The Marvellous Cure of Mrs. Cook,
of Gardner, Kansas.

Rheumatism, terrible in its acute and
long enduring in it's chronic form. is one of
the most baneful diseases that human be-
ings suffer from. 1t is a disease that will
not bear neglect, for if not treated prompt
ly will remain till death to harass, torture
and make life miserable.
rheumatism is also a constitutional dis
order and hereditary. Because of an in
active condition of the kidneys and bowels
the blood is not purified. and an acrid poi
son is formed and deposited i'm the muscles
and joints. and this causes the infamma-
tion and intense agonies that thousands
are obliged to endure. Too often, the eff
fects of rheumatism are fatal, especially
when the dread disease affects the heart:
then death is sudden. Many other serious
complications result from this terrible dis
ease. such as pneumonia, pleurisy. menin-
gifts and diaphragmitis, and these often
prove rapidly fatal.
Racked and tortured reader, what are
you doing to get rid of your danger? Ply
sicians candidly admit their inability TO
cure. The ordinary medicines of the day
may give you relief for a few hours or
days; they cannot Danish the disease from
your blood, joints and muscles; they cannot
take the swellings from your knees. elbows
or wrists, or make supple the stifened and
twisted limbs. You cannot longer afford TO
experiment; death is the sure result Of ex-
pertinent and neglect.
To-day your only hope lies in the immedi-
ate use of DR.. Phelps's wonderful rheuma-
tism banisher-Paine's Celery Compound.
This tested and world-famed vanquisher of
rheumatism, neuralgia and other troubles
that arise from impure and poisoned blood
is now fully recognized by the medical pro-
fession as a positive and unfailing cure. The
following important letter sent by Mrs.
Cook, is but one OF the many thousands
received from prominent and ~well-known
people in every State of the Union. who
have been cured by Paine's Celery Com
pound. Mrs. Cook says:
Il was sorely afflicted with rheumatism
some time ago. so much so that ! was un-
able TO go about the house: | had TO be
carried. | tried all kinds OF medicines and
liniments 10 no effect. For months / was
helpless, unable to turn myself in bed. and
suffering with pain which was almost un-
endurable. Finally. by chance, l noticed ar
advertisement Of Paine's Celery Compound
and concluded 10 try IT, After using one
bottle Il seemed 10 be helping me. and
continued TO use IL until / had no more
pains. Since then / have beer
able TO do my Homework, and have beer
free from rheumatism.

BLOOMINGTON. nd, April 1.-The bust
ness of the Southern Indiana Teachers
Association began this morning and an in
teresting programme has been in progress
all day. The attendance is estimated at
about 1900, which is the largest in the his
tory of the association. The reception last
night was an unusually interesting occa-
sion, and the gymnasium was crowded until
there was not standing room.
The exercises began this morning at 3
o'clock with a general assembling in the
gymnasium for the lecture by DR.. n. c.

been the case, there was no discrimination
made on account of color.
After the chapel exercises the association
divided into the high school, primary and
musical sections, there being a large at
enhance in all the departments, and the
programmes were carried out as arranged.
During the day the university was open and
special exhibits were given In all the de-
partmentS. At times the library was so
crowded that il was necessary to close the
doors that those inside might better in
spect the building. The physics department
has always been of unusual interest. and
exhibits were made with a number of eX-
periments that were of special interest.
An interesting feature of the associa-
ton meeting has been the reunion OF many
Indiana University graduates. The instl-
tuition has more graduates within the aSSo-
citation than any other university, and to-
day has been more like a commencement

tinue tomorrow, with an adjournment
at about 1870 so the teachers may leave

ATLANTIC CITY'S FIRE.
Scene of DesoIation on the Beach
Front-Board Walk to BE Repaired.

ATLANTIC CITY. y. J., April 4-The
beach front between Illinois and New York
avenues to-day presents a scene of ruin and
desolation. OF the many fine hotels which
were situated in the district visited by yes
terday's fire there remain standing the un-
burned portion of the Windsor Hotel at the
board walk and Illinois avenue, and the
charred framework of the Rio Grande
Hotel on New York avenue. Between these
two structures lies a blackened waste,
scarcely a stick being left TO identify any
one of the numerous buildings destroyed by
the fire. The shell of the Academy of Mu-
sic remains standing. and this is notable as
the theater was the only brick building in
the burned area. All through the night the
beach, board walk and avenues near the
scene OF the fire Were patrolled by the
Morris Guards and Company L of the Ma
tional Guard. During the day the soldiers
were relieved from duty, the police force
OF the city being adequate TO handle the
crowds which visited the scene after the
fire
While great sympathy is generally ex-
pressed for the sufferers by the fire. the
impression prevails that the disastrous Wis
itation Will not be without good results, as
II has opened the way TO improvements.
which II is conceded were a necessity. The
municipal authorities were the first 10 be

night, a force of workmen was put to work

planks, which were 10 have been used i'm
r%enovating another section. were used to
reconstruct a portion of the burned walk.
Many articles OF bric-a-brac and house
hold furniture which were not lost in the
fire were destroyed in removing to places
of safety. The beach and vacant lots in
the district of the fire are strewn with
tables, crockery. bedding, kitchen utensils
and Jugs. and on New York avenue a Grand
piano stands alone in about a foot Of mud.
The insurance underwriters maintain that
their eStimate of the loss last night is cor
rect. but the victims assert hat this esti-
mate refers only TO the realty loss. Many
of them claim 20 carry no insurance and
those that are insured say the damage TO
personal property and stock will greatly
increase the total loss.
