HONEST CONFESSION.
4 Doctors Talk on Food.

There are no fairer set Of men on
earth than the doctors, and when they
find they have been in error they are
usually apt to make honest and manly
confession Of the fact.
; A case in point Is that of an emf
nent practitioner, one of the good ole
school, who lives in Texas. His plain
unvarnished tale needs no dressing up:
Il had always had an intense preju,

MUKDEN Is FIERCEST
NOTHING COMPARES WITH THAT
CONFLICT, SAYS WHEELER.
Civil War General Declares That Bat
ties of the Rebellion Were Small
Affairs Beside Recent
Carnage.

New Nork.-GCn. Wheeler has writ
ten for the New York American an in
teresting article comparing Oyama's
victory at Mukden with other great
battles He says:
The only wars which have taken
place in modern tines which at all ap-
IrOXimate the present Japanese-Rus-
sian war in magnitude OF armies and
losses sustained are the campaigns Of
Napoleon and the civil war OF 1851
1865.
In the war of the revolution the
largest army which the Americans put
into a battle was about 1900 men, and
the entire losses during war which
lasted seven years were less than 5000
men killed and wounded.
In the Mexican war the largest
force Gen. Taylor ever put into any
battle was less than 5000, and Gen.
SCOTS largest force in any battle was
less than $4,000. The entire loss of the
American army in all the battles OF
the Mexican war was about $500 killed
and wounded. In the war with Eng
land GSl2-1S1j) the entire loss of the
American army was but about 5000.
During the four years of the civil
war two and three-quarter million men
were enlisted in the federal army. OF
these about l00. 600 were killed outright
or died from wounds received in bat
tie, and the approximate loss of the
wounded has been stated at about
0,00O.
The loss of McClelan's army in

days June % to July / was but $500.
At Antietam. September 81. 1862, to

EVERY ONE ASKS HIM
HOW BE GOT RID OF HIS OBSTINATE
MUSCULAR RHEUMATISM.
Mr.. Jones Tells of the Way by which He
Treated Himself Successfully
When Doctors Failed.

Sixphysicians, all of them good, one CT
them n specialist, had done their best
for Mr.. Jones at different times during
three years, and still he suffered fear
fully from the tortures of rheumatism.
The rheumatism that had been DOR
mant in his system was suddenly
brought to an acute stage by exposure
while he was drawing ice in February,
1901. From that time on for a period
of more than three years he was a con-
slant sufferer. de tried many kinds of
treatment, but the rheumatism wouldn
budge. When regular doctors failed,
and one remedy after another proved
useless, many said: Il should think be
would give it up and save his money"
OF his condition at this time, Mr..
Jones says: "My rheumatism started
in my right thigh, but in time it APP
peared III every muscle of my body. I
lost the use of my left arm en-.
tirely and nearly lost the use of my
right one. My feet were badly affected.
especially the bottoms Of the heels.
When my right side was affected there
was swelling, but the left side didn't
swell when the disease settled there.
The internal organs didn't seem 20 be
involved at all The trouble was all in
the muscles and the nerves."
Among the few who still encouraged
Mr. Jones to think that a cure might
yet be found was friend who had rea-
son for great confidence in DR.. Will
Hams Pink Pills, and acting on her
advice he bought box of them in Sep
tember, 1904. The story of what fol-
lowed is brief. but nothing could be
more satisfactory.
when was on the third box" says
Mr.. Jones, ~ could realize change for
the better. I felt sure then that DR..
Williams Pink Pills were the right
medicine for my case. 1 kept on with
them for several weeks longer and now
l am entirely well, and everybody is
asking what l took"
Mr.. William Jones lives at Oxford,
Mich. DR.. Williams Pink Pills effect
wonderful cures in rheumatism, because
they work directly on the blood which is
the seat of the disease. They are sold
by every druggist.

THE TRIAL OF HOCH BEGINS
Notorious Bigamist Pleads Not Guilty
When Arraigned in Court
at Chicago.

