( ? c Male on the Stables. A mule at the stables of the Lancaster Mercantile conpany, while loose one day last week, walked up the gangway that leads to the upper floor of the stables, jumped off on to the rool to the right. and marched up to something like halfway the building. Some fear was appre hended of the roof breaking > through with the animal, but after taking a view of the city the mule tremblingly wended its way back down the roof to the . gangway and on to the ground without injury. A Convincing Answer. i "I hobbled into Mr. Hlackmon's drug store one evening," says Wesley Nelson, of Hamilton, Us., "and he asked nre to try Chamberlain's l'ain Balm , for rhpiiniHtism with which I had suf, fered for a long time. I told him I had no faith in any medicine aa they all i failed. He said: 'Well if Chamberlain's Tain Balm doe* not help you, 1 you need not pay for it.' I took a hot, tie of it home and used it according 1 to the direction* and in one week I wan cured, and have not Mince been troubled with rheumatism." Sold by ' J. F. Mackey ?fc Co.

Modder River, Feb. 19.?Gen'l. ?elly Kenny's division of infanty with a regiment of mounted ifles is still hanging on the rear i;uard of the retreating Boers. At ivery ravine, kopje or other natural means of defense the Rneru nake a brief stand and use their lght guns of which they have rery few, then they go on. At iach of these stands they abanioned huge piles of stores and immunition so that up to this ifternoon the British have capured over a hundred and fifty vagous and over fifteen hundred lead of oxen. Many of the wag ins are full of boxes of ammuution found addressed to the I'ransvaal government via Deligo Bay. This last fact, it is be leved, proves that the Boers are itill getting war supplies through Portuguese territory though they nay have been obtained before he war began.

The claim of other cough medicines to be as good as Chamberlain's are effectually set at rest in the following testimonial of Mr. C. D. Glass, an employe of Bartlett <fc Dennis Co., Gardiner, Me. He says: "I had kept adding to a cold and cough in the winter of 1897, trying every cough medicine I heard of without permanent help, until one day I was in the drug store of Mr. Uoulehan a ' he advised me to try Chamberlain's cough Remedy and offered to pay back my money if I was not cured. My lungs and bronchial tubes were very sore at this time, but I was completely cured by this remedy, and have since always turned to it whet. I got a cold, and soon find relief. I also recommend it to my friends and am glad to say it is the best of all cough medicines." For sale by J. F. Mackey & Co. TILLMAN'S TRIBUTE TO LINCO UL South Carolina Senator Praises Leader ot Union Cause During Speech in Congress. (From Mr. Tillman's Speech in the Senate January 2ft1 The condition in regard to slavery and the ceaseless agitation had embittered the South against the North and the North against the South. Secession and belief of states' rights, for which the oouin lias always contended, pre cipitated the conflict. The North fought to perserve the Union and to free the slave?, and the South fought for self government and the inherited belief in the holding slaves as property. The Declara tion of Independence was the slogan of both sections. The North contended that the Declaration embraced the negroes, while the South, remembering that JefTer son had been a slave-holder, contended that it did not. I was only a boy of 13 when the great struggle began, but who can forget, even though but a child, the angry outbursts, the battle cries that led up to the bloody contest! Amid the storm of passion who was the man, the embodiment of all that was best and noblest in Northern civilzation, and even in American civilization, who stood ? s L - i. i? - ** * *?

Who stood like a Colossus towering above the smaller, meaner mar who surrounded him, and whr must ever stand above them, com manding the admiration and love of all true men everywhere! Who? Abraham Lincoln, and I from South Carolina, tell you so and feel honored in doing it. Whatever motives may be at trihuted to others, whatever ol selfishness or ambition that en tared into t.ha r<#l<<iilafinno Al others, I here declare it is rm belief that he never had a thoughi in connection with the whole sub ject nor uttered a word that die not have its inspiration in th< purest patriotism and the noblesi aspiration for humanity. He did not consider the Declaration ol Independence and academic ques tion. It was to him a religion.
