ot a near riot this afternoon when in

passing. Posing as an cx ox-nun of the
Catholic church, she was making a
speech for wonun only on the "Con
fessional." Constable Miller, who attempted to
serve the warrant, was beaten over the
head by the women present, who
crowded around him. He escaped
minus a ruined hat, broken watchchain
and the kunckles of both hands some
what bloody. The infuriated women
crowded to the stage, while the rest
of the audience stood on the chairs
and hurled epithets at the constable
and urged their sisters on to greater
deeds ot violence.
The trouble arose over the objectior
made lo tnc renting ot the auditorium
lo the woman for an attack on the
Catholic religion. After protest had
been made to Secretary Whitten
the dug, the secretary cancelled the
contract and returned the money paid
lor the use of the building to Miss
Lowery and her brother, J. I Low
cry. who acted as her manager.
Manager Lowery says that the con
tract was cancelled on the understand
ing that the Commercial club would
secure one of the churches for the
meeting, but when the time arrived
lor the meeting no church had been
.secured ana as tnc auditorium was
open, the speaker went in and started
the meeting.
While the disturbance was Groin? on
Miss Lowery disappeared, hut a half
hour later, after the constable had
gone, she put in an appearance and
continued her speech to the crowd,
which tiact remained in the building
Her manager was arrested and taken

Police Antics put in an appearance
witn a squad ot policemen, but outside
ot protecting the constab e and calm
ing the women was placed in no great
danger, aitnougn the recipient of sev
eral uncomplimentary remarks.

A CLEAR COMPLEXION

Says Dr. Edwards, a Wall-Known
Ohio Pbyn
Dr. F. M. Edwards for 17 years
treated scores of women for liver and
bowel ailments. During these years he
gave to his patients a prescription made
of a few well-known vegetable ingredi
ents mixed witn olive oil, naming them
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets, you will
know them by their olive color.
These tablets are wonder-workers on
the liver and bowels, which cause a nor
mal action, carrying off the waste and
poisonous matter in one's system.
If you have a pale face, sallow look,
dull eyes, pimples, coated tongue, head
aches, a listless, no-good feeling, all out
of sorts, inactive bowels, you take one
of Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets nightly
f a time and note the pleasing results.
lhottsands of women as well as men

Uric Acid Poisoning!
The most eminent physicians recog
nize that uric acid stored up in the
system is the cause of rheumatism,
that this uric acid poison is present in
the joints, muscles or nerves. By ex
perimenting and analysis at the In
valids' Hotel and Surgical Institute
in Buffalo, N. Y., Dr Pierce dis
covered a combination of native rem
edies that he called Anuric which
drives out the uric acid from the
system and in this way the pain,
swelling and inflammation subside.
If you are a sufferer from rheuma
tism, backache, pains here or there,
you can obtain Anuric at ary drug
store and get relief from the pains
and ills brought about by uric acid.
Swollen hands, ankles, feet are due
to a dropsical condition, often caused
by disordered kidneys. Naturally
when the kidneys are deranged the
blood is filled with poisonous uric
acid, which settles in the tissues of
the feet, ankles, wrists or back as
uratic sales; or under the eyes in
bag-like formations.
It is just as necessary to keep the
kidneys acting properly as to keep
the bowels active to rid the body of
poisons.
The very best possible way to take
care of yourself is to take a glass of
hot water before meals and an Anuric
tablet. In this way it is readily dis
solved with the food, picked up by
the blood and finally reaches the kid
neys, where it has a cleansing and
tonic effect.
Step into the drue store and ask
for a 60-cent package of Anuric, or
send Dr. Pierce 10c for trial pekg.
Anuric many .times more potent
than lithia, eliminates uric acid as
hot water melts sugar. A short trial
will convince yon. Advertisement.
