Having no room in the box cars we wore placed face up on the bottom of fiat oars The sun beat down upon our unpro- ta,'cl heads. When l reached Washington Twas iusensible and was unconscious for len days while in the hospital. An abscess gathered in my ear and broke; it has been rothcring and breaking ever since. The rasv't of this 100-mile ride and sunstroke was heart disease, nervous prostration, in- somuia and rheumatism. A completely shattered system which gave me no rest rirht or day. As Q last resort took some Pink Pills and they helpedme to wonder ful degree. My rheumatism is gone, my heart failure, dyspepsia and constipation are about gone, and the abscess in my ear has stopped discharging and my head feels as clear as bell when before it felt as though it would burst, and my once shat. tered nervous system is now nearly sound. Look at those fingers" Mir Edwards said, "do they look as if there was any rheuma- ism there!" He moved his fingers rapidly and freely and strode about the room like Q young boy. "A year ago those fingers were Cnarled at the joints and so stiff that could not hold q pen. My knees would swell up and could not straighten my leg out. My joints would squeak when l moved them. That is the living truth.
 When l came to think thatI was going to be crippled with rheumatism, together with the rest of my ailments, 1 tell you life seemed not worth living. suffered from despoudeucy. l cannot begin to tell you,n said Mr Edwards, as he drew long breath, "what my feeling is at present. 1 think if you lifted ten years right off my life and left me prime and vigorous at forty-seven, Icould feel no better l was an old man and could only drag myself painfully about the house.

These pills quiet my nerves, take that awful pressure from my head, and at the same time enrich my blood. There seemed to be no circulation in my lower limbs q year ago, my legs being cold and clammv at times Now the circulation thercis as full and as brisk as at any other part of my body. I used to be so light headed and dizzy from my nervous dis order that frequently fell while crossing and never felt better in my life, and am looking forward to busy season of work"

A TRAIN HELD UP.
Masked Men Rob Lake Shore & Michigan
 Southern Train.


 Southern Train.
 TOLEDO, O., July 25.-The westbound New York and Chicago express on the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern rail- way was held up by six masked men at l2:30 this morning at a lonely place in the woods, known as Reece's siding, be- tween Archibald and Stryker, o. about 10 miles west of WauScon. The train stops there to let the western express pass. The latter train was approach ing when the robbery took place. The robbers were mounted and rode out of the woods, which are dense and close to the track. Conductor Darling who was standing by one of the coaches was ordered inside at the point of a revolver. Admission to the express car was obtained by the same means, and the messenger was forced to open the safe. The robbers were evidently familiar with the train, and it is thought that employees of the rail road company or of the express com pany must be implicated, either as principals or as confederates. It was undoubtedly known to the bandits that an unusually large sun was in the express safe last night. The amount reported to have been obtained by them is said to be Ss, 900, but it is believed that a much larger sum was taken. No attempt was made to mo- lest the passengers. none of whom knew anything of the occurrence. When the thieves had secured the con- tents of the safe, they rode quietly

 WASHINGTON, July 27.-The seed divi- sion of the agricultural department has been abolished and Matthias E. Pagan, of Illinois, chief of the division at s2,Oo0 year, and the entire force of employees will be dropped from the rolls. Secretary Morton's action is based on a decision of Mir.

The change is officially estimated to involve a say ing of about S2O0, 900 year.

 smith, Ark.
 FORT SMITH, Ark, July 27.-Chcro- kee Bill got his hands on revolver yesterday and used it in an attempt to liberate prisoners confined in murder ers' row of the United States jail. His attempt was bold one and resulted in the death of Larry Heating, the oldest guard on the force. Tom Parker and Larry Heating had just gone on duty and Turkeys Eoff and Mcconnell were engaged in locking up. On account of the hot weather and the long days the prisoners are allowed to remain in the corridors until nearly 2 o'clock. When running in the prisoners all retired to their cells and the two upper floors were run in without incident on mur. derers' row. After the bolt had been thrown Eoff went in to lock the cells while Mcconnell re. mained at the door. When Eoff reached the cell next to Cherokee Bills he found the keyhole plugged md while he was trying to clean it out Cherokee Bill came to the door and fired, shooting Heating through the stomach. He ran to the end of the corridor and fell dead. Eoff ran back to the corridor on the east side of the cells and McCon. nell, Parker and several deputy mar. shals ran in and opened fire on Chero- kee Bill whenever he tried to leave his cell. His ammunition was nearly ex. hausted and he agreed to surrender his pistol to Henry Starr, which was done. Threats have been made by citizens of lynching the murderer.

Who Was Nelson?

On a recent visit to Nine. Tussaud's ex-
hibition, I found myself among a crowd of
persons gazing at that memorable scene in
the cockpit of the Victory, described in the
catalogue as "The Death of Nelson" T.
is certainly a realistic group, sufficient to
enlighten the most untutored mind.
While standing there contemplating the
tragic scene before me, I heard a woman
say to her companion, "Who is Nelson?'
The man, startled for a moment, pulled
himself together and with croditahle
promptitude replied: "Nelson! Oh, he
was the captain of a man-of-war!' No one
laughed.
1t was a very natural answer, and it
seemed to satisfy the company, which
moved onward to inspect the Polish giant,
who, ever since I was a boy, has been pois-
ing Tom Thumb on the palm of his hand.

Diet For Nervous Persons.

Mrs. Rorer recommends plenty of salad
in the diet for nervous persons. Fat around
the nerves, she says, smooths them out
very quickly. Meat, such as lean roast
beef, broiled steak, broiled mutton Or
broiled, chops, should be used three times a
day. Cereals are to be avoided and little
fruit taken and such as is should be eaten
at the end of breakfast, or luncheon, never
in the latter part Of the day. White bread
toasted in the oven, or whole wheat bread,
coffee without sugar at breakfast, very
weak tea once a day, without sugar or
cream, and NO sweets or desserts are more
suggestions for the bill of fare.
