MADRID, Mareli 17. The debate on the trial of Professor Ferrer, who was executed In October. 1909, opened in the Chamber of Deputies today and at tracted "unusual attention. The pro posal to discuss this trial was made by ' Republicans and accepted by - the government many months ago. The Republican press says the revival of the Ferrer case means the end po litically of Senor Maura, who was Pre mier at the time, and of his colleagues. Senor Sorano opened the debate and said none of the facts charged against Ferrer constituted the crime of re bellion.' The government was advised to that effect, he said, by the local mili tary authorities. Ferrer's trial and execution were directly due to politi cal causes, for which the Conservative government and party were answerable. He pointed out that the court-martial before which Professor Ferrer was tried had only four hours in which to examine the papers in the case, which took up 1200 pages of printed matter.

Miss Hunt came to Moscow Irom Ar gyle, Fla, arriving here March 14. She was arrested the next day by Sheriff Brown for loitering about the Universi ty of Idaho campus, and her mysterious actions brought a charge of insanity against her. - Judge warren rruitr, ner attorney, said: At first she told me her name was Williston. and that she was looking for work and had a university education, which was apparent from her actions and language.

E0R SCIATIC RHEUMATISM Try tlie Treatment That Cured This Pronounced Case in ' Minneapolis After Other Treatments Failed. Sciatica is neuralgia of the sciatic nerve. Ita origin is generally rheu matic and is the directs result of taking cold. For this reason tlie disease is commonly known as "sciatic rheuma tism." That Dr. 'Williams' Pink Pills cure this disease is dhown by numerous cases like that of Mrs. J. B. Hansen, ot No. 221 Twentieth Ave., So., Minnea polis, Minn. She eaysl "A few years ago following an attack of the grip I was taken with sciatica. For six years I suffered untold agony and thought it would be a blessing to me if I could only die. There were sharp, shooting pains in both of my limbs and my shou'Jrs and arms were affected also but not bo severely. If I moved about quickly, the pain would catch me so that I had to scream. My limbs would swell until I could hardly walk. I also bad a terrible dull pain in my back which was often unbear able. I was confined to bed for a week or two at a time. While suffering from . the sciatica I was further run-down by weakness common to women of mv acre. "I received so little relief from the doctor's medicine that I became dis couraged and quit it. My husband urged me to try Dr. "Williams' Pink ' Pills as he had read how they had cur ed cases like mine. I felt better after I had taken the pills a short time but took several boxes unt il I was certain I was cured. I give this statement of my cure thinking that other "eufferers may N helped as I was through using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." The tonic treatment with Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills succeeds where other treatments fail because it is based on tlie sound medical principle that the health of the nerves depends on pure, red blood. Every person who is interested in the home treatment of nervous disorders should send for a new edition of our booklet entitled, "Diseases of the Ner vous Svstem, Their Nature, Svmptoms and Treatment." Address the 'Dr. Wil liams Medicine Co. , Schenectady, N. Y. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are for sale at all druggists, or will be mailed to any address, postpaid, on receipt of price, 60 cents per box; eix boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Comnanr.
