A GREAT SUFFERER
LAY HELPLESS AND SPEEOHLEsS
FOR HOURS AT A TIME.
Sinking Spells. Headaches, Rheumatisms.
All Caused by Poor BlOOd-Cured by
DIR. Williams Pink Pills.


When Mrs. Williams was asked for
some details of the fearful illness from
which she had so long suffered, she spoke
as follows:
"Ever since l had nervous prostration.
about thirteen years ago, I have had
periodical spells of complete exhaustion.
Any excitement or unusual activity
would throw me into state Of lifeless--
ness. At the beginning my strength
would come back i'll moderate time,
but the period Of weakness kept length
ening until at last would lie helpless
as many as three hours at a stretch"
"You were under medical treatment,
of course?'
"Yes, when became so bad that 1
had to give up my homework, in May Of
1908, l was being treated for kidney
trouble, and later the doctor thought my
difficulties came from change Of life. I
was not only weak, but I had dizzy
feelings, palpitatiou of the heart, misery
after eating, hot flashes, nervous head
aches, rheumatic pains in the back and
hips. The doctor did me so little good
that gave up his treatment, and really
feared that my case was incurable."
"What saved you from your state OF
hopelessness?"
"In July of 1908 had a very bad
spell, and my husband came in one day
with little book which told of remark
able cures effected by remedy for the
blood-and the nerves, DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. He bought box for me, and
that was the beginning Of my return to.
health. My appetite grew keen, my food
no longer distressed me, my nerves were,
quieted, and my strength began to re-
vive."
"How long did you take this remedy"
"For two months only. At the end
of that time had regained my health
and cheerfulness, and my friends say
that am looking better than 1 have,
done for the past fifteen years"
Mrs. Lizzie Williams is now living at.
No. 4l6 Cedar street. Quincy, Illinois.
The pills which she praises so highly,
cure all diseases that come from inn
poyerished blood. If your system is ALI
run down, DIR. Williams Pink Pills are.
the very best remedy to take. ANY drug

THE browning figure is the presi-

nation. At his feet are Liberty and
Justice, while behind sits Time, watch
ing the hourglass, missioned, as it
were, from heaven. At the base of
the steps leading from the center
structure are the equestrian statues
of leading commanders of the army"
1t can easily be seen from the
above description just how preten-
tious was the monument proposed, and
it is evident from such of the rec
ords as exist that the members of
the association lost interest in their
task before sufficient money was col
lected to enable them to begin work
on the memorial There are many
prominent men in Washington who
think that Lincoln should have such
memorial, and they hope that the
awakened discussion of the matter
may lead to some definite result.

"The second represents a less abb

more enlightened, and hence, realizing
his bondage, startles with a love of
freedom.
THE third is the ransomed slave,

A movement to erect monument
to President Lincoln has recalled the
existence and mysterious passing of
the National Lincoln Monument asso-
citation, chartered by act of Congress,
March 30, 1867.
The plan was backed by the most
prominent men in the country at the
time, and 100000 was raised by popu-
lar subscription. The design for the
monument was executed by Clark
Mills, the sculptor. site in front Of
the Capitol was selected, and cap
tured Confederate cannon were turned
over to the association by the war de-
partment from which to cast the
bronze figures surmounting the pedes-
tal
But the association and its organic
ers seem to have vanished into thin
cir, work on the monument was never
even begun, and so far as can be
learned the money was never re-
turned.
From 1867 to 1882 the record of the
association is clear, but there is alb
solutely nothing to show what became
of 1t after that date The list of in
corporators submitted to Congress in
the former year with the application
for a charter included such prominent
men as James Harlan, Alexander
Ramsay CphuvIar CO1fay Eradarinl,
Douglass, Godlove S. Orth, Shelby M.

there he went to Lincoln and told him
how much cash there should be in the
postoffice.
"'Well, guess l have it, said Lin
coin, as he drew forth a bundle of
money.
''He counted it out and it tailed to
a cent to the amount the inspector had
found due the government. Lincoln
had kept the governments money sep
arate at all times. Although he car
ried it around with him, as the best
method of caring for it, he had never
allowed it to become mixed up with
his own money. That incident was
characteristic of Lincoln. He was scru-
pulously honest. Washington Star.

