Financially' , the billiard exhibition
was not a success. The receipts lacked
158 of being enough to satisfy all claims ,
and the enterprising managers had to
"cough up" that amount from the bottom
tom of their jeans.
Leather fenders are to bo put over the
wheels of the police patrol wagon to pre
vent the mud from Hying up and soiling
the clothes of the prisoners. The next
move will be for the ollicors to wear kid
gloves , so as not to handle the fellows
too harshly.
A badly smashed1 laundry wngon was
the result of the driver trying to turn
around too near to the edge of the creek
near north Main street. The tumble
into the crook was a wild one , and it is
the greatest sort of u wonder that the
driver and horses escaped serious in
jury.
jury.Owing
Owing to n little misunderstanding
between .T. M. Omsler , Union Pacillc
agent at the Broadway depot , and Mr.
Carton , ferry ticket agent , the latter is
no longer a Union Pacific employe. Mr.
Carson refused to bo switchman , and
was requested to surrender his Union
Pacific badge. The duties of the ferry
agent will probably be a little plainer in
the future.
The Union Pacillc will sell round trip
tickcts'at reduced ratcbfor those desiring
to attend the ball in Omaha this evening
by the Brotherhood of Locomotive En
gineers. Thcbo tickets will onlv bo
good on the trains leaving here at Si-
and ! ) :45 : this evening , and on the
special train , returning , which will
leave Omaha late to-night.
The case of Citizens' bank vs. Hen-
drio was yesterday dragged through
another day's hearing in the dihtrict
court and was finally submitted to the
jury. The prospects for a verdict arc
rather slim , as one of the jurymen was
nick during the entire day. The attend
ants at the court wens well entertained
by the tongue-lashings indulged in bv
the attorneys in the case , who took ait-
vantage of the opportunity to gratify
personal spite.
Mrs. Thomas Mctralf entertained a
number of young ladies Tuesday after
noon with ti novel "thimble bee. " The
souvenirs consisted of silver thimbles ,
each guest's name being engraved
thereon. The gathering was in special
honor of Miss Florence Root , of Kco-
kuk. Those present were Misses Lulu
Loomis , Angio Rockwell , Harriet
Knopper , Maria Phillips , Clara Beb-
bington , Ida Wells , all of this city ; Miss
Hindlo , of Gobhon , Ind. ; Misses Nannie
and Florence Clayton , of Omaha.
What is the P. E.G. ? None of the men
can toll , and none of the ladies will. All
that can bo learned is that it is a secret
society composed of ladies. Even the
meaning of the mystic letters is hidden
from all but the members. The order
is said to bo growing rapidly , especially
in this state , and the organization is so
complete that the members , though
strangers , are able to recognize each
other. The purposes of the organ ization
are evidently commendable , as apocars
from the character of the members , and
from some of the openly declared plans.
Ono of the plans of the local circle , or
club , or society , er whatever it may bo
properly bo called , is the furnishing of
iv room in the Woman's Christian
association hospital. In further
ance of this fund a Dutch pic
nic is to bo given Friday evening in the
room next to Atkins' store on Baoad-
way. The ladies merit generous sup
port in this enterprise.

Hoard of Trade
The first meeting of the board of trade
in their new rooms was held last even
ing , President Wells in the chair.
Chairman Weiss of the finance com
mittee reported the payment of dues
amounting to .t2/ , ! ! / , three persons hav
ing signed and withdrawn. Report re
ceived and committee given further
time to make collections.
Mr. Merrlam. of the committee ap
pointed to attend the shinpci's hssocia-
tion at DCS Ur.'tticB , reported at length.
The report was received and filed and
a letter embodied in the same was re
ferred to the merchant's and jobber's
committee.
The committee to act in the Pacific
house matter made only a partial re
port and further time was given them
to complete.
Mr. Merrinmsuggested'thaUhisboard
act in reference to the proposed reduc
tion in pnhscnger rates.
John F. Stewart objected to the passage -
ago by this board of miy resolutions or
addressing of any petition to the legis
lature for a change In the existing rates
of transportation. There are already
forty-two bills upon this subject before
the legislature , and any more would
only complicate matters and assist in
prcVcnting any action by the legislative
body.
