Probably no other woman ever suffered
Just as Mrs. Adams did, the wife of Rev.
A. r. Adams, pastor Of the Christian
church az Blandinsvil1e, III. Physicians
were baffled by her aIment, and for years
she was compelled to live Life Of torture.
To-day she Is we'll and the story of her
suffering and recovery will touch respon-
tive cord IN the heart Of every woman.
"About SIX years age" said Mrs. Adams,
my health began to fail. The firsttroutIe
noticed was with my stomach; food did
not agree with me, and my appetite failed
unt1 could scarcely eat.
81 would begin to b1oat Before was
through with meal, and the food felt like
stone IN my stomach.
"AftEr eating would have pains In my
stomach with a smo;hered feeling which
would finally extend into my throat and
chest accompanied by choking sensaton.
az began to bloat all over and my hands
and feet commenced swelling untl thought
had dropsy.
In a short time had pain and soreness
In my left side which extended across my
back accompanied by dizziness, and then
followed severe paroxysn1s Of Pain ex.snd-
ing from the lower part OF my stomach into
the region Of my heart
During these spells hard ridge as large
as my arm would appear in the left side Of
my stomach and around the left side.
II had a feeling Of heaviness IN my head
and at times could scarcely hold it up OF
keep my eyes open, yet when night came
could not sleep.

HOGS FIVE HIGHER
Fairly Good Receipts and
Quality Moderate.
TOPS UP TO $3.50
Cattle Market Steady--Light
Run In.

The Wichita hog market yesterday was
other western markets, a better strength
given to provisions, and the strong local
demand were factors which took part in
eelvating the quotations at this point
There was fair line of offerings in sight
at the opening, and these were disposed of
at varying prices, ranging from So 475a for
a common lot OF wagon hogs TO S3.571s
for a car load Of fair to- good light hogs.
The local trade was light and the grade
of stock offered In this branch was not
tempting at al, but all were quickly alb
sorbed and ct the best prices their quail
.ity could command. There was one car
held over. of mixed light stock, and il
sold early to two parties, st first being
sorted. Tho wagon stuff was all dispos-
ed of by noon, and a lull followed for
some time, most Of the car hogs arriving
on late trains and a few at nearly dark.
The lower tendency the past two days
has seemingly not had any very sksptical
effect on shippers, for thought the run
yesterday was not up to that Of the rest
Of the week, It was only a trife under that
of Thursday, and nearly 200 more than a
week ago yesterday. The higher market
yesterday did not in the least affect the
demand, which continues nrn tor Ooth
light weights and packing hogs, the call
for the latter especially being considerably
beyond even the better supply of the week.
The quality on the whole yesterday was
barely fair, with the exception Of about
two loads which showed good weight and
B. fair to good quality. Several OF the
s35715 loads were fair hogs. though most
~ light, and these in every instance sold
we'll Mixed with the moderately fair
loads were some sippy stock and rough
heavy jackers, along with an element of
light pigs which cut down the average
value of the loads. These Bkips and
roughs were usually sorted and sold sep
arately, all bringing all they were worth
The average weight for the day was light
being only 2O7 pounds against z33 pounds
for the DAY previous, and go for the same
day a week ago. Everything on sale was
readily disposed OF. the late arrivals far
Ing as WELL If not better. than anything
selling earlier. One of the top cars was
among the last to come in. The dockage
was unusually light. in fact the last two
loads to come in were the first in all day
to have any dock at all, and these were
very small comparatively. 1t was in all,
q very satisfactory day, and closed with
everyone pleased and tho hog pens empty.

ARE getting little tired Of this life
insurance business. When q man dies
nowadays the first thing they ask is:
Was he insured, and for how much ?
The papers also generally wind up the
obituary notice with the amount of
insurance. Soon the obituary notices
will read something like this: Peter
Jones died and left q wife and two
children. Loss fully covered by in

In Many Places 1t Reaches the Pro
portions OF n Blizzard.
st. Paul. Nov. 22-The FIRST general
snow storm of the winter has prevailed
throughout the northwest during the
without much abatement. The snow
has been accompanied by a high wind,
reaching In many places the propor-
tions OF genuine blizzard. The fall
Of snow has not been great, but the
wind has drifted 1t badly and many
places report considerable delay to rail-
road traffic. Specials from various
points In North and South Dakota,
Minnesota, Wisconsin and northern
Iowa report the storm still prevailing
and local business impeded. In the
British northwest the temperature Is
"a and rs degrees below zero. In this
city 1t has fallen to 10 below. The
storm was especially severe on Lake
Superior, Duluth reporting 70 mile
gale.
An Omaha dispatch says: Nebraska
Is In the grip Of norther. For 36
hours a strong wind from the north
west has swept the state, and during
the most of that time it has driven a
fine snow ahead Of 1t. Considerable
loss Of stock, both cattle and sheep, Is
feared. owing to the fact that many
thousands of herds have been brought
in from the south for feeding and have
not yet had time to become sufficiently
acclimated to withstand the stress of
the storm. One death from exposure
is reported. +. II. Thompson. Of Des
