Rheumatism is due to an excess of uric acid in the blood, brought about by
indigestion, poor bowel action, weak kidneys, and a general sluggish condition
w tn system. The circulation deposits this irritating poison in the different
muscles, nerves, tissues and joints of the body, and soon the painful symptoms
of Rheumatism are produced. The pains at first may be wandering and slight:
but as the blood becomes more fully saturated with the uric acid poison, ths
flisease grows worse and after awhile gets to be chronic. The slight, wander
ing pains now become sharp and cutting at the least exposure to dampness'
or night air, or any constitutional irregularity, the bones ache, the muscles
are not as free in action as before, and where the acid poison is allowed to
remain in the blood the Joints often become so clogged with corrosive sub

Saloon Men of Small Burg Resort to
Intimidation In Fight.
Pendleton, Ore., Feb. 12. The sa

ing intimidation as a means to sup
press the agitation against them In
that small city. Last night a com
mittee of 12 called on C. S. Telllson,
who Is employed In Thomas Jacques

stop his agitation against them. He
refused. They then called on Tol
llson's employer and demanded that
he be discharged. This was also re
fused. The tactics now being followed
In Pilot Rock are the same attempted
by Pendleton gamblers several years
ago, when the agitation against the
tinhorns was at its height, and a
prominent young , man of this city
employed In a local hardware store
was compelled to resign nis position
to avoid a boycott on his employer. . .
