Iraanmato:v rheumatism.

St. I,awrance P}air dealer, Canton. y. Y
To suffer for years with a prevail
ing painful ailment, which batlied
skillful medical treatment, yet which
was cured by a simple household
remedy, is the lot which befell Mrs
George l. Rogers, of West Main
Street, Canton, n. \.
Thirteen years ago." said Mrs.
Rogers to reporter. Il was at
tackled with inhammatory rheuma-
tism and complication OF diseases.
You can Judge somewhat of what
I endured, when you look at these
hands. They were distorted, twisted
and swollen. Ny foot, toe, is so much
out of shape that the big toe lays
across tue others, the end touching
the little toe.
Notwithstanding I am sixty-fve
years old, I have pleasant home and
other comforts, life to me was far
from enjoyable, for all other things
pale into insigniicance when you are
without good health.
II tried different doctors and many
proprietary remedies, but no perma'
nent benefit was obtained.
"Last March I tried Dr.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People and before
/ had finished the first box I began
to feel that they were doing me good.
I continued using them and steadily
grew better.
Il have used thirteen boxes Of the
pills and to day feel better than fol-
the past fifteen years.
My appetite is good, I feel bright
cheerful and have desire to live
aud enjoy society.
II have been member of the
Methodist church for many years
bat for six years was unable tt
attend. I am able now to attend tht
church services regularly and Ger
tainly appreciate that privilege.
Il consider DR.. Williams Pinl
Pills for Pale People a wonderful
medicine aud am confident no othe
medicine could have effected tn
wonderful cure they have in my case
Il am glad to state this, hoping
that some sufferer may profit by i
and obtain relief
1t was natures own remedy tha
accomplished this cure caused b.

Pink Pills for Pale People are com
posed of vegetable remedies tha

Iuvok(s Good Offices Of Uncle Sam
in Cuba.

luvOk(S Good OtlIceS OF | nclc Dam
in Cuba.
Chicago, January GA special to
the Tribune from Washington say:
Spain is considering a formal re-
quest to the United States to use its
good offices to stop The fight in Cuba.
Intimations have been received at
the State Department that the Sa-
gasta Government had been con-
vinced that the only way to save
Cuba was to accept the often prefer
ed good offices of the United States
Canovas repeatedly replied to Presi-
dent Cleveland, declining these good
offices, and Sagasta did the same last
November. Now the Prime Minis
ter has become completely disheart-
ened over the evident failure Of
autonomy.
Ali efforts Of Spain to bribe the
subordinates of Gomez to surrender
on the basis of home rule has proven
futile. Blsnco has completely failed
in his efforts to open up communica
ton with the insurgents, and Pando
has likewise been defeated in the
field. The Spanish Minister now
feels that the only thing left is to ac-
cept the good Offices of Uncle Sam,
in spite of the humiliation involved.
They hesitate only because they feel
that public announcement of this
fact would result in a revolution in
Spain.
Secret negotiations with the State
Department now are actually in pro.
gress. The Spanish government has
lost the confidence CT the localists in
Cuba, and it recognizes the fact that
the island itself is lost entirely unless
this country will at this late date
negotiate with the insurgents for some
basis of peace.
The Spanish propose that the
United States should propose to the
insurgents an actual armistice, pend
ing negotiations, for peace on th'
basis of American guarantee of tht
integrity of home rule, or even of in
dependence on a money cons!dera
tion.
While no such formal proposition
has been made by Minister de LONE
the State Department has been givel
to understand that only the fear o
revolution in Spain stands in the wa.
now of accepting the friendly office
of the United States, which hav
been rejected so often.
It has been even intimated that
this country sees fit, on its motion
to open up communication with tn
insurgents, Spain will not throw an
obstacles in the way. Any sue
move would be practical recognition
of the insurgents as belligerents
but things have reached such a crisi
in Cuba that even this contingenc
must be faced.
It is understood that the Cubal
Republic will insist on formal recoe
nition before undertaking any neg<
tiation with the United States, claim
ing that it cannot treat with powe
which regards it only as an organize
conspiracy of riot and piracy.

adduced will convict Hanna of at
tempted bribery before any body of

THE incubus known as Hannaism
has fastened itself upon the republi

in revolt against it. Nothing in his

Helping Democracy.

Kahoka, Mo-, Feb. 17.-B. A.
Marsh, O Kahoka painter, is very
much democrat, aud he employs
all modern means to the beat inter
ests of his favorits party. Before
February Is, 1898, Ben had six chill
dren, five Of them being boyr, and
the oldest bsing about IA. The
youngest is about l year old, and is
named William jennings Bryan
Marsh. It would appear that Ben
was not fully satisfied with five
democratic boys. On the night of
February Is, 1898, Mrs Marsh gave
birth to boy baby, weighing nine
pounds. At II o'clock Wednesday
Mrs. Marsh gave birth to second
boy baby, which weighed six and
one.half pounds. Fifteen minutes
later Mrs. Marsh gave birth to a
third boy baby, weighing five and
one half pounds. All three babies
are well, developed, and show every
indication of living and being
healthy. Ben is poor man in O
financial way, not able to aid his
party much with money, but he is
certainly very faithful and loyal tc
the democratic party in the mat ter
of supplying future voters.
