yon are sure to get a reply withoat any delay. I will (as I have dono iu this letter) cheerfully recommend it to anyone that I may come in contact with. I mpself can never forget what this remedy has done for me and many others. Yours very truly, WM. M. KELLEMS, Siberia, Ind. Witnesses to the above: Jas. Brady, J. R. Cox, E. B. Huff, S. Taylor, Dr. 8. W elkms, Jno. Hays, all of Siberia, lad.

Fas Hall to Seattle. The widespread public interest In the contest for the fast mall contract between Chicago and Omaha has rauFPd nn temnorarilv to overlook the similar achievement of the Great Northern railway in establishing quick mall communication from New York, via Chicago and St, Paul, to Seattle, and thence to the Orient. The fast Pacific mall service by way of St. Paul to the Puget Sound country is now quite as remarkable as that via Omaha to San Francisco. On January 3 the Great Northern placed In serv ice a fast through mail and passen ger train from Chicago to Seattle, on which the mail pouches never once leave the car after the transfer at St Paul. From New York to Seattle the time by this Northern route is Just four days. East of St Paul the malls are carried on several roads, but west of that city on a run exceeding the eastern portion by 500 miles the mail goes through without change across five great States on the tracks of the Great Northern. Forty-five minutes are consumed In transferring tho mails in Chicago, and thirty min utes in St Paul. After that tho Northern Oriental flyer does the rest without a pause until the Asiatic malls go on board the steamers of tho Japan Mall Steamship Company. Both tho Importance of Seattle as an Oriental shipping point and the speed of the Great Northern transconti nental mall service make tho achieve ment a noteworthy feature of Amer ican railway progress. The Puget Sound cities have al ready becomo formidable rivals of San Francisco as regards the freight and passenger traffic for Japan, China and Asiatic ports. The steamer route from Seattle to the Orient seems to bo more free from storms than that from San Francisco, and as a large proportion of tho Oriental exports are products of the Northwest the freight traffic has naturally taken this course. The fact that the full capacity of the Japan Mail Steamship Company's beats Is engaged as far ahead as next August is in itself a striking proof of the growing importance of the Oriental trade that ba3 its outlet at Seattle.

One of the largest bridge contracts tbst has been award ed In many years has been let by the receivers of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. In order to place the lines west of the Ohio river in proper shape to handle the heavy freight equipment that Is being used east of the river the receivers found it necessary to re build 51 bridges between Benwood, W. Va., and Chicago. That the structures might be rapidly pushed to comple tion it was decided to divide the work among three companies. The Youngs town Bridge Company of Youngstown will erect 31 bridges on the Central Ohio division between the Ohio river and Newark, Ohio; the Pencoyd Bridge Works was awarded the 11 bridges on the Lake Erie division, Newark to Sandusky, and the Edge Moor Bridge Company of Wilmington, Del., will erect the 9 bridges needed on the Chi cago division. The total cost of these bridges is in the neighborhood of $300, 000 and It Is expected that all will be in place by September. Nearly six thousand tons of steel will be needed for the structures.

