FACIAL PARALYSIS
Nervous Distortion Of Face Cured BY
Or. Williams Pink Pills.

6fs vvtitdTuS THIN TbuSs
What appears to be a slight nervous
attack may be the forerunner of a severe
disorder. No v sufferer should
neglect the warning symptoms, but
should see hat the starved nerves are
nourished before the injury to the deli
cate organism has gone to ali extent that
renders a cure a difficult matter. The
nervesreceive heirnourishmen through
the blood, the same as every other part
of the body, and the best nerve tonic and
food is DR.. Williams Pink Pills. The
experience of Mr.. Harry Bemis, of
Truthville, Washington county, N. Y,
substantiates this.
81 had been feeling badly for a long
time" said Mr.. Bemis, "and in the
early part of September, 1902, Twas COM
PEELED to quit work on account of my i'll
health. My trouble was at first ex-
treme nervousness, then my sight be-
came affected and I consulted an oculist
who said Twas suffering from paralysis.
He treated me for some time, but I got
no benefit. I tried another doctor and
again failed to obtain any relief. My
increased. Slight noises
would almost make me wild. My mouth
was drawn so I could scarcely eat and
one eye was affected so I could hardly
see. I had very little use of my limbs,
In fact I was almost a complete wreck.
81 am all right now and am at work.
That is because I followed my wife's adj
vice and took DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
She had used the same remedy herself
with the most gratifying results and she
persuaded me to try them when it ap-
peared that the doctors were unable to
help me. They acted very surely in my
case; my face came back into shape and
in time I was entirely we'll"

II. as bank officials affirm, the bold
bank robbers who have made such a
whooping campaign this last year
take refuge in the brick-walled can
yons Of the larger cities Of the en-
trail west after their autumn activities,
this should be a winter of plenty OF
prosperous robbers in the Mississippi
v.lley, with a plethora of money. To
be sure a good deal of it under these
circumstances would be tainted chiefly
by powder and some of the currency
may be a little bent, but 1t will have
to be pretty badly shot up to be I'M
welcome.
Many a small banker would rest
easier if some means could be found
to more fully protect himself and
his patrons.

robbed, and then ride of into the
woods. The up-to-date bank robber
comes and goes under cover of night
and almost invariably relies upon the
railroads I o carry him far away from
the scene of his crime within a few
hours.
So it is that the muffled boom OF
the bank robbery is a nightly occur
renee somewhere in the middle west
at this season. The dweller in the
country town knows what it is when
1t brings him out of his peaceful slum-
bers in the dead of night.
There is no mistaking that sup

noise they heard is thunder.
Few Robbers Caught.
1t is a singular fact that few bank
robbers are caught. Now and then
a gang Of them will make a mess OF
it and bring the wrath of the citizen
soldiery down ON their heels, but the
average Of mortality in the business
is below that of street car riding and
automobiling. Bank robbers work in
quartettes, as did the adventures of
Dumas, and about the only difference
between their lives and those of the
famous Three Musketeers is that the
bank robbers adventures are invaria-
bly, more remunerative and always less
sentimental.
Sometimes everything goes to
smash, as it did with a gang at Will
lard, KY, on the night of October 20

