NAMES BEST DOCTOR
MR.. BAYSSON PUBLISHES RESULTS
OF VALUABLE EXPERIENCE.
A Former Pronounced Dyspeptic He Now
Rejoices in Perfect Freedom from
Miseries of Indigestion.


Thousands of sufferers know that tho
reason why they arc irritable and de-
pressed and nervous and sleepless is be
cause their food does not digest, but how
to get rid Of the difficulty is the pnzzling
question.
Good digestion calls for strong digcs
tive organs, and strength comes from a
supply of good rich blood. For this
reason Mr.. Baysson took DR., Williams
Pink Pills for the cure Of indigestion.

were almost unbearable. Ny sleep was
very irregular and my complexion was
sallow As the result of using eight
boxes of Dr. Williams Pink Pills, about
the merits Of which / learned from
friends III France, / have escaped all
these troubles, and am able again to take
pleasure in eating"
A very simple story, but if it had not
been for DR.. Williams Pink Pills it
might have been a tragic one. When dis
comfort begins with eating, fills up the
intervals between meals with pain, and
prevents sleep at night, there certainly
cannot be much pleasure in living. y
final general breaking down must be
merely question of time.
Mr.. Joseph Baysson is q native Of
Aix-les- Bains, France, but now resides
at No 2439 Larkin street, san Francisco,
Cal. He is one of great number who
can testify to the remarkable efficacy of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills in the treatment
of obstinate disorders of the stomach.

BUCKSHOT FOR
NUT HUNTERS
Farmer Fired at Boys Who Had
Climbed Into His
Tree.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. s.
There is considerable indignation
here over the deliberate shooting at
half a dozen boys Tuesday afternoon
by a farmer. The boys had gone
nutting after school, and while stroll
ling along the road saw some apples
over a fence. They were soon over
the fence filing their pockets. The
farmer drove them off and the boys
departed. Some distance further
down the road they discovered "a
chestnut tree and went over the
fence again. They did not realize
that the same farmer owned this
tree. They climbed the tree and
shook it. The farmer fired two
loads of buckshot at them, wound
ing four of the boys.
The most badly injured was Barn
well Valiant, son of the Rev. Mr..
Valiant, of the Pitman Methodist
Episcopal church. Twenty-Five shot
had pierced the skin.

arrived at in regard to the church
joining the evangelistic movement
which is on foot to form a church
union to hold services in this city in

en- up at the mid-week meeting of
the Presbyterian church last night
and no decision was made by that
congregation either. A meeting will
be held next week and the matter
given further attention. Although
the question of whether or not the
churches will join in the movement
is one which is harrassing the com
mittees who represent the different
churches. 1t is firmly believed by
those who are foremost in the pro
ject that the union will be brought
about.

TRIED TO STOP
THE EXPRESS.
An Amusing Scene at Washing.
ton Street Crossing OF Central
Railroad Yesterday.

People in the neighborhood of the
Central railroad crossing at Wash
ington street yesterday afternoon
were amused to see a well dressed
man wearing a high silk hat and
carrying a small tan hand-satchel
sitting contentedly upon the steps OF
the signal tower.
When the Lakewood express came
laundering around the curve the
man calmly stepped down from his
perch and took a position in the
middle of the track. He held the
satchel up in n hand and waved
his ticket at the rapidly approaching
train. with the other as a signal for
the train to stop. But it didn't and
the would-be passenger got off the
track just in time to avoid another
accident.
In broken English the man ex-
planned that he thought the switch
tower was the station. After being
directed toward the proper point at
which the trains stop, he hurried
down the track in the wake of the
diminishing express.
