sand Dollar*.
Lincoln, Nab., July 2. —The cloud¬
burst, which flooded this vicinity- Sun¬

perienced here and caused properTy

makes a very satisfactory corn fertil¬
izer, but it will notedo for cotton.”

The Only Absolute Cure Ever Discovered for Chronic Rheumatism.
What it is:
J*n»*k* Rheumatic Care was first placed
upon the market by Mr. Patrick Scars, a
druggist of Arthur, Illinois, ft soon won
• wide reputation in Ceul.vl Illinois be-
caateof its remarkable cures,The severest
cues of Chronic Rhcumatisnf yielded to a
lew bottles of the-new femedy. People
who had suffered agoniowfor twenty years
and tried every known medicine, as well
as the most famous mineral springs, with¬
out Jamaica rettlvng Rheumatic any benefit, Care were cured by
stayed cared. * — and they
After a thorough investigation we be¬
came convinced that Jamaica Rheumatic
other Care remedy possessed greater merits than any
for rheumatism ever placed
consclenciously upon the market, recommended and that it could be
to the tuf.
fering. We therefore accepted an offer
from Mr. Scars, and putekased the for*
mu? t - J the exclusive right to -nanufac-
ture and sell Jamaica Rheumatic Cart
in this and foreign countries. '
Jamaica Rheumatic Cure i* not a "mi-
raculous It discovery’ is scientific ’ nor the result of a
dream. a compound of
those medicines which have been proved
to be the best remedies for rheumatism.
It combines the best of these remedies
in what patient research and * long
course of experiments havqjproved to be
exactly the right proportions to faring the
desired result. You might take each jet
these ingredients separately, or cot
them in the wrong proportions

This great remedy contains neither
Opium, * Laudanum, Salycilate Cocaine, Salycilie
Acid not of Soda—all of which
are nearly poisons, all usually depended upon by
so-called rheumatic cures to
deaden the pain. These narcotics never
cure any disease—they relief, can afford only
momentary and the troubles are
eventually made worse.
Jamaica Rheumatic Cure isytot^a cheap
nostrum or “cure-all.” It does just
whst we claim for it, and no more. It
cost* more to make than any other 1 med¬
icine* en the market. It it made not
aimply powerful to sell, but to cure. It is*strong,
the good effect rpedicine and yon begin feeling

While Jamaica is not claimed to be a
quick pain reliever, in some cases it re¬
lieves the pain in a few days, while in
others it takes longer. Many severe cases
have been cured with from one to three
bottles. It is not claimed that this amount
will curs all cases. People differ, *nd
the disease also differs in its nature.
Hence the variation in the quantity re¬
quired. We have never yet tound a case
that could not be enred with from one to
six Lotties.
The only absolute cum ever discovered
for rheumatism and it* kindred diseases
is Jamaica Rheumatic Cure. It neutral¬
izes and dissolves the excesses of uric
acid in the blood. ’ It correct* »nd

St. Petersburg, July 2.—The deposi¬

full Intention of surrendering to the
first Japanese ship they should en¬
counter.
Their initial act was to order a
white flag prepared. The officers of
the staff of Admiral Rojestvensky and
the commander of the Bedovy make
a pitiable exhibition in trying to shift
the resposibility for the surrender to
each other.
Admiral Rojestvensky, though he
says he was dazed and out of his head
all the lime, enters a manly plea of
guilty, because he took no measures
to prevent the surrender.