Mr. Weiss moved that the chair ap
point a committee of two to go to Ie )
Moines to look after legislation bearing
upon this matter. An amendment was
offered by Mr. Wrightand adopted that
the same committee look after our city
interests as well. Messrs. Holmes and
Odell were named : i that committee.
The application of John B. Cook , of
Carall , la. , for the position of secretary
of the board was read and referred.
The following names were ordered
enrolled as honorary members of the
board : F. M. Gault , Wabash railroad ;
John M. Lane , Chicago , Milwaukee < fc
St. Paul mod ; Nixon Waterman , Coun
cil Bluffs Rcllcctor.
A communication was received from
William Mullens , Detroit , askinf for in
formation respecting the location of a
knitting factory , was read and referred.
Mr. Weiss ottered the following reso
lution , which was adopted : "Tho treas
urer shall give bonds to bo approved by
the finance committc. "
Mr. Day moved that the matter of
building a hotel be referred to the com
mittee on manufactures with instruc
tions to correspond with hotel builders
elsewhere. Carried.
E. II. Odell introduced the following
resolution , which was adopted :
"Resolved , That a committee of this
board bo appointed and instructed to
'wait upon the city council and insist
uion the council requiring the marshal
to enforce the ordinance prohibiting the
hauling of earth over the paved streets
in wagons with loose or improperly con
structed beds , and that the city council
take such action as shall enforce this
resolution. "
On motion of Mr. Wright the matter
of paving Broadway from Twelfth street
to the river was referred to the com
mittee on public improvements with in
structions to confer with the city council
to secure that end.
Oil motion of Mr. Evans the secretary
was instructed to confer with owners of
real estate in the city and instruct the
committee on manufactures what
amounts of land they are willing to do
nate to secure manufacturers to locate
buildings upon their property.
The board adjourned to next Tuesday
evening.

The Petty Offcndcm.
Yesterday's business in the police
court was rather limited. Lou Brailuy ,
the pugilistic domestic who kicked a
row in the family of John Hainbright
on Tenth avenue , appeared in company
with Deputy Marshal White rind paid
all costs incurred in her case. She said
that She wanted to get her trunk , and
would , then go away and bother her
former employer no moro , but they re
fused to let her take the trunk away , as
it contained a picture of Mrs. Huin-
bright. The deputy was ordered to go
down with her , take out the picture and
set the trunk outside for her. Then if
the other parties were not inclined to
prosecute farther , she might'go on her
way. In the event of any moro war , all
of them wore to bo immediately brought
back to the station. They all seemed
to be satisfied with the arrangement , as
peace was declared and the'intruding
Lutio returned to Nebraska soil. D.
Payne was arraigned on a charge of as
sault and buttery. Ho pleaded not
guilty and was dismissed on payment of
costs.
In the afternoon an unusual audience
assembled at the trial of Frank Aspinnll ,
leader of the Salvation army , charged
with obstructing the sidewalk. All the
elite of the army was there , both rank
and file. Ovido Vicn appeared as at
torney for the defendant. The exami
nation created considerable amusement.
Whenever any testimony in favor of tho.
defendant was elicited , the court room
was filled with cries of "Amen. " At
torney Vion made a rather lengthy ar
gument in favor of his client , and the
court said he would not inflict a fine , as
the mayor had so requested him. It
seems that the mayor had promised
them a letter of instruction to rcgulato
their proceedings , but owing to the
pressure of other business had not found
time to attend to it. While the decis
ion was being rendered the "Amons"
and "Hallelujahs" became so numerous
that the court had to request silence
until he got through. The case of W.
H. Wyman for canvassing without a li
cense was continued.
The motion fora new trial in the case
of state vs Whitmer was argued before
Judge Thornoll last evening. The de
fense claims that Colonel Dailey in his
argument stated that the defendant
dare not go upon the stand and ask for
a new trial upon that ground. The
prosecution denied the charge. The
court took the matter under considera
tion.
tion.Tho
The jury in the Hondrio case was sent
out nt-8 o clock. Mr. Pratt was selected
foreman. About 10 o'clocR they sent
out for n copy of the code to help them
in their deliberations.
_
Politics and Police.
