Stand the Run.
Cincinnati, Ohio, March 29.—The Com
mercial bank, a state Institution, long
regarded as financially solid, made an
assignment yesterday to W. H. Camp
bell, the cashier. The cause of the sus
pension was inability to meet the calls
made upon It by the clearing-house.

straitened circumstances for some
time, but the determination to suspend

TO CLEAR THE RESERVATION.
Government to Evict 975 Settlers on the

secretary of the Interior, and, as a con
sequence, the government refused to
rcognlze the right of the white settlers
to move to the reservation. Many of
the settlers are said to be determined
to fight to a finish, and it may be neces
sary to have a detachment of troops
sent to the reservation to enforce the
order. A train load of deputies will go
there to-day, and If trouble results
troops will follow.

ACUTE DYSPEPSIA.
SYMPATHETIC HEART DISEASE
OFTEN ATTENDS IT.
The Modern Treatment Ciiulitt In So*
asovlng the Canto,
From Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Republican.
Mrs. V. Curley who has resided In
Clarence, Iowa, for the past twenty
two years, tolls an Interesting story of
what she considers rescue from prema
ture death. Her narrative follows:
“For ten yearn prior to 1894, I was
a constant sufferer from acute stomach
trouble. I had all the manifold symp
toms of acute dyspepsia, and at times
other troubles were present In compli
cation—I did not know what It was to
enjoy a meal. No matter how cureful
I might be as to the quality, quantity
and preparation of my food, distress
always followed eating. I was despon
dent and blue. Almost to the point of
Insanity at times, and would have
been glad to die. Often and often I
could not sleep. Sympathetic heart
trouble set in and time and again I
was obliged to call a doctor In the night
to relieve sudden attacks of suffoca
tion which would come on without a
moment's warning.
My troubles Increased as time wore
on and I spent large sums In doctor
bills, being compelled to have medical
attendants almost constantly. During
1892 and 1893, It was Impossible for me
to retain food, and water brashes
plagued me. 1 was reduced to a skele
ton. A consultation of physkdanH was
unable to determine Just what did all
me. The doctors gave us as their opin
ion that the probable trouble was ul
ceration of the coats of the stomach
and held out no hope of recovery. One
doctor said, "All I can do to relievo
your suffering Is by the use of opium.
About this time a friend of mine,
Mrs. Bymantha Smith of Glldden,
Iowa, told me about the case of Mrs.
Thurston of Oxford Junction, Iowa.
This lady said she had been afflicted
much the same as I had. She had con
sulted local physicians without relief,
and had gone to Davenport for treat
ment. Giving up all hope of recovery,
she was persuaded by a friend to take
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, The result
was almost magical.
I was led to try them from her ex
perience, and before many months I
felt better than I had for a dozen
years. I am now almost free from
trouble, and If through some error of
diet I feel badly, this splendid remedy
sets me right again. I have regained
my strength and am once more In my
usual flesh. I sleep well and can eat
without distress. I have no doubt that
I owe my recovery to Dr. Williams’
Pink Fills.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain all
the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They are for sale by
all druggists, or may be had by mall
$2.50)—by addressing Dr.
six boxes for $2.50.

Rehearsing Fits.
Crossing City Hall park one day a
New York Sun reporter saw an Italian
boy suddenly fall fiat on his back on
the pavement. Several companions in
stantly knelt by his side, some slap
ping the palms of his hands, some rub
bing his face. They were all laughing
very much, and after a minute or two
of this work the boy rose and in two or
three more minutes repeated the game,
this time all being serious, especially
so when they noticed that the same
man was watching them.
The boys who were doing the slap
ping and rubbing looked out from un
der their tangled hair and grinned at
the reporter, a little at first, and then
became serious again.
“What is the game?" the reporter
asked a newsboy who was also watch
ing.
“Dem kids is pract'sin a fake," he
replied.
“A fake?”
“Sure, having fits t’ work guys. Any
old guy takes pity on a kid wid de fits
