blood began to course freely and vigorously

cure being permanent. am in better health

Such is the history of one of the most
remarkable cases in modern times. In the
face of such testimony, can anyone say that
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are not entitled to
the careful consideration Of every sufferer
man, woman or child? Is not the case, in
truth, a miracle of modern medicine?
These pills are sold by all druggists and
are considered by them to be one of the mast
valuable remedial agents known to scienfe.

A REMARKABLE CASE.

The following case was printed orginsEy
in The Monitor, newspaper published at
Meaford, Ontario. Doubts were, raised as
to its truthfulness, consequently a close
watch was kept on the case for two years and
the original statement has now been COM

Mr.. Petch had been hopeless paralytio

This expression is heard constantly.
Perhaps you, reader, have heard it and
possibly you have made IL yourself 1t
Is sad fact, but a fact none the less,
that while the grip is bad enough and
depressing enough when in its acute
form, it is often worse when It settles
in some part of the body and continues
to destroy the health and ruin the life.
Doctor Lombard, in speaking on this
subject recently said:
ut is a well-known fact, admitted
by all doctors, that grip does settle in
the body and bring distressing effects
long after it is apparently cured. But
the doctors do not always say just
where it usually settles 1t should be
clearly understood, then, that the spots
which grip commonly selects are the
Nidneys and urinary organs. 1t is quite
natural that it should do so for these
are the very organs that are overwOrk-
ed in trying to drive the grip out of
| the system and, naturally, being over
worked, they are weakened and become
an easy prey for disease"

Philadelphia, Feb. 4--The fight to-
night between Jack Daily and Jack
O'Brien at the Arena proved a lsap-

there was very little punching done ON
either side. Previous to this Jerome
Quively, of this city, and Tom Will
liams, of Australia, mixed things for
two rounds, when Williams was forced
to quit. At the end of thes first round
Williams was very weak. but in the
second he braced up and showed nerve.
Quively, however, was too much for
him and sent him to the grass seven
or eight times. Then the referee stop

time. During this intermlssion the
matter could be argued before the
court. II the commission were right,

ther proceeding. The court remarked
That it was a matter of grave import
ance to the state and one which would
ultimately come before the supreme
court. TO which counsel assented. Al
ter consultation it was agreed, with
out issuing u preliminary injunction

MILKMAID BOUND AND GAGGED.
Neighbors Found Her After Robbers
Had Fled with Booty.

Shamokn, Pa, Feb. 4.-While Miss
Lydia Yarling lay bound and gagged
in her home, in the Mahantongo Valley
last evening, two strange men ran
sacked the house in search for money,
appropriating $50, all that they were
able TO find.
Miss Yarling encountered four
strange men in a sleigh as she was
returning to the house from the stables,
after completing the evening dairy
work. One of the men requested a
drink of milk from the pail she was
carrying, and two of them followed her
into the house, ostensibly for the milk
with which she agreed to favor them.
They were evidently aware that she
was the only occupant of the house, and
knocking her down, bound her securely
and fastened a gag in her mouth.
In this condition Miss Yarling was
found by neighbors some time after the
robbers had departed. She is in a criti-
cal condition from nervous shock.

Wilkes-Barre, Feb. i.--The Times to-
day prints the following: The audi
tors of Wyoming county have been
following the example of Controller
Lloyd of this county and yesterday af-
ternoon they filed their report, in which
they surcharged the commissioners of
that county. The report states that
the auditors deem it advisable to sur
charge the commissioners $3,6Oi24, and
also S291.94 to several other individuals,
making the total surcharge $3,S96.1S.
The first amount with which the
commissioners are surchareed is $1,000
on the soldiers and sailors monument,
which stands on the court house
square ON May 6. 1897. the three COM
missioners, Messrs. Wheelock, Brown
and Chase, let a contract to Edward
Gallagher, jr., of Philadelphia, for So
600 for the erection of the monument.
Many of the taxpayers about the coun-
ty took exception to the price paid and
employed counsel to Investigate the
matter. The people employed Sittser
and Dershimer, Charles e. Terry and
George II. Rice as attorneys, and the
commissioners retained Messrs. Platt
and Jordan. On Friday Jan. {. the
people presented their side of the story
to the auditors and produced evidence
to show that the same monument could
have been erected for less than S65OO.
The following comment is made in the
report regarding the monument: THE
county commissioners, by their act in
making the contract and paying the
money without such care and diligence
as public officers are bound to use, lose
1000"
The second item with which they are
surcharged is $1,000 on the Eatonville
bridge. The commissioners gave a
contract for $3,037 for the erection of an
iron bridge across Bowman's Creek at
