VOL IX What the Editor Heard. A STORY FROM CAYL’GA CO., N. Y. Bllaa Prnnrll, of N'lJe,. N. T., Telia of a miracle of tlie Nineteenth Centory. (»om the Cayuga Co., K. I'., Independent.) Hearing through Menfrii. Allen A Burch, druggist* of that Mr. Silas Z. Pen- Bell, a citizen of that town had been cured of a bad we of sciatic rheuma tism by the u»e of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, the editor of the Cayuga County Independent deleiniined to know the truth ot the matter and went out to Mica. Mr. Pennell ia a farmer and ha« a neat and comfortable home near Niles. We asked Mr. Pennell if it was true that he had been cured of a bad case of rh< umatism by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. He said that three years ago in August 1b1.4, he was seized with severe pains in the hip, just where the sciatic nerve is, which gradually ran down his leg trfaking life n misery to him but l.ot preventing him from doing some work on the farm, boon after he was loading hay when he slipped off the load and hit his hip on the wheel. After this he was worse, suffering great agony, and for some time was unable to do any work. He took such medicines ns his physician firescrihed and improved somewhat so that ie could help some around the farm again. About Thanksgiving time lie was helping to put away some, barrels of cider which he had made, when he strained himself and again bo came hcl|dess. He then tried another physician who felt confident of curing him nr the me of the electric battery and medi cines which he prescribed. But failure was the result, he got no better, and another physician was tried and treated him for _ inine time. By this time his whole body was' Effected. Sharp pains would start in his hand or foot, run up one side of his body, over bi t shoulders and then down the other side and then pass off for a short time. These pains would return regularly, affect- ’ ing his whole body, and nothing seemed to relieve him and he began to despair of ever being well. In the spring of 1892 a relative In another county read of a case very simi lar to Mr. Pennell’s, which had been cured by Pink Pills, and sent the article to him, asking if it did not suit his case. It was ▼cry similar and he determined to try them. He commenced taking Pink Pills and soon felt bettar, the pains became less violent with longer intervals between them. He felt encouraged and persevered in their use and soon became able to work on the farm, ■nd in April or Muy he felt so free from pain that he considered himself a well man again. . He says he has probably taken 20 boxes and able to do as good a day’s work as «ny other man, and we can say that he looks like a hale and hearty man who had never known sickness. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain nil the elements necessary to give new life and rich shirs to the blood and restore shuttered nerves. They are for sale by all druggists, or may be had by mail from Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y., for 600. per box, or six boxes for $2.60. BREAKFAST-SUPPER.

MILLIONS FOR DEFENSE, i The Strength of the Navy Is Largely Increased. FOUR OF THE BEST SHIPS Afloat to Be Constructed As Rap idly As Possible—Also Fif teen Torpedo Boats. Washington, March 25.—The house today took up the naval ap propriation bill and, despite seve ral diverting incidents, made such rapid progress with it that when the adjournment was reached all the paragraphs had been passed save those relating to the increase of the navy. The bill carries $31,- til 1,031 —$2,168,438 more than the current law, and authorizes four new battleships and fifteen torpe do boats, the cost of which com plete will bo almost $25,000,000.

A printed slip pasted to the pa per kindly requested us if we said anything about the candidate’s candidacy to send him a marked copy of the paper. Wo didn’t do it. We ain’t going to do it. We ain’t saying a word. We ain’t going to say a word. Unless The cash is in sight. And we can see the smiling of the Goddess of Liberty on one side of the dollar of our dad’s and count the tail feathers in the great A mcrican eagle on the other. In times past we have given a way columns of paper and reams of paper and great gobs of ink in a political campaign. And what did we got in return? Nothing but the privilege of wa ding in the mud behind the band wagon and spilling coal oil on our only coat and getting shot on the tie with a Roman candle. But times have changed and our feelings have changed. Everything has changed except our pockets. There is no change there. We are a democrat, but wo ain’t no pack mule to carry no candi dates into office and get the cold shoulder. And perhaps the cold mutton after the election. Our enthusiasm is gone. It has leaked through the holes in our elbows and escaped through the apertures in our pants. Glory is a good thing, but cold cash is better. Campaign thunder will no long reverberate throughout these col umns except at so much per thun der.—Louisiana Press. Food, undigested, is poison. Di gested, it is life and strength. Millions of us suffer from indiges tion, but we often don’t know it. We think it is something else. Even doctors often mistake the symptons. Pale, thin people who are over worked, who need strength, who seem in want of proper food, should take Shaker Digestive Cordial. It |is astonishing what food will do when properly digested. It will make you strong, revive you, refresh you, sustain you, make you fat, iestore your color, make muscle, brain fibre, course, endu rance, energy; increase your pow er to ehrow off disease and keep you healthy and happy. Indigestion does just the oppo site, but indigestion can be cured and prevented with Shaker Diges tive Cordial. Sold by druggists. Trial bottle 10 cents. Increased Cotton Acreage.

It is so hard to see the heart ] broken parents and the lonely lit , tie sister gathering again in the ! home made desolate by the absence iof the little one that brought so ] much joy and sunshine, but it is a ] great consolation for the sorrowing ] n nes. to know that one who has left ]so many sad hearts below has re ceived a joyful we’come in that bright and happy home above. He was laid to rest beside the body of the aged grandfather, who had just preceded him to tho other world, in Perennial Springs cemetery. Words cannot describe the gloom ■ that this sad event has cast over ! all in this community, nor how strong a warning it brings to us who are living that we should be prepared for the great change. The burial service was conducted by Bev. Jesse Hunt. It was short and brief, but sufficient to make many tearful eyes.

