No More Rheumatism
TOrturing Pains mad Swollen Joints
 Vanish When Rheuma is Used.

At last a real remedy for. rheuma- tism! And a good one it must be when Lee & Osgood and good druggists everywhere sell it on the no-cure mo- pay basis.
 with great rejoicing. for it is surely 9 remarkable remedy and has a record of almost unbelievable cures. Read what J. r. Oliver of Albany. Ga, says about it:
 q had sciatic rheumatism for. two years. and tried every medicine offered for rheumatism. Tried many doctors, was treated at one of the best South any I did not realize it.. I am a. con ductor on the Central of Georgia rail road, and had secl tsd pass to Hot Springs, Ark. to take treatment. About that time I saw Rheuma advertised and concluded to try it. I abandoned my trip, took three bottles. and how. feel as we'll as ever. I would not take a hundred thousand dollars for what Rheuma has done for me-" If you have rheumatism in any form. don't delay-try Rheuma today. A | large bottle is not expensive, and your money back if it does not give you | quick and joyful relief.

FIXES DATE FOR FLOWAGE ARGUMENTS

How to fix date for making the arguments in the superior court here in the case of Martha Wilcox, trustee, of Shewville, against Valentine Reich so as best to accommodate the time to other business engagements of court, counsel or jurymen, and at the same time avoid encroaching on Christmas day, was a problem that engaged the attention of Judge W. NJ. Maltbie on Thursday afternoon, when both sides had all their evidence in and had rest ed their cases at o'clock.
 But Judge Maltbie did it, and in a way that not even the wisdom of Solomon could hayes surpassed, as Clerk George E.. Parsons remarked to him when the judge asked the clerk if next Monday afternoon at ? o'clock would be a time that would aecommo- date the court So it was placed for that time, and it is expected that two arguments can be made that after noon, two more and the charge to the jury will come the next morning, with the expectation that a verdict can be reached before Christmas day.
 As there was only half an hour of the regular court time left when the case was concluded Thursday, Judge Maltbie said that it had seemed to him it would be best to put the argu- ments off till next Thursday morning. Whereupon Juryman Frank K. Moves of Lebanon spoke up and said he had engaged to conduct an auction at 10 o'clock that morning. Two o'clock in the afternoon of the same day was suggested, but the juror said he could not possibly be through with the auc- tion by that time. Saturday was next suggested, but Attorney A. M. Brown. 1 one of the counsel for~the defendant, said Saturday was pretty awkward day for hira, and juror on the back
 row of seats also said that Saturday would hardly suit him. Judge Maltbie then shifted back to Monday. This brought Major Hadla'
 A. Hull, one of the counsel for the plaintiff. to his feet, while the court
 and jury showed how they enjoyed the situation by the audible smile that ran around the room. The major said he had an argument in case to max.
 at New Haven next Friday and he
 had been expecting to go on to New York for Sunday and didn't know
 whether he could be back in time.
 Attorney Brown offered a little pleasantry about the unreasonableness
 of expecting Major Hull to be in con-

I thought that he would raise his arms and yell .sKamerad" but seeing he was not doing it started to slide my thumb along the strap of my gun so as to throw it to my right. He saw me and stopped down as l took two steps (sloW ones to misguide him) to the corner of the trench and ran back through the trench 30 yards. How those three grenades he threw did make the dirt and roots fly. Know ing that I had fooled him I smiled and felt as cool as a pickle. 1 crept. up along the trench and there through the bushes I could see him. It sure was his finish. As I went past him later I saw he was an officer and, what swell clothes he wore, and a dandy overcoat. He was near ma chine gun in it's emplacement. On we had to go and keep going for five days.

And the K. of c. can't forget them. They give us ci- garettes, candy and chewing gum, ano one day they gave all of us boys 3 l corncob pipe. The Y. M. C. A. is very | good, too, because if you are way baci ] of the lines you can find them anC buy chocolate and cigarettes, but | | there is a Red Cross around It I much cheaper. Cigarettes at the } are 10 cents and cups of cocoa cent: while at the Red Cross the same IS i cents and cocoa is free.
 The place here is fine and the wea tners is great, cool, but not cold. I went to church here this morn ing. The Catholic services are hel' at 8 o'clock.
 You have no idea how thankful al
 the boys are to those who have don so much for us while we were oEe

DAVIS THEATRE.

