C M F Proves Startling Success.

Guaranteed Absolutely As To Results. The problem of ridding the system completely of uric acid deposits which cause rheumatism has been solved as staled by many chronic sufferers who havw used It, by the novel remedy called IVM-F. perfected after 30 years of exhaustive tests.. Its unique action is one of the foatines which most attracts the atteu-

Hon of tho sufferer using It. Unlike

ny other treatment ot its kind known,

It, produces results or "signals" by

which the patient hns been able to

jelearly foretell the complete erudica tlon of tho disease, I IVM-F has been remarkably effec

uvo in every form or rheumatism, a

feature which Is extremely unusual.

C. W. Boson, M. D., one of the most

'prominent physicians In Oklahoma,

known for his success in treating rheu snattsm, says: "The esses for this test were select

d from the various chronic forms

commonly known as incurables, and all

forms of the disease-have yielded to tho D-M-F treatment. Convinced that with D-M-F there are no incurable

forma of the disease, I am now ready to stake my professional reputation on

my ability to cure all forms of rheu mat ism with this treatment." The best news of all for the rheu

Katie Is that D-M-F Is guaranteed as

t results.

D-M-F is singularly free from any

epiates or dangerous drugs of any doclptton. and Is easily assimilated by the weakest stomach. Full explanations of the wonderful ctlon of' D-M-F on rheumatism, lumbago, gout and neuralgia, are packed with e very bottle. ttcgin taking a hot t el of D-M-F today, and jou may safely drop every other rheumatism treatment you may now be taking, ft Uet' D-M-F at your druggist s at $1.00 a bottle. If you are satisfied with it, as you w ill be, get six bottles for $5.00, and get rid of your affliction. If your druggist cannot supply you. it will be sent on receipt of price by the D-M-F Medicine Co., 2715 Lincoln Ave., Chicago, III. . The first bottle will convince every tifferer. r "D-M-F" Is recommended and sold in Richmond by A. G. Luken and Co.

Chicago, Feb. i. A conference waa held in Chicago which may presage

a higher price for shoes, particularly '

of the cheaper grades. It was between the conference committee of tho Tanners' National association and the shoemakers organization. Recently at a meeting in New York the tanners announced that the sale terms which had existed for many years whereby shoemakers got 5 per cent off on four month payments, would be discontinued and a discount of 2 per cent, for the same period would prevail. The shoemakers say this would cut their profits nearly in half on the promise that the profit on a cheap shoe was only 6 to 8 cents a pair, and they sought a conference to re-establish the old rate. They were met by the tanners and "packers-tanners' " representatives, but the' leather makers refused to re-establish the old rate. Notices were sent out yesterday to

shoemakers to refuse to buy leather from those who would not sell at the

old rate.

Curtailment of output will be the

NrBt weapon used by the shoemakers to force the old rate back into use, said an official of the conference. After that, if it fail, an application for federal action will be sought, it is Bald, under the Sherman anti-trust act. The last and most formidable

weapon the shoemakers claim to have Is that of tariff free leather.

Another meeting will be held in

New York in a week, at which a last

effort will be made by the shoemakers to have the old discount rate restored.

Announcement was made today of a gift of 500 music rolls to the Morris-son-Heeves library for general circulation in the same manner as governs the books, by Clarence Gennett. a prominent resident of this city and member of the Starr Piano company. The rolls will comprise music of a high quality by the best composers of all periods, but are selected with a view to having them appeal to the tastes of all music lovers and students. About seventy rolls have been secured, and an order for 300 is soon to be rilled by a prominent publishing house. Other rolls to complete the number of the gift will be ordered by Mrs. Ada L. Hernhardt, librarian.

Owing to the fact that much time

will be required to design a system for the circulation of the music and also because the rolls will not be received for some time, the music will not be ready for distribution until about March 1. The introduction of music rolls into library circulation has never before been attempted, at least in libraries in this section, it is said, and if the experiment meets with success the plan may be followed elsewhere making Richmond the leader in a new library movement. This new feature will make the Morrisson-Reeves library one of the most unique from a standpoint of service of any in the country. It now has a circulation of lantern slides w'hich are used extensively by clubs and schools for enterainments. The purpose of Mr. Gennett's gift is to provide the opportunity for music lovers and students to secure tem!orarily music of a good quality and great variety. A card system similar to that used in the book circulation will be ar

ranged for the music rolls by Mrs. liernhardt. The system will have to be originated by her as the feature is a new venture in library work.

WAYNE "GOAT" OF SISTERJOUNTIES Two Insane Men Come Here Recently, Now County Must Care for Them.

