A while later he raised his hands
in benediction upon those who were
gathered around him. Then he lay

The letter is addressed to Sunday

The excessive use OF Intoxicating
liquor is the cause OF a great deal OF
tie poverty, degradation and crime of
the world, and one who abstains from
the use Of such things avoids dan
Gerous temptation. Abraham Lincoln

quoted. Each person must determine
for himself the course he will take in
reference to his tastes and appetites,
but those VINO exercise the self-re-

An inventory of the articles stolen
from the residence of Charles G. Roe
bling in Trenton, N. j., last Wednes-
day night indicates that the burglar
made a haul representing between
$4,000 and $4,000 in intrinsic value.
Among the articles taken were a
number of valuables which money
cannot replace. Among these was a
lorgnette set with diamonds and
pearls, which was a gift from the
late Mrs. Washington r. Roebling tc
Mrs. Cornelius Hook, sister-in-law oi

HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM
1t Is An Internal Disease And Re-
quires An Internal Remedy.

quires An internal Remedy.
The cause of rheumatism and kindred
diseases is an excess of uric acid in the
blood. To cure this terrible disease this
acid must be expelled and the system so
regulated that no more acid will be
formed in excessive quantities. Rheuma-
tism is an internal disease and requires
an internal remedy. RUBBING with
Oils and Liniments WILL NOT CURE,
affords only temporary relief at best,
causes you to delay the proper treat
ment, and allows the malady to get a
firmer hold on you. Liniments may ease
the pain, but they will no more cure
rheumatism than paint will change the
fiber of rotten wood.
Science has at last discovered a per-
feet and complete cure, which is called
Rheumacide. Tested in hundreds of cases,
1t has effected the most marvellous cures;
we believe 1t will cure you. Rheumacids
gets at the joints from the inside, sweeps
the peisons out of the system, tones up
the stomach, regulates the liver and
kidneys and makes you well all over.
Rheumacide strikes the root of the dis
ease and removes its cause. This splen-
did remedy is sold by druggists and
dealers generally at Soc. and 81 bottle.

General Feeling Is That the Edition

The INDUSTRIAL EDITION of
the Republican was surprise to
everyone Its size, its excellence
of composition, makeup and press
work, the character of the matter it
contained-all made it by far the
best thing of the kind ever produced
in Marshall county.
Those who saw the edition were
unanimous in praise of it; and the
more any of them knew about
printing and the getting up of such
a paper, the greater was their praise.
Several from the country called up
the Republican office by telephone
especially to tell their appreciation
of the number.
The unanimous verdict was that
the Republican had done a great
thing, not only for itself, but for the
whole city and county. 1t is sure
to do Marshall county much good,
said an interested gentleman who
was much pleased with the paper. |
had no idea it was to be so good.
1t is the hes. Of lis kind ever put
out in this county.
This seemed the general verdict.
One man sat up till midnight read
ing the many interesting things in the
number Nearly everyone who calls
is buying from two to ten papers to
send to friends or relatives. They
are proud of the paper and the
paper makes them proud of Plym-
