HARD TO BEAR
Story of a Druggist Who Was
Always Compromising Rem
edies for Others Yet
Suffered AgOnies
Himself.
From the R,publican, Eldorado, III.

Perhaps in no case where stomach
trouble was the ailment has the eff
cheney of a popular remedy been SO
thoroughly demonstrated as IN the case
of W. f. Mathis, a prominent druggist
of Eldorado, Ill. The story as told by
Mr.. Mathis is as follows:
lin the spring of 1894 l had very
serious case of indigestion. My stom-
son omm enced TO give me great trouble,
aud, while knew the nature of the
pain, | did not at first use the proper
precaution. For some time | did not
pay any attention, but it gradually
grew worse, when | consulted ply
stefan, who prescribed for me. | used
his medicine according to instructions.
| began to experience nervous spells,
became subject TO congestion of the
stomach, and considered myself III a
precarious condition. The physician s
medicine and other remedies | tried
failed to benefit me.
zone day friend urged me to try
DR.. Williams Pink Pills tor Pale Peo-
pie. | considered it useless expert
HloutJ Dut as 1 uhu trl6u every Unlug
else, | agreed to take them. That was
three and a half years ago. When
had used three boxes l could note very
plainly the change for the better.
When | had used the seventh box
was cured.
"The pills have not only cured the
indigestion, but they have also cured
my nervousness, my blood is in perfect
condition, and they have brought my
weight from lao pounds at the COM
mencement of the stomach trouble to
$50 at present.
eff any one who reads this desires
to know more of my experience | will
gladly answer letters which enclose
stamp for reply. Signed,

DROWNED HER SIX CHILDREN
DEED OF AN INSANE WOMAN
Committed at Uniontown, Washin gton
Threw Them Down Well and Then
Threw Herself In-Held Their Heads
Under the Water.

Uniontown, Wash, Feb. ga ter
rible murder of SIX helpless children
by their crazed mother has occurred
here. Mrs. Rosa Wurzer, a widow,
threw her six children, two boys and
four girls, ranging in age from to IL
years, into a we'll 80 feet deep, with
but two feet of water in the bottom,
then jumped in the we'll, and, the belief
is, held their heads under water until
all were drowned. Neighbors found
Mrs. Wurzer in the well with her six
murdered children, and putting a rope
around her body, drew her out. She
is violently insane and is restrained
with difficulty.

bluffs north Of town as we'll as test
ing the quality of the stone on the
south side OF the Yellowstone. This
expense is to be betrayed by popu-
lar subscription, and it is estimated
that the total cost will not exceed
$1,000.
After the test has been made the
stone will be submitted to Mr.. Soss
and other experts for analysis. If
found to be of the desired quality then
title to the land will be secured and a
organized with ample CAPT
tai to operate the quarries on a large
scale.
Speaking Of the possibilities of de-
veloping a great industry in the sand
stone business at Billings, Mr.. Soss
said he believed that there is no limit
to the production of a superior quality
of building stone in the immediate
vicinity of the city. He said that
there is a constant demand for a
high grade sandstone, and should
the Billings stone turn out as
he anticipated, after a certain amount
of development work has been done,
he could see no reason why several
hundred men should not secure remun'
erative employment the year round
at the Billings quarries.
The manufacturing committee of the
Business Mems association will make
every effort at once to secure a thor
ough test of the stone.
