I saw an advertisement of Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, which seemed to fit my case, so I decided to try that before I its use.

The Mining Bulletin The last two number of the Min ing Bulletin of the Pennsylrania Rtnte GrileRe contain some rery in teresting information regarding the probabilities of our Commonwealth in petroleum which shows that the dtoeks of oil have materially decreas ed ; that the result of the new works have fallen off, that the production hns decreased, while at the same time onr shipments abroad and our consumption have increased. It is shown that the shipment of the Lima-Indiana oil have now reached those of our own state and it is hoped, though there seems no brill iant prospoct for it, that Pennsyl vania may recover her possession ns an oil producer. That the con sumption will increase is no doubt, but will the production meet it? We are experiencing no serious competition from the Russian or western oil, ns America produces the best llluminant. There should, therefore, be a stimulus to onr western countries and all trades de pendant on oil. The Standard oil oompany offers 65 conts a barrel, and in the speculative markets 77 cents can be had. The producer's day Isoomingand again should we have the busy prospector and blooming days of oil. Lima oil is crowding Pennsyl vania very hard and last month shipped daily within 300 barrels as much as Pennsylvania. We hope to hear from Bradford and Roaring Creek again, as with cash oil at 60 cents and hiirhor indications, the times are improving. Author of "Nearer, My Ood, To Thee." Mrs. 8ft rah Flower Adams was the authoress of the grand hymn. This lady was born in Cambridge, Eng land, in the month of February, 1805, Her father was the editor of a week ly Cambridge paper, and the same au thority informs us that her mother was a woman of fine gifts and cul ture. The sweet hymn-writer was the youngest child, and was early noted for the taste which she manl fosted In literature, and later in life for great zeal and earnestness in her religious life. She is said to have contributed both prose and verse to the periodicals of her day, and to have her criticisms in art matters highly esteemed. She wrote a cat echism for children, which was pub lished in the year 1842. She married young, was of fair constitution, but was always, even with many creat ure complaints, very busy with her literary labor. At just what time and under what circumstances she wrote the great hymn is not known. It was first published in 1841, but the authoress never knew the fame which the sacred song brought her. Mrs. Adams died at the age of 44, and since then the linos she penned have been singing themselves round the world. The war prospeots have set people thinking about how money is to be obtained for war expenses. The first and most gratifying develop, ment in this particular is the discov ery that the United States has more money in circulation to-day than at any time in its history, the total money in circulation being 1,756,058,645, or 1246,000,000 more than at the date of the Chicago con vention, which declared that no ma terial inorease in our currency could be had without the free and unlimit ed coinage of silver. It is also dis covered that the money on deposit in the National, State, and savings banks is greater than ever before, and thus people would be in excel lent condition to respond to a call for a popular loan in case of necessity Story of Kilkenny Cats That two cats fought in a saw-pit so ferociously, that when the battle was over, only the tail of each was left. This is an allegory of the municipalities of Kilkenny and Irish town, who contended so stoutly about boundaries and rights, to the end of the seventeenth oentury.that they mutually improverished eaoh other ate up each other, leaving only a tail behind. The Origin of Let the Cat Out of the Bag". It was formerly a trick among the oountry people in England to sub stitute a cat for a sucking pig and bring it in a bag to market. If any greenhorn chose to buy a"pig in iKke" without examination, all very won, but if he opened the sack,"he let the out out of the bag," and the trick was disclosed. "I feel it my duty to give you a truthful statement of what Cham jerlain's Colic, Cholera and Dia rrhoea Remedy did," writes J. S. Collins, of Moore, S. C. "I had a child about two years old, that had the diarrhoea for two months. I tried the best known remedies, but none gave the least relief. When this remedy came to hand, I gave it an directed, and in two days the child was oompletly cured." Sold by druggists and general merchants 111 Pike County. The Delay In Confreea Beneficial. We are Better Prepared Sow. War Mkeljr To Begin Soon. The Army Massed at Chink, manga Park. Washiwqtok, D. C, April 18, 1898. President Mo Kinley did no fret ting because Congress took a whole week to act upon his message on armed intervention in Cuba, while the general expectation was that the business would be done in two days at the outside 1 he knows what re sponsibility is. That the delay has been beneficial to this government may be seen from the following lan guage, nsed by a member of the Cab inet to an impatient friend who was repeating the argument nsed on all sides against the apparent tardiness both of