AWFUL PAINS RHEUMATISM A Blood Trouble That Vlnol Cures. We do not want to frighten any of onr friends who suffer from rheumatism, but we do think it our duty to remind them of the fact that there is a great deal of ftflnfTAr fvinnpn.tjul with tflta Hvtnlita Avon in cases that are mild. Rheumatism, as most sufferers from it know, Is due to an excess of uric acid in the blood. This acid is a deadly poison. It settles in various joints, producing inflammation and irritation that gives rise to the most excruciating agony.

So much for the sufferine that comes from the disease, but do not forget that this same poison circulating through the blood is very apt to, sooner or later, reacu your nearu wnen this takes plaoe death ensues instantly. Our Yinol will in manv instances en tirely cure this disease. It does it bv purifying the blood, br tonlner un the entire system, by elvinestremrth to those organs of the body whose duty it is to expei existing poisons, and by replacing in the blood life riving properties in Dlaca of the deadly uric acid that has been expelled. These properties are obtained for the blood by enabling the stomach to get for Itself the elements it needs from tne rood eaten. This letter which we Mint below.

from Mr. Robert J. Walker, of Easton, Ind. "I do not know what I shonld fa without your Vino). It has done mum good in my family than anything else.

I nave oeen a suuerer Irom rheumatism. Mr wife for vears with astonish tmniita We had no doctor, but took Vinol. The rheumatic pains left me and my wife was troubled no more. My wife says she will never be without Vinol in the saves us big doctor's bills." Our own personal knowledge nf what Vinol Is composed ot and how It acta. causes us to guarantee it.

We will return to anyone who buys Vinol of us, the price of the remedv. If it found unsatisfactory. J. H. HOUCK i Per Gont.

Several Ordinances Passed by Council Last Night Lehigh Valley Company Worked Into Paying Its Paving Assessment Culvert Blocked. Select Council met in adjourned session last evening, and although the meeting was a lengthy one, not much business was transacted. Nearly all of the time was taken up by the reading of the minutes of the past tltree months, which had been allowed to accumulate. After they had been approved Chairman tangan called attention to the fact that there were several bills read in favor of various constables of the city for serving subpoenas in cases against against the city. He asked the city solicitor, who was present, wheth er or not this work could be done by the members of the police force and the city saved that much money every year.

City Solicitor O'Brien replied that it could and that he would prefer to have the policemen serve the papers If the council would only give orders to that effect. After debating the ques tion lor some time, it was decided, on motion of Mr. Buss, that hereafter the police serve any and all papers per talning to the city. Consideration of ordinances relating to damage claims was then made the order of business, and several were jumped through on the double quick. Several hundred dollars were disposed of in this manner.

Ordinances provid ing for the amicable settlement of the claims of John T. Ford, Lewis Cohen, Mathew McGnire. Sarah Riley and Paul Morelack were passed on third and final reading. Street Commissioner Carroll report ed that the culvert in the rear of the city hall was filled up with sand, and as this is the property of the Lehigh Valley company, the city clerk was instructed to notify the officials of the company to have it cleaned out at once, before any damage resulted from the condition in which it is at present. City Solicitor O'Brien made a state ment to council in regard to his having settled with the Lehigh Valley company for Its paving assessment.

asking that council endorse his ac tion. The company, he owed the city the sum of $1,023 for paving on North Main street, and the city owed the company $90.89 for a sewer it had put in. When he wrote the company about its paving assessment, it offered to pay the sum due less the amount of me cicnn win, 1'iuviuiiig a um rui the paving, the officials not knowing whether they had contracted for It or not. Mr. O'Brien stated that he had re plied that the contract was in exist ence, and accepted the proposition made.

He received a check for the sum and the two bills were receipted. On motion ol Mr. Thompson, the action of the solicitor was approved, inasmuch ns the city would never have received a cent had the money horn sued for. America's Greatest Railroad.

He Had Been Unconscious Over Twenty four Hours Why the Family Be lieve There Are Suspicious Ele ments in Connection With Demise, Owen Rjady. a well known man about town, died this morning at five o'clock under circumstances which his family regard as very suspicious and they have asked the coroner to hold an investigation for the purpose of deter mining tlie cause of death. At the house on Vine street, where he lived with his parents, it was said this morning that he had been in his usual health until Tuesday night. Pre vious to that time he had been drink ing some, but was all over the effects of it at that time. He wanted to see certain doctor, according to the alle gations of his father, and sent for him to come to the house.

Tuesday evening the doctor called, and before leaving injected something into Rady's arm This was between 10 and 11 o'clock at nlghtj The members of the family state that the deceased fell asleep shortly afterwards and slept until about 4 o'clock yesterday morning when he awoke and asked for a drink of coffee, which was given him. After drinking the coffee he lapsed into unconsciousness, In which condition he remained until, this morning, when he passed away in that state. Members of the family notified Deputy Coroner Evans at once, and he proceeded to the house and viewed the remains, empaneling a jury. He forbade the undertakers using embalming fluid on the corpse until the coroner could have an opportunity of performing a post mortem examination. The deceased was born in this city 44 years ago and had always resided here.

Besides his parents, he is sur vived by a brother. Michael Jtady, and a sister, Mrs. Thomas Dailey. The fu neral will take place Saturday morning at 9.30 o'clock, with services in St, John's church. To Cure a Cold in One Day, Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.

A practical hint for the use of local Instructor may be found In an order Issued by Superintendent Kendall, of the Indianapolis public schools, in etructing the teachers of the eighth grades and of the high schools to use President Roosevelt's message as text for teaching current history, civ ics and English; He says that the mes sage furnishes valuable material for lectures on Immigration, forestry re. serve, isthmian canal, Monroe doc trine, and civil service. However, he cautions the teachers against injudi cious personal comment and discus sion upon controverted political ques tions. The Indianapolis superintend ent's suggestion and remarks are of general application. Students in the higher grades of the public school should, if properly directed, gain much valuable Information from the Presl dent's message, and it's a good thing to cultivate in them an interest in pub lie deliverances of this character.
