Miss T. e. Osborne Ia the name Of q young
lady living at 126 North Seventeenth Street,
Richmond, Inc. She is the daughter OF Mr..
William Osborne, one of the most prominent
horsemen in Eastern Indiana
She told your reporter a most interesting
and remarkable story. 1t will interest physi-
clans as it was a most unusual case. and to the
various ones who treated her, diagnosed it DIFF
ferently.
"None of the doctors, and I tried all of
Them" said Miss Osborne, "knew what was
the matter with me. Some said I had rheu-
matism, while others frankly admitted that
they did not know. I was mt first taken with
pneumonia. One of my feet panied me al.
most constantly, then the doctors pronounced
1t rheumatism.
"Gradually, but steadily, the trouble grew
and spread until my entire body was in
yolved and I was utterly helpless. Then We
changed doctors. No relief came, and we
changed again. We tried nearly all of the
local physicians, and I was taken away to the
baths. Nothing did me any apparent good,
and / suffered very much.
"It is now six years since / became unable

absolutely helpless. Braces were used in the

make me able to walk, but they did no good.

were my people. My friends gave me up to
die, and the doctors, each one of whom at
first declared he could have me walking
soon, all declared that I never could walk
again. I had no longer any faith in any
doctor or any remedy"
Finally, after persistent effort her friends

HOW To FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let 1t stand tw~enty-four
hours; q sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen 1t is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent de-
sire to urinate or pain in the back, is
also convincing proof that the kid
neys and bladder are out Of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There lie comfort in the knowledge
SO often expressed, that DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney rem
edy, fulflls every wish in relieving
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, blad-
der and every part of the urinary
passages. 1t corrects inability to hold
urine and scalding pain in passing it,
Or bad effects following the use of
liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes
that unpleasant necessity Of being
compelled to get up many times dur
ing the night to urinate. The mild
and extraordinary effect of Swamp
Root is soon realized. 1t stands the
highest for its wonderful cures of the
most distressing cases. If you need
a medicine you should have the best.
Sold by druggists, price fifty cents and
one dollar. You may have a sample

Distributed Merit.

The great success of the Royal Bak-
ing Powder Is due to the extreme
care exercised by its manufacturers
to make it entirely pure, uniform in
quality and of the highest leavening
power. ALI the scientific knowledge,
care and skill, attained by a tweney
years. practical experience, are con-
tributed toward this end, and no
pharmaceutical preparation a be
dispensed with a greater accuracy,
precision and exactness. Every arti-
Gle used Is absolutely pure. A num-
Der of chemists are employed to test
the strength of each Ingredient, so
that it's exact power and effect in
combination with its co-ingredients
are definitely known. Nothing is
trusted to chance, and no lperson is
employed in the preparation of the
materials used for the manufacture of
the powder, who ia not an expert in
his particular branch of the business.
As a consequence, the Royal Baking
Powder is of the highest grade OF
excellence, always pure, wholesome
and uniform in quality. The contents
of each box r exactly like every
other, and will retain their powers
and produce the same and the highest
Ieavening effect in any climate, at any
time. The Government chemists,
after having analyzedall the principal
brands In the market, in their reports
placed the Royal Baking Powder at
the head Of the list for strength,
purity and wholesomeness, and thous-
ands of tests all over the country
have further demonstrated the fact
that it's qualities are, in every respect,
Uuriyalled.

BRYAN Denounces Hanna.

CINCINNATI, OHIO, Oct. 29.-In his
speeches before thousands at Newark
and Shawnee yesterday, w. J. Bryan
discussed the silver question and then
said that the first six months of the Nc
Ktnley administration were the most
disastrous in the history OF the coun-
try. He charged Senator Hanna with
hostility to labor interests, and also
with being the chief c~onspirator in the
Presidential campaign OF last year,
when the result was due to the twin
agents of fraud and coercion and
traceable to the money powers of this
and other countries. He said: "The
gold standard was coneeivedi In avarice,
fastened upon the people by stealth,
continued by fraud and it's high priest
was Hanna"
Mr.. Bryan warned his hearers
against frauds In Ohio. He said that
the Democrats got as many votes In
Ohio last November as expected, but
the Republicans got many more than
there YVES any reason to expect.

Circuit Court met at 8 O'Clock Friday
night with Judge Hughes on the
bench. The following business was
transacted:
w. H. Turner vs.. National Masonic
Accident Association of Des Moines,
Iowa; appeal bond approved by the
court.
State Of Missouri vs. T. s. Manning,
indicted for issuing false prescrip-
tions; defendants motion to vacate

trial having been overruled, defend
ant was sentenced by the court to
confinement in the state p%enitentiary
for five years from October 29th, 1897.
Cooley t%hereupon filed the following
protest:
"May it please the court: 1 pro-
test against being sentenced. / am
innocent. / would rather have court
ed and accepted death than commit
such an offense. l ask no favor. On
the Goth day of July l was arrested.
False reports of the evidence against
me were circulated. The press was
deceived into publishing sensational
accounts of the affair. A mob spirit
was excited. To avoid the threatened
vengeance of an impending mob, l
was hurried away to another county.
From that day to this l have been de-
prived of my liberty. In the midst of
the sensational m~utterings against
me 1 demanded that 1 be brought
back to face my accusers. I was
brought back. l faced them. The
evidence was heard, and my innocence
made manifest to all right thinking
and fair minded men. Still con-
scious, as I thought, that an innocent
man could not be convicted, l de-
manded and received a trial at the
first term. 1t was the honest convic-
ton of four, and perhaps five, of the
jurymen that 1 was not guilty; but
they yielded a little to save themselves
criticism and the state costs, and
branded me with having committed
the gravest, most inexcusable and
shocking crime it is possible for man
to commit, and thus ruined my repu-
tation, life and prospects, and at the
same time pallisted, excused, and
perhaps encouraged, the commission
of such crimes by assessing the low
est punishment known to the laws. 1t
seems to me that all the testimony in
the case shows my innocence. Ihave
SO worn and shall continue to swear,
My oath Is in conflict with the oath
Of a girl, but in accord with all the
other testimony in. the case. If a
man can be convicted under such a
state of facts, then it ia useless for
any man to stand trial on a case of
this kind; against such charge the
law is unable to protect innocence.
l repeat, 1 am innocent. No jury can
change that powerful truth. 1 am
done. 1t is not in the power of man
to do more than tell the truth. That
1 have done. 1t has been crushed to
the earth, but l know that it will rise
again to shame my accusers and show
the guilt of the prosecutor and the
innocence of the prosecuted.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.
President Mckinley Promulgstes His
First, Designating November IS.

