A Terrible Nisitant.

Pain is always terrible vlsitant, and
often domiciles itself with one for life. This
infection is preventable, In cases OF rheu-
matism, by a timely resort to Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which checks the eneroach-
ments OF this obstinate and dangerous NAL
ady at the outset. The term dangerous"
is used advisedly, for rheumatism Is always
liable to attack the vital organs and termi-
nate life. No testimony is more conclusive
and concurrent than that of physicians who
testify to the excellent effect OF the Bitters
I'm this disease Persons incur a wetting In
rainy or snowy weather, and who are expos
ed TO draughts. should use the Bitters as
preventive Of Ill effects. Malaria, dyspepsia,
liver and kidney trouble, nervousness and
debility are also among the ailments to
which this popular medicine is adapted. For
the infrmtles, soreness and stiffness Of the
aged Is highly beneficial.

A WON ANS NERVES.
STORY OF a WOMAN TO WHOM
NOISE WAS TORTURE.
Frustrated by the Least Excitement
Physicians Baffled by Her Case.
From the Gate Citv. Keok.uk Io,ca1

Mrs. Helen Meyers, whose home is at
3ol5 Vernon avenue, Chicago, and whose
visit 10 Keokuk, Ia, will long be remem-
bered, was at one time afflicted with n
nervous malady which ut times drove her
nearly 10 distraction. Those terrible
headaches are a thing of the past" she
said the other day TO n Gate City repre-
sentative, "and there is quite Il story III
connection with it. too"
My nervous system sustained great
shock some fifteen years ago, brought on,
| believe, through too much worrying over
family matters and then allowing my love
for my books 10 get the better of my dis
erection where my health was concerned.
Why, whenever my Stfairs at home did
not go along just as | expected, l would
invariably become Frustrated from the eX-
element and would consider myself for
tunate indeed if the effects of the attack
would not remain for week. l was
obliged TO give up our pleasant home not
far from the Lake shore drive. because L
could not stand the noise in that locality.
| could find no place in the city which l
deemed suitable 10 one whose nervous
system was always on the point of eXplo-
sion. To add TO my misfortunes, my COM
pleXion underwent change and l looked
so yellow and sallow that | was ashamed
TO venture from the house at ALL"
Madam said my doctor to me soon
after an unusually severe attack of the
malady, unless you leave the city and
seek some place of quiet, you will never
recover" So | concluded | would visit
my uncle, who lives in Dallas County,
Iowa, and whose farm would surely be q
good place for one in my pitiabe condi-
ton. | picked up the Gate City one day
aud happened to come across an interest
ing recital of the recovery of some woman
in New York State who was afflicted as |
had been. This woman had been cured
10y DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie. l thought that if Pink Pills cured
that woman they might do the same for
me. ] began TO take the pills according 10
directions, and began TO feel better from
the start After | had taken several
boxes of them | was ready TO go back to
Chicago. My nervousness was gone and
my complexion was as fresh as that Of
any sixteen year-old girl in Iowa, and
Pink Pills is what put the color in my
checks. No wonder | am in such high
spirits and feel like prize fighter. And
no wonder / like TO come TO Keokuk. for

the lady.

