A Philosophers Opinion.

Voltaire said to beautiful young lady
with whom he was dining, "Your rivals
are the perfection of art; you are the perfec-
ton of nature" This could not have been
said if the young lady was suffering from
disease, and pain had left its signs on the
features. Women who want to keep beau
tiful, and be the perfection of nature"
should use &c Favorte Prescription - to as
sist nature when needed, to correct irregu-
larities, aid circulation and digestion, and
thereby clear up the skin, rendering it soft
and beautiful. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-,
scription is the only medicine for woman
peculiar ills, sold through druggists, and
guaranteed to give satisfaction in every

POPULISTS SHOWED UNDER

In Kansas by the Biggest Kind of Republi-
can Majorities-The Women Nindicate
their Claims to the Right of Suffrage.
KANSAS has wheeled into line with a
sweeping victory for the republicans. There
is evidently a strong change of sentiment
against the populists. In Leavenworth the
republicans made a clean sweep, the first in
thirteen years The republican majorities
at Kansas City, Topeka, Ottawa, Lawrence
and other large business centers were large
and decisive 1t was an election in which
women took the leading part. 1t was the
first election in which women had full and
free suffrage, and they exercised it as fully
and as freely as the Australian voting sys-
tenn would permit. In Kansas City and
Wichita, black and white women voted and
spent the entire day at the polls, working
for their favorite candidates.

Given Ex- Congressman Blount at Homo
Iulu-Greeted by the Strains of the Star
Spangled Banner, and by the People en-
masse.
Elk CONGRESSMAN BLoUNT, who was APP
pointed commissioner to investigate as to
the expediency of annexing the Hawaiian
Islands to the United States, arrived at Hon
olulu, March 90. When the revenue cutter
Rush was sighted business men went to
work and soon the streets and buildings
were covered with flags and bunting The
townspeople turned out en-masse and when
the Rush anchored the docks and streets
were crowded. From the deck of the
steamer Australia the band of the provn-
cial government welcomed the new arrival
with the strains of the Star Spangled Ban
ner." A delegation from the annexation
club met Mr.. Blount at the dock, accom-
panied by seventy.five Hawaiian women
carrying American and Hawaiian flags. 1t
was surprise to the natives that the COM
mission was composed Of only one man.
They had expected formidable array OF
dignitaries.

Disastrous Fires Rage in ADMINISTRATIONS
of Human Life and Great Destruction
of Property.
DISPATCHES from North Platte, Omaha,
Hutchinson and other points in Nebraska
state that prairie fires of vast magnitude
have swept over large areas in that state,
laying waste fruitful fields, cremating men,
women and children and destroying vast
amount of property. In the Platte valley
everything for distance of twenty-five
miles is in ruins, and its width reaches
from three to four miles The fire started
shortly before noon and swept everything
before it, travelling at the rate of from
thirty to fifty miles per hour Shortly after
twelve o'clock it struck the city of North
Platte, where only by almost superhuman
efforts the town was saved. Near Omaha
thousands of fertile acres have been burned
over, destroying every vestge of vegeta.

burned to death. At Topeka a woman and
three children were caught in the pillows
of flames and roasted to death. The track

The bonded warehouse of the Allen &
Bradley Distillery Company at East Louis

wbiskey, was destroyed by fire early last
Wednesday morning Most of the barrels
were exploded by the intense heat and
added fuel to the raging flames The fumes
from the burning whiskey were so strong
that the tiremen could hardly get close
enough with the hose to throw streams on
the fire. Time and again the big distillery
caught fire, but the tremen at the risk Of
their lives managed to save it. In addition

GREAT STRIKE AT CHICAGO.
Four Thousand Men Go Out-Lively Times
at the Exposition Grounds.

THE Chicago exposition encountered its
first labor trouble last Monday morning
when 4 600 men employed on the grounds

and employees on exposition work were to
be settled by arbitration The men contend

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.

The Steamer Used by the Sultan of Turkey
Founders-Sixty Lives Lost.
THE steamer used by the sultan of Turkey
in connection with the palace at CONSTANT
nople, for his own pleasure and to convey
guests and members of his household,
foundered last week. 1t is believed that
sixty persons on board at the time persisted
by drowning, and that a splendid service of
silver plate, used in the imperial dinin e
room on the steamer, went down with the
vessel. The press censors are suppressing
all details of the disaster and journals at
tempting to publish the same have had
their entire editions seized.

Parted by the Chicago Fire-They Unex-
pectedly Meet.

WHILE preaching in exchange at Andover,
Pa, on Easter Sunday, Rev. James Rod
man of New York was reunited with his
wife in a romantic manner. They had been
parted by the Chicago fire and each believed
the other dead. DIR. Rodman had progressed
about half way through his sermon in the
Andover Congregational church, when a
middle-aged woman in the congregation sud-
denly tainted He paid little attention to
the incident, and members of the church
carried the woman into the vestry. When
the service was concluded one of the women
in the congregation approached DR.. Rod
man and asked him to step into the private
study. There, from surprise and Joy, the
minister nearly followed the example of his
new-found wife in fainting. The woman
had married since their separation by the
great fire. Her second husband had died,
and the widow lived in Boston She was
visiting friends in Andover. Dr. Rodman
had never remarked. AT the time of the
fire he was injured and lay long time in
the house of friend, with brain fever
When he recovered all trace of his wife had
gone. The husband gave up commercial
life afterward and entered the ministry.

DAMAGE BY WATER.
A Supply Pipe Bursts in the Eagle Hotel
Concord, N. ii.

A Supply Pipe Bursts in the Eagle Hotel
Concord, N. ii.
AN accident occurred to the new high
pressure system of water works in Concord
last week. The branch pipe leading from a
main, and which furnished power for the
elevator in the Eagle Hotel, suddenly burst
with a loud report that greatly startled per-
sons in the immediate vicinity. The break
ing was followed by the water forcing itself
up through the concrete to considerable
height, and almost instantly flooding the
basement of the hotel, where quite an
amount of damage was done to the con-
tents. The concreting between the hotel
and the New Hampshire Bank building was
nearly all violently lifted out of position.
At the point of explosion the concrete and
earth were thrown out to the depth of five
feet. The Northern railroad yard was badly
flooded before the police could get word to
the water officials and the gates could be
closed.

last Sunday night by shooting himself
through the heart on the doorsteps of the
residence of Charles Minard, where the
wife and family of Smith were living. Ow-
ing to his incorporate habits, Smiths wife
had not lived with him for the past three

in his pocket which stated that he did not
blame his family, and that they would be

A THOUSAND macbinists, boiler makers
and blacksmiths employed in the shops of
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad

perienced men who get less than regular
skilled men, and that when the company
deems it necessary to reduce expenses,
gangs of men be not discharged or laid off,
but that the hours be reduced. The pay of
machinists, boiler makers and blacksmiths
is now 50 80 per day, and of helpers 30.
The demand is that it be increased to 1913
and $1.75 respectively. The demand was
presented to the management in writing,
and by it rejected.