Cullom, Samuel Shellenbarger and
Richard Yates. Senator Cullom Of
Illinois, whose name appears as one
of the incorporators, said recently
that he didn't remember anything
about the association and couldn't say
why the project was not carried out
or what became Of the 100000 col
lected in one-dollar subscriptions from
all over the country
From the record it appears that on
June %, 1868, a little more than a
year after the association obtained its
charter, Congress passed a joint reso-
luton authorizing the Secretary of
War to place at the disposal of the
association damaged and captured
bronze and brass cannon and ordnance
out of which to cast the principal
figures surmounting the pedestal The
act provided that no such allotment
OF ordnance should be made, however,
until the voluntary subscriptions to
the monument fund should reach $780,
900.
While no record can be found TO
show just how much money was col
lected, It is probable in view OF the
above law that the amount was in ex-
cess of 100000, as the records of the
War department show that under the
act twelve brass cannon were issued
to the association.
The last Congress record of the as
ISOLATION is an act passed in 1882, pro-
vlding that five trustees should con-
stitute a legal quorum Of the asso-
citation; and 1t is believed that this
provision was enacted owing to the
dying out of interest in the project
and the difficulty that had been ex.
perlenced in securing attendance at
the necessary meetings.
Recently a number OF the engraved
subscription receipts of the association
have been found. They were executed
at the bureau Of engraving and bear
the signature Of Gen. F. E. Spinner,
treasurer of the association and at
that time treasurer Of the United
States as well. In view OF this fact
Il has been suggested that II the
books Of the treasury department were
carefully examined the 100000 or
more subscribed by the people and
placed in Gen. Spinner's care would
be found on deposit
The following description Of the
monument. as designed by Clark Mills
and accepted by the association, was
published at the time:

The president-elect came forward
upon the platform prepared at the
east front of the capitol, with his
natural awkwardness increased by the
momentous circumstances Of the oc'
casion, and by a gorgeous wardrobe
in which it was evident he felt ex.
ceedingly uncomfortable. The stiff
dress coat, vest and pantaloons of
black broadcloth were enough of
themselves to disturb his mental and
physical equanimity, but to these
were added other membranes in the
shape of brand new silk hat and a
ponderous gold-headed cane
The cane he managed to put away
in corner, but the disposition of the
hat perplexed him greatly. 1t was too
good to throw away, too fine, as he
thought, to rest upon the rough
boards, so, for minute at least,
poor Lincoln stood there in the gaze
of assembled thousands, grasping the
hat desperately and seeking in vain

OUTLOOK NOT so BAD
Estimated That 10000 Sheep
Will be Fed

The present estimate is that about
500. 600 head OF sheep and lambs Will
be fed in northern Colorado this
season. Orders are now in for 20
cars to be moved mex. week and the
receipts at the Denver stockyards
Saturday amounted to 10. OOo head.
This season lambs are selling on
the range at from IS to $3.50 per 100
pounds. That is an unusually high
price, so that the raiser will reap
big profit for his flocks. Sheep are
selling from $3.50 to S3, which is
also high for them.
Northern Colorado has become the
great sheep feeding section Of the
state and scores Of men have become
rich in this way in the last few
years. State Senator Drake has
amassed fortune near Fort Collins
feeding sheep, most of which has
been made in the last five years.
Several Greeley men have also made
big sums in that business.
Sheep feeding in this part OF the
state was largely increased with the
introduction Of beet sugar factories.
The tops Of the beets and the pulp
are fed and hay is also fed in large
quantities. Hay is worth s. a ton,
but the ranchmen argue that they
can make money feeding sheep on
hay Notwithstanding the price, and
that they are right many have de-
monstrated in the fortunes they have
amassed.
The only question worrying the
feeders is: Will the price continue
up? There is every reason to believe
that it will and that they will be
enabled to make 81 head and thus
break even, but II there should
come slump in prices the feeders
would lose heavily.
In the San Luis valley sheep are
fed on field peas and down there
feeders have grown surprisingly rich
in the business in the last few years.
1t is believed that in the San Luis
valley sheep will soon give way to
hogs, as it is realized that by feed
ing field peas to hogs more money
can be made than with sheep.
