The ground has Itren evened by an experi

entire distance , so that there will be no lack
of material to drive the tunnel as rapidly as
possible Three shifts of men will be em

There is only one tray to get rid of Rheumatism. It is un
disputed thai it is a blood disease , but it is &uch an obstinate
one that the many blood touics ou tie market hare no effect
upon it , because the disease is beyoud their reach. S. S. S.
is the only remedy that can cure Rheumatism , as it is a real
blood Tcvwdy , and is made to cure all deep seated blood diseases
which are bej'ond the reach of other remedies.
A few years ago I was t&ken with inflummator ) Rheuma
tism , which , though mild at first , became gradually tso intense
that I was for weeks unable to walk. I
tried wveral prominent physicians bnt
tvaj > unable to get the slightest relief ; the
pain spread over my enure body , and for
six months I Buffered egonj. I tried
many patent inedieines.Txit none relieved
me. I then decided to try S. S. S. , but
before allowing me to take it , my guard
ian , who was B chfttnipt , analyzed the
medicine , and pronounced it free frofa
potash and mercury. I felt so much
better after taking two bottles , that I
continued the remeay , und in tw o months
I was cured .completely. The cure was
permanent , for I have never since hud & touch of Khoumtt- ,
tism though many times exposed to damp and oold weather.

Those who experiment \rith various so-called rheumatic
euros do BO at their own expense , for the disease IB getting a
firmer hold on them all the while. It is foolish to expect liniments
PE
ments or lotions to do any good , for tha disease is in the blood ,
and , of course , can not be reached by local applications.
Swift's Specific ( S. S. S. ) has made some remarkable cures
of Rheumatism. It is the best blood remedy known , and
promptly goes down to the very cause of the trouble and
forc&a it from the system. A trial will prove that it is tbe
proper remedy for even the most obstinate case. S. S. S. is
purely-vegetable , and is the only blood remedy guaranteed to con
tain no mercury , potash or other mineral.

CHICAGO. Nov. 27. The past week has
been a very slow one In tie wheat market ,
which most of the time presented a decidedly
holiday appearance. So ptarnant , indeed was
tradltg at times that the t-cattered scalplcg
operations and a little buying and selling by
tbe December bull crowd constituted almost
the entire business. Since Monday tbe trend
of the market iai been upward , and closing
prices yesterday in May. tbe leading future ,
fhowod un advance of U2&j , cents. In
tils tie etrengti displayed by Lljerpool
played no email part- Interest In tie Decem
ber deal is growing us the end of tbe month
approaches , and shorts are evidently getting
very anxious at the increasing difficulty to
cover. The opinion tiat December It cor
nered was strengthened by tbe spasmodic
action of the market for liat option jester-
dsy , when the price jumped to a dollar
before It was possible to purchase any. There
was a.marked narrowing of the spread be
tween December and May early In tie week.
This wae due to tie enormous receipts at
tie two northweit receiving points on that
day , -which started quite lu-avy selling of
December. But In tbe struggle to cover December -
cember yesterday May and December were
celling at one time at 7 cents difference
Tbe range for May was between bS"and
SOXj cents selling at lie low point on Mon
day , while tbe high figures were reached
