GOOD FORTUNE

Near waldron. Ind. resides Mr..
Robert White. one OF the best known
farmers Of the community. He is we'll
situated, and just now has had an IN
usual share Of good fortune.
In his earlier days Mr.. White was
strong and athletic. but now while ON
the declining side Of forty, hard work
and disease have made him different
man. although today he il in good
health.
For number OF years he has been
troubled with rheumatism, catarrh Of
the head and stomach. Often In bad
weather his ailments would be aggra-
waited and he would be in serious con.
ditiou.
Whan the grippe visited this section
seven years ago, Mr. White was one Of
those attacked by this fearful disease
ara was confined to his bed for several
days. After recovering enough to sic
mp fora few days. concluded he was
we'll enough to get out about his work.
He went out too soon. Most all pa.
tients do that. He had a relapse and
was confined to his bed for several
weeks. His old disorders became
greatly affected. The efforts OF his
physician, who had been attending
him all the time, proved unavailing.
The doctor was dismissed. Several 9TH
ers were tried but their treatment was
useless.
Mr.. White doctored himself and used
many remedies said to he good for his
diseases, but he was not helped.
He went to Nashville and took the
baths. but they did him only tempor-
ary good. ''It seemed. impossible to
get lelief," said he, ''and did not
know what to do.
''At last was persuaded to try DIR.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,
and they cured me. / commenced
taking them last June, and after taking
five boxes, was entirely cured. They
relieved me from all suffering. OF
course suffered from rheumatism
most, and am now completely cured

cialists, who were said to be good for
the trouble. and they each said my
case was incurable. DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People cleansed ont
my, system. purified my blood, and I
am now strong and we'll. These pills
relieved me Of miserable suffering, and
my only regret is. that did not have

years ago. have recommended the

1t was natures own remedy that &C.
complished this cure caused by impure
blood, for DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People are composed OF vegetable
remedies that exert powerful infiu-
ence in purifying and enriching the
blood. Many diseases long supposed
by the medical profession to be incura-
lie have succumbed to the potent infiu-
ence of these pills. This universal
remedy is sold by all druggists.

Storage Reservoirs.

He shows in his official report that,
by the building of q series of great
storage reservoirs at the head waters of
the Missouri. foods can be prevented
through the diverting of the excess of
waters into these artificial lakes.
Surely this is something for congress
to give its attention to. Here is
practical plan. An ounce OF preven.
tion is worth pound Of cure. Con.
gress will 60 ahead appropriating mil.
lions every session for food prevention
without question. but it will not ap-
propriate the same amount for plan.
which, according to the governments
own engineers. promises far greater re-
suits. or course, the storing OF these
reservoirs would mean the reclamation
of large tracts of land to irrigation;
but this need not worry congress, even
it's Eastern members. for the Eastern
merchants are already alive to the situ-
alton, and realize that the reclamation
of the arid West would open 20 them
the finest market in the world.

Fortumes Appropriated.

Millions and millions of dollars have
been appropriated by the federal gov.
ernment for the building of these levees
and other constructions intended to
protect the surrounding country from
floods, and millions more must be ap.
propriated by every congress to come
unless other steps are taken to prevent
these Hoods. These measures OF the
government are merely palliative; they
do not 90 to the root of the evil. The
report OF Captain Hiram Chittenden. of
the government engineer corps. how.
ever, shows that there is way to
strike at the trouble itself, and largely
prevent the floods instead of trying to
enclose them between banks after they
have become sach.

At LEASTNINE KILLED.
THE PROPERTY LOSS is 100000
Locomotives Were Shifted From tho
CrsckS sad Pounded Into scraV-
ir0n-Mines Disabled.

Biwabik, Minn.. Oct. 9.-The tor
nado that ragged in this vicinity last
evening was most violent. The storm
cut pathway $50 feet in width
through the northwestern corner of the
town, completely wrecking several
buildings. The property loss il esti;
mated at 500, 900 and the known fa-
talities numb Der nine, with score or
more injured, some severely.
The storm swept in northwesterly
direction after leaving here and struck
a little Finnish settlement pear Pike
lake. where q number of buildings
were wrecked, in one of which an en-.
tire family. consisting of husband, wife
and four children, were instantly
killed. So far their names have not
been obtained. 1t is believed when
the more remote districts are heard
from further casualties may be re-
ported.
The house in which the Marowitz
family lived was completely wrecked.
and the body of Mrs. Maruwitz was
found 400 feet away, every bone in
her body being broken and her clothing
completely stripped of. The body Of
her husband was found amid the debris
of their home horribly mutilated.
William Hilstrom was struck on the
head by q falling tree and his skull
crushed. He afterward died at the
hospital.
The engine house of the Duluth. Mis-.
sissippi & Northern railway was COM
pletely wrecked and number of loco
motives and cars were shifted from the
tracks and pounded into scrapirOn.
The engine on which Murray and An
ders were when the storm broke was
blown from the track and the men
were pinned beneath it and horribly
burned by the escaping steam. Sew
eral cars were blown from the Duluth,
Mississippi & Northern tracks and were
found in the Duluth mine pit, hum
dreds of feet away. Many of the
buildings destroyed were owned by the
mining companies, and tenanted by
their employees. The shafthouse aud
buildings of three minss were reduced
to kindling wood.
The tornado which lasted less than
five minutes, was preceded by an un-
usually severe thunder and rain storm.
The rain has flooded many of the open
pit mines, and they cannot be operated
for some time.
