so MUCH SNOW
 NEVER FELL BEFORE
 so LATE IN YEAR
Weather Observer Jennings Says Snow Storm Is Rec ord for Observation-Disclosures During Last IT Years.

Weather Observer Jennings who has complete record of the weather in this city for the past IT years says that the storm of yesterday was the latest heavy snow storm this city has had since he has been an observer, and he does not remember of there being so heavy snow storm so late in the Spring, at anytime prior to his keeping the record. April has had a heavier snow storm in the past IT years than the visitation of yesterday. But it Came early in the month. On April 3
 1907 there was fall of six inches and the total snowfall for the month, in 1907, was II inches. Observer Jennings gauge shows that the fall of yesterday was 21s inches. Someone stated yes- terday that there was a snowfall in May, 1908, but Observer Jennings says there is no such fall on his record, ex- cept a furry that lasted a few seconds

UNHAPPY WIFE IS
 FREED FROM MAN
 WHO ABUSED HER

Carrie s. Howard of this city mar ried Edward l.. Lyon of Monroe. May 2. 1898, they living happily for time. According to her testimony to-day he developed an ungovernable temper and while he was in that state he used to vent his anger on his wife. Things soon came to turn when the little wife would no longer endure his beat ing and she left him going to the home of her sister in New Britain. He followed her, and on promises to do better she returned to Monroe to live. He did not remain true to his word but taking her by the hair pulled her about the house. The court granted the decree on the grounds of cruelty. Mrs. Lyon was given the custody of their minor child. She resides at 644 Broad street.

Birthdays and Health.

For several years I have noticed that in a period of from about three to two weeks preceding the anniversary of my birth I have had a feeling of returning vtgor. renewal of vitality such as I have not experienced at any other time of the year. This has last ed for from two to eight days, but has always ceased some days before the anniversary: hence it has occurred to me that there may be some connection between the approach or recurrence of ones birth date and the maintenance of one's health.-London Graphic.

Monster Petition for
Woman Suffrage,

In an effort to silence the oft reit-
Grated statement that women do not
want to vote, the suffrag.sts of the
United States are now engaged Ia Sc
curing signatures to petition asking
Congress to submit 10 the legislatures
Of the several states for ratification
an amendment TO the national consti-
tuition which will enfranchise women.
The work has been organized on Il
larger scale than ever before attempt
ed and is in charge of no less person
than Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait. the
President of the International Wo-
man Suffrage Alliance, who directs
activities from headquarters estab-
lished for this purpose at 20 East Goth
ST., New York City. Here force of
competent clerks and body of yolun-
teer helpers send out the blanks and
aud look after the returns.
Mrs. Gait Is one of the best known
workers in the woman suffrage cause
In the world, and indeed may be said
to belong to the world, for she
was born in Wisconsin, reared
and educated IN Iowa, was the first
woman reporter in the city of San
Francisco, lived in the state of Wash
ington and later removed TO New
York. When Susan b. Anthony re-
Tired from the active leadership OF
the National American Woman Suff-
rage Association In 1900, Mrs. Chap
man Gait was unanimously elected
president. In 1904 she became presi-
dent of the International Woman
Suffrage Alliance, which in the few
short years of Its existence has grown
into an affiliation of national organiz-
atiOns from sixteen countries. The
president of the International Wo-
man Suffrage Alliance is just as
simple and sweet in her manner, just
as democratic and unspoiled as was
the young woman who came from
''out west" years ago and commenced
work in the National Association as
Chairman OF its organization commit
tee.
Michigan women have pledged 1OO,-
0C0 names as their portion of the
names that it is hoped will be secured
to the petition to go before congress
at their next session. Our governor
has signed IL, also the lieutenant gov

The Best Family News
paper.

An ideal newspaper for the Ameri-
can home must be habituallY clean
and highminded, 1t must offer some
thing of interest to every member OF
the family, and it must present daily
the news of the whole world In au-
thentic and readable form. A large
contract, you will say. Well, the
newspaper that comes nearest to fill
ing it In the West is the Chicago
Record Herald. Its moral tone is al
ways high, It's news service is unsur-
passed, end probably no other news
paper in the United States has so
brilliant an arrry OF special features
suited to the tastes ond needs of
every member of the family.
Business and professional men have
long regarded the Record Herald as
the best paper for their own readin &
because OF its unequaled faculty for
getting all the news OF the world and
form for the busy man. They also es-
TEEN it for the reliability of its finan-
cial, agricultural and market reports.
Young men perhaps find its greatest
attraction In the excellent sporting
department, which fills four entire
pages on Sunday and page or more
on other days. Wives and mothers
emphatically prefer the Record Her
aid on account Of its well-conGucted
feminine departments its daily
recipes and menus, its daily fashion
news and hints of home dressmaking,
Nine. Qui Wives pungent and sensI-
BILE beuty talks, Marion Harland's
famous page and the rest of the good
things that make up the handsome
Woman's Section in the Sunday paper.
Children enjoy the Little Memo and
other Comic Section pictures, with
the bright stories for boys and girls
every Sunday. And all the family to-
gether can enjoy the interesting
travels and special articles Of William
E. Curtis, Mr.. Kiser's humor and
verse, the serial stories and many
similar features outside the news
columns.
The Chicago Record Herald has
every right to call itself the best all
round family newspaper in the West.

Shake Ingredients
in a Bottle to Mix.

To relieve the worst forms Of Rheu-
matism, take teaspoonful Of the fol-
lowing mixture after each meal and
at bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon. one ounce;
Compound Syrnp Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
These harmless ingredients can be
obtained from our home druggists.
aud are asily mixed by shaking them
well ia bottle. Relief is generally
fel0rom the first few doses.
This prescription forced the clogged
up, inactive kidneys to filter and
strain from the blood the poisonous
waste matter and uric acid, which
causes Rheumatism.
AS rheumatism Is not only the
most painful and torturous disease.
bu dangerous to like, this simple
rS6Ipe will no doubt be greatly valued
by many sufferers here at home, who
snould at once prepare the mixture
to get this relief.
1t is said that person who would
take this prescription regularly, a
dose or two daily, or even few times
a week, would never have serious Kid
ney or Urinary disorders or Rheuma-
tism.
Ont this out and preserve il. Good
Rheumatism Prescriptions which real
ly relieve are scarce, indeed, and
when you need IL, you want IL badly.
