Mrs. De Long Finds that the Indescribabls
Pains of Rheumatism Can be Cured
Through the Blood.
Mrs. E. M. De Long, of No. 160 West
Broadway, Council Bluffs, Iowa, found
herself suddenly attacked by rheuma-
tism in the winter of 1896. She gave
the doctor a chance to help her, which
he failed to improve, and then she did
some thinking and experimenting of her
own. She was so successful that she
deems it her duty to tell the story of her
escape from suffering:
"My brother-in-law," she says, was
enthusiastic on the subject of DR.. Will
iams' Pink Pills as q purifier of the
blood, and when l was suffering extreme
pains in the joints of my ankles, knees,
hips, wrists and elbows, and the doctor
was giving me no relief, began to re-
fleet that rheumatism is disease of
the blood and that, if DIR. Williams Pink
Pills are so good for the blood, they
must be good for rheumatism and worth
trial.

sure I continued to use them about two
weeks longer and then stopped alto

reason to use them for myself, but I

DIR. Williams Pink Pills furnish the
blood with all the elements that are
needed to build up healthy tissue, strong
muscles and nerves, capable of bearing
the strain that nature puts upon them.
They really make new blood and cure

A DELIGHTFUL CATASTROPHE.


After the terrible steamship and
railway accidents which made the
past season memorable. 1t is pleasant
70 read of an affair so delightful for
H1 victims as the recent sinking Of the
Mississippi River steamer Chalmette
proved to be. The Chalmette was the
last of the old-time cotton packets on
the Mississippi There are many big
stern-wheel cotton-carriers, and sever
~ sidewheel passenger boats, but the
Chalmette was relic of the old st.
Iouis-New Orleans trade. She was the
City Of Vicksburg of the Anchor line,
but was rebuilt some years ago to
carry cotton to the port Of Chalmette,

i've thousand five hundred bales on
her spacious deck. and with her guards
Awash and the cotton stacked high
above her cabin deck, was a spectacle
once common, henceforth to be un-
known, on the river. When the Louisi-
ana Purchase Exposition opened she
was put on as through boat from
New Orleans to the fair, and thus
opened a trade which had been dead
1oR some years.
On Saturday In July she started

THE UNITED STATES WILL SOON

A Crop of 60, 1000, 900 Bushels of Wheat
VIII Be the Record of 1904.

A Crop of 6O,OOO, 900 Bushels of Wheat
Will Be the Record of 1904.
The results of the threshing in West
ern Canada are not yet completed, but
from information at hand, it is safe to
say that the average per acre will be
reasonably high, Ind a fair estimate
will place the total yield of wheat at
60,00O,OOO bushels. At present prices
this will add to the wealth of the farm
ers nearly S6O.OOO,OOO. Then think Of
the immense yield of oats and barley
and the large herds of cattle, for all Of
which good prices will be paid.
The following official teNgram was
sent by Honorable Clifford Sifton,
Minister Of the Interior, to Lord
Strathcona, High Commissioners for
Canada:
Am now able to state definitely that
under conditions of unusual difficulty
in Northwest a fair average crop OF
wheat Of good quality has been reaped
and is now secure from substantial
damage. The reports of injury by frost
and rust were grossly exaggerated. The
wheat of Manitoba and Northwest Ter
ritories will aggregate from fifty-five
to sixty million bushels The quality Is
good and the price is ranging around
one dollar per bushel."
Frank III. Spearman, in the Saturday
Evening Post. says:
when our first transcontinental
railroad was built, learned men at
tempted by isotherman demonstration
to prove that wheat could not profit
ably be grown north Of where the line
was projected; but the real granary of
the world lies up to 800 miles north of
the Canadian Pacific Railroad, and the
day is not definitely distant when the
United States will knock at the doors
of Canada for its bread. Railroad men
see such a day; 1t may be hoped that
statesmen also will see it, and arrange
their reciprocif while they may do
70 gracefully. Americans alressv have
swarmed into that far country, and to

