A MINERS TROUBLE.
Reaches A Climax After Years Of Slow
Development.
A Settlement Happily Effected in the
Case of Henry Story in Time TO
Avert a Serious Misfortune.

II all the troubles of the coal miners
could be adjusted as satisfactorily as
that which for many months disturbed
1.-The happiness Of Mr.. Henry Story, OF
532 Muskingum avenue, GAINESVILLE
| Ohio. it would be most welcome re-
| lief for both the men and their families
| The miners form large and impor-
tant part of our population. and they
VIII be greatly interested in the solu-
ton which Mr.. Story found for dim :
culty in which any one Of them may
| find himself at any moment, as it is
frequent incident in the miners occu-
nation and a serious hindrance to his
success.
| The facts in the case were related by
Mrs. Story. who was deeply concerned
and who is a very happy woman today
because her husband has had such a
fortunate escape from the calamity that
threatened him.
MY husband" says Mrs Story. rs
very hard working man and has al
ways been very healthy, but some
months ago rheumatism got hold OF
him. and made him suffer terribly, and
would soon have used him up if it had

the best medicine in the world.
He suffered so much in his legs that
he could hardly stand; his back hurt.
and he had such pain in his lett arm

arm would turn numb and | would have

tried everything could think of to
give him relief.
"At last he went to n doctor, who told
| him that his trouble had come from
hard work. The doctor gave him some
medicine, but it did not do any good.
I'm the meantime l picked up pa
per and read about DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People and thought my
husbands trouble might be with his
nerves. got two boxes of the pills for
him and had to urge him to take them.
because he had always been so healthy
that he was not in the habit of taking
medicine.
After he had taken the first box he
felt much better. and when he had fin
ished the second box he was better
still. SO I bought six boxes the next
time and he took four of Them that is
six boxes in all. That is three months
ago and he has never had an ache Or
pain since and can do a hard days
work with any young man. We praise
DR.. Williams Pink Pills to all our
friends
These famous pills cure all diseases
of the blood such as rheumatism, and
of the nerves such as neuralgia and
partial paralysis. They effect radical
cures in obstinate maladies because

pelling all poisons from the blood, and
supplying nutritive elements that re-

not have supported Mr.. Mead if he had
had the slightest idea that he was
railroad man. j. G. Farrell. represen-
tative of jim Hill and Jim Hills rail-
roads in this state, who made the ia
nous midnight ride on a special tram
from Seattle to Tacoma, and after ar
irving there gave his consent to
Mead's nomination, says that he only
gave his consent from pure patriotic
motives and had no idea and did not
care if Mr.. Mead was a railroad man.
Benjamin GrOSscup. attorney for the
Northern Pacific railroad at Tacoma,
says that while he was one of the prin-
cipal factors that brought about the
nomination of Mr.. Mead, he did it alone
for the welfare of his state and coun-
try Charles Bedford. who was elected
to the legislature in 1898, served one
term in the Legislature and thereafter
two terms in the railroad lobby as
messenger boy for Mr.. GrOsscup, says
that he knows Mr.. Mead is not a rail-
road man because Mr. Grosscup told
him so and that Mr.. GrOsscup instruct
ed him to go forth and spread the glad
tidings everywhere in Sunday school
and out of Sunday school.
With all these patriots so testifying
it would seem that none but the most
skeptical would suspicion that Mr..
Mead was q railroad man. But yet l
have always thought that railroad men
are hired to serve their employers.
Men occupying the position that these
men do seldom betray their trust and
if they were honest and true to the
interests that employ them, they
employers would consider it their duty
to nominate strictly railroad man.
If they fail to do so they failed to do
that which was expected of them by
those railroads who pay their salaries.
For none I have not the slightest idea
but what these men who supported AL
bert E. Mead for governor did it be-
lieving that Albert f. Mead was rail-
road man. There are several other
ways we may ascertain the fact
whether Mr.. Mead is a railroad man
or not. A brief history of the railway
commission may help US to determine
whether or not Mr.. Mead is a railway
