Rheumatism Cannot Be Cured
Unless Uric.0 is Used.
Sudden Deaths, Heart Failure and
Paralysis Are Caused BY Poisonous
Uric and Rheumatic Acids.

Uric and Rheumatic Acids.
The rheumatic person is skeptical re-
garding the claims of almost any remedy
advertised as a cure for rheumatism and
one can scarcely blame him for being
so. All the plasters and linements COM
bined never actually cured a case of
rheumatism. They may relieve it in one
quarter, but it is sure to break out some
where else. The only true way to cure
rheumatism is to drive it from the system,
for as long as the uric and rheumatic
acid remains in the blood, one is never
entirely free from the trouble. This is
where the value Of Uric-O as a permanent
cure for Rheumatism comes in. 1t seeks
out the Rheumatic poison in the blood
muscles and kidneys, renders it inert and
harmless and drives II out of the system
That is why Uric-O is such an admir-
able and effective cure for rheumatism
The chief reason that Uric-O is such
a wonderful cure for rheumatism is,
that 1t is designed and prepared to cure
rheumatism and rheumatism only. 1t is
composed of perfect antidotes for the
rheumatic acid poison in the system.
That is the secret of its wonderful sue
cess. Rheumatism simply can not exist
in persons system If Uric-O is used
Uric-O is sold by druggists at Use and
Sl00 the bottle, but II you still feel skep-
teal about its efficacy you can test it
free of charge by cutting out this adver-
tsement and sending same together
with your name and address, also the
name of your druggist, to the Smith
Drug Company Syracuse, N, Y, and
they will send you a sample bottle free
To persons who write and say they have
never used Uric-O, and want to test it
thoroughly, and will agree to take it
Systematically, according to directions,
they frequently give a regular 75c bottle
free.
Uric-O is sold and recommended in
Brattleboro by the Brooks House Phar-
macy.

 dering with a caravan of camels over that white expanse of sun warmed sand The Sahara is like the beach at Atlantic City, 8 flat immensity of the whitest, cleanest sand, and the stran- gest thing did in my wanderings was to eat desert grasshoppers. The Arabs regard these grasshoppers- as luxury, and was tempted to try them, just as in Paris 1 have been tempted to try snails. The grasshoppers were good. You plucked off the wings, the legs and the head, and then you ate the dried body. This morsel tasted precise ly like an English walnut. l ate grass hoppers several times, and when l re- turn to the Sahara I am going to eat them again."

A Brides Dilemma.

A humorous romance Is reported from Natal, where youthful Hindoo bride was recently called upon to choose between her husband and her jewels. The case came before the Dur ban police court i'll the first instance, where the brides parents. says the Natal Mercury. accused her husband of abducting her while under thirteen years of age. The bride, however, claimed to be eighteen, and the maSlS- trate dismissed the case. Outside the court tug of war took place between the two parties for the possession ot the bride, in the course of which it ap peared that what her parents particu larly desired was not herself, but he1 jewelry A sergeant of police then sa1 in judgment and decided that the jew ery belonged to the parents and the girl must choose between her husbane and her bracelets. After some cog!ta tion she chose the husband, who promptly unfastened the bangles iron her arms and handed them to he1 parents.

SURVIVORS OF
 SHILOH BATTLE

Shiloh Park, April 6.-The surviv- ors of the battle of Shiloh are gath cred here today on the 45th anniver- sary of the great struggle. Union men and Confederates are here, compan- ionable and reminiscent, and thor ough]y enjoying themselves with old comrades, exchanging memories, and greeting new faces and acquaintances Shiloh National park is one of the finest and most unique constructed by the national government, and con- tains only fifteen fewer graves than there are at Gettysburg, where the waves of secession reached their high water mark. It contains 3,7O0 acres, all of which was fighting ground. It is the only park where the entire ground was fighting ground. It is al- so unique in this. that it is the only park where the entire ground was the camp of a great army prior to the bat tie. The locations of the tents of the Army of the Tennessee are all mark ed, so that it is possible for nearly every man who served in that army to locate the exact spot where he slept while i'll camp. The Confed- crate dead still remain where they were buried after the battle, and their graves, which consisted of long trenches, containing from one to three hundred bodies, are surrounded by concrete walls. There are also hundreds of markers and monuments indicating historical points and loca- ton of all organizations engaged in
 the battle. The famous Hornets Nest" where Gen. Prentiss repulsed 12 desperate charges, covering the ground in front with Confederate dead; Bloody Pond," just as it ap- peared at the time of the battle; the peach orchard where Hurlburt' < men with Mann's Light Artillery, and Stewards brigade stood off Jackson's and Chalmers divisions of COnfeder- ates for four hours until beaten back by overwhelming numbers, all may be traced out. Unwelcome as the thought may be it must be recognized that this is probably theelast excur
 sion that the survivors of the battle of Shiloh will give to make together to the field of that historic conflict.

The Judue In Jail.

