Physicians Have Found Out

That contaminating and foreign ele-
ment in the blood, developed by indi-
gestion, is the cause of rheumatism.
This settles upon the sensitive sub.
cutaneous covering of the muscles and
ligaments of the joints, causing con-
slant and shifting pain, and aggregaa..
ting as calcerous, chalky deposit
which produces stiffness and distor-
tion OF the joints No fact, which ex-
perience has demonstrated III regard
to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has
stronger evidence to support than this,
namely, that this medicine of compre-
hensive uses checks the formidable
and atrocious disease, nor is it less
positively established that it is prefer
able to the poisons often used to arrest
it, since the medicine contains only
salutary Ingredients. 1t is also a sig

DEFIES THE REICHSTAG.
EMPEROR WILLIAM SAYS THE REICH
STAG WAS UNPATRIOTIC.
Tells the Soldiers That if the Next Reich
stag Refuses to Pass His Army Bill He
Will Carry it Into Effect Anyhow.
Creates q Sensation Among
German Politicians.

BERLIN, May 9.-W hile reviewing
troops in the field at Tempelhoter to-
day, the German Emperor ordered
the principal officers OF the Imperial
Guards to gather around him and ad-
dressed them as follows: ~ have
been seriously disappointed in the
patriotism of the late reichstag. l
hope the coming reichstag will adopt
military bill, but if the coming
reichstag should refuse to adopt 1t l
am determined to carry the bill into
effect despite unpatriotic opposition"
The speech is in the North
German Universe Gazette in double
loaded prominence. Those who heard
the emperor speak say he spoke with
unusual emphasis, pausing at every
word in order to convey sense OF his
determination to abide by his declara-
tions. There is profound and wide
spread impression that the emporer
would not hesitate to risk conflict
with the new reichstag should it prove
hostile to the bill. The emporer's con-
cludipg words in addressing the OIL,
GERS were: HI felt the necessity to tell
you candidly my decision, as L told
you my hopes, when the bill was first
proposed" Officers who heard the
emporer's words maintained absolute
silence, although evidently in deep
sympathy with the kaiser's views.
Leading men in German politics
who heard the emporer's speech now
consider that he has embarked on a
policy of Prussian high toryism and
the chances of the Freissinnige party
to bring about moderate Liberal era
have vanished.

Hail and high wind are reported
from some localities over the northern
norton of the state The territory
covered by those has been small and
the hail was not very extensive eX-
cept in Cooke county, where It was
very heavy and quite extensive. No
frosts have occurIe ed during the week.
Cotton has been greatly improved
in many parts of the state by the
rains which have fallen during the
week. The warm weather has also
been very favorable for the growth Of
the plant. Parts of North and Cen
trail Texas where drouth has retarded
planting, particularly near the 95th
meridian, have teen visited by good
showers which. it is SAID, put the
ground in good condition for planting.
The drouth continues, however, over
parts of the western portion of North
and Central Texas, where more
rain is needed. Slight damage has
resulted to cotton which was up
in parts of Cooke county. No damage
is reported from this cause in other
sections. The cultivation of the plant
has progressed very we'll except in
some parts of the state where work
has BEEN delayed by heavy rains.
Reports indicate that corn is gem
orally doing we'll, but would be i'm.
proved by more rain over the western
portions of the state. The wheat and
oats over in the western portions OF
the state would be improved by rains.
Early wheat is fair crop and har-
vesting has commenced in some To-
calities. There is large increase in
acreage Of wheat over the previous
year and with a fair yield the crop
will be the largest ever raised in the
state.
