A MINER RESCUED.

How Help Came in a Time of Emergency.
A Dubuque Man was in Situation of
Great Pain and Peril and was Almost
Hopeless.
Sin the lead mines l was at work on my
knees with my elbows pressed against rock
walls, in dampness and extremes Of cold, -
said Mr.. j. G. Meukel, OF 1915 Jackson
avenue, Dubuque, Iowa, in describing his
experience to a reporter, "and it is not sur
prising that contracted rheumatism. For
three years l had attacks affecting the
joints of my ankles, knees and elbows.
My ankles and knees became so swollen
could scarcely walk on uneven ground and
little pressure from stone under my
feet would cause SO much pain that
would nearly sink down. l was often
obliged to lie in bed for several days at a
time. My friends who were similarly
troubled were getting no relief from doc
money away for nothing. By chance | read
the story Of Robert Yates, of the Klauer
Manufacturing Co., of Dubuque, who had
very bad case of rheumatism. ! decided to
try DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,
the remedy he had used. In three or four
weeks after beginning to use the pills,
was much better and in three months was
well. The swelling of the joints and the
tenderness disappeared, l could work
steadily and for eight years l have had no
return Of the trouble. Ny whole family
believe in DR.. Williams Pink Pills. Both
my sons use them. We consider them
household remedy that we are sure about"
This is convincing testimony, easily veri-
fed, from plain, earnest man who knows
that he has escaped the clutches of ter
rible disease and who is profoundly CRATE
full and anxious to help others.
MIR. Meukel is a thrifty miner, and well
known citizen of Dubuque. No one could
imagine that he had reached his SEVENTEEN
year as he is seen going to his daily work
with vigorous step and erect bearing. DR..
Williams Pink Pills did more for him than
simply give relief. They eradicated the
disease by getting at the seat of the diff
Guilty in the blood. These pills are equally
efticaci0us in the treatment Of other OBJ
stinate troubles such as lOcOmotOr ataxia,
partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, scixtica,
neuralgia, nervous headache, after effects
of the grip, an@mia and all forms Of weak
ness either in male or female. They are
sold by all druggists, or may be obtained
directly from the pr; Williams Medicine
Co., Schenectady, N. Y, fifty cents box.

rHr sHIp BUILDING SCANDAL.

Probably the most charitable thing
that can be said about the organization
of the United States Ship Building Co.
is that it is the work of amateurs. No
recognized authority in the financial
world had anything to do with it. How
ever, it is to be supposed that every
mortal is born with certain intnitive
sense of right and wrong and it is sur
prising that this inherited knowledge
did not come to the rescue of some of
them. 1t seems incredible that they
should have supposed it would never
be known. That poor company never
had the slightest chance to live. 1t was
never for moment going concern
and never had any prospect of being
such. Not one of the promoters stands
as high today in the opinion of his fell
lowmen as he did before he went into
this company. No man can read the
report of the receiver and not feel con-
tempt for such breed of promoters. 1t
is useless to deny the mischief which
this exposure has caused. 1t has made
the investing public look with suspic-
ion upon legitimate enterprise, which,
added to the general downward trend
of prices, has served to unsettle indus
trial affairs generally. But it is to be
remembered that the promoters of the
ship building company do not repre-
sent the sober business element of the
country. The central figure was al
ready discredited before the company
was formed. 1t is to be hoped that the
redress that Mr.. Smith, the receiver,
recommends, is to be obtained-that of
recovery from the promoters and or
ganizers of the securities which they
received without consideration. The
affair, however, is not without its les
son. 1t has pointed out some radical
defects in the New Jersey corporation
law which that State for its own good,
should amend. In the first place the
details of organization should not be
attended to by clerks in the employ of
Of some trust company: they should be
carried out by those who are response
BILE for the company. Again there
should be strict rules concerning the
character of the allegations in the pro-
spectus. Assuredly it should be a
truthful document. 1t should not be
drawn deliberately to deceive as the
prospectus of the ship building com
pany apparently was, for it bore no re-
lation to the truth whatever. \ per-
sonal liability on the part of the par
ties most interested in floating these
glittering documents would be salu-
tory provision. 1t is not likely that the
country will be disgraced for some
time to come with such departure
from the financial code of ethics, but If
anything comes of it to safeguard the
interests of stockholders in other en-
terprises of doubtful merit the expo
sure may not have been vain.-Marine

Determination Of the Clam"
To the Editor of The Tribune Farmer.