WASHINGTON, D. O., Oct. 29.-Presi-
dent Mckinley to-day issued his first
Thanksgiving Day proclamation as
follows:
SIN remembrance of Gods good
ness to us during the past year, which
has been SO abundant, Let us offer
unto Him Jul thanksgiving and pay
our vows unto the Most High Under
His watchful providence industry has
prospered, the conditions of labor
have been improved, the rewards OF
the husbandman have been increased
and the comforts of our homes multi
piled. His mighty hand has preserved
peace and protected the nation. Re-
spect for law and order has been
strengthened, love of free institutions
cherished and all sections Of our be-
loved country brought into closer
bonds of fraternal regard and gener-
GUS cooperation.
"For these great benefits 1t Ia our
duty to praise the Lord in q spirit Of
humility and gratitude, and to Offer
up to Him our most earnest supplica-
tions. That we may acknowledge our
obligation as q people to Him who
so graciously granted us the blessings
OF free government and material
prosperity, /, William Mckinley,
President of the United States, do
hereby designate and set apart Thurs
day, the 25th day Of November, for
national thanksgiving and prayer,
which all of the people are invited to
observe with appropriate religious
services In their respective places OF
worship.
"On this day Of rejoicing and do
mestic reunion let our prayers as

case OF insomnia, and whose wife, /
understand, was first relieved of a
long-troubling rheumatism by the
same remedy"
Work is necessary to a healthy body
and brain; but when it runs through
the same grooves through the twelve
months, year in and year out, the
effect is as disastrous as a fire in q
bundle of wood.
When the nervous system is tagged
out none of the organs of the body
do their duty; the purifying, excre-
tory organs do not thoroughly cleanse
the blood and the digestive and as
similative organs keep the nerves
badly nourished.
The tired system needs help. Here
is where Paine's celery compound ac-
complishes its wonderful work. The
radical purifying of the blood and the
rapid feeding of the nerves by this
great remedy prevents the develop
ment of diseases that often Turk un-
recognized in the system.
Everyone who has taken Paine's
celery compound has noticed and re-
marked to others its wonderful
strengthening effect upon the entire
nervous organization and its cleans
ing action on the vitiated blood. 1t
cures the body of that nervous habit,
eradicates headache, cures insomnia
and wasting diseases, and quickly
drives out the poisonous humors that
cause the aches and pains of rheuma-
tism and neuralgia. For building up
the body against general debility,
poor appetite and the tired, lifeless
feelings that accompany a low ner-
vous tone, Paine's celery compound is
beyond all question the ~surest, most
responsible remedy anyone can use.
An ailing habit, with frequent bodily
pains over the seat of such vital
organs az the heart, brain or kidneys
is serious and urgent. The descent to
fatal disease is easy, whenever the
body becomes rundown" Build
up the strength and resistance of the
nervous and digestive systems with
Paine's celery compound, get rid OF
unhealthy conditions of these organs,
and get out of danger.

Charles E. Osgood, OF Boston, the
owner of the largest and most sue
cessful furniture business in New
England, if not in the country, was
one Of the few large buyers among
furniture dealers during the hard
times of last year, who did a great
business, always paying cash, moving
on as if times were good, while rival
concerns 9 going to pieces right
and left all about. His credit from
Michigan to Maine became 80 con-
spicuously "solid" that he was one OF
the most talked of young men in COM
mercial circles.
With limited means, but well-bred,
full of character, straightforward and
we'll educated, he started in business
only a few years ago in a very mod.
crate way in a little store on fremont
street in Boston. The city began to
know him quickly. His business rap
idly assumed big proportions. A
newspaper one day interviewed him
in the column of "Men Worth Know
ing"
$50 what do you attribute your sue
cess?" asked the interviewer.
Mr.. Osgood replied very shortly:
"When in doubt, buy the best goods"
He is known everywhere to-day by
that expression,
Work told on Mr.. Osgood's health.
With characteristic judgment, he put
his reliance upon natures best remedy
to make him well again. The best Of
medical treatment was at his dig
posal; there certainly vas no physic-
ian that a man in his position could
not employ. He got the right advice
and followed it. To-day he is per-
fectly well, good-tempered, agrees
i've and energetic to the last degree.
In a letter to the proprietors OF
Paine's celery compound, written
Sept. %, 1897, Mr.. Osgood said:
81 have derived great benefit from
the 8 of Paine's celery compound,
and can unhesitatingly recommend II
for building up the system when
ssrun-down' and tired-out with worry
or work. I first used this really great
remedy on the recommendation of q
friend whom 1t had cured of a fearful