"I," said an esteemed magistrate, "spent week in jail before I entered on my judgeship. I ate the prison food. I slept i'll a cell. conformed with all the prison rules. wore the prison clothes. l did the prison work. Thus I learned the value of the sen tences I was to mete out later on. got to know what a week, a month. a year. in jail meant. AS result l an more merciful than most judges. think it would be a good thing if every judge before taking office would spend a little while in jail as did. He woulG then know the value of prison sen tences, thing he doesn't know now Now he is like cashier who attempts to pay out money in a coinage o1 which he is ignorant. In Baden this thing l speak of must be done. Every judge in Baden before he takes his seat on the bench is required by law to pass weeks like common prisoner in jail" Cincinnati Enquirer.

OF BENEFIT s<a TO TOURISTS

New York, April 6.-The interstate commerce commission having made a ruling that no ticket could be val dated short Of destination, the Southern Pacific and other transcon- tinental lines expect to publish q provision in their new tariffs which will make it possible to validate these tickets at the principal points in California, without holders hay ing to go to Los Angeles or San Francisco This will be gratifying to tourists, as under the ruling if a ticket is not validated as required II becomes a dead loss, as it cannot be sent by mail for that purpose, but must be presented in person. The result is that inconvenience oc- cured and has subjected the rail roads to much more severe censure and criticism, when they were not at fault, but were simply obeying the law and escaping prosecution for It's violation. The Southern Pacific has a new rule, under which, when a person buys ticket at an outside depot and cannot use it the station agent may redeem it, on proper presentation Heretofore tickets Nould be redeemed only at the gen Nral office. This entailed mucE lime and expense and considerable correspondence.

New Orleans, March PA steamer
arriving today brings the following
kilograms from Puerto Cortez, Hon
duras, describing the recent battles
between Honduras and Nicaragua:
San Pedro de Sui - An exploring
party of Honduras troops attacked
The enemy in considerable numbers
at Namasique, capturing three advanc-
ed positions, dislodging them from the
town and driving them from the vicin-
Try. The losses of the Nicaraguan
forces We're numerous. The Hondur-
an attacking column was small, ad-
vancing under command of Colonel
Leecano Lardizabel in the face of an
artillery fire.
Rifles, ammunition and stores were
captured in considerable quantities.
SO completely did the Nicaraguans dis
band in their fight that although num-
bering several hundred, they were
powerless to return even within close
proximity to Namasique. The fight
ing lasted four to five hours without
material loss to the Honduraneans.
The Nicarasuan forces, attempting re-
prisal for the capture of Namasique,
attacked Honduran cavalry in Yusgu-
are. but were repulsed.
General Emiliane Cromorro attack
ed Old Dcpilto, where the Nicaraguans
had 400 mon. and completely defeated
Chem. taking fifty prisoners and cap
turing cannon, rifles and ammunition
and eighty mules. No loss of life was
mentioned i'm this dispatch but that
there were fatalities is evident from
a telegram saying that Hondureanean
losses We're comparatively insignifi-
cant.
other dispatches include an order
of President Bonilla appointing Sat
urnino Medal "to be the inspector gen
eral of the army of the republic, who
will act in my behalf and shall be
obeyed by all authorities"
The taking of the field by Manuel
Bonilla in person at the head of the
troops occasioned the following tele-
gram from Tegusigalpa: The pres
ence of the president at the head Of
the army has completely changed the
situation. Enthusiasm has grown to
such an extent that many persons Of

70 CONFER WITH ROOSEVELT

Railroad King and the President of
the Republic Have Made an Appoint
ment for an Interchange Of opin.
ions on Railway Matters.
Washington, March 11-Chairman
Knapp Of the interstate commerce
commission said today that so far as
the commission is concerned, the TAX
ing Of testimony in the investigation
of the Hartman lines is closed, but
that the commission has under consid-
Grafton the ACCESSIBILITY of asking the
United States circuit court for the
southern district of New York to com
pei Mr.. Hartman to answer certain
questions which he did not answer to
the satisfaction of the commission
when he was on the witness stand in
New York. Pending such action, Mr..
Harriman's counsel asked to be heard
before the commission April A, which
request was granted and that date
was recently fixed for arguments.
Chairman Knapp explained that the
commission alone has power to con-
clude testimony in the case, and that
it will reserve the right, if it sees fit
to reopen the case at any time.
Mr.. Hartman will have a confer
ence with President Roosevelt next
Thursday. When Mr. Harriman's
counsel asked for the hearing on April
4, at which time they want to present
arguments regarding the contention
that the Union Pacific and Southern
Pacific are parallel and competing
Ines, it was understood by the com
mission that if Mr.. Harriman's coun-
sci desired to submit additional testi-
mony on that date they might do so,
and also II the commission desired to
bring out any new point it would, but
that any such additional testimony, il
at all, would be brief Asked If Mr..
Hartman was likely to go on the
stand in such event, Chairman Knapp
replied that If Mr.. Hartman desired
to take the stand he would be per-
mitted.
