Sciatica Cured After Twenty Years of Tertur

For more than twenty years Mr. J..
B. Massey. of 1922 Clinton St.. Min
neapolis. Mimi, was tortured by
which he endured during this time is
beyond comprehension. Nothing gave
him any permanent relief until he
used Chamberlain's Pain Balm. One
application of that liniment relieved
the pain and made sleep and rest pos
sible, and less than one bottle has
effected a permanent cure. If troubled
with sciatica or rheumatism why not
try 25-cent bottle of Pain Balm and
see for yourself how quickly it re-
lieves the pain. For sale by Engbret-
sons Pharmacy.

The Republican on one or two occa-
sions has asked if it is not true that
when a candidate for senator, Cum
Minis arranged conference of the
general solicitors of several of the
railways with Marvin Hughitt, with
view OF having the latter line up the
Northwestern for Cummins. This is
an easy question to answer. The Re-
publican now says that such q con-
ference was held, at the instance of
A. b. Cummins and that one of the
compensations that was to go to the
Northwestern was the influence of
Cummins to secure the big mail con-
tracts then held by the Burlington
road Iowa City Republican.

An odd and interesting incident
happened in District Court Monday
afternoon shortly after the term was
opened by Judge Hobson. The will of
the late Jeremiah Desmond, of Paint
Greek township was up for proof.
Judge Fellows, of Lansing, was the
witness, and it appeared from his tes-

the will thirty years ago. The other
witness was Dick Haney, who is now
