The claim of other cough medicines to

ally set at rest in the following testi
monial of Mr. U. D. Glass, an employe
of Bartlett & Dennis Co., Gardiner, Me.
He says : "I had kept adding to a cold
and cough in the winter of 1S97, trying
every cough medicine I heard of without
permanent help, until one day I was in
the drug store of Mr. Houlehan Bud he
advised me to try Chamberlain's Cough
Ketnedy and ottered to pay back my
money if I was not cured. My lungs ant1
bronchial tubes were very sore at thie
time, but I was completely cured by
this remedy, and have elnce always
turned to it when 1 got u cold, and coon

Landslide on Astoria Itoad.
Ahtoria. O., Feb. 5. There was a
landslide on the Astoria & Columbia
River railroad this morniug about 1,'.
miles west of Clifton. The trackwalker
discovered it before the arrival of the
train, so no nccident resulted. A con
struction gang was soon at work, and In
a few hours n temporary track was laid
around the elide. This is at the same
place that so many slides have occurred,
and now there is very little of the mount
ain left to cause further trouble.

THEIR CONFIDENCE
IN BULLER
British Public Has Now Forgotten
Its An cr.
NewYobk, Feb. 6. While London
has received no news from Natul and no
direct war news from Cape Colony, the
feeling of confidence continues and grows
stronger. No one seems to doubt that
General Buller is making a third attempt
to relieve Ladysmlth. So sure do the
people seem to be that British arms will
in the end triumph, that even that if
General Buller were again unsuccessful,
there would be no such outcry as fol
lowed his previous failures, for any
heavy loss inflicted on the Boers is a
decided British gain.
The tide of British opinion turned
with the report from Spearman's camp
that General Joubert had only 19,000
between Buller's army and Ladysmlth,
and the statement by Mr. Wyndham
that the British would eoon have 213,000
troops in South Africa. General BulUr
has been heavily reinforced with men
and guns; additional regiments have
been Bent to the foaces operating in Cape
Colony, and 13,000 men are about to sail
from England for the Cape. It is realized
that the English must win by sheer force
of overwhelming numbers, if not by
superior fighting capacity.
Resource of the Iioers.
Washington, Feb. 0. By way of prep
aration for the great struggle now in
progress, the Boers in the year 1898
bought from France alone, guns, swords,
carbines, pistols, cartridges, lead, zinc,
powder caps, fuses etc. to the invoiced
value of $386,000, according to a report ot
the state department from United States
Consul Covert at Lyons. The consul
quotes his figures from a recent report
of the French consul-generaT in the
Transvaal on the resources of that
country. He adds that it is probable
several times this sum was imported in
arms, of which no account was taken.
J. I. Bevry, Loganton, Pa., writes, i
am willing to taku my oath that I was
cured of pneumonia entirely by tho ute
ol One Minute Cough Curejafter doctors
failed. It also cured my children of
whooping cough." Quickly relieves
and cures coughs, colds', croup, grippe
and throat and lung troubles. Children
all like it. Mothers endorse it.
As a cure for rheumatism Chamber
Iain's Pain Balm is gaining a wide repu
tation. D. B. Johnston of Richmond,
Iud has been troubled with that ail
ment since 1862. Iu speaking of it he
says: "I never found anything that
would relieve me until I used Chamber
lain's Pain Balm. It acts like magic
with me. My foot was swollen and
paining me very much, but one good
application of Pain Balm relieved me.
For sale by Blakeley & Houghton,
"One Minute Cough Cure is the best
remedy I ever used for coughs and
colds. It is unequalled for whooping
cough. Chrildreii all like it," writes H.
N. Williams, Gentryville, Ind. Never
fails. It is tne only harmless remedy
that gives itr mediate results. Cures
coughs, colds, hoarness, croup, pneu
monia, bronchitis and all throat and
lung troubles, Its eaily uso prevents
consumption.
Clarke & Falk's flavoring extracts are
