IT IS IN THE BLOOD.
Neither Liniments nor 0intments
Will Reach Reconsideration
Nj. Stephenson Was Cured.

People with infamed and aching
joints. or painful muscles; people who
shuttle about with the aid of a cane or q
crutch and cry, Oh at every slight jar,
are constantly asking, what is the best
thing for rheumatism 20
To attempt to cure rheumatism by ex.
ternal applications is a foolish waste of
time. The seat Of the disease is in the
blood and while the sufferer is rubbing
lotions and grease OIL the skin the poison
IN the circulation is increasing.
Delaysin adopting q sensible treatment
are dangerous because rheumatism may
at any momentreach the heart and prove
fatal. The only safe course for rheumatic
sufferers is to get the best possible blood
remedy at once.
Mr.. Stephenson s experience with this
obstinate and distressing affection is
that of hundreds. He says:
'About a year ago was attacked by
severe rheumatic pains in my left
shoulder. The pains were worse in wet
weather, and at these periods caused me
the greatest suffering. tried number
OF treatments and ointments, but they
failed to alleviate the pains"
Then he realized that the cause must
be deeper and the pain only a surface in
dication. He adds:
81 had heard DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People recommended as cure
for rheumatism, and when found that
Twas getting no relief from applications,
1 made up my mind that I would try
them. Before the first box was gone I
noticed that the pains were becoming
less frequent, and that they were not SO
severe as before. After the second box
had been used up was entirely free
from discomfort, and have had no traces
Of rheumatism SINCE"
The change in treatment proved BY
almost immediate results that Mr..
Thomas Stephenson, who lives at No.115
Greenwood street, Springfield, Mass,
had found the true means for the purifi-
cation and enrichment of his blood.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are without
doubt the best of all blood remedies.
They effect genuine and lasting cures in
rheumatism. They do not lno-cly deaden
the ache, but they expel the poison from
the blood. These pills are sold by Ill
druggists.

There have been many attempts to
grow Egyptian cotton in India, but
they have generally failed. Sometimes
the soil was unsuitable, but more often
the failure was due to the fact that
little effort was made to initiate
Egyptian methods for growing the

ton was sown too late.

IhE CARS VOICE
IS Still FOR war
NO THOUGHT OF SUING FOR
PEACE Is ENTERTAINED By
RUSSIAN RULER.
He Believes That Ultimate Victory for
His Forces Is Certain, and the War
VIII Be Pressed with the Utmost
Energy.

VI
STA has elected to continue the war. His
position is absolutely firm, and the Ger
man court has been advised in that
sense. The war will be pressed with the
utmost energy, the domestic situation
being now within the control of the au-
thorities. Those who have advised
peace and suggested inquiries for Jap
ans terms, the French and British gov
ernments, are for the present silent and
are likely to remain so unless events of
an extraordinary character shake the
Russian emperor's resolution.
Can't Defeat Kuropatkin.
The considerations that led to the en-
peror's decision as understood here are:
First.-The judgment Of the chiefs Of
the army that Field Marshal Oyama not
only cannot defeat Gen. Kuropatkin but
stands in danger Of defeat himself. How
cowardly, therefore, for Russia to ask
for mercy with all the men and money
essential to successful war. s.
Second.-All the forces of criticism
now directed against the government for
having fought rather than yield to legit-
innate interests and for having failed to
win victories would be continued with
added fury against the government that
accepted war and then betrayed the coun-
try. A government that would crave
peace of Russia's enemy while still ca
pable of winning victory would be CIV
ing the party of change genuine grounds
for revolution.
The facts of the military situation,
love of country and arguments of ex-A
pediency were all against peace and for
pressing the war hopefully.

injunction issued by United States Judge
Peter S. Grosscup was started Tuesday
when a special federal grand jury was
ordered and subpoenas were issued sum-
moning witnesses to appear against the

gun Of a battle which is generally be-
lieved will be death struggle between
law and the mighty monopoly which
controls vast portion Of the peoples

The injunction of Judge Grosscup re-
strained the packers from refraining
from bidding against one another in
purchasing cattle, from compelling their
agents to stop bidding, from limiting
supplies to agents or localities, from I'M
scrupulously lowering, fixing or raising
prices, and from dividing territory or
enforcing uniform rules as to credits,
charges, etc.
The men for whom subpoenas were is
sued include: j. Ogden Armour, Nelson
