A Voluntary Statement.
Mrs. Ella R. Nolan, of 209 State Btreet
Auburn, N. Y., suys:
For the past seven years I have been a
great sufferer from "heuniatlsm and rheu
matic gout. My an . les, feel, wrists and
hands wero Bwollen to an enormous xlz',
and I was unable to bend a joint of them.
I was compelled to crawl on my hands nnd
knees. A greut part of the time I was
confined to my bed, unable to help my
self in the least. I had the best medical
attendance, but obtained only temporary
relief. One day a gentleman calling upon
some business, seeing my helpless condi
tlon, said:
"If you wil gft some of Dr. Potter'n
Rheumatic Pills, I think they will cure
you."
I did not have much faith, but 1 was In
such a helpless condition, could seurcoly
move about, could not closes my hands at
all, got up and down stairs sideways, tint
I thought I would try the pills. Accord
ingly, I got two boxes of Dr. Potter's
Rheumatic Pills, and after taking them
three days, the pain all left mo nnd has
never returned even In the dnmppst
weather. Of course I was encouraged and
kept on taking them, and am entirely
cured. I have now taken six boxen, and
can do nil my own housework without tho
least pain. The swelling is all gone, can
movo my Joints naturally and feel as well
as ever I did. I cannot say too much In
praise of Dr. Potter's Rheumatic Pills
and will gladly sec any one who will call
at my house, 'M State street, and verify
the truth of this statement. 1 heartily
recommend Dr. Potter's Rheumatic Pills
to all who suffer from rheumatism.
They arc a radical cure for rheumatism

NEWS OF THEJOuTH SIDE
Lieutenant Zang Kill l'ay Attention
to Tramps at Cinder Dump.
SUSPECTED 0lv Bl'RGLXUIES
Patrick Casey Throws a Lighted Lamp at
Ills Wife and She Has Him An
rested-Royal Arcanum Elected
Officers for Year.
There is every reason to believe that
the burglaries lately attempted on this
side, one or two of which were partially
successful, have been the work of the
gang of hobos that make their head-
quarters at the cinder dump In the
upper end of the Twelfth ward. These
wandering denizens have become so
bold that not a day goes by which does
not report that a committee of them
has made requests at the buck doors
of the houses, and their requests are
made in a very peremptory manner.
Lieutenant Zang went to their quarters
a few weeks ago anil became convinced
that an organized gang of them in
tended to make the warm Burround-
ngs of the cinder dump their station
for the coming winter.
The same evening with a pijuad of
olllcers he visited the place and they
were rewarded with the capture of four
professional tramps. For a few days
the depredations in parts of the South
Skle ceased, but It has been learned
that another gung has taken the place
of those lately arrested, nnd the new
comers are to all appearances more
vicious than any that has yet paid the
lace for a visit. The police are on the
lookout for them and expect to make
a haul either tonight or tomorrow
night, unless the tramps have taken
warning and moved.
.More of Casey's Troubles.
Patrick Suarrowpolnt Casey slept
last night In the Alder street lock-up
und Maria May Glllnrd Casey, his wife.
will appear agulnst him at police head
quarters this morning. The charge
agulnst him Is a very serious one, that
of throwing a lighted kerosene lamp ut
his wife. When he flung the lamp ut
hertherehappenedtobe another woman
In the house, a neighbor who lives
across the street, and was attracted by
Mrs. Casey's screams and the furious
and drunken ravings of Casey. She
was standing close to Casey when he
caught hold of the lamp and she
grabbed him by the hand, which caused
him to lose his aim, and the lamp went
to smash against the wall. It set fire
to the wood work and a little difficulty
was experienced in quenching the
blaze.
At this stage of the game Mrs. Casey
sent a messenger alter Pntrolmun l!o
lund and the tumultuous husband had
taken to his heels before the officer ar
rived. About 8 o'clock last evening
Patrolman Roland observed his pris
oner going toward the house, and he
waited until he got inside, then lie
pounced down upon him and had him
under arrest before the bewildered
Casey could persuade himself about
what was the matter.
Koyal Arcanum Meets Officers.
At a meotinc held last night in Frue-
han's hall an election of officers took

MAY HUII.nTv BREWERY.
Sheriff I'alicy and Others Considering tho
Matter.
The Carbondale papers during the.
week contained articles Betting forth
that Sheriff John J. Fahey was nbout
to embark In the ale brewing business.
Last night the sheriff stated that hi
company with a few other gentlemen
he, a few days ago, Inspected suitable
sites for a brewery at Carbondale.
The advisability of forming a stock
company to erect an ale brewery at
Carbondale had been considered, he
said, but as yet nothing deflnte had
been done. It will take him several
months to wind up the business of the
sheriff's office, nnd until that Is done
he will have no time to devote to any
enterprise.
