KING RHEUMATISM.
HIS aEIoN IS OVER AT LAST.
uedieal soisnce Drives Him from HIS
Throne-A Medicine Discovered
that Rheumatism Can Not RE-
sist-A Boon for Sufferer.

From the st. Louis, Mo, Chronicle1
The effect OF using DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for rheumatism was brought to light
lately by Chronicle reporter who inter
viewed John Ferguson Of 1889 South Broad
way, st. Louis, who had been a sufferer
with this incapacitating disease.
"Those pills" he said, "have proved Of
great benefit not only to me but to my wife.
Strange to say we both suffered from the
Same ailment, although my wife's condi-
of us could sleep at night; We had sharp,
shooting pains in our arms, sides and limbs,
and continual soreness all over the body.
What We suffered from was nothing more
or less than rheumatism. At times my
wife had to crawl up stairs on her hands
twitch and Jerk despite my utmost efforts
to control myself. We suffered the torture
of the damned.
'sBut in three weeks the pain began to
leave us. My case not being as severe as
my wife's soon got well, but it took nearly
say she was entirely free from rheumatic
pains. OF course I recommend DIR. WILL
iams' Pink Pills to all my friends"
Mr.. Ferguson's words are Endorsed by T.
A. Campbell, an iron worker living on
Chouteau avenue. He too had been affiicted
with rheumatism contracted from working
In damp foundry. He said: Zone day |
was seized with chills and my doctor ordered
me to remain in bed for at least several
days. 1 began to lose my previously good
appetite, a depression Of spirits, lack Of am
bition, tired feeling and even loss Of mem
ory followed couldn't Keep my feet warm
and my usual ruddy complexion had given
way to a sallow hue.

afford to be idle. 1 struggled against my
feelings as best could, but the best could
do, even with the doctors help, was very

determined to try them. The effects were
nothing short Of marvellous. They made
me well, and as preventive l take them
regularly. They're the best medicine /
know of, and as such my friends hear me
speak of them"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People

new life and richness to the blood and re-

a SENSIBLE ACT.
niohigan Court Has Courage to Modify
IT'S Oeclsion on tho Ballot Law.

Aaoniken Court Has Courage to Modify
IT'S Decision on tho Ballot Law.
Lansing, Mich, Jan. lin an opin-
ION Just filed the supreme court takes
all the sting out of its opinion relative
20 distinguishing marks on ballots,
which received attention in all parts of
the country two months ago. In it's
former opinion the court declared ille-
gal ballots marked in any of the fol-
lowing ways: Where each of two tick
cts OF different names, such as Demo
crat and Independent on which the
candidates were identical, bore a cross
under the party name; where the cleo
or had placed mark before the name
OF each candidate on his own ticket
and erased the names on all the other
tickets; where candidates name ap-
peared for the office on two or more
tickets and the voter had placed q
mark before the name on each ticket.
In to-day's opinion the court holds
that tickets marked as described shout
that tickets marked as described should
be counted. At the time the first opin-
lon was written the Justices did not
know that the attorney general and
secretary Of state had for several years
issued instructions to voters and cleo
tion inspectors holding that ballots
marked thus were valid. In view Of
the fact that the former opinion would
have disqualified thousands of voters
who implicitly followed the instruc-
tions Of the legal department of the
state, and as the law on this subject is
not very clear, the court concluded that
Its former rulings were too rigid.
AS the result of to-day's decision
Charles Yenser will have to vacate the
office Of comptroller of West Bay City
In favor of James FL. Scott, the Demo-
crat, who, the court says, had ma
jOrity of 1. The claim of Reuben Tas-
ker, Republican candidate for city
treasurer, is sustained, the court find
ing that he had a majority of 8.

Tertiary, Justice is blind everywhere,

was months before she perceived it. She
has been so shaken up in New York by

and she can hardly tell an honest man
from, a hole in the wall any more. She
has probably o seen enough honest
men to be very familiar with the sight
of them lately. For some weeks the up
per portion Of the big city was flooded
with counterfeit dimes early in the
spring. Their origin could not be traced
till II day the warden of Blackwell's
Island ~penitentiary found a lot of them
in the prison. He searched the cells
quietly and found presently a set of
counterfeit's tools in one Of them. The
makers of the queer had manufac-
tured the money from lead in the work
shops by means of casts they had taken
with plaster Of paris belonging also in
the prison workshops. How long the
thing had been going on under the very
eyes of the Jail warden and keepers it is
hard to say.
