Russia and France.
London, Oct. 23. Sensational rumors
of t!iu designs of foreign powers, ininii
eiul to British intereats, meet with
scant credence, though It is admittedly
difficult to explain the immonse force on
land which Great Britain Is now mobil
izing. In Vienna, it is roported the
British naval movements are due to a
rumor that Kussia, with the OBsent of
Franco, is about to acquire from Spain
Ceutn, or some other naval station on
tiio African coast. Elsewhere it is
stated tiio movements of the French
Mediterranean fleet in the neighborhood
of the Levant, where it could easily be
joined by the Kussia Black sea fleet, via
the Strait b of Dardanelles, is occassion
iug auspicion.
Great Display of Valor.
London, Oct. 23.--The British victor
icB in Natal following each other in
(prick succession, though accompanied
by heavy losses on the side of the vlctorB
vhi:li bear striking testimony to the
vulurof the vanquished Boers. They
nppc.ir to have fallen victims to the
very plun which they counted on to
drive the British into the sea.
They have been beaten iu details by
countor8troko8, carefully considered und
brilliantly carried out, in the face of
courageous opposition, which has ilono
much to increase Britisli respect for the
burghers, whoso splendid valor and de
termination, it is universally admitted,
reached the highest level.
Fuller accounts of Saturday's battle at
F.UndHlaag emphasises the splendid
gallantry exhibited on both side and the
superiority of tho British in pitched
battle, although the Boers fought with
the greatest tonacity to tho last, only
yielding whou further fighting was
hopeless.
Three Hundred Boers Killed.
Ci.k.s'cok Cami-, Oct. 22. (Delayed in
transmission), 12:20 p. in. Tho attack
made by Boer forces, under General Lu
cas Meyers, on the British position Sat
ordny, enabled the British forces to
ecore anothor signal success. The Boer
column was driven pell-moll over tho
plains, losing over three hundred killed
and wounded. In addition, the British
captuied several hundred horses and
made many prisoners, who aro being
well cared for.
The Boer hospital has been taken un
der the wing of the British hospital
corps, as tho Boers had only a singlo
doctor with a primitive atafl', who was
quite tumble to cope with the wounded.
As it has been raining all night long,
nd the weather is heavy and luUty.it
is hardly expected tho Boers will make
mother attack today.

where an attempt will be made to restore

During the winter of 1897 Mr. James
Heed, one of the leading citizens and
merchants of Clay, fjly Co., W. Va.,
struck liiH leg against cuke of ice in
such a manner as to bruise it severely.
It became very much swollen und pained
him so badly that he could not walk
without tho aid of crutches. He was
treated by physicians, nlso used several
kinds of liniment and two and a half
gallons of whiskey in bathing it, but
nothing gave any relief until lie began
using Chamberlain's Pain Balm. This
brought almoBt a complete cure in a
week's time and ho believes that bad he
not used litis remedy his leg would have
had to be amputated. Pain Balm is un
equal ml for sprainB, bruises and rheu

it incurable. Science has proven catarrh
tobe a constitutional disease, ami there
