SIX YEARS OF
SUFFERING
Chronic Stomach Trouble Pro,
nounced lncurable by Physi-

Treatment Although Pa
tient Had No Faith
In II.

Tor SIX year I suffered untold
misery from stomach trouble" says
Mrs. II. p. Flanagan. of Canton. South
IDakotn, although I was treated by
four physicians. No two agreed as TO
the nature or cause OF my disease. One
said / had ulcers OF the stomach. an
other that 1T was chronic stomach trou-
BILE n incurable, another called 1T
neuralgia.
THE pain was dull. not sharp. and
when / walked or rode ! noticed that 1t
was q great deal more severe. 1t wa
relieved when j rested or would lie
down. l had no appetite and didn't
care to eat Mt all. / tried to cot to
keep up my strength, but the pain was
there whether 1 ate or not. l was u
down in strength and weight.
MY husband read OF DR.. Williams
Pink Pills and persuaded me to try
them. When l began to take the pills
| had no faith in them whatever. but I
had found no relief in anything else. so
I tried them. 1 took about three boxes
and am SO we'll now that I eat every.
thing I want to. l have no trouble
with my stomach and have no doubt
that my cure is complete. My general
health Is good and I have gained in

MOTHER WAS HUNG CHARGED
WITH LINCOLN MURDER

Captain L D. surratt, of Baltimore,
who died Sunday, wa an intimate
friend of Mr.. c. L. sydnor, of this city.
who lived with him in Baltimore for
seven years.
Captain surratt was twenty-five
years of age when his mother was
hung, charged with playing a part In
the assassination OF President lincoln
Mrs. Surratt kept a clearinghouse
In Washington, and some of those who
We're implicated In the murder of Lin
coin lived there
She was tried in Washington, and so
much bitterness was e~ngendered by the
evidence that her son, Captain Surratt.
WAS forced to leave the country. he
went abroad and lived there three
years. Or his return he secured ser
vice with the Baltimore Steam Pack
ing Company. of which Mr.. Sydnor's
grandfather was president.
He became chief clerk and retained
this position up to the time OF his
death.
Captain Surratt always maintained
that his mother was a martyr to the
bitterness of the times. and, indeed,
avowed that a certain Catholic priest
could have proved her innocence. If
he could rave broken his vow and
disclosed evidence which he had Sc
cured under seal of the confessional.

Big Richmond Plant Reducing
Force to Actual Needs for
Immediate Orders.

Rumors have been current in Rich
mond during the past week OF a con-
siderable reduction in force at ,he
Richmond plant CT the American Loco
motive Company. A considerable num-
her were dropped after the weekly pay
on Saturday. october Goth, and on last
Saturday a large numbe in various
parts OF the works-possibly several
hundred-were dropped from the roll,
although 1t was said that the reduction
was only temporary. and only affected
part OF the works.
Officials OF the company are reticent
in discussing the matter in the absence
OF superintendent Haughton. who Is
in New York on business.
General Foreman Troxler said that
quite a number OF men had been ems
ployed in erecting some additional
buildings. but since these were now
completed tho construction force was
no longer needed. and a hundred or
more men had therefore been dropped.
In regard to the general situation in
the shops at large. another official SAID:
We are Just as busy. and. In fact,
buster. than we ever were. It has been
the custom ever since the plant WAS
established for some n or two de-
par.ments to get ahead OF others at
times. When this occurs we tighten up

This official continued: I'VE viii
probably lay off some more men In one
OF the shops. principally laborers. this
week, but the number will hardly eS-
coed 100. and I think all these men
will shortly be placed in some of the

This was probably a little above the
