/ $ T.- RHEUMATIC i BODY RACKED WITH PAIN N* •ther bodily suffrrin; is equal to that produced by the pain of Rhet>- StAtism. When the poisons and acids, which cause this disease, become in* trenched in the blood there is hardly any part of the body that is not af fected. The muscles become sore and drawn, the nerves twitch and sting, j the joints inflame and swell, the bones ache, every movement is one of PASSENGERS ON BOARD SHIP agony, and the entire body is racked with pain. Rheumatism is brought on by indigestion, stomach troubles, torpid Liver, weak Kidneys and a general inactive state of the system. The refuse matter instead of passing off through nature’s avenues is left to sour and form uric acid, and other acrid poisons which are absorbed into the blood. Rheumatism does not affect all alike.

Others suffer more seriously, and are never free from pain. The uric acid and other irritating substances find lodge ment in the muscles and joints and as these deposits increase the mus cles become stiff and the joints locked and immovable. It matters not in what form the disease may be the cause is always the same—a sour, acid condition of the blood. This vital stream has lost its purity and freshness, and instead of nourish ing and feeding the different parts with health-giving properties, it ’fills them with the acids and salts of this { >ainful and far-reaching disease. The cold and dampness of Winter always ntensify the pains of Rheumatism, and the sufferer to get relief from the agony, rubs the affected parts with liniments, oils, lotions, etc., or uses plasters and other home remedies. These are desirable because they give temporary ease and comfort but have no effect on the real trouble which is in the blood and beyond the reach of such treatment. S. S.

All kinds of Job Work don# office prices commensurate with high grade work Try ns. at The Ledgei neatly and at Victoria, II. (J ; , Jan. 24.—The steam er Valencia, Captain Johnson, of the Pacific Coast Steamship company, with 94 passengers on board and a crew ot (JO was wrecked to the eastward ot Cape Beale on the Vancouver island coast in the early morning of Tues day with a heavy loss of life, greater than that of any other disaster that has occurred near here since the terri ble loss of life following the collision of the ship Oipheus with the steamer Pacific wiien enroute from Victoria to Portland. . The survivors who have reached Cape Beale, the boatswain and five seamen, sent to secure assistance in one ot the steamer’s boats, report that at least 50 persons were drowned alongside the steamer when boats loaded with women and children smashed against the vessel when low ered. Persons were huddled on the saloon deck of the steamer which was then partly submerged, with the in rolling sea washing over the main deck. A southeast gale was blowing with the wind whistling through the cord age of the wrecked vessel at a veloc ity of over 40 miles an hour, and a high sea was beating against the hull, sending spume high over it and huge seas pounded on the deck threatening to break up the wreck. Unless the several steamers which have been hurried to the assistance of the wrecked vessel can arrive in Ume to save those who remain on the wreck it is doubtful if any of them will reach shore, for a landing in such a place is extremely difficult, U at all possible. The Valencia sailed from San Fran cisco on her second trip to Victoria, replacing the recently disabled steam er City of Puebla, at 11 a. m. on Sat urday. This was the only claar day and from Saturday evening Captain Johnson and his officers had to navi gate by means of dead reckoning. Nearing the entrance to the straits the weather was very thick and Jhe officers thought they were In the vicin ity of the Umatilla Reef lightship near Cape Flattery, which has a good fog signal on board. Having had no ob servations and unable to make out their position in the thick weather prevailing, soundings were taken, ■bowing thirty fathoms. Immediately after the men with the lead lines reported thirty fathoms of water, the steamer struck agalnat the reefs off shore with a shock which awoke all on board. The steamer did not run up on the reef, and was at once backed away. As she went into deep water she began to fill, the im pact with the rock having greatly damaged the steamer. The engineers whistled to the bridge that water was pouring up over the engine room plates and they were unable to stand by their engines so fast did the water rise in the engine room. They and the firemen were driven on deck, but before they were driven out in answer to excited jing- lings from the bridge, they gave what ■peed was possible and Captain John son turned the vessel again toward the beach. As the Valencia waa found ering as a result of her impact with the rocks, the only possible chance to save any of those on board was to put the vessel ashore again, what hope, scant though it was, of landing those on board on the rocky coast. Be fore she struck again on the rocks, the engineers, firemen and all below had been driven above by the inrush- lug waters, and the seas soon had be gun to roll over the main deck. Water was over the deck when the boats were being lowered, the lights being extinguished by the flooding of the en gine roof before the work was com menced. The loss ot life was awful when the boats were lowered. Two boats filled with women and children were sent against the side of the steamer, smashed and completely wrecked, all those In the boat being ■wept Into the sea and drowned. Rescue Work Going On.

AUSTIN SICK AND FRIGHTENED. Alleged Assailant of Quillian Is Not Well. Galm’iviUe, Ga., Jan. 24.—Judge J. J. Klmsey, who is holding Hall superi or court, has granted an order holding Rev. J. W. Austin, charged with as sault with attempt to murder Robert F. Quillian, in the Hall county jail untH such time as his hefdth and phy sical condition will warrant his remov al to Banks county, where a commit ting trial will be held. The petition was presented to Judge J. J. Klmsey by Colonel J. O. Adams, of this city, who, with Judge N. L. Hutchins and Colonel W. E. Simmons, of Lawrenceville, have been employ ed to defend Preacher Austin. The petition alleges that Austin is in wretched physical condition and that he is in mortal fear of his life if he is carried to Banks county; that there is no jail at Homer, the old one being torn down to make way for a new one, and that he Is unable to stand the drive through the country to the Banks county seat. Austin refuses absolutely to diecuss the case with any one, seve his attor neys, and he pretends not to recog nize any of his old friends and former church members of upper Hall. His attorneys declare Austin will be freed at the committing trial, which, they state, will soon be held at Homer, in Banks cmffity. FROZEN PIPE CAUSES DEATH.