Fifteen years seems a long time to wait for a bride, and yet, were it not for the late Hispano-American war, Carroll Hume, of Company L, of the Rough Riders, who was wedded to Miss Mabel White In Wichita, Kan., a short time since, would still, in all probability, be waiting to claim his promised brido, writes a correspondent of the Philadelphia Times. They were married at the residence cf tho bride's father, and that event marked the final chapter of a story stranger than fic ton, which required fifteen years to consummate fifteen years cf ro mance, bravery, constancy, crime and tragedy before two loving and faithful hearts were made one. In 1882 Mabel White was a charm ing little lass of 15, with skirts ankle high and a heart full of love, hope and happiness. Hume was 20 years cf age, a sixteenth part Cherokee, and his father was a member of the Cher okee legislature. This mattered noth ing to the little maid. Hi3 skin was as white, ciear and smooth as her own and he loved her with all. the flush of a first passion and she worshiped an. trusted him. Her father was a clergyman who had spent many years among the Cherokees, teaching them of "the peace that passelh understanding" and lnstrumentally aiding them in the at tainment of the high standard of civ ilization which this tribe has today reached. Among other thing3 he taught her that it was not always the race that makes the man, and in this she had a perfect exemplification in her handsome, straightforward and upright Indian lover. They would wander off among the trees and flow ers in her father's grounds and plan as all young lovers do, of a happy fu ture. Life seemed so sweet, so dear to them, the sky so bright and the air eo pure. Then of a sudden all was changed. In an evil hour Hume succumbed to the one curse of the Indian's existence liquor. There is that in the blood of the Indian which boils and bursts from control under the influence cf fire water. A Cherokee plus a quart of whisky is a human fiend. One night Carroll Hume was invited while under the delicious influence of love's intoxication to drink to the fu ture health of his future bride, and be fore the evening had passed he had imbibed a score of toasts. Then trou ble began to brew. The natural sus picion of his Indian nature was arous ed and a quarrel ensued with Harry Ford, a fellow-tribesman, whom Hume accused of being too attentive to Miss Mabel. There were a few angry, pas sionate words, a quick exchange of blows, a pauso and an agreement to go out in the open'and "fight it out like men." In the moonlight they silently pass ed from view, and after measuring off the agreed distance two shots were heard following almost instantaneous ly. Hume was unscratched, but Ford lay still and cold on the damp ground, with a bullet hole through his heart. The shock sobered Carroll Hume, and, with a realizing cense of what he had done, his first impulse was to sur render himself to the authorities; but with a realizing sense of the severity of the Cherokee laws, he determined that flight was his only recourse. He had killed a man in a fair and square fight, but justice would not look at it in that light. Before leaving the coun try he slipped to the parsonage, and, sounding a soft signal whistle, told his little sweetheart the whole story of the duel and begged her forgive ness. Amid tears, she instantly gave it, and after plighting eternal vows, he slunk away, with the mark of Cain on his brow, an outcast on the face of the earth. His little sweetheart was heartbroken, fcr he had passed com pletely out of her life, and for fifteen years she heard nothing of him. She was sent away to school and returned a matured, cultivated woman of beau ty and grace. Of Hume nothing had been heard since the night of hi3 flight, but Mabel's heart remained true "and trusting, and many were the dis appointed suitors who claimed her hand, only to be kindly and courteous ly rejected. After many years of traveling in one guise or another through most of the civilized world, Hume,' with a heavy heart and a conscience that would not down, determined to come back and surrender himself, if only to obtain a glimpse of his cherished youthful idol. He was debating this weighty question in Mexico when the war with Spain was declared, and with the first call for volunteers his wav ering resolution was formed, and he .hastened back to enlist and fight for the honor of the nation. To himself he said: "Here is the chance for honorable expiation. No one will remember me now. Besides. I am so changed I can go to the ter ritory and enlist there, and maybe hear something about Mabel." A short time afterwards he was at Muskogee, an enlisted man. A week j later he was made a lieutenant in , Troop L. While the regiment was still recruiting at Muskogee, Hume, walking down the street one day, came face to face with the woman he loved. She had changed greatly, and he was heavily bearded, but recognition was mutual. Unfortunately she was not alone and feared to imperil him by a public recognition; so with mute greetings they went their separata ways. The next morning his troop left for the front, and without a word being interchanged they were parted again. He went through tho Cuban campaign, fought desperately and was severely wounded and carried in a de lirious condition to the hospital, where his life for a time was despaired of. At last he regained consciousness to find his left arm gone and a pair of soft, velvety hands working over the bandages covering a multitude of heal ing wounds and bruises and a tender voice cautioning him against" excite ment. The shock, however, was too much for him and he fainted. The voice and hands belonged to his long lost and much desired sweetheart, Ma bel White. Immediately after meeting him In Muskogee she had taken the train to Tampa and offered herself as a volun teer Red Cross nurse. She had fol lowed him almost to the field of battle and when he was wounded and toss ing in delirium had begged the privil ege of assisting In caring for him. His recovery from that moment was rap id, and this enabled him to ride again with the Rough Riders. When these desperate fighters were mustered out of the service he went back home, was quietly married to the girl of his heart and prepared to face the impending trial for manslaughter. While he will have to stand trial for the duel of fifteen years ago, the wit nesses are now dead, and as the story of his and Mabel's heroism is so well known the general feeling i3 strongly in his favor, and it is not difficult to predict that a mild verdict will be given. Ate Dcrlng thai Naval Fight. Kansas City Star: It seems tuat Ad miral Schley and Capt. Cook sat down to dinner while the Brooklyn was chasing the unfortunate but gallant Colon. There's American assurance for you. At the close of a tremen dously important battle, which settled a war and changed the map of the world, the commanders on the United States flagship, pursuing at top speed the last of the enemy, whose guns still belched defiance, sat down to din ner, which, no doubt, was served in style and with a strict regard for gas tronomical etiquette. , "I will have a bit of the tomato soup," remarked the admiral. "Ah, that must have been a five and one half inch shc-U, eh, captain?" "Sounds like it pass me the celery," replies Capt. Cook.

