SHE HAS EATEN -FOUR DOGS.

An indianapolis Woman Pleased With
the New Consumption Cure.
Mrs. Lizzie NJ. Jones, of Indianapolis,
claims to have been benefited by using the
dog meat treatment for consumption. Since
the middle of December she has eaten
nothing but dog meat, and three days after
beginning the treatme nt noticed a change
in her condition for the better. She says
she has almost recovered. II have eaten
four dogs" she told a reporter. 1.-THE first

good. / tell you, sir, the shepherd is the
dog. The meat and oil are both far su-
perior to other dogs. l have had d great
dsal of trouble in getting my dogs. One of
the Nswfound!ands which I had killed
came near causing arrest, and after all it
was not a very good dog. | advertised fol-
dogs. and the only answer l got was from
a man who wanted $25 apiece for his dogs.

To Prove His wiro's Devotion to Him He

For aono time William Wohl and hi,
wife, of Sacramento, CAL, have not been
on tho most ainic8bles totm He frequently
threatened to do her bodily harm, and
spoke of his great desire 10 commit some
bloody doed. Ono morning at the break
fast table Wohl took exception to q remark
passed by his wife and instantly srose from
his seat. He fastened into another room
and returned Immediately with a small
bottle marked poison. Taking mp posi-
ton near his wife. he unoorked the bottle.
and. aftoe aaying Rood-by to his better
half, swallowed tho contents.
He then sank to the floor and went
through the paroxysms Of q man suffering
from poisoning. His wife, fearing that
Wohl was about to. die, hastily summoned
a physician. When the doctor appeared
Wohl was to all appearances dead, Foam
medical gentleman made an examination
the would-be suicides mouth. With q lit
tie saliva Wohl managed to create soap
suds, which he evidently thought would
cause his wife to believe he had taken
poison. After realizing that Wohl was
imposing on his wife the doctor proceeded
to stick pms in the the tenderest portion OF
his anatomy. Wohl stood the painful or-
GRAFTON for 4 few seconds, and then jumped
to his feet.
He WIS indignant at the doctor and or
dered him to leave the house. Before GO
ing, however, the physician picked ny the
bottle, the contents Of which Wohl had
swallowed. He took it to his office and dis
covered that it contained pure water.
Wohl stated that he had pretended TO CON-
NIT suicide to ascertain if his wife loved
him sufficiently to attempt to save his life.
He believes now that shs is very fon of
him, especially since the bottle labeled
.'Poison'' played such 4 prominent part in
bringing about the reconciliation.

THE Wealth En-.
TnE pol.ICY.

Chairman Springer, of the ways and
means committee of the house OF rep
resentatives, has succeeded in getting a
majority of hat committee to concur in
his scheme for piecemeal legislation
against the Mckinley bill, and the plan
therefore becomes the policy OF the
party IN congress-. SO far as the commit
tee can determine that policy. The
method Of attack is a matter about
which the true friends of tariff reform
may differ. without putting thu cause IN
jeopardy. The late Sunset Cox always
wanted to make the fight by means of a
series of bills, such as MI. Springer has
introduced, rather than by an omnibus
bill. Other equally good friends Of
tariff reform have believed the Springer
plan the wiser, and the fact that mem
beers Of the ways and means committee
like Wilson, of West Virginia, and Nc
Millin have agreed to support Mr..
Springer, although themselves favor
ing a general bill, is assurance
to the party at large that the
policy of the present congress is to be
mo step backward" as Speaker Crisp
declared upon taking the chair.
The defeat Of Mr.. Mills for the speak
ership, Mr.. Crisp's subsequent refusal to
appoint him at the head of ways and
means, followed by MI, Springer's IN
nouncement that there would be
no general tariff bill created
a widespread impression that
the leaders Of the party were less
courageous than the rank and file and
were faltering on the eve OF the great
struggle. That impression has not been
wholly removed, but Mr.. Springer's ex.
PLANTATION Of his plan Of campaign, in the
North American Review for February,
shows that his policy is broader in it's
scope than many persons may have sup
posed it to be from his first brief state
ment of it. The various separate bills
that will be brought forward, he says,
"will remove the most glazing %inequal-
tiles Of our tariff laws and bring i'm.
mediate relief to those most entitled to
consideration. They will DO especially
aimed at monopolies and other combina-
lions to limit production and Cypress
labor. = x 4 * Everything should
be done, and will be done, to bring
about a thorough and complete revision
of our tariff laws at the earliest time
practicable. q * x * Opposition tt
the Objectionable features of this (tht
Mckinley measure, coupled with a de
mand for genuine tariff reform, SHOULD
be the paramorent issue in the presi
dental contest; and upon that issue, the
democratic party is already assured o
success, not only in the election of
president. but of a congress democratic
in both branches"
That is good. sound democratic polio,
and if Mr.. Springer lives up to it he vii
dispel distrust, restore confidence an
bring TO his support u n enthusiastic an
united parity, whether he smites thu
evils Of Mckinleyism one at a time o.
all at once.

THIS BIZ SHOULD BE PASSED.

OF all departments Of inc government
the pension office has been most prolific
of scandals. With the government
spending an annual pension ]appropria-
ton of nearly Sl50.G00,OOO, vast
opportunities were offered for
fraud, and were taken advantage
of. President Cleveland checked
this to a marked degree but it cropped
out again when Corporal Tanner was
made commissioners Of pensions. Dur
ing his brief administration there was a
series OF open frauds. 4 bill introduced
by Representative Newberry showsa new
and interesting feature Of the reckless
way in which pensions have been
granted. His measure proposes to cut
off tho pensioners living in foreign
countries from the list. It is ostlm ated
that there are over 5000 beneticiaries
in this class Of which 1900 live in one
province in Canada. There ara several
thousand living in tho kindom Of Wor-
tenburg Germany and others are
scattered all over the siobe. They arc
mostly men who came here solely fol

crosby of the United States govern

ing allegiance to the flag under which
they fought from mercenary purposes

could live high on the liberal pension:
granted by this government.
There ought not to be doubt as to thu
policy of passing such a bill us is con
templated. The government shout,

Timely Thoughts.

Fourth of July orations should not be
empty Qualifications of America, but
rather expositions of American freedom,
said the late Rev. Howard Crosby,
which will equally resist the tyranny Of
the government and the tyranny Of the
mob, which insists on law and order as
the only security Of personal liberty and
which will crush the anarchist as quick
ly as the despot. The great public should
have these fundamental doctrines ex-
pounded to them on our great national
holiday, and the people should so
thoroughly understand them that any
attempt by man or church to mar the
symmetry of our liberties would be met
by an effectual and crushing indignar
tion. We do not sufficiently appreciate
our enormous advantages, and hence we
are careless regarding their conserva-
ton. Were these advantages lost the
world would be set back many CEN
turies. Let us therefore encourage true
American sentiment as the antidote to
the poison introduced among us from
foreign sources, and let our Fourth OF
July be consecrated to this elevation OF
the American standard.

'it would be ever so kind of you, and
while you are busy I'll just run to the
house for my shawl. 1t is growing

Bah looks on for a minute, then goes
off across the grass, little song on her
lips. 1t is not too late yet for his COM

more hope

chorus of boys howls of delight indi-

no hurry to go down to join the group
under the trees again. He is so tiresome

Two shrill piping voices come up to

She thinks your sister means to marry

"Humph. well she needn't. then. The
idea--the very idea"
Dolly Is getting excited She talks
very fast and not very low. Something
makes Bah shiver In her thin gown, but
she only draws her white shawl closer
around her and stands very still. Right
