The law OF 1897, which provides that
all judgments shall be taxed as per
sOnaI property, has caused troubl in
half the coun tries Of the state Cred
itOrs who have held judgments for
years and failed TO collect on them
complain vehemently when they are
required to pay taxes on so per cent
Of the face value OF the judgments.
In thousands OF cases the creditors
have little hope OF collecting any
thing, but hold the judgments for a
chance OF good fortune. C. w. Good
in, Of Ottawa, asked for a ruling by
the attorney general II was made
Saturday and in substance 1t says that
county commissioners may inquire in
70 the credit Of Judgment debtors and
decide how much the chance Of their
paying their debts is worth

Few men In Detroit Real Estate Circles
are better known than Frank B. Trout.
None place higher value on their reputa-
uon.
Mr.. I rout has reason to Believe in the
potency of Dr.. Williams Pink Pills, and
be does not hesitate to say so.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills saved the life
Of his daughter.
Saved her when eminent physicians
failed; when the pharmacopoeia was ex-
hausted; when science acknowledged
defeat.
The gratitude of the father overba1ances
the natural conservatism of the man, and
he tells the world his story that others
may be benefited.
AT the age of fourteen" said Mr..
Trout, I'VE had to take Our daughter
from school owing to her health. She
began to fall away and became pale and
languid. She was so weak she would
tall down every time she tried to walk
when she was fifteen she weighed
only ninety pounds.
She was actually fading away.
Several physicians said she might out
grow it, bot that it would no doubt termi-
nate IN consumption.
She was growing weaker every day;
we concluded we must lose our child.
"The medical profession had exhausted
their skill, we had tried all the we'll known
remedies. Finally bought box of DR..

Third Alabama. That evening Gen
CODY called for six hundred men to pu,
down the riot. Several negroes were
killed and wounded. The coons SNUG
gled their Springfield rifles across their
lines and upon arriving in town they
fred upon every white man they saw.
They were also armed with knives and
pistols. In ten minutes after the call
to arms" sounded the Fourth Wis
sconsin was in front of brigade head
quarters and was the first on the ground.
Then came Tennessee and Arkansas.
Last night call "to arms" sounded
again. The camp of the Third Alabama
was attacked and three volleys fred
into them by the Tennesseans but we
were not taken from camp as all was
quiet after that. Respectfully,

Only One Provision Missing.

A very handsome document from the
executive department, state of Wiscon-
sin, signed by Governor Edward SEQ
field and his private secretary, VIM. j.
Anderson, affixed with the privy seal in
gold over cardinal ribbon, has been
received by one of the citizens of Cen
tralia, and reads as follows:
"Know ye, That, reposing special
trust and confidence in the integrity
and ability of Mr.. T. J. Cooper of Gen.
tralia, I, Edward Scofeld, governor OF
the state of Wisconsin, have appointed
and by these presents do constitute and
appoint him a delegate to the Farmers
National Congress to be held at Fort
Worth, Texas, from December 6 to
December Ia. 1898. Done at the capitol
in the city of Madison, ETC."
With the commission came short
side note stating that the legislature has
made no provision for paying the ex-
penses of delegates to gatherings OF
this kind. Squire Cooper says the
above intelligence knocks everything
else in the head. The Eighteenth An
nual Farmers congress will be a mon
ster gathering with lots of entertaining
features of sightseeing and pleasure,
but Mr.. Cooper has not yet decided
that it will be convenient for him to
att end.

taken all of the first box we noticed a
change for the better.
"She gained strength daily.
"Every one noticed the change; I
bought two more boxes When she had
taken them she was strong enough to
leave her bed, and in less than SIX months
was something like herself.
To-day she is entirely cured, and is a
big, strong, healthy girl, weighing $50

To further verify this statement Mr..
Trout made affidavit to its truthfulness
before Robert E. Hull, IT,, Notary Pub1ic.
The last decade of the nineteenth CEN
tory has been marked by some Of the
most important discoveries in the history
of the world. None have done more to
benefit mankind than Dr.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. Some of the cures
effected by this wonderful remedy almost
equal the miracles of old. Diseases long
supposed incurab1e have succumbed to
their potency. The paralyzed have
walked; the weak and ai1ing have
stepped from their beds we'll and strong.
The evidence is irrefutab1e. The fact
stands supreme that DR.. Williams Pink
Pills are the greatest blessing ever bestowed
on suffering humanity.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills arc sold by
druggists throughout the land.
