SUFFERING SISTERS.



"Two years ago. said Mrs. Harry
Rhodes, whose home Is at No. Blackhawk
Street, Aurora, Kane County, Illinois. "My
life was one Of misery because Of rheumatic
affections which the most skilled physicians
OF this city were powerless TO cure My
Affections were OF sciatic nature which
affected not only my hips but both legs and
feet TO such degree that did not dare TO
step upon the ground for fear OF bringing
on the most excruciating pains.
The several physicians TO whom ! APP
piled were p0werless 70 aid me, and / was
In very respondent condition and almost
without hope. When one day noticed a
testimonial In one OF our daily papers from
woman who had been cured Of rheumatism
by DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
Sanders & Sherer's drug store is Just across
ness, and ! asked him TO call there and pur-
chase box OF pills, which he did.
THAT nrst box OF pills worked wonders
for me. might almost say that the first
half dozen produced very noticeable ef-
feet, for that night obtained sleep without
the aid of opiates, and with the second day
the pains grew less and less until they de-
parted altogether, never to return. i con-
tinu1 TO take the pills. In the prescribed
doses, for several weeks when found my
self entirely cured
"My sister, Mrs Bert Scott, whose home

with rheumatic difficulties similar TO mine.
Her trouble was the principal reason for
the removal OF the family n Chicago, where
Mr.. Scott is in the plum bing business, and
their home is now at 10 Teale Court They
expected the atm osphere OF Illinois to as
sist in a cure which the physicians could
not bring about in the climate OF Superior,
but my sister became no better, with the
very best Of medical attendance, until
recommended DIR. Williams Pink Pills 10
her. AS in my case they worked a speedy
cure, and Mrs. Scott is now entirely free
from all rheumatic disorders, and she Is as
conscientious as am in her praises of the
remedy which has done so much TO make the
lives Of two families far happier than they
Were two years ago"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain, In a
copdensed form, all the elements necessary
to give new life and richness TO the blood
and restore shattered nerves. They are an
unfailing specific for such diseases as loco
motor asaxia, partial paralysis, St vitus'
dance, ssciatica, neuralgia. rheumatism,
nervous headache, the after effect of la
grippe, palpitation OF the heart, pale and
sallow compilations, all forms of weakness
eitherin male or female. Pink Pills are
sold by all dealers, or will be sent post paid
on receipt of price, 80 cents a box, or six
boxes for $3.50, tthey are never sold in bulk
or by the 1907, by addressing DR.. Williams

PREPARING BROOM CORN.
Cseful HintS Sent Out by q Chicago Com
mission Firm.

lseful BintA Sent Out by q Snicago tom
mission Firm.
The following from a commission
firm in Chicago gives growers Of broom
corn some useful hints in regard to
putting up their corn for market:
The corn should be well seeded and
at the same time the growers should
avoid scraping the fine fibers from the
tips. Let the corn thoroughly cure
before baling and butt ii down well
before laying in the press; this will
make nice smooth ends and give the
bales "A nice appearance. Corn is fire.
quently received with the bale broken
in two when the corn is short. In or
der TO avoid this. when laying the short
corn in the press there should be layers
put in the center of the bales for bind
ers to hold the corn together and this
will make good solid bales. Care
should be taken not to put rubbish or
scrapings from the cylinder in the cen
ter of the bales, as this is worthless and
a total loss TO broom makers. There
nre always n few who resort TO this
practice and it is injuring the reputa-
ton of all the western growers. We do
do not see why the western farmers
should not realize as good prices for
their corn as the Illinois farmers. pro-
viding the brush is well handled and of
as good quality. The last few years the
quality of their corn has not been up
to the standard. but we trust that this
year they Will have a fine quality of
brush, which will bring the west to the
front again.

A POSTAGE STAMP.

Montenegro has issued a Jubilee post
age stamp in honor of the two hun
dredth anniversary of the Niegoch dy-
nasty.
There are 10000 post offices in the
United States, against 10000 in Great
Britain. $4,000 in Germany, 1000 in
France, 1900 in Austria-Hungary and
5000 in Italy.
The eight values of the set of do
mestic stamps known as the 1s55-60 is
sue were offered to a Boston dealer al
$3.50 for the complete set, unused. He
refused the offer, and in 1878 bought
1880 sets for 81 a set. In Is years the
set was catalogued ut $l3.65. the next
year at Sls.55; the next at S25.0s; this
year at S42.95, and block of four of the
90-cent value sold at SIS.
The growth of the post Office business
of the country has been amazing. At
the close of the revolutionary war there
were only IS post Offices in the United
States. At the close of the war of 1919
there were 5000. At the beginning OF
the civil war there were 2s,5t6. and five
years after it's close. in 1870. there were
IS, 492, or about 100 fewer. the only step
backward during the history OF the
post Office department BY 1850 the up
ward Sc had started again and in full
:orce, and the number of post Offices in
the country reached $4,000. There are
low 10000 post Offices In the United
States. and the number is constantly
being increased.

half way on his road he was taken with
cramps in his legs and was unable to

be just sinking into unconciousness when

PopuLrsr AND SILVER CONVENTION:


The National Populist convention in
session last week at St. Louis. adjourned
Saturday afternoon after nominating
W. j. Bryan of Nebraska. for president
aud Thomas Watson. of Georgia. for
sice-president. Contrary to the usual
custom the vice-president was nominat-
ed first. the reason probably being that
the majority-who were opposed to
Sewalls nomination-were afraid that IL
Bryan was first nominated. wave OF
enthusiasm might also carry the day for
Sewall.
Bryan wired the convention that ne
would not accept the nomination il
Sewall was rejected. bnt he was evident
the choice Of the convention TO such an
extent. that he WAS nominated IN spite
Of his own protest.
General Weaver. Of Iowa. nominated
Mr.. Bryan and in doing so made one Of
the most eloquent speeches that has been
heard in any Of the conventions.
The nomination Of Watson will COM
plicate matters verv much in the silver
camp. and IL remains to be seen which
Of the candidates will be hrst TO try TO
straighten the tangle by Withdrawing
his name. In the interest OF harmony. or
whether they will both stubbornly re-
fuse to yield. and by SO dong assure the
election Of Mckinley.
The National Silver party who were
also in convention last week endorsed
the nomination Of Bryan aud Sewall and
adjourned.
