convincing than the following
From Mr.. and Mrs. M. Gill, 81 w. Twelfth
Street, Chicago:
"Nearly ten months ago our daughter Katie
was stricken down with Sciatic Rheumatism
of the most violent nature. We employed
several physicians and each of them gave the
case careful attention, and all of them were
forced to acknowledge that the disease bafled
their skill. We tried various so-called renee
dies none of them gave the sufferer any relief.
The pain was so intense, and the contraction
of the limbs so severe that twelve pounds of
weight was attached to the ankle and worn
night and, day to counteract the shortening OF
the afflicted limb. Her suffering was terrible,
and at times it seemed impossible for her to
recover. June 18th, Katie saw an advertise
chased bottle, she took some of the medicine
that evening at seven O'Clock, and at ten
O'Clock took two teaspoonstul more She went
to sleep, and for the first time in ei0ht mouths
slept until morning agithom pain We were
so rejoiced that we considered it miraculous
and have continued using AthlOphoros ever
since, with remarkable success, We feel as
though we could not say enough in praise Of
Athlophoros, for it has done wonders for our
daughter You are at liberty to refer any one
to us to vouch for all the above.
c. R. Bruner, Urbana Ohio, writes:
ATHLoPHoBos is the best l ever tried. I
was down In bed so bad that 1 had to be turned
on sheet, and so gotta bottle of ATHLoPHo.
RIOS and began taking itat O'clock and was
suffering everything o man could suffer. I
took four doses of it, and got out of bed my
self and ate my supper, and the next morning
walked out to breakfast without canes"
Jed. Grigware, East Saginaw, Mich, writes:
81 had Rheumatism so severely that could
just hobble on crutches After taking half
bottle OF Athlophoros, laid my crutches asideo
have not had any pain since. Wouldn't take
S1O.uO for the balance Of the bottle"
J. c. Kinder, Burlington, Wis, writes:
81 took Athlophoros and am well of Rher-
matism. II is the most wonderful discovery
of the age"
Remarkable as are these cases,
hundreds of others, where the
suffering was as intense, have

Dear Sir: The recent ruling of the

ate the difficulty as much as possible
the Register and myself have deter.
mined to go back to the old system and
allow the witnesses to be sworn before
you as a Notary at your place, leaving
the parties to come here and make the
the several oaths required Of them. Ii
sou desire to adopt this system you can

Manager Hollingshead, of the Washingtons,
has returned from Cincinnati, where he went
to attend the meeting of the schedule commit
tee of the American association. He stopped
at Pittsburg on his way back, and secured
from Secretary Mcknight and the directors
of the Allegheny club the release of MIR.
Robert NJ. Barr, one of their pitchers, who
had signed contract with them for this sea-
sou. Mr.. Barr is a Washington boy, and,
beside being one of the most popular players
in the profession, is an excellent pitcher, bat
ter, and fielder.
His accession to the ranks OF the Washing
tons strengthens their team q great deal.
His services have been much sought for, and
eithor the Metropolitan or st. Louis clubs
would have gladly secured him had not the
WashinRtons got hold of him first. This
latest addition will give them three batteries
Barr, Trumbull, and Hamill, pitchers, and
HUMPHREYS, Morgan, and Beach, catchers.
Morgan played with the Alleghenies last
season, and Barr says he was the best catcher
who ever stood in front of him. He has
batted against Trumbull, and speaks Of him
as great pitcher, with more than the usual
speed and good headwork. Trumbull
pitched against the Alleghenies last year
when they were defeated by the Indianapolis
club, and but four hits were made on his
pitching,

Yesterday morning Thomas Slack, of Har-
ris Corners, Del, was met by a stranger near
the Baltimore and Potomac depot, who in
formed him that he was contractor on his
way to Atlanta, Ga, where he had some
money to pay, and had just learned that a
package had come for him by Adams express
marked &c. o. d." and he required $3S more
than he had to get it, and he would put up a
check for $50 for the loan until he could see
his friends. Mr.. Slack was suspicious
but at that point another stranger came up
and said he was Of the express company, and
told the other stranger of the package. Mr.
Slack passed over the 1913 and took the check,
and still holds it. Shortly afterward he came
to the conclusion that he was robbed, and
called upon Officer Lamb, but it was useless
as the men had disappeared. One of the men
is about ieet 7 or : inches in height, with
full sandy whiskers, attired in dark clothes,
and black derby. The other is about feet
inches in height, of rather stout build, and
with gray side whiskers.

Jrcmmt warns Russian mothers Of a new re-
lisious see which has given several proofs of
its existence. In Rostov, on the Don, an
officer engaged IA middle aged nurse for his
three -year-old sou. She was very attentive
and seemed fond Of the child, but after two
months she suddenly left the situation and
the town. The child began to all the very
next day lost its memory, and suffered from
continual drowsness. A week later it died
without having been really i'll. The corpse
was placed in the coffin, when q young Jew
ess burst into the house, threw herself upon
the dead child, and crying bitterly said :
"The same woman poisoned my child. She
was my nurse before, and now she has muir
dered your poor boy!'' The woman spoke
the truth. 1t has been found thatin Rostov'
there is society of child murderers, who poi
son children by means of narcotics. They
are instigated to do so by a fanatical woman,
who says, ''It is every woman's duty to
spare the evils Of life to as many children
as possible, and to make them share in the
