were as many as rs lives lost In the

similar discrepancies which will be

THEY CURE RHEUMATISM
A Particularly Painful Form Of This
Disease Yields to Dr.. Williams
Pink Pills.

Of the many forms which rheumatism
takes, that which is popularity known as
sciatic rheumatism probably tortures its
victim more than any other. That DIR.
Williams Pink Pills have cured this
stubborn as well as painful trouble is
fact proven by the following statement,
and no sufferer who reads this can af-
ford to let prejudice stand i'll the way of
trying these blood-lnaking pills.
Rheumatism is now generally re-
cognized as a disease of the blood. DR..
Williams Pink Pills fundamentally
make-pure blood. When the blood is
pure there can be no rheumatism. Mrs.
Thomas Bresnehan, Of "a Mill street,
Watertown, N. Y, says:
My trouble began with severe cold
which I took about week before
Christmas in 1904. I began to have
rheumatic pains in my back and limbs
and after time I couldn't straighten
up I suffered the most awful pain for
months and much Of the time was un-
able to leave the house and I had to take
hold of a chair in order to walk and
sometimes could not stand up at>all.
The disease was pronounced sciatic
rheumatism and, although I had a good
physician and took his medicine faith
fully, did not get any better. After
some six weeks of this terrible pain and
| suffering I tried DIR. Williams Pink
Pills and that is the medicine that cured
me. After few boxes the pain was
less intense and could see decided i'm.

never had any return of the trouble.
All druggists sell DIR. Williams Pink

CARE OF BABY's EYES.
important Precautions Advised by
Medical Authority.

Don't let your infants look at bright
colored objects. Never allow them to
lie and stare into the sunlight, at the
gas, electric light or into the flame of
a lamp, for it may strain the nerve of
sight and make the eyes weak for the
remainder of their lives, declares a
physician of babies hospital.
Unfortunately most young children
are s,bnormally attracted by any
bright object such as red feather on
a hat, a vivid green or yellow chair, or
by artificial light or sunlight" he says,
land they will exert all their strength
to turn their bodies so that the bright
thing Is within the range of vision.
Knowing this, mothers should make
every effort to protect the eyes of
babes and make sure that the rooms
where they sleep or stay when awake
have no objects that will attract and
hold the interest of the little one and
perhaps injure the optic nerves.
Always have the sunlight tempered.
Put a shade over any kind of artifi-
cial light so that it will not shine di-
rectly into young child's eyes
When taking an infant out of doors
always protect it's eyes from the glare
of the sun by a parasol or a broad
brim on a hat, but do not put veil
over it's face with the mistaken idea
that this will keep out the dust and
incidently the brightness of the sun or
the dazzling whiteness of the snow"

singularly out of keeping with rough

long gloves worn daily are a consider

For house gowns and all elaborate

A Rule and an Exception.

According to the New York Trib-
uKe, country paper lays down this
rule of etiquette: when lady and
gentleman are walking in the street,
the lady should walk inside of the
gentleman"
It seems a little strange that this
simple rule, SO long current among
the cannibal tribes of the Andaman
and other islands, should find it's way
into rural journal of more or less
civilization. It would appear that the
etiquette editor of the paper in ques-
ton was either too careless or too
hurried to note any exceptions to the
rule. Otherwise he would have ex-
planned that when the gentleman was
thirsty and desired to enter a cafe,
the lady would walk on the outside

DEAD IN A LODGING HOUSE..

THAT GIVE SHARPNESS

Waist to Match Coat and Skirt Now

A white waist is generally consid-
cred correct with a cloth suit Just as
long as the weather permits of 50 thin
bodice, but at the same time
silk or cloth waist of the color Of the
skirt is bound to look somewhat
smarter, and, besides, far more eco
nomical in the long run. In purchas-
ing the material for a cloth suit, it
is an easy matter to get an extra two
or three yards for the waist, even if
it is not to be made up by the tailor,
while if the suit is ordered directly
from the tailor he can always match
his material and procure an extra al
lowance for the bodice.
The one-piece dress is still popular,
but in cloth princess gown is too
hot to be worn, day in, day out, so
that unless there can be more than
one walking suit provided, separate
waist and skirt is the better invest
ment.
Then, too walking suit is always
short and princess gown is gen
orally more graceful with a long
train, save, of course, made up in
some fine material as lace or muslin.
Simple models are best in CLOTH
for there must be as few folds and
plaits of the material as possible.
The surplice effect, if made to fit
perfectly, is good, as the cloth simply
crosses over front and back, leaving
little V-shaped opening for the

MISSISSIPPI HAS RACE RIOT.
Two Men Fatally Wounded in Fight
in Town of Virgins.