Up to a few days ago the Camerou Highlanders had the peculiar distinc tion of being the only regiment in the British army made up of one battalion. The new Second battalion was ac knowledged formally by the Queen by a recent presentation of colors. A Sec ond battalion existed in the early part of this century, but saw no war duty. The Camerons, raised originally by Alan Cameron 105 years ago, have fought in every important British cam paign, from that in Holland in 1799 down to Atbara and Khartoum. The "Queen's Own" won many honors at the front, always with its single bat talion. The two battalions which constitute the Gordon Highlanders, formerly two regiments, never had occasion to meet as a complete regiment until last month, when they came together at Deolaii, Bombay. The Second battal ion, which was the old Ninety-second Highlanders, arrived at Deolaii on Sat urday, October 1, on its way to Urn balla. The First battalion, formerly the Seventy-fifth Highlanders, home ward bound, reached the camp there on the following Monday morning. One battalion 'saluted the other for the first time. A Sad Return Home. Last week a man in a smutty blue uniform, and seemingly in very ill health, arrived at Diilsboro, Ind., on a train from the east. Unlike most returning heroes, he did not stop to discuss with the group, which is usu aliy found at a railroad station, but made his way directly to the Milton omnibus. When en the road to Mil ion, he asked the only other passen ger of the 'bus for Information con cerning a family by the name of Mr. and Mrs. Bradley, stating that he was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Brad ley. He was informed that both were dead. Young Bradley was looking forward to a welcome by' his parents, and was almost pros trated at the news of their death. He was a member of the Fifth regulars in the battle of San Juan hill, and was wounded by a treacherous Cubaa, for which offense the Cuban was put to death. He had been away for twelve years. "Death Mask" Blakers. There are at least two men in Lou don who hold something like an ar tistic monopoly in the taking of death masks casts in plaster or wax from - -- - a. .- .uiyuiiaUi,C, I and one of these has over one hundred J such casts, all relating to celebrities ! alone. The usual fee for performing this gruesome duty is twenty guineas, and the artist usually retains the original cast, or sells it to one of half a dozen morbid persons who glvo goodly sums for additions to their col lections of "death masks." The public would be surprised to know what a great number of these casts are now adays taken amongst the wealthy and notable, for, of course, they are of some importance, and use afterwards to sculptors and painters who may have commissions to represent the dead persons. The biggest English private collection of death masks, in cluding those of criminals, is that of a Bristol ship owner. Practical Illustration.

