IN A WEAK SPOT
The Story Of an Attack and
Its RepuIss.
A Thrilling Account as Told by q
Veteran OF One Hundred and
Fifty-FOurth Indiana
Volunteers.

Jacob T. Keller, Of Girard, Kas., Is
veteran who saw long and hard ser
vice in the Civil war with the One
Hundred and Fifty-fourth Indiana
Volunteers and he tells many a story
Of bivouac and battle. He was re-
counting some of his adventures to a
reporter the other day.
"Of all my experiences in the war
and out Of it," he said, zone is most
often uppermost in my thoughts. I
had strained my hip in some manner
but I thought 1 had got over it all
right About two years after that,
however, when I was plowing for
wheat gave out again in that spot.
Rheumatism set in and had to quit
work. I tried one thing after the other
to get some relief from the pain but
nothing that l took helped me at all
and I became discouraged.
"The cords Of my left leg were
drawn SO badly that could not
straighten it out at all, nor could sit
down. MY hip and knee panied me
and suffered horribly. At times also
l had nervous headache. After try
ing number Of things, my daughter,
Mrs. Fry, who had been cured of
rheumatism by DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People, induced me ia
try that remedy. My case was a
very stubborn one and I took five
boxes of the pills before could see
much change but kept on and they
certainly did wonders for me. The
cords in my leg began to slacken and
before long it limbered so that could
use it again and be able to sit down.
Ny kidneys had been bad and the
pills soon made them better, too. DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
are grand, good medicine and re-
commend them to all who suffer as
I did"
The real cause of rheumatism is the
presence Of acid in the blood, which
irritates the sensitive tissues that unite
the joints and cover the muscles, thus
causing those indescribable tortures
which rheumatic sufferers endure.
Years ago those afflicted were bled; as
If taking away some Of the impure
blood could remedy the balance. This
folly has been abandoned and today
physicians prescribe and druggists re-
commend the use Of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People, as these
marvellous vegetable pills go directly
to the seat Of the trouble, exerting a
powerful influence in purifying and
enriching the blood by eliminating
poisonous elements and renewing
health-giving force, thus making a
potent remedy for curing this disease.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People are an unfailing specific for all
diseases arising from impoverished
blood or shattered nerves. They cure
not only rheumatism but locomotor

MOTHERS HOUR.
A Time for Confidence and
 Counsel.

When the children's hour is a thing of the far away past, because there are no more little ones to have their evening frolic or bedtime story, the hour once devoted to them becomes the mothers hour. It Is an hour in which the young woman takes her old place at her moth CTS knee as she was wont when she listened to the evening story. But now she tells the story to the mother; the story of her day, her fears, her hopes, her ideals. Happy is that daughter who can come to her mother as her best friend, as sure of her compassion AS of her counsel.
 It is often so very different. The mother does not invite the shy conf dence of the growing girl. She comes . to womanhood and between her and her

murphy e Co.,. Cotton Letter.

New York, February 26.-About the only feature in the market today was the issuing of notices on about 25,0O0 bales of March contracts; however, 1t had only a temporary effect. as they were all taken care of and prices advanced from 5 to points over opening figures. The mar ket ruled dull and rather quiet throughout the entire session, trading again being restricted on account of continued trou- ble with telegraphic service. Port re- ceipts footed up about 25,0O0 against 18,- 900 last year. Estimates tomorrow for Huston 5000 against 6,6OO and New Or leans 10000 against 5000 last year. How ever, locals paid little attention to the movement, although the continued in- crease in receipts produced bullish en- thusiasm and there is a disposition on the part of locals to realize when they can do 50 to any advantage, but offer ings to any great extent soon depress prices. New York stock on contract cot ton is now about 105,oo0 bales, with in- dication of further increase of 10000 within next week or so. Towards the close of the market some buying for New Orleans and locals improved prices some to points. The situation at pres ent is rather mixed, but sentiment in the main is rather bullish.

 back to $50. Around SIC there was a good deal of selling and this kept the market rather quiet during the afternoon. Some talk of an advance in March pre- vented shorts selling and the cotton offered was long cotton bought on the de- cline yesterday. A great many believe an effort will be made to hold the market or to advance March to a point that will attract more cotton to this city. There are rumors that 10000 or 75,O0O bales can be expected before April 1, which would make the stock large enough for all bear purposes. If the crop proves @ little larger than requirements, a large stock here can be turned loose and hold CTS would suffer in the preaK, but for the present the undertone seems steady and there Is no general disposition to bear the market. It's going to be a nar- row trading market unless the March squeeze advances the price of cotton.