Captain O'Brien , of the police force ,
declares positively that ho is to be nom
inated by the democrats for city marshal ,
and that he will bo elected without any
sort of doubt. He is'working the wires
tremendously for a man who has such a
sure thing , and there ore whisperings
that ho has put a proviso that if he does
not get the nomination ho will run in
dependent , or seek n nomination from
the republicans. Marshal Guanolla is
also in the race , and his friends are nc
less confident that ho will get the plum ,
The republicans seem to be short of can
didates at present for that particulai
olllco. The struggle for the marshal'
ship is looked upon as ono of the cause :
of the recent outbreak in the police
ranks , in which the police got mad anO
told so many things about each other
Mayor Rohrer , who desires peace ani
harmony in the party ranks , has at las
got the otllcors to listen to his advlc <
and keep mum , \yaituntilafterelcc
tion to air their grievances. If ono-hal
'the charges made , backwards and for
wards , are true , there should bo a 'thor
oughoverhauling of the force oven be
fore election time.
The Broadway Bridge.
Mr. T. J. Evans , manager of the
Council Bluffs and Omaha Bridge com
pany , stated yesterday to a BEK re
porter that there is material enough
now on hand to keep the men busy for
nearly six weeks. Thsi * is a largo force
now at v.'Ork on this side of the river ,
nndlhcy are making rapid progress.
Mr. Evans wild that he had no fears
whatever that the ice in going out
would do them any damage. He firmly
believes that the river pier will bo com
pleted before the ice breaks up , and is
very well satisfied with the present out
look. The opinion expressed by some
that the ice would carry out the piling
and otherwise olny havoc with the work
is entirely without foundation , and
there is no reason for any concern in
the matter. It is still the intention of
the company to have the bridge in
readiness to open to public travel by the
first of Juno , 1889. _
Election of Officers.
The Third regiment of the Uniform
Rank of Knights of Pythias will hold a
meeting to-day at the Castle hall of St.
Albans lodge No. 17 , for the purpose of

attendance of ofllccrs from all over the
western part of the state. The visitors

N THE TENNESSEE MOUNTAINS.
'coplo AVho Live In WlndoxvlcBS
Cabins.
Chicago Tribune : "I.always had an
dea that the stories we read about the
_ gnoranco of the people living in the
mountain regions of Tennessee were ex-
iggcriitions , " said a Chicago man who
iituly.iiuuU ) a visit to the southeastern
'
.mrt'of . that slate. "But now I know
bettor. These reports are not only true ,
"but the facts have not been half told. I
: un not easily astonished , but I confess I
ivus astonished by what I saw in Ten
nessee. Why , there are lots of men
down there who have grown old and
lave raised families who can neither
i-ead nor write , and have never in their
ivcs been far enough away from their
ionics to lose sight of the'smoko that
curled out of their chimneys. Tknow
here was a time when people lived in
nouses that had no windows in them ,
but I never dreamed that such a state of
iiffairs existed in this enlightened age.
Yet there arc plenty of such habitations
n Tennessee. And the people who live
n them are quite as much representa
tives of civilization as their dwellings.
They have no knowledge whatever of
the existnnco of u world that extends
beyond the range of their vision on a
clear day. I will say , however , that
with them ignorance is decidedly bli
"ul. To possess a rifle or a shotgun and
jug of whisky is the limit of their ambi
tion. They know nothing of the value
of money except as regards its power to
purchase liquor and ammunition.
"Ono day a man whom I met had oc-
cason to go from his homo to county
seat. He was a man of moro intolli-
_ enco than most of his fellows , but ho
had never in his life been away from
homo before. Ho had never seen a
town. The nearest approach to one he
had seen was the collection of houses
about the store where ho sold his truch
ind bought his bacon. When he got
back from the county scat I asked him
what ho thought of what ho saw.
'Well , ' said ho 'all I got tor say is-this :
If this world is as big on the right uv
us as it is on the left she must bo a reg-
lar whale. '
"I was oncp riding up in the Cumber
land Mountains"continued the Chicago
man , "when I saw a bearded mountain
eer splitting a big tree he hud felled.
It was a huge black walnut. I said to
him : 'My friend , what are you doingj"
'I'm a makin' fence rails , ' was hisreply.
'Well'I ' don't toll
, said'you mean to
me vou arc making fence rails out of
that piece of timber ? , ' 'Why , sartin.
That's a peed log , ain't it ? ' It was as
fine a black walnut log as I ever saw ,
and if my friend had known enough to
get somebody with a few oxen or mules
to drag the log to the railroad he could
haye sold it for $ i00 ! , for it was worth
more than that.
