The following simple home made
mixture is said to readily relieve and
overcome any form OF Rheumatism by
forcing the Kidneys to filter from the
blood and system all the uric acid and
poisonous waste matter, relieving at
once such symptoms as backache, weak
kidneys and bladder and blood dis
eases.
Try it, as it doesn't cost much to
make, and is said to be absolutely
harmless to the stomach.
Get the following harmless ingredi-
ents from any good pharmacy: Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces.
Mix by shaking we'll in u bottle, and
take teaspoonful after each meal and
again at bedtime.
This simple mixture is said to give
prompt relief. and there are very few
cases of Rheumatism and Kidney trou-
bles it will fail to cure permanently.
These are all harmless, everyday
drugs, and your druggist should keep
them in the prescription department; If
not, have him order for you, rather
than fail to use this, If you are af-

MINERS BATTLE is BEGUN
Trial of Steve Adams Is First Step in
Notorious Case Which Resulted from
the Steunenberg Assassination.

WACO, Tex, Feb. 12-Mass meetings
are being called by the state labor coun-
ellis to protest against the imprisonment
of Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone, who
have been in prison a year in Idaho,
charged with the murder of former Gov.
Steunenberg of Idaho, over year ago.
Union men here allege that the men
are being illegally restrained from trial
by conspiracy.
WALLACE, Ia, Feb. 12.-The great
legal battle for the life of Steve Adams
has begun here. On one side are the
forces of the state, seeking Adams con-
viction, the first step IN the attempt to
ton of Miners who are charged with the
assassination of former Gov. Steunen-
berg. On the other is the powerful fed
Grafton, declaring the charges are false
and an attempt by the mine owners to
break up the union.
The crime charged against Adams is
the murder of Fred Tyler, settler, who
disappeared from his timber claim on
Marble Greek, August 10. 1904, and
whose body was found later. Tyler's
murder remained a mystery until after
the death of Steunenberg. Harry Or
chard's confession not only implicated
Adams and other federation men in the
Steunenberg murder, but charged that
Adams and Jack Simpkins also killed
Tyler because he had taken up the tim
Der claim. Simpkins never has been
found.
e. E. Richardson for the defense to-
day denied the existence of corruption
fund, but admitted that the federation
engaged counsel for the defendant He
asked that Attorney Harry knight be
reprimanded for making the charges.
