Kidney Trouble and Its Effects.
The Word OF am Old Gentleman A.
Nation, I'll.
From the Commercial. MaNoon, Ill


Mr.. William J. Winningham is a we'll
known and venerable gardener Of Maj
toon, Ill. Seventy-fve years ago Mr.. Win
nlngham was born in Ashboro, N. c.,
where he resided until 1866. when he re-
moved to his present residence
When 81 years of age he began to be
afflicted with nervousness and cramps,
which IN later years developed into kid
ney trouble OF SO violent a character
that it was no uncommon thing for him
to void gallon in a night, oxidation
through the pores being. absolutely I'M
known. To reporter who visited the
old gentleman on hearing of his restora-
ton to health after so many years of suf-
fering, he made the following statement:
Il suffered for all those long years with
intense pain in the back, nervousness and
from the passing of large quantities Of
water This was undoubtedly q form of
diabetes, and so described by my physi-
clans, of whom [ had many. Strychnine,
and nitre and many other remedies were
tried, as we'll as change of climate, but
nothing did me any good. l was so horri-
bly, nervous that could not lift drink
ing vessel to my mouth if there was not
handle attached to it. A great part of the
time | was confined to bed. The COM
mencement of the disease was in 1916,
when | had a bad attack Of Southern
fever in North Carolina.
IAUOlul LII &C ctlS dS5O l. Iettu all duF0I-
tiseInent of DR.. Williams Pink Pills and
thought would try them, as they might
do me good. | soon began to get relief,
and by the time / had taken eight boxes
l was virtually cured. Now my nervous
ness has left me- the flow of water is nor
NAL, and the pores of my skin perform
their duty as we'll as when / was a boy,
and | perspire as freely as any one.
81 have recommended DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People to a number of
people, and have heard from many of
them that they have been greatly bere-
flied. l shall always continue to speak in
their praise whenever / have an oppor-
tunity, for l recognize that their effect
upon ME was little short of miraculous.
(Signed) "WM. J. WINNINGHAM."
Witness: WILLIAM TABOR.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain, in a
condensed form, all the elements neces-
sary to give new life and richness to the
blood and restore shattered nerves. They
are also specific for troubles peculiar to
females, such as suppressions, irregulari-
ties and all forms Of weakness. They
build up the blood, and restore the glow
of health to pale and sallow cheeks. In
men they effect radical cure in all cases
arising from mental worry, overwork or
excuses of whatever nature. Pink Pills
are sold in boxes (never in loose bulk) al
so cents box or six boxes for $3.50, and
may be had of all druggists, or direct by
mail from DR.. Williams Medicine Com

Dawson City in three weeks, during
when time he had to raft logs FIVE miles
and saw them up for material for boat.
He then started down the lakes and Yu-
kon river, shooting all the rapids, thing
he says he would not again do for all the
gold in the Klondike country. In his haste
he passed in the middle Of Lake Bennett
the man he had already Travelled thous-
ands of miles to capture. Noyak, under
the name Of J. A. Smith, was going leis-
urely down the lake with party of
miners as Perrin passed. Perrin talked
with members of the Novak party, but
did not recognize the fugitive behind his
heavy growth Of whiskers.
At Dawson City Perrin could find no
trace Of Novak, as he had not arrived.
For day or two he was afraid he had
travelled all the way to Dawson on blind
trail. But inside Of two days he had To-
Gated the wife of a member of the party
Novak was known to be travelling with.
She relieved Perrin by informing him that
her husband was expected the next day.
On the third day after Perrin arrived
Novak's party came in. The mounted po-
lice were summoned to make the arrest
through courtesy. Perrin pointed out No
yak and had him brought to headquarters.
Novak stoutly declared he was not from
Iowa.
Perrin then sent for the mounted police
doctor and had him examine the filings
in Novak's teeth. In every respect the
marks of Identification on his teeth tailed
with those given out by the Iowa authori-
ties, and it was deemed satisfactory proof
that the prisoner was Novak.
Up to that time Perrin had passed in
Dawson City as the representative of a
big Colorado syndicate that was going
to buy half of the new gold district. When
his true errand became known, he was
given an ovation. Novak had no money, al
though he had earned $41 carrying other
peoples supplies on his back over the
Chilkoot pass.

GIVEN A LONG CHASE.
Man Wanted In Iowa Brought Back
from the Klondike Country.


from the Klondike Country.
Frank Albert Novak, under charges Of
murder and arson, has arrived at Wal
ford, Iowa, the scene of his alleged crime.
When interviewed Novak denied being
guilty of the charges laid up against him.
He confesses, however, that he is Frank
Albert Novak, and not J. A. Smith, as he
represented himself when entering the
Klondike mining country. At first he in
sisted that G. G. Perrin of the Thiel de-
tectiye service Of st. Louis was mistaken
when he accused him of having murdered
Edward Murray at Walford last Febru-
airy, setting fire to the store and taking
fight, hoping thereby to make it appear
that it was Novak that had been burned
alive. Had he established that as fact
his wife and others whom the detectives
believe were confederates would have
cleaned up $4,000 Of insurance which
Novak had taken out on his life in his
wife,s favor. All that Novak really con-
fesses is that he is Novak and that he is
from Walford and had a wife and two
children there. The insurance companies
will not therefore have to pay the SIC, 900
Of life insurance which they have brought
suit to recover. If the State of Iowa can
not convict him of the murder of Murray
or of having set fire to the building occu-
Ipied by him he will escape.
Detective Perrin travelled 10000 miles
to capture Novak, and in getting into the
Klondike country he made the quickest
trip OF; record, travelling from Juneau to

