A DYING GIRL
MADE WELL BY DR.. WILLIAMS PINK
PILLS FOR PALE PEOPLE.
Bedrdden With Chronic Inflammatory
Rheumatism, Miss Walton's Life
Had Been Despared Of by
Her Doctor.

The doctor had made his last call
at the house of Miss Maggie Walton,
No. 1926 Main street. Peoria, H..
and had told her Borrowing mother
that nothing more could be done.
Maggie might die at any time. The
situation was critical enough to war
rant the doctors conclusion, for the
trouble was inflammatory rheumatism
and it had attacked the heart. But
Miss Walton is healthy, happy young
lady today. Dr.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People cured her and she
is enthusiastic in telling the story
She says:
Il was afflicted with chronic inflam-
matory rheumatism and had suffered
with it from my childhood. When l
was fourteen | was a helpless cripple,
unable to leave my bed and with my
arms and legs swollen to twice their
natural size | often tainted away
with the pain, frequently several times
during the day. Sometimes they
thought | was dead. The rheumatism
had affected my heart and that was
the cause of the fainting spells. 1t
was impossible for me to take any sol.
id food and there were days and days
when not even a spoonful OF nquld
would stay on my stomach.
when the doctor had given me up
my father determined to have me try

an improvement after the first few

A lively mix-up occurred last even
ing about 5 o'clock at the county jail
as result of which Walter Anderson
is minus a nail on one of his fingers
and another finger is pretty badly
chewed up. A black eye also adds to
his personal adornment The damage
to his appearance was the result of a
fight with a fellow prisoner, John
Thompson. Anderson was recently
convicted of rape and was sentenced
by Judge Sloan to thirty years in the
penitentiary at Fort Madison. Thomp-
son is serving six months Jail SEN
tence for breaking and entering. The
men were in one of the cages at the
Jail and became engaged in an alter
cation, which resulted in lively bat
tie until the arrival of turnkey Alva
Fielder who put stop to the proceed
ings. Dr. C. R. Russell was called and
dressed Anderson's injuries.

REPAIRING coLL!ERlEs.
Mines Are Being Rapidly Placed in
Working Condition.

WilkeSbarre, October 22-Thous-
ands OF men began repairing and plac-
ing the collieries in a condition for the
resumption of coal mining tomorrow.
They are principally steam men, en-
gineers, tiremen, and pumpmen who
struck to help the miners win their
battle. These men wanted their old
places back but in many instances the
company officials refused to discharge
those who stood by them during the
strike. The officials maintain they
will not discriminate against union
or non-union men and work will be
given all when there are vacancies.
Non-Union Men Leave.
Reports received today indicate that
scores of non-union men have given
up their positions and are leaving the
region.

work of preparing the miners side of

Start of Fire.
The fire started in the drying house,
being caused by an explosion. The
flames spread with almost incredible
rapidity and by the time the first of
the fire department had arrived the
building was ablaze from foundation
to roof.
1t was impossible for the fremen to
make any effective fight against the
flames, and in short time all the walls
were down. and the building within
one-haif hour from the time of the ex-
ploslon was mass of debris.
The fire was so hot that at one time
it was feared that the Taylor street
viaduct across which access is had to
the south side of the city would be de-
stroyed, but the firemen managed to
| save this structure after hard strug-
I gle.
They bent every effort toward saw
ing the fourteen story building of the
refinery, but so intense was the fire in
the drying house that this caught fire
in several places.
Escaped From Lower Floors.
The men employed in the three low
er floors of the drying house ran for
the doors and windows as soon as they
had knowledge of the fire, and all of
them succeeded in reaching the open
air On the third floor there was enc
man at work He was cut off from the
/ fire escape by the dense clouds of
smoke that poured throug the build
ing, and was compelled to make a
run for his life down the stairs. He
burst through mass OF flames when
he reached the lower doorway and was
badly scorched.
Two minutes later would have made
it impossible for him to make his es--
cape. The men on the seventh floor
had no chance whatever for their
lives. Several of them left the win
dows and crawled along the stills
in an effort to reach place of safety,
but with the exception of two men all
those who attempted to reach safety
: in this way made up their minds that
|; it was certain death and went back in
: to the Burning building. The two men
however, remained to take their
, chances of a leap and climbing upon
the window ledge they sprang out in
to the air.
| One of them came straight down for
the greater part of the way. but just
as he was within a short distance OF
the pavement his body swung around
and he struck the stone walk at, full
: length. The other man turned over
and over as he came whirling down.
The bodies were terribly crushed and
mangled, and it was impossible for any
of the men who saw them directly at
ter the jump to identify them in any
way.
