C, saj-s: "I s u ff e r e 1 for years with my Lack. It was so bad that I could not walk any distance nor even ride in easy buKgy. I do not believe I could have raised ten B- cobtojt pounds of freight from the ground, the pain was so severe. This was my condition when I began using Doan's Kidney Pills. They quickly relieved me and now I am never troubled as I was. My Lack is strong and I can walk or ride a long distance and feel Just as strong as I did twenty-five years ago. I think so much of Doan's Kidney Pills that I have given a supply of the remedy to some of my neighbors and they have also found good results.

A little school girl's definition of a railroad ticket is worth relating. In a 'composition written in one of the Boston primaries on "A Railway .Tour ney," the little one says, among other things: "You have got to get a tirket. which is a piece of paper, and you give it to a man who cuts a hole in it and lets you pass through."

In Dev onshire, for instance, the country folk still make "cramp rings" out of old coffin handles; and bracelets forged out of nails on which suicides have hanged themselves are worn by gouty people, and deemed singularly effica cious.

People with inflamed and aching joints, or painful muscles ; people who shuffle about with the aid of a cane or a crutch and cry, Oh ! at every slight jar. are constantly askiug,"Wkat is the best thing for rheumatism ?" To attempt to cure rheumatism by ex ternal applications is a foolish waste of time. The seat of the disease is in the blood, and while the sufferer is rubbing lotions and grease on the skin the poison iu the circulation is increasing. Delays iu adopting a sensible treatment are dangerous because rheumatism may at nay moment reach the heart autl prove fatal." The only safe course for rheumatic sufferers is to get the best possible blood remedy nt once. Mr. Stephenson's experience with this obstinate and distressing affliction is that of hundreds. He says : "About a year ago I was attacked by severe rheumatic pains iu my left shoulder. The pains were worse in wet weather, and at these periods caused mo the greatest suffering. I tried a number of treatments and ointments, but they failed to alleviate the pains." Then he realized that the cause must be deeper and the paiu ouly a surface in dication. He adds: " I had heard Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People recommended as a cure for rheumatism, and when I found that I was getting no relief from applications, I made up my mind that I would try them. Before the first box was gone I noticed that the pains were becoming less frequent, and that they were not so severe as before. After the second Iwx jai Ih'ji used up I was entirely free from discomfort, and I have had no truces of rheumatism since." The change in treatment proved by almost immediate results that Mr. Thomas Stephenson, who lives at No.llo Greenwood street, Springfield, Mass., had fouud the true liieuns for the purifi cation and enrichment of his blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are without doubt the best of all blood remedies. They effect genuine ntid lasting cures iu rheumatism. They do not merely deaden the ache, but thev expel the jxtison from the blood. These pills arc bold by all druggists. First Artificial Teeth.

Under the Austrian poor law every man 60 years old is entitled to a pen sion equal to one-third the amount per day which he has earned during his working days. milloa Dollar Graaa. When the John A. Salzer Seed Co., of La Crosse Wis., introduced this remark able grass three years ago, little did they; dream it would be the most talked of grass in America, the biggest, quick, hay pro ducer on earth, but this has come to pass. Agricultural Editors wrote about it, Agr. College Professors lectured about it, Agr. Institute Orators talked about it, while in the farm home by the quiet fire side, in the corner grocery, in the village post-office, at the creamer-, at the depot, in fact wherever fanners gathered, Salzer's Billion Dollar Grass, that marvelous grass, good for 5 to 11 tons hay per acre ana lots of pasture besides, is always a theme worthy of the funner's voice. Then comes Bromus Inermis, than which there is no better grass or better perma nent hav producer on earth. Grows wher ever soil is found. Then the farmer talks about Salzer's Teosinte, which produces 100 stocks from one kernel of seed, 11 ft. high, in 100 days, rich in nutrition and greedily eaten by cattle, hogs, etc., and is good for 80 tons of green food per acre. Victoria Rape, the luxuriant food for hogs and sheep, which can be pi own at 25c a ton. and Speltz at 20c a bu., both great food for sheep, hogs and cattle, also come in for their share in the discussion.