Wheii Ora Lewis beat his wife Orlena, on August 20, 1910, over the head and shoulders with a board, the limit was reached she had been able tp withstand all kinds of abuse, she alleges, but this was too much, so she picked up her traps and taking the four children departed from the home, never to return to the man who, she alleges in her divorce complaint, filed on Thursday in the Wayne circuit court has a most violent temper and who had been in the habit of treating her as his squaw instead of his wife. lieing made the target for his fists, and being subjected to his alleged vile epithets und charges of infidelity, did not exasperate her to the extent the beating with the board, which he is alleged to have administered, did. The complainant also asks for custody of their four children, aged 9, 7, 6 and 2 years, respectively, and a nom

inal allowance with wnicn she may support the four children. She avers he is a man of some means and that it is no more than right that he should have to contribute towards their suiiport. Hoth had been married and divorced before their union. They had cihldren by their former marriages.

After one year"s suffering from a peculiar nerve disease affecting the lower part of his tody. I'eter S. Heeler, aged 61. a retired farmer, ex-county official and one of the most prominent and best known residents of Richmond, succumbed at the Rcid Memorial hospital this morning at S:43 o'clock. His affliction had baffled twenty of the most prominent doctors and nerve and bone specialists, who had been called into consultation by local physicians. Mr. Heeler had been in a very critical condition for the past few weeks. Yesterday he declined rapidly, and

death was expected at any time. All hope had beeii abandoned for his recovery.

On Tuesday physicians amputated Mr. Heeler's left leg, just above the knee, because of its having become affected with dry gangrene. It was his right leg that was most severly afflicted with the nerve disease. The operation was performed as a relief measure, and was in no way responsible for the death. Mr. Beeier's demise was caused by the increasing ravages of the disease, the nature of which at the time of his death had not been escertained. Mr. Heeler's illness became serious about a year ago, and during the last six weeks he had been confined at the Reid Memorial hospital. lie suffered intensely from pains in the lower part of the body, ascribed by physicians to a nervous disorder, but the eause, nature, or possible remedy proved entirely beyond the medical ability of local practitioners and many specialists. The case was one of the most baffling and puzzling ever known in this city. Mr. Heeler is survived by his wife, and two daughters, Mrs. Isaac Wilson and Miss Jessie Heeler, both of this city. The funeral will be held at Eikhorn. Other arrangements will be announced later. Peter S. Heeler was born In Union county about six miles north of Lib

erty, Ind., November 9, 1849. When he was eight years old he moved with his parents to a farm on the Liberty pike about three miles south of Richmond, where he spent the early part of his youth. He removed to Richmond a number of years ago, but retained the farm, dividing his time be

tween his city and country residence. Mr. Heeler was elected county commissioner and assumed the duties of the office January 1, 1S9S. He served the county in this capacity continuously for six years, retiring December 31, 190;. He proved an efficient and capable public official. Mr. Beeler was widely known throughout this community, and was held in high esteem by his hosts of friends, gained in private and public life. Although his life was known to be in jeopardy for some time, news of his death comes as a distinct shock and occasions the deepest regret among those who knew him.

(Anifrli-un News Sorvii-o'i j Washington, D. C. Feb. 9. Official j Washington is awaiting with not little j interest news of the result of the spec-j ial election in Arizona today to decide upon the ratification or rejection of the Constitution framed for the new State. If the Constitution is adopted by the people of Arizona it will be sent to Washington immediately for the approval of the President and Congress. That the matter will be a subject of some lively debates in Congress is a foregone conclusion.-

The Constitutional convention ot Arizona met at Phoenix, beginning its sessions last October. After sixty-one days of spirited debate it adoptd an instrument designated by the majority members as the most progressive ever framed and by the minority as the most socialistic. While either of these views may be exaggerated there is no denying the fact that the Arizona Constitution contains more new ideas and theories of government than even that of Oklahoma and should the State be admitted under it. it will give the opportunity to test them never

before afforded. Among the distinctive features pro-! vided in the Constitution are the ini- j tiatlve and referendum, the recall of i

all elective officers. Including the judiciary; amendment to the Constitu

tion by a majority vote of the people upon the initiative of 15 per cent of the voters; rigid corporation regulation, with a provision designed to abolish ' wild-catting"; physical valuation of railroads as a basis for rate regulation; non-partisan election of the judiciary, direct primaries, and an employers' liability provision abrogating the fellow servant doctrine. While the opponents of the Constitution in Arizona have made a warm campaign to prevent its adoption, it ia generally believed that it will be ratified by a majority of the voters at today's election. Speculation therefore centers in the fate of the measure when it reaches Washington. It is reported on what is regarded as good authority that President Taft is not likely to approve of the Constitution as it now stands and that he will insist upon the elimination of the initiative, referendum and recall and

probably some of the other provisions before he gives it his approval. The conservative element in Congress is also likely to put up a strong opposition to the Constitution. On the other hand, the progressive leaders in the senate have publicly declared their intention to fight for the approv-

j al of the Constitution, among the number being Senators La Follette of Wisconsin. Cummins, of Iowa, Clapp of j Minnesota. Dixon of Montana. Brown ; of Nebraska and Hristow of Kansas.

