TRY THIS IF TROUBLED WITH
RHEUMATISM.

Our little boy was afflicted with rheu-
matism in his knee; and at times unable
to put his foot to the floor. We tried in
vain, everything we could hear of that
we thought would help him. We almost
gave up in despair, when some one ad-
vised us to try Chamberlain's Pain
Balm. We did so, and the first bottle
gave so much relief that we got a Sec
ond one, and, to our surprise, it cured
him sound and well.-J. T. BAYS, Pas

In the Jewish cemetery at Fort Smith
Sunday, June 18th John Moore, lauu-
dryman, shot his divorced wife through
the tempe and then put a bullet
his heart. Moore at one time
was member Of the Salvation Army,
and became estranged from his wife
on account of the fondness shown by
her for a man named Sother, also
member of the Army, who claims to
be reformed horse racer from Texas.
Mrs. Moore and Sothers were walking
through the cemetery when they were
confronted by Moore with six-shooter
in his hand. As the couple broke away
Moore fired two shots at Sother. who
saved himself by jumping behind a

ing over the body of his dead wife.