CHICAGO Since the reorganization of the" Vanderbilt roads east of Chi cago, a short time ago, several changes have been made in the operating de jartment. The most important is the promotion of Mr. C. F. Daly from the position of Assistant General Passen ger Agent of the Lake Shore, to that of Passenger Traffic manager of the Lake Shore, Michigan Central and Lake Erie and Western. The general passenger agents of these lines retain their positions. Mr. Daly came to Chicago three ears ago from the Lake Erie & West ern, where he had been general pas senger agent. His promotion to so re sponsible a position is a deserved tri bute to Mr. Daly's ability as a rail road operator. Some further changes in the Vanderbilt lines are expected in the near future but have not yet been announced. TERMS OF PEACE They Are Said t? Be Under Consider ation. LONDON A dispatch to Renter's Telegram company from St. Peters burg, confirming the Associated Press advices of February 17 and 18 from St. Petersburg to the effect that peace was under consideration, says: The question of peace has not only been formally discussed, but the conditions on which Russia is prepared to make peace have practically been agreed upon. These are as follows: Corea to be placed under Japanese suzerainty. Port Arthur and the Liaotung pen insula to be ceded to Japan. The Eastern Chinese railroad to be placed under neutral international administration. Manchuria as far north as Harbin to be restored as an integral part of the Chinese empire. The difficulty lies in settling the question of indemnity upon which it is known that Japan insists, but it is thought that this difficulty is not in superable. The most trustworthy opinion at St. Petersburg is that in view of the in ternal situation and the enormous difficulty in carrying on the war. peace on the terms outlined will be concluded within a comparatively short time if the indemnity question can be arranged, but it is quite pos sible that Russia will risk another battle before a decision is reached. MOSCOW The assassin of Grand Duke Sergius maintains an attitude of profound indifference. When pressed to reply to questions he declared that all the efforts of the authorities would have no result. Before his victim was laid under earth, he said, other victims would be found. Regarding his motives, the assassin said he only acted in the interests of an oppressed people. He considered the deed was an act of duty. The grand dukes had for years violated every canon of ordinary decency and ruined the country while exploiting the weak will of the emperor for their ' own end. DIDNT CHANGE IT A DOLLAR. House Passes River and Harbor Ap propriation Bill. WASHINGTON Without a dollar being added or subtracted, the river and harbor appropriation bill passed the house on Thursday after the ses sion had run well into the evening. The total amount carried by the bill is $17,234,657. Throughout the day the progress of the bill was impeded by the offering of amendments, but only those presented by the commit tee were adopted, although on a point of order the house struck out the com mittee provision giving the supervisor of harbors at New York authority to make regulations regarding the towing of vessels. The most important com mittee amendment agreed to was one giving the supervisor of harbors at New York increased police power and providing for the protection of oyster beds against deposits from dredgings. The military academy appropriation bill was sent to conference after agreeing to the senate amendment au thorizing the president to appoint Sen ator Joseph Hawley (Conn.) as briga dier general on the retired list of the army, and with a further provision conferring similar authority in the case of General Peter J. Osterhaus. Japs Will Build Vessels. TOKIO The statement cabled to the United States from London that Japan has ordered four battleships in England is incorrect. It is probable, unless circumstances dictate other wise, that Japan will in the future construct all her vessels at home. She has equipped extensive yards, shops and gun and armor founderies and there is a strong and growing senti ment in the navy and among the peo ple generally in favor of home con struction exclusively. The yards are j already engaged. Threaten Main Defense. MUKDEN Fighting continues in front and west of Tie Pass. On the extreme east the Japanese have tak en the outlying position and they now threaten the ma'n cefense. Owing to their formidable attack it is thought that the Japanese artillerymen are veterans from Port Arthur, command ed by General Nogi. Emperor Nicholas of Russia clears the situation with a plain announce ment that he believes the proposed land congress to be a necessity. BJBBJSBBBBBHBrMS' -JW'fc.