Yen stay with the twins until I re turn." .-- -v.-- Saceessfal Suoep Raising. A writer in Rural World says: Our sheep have run on the same pastures" for twenty-five years, winter and sum mer. The pastures are principally -blue grass and white clover. Our winter feed Is mainly shock corn scattered on the sod or on meadows, just as you would feed cattle, only scattered thinly on the ground and quickly as possible, so as to get an even feed. One hundred and twenty-five sheep are as many as .should be in one field winter and sum mer. We keep 125 ewes and their lambs in a forty-acre lot, with a port able shed, IS feet wide, 48 feet long and four to five feet high on the sides. This shed is needed in winter, so they can go in and out at pleasure; In sum mer so they can get out of the hot 'sun and out of reach of the gad fly. The fly can not work In sheds. I do taot know that we have lost one sheep 'from "grub in the head" or from "tape worm" in ten years In a flock of 6,000 ihead. It 13 nonsense to make such ado about such things that amount to noth ing if sheep are properly red and cared for. The worst, and indeed, about all that troubles sheep in Missouri is the stomach worm. It dees somo damage 'in the lamb crop, especially In late lambs. All sheep will do better to have clean pastures in summer, where no sheep have been running through the winter, but thi3 we cannot always have. Sow a field, early in the spring, in oats, clover and timothy, and you can have a first-class pasture for ewes and lambs and after May 10 or 15 for all summer. We have 500 acres of .creek bottom land, too low and wet to be sure of a good corn crop. It is in about seven different fields, blue grass, red and white and alsike clover. Our 'sheep do finely on these pastures, just as well as on the high lands. We have pastured some of the low land3 twenty-live yeara with sheep and have nearly always done well on them. There is plenty of lime in the soil there. There Is no stock less liable to disease than sheep, and if fairly well handled nothing pays better. Hogs are dying at a fearful rate In this section. I have been convinced for forty years past that "swine plague," so-called, is a special and direct decree from the Almighty, in part at least, to stop swine worship and to stop the exten sive use of pork as food for the hu man family. Our sheep are enclosed the year round in barb wire fence, and at the end of the year if you should pici all the fence you would not get enough wool to make a pair of socks. They learn better than to pull their wool out in that way. Sheds should be on dry ground, well-bedded with straw and well ventilated. To begin ners I would say, do not fear diseases in sheep. Keep the flock reasonably young and feed well. See that they have water and salt at all times, good dry, comfortable sheds where no other stock can get at them. Kogs or cattlo in the sheds with sheep will not do. Do not fear barb wire fence or bottom land, but look sharp for the worthless curs who love mutton. A few sheep are needed on every farm to keep weeds down in summer, but feed gen erously on corn in winter. If you make a specialty of the cockle burr crop, don't have sheep. It is a bad mixture. Ewes at six or seven years old raise as good lambs as younger ewes and arc better mothers, but it is best to fatten all ewes at not latter than eight years and sell to he butcher. Cattle Feeding in Kansas. The cattle fever Is all over this west ern country, writes a Kanas corre spondent of the St Louis Globe-Democrat. It is no wonder. Where one man made money on a wheat crop last year ten farmers Increased their bank accounts with profits on cattle. Hero Is Diamond valley, 100 miles and more from Kansas City. Yet for three years corn has brought Kansas City prices at the farmers' cribs. Cattle from the west, southwest and northwest come into this region in a never ending stream. They range in age from calves to 3-year-olds. They eat the blue stem of the prairies in the summer and con sume the corn, the millet, the cane and the alfalfa in the winter. They como in all kinds of conditions. Here they are made ready for the market. It may be three months or It may be three years before the animal from the ranges leaves the pastures and feed lots of the farmers for the market. But this is the half way place between the range and the market. In that capacity it is fulfilling a present des tiny. At the same time it is making more money for the farmers than any single crop they raise. Squabs and Capons for Market. If squab3 are killed before they can fly the flesh is white, but after that it darkens, reducing the value from one to two dollars per dozen. Those rais ing them for market should keep the old ones well supplied with food so that the young may become plump and fat. Always dry pick them, and re move all of the down. Leave on the heads, and leave the entrails in. . Have them thoroughly cooled before pack ing, then ship by express. The rules for picking and shipping squabs apply to broilers. Capons should always be dry picked. Leave on the heads and leave entrails in. Also leave all the feathers on the neck and the large ones en the wings and tail. Slips are dress ed the same way. They arc readiiy selected from capons by the growth of their combs and swelling of the 3purs. These usually sell for several cents per pound less than capons. Mirror anc Farmer. Sale of Oleo in Pennsylvania. Mr. William D. Edson, a prominent butter merchant of Philadelphia, who, by the way, is not a manufacturer of or dealer in that twin-fraud of oleomargarine, "process butter," writes that owing to .the protection accorded the oleo peo Vie by the political ring of this state the sales of oleomargarine has greatly increased, and so encouraged have be come the fraud butter men that they were even inspired to secretly ask the legislature to legalize their sales by passing a revenue bill, which has been for the time being frustrated by prompt discovery and opposition on the part of dairymen. Mr. Edson says that at a conservative estimate the en forcement of the law has been a sav ing to the farmers east of the Alle gheny mountains of at least $3,000,000 annually. The Dairy World.

An experience cf over twenty-five ycais of continuous practice iu secur ing patents for inventors warrants us to give advice In the interests of inventors. We established the Iowa Patent OHice as an honorable and le gitimate enterprise uml means of per sonal usefulness and livelihood and the promotion of the public good as contemplated by our Patent Laws and have given free advice to thousands of inventors and still continue to do so. Making inventions as a rule in volves time, labor and money. Get ting patents requires skilled labor and fees. Inventors are pioneers in the domain of art and in many instances exhaust themselves and their means as public benefactors without reaping material personal reward. Farming is generally considered the surest re munerative occupation. Planting corn and other crops is a business chance like getting a Patent. Often planting fails to bring crops. But unless the expense of planting is in curred by somebody, there will be r.o harvests. Just so with inventors. Consultation and advico free. THOMAS G.vORWIG & CO., Iowa Patent Office. Solicitors.

She is illogical, unhappy and frequently hysterical. The condition of the mind known as " the blues," nearly always, with wo men, results from diseased organs of generation. It is a source of wonder that in this age of advanced medical science, any person should still believe that mere force of will and determination will overcome depressed spiritsxand nerv ousness in women. These troubles aro" indications of disease. Every woman who doesn't under stand her condition should write to Lynn, Mass., to Mrs. Pinkham for her advice, llor advice is thorough com mon sense, and is the counsel of. a learned woman of great experience. Read the story of Mrs. F. S. Bennett, Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol lowing letter: " Dear Mrs. PiSKrtAst: I have suf-. fered for over two years with falling, enlargement and ulceration of the womb, and this spring, being in such a weakened condition, caused me to flow for nearly six months. Some time ago, urged by friends, I wrote to you for advice. After using the treatment wliich you advised for a short time, that terrible flow stopped. "I am now gaining strength and flesh, and have better health than I have had for the past ten 3-cars. I whh to say to all distressed, suffer ing women, do not suffer longer, when there is one o kind and willing to aid you." Lydia E.
