Had Several Attacks of rheumatism
doctors Failed to Relieve Her
How the Disease Was Conquered.
From the Press, Appleton, MINI.
Of all the ordinary diseases to which
humanity is heir, there is, perhaps, none
more general or more painful than rheu-
matiSm. The Press having learned that
Mrs. Mary A. Marshall, a well-known
lady of Appleton, Mimi, this city, had for
some time past been Il sufferer from this
complaint, and that she had found rem
edy which not only gave almost immediate
relief but which effected q complete cure,
and believing that the dissemination Of a
few facts regarding it would perhaps be Of
interest and benefit to many of our read
ers, interviewed the lady upon the mat
ter. The reporter found Mrs. Marshall al
her pleasant home busily engaged in per-
forming her household duties in a man
ner which did not in the least indicate
rheuma tism, and secured from her the fol-
lowing statement
1T is about year and IL IF ago that
l first experienced these attacks of rheu
matlsm. AS they became more frequent
they became more painful, and while l
used the prescriptions of several doctors

effectiveness of DR.. Williams Pink Pills

the statements made therein that deter

L am free to say that before / had used

that aside from speedily and effectually
curing the rheumatism the pills have done
me great deal of good in generally reno
vatng the system, purifying the blood
and relieving those numerous little all
ments to which women are most common
~ addicted
Mr.. Marshall was present during the
interview and was sincere in his praise of
what the pills had done for his wife, be-
lleving them to have been the sole and d.
rect cause of her relief.

A SOUTH DAKOTA ROMANCE.
a Young Lady Finds Her Lover in the
Penitentiary.

Penitentiary.
Something out of the ordinary Oc-
CURED at the penitentiary at Sioux Falls.
s. D., during the time services were be-
ing held in the chapel. The story runs
to the effect that a young lady, who
doesn't live in the city. but is on a visit
to friends, was invited to assist in the
singing at the penitentiarY, and she was
there for that purpose. 1t appears that
this young lady was engaged to be mar
ried to Il young man of her neighbor-
hood, but the ceremony was put
off until such time as lie was
in a position to support a wife.
He came to South Dakota to make
a stake, but not meeting with the
success anticipated fell in with evil com
panions and finally found comforta BILE
cell and steady board at the peniten-
tiary. The young lady had not heard
from her lover for over three wears
and had mourned him as dead not SIM
posing for a moment that he could be-
unfaithful. AS the convicts marched in
to services this young lady watched
their faces rather closely. Suddenly she
threw up her hands, screamed and faint
ed dead away, to the great surprise of
all except the convict, who knew that he
had been recognized. The young lady
was unconscious for almost two hours
but when finally brought around matters
were so arranged that she could bayq q
private interview with her convict lover
and it is thought there will be mar
riage when he is released, as she still
loves him and is willing to forget

were found the vetrebrae of an animal

was found much rusted sword measur-

The sword, several spear-heads, and
fragments of pottery, which were also
discovered, are clearly Saxon, and it is
probable the skeletons represent men of

On the Dist of December, 1885, Ad-

was succeeded by Admiral Lyons, be-

run up to Sir E. Lyons, on board the
Agamemnon, May success attend YOU"
to which Sir e. Lyon ordered to be hoist

But though in real life hanging and
happiness are generally considered to
have been no very close connection, yet
in the signal code they are very much
alike. Unfortunately in the hurry to
reply to Admiral Dundas, the flag for
the former, instead of the latter, word
was hOisted. and, what was worse, the
stupid blunder was not discovered and
hauled down till the whole fleet had
seen and read it.

SECRET FOR THIRTY-TWo YEARS.
Skeletons Found in an Old Mine Clear Up
Mystery.

Skeletons Found in an Old Mine Clear Up
Mystery.
A discovery made yesterday near the
towns of Golfers, w. Va, clears up mys-
terry of thirty-two years standing.
The skeletons of four human beings
were found in an abandoned coal mine
mile east of the place. The men were
supposed to have been killed many years
ago.
David Snyder was exploring the old
mine, which had not been worked since
the early COS, when he discovered the
human bones. One of the skeletons was
sitting upright against ledge.
Beside the skeleton was found q flask
containing notes that explained the myS-
ferrous disappearance of John Ewing,
Ben Ayers, Tom Ackelson and Joe OBJ
ney, who were known here thirtytwo
years ago. The notes were written with
a pencil, but were we'll preserved. 1t
read as follows:

HONEY AS A FOOD.
1t is Easy OF Observation-Disclosures l in Some
Cases of Disease.

Cases of Disease.
Probably most people consider honey
as the equal in value for food of any
sweet sauce-no better, no worse. All
should know that it possesses one great
superiority-ease of digestion. The nee
tar of flowers is almost wholly cane
sugar. The SecretionS added by the
bees change this to grape sugar. and so
prepare it that it is almost ready for as
similation without any effort on the part
of the stomach: in fact, Prof. A j.
Cook once styled honey ''digested nee
tar" 1t will be readily seen that honey
is a very desirable food for those with
weakened digestive powers. If Il person
is very tired, too exhausted to eat" it
is astonishing how few tastes of honey
will act almost like magic. Almost no
effort is required to make it ready for
assimila ton. Persons suffering from
some forms of kidney trouble will find
that honey is much more beneficial
food for item Ian is cane sugar.
In eating comb-honey, many strive to
eject every particle of wax. fearing that
as wax is indigestible, nightmare and
other troublesome consequences will fol-
low an indulgence in warm biscuit and
honey. 1t is true that bread is more
easily digeSted than warm biscuit. as the
latter is inclined to pack" in chewing
but it may surprise some to know that
comb-honey is really an aid to the diges-
ton of hot bread or biscuit. The
philosophy of the matter is that the
flakes of wax prevent the '"packing."

Peculiar Phenomenon Encountered by
the Steel Ship Scottish Dales.

CHe SlteI SHIP SCOttISh DaIess
The steel ship Scottish Dales arrived
at Tacoma, Wash, last week. When
off the River Platte, in the Argentine
Republic, the Scottish Dales had a most
peculiar experience. The mast and spars
were covered with a fine white dust
which came in clouds. 1t was of very
light nature and fell over the deck in
large quantities. When rubbed between
the fingers it would gradually evaporate
and disappear. 1t is believed the dust
was from some volcano then in erup-
ton in the Andes mountains.
Capt. Thomas Mccarthy of the Scot
fish Dales said it was, one of the most
remarkable phenomena he had ever seen.
The captain also had a mutinied crew
to deal with, but subdued them without
loss of life. The Scottish Dales is from
Hamburg, Germany, with cement.
