NATIONAL CONVENTION
OF the W c r. q. st Chicago-Miss
Willard's Annual q ddIess.

CHICAGO. Nov. 8
The national convention of Women,
Christian Temperance Union opened here to
day. The session was taken up with bust
ness matters. Tonight Frances + willard
president of the union delivered her annual
address.
She recommended the convention to ask
Congress to pass an amendment to the inter.
state commerce Law prohibiting the bringing
of alcoholic liquors into prohibition States
work for the Blair educational bill and the
Blair prohibitory amendment to tine national
constitution; urge de passage of the law
forbidding the manufActure Of cigarettes and
prohibiting smoking in waiting rooms and
post Offices.
Miss Willard said that the thanks of the
convention were due President Harrison for
directing that no liquor be s0ld on the gov
eminent reservation At Fort Washington and
to Secreta Wanamaker for his pronounced
declarations in favor Of prohibition and Sab
bath observance. She continued "Our pro-
tests should be sent Vice President Morton
for permitting 4 saloon under his new hotel"
In conclusion Miss Willard paid an eloquent
tribute to the memory Of Mrs. Hayes, wife
Of the ex-President.
Third Party Organizers Greatly Dis
tufbed.
Before the addresses were made this after
noon by Gen. Neal Dow and others, Mrs.
Caroline B. Buell.. corresponding secretary
of the society. read ar extensive review of
its works. The sjorty of the convention
are strongly in favor of an alliance with the
third party and cannot conceal their anxiety
as to the attitude Of the minority who believe
in non-partisan action
II the Iowa union withdraws the breach
will be irreparable. Last year the national
officers claimed 10000 local unions,
having membership of 100000
Today the official reports showed 1000
local unions having a membership Of l02, 1903.
Such startling figures disturb the equsnimity.
of the organization and this evident dissatis-
faction has made a strong impression.

DAKOTA VERSUS OKLAHOMA.

Thousands of people have waited for tho
the opening to settlement of that portion of
the Indian Territory known as Oklahoma,
only to be disappointed. There are in
Oklahoma less than $4,000 quarter sections
OF land to be occupied, and more than 20,
GOO people have been waiting for months on
the border for the opportunity to cross the
line and take possession. The whole of the
land will have been occupied within forty
eight hours of the date set for the opening
of that portion of the territory, consequent
y thousands of intending settlers will have
TO seek elsewhere for homes.
The two new states of South and North
Dakota will reap benefit from this general
exodus to the West. No fairer country
than Dakota exists Hundreds of thou
sands of acres of the best Government land
are still open for free settlement in Dakota.
Cities, towns and villages furnish a near
and ready market for the products of the
country: Railways innumerable traverse
Dakota in all directions and provide une-
qualled transportation facilities. Schools
and churches abound everywhere. Dakota
Is q new country no longer. The climate is
excellent The soil is highly productive.
The population is mostly Of the best class
Of American citizens who have gone thither
from the older Eastern, Middle and Western
States. Every inducement exists for the
farmer and mechanic to make a new home
at triting cost, while the capitalist can So
cure greater and quicker returns for finan-
c1al Investments In Dakota than in any
os2ler state of the Union.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Rail
way Co, which has lines of its own in both
South and North Dakota, has just issued an
illustrated pamphlet entitled "P1A1N FACTS
ABOUT DAKOTA" containing numerous let
we'll worth reading. as they show the results
OF each writer's personal experience in the
Northwest, and convey a great deal of val
liable and reliable information which will
be Of benefit for those seeking new homes

THE REASON WHY.

We wondered why
OF al the merry Inaidens Of his station,
OF all the lovely lassies Of his set,
He'd choose with what seemed poor discrimina-
nondescript between blonde and brunette.
In fact, simple guy
Not half as sweet as other girls he'd met
We wondered why.
We wondered why
For no himself was handsome rich and blooded.
Aristocrat from Uranium to toe,
His every hour with compliments was flooded.
There lived no man the flair ones hattered So
Yet with this guy,
This commonplace young damsel, he would
We wondered why.
We wondered why
He took her to the opera, balls and crushes,
To-everywhere, in fact, his world was found
In vain for him girls blushed their prettiest
bushes
And threw their fetching coquetries around.
Only this guy
Seemed to suit him to the very ground
We wondered why.
We wondered why
And acting on the impulse put the query,
At which he laughed sort Of lazy laugh,
And said, as II the whole thing made him weary,
"She never bothers me. The girl you char
And call guy
Is not the trouble others are-not hail.
We wondered why.
We wondered why
And listened spell-bound, to his explanations.
This lady you find fault WITH" then said he,
"Whom escort to social recreations.

