ST. VITUS DANCE
CHILD OF TEN CURED BY DR..
WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
Mrs. Ream's Daughter Began to Gain
Flesh at Once and Is Now
Well and Happy.

Children are doubtless punished
many times at school for not keeping
still or dropping things when the
trouble is really cholera, or st. Nitas
dance, as it is popularity called. So
common is this nervous disease in
childhood that in some schools one
fifth of all the pupils have been found
suffering from it in one form or an
other.
Before the presence Of the disease is
betrayed there is usually disturbance
Of the general health. The child shows
Hstlessness and inattention. Then it
becomes restless and twitching of the
muscles and jerking of the limbs and
body follow.
Often the patient loses flesh and be-
comes pale and bloodless. A remedy
that cures ST. Vitus' dance, and cures
is so thoroughly that no trace of the
disease remains, is DR.. Williams Pink
Pills.
A recent cure is that of Georgia, the
ten-year-old daughter of Mrs. D. Mr.
Ream Of Conemaugh, Pa. Mr.. Ream
says:
when Georgia started to school last
year she had stomach trouble and at
terward her mouth began to twitch.
She would shake all over and could not
be still. After a few months her mind
became affected.
"She was under the care of two
doctors for almost four months. When
she had been sick for about seven
months we heard of a case like Geor-
gia's that had been cured by Dr. Will
Jams Pink Pills. 1t was in the latter
part of February that she commemorate
take the pills and they made the great
est change in her. They not only cur
ed every trace of the ST. Vitus' dance
but helped her in every way. She never
was very stout until after she took the
pills, but now she has gained in
weight. She goes to school every day,
and is well and happy. DR.. Williams
Pink Pills are worth their weight in
gold"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills build up the
blood to carry health and strength to
every part Of the body. They have
cured the worst cases of bloodlessness,
Indigestion, Influenza, headaches. lum-
bago, sciatica, neuralgia, nervousness,

Rockwell City, Jan. 19.--It is gener-
ally believed that Mrs. Jennie Pratt,
whose trial ended late Thursday after
noon in Il disagreement of the jury
will not be again tried for murder. The
fact that the state made the best case
it possibly could and that the jury
stood ten for acquittal to two for con-
vlction leads many to believe it would
be impossible to convict her. and it is
hardly possible the county attorney
pense which another trial would in
volve. 1t is believed that Mrs. Pratt
walked out of the court yesterday
practically a free woman. What will
be done with Persing is as yet in
doubt. County Attorney Hutchinson is
opposed to trying Persing until the
case against Mrs. Pratt is disposed of,
and Persing is clamoring for his re-
lease. 1t looks now as IL the mystery
OIL lHe uesttll OIL EIatl Woulo never NC
solved. In connection with the case
it is learned that the state employed
detective to attempt to secure adj
missions from Persing. He was a
Pinkerton man, who acted the role Of
a burglar and got himself arrested for
robbing the Pomeroy depot He was
placed in jail and made some ac-
quaintance with Persing. 1t is claimed
by the prosecution that important
statements were made by Persing to
this detective, but Persing refused to
go on the stand against Mrs. Pratt
and there is no record whatever to
show that Persing made the state-
ments imputed to him.

Dyspepsia certainly puts the best Of

calculated to deprive him of ambition,

we'll The stomach will get well enough
in its own natural way if it is let alone.
That is what Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab

truth of this statement by putting the
food you would eat into a glass jar

Travelling Men Are Gathering

Special to Times Republicans
Des Moines. Jan 19.-Today the
travelling men, who are members OF
the Iowa State Association, commenced
to come to Des Moines in large num-
bers to have the final round in the
matter of election Of a secretary. The
eleven Des Moines candidates for the
place have been keeping open head
from the outside has permitted it to be
known among his friends where he can
be seen at all times with the cigars.
Now that the hotels are filling up the
scene becomes more like a. political
state convention. 1t is believed that
there will be more travelling men in
Des Moines tomorrow than ever before
at any one time.
The election will be by ballot in the
convention of the association, unless
there is change in the bylaws before
the vote comes. The change proposed
by some of the candidates is to change
the bylaws so that a majority vote
Will be necessary to elect. AT present
a plurality only is required. 1nasmuch
as there are dozen active candidates,
this might mean the election of secre-
tary by less than a third or fourth of
the vote represented. If the change is
defeated then an effort will be made 60
have an informal ballot to disclose the
strength of the candidates before the
real election takes place.
The matter of the accusation that
the present secretary has been padding
the membership with persons who are
not eligible and that they are mostly
residents of Des Moines, so that they
can be here and vote, is receiving some
attention.
The question of possible removal Of
the headquarters to some other city is
not attracting the attention it did some
time ago, since it is believed that for
the present no removal is possible.
Among the people here Secretary
Deets is believed to have the lead for
the place. He has the prestige of hav-
ing been selected temporarily by the
board, and presumably he has the sup
port of the board. But others who are
strong are Robert Barrowman, John
MacVicar, Joseph Christy and j. Ell
kington, all of Des Moines. and G. c.
Porter. of Ottunwa.
