WONDERS OF SURGERY.
Discounted by a Marvellous Remedy
for Human Ills.
Mrs. Frances Catalan, of Virginia
City, Nevada, has a Remarkable
Experience Life Saved
by an Indian Remedy.

Newspapers never seem to tire of
publishing wonderful stories about the
marvels of modern surgery. One man
has a section of his spine removed and
d carefully modelled silver vertebra
substituted for the natural bone.
Another mas his whole stomach re-
moved and put back again.
Wonderful as are these performances
OF men of science, a remedy which,
without fuss or DO Their, goes straight
to the seat of disease and cures it is
Sill ore wonderful. We are apt to
overlook means which work quietly
and give credit to extrao rdinary means
Of procedure.
1t is certain that the North American
Indians, children of the forest and
plain, possessed many valuable secrets
OF nature for the cure of disease. One
Of these secrets, preserved for I'M
counted generations by the Kickapoo
Indian Tribe, is now a permanent part
Of the worlds medical knowledge. and
Known as the Kickapoo Indian Sagwa.
Thousand all over this state are being
benefited by its use.
Here is a sample letter from hundreds
received:
" KICKAPoo INDIAN MEDICINE Co..
Gentlemen - For years | suffered
with serious stomach trouble. | took
nanydifferent medicines, almost every.
thing, yet nothing helped me until

Yours sincerely,
MRS. FRANCES CATALAN"
Virginia City, Nevada.
Is there any reason to believe that
your experience when taking Kickapoo
Indian Sagwa will be any different
from Mrs. Cahalan's? No, certainly
not. If Sagwa can cure her. it can
care you. The question is will you
give it a chance. Sagwa is sold under
a positive guarantee, your money re-

Another aged woman whose eyesight Is still good makes hand sewed garments for babies. Another, who lately died, had for years kept the pot boiling by making Canton flannel animals for the delight of small children. Such animals, made by an old lady on Cape Cod, were among the best seiling articles at the suffrage bazaars in Boston years ago. There is no end to the ways of making a little money. The employment bureau of the exchange fur nishes workers for all sorts of odd em- ployment. airing pet animals, dustng bric-a-brac, addressing invitations. car ing for lamps, plants and silver, packing trunks or opening and closing houses.

 Webb, colored, who killed Policeman w.

 There was a steady downpour of rain

 early and for two hours there was
 preaching and singing. Webb entered in-
 to these services, walking about the room
 and smiling always. At 30 o'clock the
 preaching and singing came to an end
 and handcuffs were placed about the ne-
 gro's wrists. The crowd which was to
 be admitted to the jail had grown to about 200 Umbrellas were ordered low cred and at Il 50 the march to the gal lows began. Deputy Sheriff Love, who had tied sixteen knots previous to this one. was on the gallows when the negro walked up. As Webb ascended the steps he cried out;
 Everybody near, l am ready to die. Hallelujah."
 At the top of the steps while turning around on the trap he said: T am go- ing to walk my way to Zion. Hallelujah." At 11:53 o'clock the trap was sprung by Sheriff BurEin and the body of the ne gro shot down, a drop of ' 1-2 feet. There

STUDENT SENT HOME.
URAL ROBINSON LEFT COLLEGE
 WRECKED IN HEALTH.
Friends of the Young Man Believe that He Had . Marrow Escape from Death. An Interview
 with MT. Robinson.

Mir. Ural Robinson was student at a business college in Canton. until recently when he was compelled to give up his studies and return to his home at Osna- burg, Ohio. This was the beginning of an illness that brought him near to death, as will be seen by the following inter- view:
 T broke down all of a sudden" says Mir. Robinson, T had headaches all the time and was a nervous wreck. For three months I was under a physicians care and, although I spent considerable money for medicines, nothing helped me. At this time a severe attack of rheumatism came on and made me helpless. My limbs and hands were swollen and caused me in- tense pain. I could not move without suf- fering agonies and any solid food dis tressed me. The medicine my doctor gave me would not stay on my stomach, con- sequently I became greatly reduced in flesh and was so weak I could not leave my bed.
 My mother had great faith in Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People and suggested that I try them. I was agree ably surprised to find that my stomach would retain these pills and soon saw that I was being benefited. By the time that had finished taking the fifth box was tHOTOuSHly Cufeu. Ahy cure IS per- manent, too, and I have never enjoyed better health than I have since being cured by pr. Williams Pink Pills"
 MT. Robinson's address Is Rural Free Delivery No. 1, Osnaburg, Ohio. and his remarkable euro of complication of nervous trouble and acute rheumatism can easily be verified.
 Mr. Robinson suffered from two causes a nervous disorder and a disease of the blood. No other remedy would have been so well adapted for his case as Dr. Will Hams Pink Pills because they act both on the blood and on the nerves. It is this that constitutes the secret of Dr. Will Hams discovery and that makes these pills different from any other medicine. It has been proven that Dr. Williams Pink Pills have cured such diseases as | locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis. St. | vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheuma- tism, nervous headache. the after effects of the grip. palpitation of the heart, pale | and sallow complications and all forms of
 weakness either in male or female. They are sold by all druggists. or direct from | Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,. Schenectady | N. Y. Price fifty cents per box; six l boxes. two dollars and a half.

March 13.-Guesepinni Capi- tano, aged 46, attempted to commit suicide on an Atlantic Coast Line train near this city early this morning With an ordi- nary pen knife, she jabbed her throat six times. and but for the interpretation of the conductor would have killed herself. This afternoon the doctor reports her condition very serious, but not hopeless.
 She was en route from Jersey City to Tampa, Fla. and told an interpreter here that she had two sons working at the Charleston water works, but efforts to lo- cate them have been so far futile. The woman was accompanied by a 9-year-old boy Italian Consul Sotille says that she has two sons at Tampa and that the passport found among her effects is dated at Bovine, Sicily

Hitch in seaboard Arrangement.

The Board of Mayor and Aldermen of Woodlawn at an adjourned meeting last night took up the matter of adopting an ordinance covering the entrance or the Seaboard Air Line to that city and thence coming to Birmingham. After considera- ble discussion, an ordinance was adopted which grants to the Seaboard the right of way over what Is known as the old survey. The conditions attached to the grant are that the Seaboard is to erect 5000 depot. pay the city s1o0o for the use of It's streets and also erect at least two bridges. It is learned that the reso- lution is not satisfactory to the repre- sentatives of the Seaboard Air Line. A hitch appears to have occurred.
