IN A WOMAN'S HEAD
STRANGE SENSATIONS CAUSED
BY SHATTERED NERVES.
Mrs. Reagan's Long Search for Relief
From Distressing Experiences
CAUSED by OverworI at Last


succeeds.
Before I began to take DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills. said Mrs. Reagan,
recently, 'I was in and out of bed all
the time. but now I stay up all day
and work.
What was the cause of your trou-
BILE ?" she was asked.
''I was badly run down from over
work. One day noises began in my
head and almost made me crazy. My
head felt as if a tight band had been
put around 1t, and the pressure and
the sounds made me so uneasy that I
often had to walk the floor all night
when I ought to have been sleeping"
did you have a doctor?"
Eyes. was under the care Of a
physician for some time, but I finally
gave him up because his treatment did
me no good.
my stomach was in bad shape, and
had srnothering sensations. At such
hands were like chalk and my face
turned yellow. The doctor said had
dyspepsia in the worst form. Then my
nerves gave way and was completely
Frustrated. At night could not sleep,
and in the daytime if I bent over to
pick up a rug the smothering sensa-
ton would come on at once.''
"HOw did you find remedy ?.'
after I had used many advertised
medicines, we read in the paper about
DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie, and my husband bought box and
insisted that I should take them.
1.-THE first box I used quieted my
nerves SO that I could get a good
nights sleep, which was a new ex-
perience for me-, Before 1 began to
use them I was a nervous wreck and
trembled at the slightest sound. I
was SO weak that I had to sit down
and rest every few steps when I went
up stairs. Now can run up a whole
flight at once. The smothering sensa-
tons have gone and the noises in my
head have stopped entirely. Ny ap-
pearance has greatly improved. for
friends who were alarmed on my ac-
count before, now say How well you
are looking! My husband spent over
hundred dollars on treatment fer
me that was worthless, but a few
boxes of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
brought me sound health"
Mrs Mary Reagan lives at S6 Kill
burn street, Fall River, Mass, where
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are a favorite
remedy. These pills are guaranteed to
be free from stimulating or harmful
drugs of any description and may be
taken without fear of injury to the
most delicate system. They quickly
cure nervous disorders of every kind,
| check wasting diseases and build up

gists.

application for extradition papers by
the United States authorities were both
withdrawn.
Park was a tutor in the Higginson
household when the Jewels disappear
ed. After short search, the family
gave the police no more aid in tracing
the theft and the robbery became
somewhat of a mystery. Then came
the arrest of DR.. Park, who had sailed
for Europe soon after the theft was
committed. The police made this ar
rest on their own suspicious, but to-
day, after examining two pawnbrokers
who claimed that a man answering the
physicians description pawned some

A FORT SCOTT russ.
WaterworIxs Plant Control the Bane of
Mayors Existence.


Mayors Existence.
Fort Scott. Kan, July 21.-The water
works plant, which passed into the
hands of the city only last week, has
been the cause of the mayor, G. W.
Goodlander, and the city council get
ting into trouble.
The ordinance covering the purchase
OF the plant by the city provided tor a
commission OF three citizens, which
shall have full control of the manage
ment and operation of the plant. It al
so provides that the appointments shall
political affiliation of the employees. As
soon as the plant had passed into the
hands OF the city, Mayor Goodlander
appointed James Burton as superin-
tendent, displacing I. W. Wheeler, who
has been the superintendent for years.
Burton is the editor of a weekly pa
per and a strong supporter of the
mayor in the last campaign. Martin
Brown, the engineer, is also discharged.
He was a strong opponent of the mayor.
At the last meeting of the city council
an effort was made to prevent the may
or from making the appointments I'M
til the commission had been appointed,
but was unsuccessful. AS result the
Office of the water company is today IN
the hands Of three superintendent. Mr..
Wheeler, Mr.. Burton and Policeman
Coyan. Mr.. Wheeler has charge of the
safe and refuses to open it, while Mr..
Burton, in charge of the Office. collects
the money. The pumphouSe is also in
the hands of a policeman.
It is probable the matter will be ia
ken into the courts for settlement.

DeHaven set the case for today.
Judge Bennett, for the defense, was
much averse to going to trial so soon,
and pleaded for time in which to ''xet
ourselves together" but Judge De-
Haven said the case would be set for
today, when the work Of impanelinE a
jury would begin and by the time this
was done the witnesses would be or
hand.
On entering the court room Judge
DeHaven asked the jury If it had ar
rived at a verdict. Foreman HfniSle
said it had not, and that there ap-
peared no prospect that one would be
reached. Judge DeHaven asked if the
jurors understood that they could find
one defendant innocent, and the jurors
said they did.
w. C. Court addressed the court,
saying that the jury had balloted many
times, with the same result, that each
man had taken part in the discus
sion, and that it was evident that no
verdict could be reached. Judge De-
Haven then dismissed the jury from
further attendance on the court.