Chicago.-A compilation of the bank
robberies which occurred throughout
the middle western states last fall
shows that the season was an excep-
tionally prosperous n for cracks
men. Many a little banking institu-
ton was plundered of its wealth by
the night-prowling profession.
For a time it was q daily occurrence
to learn that a bank robbery had
taken place In Missouri, Illinois, In
diana, Kansas, or some of the other
neighkoring states of the Mississippi
valley Very often as many as two
or three banks were robbed on the
same night at different towns, show
ing that several bands were pursuing
the nefarious work.
Partial List of Robberies.
Beginning with the first of October
and ending with the last day of the
old year, no less than 80 successful
bank robberies occurred in the states
of the middle west. Following are
some of the Jobs"
The bank of Willard, KY, was
robbed on the night Of October 9, and
pursuing citizens killed one robber
and captured four Others.
A series of bank robberies occurred
In Indiana between october "a and
November 3. The robbers got $4,400
from the bank at Sanborn, $4,000 from
the bank at Hagerstown, $4,000 from
the bank at Ridgeville, and wrecked
the vault at Windfall. An attempt
was also made to rob the bank at
Odon, but no money was secured.
Citizens of Duquoin, ILL.,. routed a
gang of safe blowers on the night of
November l..
Bank of Creighton, Creighton, Mo-,
was robbed of $4,000 night of Novem-
Der B., and the vault partially demol-
ished by nitroglycerine.
On night of November 8 robbers
tried to blow the bank at Washing
ton, Ind, and were frustrated in get
ting $4,000 by the bottom of the safe
blowing out before the doors opened.
In blowing a safe at Cherryvale,
Kan, on the night of November 20,
robbers started a fire which did $75,-
600 damage.
Bank of Pleasant Plains, ILL.,, shot
up by safe blowers on night of No
vember rs. They got $500. Another
gang got 1000 at jamestown, ILL.,, the

has been much agitation for the re-

out that it is the poor mans law.

the fact that the repeal of the timber

Department is Confronted With

ESTIMATES HAVECAUsEO CONSERVATION
MAINTENANCE FUND is GREAT
LY REDUCED AND NO PROS
PECT OF INCREASE.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 23.-
The navy department is in receipt of
the navy yard at Brooklyn for $4,000
tons of coal likely to be required dur
ing the next fiscal year. This estimate
is the first to be received for fuel
for the new central power plant, a con-
dition which requires that the coal
shall be purchased out of the fund
for the maintenance of navy yards and
stations The estimate has caused
something like CONSERVATION in the
navy department. for the reason that
it will be necessary to amend the es-
Inmates for coal, to say nothing OF
numerous other items intended for the
navy yards and stations next year,
after July l.
In the case of the coal for the New
York yard, the cost cannot be much
less than $111OOO and, possibly the
sum will be considerably more than
that In view of the refusal of con-
gress to appropriate for the urgent de-
ficiencies. including coal for the navy
yards. it is believed that it will be
necessary to send in to the house
naval committee new SET of esti-
mates. as it is already apparent that
the item of $S50,OOO recommended by
the navy department as sufficient to
maintain the navy yard at Brooklyn
and other places, will be altogether in
adequate and that fully $150,000
should be added to the total, and per-
haps the extra amount will be thrice
that much.
The situation would be considerably
aggravated should strike of the coal
miners be declared and the price of
coal raised to much higher figure.

Reason for Laws Repeal.

cit is essentially a poor mans law
and gives the northern pioneer a
chance to get on in the world. being
one small recompense to him for his
work in developing a new country.
Anyone who investigates the matter
will find that the law is being taken
advantage Of not by the dishonest, but
in fact by the best class of our peo-
pie. Farmers, mechanics, business
people of other worthy callings invest
their savings in land under this law,
and at once begin to pay taxes on
the land they buy.
!. ct is true that there has been fraud
under this law, but that is true of
every law I ever heard of. The fact
remains, however, that as the stone
and timber law is now administered,
fraud has been almost entirely elimi-
mated. Such fraud as may be found
is merely sporadic, not general. Fraud
arises not from bad laws, but from lax
or corrupt administration.
mo one has advanced as yet a
plausible reason why this beneficent
statute should be repealed. One idea
advanced is that the lands should be
reserved for homcsteads. But some OF
our land is of such a character that it
is not taken as hOmesteads. Our best
lands are now hOmeSteaded.
"Why segregate 100000 or more
acres of land to be added to the
gloomy, unprOductive wastes now held
by the state? Why not get these
lands on the tax rolls to aid in up
building the northern counties?
ut is true that spectators in scrip
would benefit by the repeal. Certainly
these spectators, who usually get
something for nothing from the gov
eminent are not its favOrites. At the
