Rescued from Suffering
and Death by
PAINE'S
Compound
THE GREAT rIEDICINE.
Mr.. ALFRED BROWN,
A Prominent and Popular Citizen, Says:
"After the Use of Paine's Celery Compound,
| Am Now in the Best of Health"

The greatest of modern physicians, Prof.
Edward E. Phelps, M. D., Ii. D., after years
of long practice and close scientific study, gave
to suffering and diseased men and women his
marvellous, life giving prescription, with the
conviction and positive knowledge that it had
peculiar virtues and ample powers to cure.
Thousands of the strongest testimonials from
the best known and most reliable men and
women of our country fully sustain the claims
made by DR.. Phelps regarding his incompar-
able Paine's Celery Compound.
One of the most convincing proofs furnished,
comes recently from gentleman widely
known in the capital city of the Dominion of
Canada. We refer to Mr.. Alfred Brown, 81
O'Connor ST., Ottawa, Ont. Mr.. Browns
letter fully demonstrates the fact that the
greatest sufferer may cast off his or her burden
of disease and become well, strong, and happy.
1t proves, too, that the great medicine main
tains more fully than ever before its unrivaled
place in the estimation of people of wealth
and social standing as well as with the masses.
Mr.. Brown says:-
81 acknowledge with thankfulness and
pleasure the fact that have been cured of a
very painful illness of eight years standing by
use of Paine's Celery Compound. | Lad,
during the years of my illness, tried almost all
the advertised medicines without deriving any
good results. l was also treated by several of
the best doctors of this city, hoping to find
that one of them, at least, would unders's'
my case.
81 was getting worse, AMI was tn.d ; was
incurable. / was indeed critical condi-
ton. ] could not :. a'nD SpT house alone,
as l was liable y sudden coisspse. tired
hospital treatment, but no relief or good results
came t. me. could not sleep; anything that
1 ate increased my agonies; l was extremely
weak, restless, tired, and respondent; was
obliged to walk about with my hands pressed
firmly into my left side to ease my pains; my
feet and hands were cold continually; had
inclination to vomit, had profuse, cold sweats,
quick breathing, and would be racked with
pain for hours at a time.
"After the regular use of Paine's Celery
Compound for time, am now in the best of
health, have good appetite, and can use any
kind of food. Thank God l am my old self
once more, all through the use of Paine's
Celery Compound"

A VOICE FROM UTAH
Mrs. Dowd's Significant Warning
to Mothers Ct Growing Girls.

I" Mothers cannot be too careful of
girls who are approaching womanhood, :"
says Mrs. d. f. Dowd, of Nephi City,
Utah. She speaks from the fullness Of
experience, for her own trouble began
with the first critical time of her life.
''F'rom the time / was sixteen years old, I"
she says, 81 suffered constantly from
female weakness and my present good
health is due entirely to DR.. Williams
Pink Pills, as you VIII sec. caught

time and endured fortunes as a conse-
quence. My color became very bad, I
was nervous and grew constantly worse.
Then l began to have palpitation of the
heart and my blood became in a wretched
condition. felt tired and languid all
the time and was hardly able to get
around at my work.
"None of the medicines that l tried
madeany difference i'll my health. Twas
nearly discouraged when I heard from
my uncle, Mr.J Brandon, ST., of Logoch,
Manitoba, telling me that he had used
DIR. Williams Pink Pills with the great
est benefit for nervousness. Then de-
cided to try them myself, with the re-
suit that, after taking two boxes, I found
was much better. A few boxes more
made me feel like an entirely different
person and now am able to do my
work with ease. All my friends know
what good DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People have done for me-"
Any woman who is ailing with the
troubles peculiar to her sex should try
DR.. Williams Pink Pillsfor Pale People.
No discovery of modern times has proved
such blessing to women as these won

on the blood and nerves, invigorating
the body, regulating the functions, they
restore the strength and health i'll the
exhausted patient when every effort of
the physician proves unavailing.