"But it is not only the mountaineers
whose density of ignorance is astonish
ing. I observed a case notable as show
ing in a striking manner why the south
is so far behind the rest of the country ,
in the matter of progress. The lumber-
used in Tennessee for building pure
poses is poplar , as the mountains ar
full of it and pine is scarce. Saw mills
are established in the 'coves , ; and the
millman cuts up logs hauled to his saws
by the mountaineers. Ho pays a cer
tain sum for legs , and then , figuring
compensation for his work of sawing
sets u price on hisproduct. It'happcncd
that at the time I was in Tennessee the
price of lumber was $18 per 1,000 feet.
A man of my acquaintance was having
a house built and determined to have
the interior finished with hardwood and
red cedar , which abounded in that
region. Accordingly he asked the saw-
mi H'mini what ho would charge for lum
ber of that kind. My friend was greatly
astonished on being told that the price
would bo just the same as for poplar
"
$18 per 1,000. That sawmill man will
probably get rich. Had he taken his
hardwood and cedar lumber to the rail
road and shipped it to Chattanooga or
Nashville it would have brought him
$50 or SCO per 1,000.
"Ono moro yarn , " added the Chicago
man. A big strapping boy came into
grocery store while 1 was there and
otfercd a bug of Hickory nuts for said
Ho wanted a quarter for then. To
afford mo a little amusement the store
keeper threw down a $5 goldpicco and
asked the boy if ho would sell them foi
that. 'No , sirreo , ' ho said , 'you can't
cheat mo. I want a quarter. ' The store
keeper afterward told mo that the boj
didn't know what -the gold piece was ,
He Eaid the boy , like most people la thai
region'had ' no conception whatever of
any amount of motley exceeding a del

A NEW STATESMAN.
A Member Prom Jlllnoln Tells HI *
ImprrBtona of Washington.
Washington correspondence : I cor
nered Representative Mason of Chicago
last nlght < and , after informing him
that ho had been in congress about six
weeks , asked him hoc ho liked ii. : fur ;
as ho had JJCEO. - hiy experience in
Yvnshington so far , ' ' ho said , has been
very much as I expncted it would bo
from what I had read and heard from
others , but in some things I huvo been
surprised and in others I have been
disappointed. The climate of Wash
ington is us changeable as a Cook
county democrat. The city is , I think ,
the prettiest in the world. I never
have seen many cities except Chicago ,
Sprlnglield , Waukcgan , and now and
then a glimpse of Evanston , but I am
delighted with Washington. 1 heard n
good deal of complaint about the board
ing houses of Washington , but 1 have
been pleasantly surprised with ours.
We were fortunate in getting located in
the Illinois headquarters , where Gen
eral Logan lived for a good manv years ,
and the expense of living is but very
little , if any , moro than in Chicago. "
"Have you been out in society muchV"
"Well , I don't really know how much
of society I have been in. I went to the
president's reception to the diplomatic
corps , and was very much entertained
on the front porch. We waited outside
nearly an hour in a procession composed
of statesmen , newspaper men , army and
navy oflicers , diplomats and committee
clerks , and 1 found it harder to get in
than it was to enter a Canal street
boarding house when the dinner hell
rings. But there wore lots of very ele
gantly dressed people there , among
whom , I flatter myself , I was one. I
( lid not have much of a conversation
with Mrs. Cleveland or the president
that evening and do not think I < vas
treated very politely , because they did
not even ask mo to sit down. After I
passed on into the cast room I discovered
the probable cause of this little slight ,
for there was not n chair to bo found ,
or any pluvio to put ono if it had been
there.
"After standing an hour or two upon
the porch , with the thermometer pome-
whore near zero and the wind howling
"ike a pack of prairie wolves , we got
nto the vestibule , and there our ears
, vero deafened by a lot of men who were
lowing into horns and beating on
rums as if they were exorcising some
vil spirits. I struggled along the best
could with the rest and tried to keep
rom getting angry. I entertained the
people round me by saying funny things
ind treading on their feet , and was
Dually pushed along into the room ,
ivhere the walls were covered witli
ivoodon frames or pigeonholes. Here I
was informed was the place to shed my
joat , but my experience in losing it a
"ew days bcforo had taught me great
caution , and I declined to surrender any
of my garments without a receipt for
them'Irom Mr. Cleveland himself.
