Editors and Doctors.
(Exchange.)
The difference between an editor
and a doctor is that if the editor
makes a mistake he is asked to apoli-
gize for it; if the doctor makes one
he buries it. The doctor can use a
word a yard long without knowing
how to spell it or what it means, if
the editor uses it he has to spell it
If the doctor goes to see another man’s
wife he charges for it; if the editor
does the same thing he gets a charge
of buckshot. Any medical college can
make a doctor, but only the Lord can
make an editor, and the supply of
good ones is always short.
About Rheumatism.
There are few r diseases that inflict
more tortue than rheumatism and
there is probably no disease for which
such a varied and useless lot of rem
edies have been suggested. To say
that it can be cured is, therefore, a
bold statement to make, but Chamber
lain’s Pain Balm, which enjoys an
extensive sale, has met wtih great
success in the treatment of this dis
ease. One application of Pain Balm
will relieve the pain, and hundreds
of sufferers have testified to perma
nent cures by its use. Why suffer
when Pain Balm affords such quick
relief and costs but a trifle? For sale

Hotels Are Being Built and Fitted Up
With All Modern Sanitary Improve
ments—The Unskilled Laborers Are
Mostly Natives.
Chicago, April 26.—Speaking of the
actual physical work of build.ng the
Panama canal Mr. John F. Wallace,
chief engineer of the Panama commis-
sion said today that an organization
had already been formed embodying
a total of 8.000 men. Of this number
practically 6,000 men are enageged in
equipment and construction work, and
2,POO men are engaged in policing i..<
canal zone, and in sanitary work, ar.'i
in cleaning up the isthmus. This or
ganization will be rapidly increased
and has been increasing at the rate of
800 to 1,000 men a month.
Of the total number of men employ
ed, about 10 per cent are high-cla^t
men from the United States, and the
rest are mechanics, artisans and
borers that have been brought from
the nearby South American and Cen
tral American coasts, and from th
West Indian islands. There is a de
mand for men expert in the mechani
cal trades; for instance, steam shovel
men, draughtsmen,, enginemen, railway
track fort men, carpenters skilled in
heavy timber work and in the con
struction of dredges and bridges. In
addition to the repair of th eresidences
about 2,400 that were constructed by
the French, eight three story hotels
are b» ing constructed at various cen
ters of population, the purpose being
the accommodation, principally of the
unmarried American men engaged
the work. Two of the hotels are com
pleted. Material has been ordered
and arrang ments made for the re
maining six. The hotels are provided
with bathrooms and all modern neces
sary hotel appliances.
Up to date .seven American steam
shovels have been installed and ten
more are on the isthmus in course of
erection or are on the way there, an.;

cure and keeps the promise.

Arrested for Bigamy.
The latest development in the ro
mance of Dr. Kenyon V. Milliard was
his arrest at Orangeburg Friday on
the charge of bigamy. The arrest was
made by Chief of Police Fischer on
a warrant sworn out by Policeman
Sam Bozard on information and be- j
lief. As soon as the arrest was made
Dr. Millard was taken to the office of
Magistrate Brunson, where he was ex
amined. He was represented by Judge
James F. Izler. Dr. Millard was quite
indignant over his arrest, and was at
times dramatic in his expressions.!
After living an honorable life so far,
he said, it was bitter to think of being
“arrested and separated from his
beautiful flower.’’ Commitment pa
pers were made out and Dr. Millard i
was remanded to the custody of the,
police. He is at a boarding house un-,
der guard of the police, bail having
been fixed at $500 but not given.

“Mothers buy it for croupy child

found that I was not gaining my

could wish, and as your Wine of

good medicine for the ills of our

using it. 1 was satisfied with the
results from the use of the first

Man Is Unable to Remove It and Is
Crushed to Death.
Toledo, O., April 26.—Standing on
the railroad track with his foot caught
in a frog aud a long freight train up
proaching, Eimer Green, a switchnn
stood calmly and waited for death i
the Wheeling and Lake Erie yards r
the east en.i of Holmstead. Green was
struck by the engine and his body
thrown directly under the wheels r.
the entire train of 20 cars passed over
him.
Green was walking along the rai
road track when his foot was caught
in a frog, and while he was trying tc
release it the bright headlight on a
freight engine appeared and almost
blinded him. He worked vigorously
to release his foot when he realized
that the train was on the track on
which he was fastened, but all in vain.
As the train came closer he appeared
to realize that he was a doomed man,
and suddenly straightened himself up
and clasped his two hands together
above his head as though appealing tc
heaven to assist him. The next in
slant the train struck him.

Forget About Your Stomach.
If your digestion is bad the vital
organs of your body are not fed and
nourished as they should be. They
grow weak and invite disease. Ko

eat, cures indigestion and all stom
ach troubles. You forget you have
a stomach from the very day you be
gin taking it . This Is because It gets
a rest—recuperates and gradually
grows so strong and healthy that it
