TWITCHING NERVES
4 Serious Hereditary Trouble Cured
BY Or. Williams Pink Pills.

Sufferers from ailments that have af-
fiicted i'll regular succession one genera
ton after another of their family are, as
a rule, inclined to submit to them as in
evitable. The case which follows proves
that such hereditary difficulties are not
beyond the reach of curative forces and
should inspire hopefulness and readi-
ness to try remedies that have effected
signal cures, such as that which is here
given.
Mrs. Elizabeth Rannells, of No. 4OS
East Seventh street, Newton. Kansas,
gives the following account of her all
ment aud her cure:
"Fortwo years suffered from trying
nervousness IN my lower limbs from my
knees down, as my mother and my
grandmother had suffered before me.
The situation was for many years &C
cepted as unavoidable because heredi-
tary. But about two years ago, when my
son was realizing benefit from the use of
DIR. Williams Pink Pills, thought there
might possibly be some good i'll them for
me. Ny trouble had then become SO
serious as to make it difficult for me to
sleep. ] often had to walk the floor i'll
restlessness the whole night. After tax
ing some six boxes the twitching disap-
peared and ceased to use the remedy.

so and used the pills again for a short
time Relief came at once and since /
stopped using them the second time

twitchings or from any interference with

the worst cases of bloodlessness, indiges-

cage was full of hair and language that
would be much like cussing if it could
be translated into English. Pa tried to
quiet the crowd and silence the hyeIks
by taking an iron bar and mauling them,
but the hyenas just backed up against
the rear of the cage and howled and
sneezed at pa, and dared him to come on.
One of them caught him by the shirt
sleeve and tore pas shirt off and eat it
Pa was sight, with no shirt on, and he
ought to have gone to the dressing room
and slicked, but just then the camels
and the giraffes, who had inhaled their
snuff, began to sneeze and beg to be
killed, and pa had to go over there and
quiet them. A camel is the solemnest
looking beast on earth when he tries to
be good natured, but when he is sick and
mad, and full of snuff, he is fiend. One
such camel is enough for a man to
handle, but when IA camels are all
sneezing at once, and trying to locate the

HINTS TO ACCOUNTANT.

Add 1t just once more.
1t pays to take a balance of ball
ances.
Better think about it at the time;
some think about it at the end of the
month.
Look for the exact amount Of your
erro-; you possibly overlooked it in
posting.
Have you any systematic way of
checking Check as you post; it's
easier and quicker.
Divide it by two and look for a
debit on the credit side, or for a
credit on the debit side.
If you make an error, carefully rule
a line through it with red ink; then
write the correction above it.
Remember that the books are firm
property, and you are at liberty to re-
veal no secrets they may contain.
Be sure to put the books in the
vault each night; you will never real
lie the value of this precaution until
you've haG fire.
Study the needs of the business;
plan special rulings to facilitate the
handling of the business. Do not
make radical changes at time.
Don't be in hurry to suggest new
methods to the senior member Of the
firm. He is likely to think he knows
more ABOUT his business than you do.
How about your writing? And your
Engl;sh2 And your spelling? Or do
you know nothing but bookkeeping?
If you do not, you'll never be the
manager. you'll always be the book
keeper.
If it's exactly divisible by nine, look
out for transposition, such as 1881.
27-72, 1858, etc. The number of
times nine is contained in the error
will be the difference between the
tranapos6d digits. Illustration Say
As is the error; it contains nine just
five times; hence the transposed digits
must have been 16 as 81, 81 as y, 50
as SO, 40 as "a. etc.

John StrombIad, Expert Line
man Of the North Western,
Has q Narrow Escape
UNCONSCIOUS MANY HOURS
He Had Attempted to Jump From a
Freight Train When He vas
Thrown OH His Head Near
the Allen Swith

| John Stromb1ad, Of Racine, former
| Kenosha man and an expert lineman
lin the employ of the Chicago &
North Western Railway company,
had a narrow escape from death Sun
day afternoon when he was thrown
from freight train near the Allen
switch just north of the city, and sus-
tained injuries which will lay him mp
for many weeks.
| Stromblad is in charge of all the
Hall signals Of the North-W Western
between Kenosha and Milwaukee,
and Sunday being his day off he had
brought his wife to Kenosha for a
visit with his brother-in-law who re-
sides on Garden street. After dinner
the two men had started out for a
walk, and as they were passing the
North Western station freight train
came along, and Stromblad jumped
on. His friend followed suit, and
Stromblad suggested that they ride
up to Racine and come back on the
next passenger train.
The two men climbed up q box car
and after they had gone nearly mile
from the station they decided not to
make the trip to Racine. Stromblad's
relative alighted from the train with
out accident but as Stromblad was
climbing down from the top of the car
head striking the switch. The train
was moving at rapid rate of speed
when Stromblad was thrown and it
was thought that he had been killed
AS soon as possible an ambulance was
called and the injured man was re-
moved to the home of his relatives at
534 Garden street. DR.. Van Westrein-
en- and DR.. Wickstrom were called TO.
attend him. Strofn blad failed to re-.
gain consciousness and about SIX
O'Clock he was removed to the Keno
sha hospital. He remained un-
conscious until late in the night and
all efforts to restore him proved futile.
This morning Stromblad seemed
rational enough but he was suffering
from a terrific pain in his head and
the physicians fear that his brain has
been injured by the fall. It was
thought at first that his skull had
been fractured, but later investiga-
ton showed that this was not the
fact. Stromblad is a great favorite
with the railway men and large num-
bers of his fellow employees crowded
about the hospital last night anxious
to learn of his condition.
1t is thought that Stromblad will be
laid up for many weeks. The injured
man is p years OF age and has a wife.

Nj L RIDER IN ASYLU Ii
A. Rierson Beats John Ladrach
to Death With Heel OF His
Shoe at Racine Asylum
GL0RLES OVER BRUTAL CRIME.

With the heel Of his heavy shoe,
Albert Rierson, % years old, patient
at the Racine county insane asylum,
beat out the life of John Ladrach,
aged 90 years, another patient, be-
tween and o'clock Sunday morn
ing. The murder was discovered by
Nielsen Passin1au, night watchman.
Rierson, covered with blood was ac-
cused of the crime, admitted it, gave
no excuse, and remarked that he was
damned glad of it, He was i'm
mediately placed in restraint and the
coroner took charge of the case and
will hold an inquest tomorrow.
Rierson was born in Racine and
comes from a good family. He
graduated from Racine high school,
was student at the University of
Wisconsin,, and studied for the law.
Overwork unbalanced his mind and
on a number Of occasions he threat
ened to kill his mother. Eight years
ago he was examined and pronounced
insane and has been in the asylum
since. For long time he has been
in the passive ward with nine other
patients, among them Ladrach, an
old man.
There has been no trouble between
the two so far as known. The mig ht
Waterman was around at 3 O'Clock
and everything was ali right. When
he came around an hour later he dis
covered that Rierson had gone to the
cot of Ladrach, who was apparently
asleep, and literally pounded his face
and head until he was, dead. None of
the other patients appear to have
seen or heard anything and if they
did, failed to realise what was going
on. The dead man was sent to the
asylum from Racine in 1891 His
relatives live in Racine.