crime to Thomas Dimsdale, ancestor to
the present Baron Dimsdale of En-
gland. For innoculating the Russian
Empress and her son Paul against
smallpox in 176S he received $4,000 as
a fee, $4,000 for expenses and an an

this he was granted the title of baron.
This was just thirty years before Jen-

Reward offered for Arrest of Murder
Gus Moonshiners.
Governor Jones of Arkansas has offered
a reward of 500 each for the arrest of the
moonshiners implicated in the murder Of
the party of deputy marshals. The muir
der Of the revenue officers was the result
of deliberate laid plan on the part of
the moonshiners to eXterminate all deputy
marshals attempting to invade their re-
gion. The information given to the Off
cres by one of the moonshiners arrested a
week ago was for the purpose of decoy-
ing the officers back into the mountains in
order to slaughter them. Attorney Gen
eral McKenna has offered reward Of
$500 for the arrest Of the murderers, and
has authorized the expenditure of 5000 in
payment of the expenses of the posse to

recline in Silver Brings Disaster to a
Central American.
Private advices have been received at
San Francisco to the effect that Enrico
Mathou, the well-known banker and pro-
moter of several gigantic schemes in Cen
trail America, has failed for over $1,000
900. His principal creditors are said to
be Europeans, but San Francisco firm
is said to be.a sufferer to the extent of
S1SO,00O. While Mathou's assets are es-
timated at $2,50O,O0O, they consist for the
most part ofHproperty in the vicinity of
Guatemala, which cannot be disposed of
for half it's assessed valuation. The cause
assigned for the failure is the heavy de-
probation of silver and the collapse Of the
real estate boom inaugurated by Presi-
dent Barrios several years ago.

the fight began when Secretary Stahl was
also nominated. Delegate Emery Of
Montana placed the name Of ex-Gov.
Hoard Of Wisconsin before the conven-
ton. All three nominations received
many seconds, and vigorous speeches were
made by enthusiastic delegates. A five
minutes recess was asked by several
States for caucus, and the delegates
grouped together and INDUCED in excited
talk. Candidate Hoard's eligibility was
questioned by Maj. Wagner Of Illinois,
but he was overruled. The roll-call pro-
cceded slowly and cheers greeted the
gains Of each candidate in the voting. The
vote showed good majority for Hoard:
l16 to S51a for Stahl and 60 for Clayton.
The effort to make the vote unanimous in
compliment to the ex- Governor was futile,
many delegates voting against such mo-
ton. Secretary Stahl was reelected by
reclamation, and, there being no other
candidates, N. G. Spalding of New York
was likewise honored for treasurer.
The paper of DR.. Sateldo was in part de-
voted to the question of establishing col

debt issued at the Treasury Department
shows the debt less cash in the treasury
to be ST DOS, 335, 121, which is an increase
for the month of $14, 9SS,475. This in
crease is accounted for by a corresponding
decrease in the amount of cash on hand.

Debt on which interest has
ceased since maturity. l,3S6,2oO
Debt bearing no interest. 37S,l94,5o|

This amount however, does not include
S593 SCI ,953 in certificates and treasury
notes outstanding, which are offset by an
aou,l amount of cash in the treasury.

AQUEDUCT CLAIMS sETTL ED.
City Allows Judgment for S5OO TO the
CHIEF Contracting Firms.

City Allows Judgment for 500. 900 to the
CHIEF Contracting Firms.
Corporation Counsel Scott. acting upon tho
recommendation Of the Aqueduct Board and
OF Lawyers Root, Carter and Fox, special coun-
sci for the city, made an offer yesterday to
O'Brien d Clark and Brown, Howard & Co. Of
about 500, 600 as a settlement in full Of all
their claims against the city arising out of the
construction Of the first nine sections Of the
new Croton Aqueduct. The offer was accepted
and Mr.. Scott allowed judgments to be entered
against tho city in favor Of Walston II. Brown,
receiver for Brown, Howard & Co., for $780,
67O.4O, $134,114, 1857. 1923 and $40, 6s9. 10, and
in favor of O'Brien & Clark for 1884, 600.
Afterward the Corporation Counsel issued an
elaborate statement giving his reasons for al.
lowing the judgments to be entered after tho
contractors had lost their cases in the different
courts. He said that many Of the witnesses
IL ever became necessary to go into the merits
of the case, had either died or had left the vicin.
ity. 1t was inevitable, he says, that sooner or
later the contractors would obtain, at least, the
claims and to award them such amounts as
might be deemed to be equitable to them, and
II such a commission should be appointed it
was clear to all those cognizant of the facts
that the awards to be made must greatly eX.
coed the amount for which settlement has been
made.
In return for allowing the judgments to DO
entered, Mr.. Scott said, the city received COM
or may arise in connection with tho construc-
tion OF the sections named. The total amount
of tie claims involved in the litigation upon
these sections is, according to Mr.. Scott, over
10000 900. The claims arising from the con-
struction Of sections 10. IL and 10 have not
been settled.