There was no tim6 to parley , for the
crowd that succeeded us upon the porch
kept shoving us along , and we passed in
ii serpent-like procession , crawling in
hrough a scries of rooms until we
cached a circular place where stood the
president of the greatest nation on earth
and one of the handsomest women in the
world beside him. I had intended to
itop and chat awhile with the president
ind Mrs. Cleveland , and thank them for
! ie honor of receiving an invitation to
ho first party they gave this winter.but
ii man in a military uniform stood bofb'rc
bo president and asked what my name
tvas. I was considerably mortified at
, ' is ; for I supposed that I had carved
my name upon the niche of fame to a
sufficient degree of conspicuousnesstobo
recognized there. But , being in my us
ual obliging mood , I told him what my
name was , and where I cnmefrom. Then
ic bellowed it to the President as if he
tad got hold of something new. The
president grabbed mo by the fin , called
mo Mr. Payson , and said : "How do you
do. " - -
"As he lot go my hand he gave a sort
of yank which threw mo in front of Mrs.
' 'leveland , and there I met such a beilu-
iful smile and bow that itmademe hap
y all the rest of the evening. I passed
oh with the rest ot the procession into a
big room that was so full of people that
you could scarcely move round , and when
11 o'clock came wo went home. "
'Is this the extent of your experience
among fashionable circles at Washing
ton V"
"No , I made calls on Now Year's day
with a friend and was very much enter
tained , i saw a large number of beau
tiful ladies. They all wore the same
Washington smile , and some of them
didn't wear much of anything else. 1
; an hardly wait for New Years to come
ugain. "
"How do you get along with your fel
low members ? "
"They don't know I am here yet. The
only man in the house I am really inti
mate with is Perry Belmont. Last Mon
day I introduced a resolution for Frank
Collier of Chicago for a change in the
diplomatic regulations , under which
our representatives abroad should be
called ambassadors instead of envoys ex
traordinary and ministers plenipoten
tiary. This was for the purpose of giv
ing them a proper standing among the
representatives of other nations and for
expediting such business as American
citizens may have with foreign govern
ments. I thought it was proper for mete
to call the attention of the chairman of
the committee on foreign affairs to the
merits of the measure. I introduced
myself to Mr. Belmont and told him
that I was the introducer of the
very last bill which had been referred
to his committee. Mr. Belmont kept
his eyes on the speaker all the while
as if ho was afraid he would get away ,
and replied : "That proposition is not
now. " I suggested to him then that
the ago of a proposition had nothing to
do with its meritsjto which ho Tepliod :
'Well , perhaps not.'t/still looking at the
sneaker , I made my escape from his
august presence. y\ftor I got back tc
the republican side , I turned around
and watched , but ho didn't seem to be
looking for mo. l think , therefore , I
am quite well acquainted with Belt
inont , and my bill is sure to receive
proper attention at his hands.

Resources of the "West.
E. Dyer , of New. York , on his way
home from an extensive tour of obser
vation and study in'itho west in the in
terest of his firm , a'heavy ' Wall street
banking house says : "Tho eastern
idea of the west , " is vague , and these
easterners who have had railroad build
ing and real estate speculations dinnet
into their ears until they look upon the
father west as in a state of inflation
should visit the country. In no othei
way can a true idea of its greatness bo
formed. There is inflation in places , i
is true , but in the main the west is only
beginning to work its marvelous re
sources. You get a correct idea o
American progress in the west. The
railroad building bus stimulated em !

the states and territories , especially
into California. Now towns are spring

lions. In many places the demand Can
not bo gratified. I looked into the Cal
ifornia land speculation. There is in
flation there. The boom is still on' , and
prices of t'cal estuto In several of the
'boom ' towiift' have nearly doubled in the
lust year. The natives are getting out.