PICTURESQUE INDIAN GAMES.
Real Game Of Ball Which L. Some

Real Game Of Ball Which L. Some
what Like Lacrosse.
OF Indian sports and games the only
ones that survive among the Creeks of
Indian Territory are Indian ball, the
stomp dance and the fish killing, says
the Minneapolis Tribune.
Indian ball Is a peculiar game. 1t
is as much the national game Of the
Greeks as baseball is our national
game.
1t Is played on a ground almost like
a gridiron. There are two goals, $50
yards apart, and the object is to pass
the ball between these goals. The ball
is like baseball, made of yarn, COW
cred with deer skin. A stick about
two feet long, with a spoon shape at
the end, backed by thong laces, is used,
and in this spoon the Indian must
catch the ball. He is not allowed to
touch it with his hands. He catches
and throws 1t with his club.
The game Is skirmish all the time
between twenty players on ode. An
Indian catches the ball In his stick
and starts to run for his goal. He Is
Immediately tacklel by his opponents
and tries to throw the ball. The op-
ponent players strike his stick II they
can and II not they strike whatever
Is In reach, often the head of the
player or his person. These games
are sometimes scenes Of bloodshed, es-
pecialiy when played between rival In
dian towns. and many a player has
been killed In the game.
When women play they are allowed
to use their hands In addition to the
stckR They can throw the hall any
way they like. They are ~ fleet as
the men and, with the advantage of
their hands, often win
4 contest consists Of twenty-one
points and there Is no time limit. They
play until one side has put the ball
through the goal twenty-one times.
Last year there was little Indian ball.
This year the Creeks seem to have
the ball fever.

all the towns, but now only in the

ayers Of the party machinery would
assail enterprises in which their own
interests are bound up. Whatever the
western wing of the party may say,
the eastern wing is not going to COM
NIT financial hara-kari in the interest
of party harmony.
The amount of it is that the So
called reorganization" of the Demo-
cratic party has merely introduced dis
cord and distrust into its rasks. No
longer coherest aggregation of social
istic, populistic advocates of fat money
and reputation, the party has become
a free fight, where the head in sight
is smitten because every man is every
other mans foe.
There is no Democratic harmony,
because there is no Democratic party
Chicago Chronicle.

Not a Party, but a Free Fight.

Considering that the so-called Demo
cratic party is not party at all, but
an inharmonious mob composed of all
the political riff-raff that can find no
abiding place elsewhere, it is not sur
prising that the rows and wrangles
within its ranks should continually be
upoI the point Of violent explosion.
These wrangles were to have been ex-
pected when elements so acutely at va
rance as the trans-Missouri Bryan
ties and the Wall street BelmOntites
undertook to sleep under the same
party coverlid.
There is absolutely nothing in COM
mon between these two forces. They
are fundamentally antagonistic to each
other on most Of the vital political is
sues of the day. They hate each other
far more cordially than they hate the
Republicans.
Hence it is that there is not even a
perfunctory agreement upon the for
NAL platform of the party. There was
such an agreement in 1896 and 1900;
there is none to-day. Whatever there
is of real platform has been promul-
gated not by the st. Louis convention
but by the head of the Democratic
ticket.
Judge Parker supplied. after a fash
ion, the omission of any reference to
the currency, and he interpreted the
Philippine proonuncement to mean
"scuttle." These are the only two is
sues upon which there is even SEM
blance of authoritative democratic
deliverance. The rest are awry.
On the tariff there is no unity. The
platform declares projection to be
robbery, but no Democratic orator says
so. On the contrary, all the sooth-
sayers and spellbinders unite In vocif
Grating that the Democratic purpose
Is revision, not destruction Of the tariff
schedules. The platform is clearly
shown to have been mere catch-vote
device, which is now repudiated, since
it Is q failure in that line.

Ger P.ctures of Microbes.

Il the photographing of living disease
germs, says the New York Herald.
Given the complicated machinery and
processes required to get the negative
films for any set Of life-motion pic
lures, the method of securing the films
for germ Life Is simpler than might
be supposed. The living germs to be
pictured are put on a lantern slide
in blood or water or other suitable
medium and projected on screen,
Just as they might be by physician
giving q lecture and showing to the
class the actual like germs and their
habits.
Alongside of the lantern is placed
the machine for getting the negative
films Of the hfe-motion pictures, and
It Is operated-taking pictures Of the
projection on the screen at the rate Of
about thirty second as by the ordi-
nary method. The lantern, as usually
operated, magnifies the germ and
whatever else the slide contains about
1000 900 times. The negative film ma
chine magnifes the image on the
screen about three times, the resulting
total magnifcation being 5000. 900.

way it may be used in the ordinary
