WAS NOT MURDER,

Tho evidence at the trial made It
clear that it was not a case of murder
that IS according to common sense mo-
tlons. But the law WAS equally en-
phatic that it was murder and the
Judge told the jury that they would
have 10 stand by the law. The jury
reluctantly bought in a verdict of gull

THE AWFUL INQUEST.

There followed, of course. a coroner s
inquest. The jury brought in ver-
dict OF suicide while temporarily insane.
Then the police arrested Mrs. Seddot
and charged her with the murder OF
the man who, according TO the coroner
fury. had committed suicide. Paradox
cal as it sounds, the law justified that
charge. For the law declares that II

HIS CURE COMPLETE
Mr.. PORTER NOW ENTIRELY FREE
FROM NEURALGIA.
Remedy Found in Or. Williams PINK
Pills.. Relief Began With First Box
and Pain Now Gone ALTOGETHER.

1t seems like a miracle that those
little pink pills should have cured my
neuralgia said Mr.. Porter They
are certainly a marvellous medicine
and shall always be glad TO recon-
mend them
For two years" he continued, Il
had suffered almost unbearable pains
in my head. They would start over my
eyes and shoot upward most frequent
ly. but they often spread over my face
and at times every part of my head
and face would be full of agony. Some.
times the pains were so intense that
actually feared they would drive me
mad"
Were you in pain all the time?"
MY eyes ached constantly and there
was always a burning sensation over
my forehead. but the other pains var.
led, sometimes they were acute. and
again they were dull and lingering"
WAS your health in general af-
ected?"
81 could not sleep, my temper was
irritable and | got no pleasure out

During those years of suffering. you
made efforts to conquer the disorder
didn't you?"

them, | became a despairing man

of a cure. l had used nearly every
thing else offered for neuralgia, and

THAT was in December of 1903. To
my surprise a change in my condition
took place right away. The pains
grew less intense and the acute at
lacks were further apart. as | kept on
using DR.. Williams Pink Pills. The
improvement began with the first box.

full people who have found that DR..
Williams Pink Pills cure diseases of
the nerves that have stubbOrnly resist
ed every other remedy tried. They do
not deaden pain. but they cure the
disease that causes the pain by puri-
flying and enriching the blood. Not
only neuralgia. but sciatica. partial
paralysis and lOcomotor ataXia yield
to them.
One of the best things about DR..
Williams Pink Pills is that they do
not contain the slightest trace of mar
cOtics. No harmful drug habit results
from using them. AS soDa as the cure
is complete they can be laid aside with
out discomfort. They improve the gen
eral health at the same time that they
cure the nerve-aches. they are sold

form the extraordinary progress which
has been made in railroad equipment
The news a few months ago that 1893
The wonderful engine which conferred
attention in the transportation build
ing at the Columbian fair in 1898. had
been reduced to the mental duty of
hauling a milk train, was distinct
shock. probably, to the many thous-
ands of newspaper readers who had
seen the type of passenger engine
change so gradually that they had no,
realized how il was transformed.
Last week an engine still more ia
nous in its day. "97 of the Alton.
was sent to the scrap heap. This en-
gines run to the Chicago fire in 1871
was noted for years as the first occas-
ion on which speed above mile a
minute was made on any considerable
stretch of track. When, on the second
day of the fire. Chicago appealed TO
neighbDring cities for help in fighting
it. the Bloomington fire department
was one of the first TO respond and
asked the railroad for an engine. a
fat car and a passenger coach With
this light load a run of 172 miles i'll
about three hours was made that as
tonished the railroad men of the time.
Last week an engine on its test run
reached a speed of IL miles an hour
drawing a 10-car train.
That attracts far less attention than
did the "97'' or the 1899 in their day,
but the fact the Erie performance
passes almost unnoticed only serves to
show the wonderful improvement in To-
comotive engines.

While on his way last Sunday To a
chu:ch some distance out of town,
Mayor Berg of Chester, Pa. saw sew
eral hundred boys and men gambling
on The outskirts of the city. He stop
ped his buggy team and gave the Sab
bath breakers some good advice. His
honor was a Methodist preacher at
one tine and his remarks soon took
the form of an earnest sermon. AT the
conclusion of his address several men
voluntarily promised that they would
gamble no more. After the mayor had
departed the assemblage quietly dis
persed.

where state Boards Are No. Ehec'

The state of Michigan has board
for the examination of BARRIERS. 1t was
provided for in a bill that was
passed in 1899 at the request of the
BARRIERS themselves. An epidemic of
BARRIERS itch appeared in the state cap
ital of Michigan that year and one sen
ator. who had acquired tremendous
dose of the malady. introduced a bill
with the understanding that this would
prevent any recurrence of the disease.
But. alas. this year il has broken out
with greater virulence than ever. The
legislators go round with their cuticles
daubed with iodine and exhibiting ev-
ery sign of the malady. Ii is funny
case. The board is in operation.
A barber in Michigan has To have a
certificate and ne is supposed 10 have
passed a rigid examination by the law.
he is TO be thoroughly posted on anti
septics, to know all about bacilli. mi
crobes. germs and communicable dis
eases. He has to understand SteriliZa-
ton and the use of formaldeyde. And
net. in spite of these legal precautions,
the very fount of legislative wisdom il
self is attacked and all the senators
and representatives in Lansing are
down with the itch.
1t is a sad, sad case and one that
may well trouble the brethren. II Is
a direct assault upon the rights of the
legislator. Ii is an illustration of the
fact that even a state board does not
give immunity from contagion, and that
it is impossible 10 eradicate even the
humble parasite that creates the itch
by the magic words, Therefore be it
enacted
