dietments against Charles I. Tucker,
were filed in the East Cambridge court
this morning, by Valley, Innes & Mans
ED, counsel for the defendant. One com
plains that the indictment is faulty,
while the plea for abatement is based
on the assertion that Gen. III II. Whit

sion save the witnesses, the prosecuting

A Word About
Rheumatism

This most painful and nerve-racking
disease. as we all know, Is caused from
impure blood and uric acid poison. Only
temporary relief can be obtained from
external application. The only sure way
to secure permanent relief Is to eradicate
from the system the Impurities causing
the trouble. The seat Of nearly all inter-
nal diseases including rheumatism, is
the stomach therefore that organ Is the
first to consider In commencing treat
mcnt. Seven Banks" may be relied upon
TO not only restore the diseased stomach
to normal conditions, but 1t also supplies
a cathartic for the liver and a diuretic
for the kidneys. Seven Banks" may not
cure Rheumatism in a week, nor in a
month. 1t takes time to restore diseased
organs. eradicate the uric acid and purify
the blood. Old cases are especially slow,
but If you viii have patience and faith
Seven Banks will finally and surely
dispel every particle of poison in your
system, and when once free an occasional
dose will prevent reoccurfence. Mrs.
Lizzie York, of Denton, Ark, writes;-
Il have used Seven Banks for Rheu-
natism, and It certainly Will do all yots

ferlng from this ailment, for 1 know 1t
Rev. w. b. strader, pastor First Bap-
fist Church, OF Casey Ill, in q personal

my wife was sorely afflicted with
Rheumatism in the feet. I tried doctors
and many remedies, but she got no bet-
ter until she tried Seven BaTks,' which
proved a great blessing TO her"
We can exhibit reams Of letters from
thankful patients received during the
past thirty years. demonstrating beyond
question that Seven Barks," when taken
persistentiy and according TO directions,
will positively cure rheumatism. Ask

the fact that sorghum ranks easily
among the best varieties of cheap
stock food. Best because horses and
mules thrive we'll upon it when not
worked, and cheapest because it can
be grown with but little labor and by
reason OF the great quantity that can
be grown on a small area. The
horses love it, the COWS love it and
as for the children and pigs they
fatten on it. The wise and provi-
dent owner of stock will plant largely
of sorghum. Small areas should be
planted at intervals. Then an abun-
dance of ripe, juicy, sweet forage can
be fed till frost, when it can be hous
ed for winter. Those who have
tried it will be certain to plant
largely and those who have not tried
it should do 30.

Anxious to Please.

This tale was told by Governor
Pennypacker, (n beginning re-
sponse at a Pennsylvania German
banquet in Philadelphia. The story,
be said, showed the readiness of the
Pennsylvania Dutchmsn to obey
those in authority:
10 1864 Sheridan, under orders,
burned every farm house from a val
ley above Staunton to a certain point
below Winchester. A band of angry
rebels followed this raid, watching
for chance to pick up any ssstrag-
glers.
Among others who fell into their
hands was little Pennsylvania
Dutchmap, who quietly turned to bis
captors and Inquired:
"Vat you fellows going to do nit
me?"
Hang you"
"Vel," be said meekly, "vatever is
de rule"
His good natured reply threw the
Confederates into roar of laughter
and saved his life.
