A rumpus occurred this after
noon at the Elm saloon on River
side av. that resulted in the arrest
Of John anderson, the barkeeper,
on a charge Of disorderly conduct,
and Carl Serin for carrying con
cealed weapons. Patrolman Hage
took charge of the place until the
trouble was Strengthened out at
headquarters. Serin, It seems,

loungers about the place took it
from him and gave it to the bar
keeper, The police were notified
and on their arrival anderson
wouldn't explain things. He was
asked to go to headquarters. On
his refusal, Patrolmen Thompson
and Scott took him by force.

WHAT It COST

The city ought to get something
out of the present turmoil over
the new waterworks, for 1t cost
$500 and then some to get Expert
Engineer Tanning out here to start
it. Here is the bill itemized:
Is days at $50 per day, $500;
railway fare, $104; dining car,
$3.50; room and meals for the 13
days, $40.05: total, sS01.S5.
Fifty dollars a day and all ex'
penses is not so bad. The expert
engineering business seems to pay
pretty well.

II years for the return of his wife,
who left him saying that she was

ANEMIA CAN BE CURED
DR.. Williams Pink Pills Make New
Blood and Strike Straight at the
Root Of Disease.

Armenia is just the Doctors name for
bloOdlessness. DIR. Williams Pink Pills
actually make new blood. They II
alramia just as food cures hunger. They
cured Mrs. Thos. J. McGann, of II
Lincoln Place, Plainfield, Nj, and they
cam do as much for any either pale, weak,
ailing, bloodless person.
"Ln the spring of 1908 i did nay usual
house cleaning" says Mrs. McGann,
and soon afterward began to have the
most terrible headaches. My heart
would beat 80 irregularly that 1t was
painful and there came a morning when
! could not get up. My doctor said I had
anamia and he was surprised that I had
continued to live in the condition I was
in. I was eonfined to my bed for nearly
two months, the doctor coming every
day for the first few weeks, but I did
not improve to amount to anything.
Altogether I was sick for nearly two
years. / was as weak as a rag, had
headaches. irregular heart beats, loss Of
appetite, cramps i'll the limbs and was
unable to get a good nights sleep. My
legs and feet were 8 % swollen that I
feared they w0nld burst.
Zone day, while l was wondering how
long | could live, feeling as l did, j re-
ceived a booklet telling about DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I
read it and told my husband TO get me
some of the pills. Before the first box
was gone / felt a change for the better.
i have taken about twelve boxes and al
though l was as near the grave as ] could
be, 1 now feel as il / had a new lease Of
life. / have no more headache, the heart
beats regularly, my cheeks are pink and
/ feel ten years younger. / feel that I
have been cured very cheaply and / have
recommended DIR. Williams Pink Pills
to lots of my friends"
