R. W. Edwards, of Lansingburgh, was
Frustrated by ysunstrnke during the war
and it has entailed on him peculiar and
serious oonseQ uences. AT present writing
Mr.. e, is a prominent officer Of Post
Lyon, g. A. R., Cohoes, and past AID
dc camp on the staff Eof the commander
ln-ohief Of Albany Co. In the interview
with reporter he said
81 was wounded and sent to the hos

of about 100 miles. Having no room IN
the box cars we were placed face up. on
the bottom of fat cars. The sun Dea9
down upon our unprotected heads. When
l reached Washington L was 1nsenslple,
and was unconscious for ten days Wnlle
in the hospital. An abscess gathered IN
my ear and broke, it has been gathering
and breaking ever since. Inc result oi
this 100 mile ride and sunstroke, was
heart disease, nervous prostratlon, lnsom-
MIA and rheumatism A completely
shattered system which gave me no resi-
night or day. AS a last resort TOOK
some Pink Pills and they helped me to a
wonderful degree. My rheumatism Is
gone, my heart failure, dyspepsia ana
constipation are about gone, and the alb
scess in my ear has stopped oisonarglhg
and my head feels as clear as bell when
before it felt as though it would burst,
and my once shattered nervous system is
now nearly sound Look at those fin
gers,' Mr.. Edwards said, "do they look
as if there was any rheumatism theref"
He moved his fingers rapidly and freely
and strobe about the room like young
boy. GA year ago those fingers were
gnarled at the joints and so stiff that l
could not hold a pen. My knees would
swell up, and / could not stvaighten my
leg out. My joints would squeak when
l moved them. That is the living truth.
"When came to think that l was 60
ing to be crippled with rheumatism, to-
gether with the rest of my ailments, l
tell you life seemed not worth living.
suffered from dependency. l cannot be-
gin to tell you,' said Mr. Edwads, as he
drew a long breath, ''what my feeling is
at present. I think if you lifted ten
years right off my life and left me prime
and vigorous at forty-seyen l could feel
no better. l was an old man and could
only drag myself painfully about the
house. Now can walk off without any
trouble. Th at in ITSELF" continued Mr..
Edwards, would be sufficient to give
me cause for rejoicing, but when you
come to consider that I am no longer
what you might call nervous and that
my heart Is apparently nearly healthy
and that can sleep nights you may real
ize why may appear to speak in ex-
trayagant praise of Pink Pills. 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 a
year ago, my legs being cold and clammy
at times. Now the circulation there is
as full and as brisk as at any other part
of my body. used to be SO light-headed
and dizzy from my nervous disorder that
frequently fell while crossing the floor
OF my house. Spring is coming and I
never felt better in my life. and / am
looking forward to a busy season of

BY FIRE AND FLOOD.
The Village of Bound Brook, N. j., De-
wasted. Loss of Life and Property.

Plainfeld. N. J., February 1.-THE
village of Bound Brook was devastated
by fire and flood last night The Reritnn
river overfowedssits banks and caused five
to ten feet of water in some o. the streets
in the town People had to take refuge
in upper portions of their dewellinga As
far as known only one man lost his Ife,
but many had very 2. rsess escapes from
drowning.
Hundreds of light structures were de-
molished and fioated down in ssething
waters. Great numbers Of dead animals
also went down the river.
At 80 last night large quantity of
lime in lumber yard was stacked by the
rising water and ignited the surrounding
piles Of lumber. The fire departments
could do nothing, owing to the flooded
condition of the streets, and the fire
finally died out this NOR ming, after de-
stroying large portion of the town. Tho
loss is $15O,000. Many families are made
homeless,

given by Edward @. Webster, and ha said
there had been much criticism of the
officers on the Commercial street beat,
and OF the police department. because it
was said that the store of Skillin &
Hawkes. was raided time after time and
light after night, but as he pointed out,
the testimony of 'tEd'' Webster that as
a matter of fact the store was also raid
ed IN open day, and according to what
Ed" Webster said, he delivered goods
to Dominious e. Hamlin at all hours of
the day, not at night. Ed'' Websters'
story showed that many of the goods
were taken in the day time and under
the very eyes of tho proprietors them
selves. The sudden and sensational turn
the case took was fully appreciated by
the marshal. OF course it is not new
testimony to him, but it was to the pub
lilo, and it showed that the public made
great mistake when it held the police
responsible for the non-detection of the
raiders. The evidence showed that the
plundering was carried on as freely, and
In fact more freely during the day than
at night.
MR.. ROUNDS WAS DISAPPOINTED
Edgar E. Rounds, SO often referred
to during the process of the trial and who
was alleged by Hamlin to have advised
him to go to Canada, was disappointed
at not being called to the stand. 81 was
summoned he said, "by both sides, and
then was not called to the stand. I
am sorry wasn't"

ished large force will be put on and the
work rapidly completed.
Mr.. WilIiard's pavilion proves to be a
very popular place for dances and parties

largely attended and netted the company
$40, which is very good considering the

MR.. ROUNDS WAS DISAPPOINTED.
Mike pavis,s Last Invention.

Mike Davis's new invention Is shank
for sweep, and oan be used in crew
rowing only. The inventor claims it
will, owing to it's peculiar construction,
enable the oarsman to secure nine inches
more stroke on the full reach, which Mr..
Davis figures out to mean that the dis
tanoe of IS inches is gained in each stroke
when rowing in the vicinity of 40 to the
minute or IS to the minute. Mr.. Davis
believes that 40 per cent of available en-
ergy is gained by this new shank, part of
which is due to the lengthening Of the
stroke and the greatest benefit is derived
from the prevention Of spinal curvature.
The new oars will be 10 feet 6 inches
long, as compared with IL feet, which is
the lengthy Of the regulation sweeps.
Should the oRr break of outside the lock,
it will be an inexpensive ana easy mat
ter to replace it. for the wood is inserted
In a sooket of the shank, and any old
oar large enough to fill the socket can
be pressed into service in short notice.
The new sweep will. it is claimed, weigh
about three quarters of pound less
than regulation wooden sweep.

 A Mexican who has worked in the

He had one stick in and tampeI down using an iron tampin: rod some twenty feet long and three quarters O an inch in diameter He had his charge properly placed and started to withdraw the rod. He had it nearly ont of the hole when it slipped from his hands and fell back in tue hole. On striking the dynamite the roncuSsion was so strong that it caused an explosion, throwing the rod out Of the hole. When the rod went down the man evidently leaned over the hole and when it came up it caught him just below the shoulder. Eighteen feet of this rod went through the mans body and then it stuck The other work rod conll not be pulled back, and it took the united effort of three strong men to pull 1t through.

 He will return to Nebraska and it's blizzards in about two weeks, but he dreads 1t.