Capacity houses greeted the bill for the last half of the week at the Davis theatre on Thursday. The program taken as a whole is very good and IS featured by the sensational acrobatic act put on by the Joe DeKos troupe. In this act there are four men, a boy and a woman, the four men and the boy doing the work and the woman lending an artistic touch to the act by her presence.
 Rosamond and Dorothy, two women, present musical act but spoil it with an attempt at comedy and side re- marks to the orchestra. The two, one a pianist and the other violinist, can play, but with their singing and com edy distract attention from their tal- ents and spoil what might be feature act.
 Mcintyre and Robbins in An Alley Rehearsal present good novelty singing and talking sketch.
 The feature picture. is A Daughter of the Old South, featuring Pauline Frederick A Christie comedy com pletes the bill.

dition. to make an argument after a day in New York, but the major said he thought he could change his p.s.i.s to leave out the trip to New York and he would consent to Monday.
 To see that no last straw remained in the way, Judge Maltbie inquired of the court clerk, Judge Parsons. if a6aV court engagements stood in the way. and the answer was the neat compli- ment as to the wisdom shown by the judge on the bench as the clerk put down the date in his records.
 Witnesses Who were called to the stand on Wednesday and Thursday by the plaintiff were Walter G. Hitchon Conrad Kinney, Alonzo Main. John O Peckhanl, Samuel E.. Holdridge, Calvin Frink, Frank Nomer Calvin Wilcox Warren T. Whitmarsh and George Mattern.
 The plaintiff rested a little after noon on Thursday in presenting testi- mony to support his suit for $4,00t damages against MT. Reich and an lr- junction to restrain him from raising the dam at the pond at Mathewson's Mills.
 The defendants attorneys closed their case after placing these witness es on the stand: Loren E. Daboll, Val eutlne Re1ch, John b. R0gler, Enl Bausch, Henry P. Karoli, Paul Greiner Frank Christ, Stephen J. Kehoe. When both sides had rested, Attor ney Brown made the suggestion tha the court and jury should visit tht location of the property before tn, arguments were made.
 Attorney Hull opposed this on thu ground of the time that it would talk and he did not believe the jury coult see the stream properly unless the, got into hip boots, as the surveys had done, and waded up the stream. l After Judge Maltbie had asked tw,
 of the jurors what they thought abou the suggestion, he decided against tn proposal, as he said he thought sucl a visit as MT. Brown proposed woul 1 be of doubtful value.
 l Then the arrangement about the ar
 guments was made and the jury wa
 excused until Monday afternoon. 1 The jury chosen in the case consist
 of Orrin B. Leffingwell, William Roger: i Norwich; Henry Hart, J. Ernest Ken
 nedy, Gustavus A. Holdef, Preston

 TROUBLE RECALLED;
 DEAD LIST HELD UP

The events at Morales this week re- minds people that it was not the first of the kind A similar one with much more bloodshed occurred al the Line City three or four years ago, but thare has been so much killing elsewhere since then that the people had forgot ten it.
 Then some Mexican soldiers of tle faction which happened to be in pos session of Nogales kept firing across the line at American soldiers. Several of the Americans had been hit within day or two and warning was sent to the Mexican commander that persis- tence in that sort of thing would meet with retaliation. One morning after another American had been shot, tine order to fire was given and Obeyed with such result that S60 Mexicans were killed Then order was restored.
 The Associated Press correspondent at Nogales gathered all the information he could about the Mexican casualties and framed a dispatch. General gun = ston happened to be in the telegraph office when he went to file it. Let me see it." said Funston The gen = eral drew pencil through the 8. Now it's all right said Funston; mo uso to excite the country; 50 is plenty.
 A Phoenician who happened to DC at Nogales at the time said that ne counted 120 bodies which had baen loaded on flat car to be taken out to be burned and at that time many more not gathered up yet were lying aoout tbc town. In his opinion, the numb T killed was nearer 400 than 360.
