Rheumatism
A Home Cure Given by One
‘ Who Had It
In the spring of 1893 I was at-
tacked by Muscular and Inflamma-
tory Rheumatism. I suffered as
only those who have it know, for
over three years. I tried remedy
after remedy, and doctor after doc-
tor, but such relief as I received
was only temporary. Finally, 1
found a remedy that cured me corn-
pletely, and it has never returned.
I have given it to a number who
were terribly afflicted and even
bedridden with Rheumatism, and it
effected a cure in every case.
I want every sufferer from any
form of rheumatic trouble to try
this marvelous healing power.
Don’t send a cent; simply mail
your name and address and I will
send it free to try. After you have
used it and it has proven itself to
be that long-looked-for means of
curing your rheumatism, you may
send the price of it, one dollar, but
understand, I do not want your
money unless you are perfectly
satisfied to send it. Isn’t that fair.
Why suffer any longer when posi-
tive relief is thus offered you free?
Don’t delay. Write today.

PIANOS AND ORGANS.
Between the mouth of the Brazos
and the San Bernard the intercoastal
-canal has many snags and bad pieces
of timber and driftwood, which were
washed in by the storm of Sept. 14 and
succeeding high tides, according to
Maj.’ R. C. Smead, assistant United
States district engineer, who returned
last night from a five-day inspection
of the canal and the government prop-
erty and projects along its route. Maj.
Smead is preparing a report today
covering his observations and looking
into the feasibility of immediate re-
pairs. The canal, he says, is navigable
only for boats of very light draft.
“I went as far as Port Aransas,” said
Maj. Smead, “and there was able to
assist some of the needy storm suf-
ferers with supplies I had carried from
Galveston in the Colonel. Most of the
lot was needed, however, for our own
men, who had been subsisting on al-
most nothing. 1 fortunately met with
the tug Rotarian and was able to assist
her in delivering supplies to the people
of the coast,
“When I went down I found the
* water running off the country. Mata-
gorda’s waterfront 1 found swept clean,
as well as that of Fort O’Connor. A
number of houses had been destroyed
at both places. Conditions at Port
Aransas and Aransas Pass are already
well known. I understand that certain
ranchmen gave one of the banks in-
structions to issue the sum of $20 to
every storm sufferer in Port O’Connor.
“The four intercoastal canal bridges
have been washed from their founda-
tions and broken up on the banks.
Many beacons are gone, this resulting
largely from the heavy currents as the
water ran back off the land. In the
section between the Brazos and San
Bernard all the sand hills are gone.
And I believe that fully two-thirds of
the sand hills have disappeared from
the entire coast.
“There appears to have been no ma-
terial damage to the jetties at Free-
port or Aransas. The government
wharf is destroyed at Aransas and our
tanks washed away, but our office re-
mains, only slightly damaged, it hav-
ing rested on piles. We calculated that
there had been 15 feet of water at the
office. At the terminal station it was
figured that the water had stood 14
feet.”

ment of the huge holdup had been
made.
Informed by a “stool pigeon” that
the Phillips brothers were involved in
the saloon robbery, which occurred
later in the day of the holdup at Whit-
ing, the officers at first thought they
had stumbled on a big payroll or bank
robbery when one found $20,000 in the
elder Phillips’ pocket.
Questioning developed, according to
the officers, details of the entire pro-
gram.
A fourth man, said to be the owner
of a small farm near Chicago, was be-
ing sought early today. Police say
they believe most of the missing money
was buried on his property. He is said
to have been at Whiting with the Phil-
lips brothers.
Wejda is a clerk in the registry, di-
vision. Some months ago he noticed
that every Thursday a registered pack-
age consigned to the Bank of Whiting
from the federal reserve bank here,
went through the Chicago postoffice,
according to a confession, officers say
they obtained from him.
One day, the alleged confession con-
tinued, Wejda observed that a torn
package contained money and, taking
the Phillips brothers into his confi-
dence, planned the robbery.
The Phillips brothers, according to
statements police say they made, took
a third man and stole an automobile
and went to Whiting.
It is believed a dummy package simi-
lar to one of the two containing the
money had been prepared by Wejda.
This was taken to Whiting and after
the currency had been delvered at the
railroad station to be sent to the bank
was substiuted, and the money ob-
tained.

Chicago, Sept. 23.—Three men, one of
them, John Wejda, a clerk in the Chica-
go postoffice, who is said to have plan-
ned the robbery, were arrested here
early today charged with stealing $240,
000 of a shipment of $415,000 last
Thursday from the federal reserve bank
here to the Standard Oil Company of
Indiana, at Whiting, Ind. Of the stolen
funds, $98,620 was recovered. The re-
mainder, according to an alleged con-
fession of two of the men, was aban-
doned at the outskirts of Chicago, when
the automobile in which they were re-,
turning from Whiting broke down.
“A piece of police luck” is pointed
to as responsible for the arrest of the
men. Chicago city detectives unearth-
ed the postal robbery when two of the
men, Leo and Walter Phillips, brothers,
24 and 20 years old respectively, were
arrested in connection with the robbery
of a saloon in which approximately
$500 was obtained.
Prior to the arrests, no announce-
