HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM.
[t Is an Internal Disease and Re.
quires an Internal Remedy.

The cause Of Rheumatism and kim
dred diseases is an excess Of uric acid
In the blood. To cure this terrible dis
ease this acid must be expelled and
the system so regulated that no more
acid Will be formed In excessive quan-
titles. Rheumatism Is an internal
disease and requires an internal rem
edy. Rubbing with Oils and Lini-
ments will not cure, affords only tenn
porary relief at best, causes you to
delay the proper treatment. and al
lows the malady to get firmer hold
on you. Liniments may ease the pain
but they will no more cure Rheuma-
tism than paint will change the fibre
OF rotten wood.
Science has at last discovered u
perfect and complete cure, which is
called "Rheumacide." Tested In hun
dreds OF cases, it has effected the
most marvellous cures; we believe 1t
Will cure. you. Rheumacide "gets at
the joints from the inside" sweeps
the poisons out Of the system, tones
up the stomach regulates the liver
and kidneys and makes you we'll all
over. Rheumacide Strikes the roots
OF the disease and removes it's cause"

Washington, Jan. 20.-An attemnt
by Representative Lloyd, of Missouri
to resign as a member of the Joint
Congressional committee to investi-
gate the Ballinger- -Pinchot contro-
versy brought about a curious condi-
ton today. in which the House for a
time found itself practically in con-
troll of the minority, actual control of
the body being prevented only by re-
sorting to parliamentary tactics.
1t having been given out that there
would be Democratic caucus at 4.3O
o'clock most of the Republicans went
home, while practically every Demo-
crat was In his place. Motions to
adjourn were defeated by vociferous
choruses from the Democratic side.
Mr. Lloyd's resignation was read,
whereat Representative Tawney
made the point of order that no one
was authorized to receive it, and
would not be so authorized until the
! joint committee should be organized.
Even then he expected the committee
would have authority to receive
resignation of one of it's members
only by inference.
Mr.. Tawney undertook to demon
strate that Mr.. Lloyd, having been
elected to membership on the COM
mittee. had no avenue Of escape from
| service.
This view was combated by Mr..
Underwood, Of Alabama, who said
the House could accept the reslgna-
ton of member of any body it
should create.
Mr.. Lloyd attempted to obtain the
floor for an explanation, but was bar
red out by the parliamentary situation.
Mr.. Tawney seeing the impossibility
of an adjournment, attempted to
resume consideration of the deficien-
| cy bill as means to force an ad-
journment. Again the Democrats, in
overwhelming numbers, voted down
his motion. Renewing his motion to
adjourn Mr.. Tawney demanded q
roll-call as an answer to the chorus
of negative votes on the ground that
there was no quorum present. While
the roll-call was in progress and Re-
publican members were being called
| from their homes and hotels, several
miles away, Mr.. Underwood arose to
make an explanation.
After some delay the Alabama
member succeeded in saying there
| had been a general misunderstanding.
He explained that he had had no
knowledge Of Mr. Lloyd's intention
to offer his resignation at that time.
The minority, he added, had not pur-
| posely taken advantage Of the alb
sence Of Republican members. He
| said 1t was manifestly fair that he
should move to adjourn, and doing so
received unanimous support. and the
House at 7.05 o'clock adjourned, just
thirty-five minutes after the time
agreed upon for the Democratic eau
Gus. The Democratic caucus was
then assembled.

PAT STURGEON ACQUITTED
OF BLACKMAIL CHARGE

The case of the State against John
7. Spurgeon, commonly called
"Put," was tried on Monday aud
Tuesday of this week and resulted
in defendants acquittal.
The charge against young Spur
geun was that of blackmail, and the
State based its whole case upon the
fact that on the 18th day of last No
vcmbcr Deputy Sheriff Schaefer,
while standing in the doorway of
the st. Francois County Bank build
ing at about G:3O o'clock p. M, saw
the defendant pass the post Office
window and deposit what the officer
thought to be letter, and the letter
so thought to have been deposited
was Of blackmailing nature and
addressed to Mrs. Alice AuBuchon ;
and on the 10th day of November
MIR. f.. Nj. Laakmun had received II
similar letter and similarly printed
and addressed.
The defendant testified that he, on
that evening, left his fathers home,
out near the Power House, ut Z
O'Clock p. m, and did not write nor
deposit any letter. The defense also
showed that the young man had a
most excellent reputation, and that
1t was almost impossible to indentify
person at that time of the evening
from where the officer stood.
The jury was out less than thirty
minutes.