And so when
Escort her home I'm home myself, you Sec

A Common-Sense Letter,
E.EcHlUUo.


To THE EDITOR: 1 see that newspaper
articles are again making their appearance
calling attention to matters pertaining to
health as well as to the means whereby dis
ease may be removed and good health pre-
served I am thereby reminded that have
received from time to time, pamphlet publ
cations issued BY the well-known firm of H.
H.Warner's & Co., which dwell upon the his
tory and growth of kidney diseases; show
ing how such is the cause of consumption,
heart, brain and nervous disorders, which
can only be successfully treated by remov-
ing the primary disease from the kidneys.
At the same time care is taken to remind
the reader that Warmers Safe Cure is the
only means whereby the physician or the in
dividual can successfully prevent and cure
this class of disease
Whilst have personal cause to feel CRATE
full to Warmers Safe Cure, for the benefit
which derived from it when suffering from
kidney troubles last spring, can not see,
since that remedy is already so well known
in every household, why the parties inter-
ested in its manufacture should continue to
expend money in calling attention to what
the public already knows so we'll. I am
aware, Mr.. Editor, that the members Of the
medical profession are seldom disposed to
give due credit to proprietary medicines,
but public confidence is likely to be even
more shaken in those learned gentlemen
since the startling disclosures in the Robin
son poisoning cases were made in Somer-
vile, Mass.
Here it was discovered, through the ef-
forts OF an insurance company, that eight
cases of death from arsenical poisoning had
occurred-seven of them in one family, and
within five years and the other that of a
relative-wherein the true cause of death
had not been even suspected by prominent
physicians who were in attendance, but who
treated the cases for other causes, and
finally, when death occurred, issued certif-
Gates for such causes as pneumonia, typhoid
fever, meningitis, etc.
After such an evidence of the utter in
competency of those physicians who were
regarded as experts in their profession, /
can not conceive why it will be longer nee
essary for further advertising to be done in
behalf of Warmers Safe Cure, since deem
the Somerville disclosure to be the best pos
sible endorsement of the good sense mani
tested by those who take matters of health
in their own hands and use a remedy which
experience has shown to be fully adapted
for the purposes intended, instead Of trust
irg themselves in experimental hands.

FonrY MINUTES. READING.
The Variety and Extent 81 In6ornstion
That Nay BE Easily Gained.

The Variety and Extent Of InAornstien
s. That Nay BE Easily GAINED.
The question of what and whom to
read, and more than all, how to read.
Is most important to every one. There
are no exceptions to this among those
who are old enough to read any thing;
they must oil read something If they
want to keep above ground with live
people; the question is one Of choice.
The habit of reading is worth a great
deal; that of thoughtful reading is worth
more. BY 1t one gains information,
discipline, power; and it is power We
are all struggling for. There are thou
sands of young men and women aim
lessly frittering away golden opportu-
mites. Some are doing it unconscious
ly, never realizing seriously the i'm
portance of thoughtful course of read
ing, and 80 their earlier years wasted,
they will find their later years poverty
stricken in mind and morals. One 8
earlier years are seedtime for harvests
Of rich and precious enjoyment in the
autumn of life.
A writer in the Troy Times makes
a strong appeal to the thousands
of young mon and women to take
up some judicious course of read
ing, and thus enlarge their sphere
of life, and the power and enjoyment
Of living. He recommends the Chau-
tauqua course of reading as having been
tested over eight years, and says: 10
day there are over one hundred thou
sand persons scattered all over the
world pursuing this with profit and de-
light The school at Chautauqua Lake
is college in ones own house. 1t is
for busy people who left school years
ago. and who yet desire to pursue some
systematic course of instruction to keep
abreast OF the rapid progress in all de-
partments of knowledge. it's for high
school and college graduates and for
people who never entered either; for
merchants, mechanics, appren-
tees, clerks. farmer boys, shop
girls, mothers, busy house-keepers, for
people OF leisure and wealth, who do
not know what to do with their time;
for poor people who struggle hard to
make ends meet; for everybody who
may have hunger of heart and mind for
something better than they now have.
The Chautauqua enterprise is pro-
test against the idea that scholarship is
the monopoly of the professional
classes. Education is for every body
who hungers and has pluck. Chautau-
qua protests against the idea that youth
is the only time that an education can
be acquired. The man and woman OF
forty can get an education"
Nearly every one can so economic
time as to give forty minutes a day on
an average to systematic course of
reading. Many one who pretends to
be busy persoe wastes mN:e than that
amcunt daily. And many read thSt

does not count much becaEse it IS at