"WERE ROUGHING IT."
Couple of Boys Who Put in a Fine
Time "On The Road"

story book than in actual life, and many

world as others have seen it in their
imagination and transferred it to the
pages of dime novels, have almost invar-
iably returned home wiser and better
boy, says the Red Wing Republican.
Will j. Ashton and Harry Hall, who
recently decided to start ont and hustle
for themselves are no exceptions. When
they first returned they were somewhat
reticient about giving their experiences,
but, later young Ashton produced his
diary, in which he had recorded the
eventful journey. We present this be-
low, and it will be read with interest by
other boys, who may think there are
places better than home:
Friday, Sept. ll.-Left Red Wing in
a pouring rain. Got as far as Wabasha

father threaten more than once to kill
his WIFE,
Rose Abraham, hired girl at Emil
Grams Jr.'s, testified that she did not
see any signs of Grams being drunk
Thursday morning. She had previously
seen him under the influence of liquor at
different times. She heard Grams say
that he had killed his wife.
The following was the verdict of the
Jury: "That we do find from the evil
dence presented to us that Augusta
Grams came to her death by being shot
by her husband, Emil Grams, with muir
derous intent. Said shooting occurred at
the home of Herman Pelliberg in Nc
Pherson township about a. M, Septem-
Der oath, 1908. The weapon used was
l0-guage double barreled shot gun
loaded with No. shot,"
Grams is Arraigned.
Emil Grams was arraigned before
Judge Shissler at ten o'clock this fore
noon on the charge of murder in the first
degree, in the shooting of his wife in
the town of Mcpherson last Thursday
morning. His preliminary examination
was set for Monday, October 18th, at 10
a. m., and he was remanded back to Jail,
no bail being allowed where such serious
charge is pending.
Yesterday afternoon Grams decided
that he wanted an attorney and asked
Sheriff Williams to summon Pau &
Pau. This firm of attorneys was re-
tanned by him to oppose the efforts of
his wife on both occasions when she
sought to secure divorce from him, and
it was natural that he should turn to
them now. When they arrived at the
Jail, he retained them to conduct his de-
tense. They do not hope to do more than
save their client from the gallows.
After his arraignment, Grams was
taken to the office of Pau & Pau, and a
private consultation was had between
them. 1t is not known what line of ac-
ton the attorneys will pursue, but every
opening seems to be closed, with the pos
sible exception of an effort to show tenn
porary insanity, which it is possible may
be used. The county attorney, on the
other hand, may be expected to overlook
nothing that will tend to disprove this
theory.
Grams was taken with earache ar neu-
ralgia OF the ear at about four o'clock
this morning and did not sleep after that.
He suffered with it during the forenoon,
and while in Pau & Pfau's office To-
cal physician was summoned. 1t is not
known whether his examination extended
to the mental condition of Grams.
Grams has not had any callers from
his family OF from anywhere else, ex-
cept his attorneys. He does not care to
see people, and talks but little to anyone.
While in court this forenoon, Grams
showed not the slightest emotion until
the portion of the warrant was read
where it was charged that he killed his
wife with a gun loaded with leaden shot.
He winked his eyelids rapidly for mo-
ment, but there was no other change in
his expression or demeanor. He paid
no attention to anyone in the room, but
followed the proceedings closely. Once
Mr. Pfau Sr. leaned over and asked him
whether he understood everything that
was said, and he replied in dry, rasp-
ing voice that he did.

BUMPER lCROPsINL.sIGAT.
Threshing Reports Show Larger Yielt
Than Was Expected.
From Saturdays Daily.

rTOm OdCuIuoy OoAy'
An estimate based upon more than one
thousand reports from points where
wheat has been threshed places this
years yield in the northwest at 2O2, 454, :
892 bushels. -
This is the highest estimate that has
been placed upon the crop this year and
it is carefully compiled. The Van Du-
SEN Harrington company of Minneapo-
lis collected the data and compiled the
estimate.
The returns show the yield per acre as
follows: Minnesota, l3.l; North Da-
kota, 1872, and South Dakota, l4.4. That
the government report has placed the
acreage too low is believed by the COM
pany.
This years acreage in the northwest
is given by the government report as
about "a per cent, or 5,393,32S for Min
nesota, 3,434,l79 for South Dakota and
4,349,65l for North Dakota. The thresh-
ing reports tend to show, however, that
the same amount of wheat, relatively,
was sown this year as in ls99.-St.

one congressman followed the Wash
ington plan of electing all at large"
Hon. A. S. Crowder of Spokane is
here to register protest against the
division of the state and has entered
a vigorous campaign to this end. He
is being assisted by Arthur J. Shaw
of Spokane. Mr.. Crowder says:
"The republicans OF eastern Wash
ington object to being sacrificed. An
eastern Washington congressional
district means the certain loss of a
republican congressman. That sec
ton of the state is ruled by farmers
and the labor unions. These two ele-
ments are eternally in conflict and the
slightest disturbance means demo
cratic votes. Nothing but the con-
tinuance of an extreme prosperity and
the great personal popularity of
Roosevelt could save that section of
the country and especially if the rail-
way commission bill fails of pass
age" -
