Rheumatism Ouickly Conquered

You know that rheumatism is caused by uric acid
ir the blood There's only thing on earth that
can get at this uric acid and drive it out of your ys
ter-thats electricity It soaks into every vein and
tissue of the body and drives the poisonous matter
through the circulation, back to the kidneys which
filter the blood of all impurities
ur Electra Vita has cured of the worst cases
OF rheumatism, after drugs and other methods had
failed When electricity goes in the body rheumatism
must go out
No pain can exist in body charged with electric
life You can have no rheumatism, weakness, no
inactive parts because the life generated by this
grand force gives health and strength to every organ

Disease always results when you break Natures

the real OF disease is due to the weakness or
inactivity Of some part Of the body machinery The

 It may be that fish eating Is not what 'tis cracked up to be. Thou sands of peculiar ideas exist in many matters and people are always found who will accept them We know now since We came to Alaska that colds never come rom cold at all. That was only another fish story.

The output of fish yearly from Al aska is now about equal to the output of gold. Salmon is a paystreak which will take an awful long time to peter out. Down in the southeast fish 's king. If one went down to that part of Alaska and tried to start an aGi- tation for new mining laws they would probably mark you down as crazy. Come up here and begin to tell an audience about the fish industry and you would receive about the same amount of attention as if you told the story of Jonas and his travelling com panion.
 But the day may come when fishing will be subject of very great inter est to Nome. By all accounts the possibilities for fishing around this part of the coast are really great and the location ought to be as favorable in summer as they are around the southern part.

ARMY OFFICERS ID
 GATHER IN CAPITAL
To Arrange Details of Ex- tensive Reorganization
 of the Service

Washington, December 21.-Most of the ranking army officers in the Unit ed States have been ordered to be in Washington January 8, for an import ant conference to arrange the details of the extensive plan of reorganization of the army. This will be the last inn portant act concerning the army the retiring administration will undertake. One such conference was held last summer to initiate the project. In brief. it contemplates the abolition of the present army departments and the creation of brigades as units in diff ferent parts of the country. These will be so arranged and proportioned in respect to the various arms of the service comprised as to be capable of troop concentration at moments mo- tice into regular army corps.
 Some of the features of the plan would require legislation to giVe them effect Most of the others can be carried out under executive orders. It is for the ptlr- pose of framing these that the January conference is called The officers sum- moned are: Major General Thomas II. Barry, William H. Carter and Arthur Murray; Brigadier Generals TasSer II. Bliss, Ramsay D. Potts. Frederick A. Smith. Marion F. Maus, Ralph w. Hoyt, Montgomery Maeomb, Walter c. Schuy- Ter, Robert K. Evans.

Decatur. December 21.-(Special.)- While playing with a 22-calibre rifle yesterday Bob Couch, aged F years, was accidentally shot in the fleshy part of one of his legs The wound was quite painful, but not serious.
 About two years ago Bailey Couch. a brother of Bob Couch, accidentally shot himself in the head with a 22-calibre rifle. Some months later he died from the ef- fects of the shot, it was thought.
 Mayor Henry A. Skeggs has issued Christmas proclamation calling for a sane and orderly Christmas in Decatur.
 The exploding of firearms and fireworks Is forbidden, and no drunkenness will be tolerated.
 Christmas trade in the Decaturs has been the quietest for number of years.
 The public schools of the Decaturs closed yesterday for the Christmas holidays. They will open again on January ,.

BALL ARGUES IN
 BEHALF OF KLINE
Lawyer for Defense in the Dynamite Trial Denounces
 Government Witness

Indianapolis Ind. December 2l.-As the eleventh attorney to speak for the de- fense, Walter l.. Ball today argued to the jury at the dynamite conspiracy trial in behalf of Hiram R. Kliqe. Mum cie, Ind, former organizer for the United Brotherhood Of Carpenters and Joiners.
 Kline and Olaf A. Tveitmoe, San Fran cisco, are the only two of the 10 de- fendants not identified with the iron workers.
 Whatever charges the government made as to Kline's complicity in the ex. posions against non-unlon men, MT. Ball said concerned the defendants presence in Detroit in the summer of 1910
 The lawyer attacked the testimony of Robert c. Ross, who said union officials in Detroit at that time plotted to blow up five buildings under construction by fopen shop contractors.
 Tt is singular that no outsiders were even present when Ross says the pro- posed explosions were talked about said Mir Ball. Tt is still more singular that Ross had no visible means of support other than he said he was working for a politician who was unfriendly to union labor. Afterwards Ross got a government job as q mechanic in Honolulu and he was brought all the way from there to tell that fimsy story of his.
 Alfred R. Hovey, another attorney for the defense, charged that the govern ment ill this prosecution has been aided by the National Erectors' association"
 Four more days are to be devoted to argument before the jury receives it's in- structions to retire and vote upon it's verdicts