Thu shrewd old operators who wore first
on the field are not taking any moro
risks on the towns that have been
boomed < ho most. The new-comers
from the cast are doing1 that. There
will bc.il ' . - . - . in some ottncSo places'
n a year or two , perhaps sooner , but
ho country will still bo left , and it is a
Tondcrful ono in point of climate and
M'oducing power. All the real estate
> ooins are worked by professional bootn-
rs. There are lots of shrewd ones in
he west who can work up a boom
Imost anywhere if the condi-
ions are half favorable. The craze in
Arizona is over irrigation. The San
Siinono valley , containing 12,000.000
acres , and the Sulphur Spring valioy ,
ontuining 10,000,000 , are each watered
ly numerous streams flowing down the
urrounding mountains. The grand
chcmo is to divert these streams to sev-
ral hundred thousands of acres of hind
idjucent , which is yet free. This is the
lopulnr scheme of the country , and if
: arried out , will reclaim several mil-
ions of acres on which four or live crops
of alfalfa the richest feed in the world
can bo raised a year. The Arizona
> coplo are after uu from congress , but
it the sc.Kie lime are interesting eastern
: ; pitalists in the project. The mineral
csourcesof Arisona : are beyond compil
ation. The territory is settling up fast
mw that the Apaches , who have kept
> ooplo out of Arizona , are under con-
rol. The cattlemen generally report
hat their losses thus far have been very
mull. It is curly in the season , how
ever.
Strange Phenomena.
Brown Valley correspondence St.
'aul Glebe : When the sublime terror of
ho late blizzard on the 12th inst. was
airly initiated , the wind was blowing
strocg from the cast , attended with
now-shccts beating in upon us. About
o'clock in the nftcrnoo.ii there was a
Momentary luil , and a dark shadow
veiled the sky , casting a somber gloorn
ipon the silvery rills dancing over the
1 rifts. Not live minutes elapsed bcforo
the wind reversed its compass and then
> pened its batteries from the west far
moro furioua than before , and go con
tinued without abatement. During the
light , while the storm was yet wholing ,
though the temperature of the room in
which I lay was quite comfortable ,
jeing well warmed by a stove lire and
10 wind could possibly creep under the
jedclothcs , every dash against the wall
if the house caused the nerves to shiver.
The tremor of the very fibers of the
wood and glass of the double windows
coinmuhicated a feeling that seemed ,
nero than anything else , to be electric
shivers of frigidity shooting through the
Jody. Can it be possible , I queried ,
, hat this emotion is an absolute nega
tion cold ? And is electricity a pro
ducer.as well as a conductor of tomper-
iturc ? The shivers did not feel like
, hp usual effects of chill. The trem-
jling of the nerves was all the while
iccompanicd with an electric insulation
of the whole person , highly charging
the hair of the head. Crackling noises
were heard around the picture frames
iiid other furniture ; lights there visi-
aly flashed in quick succession , and
these imported shocks when touched.
A Costly Telegraphic Mistake.
The Western Union Telegraph com-
iany has a suit on hand in Philadelphia
which bids fair to bo costly , if the alle
gations are true. The trouble grows
ntt of a mistake of the operator in send
ing a mcfsage to the west , directed to
iho buying agent of Frank J. PrimrcS3 ,
a prominent wool merchant. Mr. Prim
rose was operating largely in wool , and
tie claimed that he worded a dispatch
notifying that ho had "bought" all
; ho wool he needed. By some
blunder the message , when it
reached its destination , gave directions
to "buy , " and the agcnt'ncting on these
supposed instructions , made largo pur
chases right and left on account of his
principal. Wool took a tumble , and Mr.
Primrose found himself possessed of
moro of thit article than he bargained
for. Ho was obliged to dispose of the
material gathered in the west under the
directions of the dispatch at a loss of
f-50,000. To-day suit was brought by him
in the United States circuit court
against the telegraph company to re-
covcr'damagcs to that amount. It is
claimed that the message was carefully
and plainly worded , the instructions ex
plicit-and that the mistake was the re
sult of carelessness or incompetency of
the employes of the telegraph company.
Choking Catarrh.
Have you awakened from a disturbed sleep
with all the horrible sensations of an assassin
clutching your throat and pressing the life-
breath from your tightened chest ? Have you
noticed the languor and debility that succeed
the effort tp clear your throat and head of this
catarrhal matter ? What a depressing influence
ita exerts upon the mind , clouding the memory
and Oiling the head with pains and strange
noises ) How difficult It is to rid the nasal pass
ages , throat and lungs of this poisonous mucus
all can testify who are aflllcted with catarrh.
How difficult to protect the system against its
further progress towards the lungs , liver and
kldnej s. all physicians " ill udmlt. It is a terri
ble dlseixbe and cries out for relief and cure.
