which causes you to vince with pain ?
Does your back hurt when you stand still
for a few moments SO that you are COM
PEELED to sit down? Do you feel an intense
main about your kidneys when you wake up
in the morning?
These symptoms are very common. and
most of our cured patients had them. Tney
do not have them any more. They were
cured by the use of DR.. Hallock's Wonder

BRANDED A SLEEPING NAN.
MerciIess Jokers Use Heated Iron
to Scar His Flesh.

NEW YORK. Nov. 27.-Some inhuman
jokers branded James Mulhern as he slept
in stall in big sales stable. The red
hot iron SCARED Mulherns flesh, and when
he awoke, shrieking. his torturers scattered
laughing at the success of their merciless
play Mulheru was q hostler in the big
stables OF the Fiss- -DoerrCarroli Horse
Company. in East Twenty-fourth Street.
He has been drinking much and eating lit
tie He lives at the Washington Lodging
House, 157 East Twenty third Street. He
is just the man that the hostlers and stable
men of East Twenty fourth Street would
make butt of.
Mulhern went to Bellevue Hospital Sat
urday suffering intensely. He told DR..
Mooney that he fell asleep IN the stall in
the stables between and 10 o'clock in
the morning of November IS last. AS he
lay there he was branded on his left hip.
Mulhern said that one of the hostlers who
saw the cruel joke played told him after
ward that il was sinstigated by the son OF
one of the members Of the firm. The
hostlers had bsen burning off brands from
horses brought from the West for sale here
Mulhern showed paper purporting 10 be
an agreement With Foley & Powell law
yers POS Broadway by which they are to

Living as Mulhern does. he had neglected
the burn he received and it was very much
infiamed and very painful. DR.. Mooney
urged him TO remain in the hospital, but
he would not do So So his wound was
dressed and he was ordered 10 return every
day else IL may result most seriously.
Mulhern said a man formerly connected
with Foley & Powell took him TO their Of
flee on Friday last. Mr. Powell said that
while he could not vouch for the truth of
Mulherns story, the fact remained that
Mulhern had been branded. treated most
inhumaneES Mf Powell said he had writ
ten to the young man who. Mulhern was
informed. had instigated the branding but
he had received no answer.
The young man whom Mulhern mentioned
Indignantly denied that he ever knew of
the branding. and said ne would be glad tc
help the police to catch the man who did
it. He added that he has been sick and
has not been at the stables for a fort

TWO FINE SPECIMENS
of PhxnicaI Mnnh hood.

| No form of athletic exercise demands
| such perfect physical condition as prize
| fighting. Every muscle in the body mus.
| be fully developed and supple, and the
! heart, lungs, and stomach must act to per-
fection.
Whether We endorse prize fighting OF
not. it is nevertheless interesting to know
| the manner by which men arrive at such
physical perfection.
James Jeffries.: the present champion
heavy weight of the world. and his gallant
opponent Tom Sharkey in the greatest
pugilistic encounter that has ever taken
place, both pursued much the same course
of training, and the first and most impor-
! tant part of this training was to get the
stomach in condition and to keep the di-
gestion absolutely perfect, so that every
muscle and nerve would be at its highest
capabilities.
This was not done by secret patent
medicine, but both of these great pugilists
used well-known natural digestive tablet
sold by druggists under name of Stuart s
Dyspepsia Tablets and composed of the
digestive ferments which every stomach
requires for healthy digestion.
Champion Jeffries says: 'Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets prevent acidity. strengthen
the stomach, and insure perfect digestion.
They keep a man in fine physical condi-
ton" Signed, James J. Jeffries, champion
of the world.
The gallant fighter. Sharkey, says: STU
arts Dyspepsia Tablets remove all discom-
fort after eating. They rest the stomach
and restore it to healthful condition. l
heartily recommend them Signed, Thorn
as J. Sharkey.
The advantage of the daily use of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets is that they keep
people well and ward off sickness and are
equally valuable to well persons as to the
dyspeptics. Another advantage is that
these tablets contain no cathartics, or
poisons of any character, but simply di-
gestive ferments which are found in every
healthy stomach. and when digestion is
imperfect it is because the stomach lacks
some of these elements and Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets supply it.
They are no cheap cathartic, but per-
fectly safe and efficient digestive, and the
demand for them is greater than the sale
of all other SO called dyspepsia cures COM
bined. No remedy. could possibly reach
such place in public esteem except as the
result of positive merit
Full sized packages are sold by all drug
gists at so cents, and the best habit you
can possibly form is to take a Stuart Tab
let after each meal. They make weak
stomachs strong and keep strong stomachs
vigorous. -.

