The fact is , Rheumatism is a dis ordered state of the blood it can bo reached , therefore , only through the blood. But all blood remedies cannot cure Rheu matism , for it is an obstinate disease , ono which requires a real blood remedy something more than a mere tonic. Swift's Specific is the only real blood remedy , and it promptly goes to the very bottom of oven the most obstinate caso. Mrs. JmnosKoll , OllNliUh St.N. E. Washington , D. 0. , writes : "I hml nn nttnuk of Sciatic liliGinnntism in its worst form. The rmlnvns so intense ) that my nurvons system was prostrated , and I was for n long time perfectly helpless. "I wns attended by ono of the most nblo doctors of Washington Oity , and after hav ing his prescription re lil I ml twelve times and receiving not the leust benellt , I declined to take it longer. " heard S. S. . ' , "Having S. ( Swift's Specific ) recommended for Khtummtism , ! decided , almost in despair , to give it n trial.

All the distressing pains hnvo left mo , my nppotitohas returned and 1 am happy to uo again restored to perfect health , " Like all other blood diseases , the doctors are totally unable to cure Rheumatism. lnfaot , , the only remedies which they proscribe are potash and mercury , and though temporary relief may result , these remedies produce a stiffness of joints and only intensify the disease. Those who have htid experience with Rheumatism know that it becomes more severe each year. S. S. S. never disappoints , for it is made to cure these deep- rooted diseases which are beyond the reach of all other remedies. It cures permanently , Rheumatism , Catarrh , Cancer , Scrofula , Kiizomu , and all other blood diseases. It is the only blood remedy guaranteed PURELY VEGETABLE.

The counting In some counties will continue next week , but there has been such close watching that no material changes arc expected. The Indications arc that the senate will stand nineteen democrats and seventeen republicans , and the house fitly- one dcmociats and fifty-eight republicans , with a majority of flvo republicans on Joint ballot. There may be several contested scats , but these carnet > be considered till the legls. laturo meets the first Monday In January next. Since It seems to be settled that the republicans have a small majority on Joint ballot , the rumors are revived about a com bine of certain rohubllcan members with the seventy democratic members for the election of some ono other than Senator Hanna on the Joint ballot. . When Senator Forakcr was endowed by the republican state convention two years ago for tits present position In the senate thcro was no legislative caucus , It Is an nounced now that there will be a republican senatorial caucus when the legislature con vencs next January. Senator Hanna was endowed dewed at the last state convention for the senate , but the old factional fight that for merly existed between Sherman and Fora- kcr's following and later betncen the friends of McKlnley and Foraker has been revived this year with more Intense feeling that heretofore. It Is said that thcro are about a dozen of the republican members who had Mine factional opposition In their counties especially for their nominations , who do not feel kindly toward the Junior Ohio senator. There has been so much talk about com bines that It Is certain that repuollcins wll hold a Joint caucus for the nomination of a candidate for senator , and Senator Hanna will no doubt be the caucus nominee. It Is thought that as the regular nominee there will be no trouble about his election , as none of the republican members would refuse under the circumstances either to enter the caucus or abide by Its result. There are some republicans who are said to be working for the antl-Hanna combine , but ncae of the members are known to favor such a move ment. Governor Iliuhnell will have a demo cratic senate on which to depend for the conllrmatlo.n of his appointments and no paittsan legislation can be passed. The Dispatch today prints an Interview with Allen 0. Myers of the democratic state headquarters. In which Mr. Myers says : "I stand today where I stood the day aftei the election , with Judge Nash , chairman of the republican state committee , who cays the senate will be seventeen republicans and nineteen democrats , and the house fifty- eight republicans and fifty-one democrats , giving the republicans five majority on Joint bailer for United States Eonitorl" Mr. Myers In the report does not say fllrecHy , but Inti mates that nothing will coma of the efforts to get up contests In the Joglplature. TOLEDO , O. , Nov. G. Judge Ilnrker of the Ninth circuit court decided'today ' that Wood County Hoard of Supervisory mutt certify re. turns of Center township. . 'This ' elects Norrls ( republican ) candidate , for repre sentative. The essential part of Judge Park's decision Is as follows : , ' My views and conclusion , * * do not make It necessary to consider the question whether the polling place was located ag , required by law or the question of tlio effect upon the vote If It wan not no loca\il , , J .am of the opinion that you arc not authorized by law to pass upon these questions , Uwt actlns as a county canvassing bofird-nunder section 2.CS2 , Ilpvlsexl ' Statutes , your'duties are. purely ministerial.

