Thousands of men and women who
have felt the sting and torture of this
dread disease, which is no respecter
of age, persons, sex, color or rank, will
be interested to know that while for
many years rheumatism was consid-
cred an incurable disease, now 1t is
one of the easiest Affections of the hui
man body to conquer Medical science
has proven it not distinct disease in
itself, but a symptom caused zy inact-
tive kidneys. Rheumatism is uric
acid in the blood and other waste pro-
ducts of the system which should be
filtered and strained out in the form
of urine. The function of the kidneys
is to sift these poisons and acids out
and keep the blood clean and pure.
The kidneys, however, are of sponge
like substance, the holes or pores of
which will sometimes, either from
overwork, cold or exposure become
clogged and inactive, and failing In
their function of eliminating these poi
sons from the blood, they remain in
the veoins, decompose and settling
about the joints and muscles, cause
the untold suffering and pain of rheu-
matism and backache, often producing
complications of bladder and urinary
disease, weakness, etc.
The following simple prescription is
said to relieve the worst cases of rheu-
matism because of its direct action
upon the blood and kidneys, relieving
too the most severe forms of bladder
and urinary troubles: Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound
Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by
shaking well in bottle and take in
teaspoonful doses after each meal and
at bedtime. The ingredients can be
had from any good prescription phar-
macy and are absolutely harmless and
safe to use at any time.
But unless you go to the trouble to
ask the druggist for the Dandelion
and Sarsaparilla separately. and then

FRANKFORT, Ky, Jan. 30. - The
climax of William j. Bryan's visit IL
Frankfort was reached when he spoke
to the Democratic members of the leg
islature behind closed doors, advocat
ing the election of former Governor
Beckham as tTnltSd States senator
Mr. Bryan said neither Governor Beck

to Frankfort
He declared he had no fears for him
self. He said he was told in the Goe

self if he came to Kentucky.
Il am not afraid of hurting myself
when the interests of the Democratic
party are at stake" said Mr. Bryan.
Il might be candidate this year
he said. Il do not know Only two
delegates have been elected. and they

are not enough to elect me. IT what

Alfred Mahan, who was on SATURDAY.
convicted of murder in the second de-.
gree Tor killing his little niece, Ethel
Mahan, at North Bennington last April
was this afternoon given life sem
tence In the state prison at Windsor.
Just before two o'clock Mahan was
brought into court by Deputy Sheriff
John Nash who has acted as his Gus.
todian since the illness of Sheriff God,
frey.
For the first time Mahan was dir.
ected to seat in the prisoners dock
to the left of the jury platform. His
counsel. o. NJ Barber. soon time into
the court room and after a minute of
conversation the two took seats inside
the railing.
The ordeal was apparently a trying
one for Judge Hazelton. His face
was pale and 1t was with evident re-
luctance that he proceeded to pass the
sentence.
When Mahan> stood up his face was
colorless and drawn and his fingers
twitched nervously. Asked II he had
anything to say Why sentence should
not be passed upon him he attempted
to speak but his lips were so dry that
the words were unintelligible. He
moistened his lips and made a second
attempt but at this juncture Mr.. Bar
Der arose and stated that the respond.
ent had nothing to say.
Judge Hazelton then stated in effect
that the sentence in accordance with a
conviction of murder In the second de-
gree that the prisoner be confined at
hard labor in the state prison at Wind
sor for the remainder Of his days.
At the conclusion of the sentence
Mahan still stood staring at the court
and it was not until Judge Hazelton,
noticing his lack of comprehension,
said, that is ALL" that he sat down.l
Still instructed by his counsel he
passed out through the opening in the
railing to meet Deputy Nash who took
him back to his cell.
Ever since the jury brought in the
verdict there has been much curiosity
in regard to the time of sentence. At
Mondays sessions Of the court there
were good sized crowds in attendance
but as time passed and there were no
indications that the prisoner was to
be brought in and as the court gave
no intimation of his action in the mat
ter the curiosity gradually disappeared
and this afternoon there were but a
few more than dozen people present
when the sentence was pronounced.
In the gallery there was one lone wom-
an but as she stood in the shadow. of
the doorway 1t was impossible to see
whether she was some member of the
condemned mans family or not.