A section of Twenty-sixth street New York, daily enjoys sensations similar to those caused by a con stant succession of earthquake shocks. Everything in the vicin ity trembles as if suffering from a mild attack of the ague. It is really perpetual motion. There is a clubhouse in this sec tion, right in the center of tho trembling district. A recent visi * tor, one who had not been there j before, noticed that objects on the ! mantel or elsewhere always moved i slightly, and that he himself felt ; a strange vibration. The friend with whom he was ' dining laughed at his uneasiness. ] “Its always that way here,” he said. “Its only a little shake, perhaps the hundredth part of an inch, but its’s perpetual. Some day I fear the building will shake to pieces all at once, just like the ‘wonder ful one boss shay.’ The cause? Oh, it’s that electric light plant opposite—engines and dynamos j running all the time. Enough : steam power is exerted to blow- the ] block to Jericho —enough electri ] city generated to light a square ] mile brilliantly every night. All the houses around here shake. “I remember when this block was a most exclusive residential neighborhood. Now at least half of it—the half that shakes most — is given over to small shops and cheap theatrical boarding houses. There’s one pleasant aspect, how ever to this vibration. Then tho clubman performed a pleasing experiment. He reques ted the caterer to bring him a glass of milk, some rum, ice and sugar. These he blended, after which he placed the glass upon the window sill. “In three minutes,” said the clubman, “it will be a perfect milk shake.” It was no exaggeration. The vi bration, though annoying, at least supplied one want. —New York I World. THEY PRAY FOR JAKE. And They Included A Rome Lawyer In Their Petition. JHEY fIRE~FROM BOSTON. And Have Come to Georgia On A Mission Os Mercy And Reform. Two Boston women, of the school inarm variety created a sen sation in the oflice of Principal Keeper Turner of the penitentiary department Saturday, one of them falling on her knees and offering up a fervent prayer for the salva tion of the people of the state of Georgia for allowing convicts to be worked beneath the summer sun in such a shocking manner. It happened in this way. Mr. Jake Moore, the assistant keeper of tho penitentiary, was sitting in the office conversing with Mr. Hal stead Smith, the well-known law yer of Romo, when two maiden la dies of the vintage of 1850 came in and announced that they were from Boston and had come down here to try and better the condition of the poor covicts who were slaving away their time in tho penitentia ry, especially those who were black. She asked for passes to visit the different camps in the state, and they were supplied by Mr. Moore. One of the callers, the one hav ing a most sanctified appearance, asked Mr. Moore who he was, to which he replied that he was the assistant keeper of tho penitentia ry- , “And who is that?” she asked turning her glassed eyes toward Mr. Smith. “That madam,” said Mr. Moore, “is Mr. Halstead Smith, a lawyer from Rome,” “Let us pray,” cried the woman and falling on her knees she offer ed up a fervent prayer asking God’s blessing upon the people of this state and to open their eyes to the great wrong they were doing in al lowing tho present convict system with all its abuses to stand, and she prayed that God would bless the assistant keeper and the law yer, and when she concluded she bowed herself and companion out of the office. Mr. Moore says tho woman never thought of praying until he an nounced that she was in the pres ence of a Rome lawyer and then she thought it was time to pray. During the winter-of 1893, F. M, Martin, of Long Reach, West Va., contracted a severe cold which left him with a cough. In speak ing of how he cured it he says: “I used several kinds of cough syrup but found no relief until I bought a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, which relieved me almost instantly, and in’ a short time brought about a complete cure.” When troubled with a cough or cold use this remedy and you will not find it necessary to try several kinds before you get relief.

The Country Editor. 1 he country editor is a combina tion of a city newspaper. His sphere of usefulness, although not so übiquitous, is quite as important as that of the great con temporaries. His single weekly paper is in min iature the seven issues per week of the great dailies. His constituen cy is often the most moral and high-minded to be found in the do main of history. Ho reaches the homes of brain and brawn that send to the colleges and cities the great, well balanced men of the age. Ho may not uproot scandal, expose corruption, tear down relig ious and political parties, create empires or crush dynasties, but ho reaches and influences the major ity of the army of boys, who in af ter years, fight tho groat batt Io of life in tho pulpit, at the bar, in tho hospital, and even become his most distinguished co-workers in jour nalism. The country editor may take wood and potatoes for his subscrip tion price, but he never lies about his circulation. He may mention in detail tho process of construc tion of country barns and tho in tervisitation of- unimportant bumpkins, but ho makes no at tempts to build his fortune on scandals, broken homes, nasty twaddle, ami undue prying into private life. He may write wretch ed English and deplorable gram mar but ho never talks about “in ndcuous desflfttude” and “master ful’ efforts. He may publish three pages of patent insides to one of the original matter, but he never steals tho news and brains of oth ers because a geographical differ ence of time favors his location. He may set his own type and turn the crank of his own press, but ho never scales down the wages of his employes, nor treats printers like cattle nor pays starvation wages to reporters. He may deplore cer tain local usages and want of ap preciation of his columns by busi ness men, but ho never pursues people who have no means to reply with vindictive hate, with vile car toons and outrageous persecutions to tho grave. Hois not a life wrecker, nor a family wreckc r, nor a scandal monger, nor a party po litical poltroon, nor a bribe taker, nor a washer of dirty linen.
