from Alpena, Michigan, Argus.
sss#NVe have long known Mrs. Jas. M.
Todd OF Long Rapids, Alpena County,
Mich. h has been a sad cripple!
Many OF her friends know the story Of
her recovery; for the benefit of thoseii
who do not we publish it to-day. /,
Eight years ago she was taken will,
nervous a p~rostration; and in a few
Month with muscular and inlamnia-
tory rheumatism. It affected her
heart, then her head. Her feet be-
came SO swollen she could wear moth
ing on them; her hands were drawn all
out OF shape. Her eyes were swollen
smut more than half the time, her knee
joints terribly swollen n for eighteen
months h had to be held up to be
dressed. One limb became entirely
helpless, n the skin was so dry and
cracked that 1t would bleed. During
these eight years she had been treated
Y q score of physicians, and has also
spent much time at Ann Arbor under
Oest medical advice. All said her
trouble was brought on by hard work
ana that medicine would not cure, and
n rest was the only thing which
would ease her. After going to live
With her daughter she became entirely
helpless and could not even raise her
arms to W. herself at night. The
interesting part of the story follows In
her w words:
II was urged to try DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People and at last
did 30. In three days after l com
enc taking Pink Pills I could sit up
and dress myself, and after using them
Six weeks I went home and commenced
working. I continued taking the pills.

Now, II l IAN say anything to in

to try Pink Pills, / shall gladly do so.
IL other like sufferers will try Pink
Pills according to directions, they will
AVE reason to thank God for creating
men who are able to conquer that ter
rible disease, rheumatism. I have in
my own neighborhood recommended
Pink Pills for the after effects of la
grippe, and weak wome with impure
blood, and with good results"

and says they LAY brought a poor.
helpless cripple back to do her own
milking, c%hurning, washing, sewing,
knitting and in fact about all Of her
household duties.

the elements necessary to give new life
and richnes to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They are for sale by

Faction to Visit Chicago.
WASHINGTON, March G..-Mgr. Satoll.
has received an anonymous printed
petition, urging him to go to Chicago
and suppress the operations Of a
society said to be terrorizing the
Catholic community and threatening
bloodshed.
The a for the infammatorv
document IA not understood until
press reports announced that the
friends of the murdered DR.. Cronin
were petitioning Mgr. Satolli to go to
Chicago and take steps against the
Grammatical. The paper received
here made no reference to Dr. Cronin
beyond saying that a secret society
had already murdered a man and
threatened to murder others. There
was no written communication to the
delegate, except u line On the margin
OF the petition saying that his pre-
ence in Chicago was imperative at
once.
Mgr. Satolli paid no attention TO
the anonymous appeal, and it is not his
intention to take any part in the re-
vival Of the Cronin agitation or to
investigate the Clan-na-Gael. The
subject is said to be entirely out Of
his jurisdiction.

EXPERT CHECK RAISERS.
\ New Process 10 lseing Jsed BY Crooks
and Detection il ImpossibIe.

OMAHA, Neb., March G.-Startling
developments were made q the
Union Pacific check raising aindle
which are calculated to alarm all cor
porations paying in checks. The dis
covery was made that the gang which
operated on the Union Pacific system
rave a method OF erasing ink with
acid which defies the best chemically
prepared paper, which is guaranteed
to show the slightest presence Of acid
o. other foreign substances. The
amount secured by the work of the
gang is not yet known, but it is not
as large as at first supposed. The
fact is not regarded as of much inn
portance, however. as compared with
the new process which is puzzling the
company's chemists and detectives.
The paper on which the checks are
printed has been regarded until now
as absolutely proof against manipula-
ton, but the operations of the gang Of
experts shattered all claims of the in
ventors Of the paper that the inven-
ton is acid-proof. The checks that
We're raised failed to show q single
erasnre mark, and the amount Of the
cheek in the right hand corner, as well
as the written amount in the body of
the check, were wiped out as COM
pletely as if 4 cloth had been used in
removing dust from q table ton. Not
content with removing the figures, in
one instance the name of the employe
was removed and a new name snbsti-
tuted, showing that they had mas.
tered the secret completely.
