0NE ASKS HIM
HOW HE GOT RID OF HIS OBSTINATE
 MUSCULAR RHEUMATISM.
Mir. Jones Tells of the Way by Which He Treated Himself Successfully
 When Doctors Failed.

Six physicians, all of them good, one of them specialist, had done their best for MT. 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 period of more than three years he was con- stant sufferer. He tried many kinds of treatment, but the rheumatism wouldn t budge. When regular doctors failed. and one remedy after another proved useless, many said: "I should think he would give it up and save his money. 1"
 Of his condition at this time, Mir. Jones says: "My rheumatism started in my right thigh, but in time it ap- peared ill 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 to be involved at all. The trouble was all in the muscles and the nerves"
 Among the few who still encouraged MT. Jones to think that cure might yet be found was friend who had req son for great confidence ill Dr. Will hams' Pink Pills, and acting on her advice he bought box of them ill Sep tember, 1901. The story of what fol lowed is brief, but nothing could be more satisfactory.
 "When 1 was on the third box" says Mir. Jones, "I could realize change for the better. I felt sure then that Dr. Williams Pink Pills were the right medicine for my case. I kept on with them for several weeks longer and now l am entirely well. and everybody is asking what I took ''
 MT. 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.

While no woman is entirely free from periodical suffering. 1t does not seem to be the plan of nature that women should suffer so severely. Menstrua- tion IS severe strain on woman s vitality.

 More than fifty thousand women have testified in grateful letters to Mrs Pinkham that Lydia F. Pinkham's s Vegetable Compound overcomes pain full and irregular menstruation.
 It provides a safe and sure way of es- cape from distressing and dangerous weaknesses and diseases.
 The two following letters tell SO con vincingly what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will do for women, they cannot fail to bring hope to thousands of sufferers.
 Miss Nellie Holmes of 54O N. Davi. sion Street, Buffalo. N. Y., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham-

senate and house of the general assembly
was finished at about 2:30 am
The nomination was made on the thirty
seventh ballot. when Mr.. Brandegee re-

qured for a choice
Great cheering greeted the announcement
of the vote. which was Immediately made
unanimous. and. in view of the small demo-
cratic minority, is equivalent to an election.
Discussing his selection, Mr.. Brandegee to-
day said he regarded it as sustaining the
contention that locality should have some

HYDRAULIC ELEVATORS.
Two to Be Installed in State, War and
NAVY Building

Rear Admiral Baird superintendent of the
State, War and Navy departments build
ing, opened bids yesterday afternoon for
pair of light high-speed hydraulic elevators
to be installed in the north wing of the
building near the Pennsylvania avenue en-
trance. There were three bids, as follows:
Kieckhefer Elevator Company of Mil
waukee, S14,200; Otis Elevator Company of
Washington. D. c., s15,7SO; Eaton & Prince
Co. of Chicago s16,50O Congress appropri-
ated S1SC00 for these two elevators.
The new elevators are designed to replace
the big hydraulic elevator installed by the
Otis Company in 1850. which has practically
outlived its usefulness. 1t is large and
heavy and requires considerable steam
power to operate. 1t is almost constantly
out of condition and frequently shuts down
Tor repairs. Owing to its prominent posi-
ton, however, it is called upon to carry two
or three times as many passengers as any
other elevator in the building and when
closed causes general inconvenience.
1t is expected that the two high-speed ele-
vators which are TO take its place will rem
der much more satisfactory service. Run
by improved machinery and requiring less
steam power. the change will make a de-
clded saving in the matter of time and eX-
pense During the busy hours both eeva-
tors Will be in operation, but during the
slack hours it is believed that one elevator
will be sufficient.

GERMAN TRADE TREATY.
Preliminary Proposals Expected Late in
the Summer.

BERLIN, May 5--The foreign office officials
hope that plenipotentiaries representing
the United States and Germany will meet
early in the autumn to negotiate a COM
mercial treaty, and that the exchange of
preliminary proposals will take place
some time late in the summer. Material
for Germany's suggestions will be gath
cred by July /, and after that will be
worked into shape. The interior depart
ment will have an important part in
formulating Germany's suggestions
Although Germany's communication of
March Il was altogether definite state
ment that the tariff agreement with the
United States of July 10, 1900 would
terminate by March L. 1906, yet it is not
called a denunciation which is not neces-
sary before December 1, 1905, or after
three months notice.