Two men were fatally wounded and
over 500 shots were fired in race
riot at Virgins. William Smith, ne
gro, in resisting arrest, fired on
Marshal Quarrels and Deputy Mitche,
the latter receiving a fatal wound.
Smith escaped to his home, barricad-
ed the doors and windows and defied
capture until a mob threatened to
burn the house. After surrendering
he was locked in the village Jail where
later on a mob dynamited the struc-
ture, fired several volleys into Smith S
cell and left him for dead.
While the mob was storming the
Jail, large crowd of negroes came
on the scene and began firing into
the ranks of the besiegers. More than
500 shots were exchanged and D. NJ
Clarke, white man, was fatally in
jured. Several negroes are supposed
to have been shot, but SO far the total
number of casualties has not been
learned. Smith was later found alive
in the jail, but his arms had to be
amputated.

will be obliged to pay inheritance tax
on 81 100000 stock in the Pabst Brew
ing company, transferred to the heirs
of Capt. Fred Pabst a short time be-
fore his death. 1t was held by the
state that the transfer of stock was
made by Captain Pabst in contempla-

able. Judge Carpenter upholds this
contention, qualifying his decision,
however. by saying that this does not
necessarily mean that the transfer
was made with the intention of evad.

Washing Laces.

To wash laces make suds with
naphtha soap and tepid water, put the
laces In it and let them soak for half
an hour; then souse them around and
squeeze between the hands to get the
water out. Make fresh suds souse
laces around again, but do not rub
lest you break the meshes; squeeze,
then rinse in two waters, with a few
drops of dissolved gum arabic in the
last water. If the lace is cream or
ecru add few drops Of orange dye
to the last water, or, If pure white,
few drops of bluing. Spread on a
sheet to dry; when nearly dry pull
gently into shape and roll from one
end, keeping edges even; then wrap
in damp cloth and let lie for half an
hour and press with not too hot
iron.

BANK ROBBED IN DAYLIGHT.

Loot at Pleasure.

The Farmers and Miners bank at
Laid, H., a mining town, was held
up and robbed. The assistant cashier,
j. j. Hurley, was alone in the bank
when two men entered and covering
him with their revolvers ordered him
to throw up his hands. The robbers
then marched him to a back room
where they bound him. They then
helped themselves to the cash and
escaped. The amount of their booty
will be about 1000.
One of the two masked robbers,
guarded the street door while the
other got the cash. Some reports say
that the amount stolen is $4,000. 1t
was mostly in currency. The robbers
were gone an hour before the robbery
was discovered and the imprisoned
bank officer released.

great writer's together and Bjornson's
daughter married Ibsen's only child.

To Make Dull Piano BRIGHT,

Alcohol is used by workers in fac.
tories to remove the dull appearance
from highly polished surfaces Of
pianos, but the putting on of this
liquid must be carefully done, or the
finish will be burned, and the case
have to be dressed and polished the
same as it was when new. This
process is costly, SO If alcohol is
rubbed on the dull spots with a soft
cotton or flannel cloth only little
of the liquid should be used. Put on
with a light stroke across the sur.
face, then should follow a brisk rub
with a soft silk or cheesecloth rag.

Tour and Railroad Companies:
Uncle Sam Now Appears the Attitude OF CRATER

began to make journeys during their
terms of Office until now he would have
been the poorer by a very consider
able sum.
In the early days of the republic
such a thing as a presidential tour was
never mentioned. Those were indeed
the days of republican simplicity. So
extreme was the sentiment that it was
a long time before the liberty loving
patriots of the new American state
could make up their minds to provide
their executives with a proper habita-
ton The greatest caution was neces-
sary on the part of early legislators to
avoid conflict with love of simplicity
that often resembled parsimony. Every
suggestion looking toward the presi-
dents comfort or even convenience was
the signal for popular outcry. The
memories of Imperialism and its at
tendant evils were too recent. Having
shaken off the monster it seemed to
be part of eternal vigilance" to curb
all tendency toward personal expansion
at the seat of government.
The presidential tour was begun dur
ing the administration of Andrew John
son. Previous to that the presidents
had remained in Washington during
their terms, only now and then making
a short journey in the capacity OF pri-
vate citizens. SO novel was the idea
of a presidential tour that when Mr.
Johnson made public his plans for
what was afterward called his "swing
around the circle" the entire country
was more or less agitated and discus
sion followed on every side. On the
whole. it may be said that the Ameri-
can public did not take kindly to the
idea at that early day of the practice.
The opposition which Mr.. johnson
encountered in the violation of the
proprieties. as they were understood in
his day, was sufficient to discourage
his immediate successors from follow
ing his example, even though they had
been Inclined to travel General Grant
made no trips about the country. Mr..
Hayes went on a visit to his Ohio
