RheuIllat
A Home Cure Given by One Who
 Had It

A Home Curo GlVen Dy one Wuo
 Had It
 In the spring of 1893 was at tackled by Muscular and Inf1am- matory Rheumatism. I suffered as only those who have it know, for over three years. I tried remedy after remedy, and doctor after doctor, but such relief as I receiv- ed was only temporary. Finally, I found a remedy that cured me completely, and it has never re- turned. I have given it to g. num-, Der who were terribly afflicted and even bedridden with Rheumatism and it effected a cure in every case.
 I want every sufferer from any form of rheumatic trouble to try this marvellous healing power. Don't send a cent; simply mail your name and address and I will send it free to try. After you have used it and it has proven itself to be that long-looked-for means of curing your Rheumatism, you may send the price of it, one dollar, but, understand, I do not want your money unless you are per fectly satisfied to send it. Isn't that fair? Why suffer any longer when positive relief is thus offer ed you free? Don't delay. Write today.

 A telegram was received yesterday regarding the condition of Mrs. Nor ris, who has been critically ill in hospital at San Francisco for a num- Der of weeks. Her temperature has dropped to normal and she is able to take more nourishment. Her friends are much encouraged. The doctor in attendance says that it is the severest case of typhoid fever that he ever handled, and that the patient has been able to endure and to make progress is considered wonderful.
 A wheel club male chorus is to be formed and the first rehearsal will be on Thursday night at ' o'clock, with Prof. BisseH as instructor.

 Although the forums have been a pronounced success the management i has been disappointed in one partic- ri9r---nnt II n6 gument enough to properly bring out ] the forum feature.

HOUK WILL LEAD
DISTR|CT|NG FIGHT
East Tennessean Contends
Present Arrangement
Is Unfair.
Especial to The News Seminary


KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Nov. I'll
Senator John C. Houk is to advocate
redistricting of Tennessee and re-
apportionment of it's representatives
in congress, and its state senator's
and representatives.
He contends the districting of the
state with regard to state senator's
and representatives Is entirely with
out system and is absolutely hap
hazard He asserts that it does not
provide fair representation for the
people of the state, but Is really
misrepresentation. He claims that
his own senatorial district extends
from Straw Plains to the Georgia
state line, and that it is several times
as large as districts in Middle and
West Tennessee. Senator Houk in
sists that the Democrats are in con-
troll and that they maintain this plan
of redistricting in order to keep down
the number of Republican members
of the Legislature.
Senator Houk suggests that a
number as a divisor be selected by
the state legislature and that it be
used in dividing the population of
the counties, and that when found
ltCtSSdiy give CpuulltS one, TWO,
three or four representatives, &C
cording to the results of the divid-
ing.
If there are remainders, he sug
gests that it will not be difficult to
agree upon a plan for representa-
tives for the numbers left over. A
fair plan of joint representativeship
or senatorship would meet this diff
fiCultV he ola inns
If a fair and systematic plan is
carried out Senator Houk claims
that it would result in the Republic
ans having as many senators as the
Democrats and equal strength in the
lower house of the general assem-
bly,. He claims the present arrange
ment of districts is strategically and
politically formed rather than sys-
tematically and fairly.
Senator Houk also claims that the
judicial districts are formed without
system, and that they should be
placed on the basis of system. He
contends that the Republicans should
have at least half of the circuit
judges of Tennessee, and that a sys-
tematic plan of redistricting will
bring about this result.

CORINTH, Miss, Nov. 27.--Both
glorious and welcome is the news
that the government has taken some
action with reference to rendering
aid on the Gulf highway south of
Corinth and to the Prentlss county
line.
The road Is completed to what is
known as Jobe's corner, three -fourths
of a mile south of the end of the
Whittemore levee, and it is from this
point on to the county line that the
government will aid in the construc-
ton.
After having been held up almost
two years with all kinds of COM
plants coming from the taxpayers
and those who travel the road, it is
a source of much satisfaction to
contemplate that there is a possibili-
ty of some action of beneficial ma
ture.
1t is estimated by the government
that it will cost from 100000 to
$150,000 to construct the eight miles
of road provided for in the biddings