SPIDERS AND BUGS Are Seen by Delirium Tremens Victim.

Invisible Indians. All Indians seem to bave learned a wonderful way of walking unseeu, making themselves invisible like eertaiu spiders, which, In ease of alarm, caused, for example, by a bird alighting on the bush their webs are spread upon, immediately bounce themselves up and down ou their elastic threads so rapidly that only a blur 1s visible. The wild Indian power of escaping observation, even where there is little or no cover to hide in. was probably slowly acquired in hard bunting and fighting lessons while tryiug to approach game, take enemies by surprise or get safely away when compelled to retreat. And tbU experience transmitted through many generations seems at length to h::ve become what is vaguely called instinct. Johu Muir in Atlantic.

James Ham, who was removed from Ileid Memorial hospital ou Wednesday to the county jail, owing to the inability of attendants at the former institution to manage hi, is in a serious condition and suffering

from a severe attack of delirium tremens. Sheriff Steen is alarmed as to his condition and believes that unless signs of recovery are manifested soon the man will die, as. did Steve Wilson, a negro, who Buffered from "snakes" for twelve days and died soon after being taken to the hospital. The man has all kinds of strange hallucinations, lie imagines he sees spiders and all sorts of bugs crawling about. On last Saturday while working at the Kramer saw mill he fell over In a trance and was taken to the hospital. He became worse and so unmanageable that it was necessary to transfer him to the jail for safe keeping.

That the county Is being made "the goat" by other counties of the state is the belief of some of the county officials in regard to the care of the insane. Two mentally unbalanced men, Carl Ledbetter and William Harper, who are now In the county jail for safe keeping, were placed there within a short time after their families took up their residence here and before either of the two had time enough to establish their rights of suffrage. There is no question in the minds of Sheriff Steen or others but that the men should be in an institution for the Insane but whether the county is obligated to furnish a place for their safe keeping until they can be admitted Is a matter of dispute. It would be dangerous to allow- them to run

at large but county officials believe J

they should be confined in jails awaiting admittance to Institutions for the

insane in counties from whence they came. Attorneys have been consulted in the matter by the sheriff. Their opinion differs but the law will be investigated relative to this point. The Ledbetters came hero from some county In the western part of the state while the Harpers came from another point In the state, unknown to the authorities. However they say the two families were not here more than a fewweeks until the two men were placed in the jail for safekeeping.

(American News Service) New York, Feb. 9. Twelve persona were injured early today when a large touriug car containing two men and three women who were out on a "joy" ride collided with a wagon and then with a surface car at 8th avenue and 121st street. The crash with the wagon was the first of the accidents and two men were hurt while the occupants of the automobile who escaped without a scratch, laughed hilariously. However when the machine ran into the eight car, its illuminating gas tank exploded and narrowly missed

killing a pedestrian. Ten persons in

cluding four women who were in the car were cut by flying glass. The au-

tomobilists laughed more than ever

at this accident and were still laugh

FOUR MEALS A DAY F. ELLIS DEVOURED Although he did not work.

He was charged with beating a big board bill, this morning, in police court, and sent to jail for 15 days.

PROPERTY OWNERS EHTERJUWEST Think N. D St. Improvements Should Be Paid by City and Railroads.

Arguments were introduced in a hearing on the North D street improvement, at the board ot works this morning, by Hyram Robbins, attorney, repiesenting the remonstrating property holders, to show that the city, the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern traction company and the Pennsylvania railroad company, should assume . the entire cost of the paving, these corporations and the city being benefited the most. Robbins stated, as a reason, that

originally D street was a residence thoroughfare, but had been converted into a business street, because of

the location of the Pennsylvania and the C. & O. freight depots. He explained that the property owners were in no way responsible for the cuange. "Property holders on D street," he ob

served, "really don't want the street paved as it will decrease the value of property as residences, making a noisy and dirty thoroughfare." On the final hearing of the D street improvement, the benefits and damages may be shifted so as to place much of the benefits ou the railroad company, which, Mr. Robbins stated, would be willing to bear the cost. In this case the benefits will be taken from the property holders and charged to the company. The city will pay $2,500 on the improvement, according to a decision

reached at the Board meeting this morning. Though damages from condemnation of property and other minor expenses at present unforseen, the total cost to the city will reach about $0,000, practically one-third of the improvement cost. At the time of final hearing property owners accompanied by their attorney will appear before the Board.