twenty feet up the main aisle. But he
continued to struggle and wrestle with
his captors, Messrs. Pence and Outh-
waite.
The House and galleries were in an up-
roar. Bedlam had broken loose. Over
it all the cracks of the Speakers gavcl
sounded as he attempted To quell the riot
on the floor. In firm tone the Speaker
directed the sergeant-at-arms TO arrest
the offenders. Col. Isaac Hill, the deputy,
and his assistant, Mr.. Robinson. grabbed
the silvermace. the emblem of the Houses
authority, and rushed up the aisle. it
was crowded with members. When they
had elbowed their way TO the scene of
the combat Mr.. breckenridge was still
struggling with those who held him.
His antagonist, Mr. Heard. stood calmly
in his place. Col. Hill and his assistant
seized Mr. Brecknridge, and Mr. Heard
was pushed into the arms of the deputy
sergeant-at-arms. AS the two men came
together Mr.. Breckenridge made Il des-
perate effort to free himself.
Breckinridge Has Blood in His Eye.
"You are coward and scoundrel!"
lie yelled at Mr.. Heard, but the stalwart
Robinson roughly pulled Mr.. Breckin-
tves of the American Congress were hus-
tied, rather than escorted. to the bar Of
the House. The Speaker ordered all 10
take their seats. Many of the members
did so reluctantly.
Take il back" shouted Mr.. Rreckin-
ridge. az he glared at Mr.. Heard, who
stood, like himself, in custody before the
bar. "You called me an impertinent pup
py." answered Mr.. Heard.
Meantime the Speaker was trying To
drive the excited and frantic members
back to their seats. Mr.. Breckenridge
was appealing for recognition, but the
Speaker would not hear him. After all
the members were seated he ordered both
Mr.. Heard and Mr.. Breckenridge back 10
their seats, and then recognized the Ken
tuckian. With his frame trembling with
excitement, his silver hair tumblng back
from his forehead, Mr.. Breckenridge rose.
Attempting TO contain himself lie began
his apology in humble tones.
Those who were near the two members
when the encounter occurred, says
Washington correspondent. are unani-
nous in stating that Breckinridgc's man
ner was rude and provoking and that he
referred to Mr.. Heard as an insolent
something or other. the term used being
generally understood us 'scoundrcl." Mr..
Hoard's retort was what might be cx-
pected in answer to an cpithet from n
man Of Brcckinridge's reputation, and il
was no surprise that he should call the
Kentuckian Il liar.
The sympathy of the House and gal
lerics were largely with Mr.. Heard The
latter is very mild-mannered man and
has never been known TO conduct himself
in an ungentlcmanly or unparliamentary
manner on the floor of the House
Breckenridge is usually very suaye and
oily in his address and his outbreak to-
day was somewhat Of II surprise He has,

resentatives the manners of himself son.

A Diner surprised.

Nike Milligan, a miner. stepped into
the Queen City Restaurant shortly be-
fore 8 o'clock last evening and ordered
a nice, juicy, plain steak. He was
soon wrestling with the beef. He was
getting along nicely when suddenly
something happened.
About the same time that Mr.. Mill
gan ordered his supper Che Varille, the
Frenchman who runs the shooting gal
lery next to the restaurant, had also got
into trouble. A BIB shot had become
lodged in the barrel of one of his rifles,
and he could not poke IT out with ram
rod. The ball had to come out, and SO
he put in 22-caliber cartridge and not
wishing to shoot at his target with Il
double-shotted gun he took aim ut the
floor and fired. And this was what
happened: Just as Milligan took Il
large bite OF steak a rifle ball came
tearing through the restaurant wall,
whiZZed passed the face Of woman
who was eating lunch in box" and,
crossing the room, lodged in Milligan's
right arm The bullet had glanced from
the shooting gallery floor and passed
into the adjoining building, and had at
tempted to go through Mr.. Milligan,
but in this il failed.
The bullet entered Milligan's right
biceps and ranged upward toward the
shoulder. The wound bled freely.
Milligan was taken to his apartments
In lodging house, and Drs. Steele and
Rockman were called. They secured
the bullet and dressed the wound

was very beautiful, but there was a
twitching about the nerves of the face
which showed suffering. NO" said the
other, "it's neuralgia, and she's a martyr

the world-renowned cure for it. Did she
try it? Yes, and was cured by it and

A Good Kind OF Food.

No sort of food is better for the COM
plexion than oatmeal and oranges. The
finest compilations in the world are
those of the Spanish and Italian ladies,
who live largely on coarse grained food
and fruit like the orange and banana.
1t is said that many ladies are living
almost entirely on oranges. Half doz-
en- for breakfast with n cup Of coffee,
Il dozen for lunch with glass OF milk
and saucer of oatmeal, and n dozen
more for supper with crust OF bread
and a sip of tea may not be high living
in the proper sense of the word, but
such n course Of diet will bring n COIN
plexion which will drive almost any
belle out of her head with envy.

a Lost Name.

We are told by botanists that the
plant which everybody calls nasturtium
is not really one ut all. Nasturtium is
the botanical name for watercress, but
because this plant, with its fat, circu-
lar leaves and beautiful red and yell
low blossom, happened to taste like
watercress it lost its own name, "tro-
paeolum," and will probably never get
it back again except in books.

European Lace i'm America.

This country imports through the GUS

worth Of machncmade European lace
and less than 100000 worth Of hand
made lace. Much Of the former Is
doubtless sold as handmade, and
good deal Of both leaks in by devious
ways. Much is imported by returning

long in use, and thus 1t escapes duty.

can be unraveled the encounter occurred
in this way: Mr. Heard, who was IN

cut off Mr.. Breckenridge, who was at
tempting to address the House on the
Hawaiian resolution, by demanding the
previous question on the adoption of the
resolution. Mr. Breckenridge Immediate