Chicago. April 20.-Johann Hoch
self-confessed bigamist, was placed on
trial in the criminal court Wednesday
for the murder Of Mrs Marie Walcker
Hoch, one Of his wives. Mrs. Amelia
Fisher Hoch. the defendants last
wife and sister of Mrs Marie Walcker
Hoch, will be one of the principal wit
nesses for the state. Mrs Fisher Hoch
declares she saw Hoch give some
white powders to her sister Just before
the sisters death. The prosecution,
in order to make it possible for a wife
to testify against her husband, will
offer evidence that Mrs. Fisher Hoch
was not Hoch's legal wife at the time.
1t is expected that four or FIVE days
will be occupied in selecting a jury
and that the trial will take another
week. Hoch, it is said, has formulated
no definite plan of defense. hut will
rest on the belief that the state is un-
able to prove him guilty beyond a rea-
sOnable doubt as required by law.
Hoch was dressed in a new suit and
smiled pleasantly as he was led into
the court room. He protested to feel
confident that he will be acquitted on
the murder charge,
Hoch was arraigned under the new
indictment recently returned against
him. He pleaded not guilty. Attorney
Isadore Plotke for the defense asked
Judge Kersten to continue the case
until to-day on the ground that coun-
sci wanted time to examine the new
indictment. Judge Kersten acceded,
and court adjourned until to-day.

Nervousness in New York.

New York. December 4-There was con- siderable nervousness on the cotton ex- change this morning in anticipation of the governments report on the yield for the year. Prices fuctuated and early showed advances. As the hour approached when the government report was ex- pected, the exchange became thronged with visitors to witness the announce ment of the figures on the market. All the active brokers were gathered around the ring ready to shout their bids or offer as the case might be. When the mes sage from Washington postponing the re- port to later hour was read there was moment of silence followed by. roars of laughter.
 March eased off to Il. 54 or 22 points down from the high point of the morning Later most of the losses were recovered but the undertone of the market was very feverish. The first sale following the announcement of the governments fig ures was made at 25 points or 1sc a pound higher than the price just before the announcement.
 The market advanced rapidly after the report. March selling at F. 25 within q few minutes after the figures were known. This was an advance of 76 points or %c per pound since Saturdays close
 The market was fegersh and after the first advance there was a reaction of 10015 points.

Widest Day in History,

New Orleans December 4.-The day on the cotton exchange was easily the wild est in its history. The bureau of statis- tics of the department of agriculture made it's annual estimat ton of the crop issuing figures of 10,167 1SS bales of 800 pounds gross weight. This was extremely bullish, but it's effect was partly lost in the indignation felt and expressed by the trade generally. first over the count ing of the crop in 300 pound bales gross weight instead of net weight, as has al- ways been the case in previous esti- ma tes, and secondly, over the delay in is- suing the report which was scheduled to come out at II o'clock. New Orleans time, but which was not received until 1928 D. m.
 Immediately on the reading of the fig ures March, the most active position, shot up 142 points, slightly more than s7 a bale. This was an unprecedented advance Just before this March sold at 11.Ss the first sale following the estimate was at 13 cents and the next was at 13. 30. The ring was crowded twenty deep with brok- CTS who frantcally fought to fill their buying orders. The volume of trading was immense. The floor of the exchange was crowded with several hundred visitors from all parts of the south and their cheering, when they knew what the es- timate was, added to the roar from the ring. The gallery was filled with ladies.
 March Scars Skyward.
 The delay in issuing the estimate as well as the use of gross bales as measure hastened profit taking by longs and so great was their selling that within few minutes after March had touched 3.3O 1t was selling at 12.36 The next change of the day was an advance of 63 to 69 points on the active positions, March closing at 12.36 @ 12.37.
 Much figuring was done after the es- innate was made known and it was shown that if the estimate had been made in the same form as 1t was made last year that Is. in bales of 300 pounds net weight, the estimate today would have read s9, ,659.427 as a full per cent of the amount estimated today is baggng and ties and per cent of the figures returned is equivalent to 50S,391 bales But even expressed in gross bales the weight of which includes bagging and ties, today's estimate was considerably below the av- craze expectation.