Congress and the President : "Nobody has the remotest idea how unprepared we were when Con gress made the appropriation of $50,000,000. As a matter of fact, there were not five rounds of ammu nition In a fortified place in the oountry, and the ships did not have ammunition enongh to fight any thing. We were simply ready in an amateurish manner. The President was shocked when he learned the full foots. A knowledge of these facts had as much to do with making him cautious as a desire to avoid war. Had this oountry been forced into war three weeks ago, we might have gotten the worst of things for awhile. I think we are now about ready and can give an account of ourselves." These words should be considered by the hair-trigger indi viduals who blame the President for not rushing into war weeks ago. Just when hostilities will begin Is still a matter of some doubt, al though it must necessarily be soon. The House is to-day considering the intervention resolution adopted by the Senate, which recognizes the independence of the present govern ment of Cuba and otherwise differs from that adopted by the House. It is expected that an agreement will be reached sometime to-day, or to morrow at the outside and the res olution be sent to the President, al though there is some talk of the pos sibility of a deadlock between the House and Senate. Nothing official has been said about the programme that will be followed after the res olution reaches the President, but the statement is made upon good authority that the President will make a demand upon Spain to evac uate Cuba and will grant one or two days for the answer. This will be largely for form sake, as it is already praotically certain that Spain will refuse, and will probably accom pany the refusal with a message of deflanoe. Then the naval forces of the country will be put in motion and the first steps taken towards driving the Spaniards out of Cuba, while the troops now being hurried as fast as steam can carry them to wards convenient points of embark, ation will be got in shape to be rush ed over to Cuba just as soon as the floet has captured a desirable loca tion on the island for them to be landed. Once landed the war will be pushed to a speedy and victorious end both on land and on water. Naval officials smile at sensational predictions of damage that will be done to our oommeroe by Spanish privateers. Instead of having any fears on that score, they think that we shall have so many fast and for midable auxiliary cruisers on the seas that any Spanish privateer that gets far f romhome will be extremely fortunate if it escapes destruction or capture by some of them. The Spanish are not ignorant of onr preparation in this line, and they are not likely to go as extensively into the privateering business in re ality as our sensationalists have mode them go in imagination. . The massing of practically three fourths of the regular army about 18,000 men at Chiokamauga Park. New Orleans, Mobile, and Tampa, is the first open move towards the military occupation of Cuba. The plan of campaign is all mode out, but so well has the secret been kept that no person, not an official, can positively say whether these reg ulars will have militia assistance in their invasion of Cuba or not. The general impression is, however, that they will, and that a call lor volun teers from the militia will be issued by President McKinley within ' 48 hours of the moment his signature is attached to the joint resolution authorizing forcible intervention in Cuba. It is understood, but not officially, that the President has de cided to adopt the plan of calling for volunteer militiamen rather than one calling upon eaoh state to furnish its quota of the number of men desired, and that the organ izations which volunteer first are to be accepted regardless of the states from which they come. According to estimates maae by war Depart ment officials, more than 2,000,000 volunteers have been offered to the government, which is about twenty times more men than anyone expects to oe neoaoa. "The Issue Is now with the Con gress, it Is a solemn responsibility. I have exhausted every effort to re lieve the intolerable condition of affairs whioh is at our doors. Pro pared to execute every obligation Imposed upon me by the Constitution and the law, I await your action." President Mo Kinley to-Cong reap on Cuban question, April 11, 1898. "The only hope of relief and re pose from a condition which can no longer be endured, is the enforsod pacification of Culm. In the n ;ie of humanity, in the name of civilization in behalf of injured American inter ests which give ns the right hnd duty to speak and act, the war in Cuba must stop." From President Mc Kinley 's messnge, April 11,1898. The two year-old son of W. L. Furgason of Bolton, Miss., hnd whooping rough. "After several physicians had prescrilwd for him, without giving jeliof," writes Mr. Fergason, "I persunded my wife to try a 25cent bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The first dose had the desired effect, and in forty-eight hours he was entirely free from all cough. I consider your remedy the best in the market, especially for children, and recommend it at all times." The 25 and 60 cent sizes for sale by druggist and general merchants in Pike County Harness?
