with pain Is the sad cry of many victim
of rheumatism or neuralgia, and frequently
other diseases, such as kidney and liver
complaints, are directly traceable to rheu-
matism or neuralgia. These diseases, for
some unexplainable reason, are rapidly m
creasing, and in many instances are the
direct cause Of much sickness which so
hides its real origin as to he mistaken for
other diseases. In curing rheumatism, nell
raigia, sick headache, and in many cases of
kidney and liver troubles, Athlophoros has
wrought wonders. Those who have used
it are best qualified to speak of its merit.
IL. Anderson, $50 West Lake St, Chi
cago, Ill.,. SAYS: Il have had rheumatism of

the last attack, being at that time confined
to my bed, and unable to move without the
greatest pain. My wife applied hot aPpli-
cations, so hot that ii would nearly blister
me. This was only temporary relief, for as
soon as the application was cold the pam

the mother of jim Cummings was seen at
her residence Wednesday night. She was
very unwilling to say anything about The ar
rest of her son, but was anxious that the pub
lie should know the real cause of the robbery
She said that she had wondered from the first
what prompted the robbery, and the first
question she asked her son after he had been
brought to his home by the detectives was;
''Vhy did you take the money!
She saws he answered that he was greatly
worried because the time was growing so
short when the mortgage on her home to Sc
cure 81 700 that she had borrowed and
loaned to him would become due, and he was
not making money enough out Of his bust
ness to pay her. So, instead of allowing the
homestead to so to sale, he made up his mind
to make desperate effort to save it, and
finally decided upon the plan of robbing the

Over PowderIy's Letter AveIinS's
Treatment of the New York Socialists
New YORK, Dec. Silt has been learned
that Charles Werner Zaddick, the German
who was killed by dynamite explosion at
the new aqueduct Nov 10, was once init
mately associated with prominent Anarchists
of Europe as manufacturer of their ex-
plosives, and there is good reason to believe
he made the dynamite for the fatal Chicago
bomb, His former employer said Wednes-
day night that i'll April Zaddick made up
some of the strongest dynamite--S per cent.
nitro-glycerine-and said he would take il
down to the city. He knew person who
would purchase a lot. He sold all he carried
away, and paid me for it shortly afterward.
After the explosion in the Haymarket in
Chicago he said to me that the dynamite he
had made was first class and had done its
work well. He repeatedly said he had sold
the dynamite which went into the bombs il

archisi, made her headquarters at the house
of Mrs Zaddick when she visited here.

quoting a speech Mr.. Powderly delivered
about the shooting of strikers, in which he
sd id if that kind of thing continued it would

ST PAUL, Dec 3l.-Mayor Ames is in dead
earnest about taking his seat as governor Of
Minnesota. He will appear in st. Paul
Monday and take the oath of Office, and then
make his contest before the supreme court OF
the state. He bases his claims on gross frauds
in half dozen localities, generally III remote
sections of the state In Lower St. Louis
county, for instance, he asserts that 800 per
sons, who had not even their first papers,
voted, and therefore the county, which gave
MeGill 900 plurality, must be thrown out.
He also believes that several hundred votes
were thrown out in Hennepin county tMIn-
neapolis) that should have been counted for
him He expects to show rottenuess, too, by
which he hopes profit in Polk, Reuvlla, Lac
guiparle, Isanti, Carlton, Wadeaa. Itasca
and Faribault counties. in several of which
the returns came in with exasperating tardi-
ness. Next weeks developments are looked
forward to with much curiosity.

Rheumatism

IT. is an established fact that Hoods Sar-
saparilla has proven an invaluable remedy
in many severe cases of rheumatism, effect
ing remarkable cures by its powerful action
in correcting the acidity of the blood, which
is the cause of the disease, and purifying
and enriching the vital fluid.
IL is certainly fair to assume that what
Hoods Sarsaparilla has done for others it
will do for you. Therefore, if you suffer
the pains and aches of rheumatism, give
this potent remedy fair trial.

tism in my hips, ankles, and wrists. l

The First Keen Twlnge.

As the season advances, the pains and
aches by which rheumatism makes itself
known, are experienced after every ex-
posure. 1t is not claimed that Hoods
Sarsaparilla is specific for rheumatism
we doubt if there is, or can be, such a
remedy. But the thousands benefited by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, warrant us in urging
others who snffer from rheumatis mot
take it before the first keen twinge.

Why is il that three bottles of B. b. B.
are sold in Atlanta to one of any other
blood remedy, and twice as much con-
sumed in the state of Georgia as any
other preparation? No one need take
our word, but simply ask the druggists.
Ask the people. They are competent
witnesses. Six houses in Atlanta
are buying B. B. B. in five and ten gross
lots, and some of them buy as often as
every two months. Why these unpre-
eedented sales here at home with SO little
