SERIOUS ACCIDENT
BefaIIs an Indina Farmer--An Old
Trouble aggravated Which
Causes Severe Suffering
From the Democrat, Goshen, Ind.


Gilbert Updegraff, a prosperous far
mer living near Goshen, Ind, in jump
ing from his wagon on to a board
some time ago, met with a serious ac-
cident.
1t was feared at first that this acct
dent was aggravated by rheumatism,
which ailment Mr.. Updegraff was trou-
bled with some time ago in an unusu-
ally severe form. In speaking of it, he
says:
About two years ago I was stricken
with rheumatism, and for a year was
severely troubled with it. 1t came on
me suddenly during the winter, l don't
know what caused it, unless 1t was ex-
posture, about the farm.
1T was the fashioned rheuma-
tism, and began in my lower limbs.
gradually working up until my arms.
hands and fingers became affected.
My body ached all over, especially my
limbs, which were swollen and these
by the following spring were almost
entirely useless. / had to hire all my
work done that spring and summer,
but did a little work in harvest time.
II must have done too much. for
soon after that I was confined to my
bed for some time. I had the family
doctor, but he didn't do me any good.
He finally said he could not help me
and advised me to try the baths, but
I couldn't afford the expense. Inquir-
les were made at the drug store for
something that would be helpful in
my case.
"The druggist recommended DIR.

soon discovered That it was benefiting
me.

that did what was claimed for it, and
when I had taken about dozen doses
of the pills I found that they were
helping me- I continued taking them

that medicine actually cured me and
I didn't take more than six or seven
boxes either.

NOTED WOMEN GAMBLERS.
The Most Famous Were Court Fa-
vorites In France and England.

Greatest of all the W0men gamblers In
the world have been the court favorites
of the vicious sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries. France has produced the I'M
est specimens of the depraved woman
gambler that the world has ever seen.
At one time Nine. de Montespan had
great run of luck at basset, and that
made Louis XVI feel good, for then he
could borrow OF her winnings. When
her luck turned and she lost as heavily
as she had won the draft on Louis got to
be so great that he abolished the game.
One night when things were coming her
way she bet a sum equal to 100000 on
the turn of single card, and the king
got grumpy because no one had the sand
to cover the bet There came a New
Years night when madame lost nearly
100000 at hoca, and on another night
she raised her losses to 81 100000.
Crossing the channel, the most famous
woman gambler of England was Nell
Gwynn, the fayorite of Charles III. In
one year her losses were 100000, which
the king paid. His last words as he lay
on his dying bed are historic, Don't let
poor Nell starye." But poor Nell" as
long as the game was fierce, could look
out for herself pretty well. Such little
loss as that of $4,000 to her rival, the
Duchess of Cleveland, was mere baga-
telle to her. Still perhaps Charles ii
was right in his solicitude for poor
Nell" for the Duchess of Mazarin died
in absolute want after she had lost So
100000 at the game.
One may scour American history and
find scarcely a celebrated woman gam
bier. Our women when they gamble at
all play like ladies at cards and dabble
little in stocks. To be sure, we've sent
some winners to Monte Carlo and others
to Sheepshead Bay, but for her who
might perhaps be called the queen of
American gamblers we are indebted to
that choice strain in the Mexican blood
which produces what the southwest calls
the sgreaser." Donna Paquita was born
in Texas. Everything about her ex-
cepting her birthplace was Mexican.
About the close of the civil war Donna
went into Mexico to rule over outlaws
and cowboys. Qualetor, an old time
gambler, with whom she fell in at the
age of II, taught her all the tricks of the
trade that he knew, and then she turned
around, and with her newly acquired
knowledge she taught him tricks that he
never dreamed Of.
Though she was only child, the rough
gamblers in Paso del Norte found that
they were no match for her. She grew
up beautiful girl, and she could cheat
SO adeptly that no one ever could catch
her at it. In 1875 she was the leader Of
a gang of greasers who were captured
after a foray. She proposed that cards
be played to see whether she should go
free or kill herself. She played for once
with gambler who was too expert for
her and lost. Instantly she drew knife
from her belt and plunged it into her
heart. At least it may be said for her
that none of the gambling favorites OF
Europe had the nerve to end her life as
Donna did.--New York Press.

BUILD BOULEVARD

tain News tells that the state
road between this city and Denver is to be
begun at once. This is road that a fell
low by the name of Blake howled against
SO much last year, villifying this paper
for supporting Senator Taylor of GleG-
wood Springs, the father OF the bill and
insisting that the road was chimerical
and dream,
The people of this valley will be glad
to know that work will commence soon
on tho road and that very shortly there
will be direct road from here by way
of the canon to DeBeque, avoiding the
old road around through the Plateau
country.
The following is the article.
"The opening Of the:proposed state
road from Denver to Grand Junction is
confidently predicted TOR the near future.
All of the appropriation, $4,000, is avail
able and the plan is to begin construc-
tion as quickly as possible.
Senator Edward Taylor of Glenwood
Springs, together with M. E. Morrill,,
chairman of Carried county, and L. r.
Willis, chairman of Of Eagle county,
called upon State Engineer McCune
yesterday to urge early commencement
of work on the great highway.
BY the act appropriating the money
for the opening of the road the governor,
the state engineer and the chairman of
the board Of each county through which
it passes are made members of the board
of construction of the road. They have
not yet done anything but meeting will
probably be called soon and something
done.
who fathered the bill in the last legisla-
ture against overwhelming odds, has
anything to say about it, The money
is on hand and the road badly needed to
develop the western part Of the state,
says the senator and for his part he ID
determined to see the scheme carried
through successfully.
Every since the time the bill first
came up it has meet with opposition
said Senator Taylor, after his interview
with the state engineer. People said it
was visionary scheme, but many OF
them row realize it's value and are in
favor OF having the work done this year.
The road will be opened through all
right and it will be done with the pres
ent appropriation and in a very short
time.
"All that is necessary is the construc-
tion Of about eight miles of road in the
Grand canon above Glenwood, the other
work required being merely incidental.
That stretch OF road is going to be very
difficult to build and when the bill was
up it was urged as an impossible an
dertaking. But we know it can be built
We have an estimate of the work, OBJ
tanned by the people in that vicinity.
According to the engineer who has
been over the route the road can be con-
structed through the canon al an sx-
penss of $1,000. That is about half
the sum appropriated. The remainder
will be ample to provide for what other
work is required. The road through the
canon will be eight miles long and it will
supplant the road over the pass and
around, thirty five miles in length"
State Engineer McCxne was non -eom-
initial on the proposition, but said
that meeting of the board Of construc-
tion would probably be called some time
after the return Of Governor Thomas to
the city.
