SCIATIC
RHEUMATISM
Try the Treatment That Cured
This Pronounced Case in
Minneapolis After Other
treatments Failed.

Sciatica is neuralgia of the sciatic
nerve. Its origin is generally rheu-
matte and is the direct result of taking
cold. For this reason the disease is
commonly known as "~sciatic rheuma-
tism." That DR.. Williams Pink Pills
cure this disease is shown by numerous
cases like that of Mrs. j. B. Hansen, OF
No. 221 Twentieth Ave, &c., Minnea-
polls, MINI. She says:
"a few years ago following an attack
of the grip | was taken with sciarica.
For six years I suffered untold agony
and thought it would be a blessing to
me if I could only die. There were
sharp, shooting pains in both of my
limbs and my shoulders and arms were
affected also but not so severely. Ii l
moved about quickly, the pain would
catch me so that [ had to scream. My
limbs would swell until [ could hardly
walk. l also had a terrible dull pain
in my back which was often unbear-
able. l was confined to bed for a week
or two at a time. While suffering from
the sciatica l was further rundown by
weakness common to women of my age.
81 received SO little relief from the
doctors medicine that l became dis
couraged and quit it. My husband
urged me to try DR.. Williams Pink
Pills as he had read how they had cur
ed cases like mine. l felt better afterI
had taken the pills a short time but
took several boxes until l was certain 1
was cured. 1 give this statement of my
cure thinking that other sufferers may
be helped as / was through using DR..
Williams Pink Pills"
The tonic treatment with DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills succeeds where other
treatments fail because it is based on
the sound medical principle that the
health of the nerves depends on pure,
red blood.

SHOOTS UP HOTEL.
One Man Is Killed and Another is
Fatally Wounded BY Crazed
Waterman,

Butte.-Running through the corri-
dor of the Florence hotel, Thomas F.
Mcmahon, 81 years Of age, employed
for years as a Waterman at the Noun
tain View mine, shot and killed John
English and MORALLY wounded Samuel
.Huey of Topeka. Kan. &
In the city Jail Mcmahon expressed
regret that he had not his W gun.

the place if l had my own A." he
said.
More than twenty men were in the
hotel corridor when Mcmahon, wild
eyed and with a revolver in his hand,
rushed through. All who had time
to get away did so, but Huey, un-
armed, stood his ground to fight the
crazed man. Huey grabbed McMa-
hons arm as he was about t. fire in
to a group of. men. He succeeded in
preventing the shot, but fell to the
floor in the attempt. Then Mcmahon
turned upon him, firing a shot into
Huey's back.
Temporarily stopped by Huey's
brave act, Mcmahon vas surrounded
and overpowered. The revolver was
taken away from him, and he was
turned over to Patrolman Bob Rice
and Detective Mike O'Donnell.
Mcmahon worked until 10 o'clock
when he came into the Florence bar
room for a drink. There he met
Samuel Huey, Thomas G. May, John
English and R. T. Gillespie. The five
started shaking dice for the drinks
Toward morning, it is said, McMahor
became quarreisome and started sew
eral fist fights. Borrowing SIS, hi
bought the revolver and cartridges.
The four men were still at the bal
when he returned. He opened fire
on entering the door, striking English
with the first shot.

writes E. D. Baker of Morton county,

farm land that is rotated, spring
blowing is the best. l usually make