To the Editor of The Tribune Farmer.
Sir: In the recent issue of The Tribune
Farmer appeared an excellent editorial on
the determination of the clam, referring to
the waters of the New York and New Jer-
sey coasts. / wish to add a few facts.
The coast waters of Maine, in the region
of the PeuObscot Bay and its scores OF beau
tiful islands, have Tor generations produced
thousands of barrels of CLANS every season.
In some places the clam beaches cover sew
eral acres, where there are small coves pc
tween high, rocky headlands. When the
tide recedes these shallow places are dry,
and the clam diggers have several hours for
work before being driven off by the rising
waters. The CLANS are Immensely pr0nhc,
and the residents along the asst, who un-
derstand when to dig, would never exhaust
them. But in recent years new danger
has appeared, and their virtual extermlna-
ton is now only question of little time.
The Gamers, usually in January and Feb
ruary, send IA crew of men, who anchor a
small schooner in a sheltered bay, and the
diggers bring their rOwbOats to the shore.
In few hours, while the tide favOrs, every
square foot of clam bed is dug over, and
nearly every mOllusk, both little and big, is
taken. But this process even, bad as it Is,
would not cause determination, for a few
would escape the eye of the disgers
and reproduce the species. But the
real danger is due to the fact that the dig
gers work for days when the temperature
is below the freezing point. During these
frosty days, wien the thermometer is to Is
degrees below freezing, the diggers i'll few
hours dig over a whole clam bed, and IN
this way millions of tiny creatures-that
would be fully grown in a season or two
by being exposed to the intense cold, perish
before the rising tide comes to their protec-
ton. By this process some clam beaches,
once immensely fertile. have become entire
ly exhausted. and others are on the way.
Thus. the owners of the clam cannerieS will,
in their greed, kill the goose that lays the
golden egg.

Vigorous Old Age

Paine's Celery Compound makes the old
feel young, and cures their ills. 1t has added
years of health and enjoyment to many a life.
Use this great medicine regularly, and its invig
Grating powers will fiji your declining years
with health, strength, and happiness. Read
what George F. Morse, 81 years old, writes:-
WELLS & RICHARDSON Co.,
Genaemen Just a word in favor of
Paine's Celery Compound, hoping it may catch
the eye of some afflicted person, and they
may receive the same satisfactory benefit.
Some Is years ago l had a combination of
malaria, chills and fever, and grip, which con-
tinued for year or more; meantime lost in
weight about 70 pounds, trying different medi-
cines and doctors with unsatisfactory results.
Paine's Celery Compound was recommended,
and, after using a little began to improve,
gaining about pound week. In year I
had regained 50 pounds of the lost weight and
good health and have been well man ever
since. Yours truly, GEORGE F. MORSE.

AsIomazoff. who a few weeks ago
startled the community by cutting the
tbroat of his seven-month-Old son on
the threshold OF the church. He was
at once arrested and taken before
indge. whereupon he gave an extraor-
dinerv explanation Of his conduct.
A few years CO. he said, he was very
sick. and one night st. John appeared
10 him in dream and took him into a
valley. where he saw God seated on q
throne of gold. The Almighty he con
timed then said to him, Ivan, l viii
restore your good health to you but IN
time YOU will have son, and as soon
os he is seven months old you must
offer him up as a sacrifice" Aslama-
zoff said that many times since then he
has prayed God to spare his son, but
that as the Almighty made no re-
snonse. he considered it his duty to
sacrifice him.
His story made great impression on
the people, and the general opinion was
that he had acted like a saint and ina,
the authorities had no right to arres'
him.