AFTER bogus MONEY MEN
Counterfeiters Said to Infest the
West Virginia Mountains.
Secret Service Officers Intent ON the
Capture of Offenders Whose Busi-
ness 1t Is to Make Spurious Money.
Had NickeIs and Dimes Put Into
Circulation i'm Ohio River Towns.

Secret Service officers have been busy for
combination of counterfeiters who have
located in the mountains of West Virginia
So far the Secret Service men have sue
ceeded in capturing six or eight of the
alleged offenders, and others have be n
made to change their hiding places.
These mountain counterfelters have been
very busily plying their vocation since last
March and for a while they worked WITH
out fear OF detection. They made the
base coinage OF 8 and 10 cent pieces their
speciality. and circulated them in large
quantities in the towns and cities along
the Ohio River. 1t is believed that very
large amount of; these spurious co MS was
put out before suspicion was aroused
When the people of Ohio and and those
living on the west boarder OF West Nir-
ginia became aware that they had been
imposed upon in systematic manner ny
an organized gang. they notified the secret
Service bureau, and a number OF agents
were sent out TO run down the ohenueis.
Special Agent Samuel " Matthews,
located at Parkersburg, was directed 10
assist the agents sent from Washington TO
trace the counterfeiters, and for weehs

the precaution was useless, for the coan-

In Mcdowell county Matthews and his

headquarters of a part of the gang. and

sHARKEY. sR.. IN AMERICA.
The Pugflist'~ Parent Unexpected!
Arrives From Ireland.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-Tom Sharkey will
not go to ireland next month. This is due

day by his father visiting him. The latter

spare moments to him. IL is the first time

FREIGHT RATES ADVANCING.
Norfolk Reports Them Higher Than
for Many Years.

NORFOLK, Va. Nov. 27.-Freight rates
from this port to New York and Boston are
now higher than for number of years and
are still advancing. Coal rates south OF
New York are such that numbers of schoon-
ers are freighting both ways. Owing to
the scarcity of ships on account of Eng.
lands taking so many for use in South
African waters. foreign freights are away
up, and there appears to be but small like
lihood of change in the near future.
The reported scarcity of coal in New
England and in other parts of the country
is causing great activity at the Lambert's
Point coal piers, where the bulk of the pro-
duct of the Pocahontas mines is distrib-
uted to all parts of the world. Recently
the British steamship Needles took on 5000
tons, one of the largest single shipments
ever made from the piers, consigned to a
firm at Singapore, India. The Kurdistan
sailed recently with a large cargo for VAL
paraiso. The adoption of this coal by the
United States navy has caused it to be used
by all civilized nations of the world.

Cole & Good win have % claims located in Lyons Canyon, the beadwaters of Mineral Creek, and are at present sinking 8 50-foot shaft on sulphide ore of an average grade of about 13 per cent copper, which is nearly double the values in the Ray properties. The claims are. all in a slate formation, incidental with Jerome. The slate itself carries a good percentage of copper.
 There are enormous dykes of por- plyry, stained on the surface from teachings from the sulphide below, running with the slate, some of them being mixed with slate, and from 100 to 400 feet . width.
 The work whieh has been done proves that the slate on depth is high ly impregnated with iron and copper sulphnrets.

 Whereas, The question of storage reservoirs to be constructed by the Federal Government for tue purpose of holding water in the mountains has been thoroughly discussed and passed upon by eight annual sessions of the National Irrigation Congress as the proper method to supply the arid West with irrigation water; and
 Whereas, The question of irrigation has been thoroughly discussed aud passed upon as the only means of re- claiming and putting into cultivation the arid lands of the West; and
 Whereas, The great stock interests of the West depend upon irrigated lands for pastIrage and farming pur- poses; and
 Whereas, The storing of water in mountain reservoirs would greatly lessen it not prevent the overflow of lands on the lower Missouri and lower Mississippi rivers, as well as tributary streams; and
 Whereas, The interests of the entire arid West demand irrigation aud the overfowed.. lands of the South and middle state demand protection; there fore, be it
