Key West, Fla., May 22. —A- nother Cuban hospital horror is re ported from the southern part of Santa Clara province. The hos pital consisted of three buildings near the town of Micacarauga There were about thirty-five woun ded insurgents in the buildings, at tended by four physicians and sev eral women nurses. The Spanish guerrillas came upon the place at the dead of night and without warning set the place on fire. The physicians and convalescent men about the place rushed to the doorsand windows to save the more severely injured of the in mates. The guerriPas fired on em, killing the insurgents, and then as the wounded insurgents staggered or crept to the doors and windows they were ruthlessly shot down. The women nurses were all saved from instant death, but no trace has been found of them since. A courier brought the news to Santa Clara, from whence it reach ed the Havana junta. It is said that the scene was one of the ut most horror. “There’s no use in talking,”says W. H. Broadwell, druggist, La Cygne, Kas,, “Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy does the work. After taking med icines of my own preparation and those of others, I took a dose of Chamberlain’s and it helped me; a second dose cured me. Candidly and conscientiously I can recom mend it as the best thing on the market.” The 25 and 50 cent sizes for sale by H. 11. Arrington. Not a Canard. The story Boating around town and made much of in the last issue of our esteemed contemporary to the effect that wo were mobbed over at Grass Valley the other night, is not a canard. We were at Grass Valley, and if being egged and shot at and chased for four miles signifies mobbing then we were mobbed. We were invited to go over there and deliver our cele brated lecture on : “Man His Per fections and Imperfections.” Os the 400 men at Grass Valley we don’t believe there are three per fect ones. There are more knock kneed, squint-eyed, hump-backed critters to the square foot in that town than anywhere else in Ameri ca, and we had the sand to say so when we reached the “Imperfec tions” in our lecture. Others lect urers, would have lied about it and tickled those slab sided kyotes half to death, but we gave em facts and came near losing our life in conse quence ; 14 eggs hit us in chorus before our wheels began to revolve, and it seemed as if every man in town had a shot at us as we were .climbing into the saddle. How many mounted and followed after we cannot guess, but our mule realized the situation and made no jumps of less than 14 feet. No, it is no canard. We were mobbed and driven out, and we shan’t vis it that town again until we are tired of life and ready to hang.— Arizona Kicker. Hundreds of thousands Fave been induced to try Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy by reading what it has done for others, and having tested its merits for themselves are to-day its warmest friends.

This was at prayer meeting. On another oc- I casion I preached to 856 men 'and • 3 women—this was at the state penitentiary” TO CUT PROCUCTION. Movement Among Leading New England Concerns to Cnitail Their Output. Boston, May 26.—A movement which is expected to develop into a more or less curtailment of the production cf New England cotton mills will be inaugurated next month by the mills of the Dwight Manufacturing company, at Chico pee, Mass.; the Lyman company, Holyoke, Mass., and the Great Falls Manufacturing company at Som mesworth, N. H. The officials of these mills give as reasons for this step, the present unsatisfactory state of the cotton goods market. All the mills in question are engaged in the manu facture of sheeting, shirting and drills, are capitalized in the aggre gate of $4,170,01 0 and operate 320.000 spindles and about 90,000 looms. The entailment will probably last during june, July and Au gust. A Valuable Prescription .

Dallas, May 26.—Nothing but glorious reports are received con cerning the crops of every portion of Texas. It is claimed that a great many fields in this and other countries will make one hundred bushels of oats to the acre, forty and fifty bushels of wheat and fifty 7 to sixty bushels of corn. In those divisions of western and north-western Toxas, outside the Agricultural belt and mostly devo ted to grazing, there are the finest prospects in thirty years. Not a great deal was planted in grain, but what was is showing an astonishing yield. The harvesting of wheat and oats has comenced and farm hands are in brisk de mand at $1 per day. The task of havesting the crop is herculean and barn and crib room far less than the demand. These fine crop prospects have renewed hope and confidence throughout Texas. Men in busi ness believe the turning point lias been reached after six years of ad versity, depression and misfor tune. Mr. Isaac Horner, proprietor of the Burton House, Burton, W. V., and one of the most widely known men in the state was cured of rheu matism after three years of suffer ing. He says: “I have not suffi cient command of language to con vey any idea of what I suffered, my physicians told me that nothing could be done for me and my friends were fully convinced that nothing but death would relieve me of my suffering. In June, 1894, Mr. Evt-im, then salesman for the Wheeling Drug Co., recommended Chamber lain’s Pain Balm. At this limo foot and limb were swollen to more than double their normal size and it seemed to me my leg would burst, but soon after I began us ing the Pain Balm the swelling be gan to decrease, the pain to leave, and now I consider that I am en tirely cured.