Tne section iwas at that time tilmost the s.imo as It now stands , the sllsht changes made not affecting the question under consideration here , but It was then numbered section 29S1. The law Is stated In the syllabus as follows : "Under the presence of section 20S1 of the Revised Statutes defining the duties of can vassers of election returns , which require that in making' the abstracts of votes they shall not decide upon the validity of the returns , but shall bo governed by the num ber of votes stated In the poll books. " The duties of such canvassers are merely min isterial and they have no power to decide such returns or any part of them Invalid by reason of fraud at the election or In the rntlirn Ihnmnf ri mmli * tn thr * olorlr nnil have no power to exclude such returns or nny p.irt thereof from the. count for such reasons. Judge Park holds that the functions of the board of elections are simply ministerial ; that they must certify to the vote as they find it without going behind the returns ; tint the question as to whether the provisions of the law were not compiled with In having the booth outside the boundaries of Center township precinct and whether If so It In validates ( lie ballots there cast must be de cided by the courts or by the legislature It self.

The board adjourned until Monday , when Attorney General Clabaugh Is expected to bo present. There U a conflict In the law. ono section declaring that no ballot shall bo counted which lacks the signature of a Judge while another section states that such ballots shall be counted.

Tu I UN on ICiirnpenii Sentiment Coii- oeriiiiiKT Cuba. NEW YORK , Nov. 6. Senator E. 0. Wol- eott of Colorado , who has just returned from a vlalt to the capitals of Europe as a member of the United States monetary com- mlesslon , still refuses to talk regarding the lesults of his mission. On the Cuban ques tion , however , [ Senator Wolcot't ' said today : "So far s the threatened imbroglio with Spain Is concerned , I cannot speak , for J do not know what has 'happened ' In the last ten dfoa. In Europe the opinion Is divided as to the rights of the countries. In France this Is made apparent and there the papers go to extremes. The Journals which support the government and are strongly republican In their views regard the United States as the Ideal nation , and they speak of our dlincul- tles with Spain in a way which gives the opinion that one shot from an American man-of-war would end everything. < "The monarchical papers aio as rabid In the other direction. They regard the United Statra as an example of the Inability of the people to rule themselves and hold that should the rapacity of the Americans lead this country to a war with Spain the powers of Europe would Interfere and the United States would IIml themselves In serious dif ficulties. "How far these opinions prevail among the people at large I cannot say , 'though ' In France , I think that sympathy generally Is with Cuba and the United States. In. Great Britain there seems to be less popular In terest 'In ' the question , 'though ' some of the papers now and then give utterance to rabidly anti-American views , while others are in our favor. "I am not certain how the people of Ger many and eastern Europe feel in the matter , but I do not believe mere Is a sentiment which would support their government should it wish to interfere. As a consequence quence I do not fear that buch a complica tion will result. " The Evening World says former Vice President titcvenson'B failure to return with Senator Wolcott and General Paine was due to a new turn of affairs Ini England , which may result In some change In the attitude of the llrltlsh government on the bimetallic question. AH a consequence the Evening World eays the report of the United States commissioners will not bci made public until Mr. Stevenson Is heard from. WIIJH HA.NCi : IX WlllS.Vr I'HICKH. of Drouth CIIIINI-N Drop In tin * .Miirlirt. CHICAGO , Nov. C. The range of wheat In the Chicago market In the past week has been wide , especially so for the December option , In which there was a difference of 5 % cents between the high and low polntn. The spread between May and December , which WES 3 centa a week ago , was at onetime time during the week less than a cent , but at the close last night had widened again to 2402 ! % cents. There las : been a decided Improvement In the prospects Tor the earning season's winter wheat crop during the past week , The drouth fast of the MlsBlEslppI , which was re markable for Its severity , was thoroughly broken Monday and Tuesday by soaking rains , This was equally true of Argentina , where similar conditions had prevailed , The ten dency of the market as 'a consequence ban bccti toward lower prices , Not onlV wag what was regarded as the principal sustaining factor of the market , the drouth , removed , but thcro was a very perceptible Increase In fitocka and this , too , In spite of the heavy European demand for our wheat. The In crease of nearly 2,600,000 bushels In the world's visible supply camp as a stunner to the bulls and caused liquidation by many of the smaller holders and local professionals , The ticuilstent strength ofthe Paris market and tiurchiuice of wheat hero for shipment to France attracted attention and helped the general situation somewhat. During the latter part of the week there were many Indications that the December option was being manipulated and the belief was expressed that a repetition of the recent July deal would soon eventuate. The sky rocket tactics of the market on Thursday showed a tcuik'ucx to scare away outsldi ; support and the market as a consequence suffered ye.terday. The clcee of the week finds December selling at a point 3 % cents lower than a week ago. May suffered a de cline of about 3 cents. HF.COHIJ OP THIS Y13M.OIV FKVItlt.

European military establishments have boon Interested for several months In a neA' pro cess of finishing armor plates perfected ut the Krupp works at Euson , Prussia. The process Is a secret thus far to the public , but Its use. It Is asserted , hardens the sur- fuco of a plate to a greater depth than the liarvcylzlng method.
