( Special ) The Board of Public Lands and Buildings Is figuring on the feasibility of putting In one central lighting plant to furnish electric lights for the ( he btatc Institutions located hero , namely , the btate capltol , asylum university , penitentiary ani Home for the Friendless It Is estimated that the cxpcnsu of one cen tral station , of large capacity would be no jnoro than for * two small plants , and much less than for five. The plan would do away with the largo gas bill that has to be paid now for the capltol building. Draftsman Schlcagel Is at work tcday measuring the distances between the various Institutions , in order that an estimate may be made on the expensa of the new plan.

In the charges filed against him there arc three counts , alleging him to be guilty of forgery , uttering forged paper and attempting to ob tain mono ] under false pretenses.

The officials of the York bank have been very aggressive In pushing the matter. T.-cy , In conr.ectlon with the bankers' asso ciation and the detectives , have spared no pains or expense On last Saturday Assistant Superintendent lile of the I'lnkcrtan agency , who had been detailed for this cano , wired the Y. rk bank tl.at the man had 'been traced to Hampton , III. , a small town ten miles north of Rock Island , where he was living with a family.

The first touch of Rheumatism is a fair warning of much tor ture to follow. The little pains which dart through the body are not so severe at first , possibly a mere pang , and cause little inconvenience , but if the warning is unheeded , they will multi ply rapidly and increase in severity until they become almost unbearable. Rheumatism as a rule is much severer in winter , though many are &o afflicted wiih it that they are crippled all the year lound. Those who felt its first touch last year may be sure tlint with the first season of cold or disagreeable weather , the mild pain of last year will return as a severe one , and become more and more intense until the dibease has them completely in its grasp.

" Being a disease of the blood of the most obstinate type , Rheu matism can be cured only by a real blood remedy. No lini ments or ointments can possibly reach the disease. Swift' * Specific ( S. S. S. ) is the only cure for Rheumatism , because it is the only blood remedy that goes down to the very bottom of nil obhtinate blood troubles , and cures cases which other reme dies cannot reach. The mercurial and potash remedies , which the doctors always prescribe for Rheumatism , only aggravate the trouble , and cause a stiffness in the joints and aching of the bones , which add so much to the distress of the disease , besides seriously affecting the digestive organs. S. S. S. is absolutely free from potash , mercury or other mineral ; it is the only blood remedy guar anteed PURELY VEGETABLE. , u Books sent free by Swift Specific Co. , Box Y , Atlanta. Ga2
