Success Attends EfF,rts to Secure Laws
from Nebraska Legislature.
CHILD LABOR AND DEcEDENT BILLS WIN
Record on First One that AstoniEhes
All and Brings Congratulations
from women All over
the Country.

Nebraska club women and others who
have participated in the work of the Ne
braska child labor law are being showered
with congratulations from ali quarters
upon the success OF the bill. Nebraska
has broken all records in this legislation,
for within six months from the time the
agitation was begun by the club women
the law was an accomplished fact Few
other states have accomplished this result
under two years OF hard work. over sixty
clubs in the Nebraska Federation, besides
many of the Women's Christian Temper
ance unions, sent petitions TO the legis-
lators, and many Of them supplemented
these petitions with other petitions and
letters from the men OF their respective
communities. 1t was an appropriate recog-
milton of the work of the women and Of
the chairman of their industrial commit
tee in particular that Governor Sheldon
sent Mrs. Draper Smith. as a souvenir,
the pen with which he signed the child
labor bill, making It a law.
The passage this week OF the decedent
or equal inheritance bill. measure orig
mating with the Omaha woman's club Is
another source of satisfaction TO them. Al
though Governor Sheldon told a commit
tee Of interested club women recently that
he voted against their measure on two
different occasions while a member Of
the legislature, they entertain little fear
that their bill will meet defeat this time
at his hands

A CURE FOR |NFLAMMATORY
 RHEUMATISM
Even the Most Obstinate Cases Yield to Dr.. Williams Pink Pills and Health Follows
 When Poisoned Blood
 Is Made Pure. :

It Is useless to try to cure rheuma- tism by rubbing liniments and oils on the skin.
 External applications are of use in securing temporary relief from pain the cure for rheumatism lies In purify ing and enriching the blood.
 The one remedy tha has cured moro cases of rheumatism than any other Is pr. Williams Pink Pills and an in stance of its power Is found in the case of Mrs. Frederick Brown. of 40 Stump ter Street, Sandy Hill, N. Y.
 Mrs. Brown, who is now in the prime of life and the mother of a family, was sufferer from infiammatory rheuma- tism from the time she was sixteen. She says: Tt first appeared in my knee joints, then in my hips and waist It became a regular thing that would be laid up all winter. The rheumatism affected mostly my hands. hips, feet and shoulders. My hands were all puff fed up and my feet became deformed. lost my appetite. couldn't sleep and sometimes I was compelled to cry out, the pain was so intense
 For several winters was under the doctors care and while his medicine re- lieved the pain for little while there seemed no prospect for a permanent cure. I was confined to my bed. off and
 
 swelled dreadfully at times and was reduced almost to nothing.
 In the spring of 1904. upon the ad vice of friend. I began to use Dr, Williams Pink Pills. At that time I wasn't able to do anything and could barely eat enough to keep alive. felt a change for the better in about month. l began to eat heartily and I suffered less pain. Of course l kept on the treatment, using care in my diet. and in about three months was cured. l am entirely well today and do all my own work. One of my daughters was also cured of rheumatism by the use of Dr. Williams Pink Pills and my other daughter has taken them with success for debility. She has greatly improved her strength. appetite and spirits and is a walking testimonial for the pills"
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills have also cured such blood diseases as anaemia, debility, scrofIlous conditions. after effects of the grip and levers. Owing to the intimate relation between the blood and nerves, the pills have been found invaluable in such nervous dts eases as dizziness, nervous debility, neu- raigia, St. Vitus' dance and even partial paralysis and locomotor ataxia.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or sent. postpaid, on re- ceipt of price. 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50. by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company. Schenectady, N. Y.

OFFERS A REWARD.
Gus Flood Thought to be Man Who
 Killed Phillips.

Gadsden May 2.--(Special )-Con- siderable mystery surrounding the murder of Amos Phillips in this city a year ago has been cleared up. when the Governor today offered a reward of $100 for the arrest and conviction of Gus alias Augustus Flood for that offence.
 It win be remembered that Phil lips a young white man who opera ted a small grocery store in Gadsden. was shot one night near the Southern Railway depot and expired in a few minutes. At the time he was sur rounded by a number of friends and was supposed to have been engaged in an altercation with an unknown man and boy.
 At that time. Flood the alleged guilty man. had fled to another State where traces of him were lost and the Governor now offers $100 for his apprehension.
 Phillips, the slain man. was a quiet inoffensive sort of fellow and at the time he received his death wound was not armed. The fight was the out come of attentions paid some notori- ous women, one of whom testified be- fore the recorders jury that young Nelson was the man who shot Phil lips.

 Burglar.
 Gadsden. May 2.-(Special )-One of the boldest robberies on record was committed yesterday at the ticket of flee of the Louisville and Nashville and the Alabama Great Southern Rail- ways depot in the Printup Hotel building.
