HOW TO WARD OFF AN ATTACK
 OF RHEUMATISM.

For years when spring time came on and I went into gardening, I was sure to have an attack of rheumatism and every attack was more severe than the preceding one" says Josie Mcdonald, of Man, Logan county, West Va. T tried everything with no relief whatever, until I procured a bottle of Chamberlains Pain Balm, and the first application gave me ease, and be- fore the first bottle was used I felt like a new person. Now I feel that I am cured. but I always keep a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm in the hous , and when 1 feel any symptoms of a return I soon drive it away with one or two applications of this liniment."

Then they cleanse and invieorate the stomach and leave the bowels in a natural condt uon, while pills are more harsh in ef- feet and their use is often followed by constipation.

KILLED BY A FALL.
Death of an old Prospector Due to
 Accident in HuachUcas.

Pete Conner. for many years a pros pector and miner in this county. 2cci- dentally killed himself in the Hua- chuca mountains last Saturday even ing about : o'clock. says the Bisbee Review. He was buried Sunday after noon with simple ceremonies.
 About four years ago Connor sold the Exposed Reef mine for large sum of money and since that time has been drinking freely. He has spent his money right and left. and was the greater part of the time under the in nUence of liquor.
 The news of Connor'S death was brought to Tombstone and Justice. Wardwell left there Sunday to hold an inquest on the remains of the deceas- cd. The verdict said that death was due to an accident for which the de- ceased was alone to blame.
 Saturday evening Conner was sitting in the office of the exposed Reef com- pany and was asked to go to supper He replied that he did not care to eat, and was left alone
 Nearly an hour later men returned to the office and found Conner on the floor gasping. He died before they could lift him. Conner evidently rose from his position to walk out of the building, but was unable to keep hls feet and pitched forward. His chin struck the corner of a typewriter stand.
