The following possesses an interest to the
Journal and its readers, bccausc the casa
is of great value from a medical point of view,
ami further because it is sworn to and its
truth absolutely proven. The case described
Is that of the daughter Of l.. l.. Barber Of
Edcerton, Kan, who being duly sworn on
oath deposes and says:
During the spring of the current year,
1928, my daughter Berthe, aged 10 years, be.
came afflicted with nervous disease which
grew upon her to such an extent that i. Sc.
riously interfered with her studies. and
aroused the gravest fears that it would de.
velop into st. Nitus' dance. NV daughter
became SO nervous that she would drop her
knife aud fork while eating, and would at
times be seized with nervous twiichings
which excited the alarm of myself and wife.
About this time my wife read in news.

1t is needless to say that was both sur.

change brought about by the first box of the
pills. She is a new girl, and all the symp-

Williams Pink Pills have certainly wrought

say nothing too good in their favor. But

would not have thought of being able to do

however, it ought to investigate

LETIN Of its own knowledge has no
charges to make against Captain
Smith, but. as the testimony that
aas been published about him is
contradictory, this paper is of
opinion that it is the duty of the
Government to strictly investigate
che matter. No official should be
retained in place if there is
suspicion Of crookedness attached
D. him. Mr.. Johnson is reported to
have said, since the captains
denial was published, that he had

The latest news concerning
bicycles on the Coast is to the
effect that wheels are becom-
ing more popular than ever and
that the trade in wheels
is developing to an enormous
extent.
Los Angeles wheelmen are
having trouble with their
pneumatic tires, as some evilly
disposed person is scattering
tackS in the city streets, but
few tackS more or less will not
make much difference on Ho-
nolulu streets, for they are 50
full of holes into which the
taCkS would naturally drift that
the wheels would bounce over
them, holes and all. Every
body is using a bicycle, and
the Monarch and Tribune are
the wheels having the largest
sales.
Bicycles are even coming
into use at funerals, Tor we
read that in a Wisconsin village
recently a funeral procession
was very largely made up of
men and women on bicycles,
the deceased having been a
member of a bicycle club. 1t
may seen a little odd at first
to 60 to a funeral on a bicycle,
especially in boomers of the
colors generally worn, but the
time is coming in which the
ladies will have appropriate
boomers. The Monarch La
dies Wheel is the proper one
for professions of all kinds;
and not to have one is to get
left in the rear.
An abSent-minded Attleboro
(MaSS.) man left his bicycle in
front of the poStofflce in that
town recently and walked
home. The next morning he
looked in vain for it in his
barn, finally remembered where
he had left it, and, going there,
found it in the same spot where
he had left it. The people of
that town must have been
equally as honest as those of
Honolulu, and business must
have been about as dull as it was
here when the Board of Health
put an embargo on business of
all kinds and nearly stopped
bicycle traffic.
But. times are better now
and we expect to sell about 500
wheels between now and
Christmas. We have a large
lot of Monarch and Tribune
wheels on hand, racers, ladies
and Children'S wheels and a
complete assortment to suit
all sizes and conditions of men.
We shall receive by the bark
S. N. Castle a fresh shipment
of Monarch and Tribune
wheels, bicycle lamps and
fittings of all kinds, as we'll as
a large consignment by the
Australia on Monday. Call
and see us after getting prices
elsewhere.

What folly to say that, if DR..

FROM GEORGE NEWTON.

EDITORS AG1rAToR: The recent election
has been benefit in one way, at least: 1t has
aroused the people who are interested in true
reform all over the country. 1t has set them to
thinking seriously.
What must be done?
1 am glad to see that our Populist brethren
are all deeply interested in pushing on. All
seem to be deeply interested in doing something
for the downtrodden all over the land. 1t is,
indeed, high time that something was being
done. hope and trust that all of these reform
parties-reform organizations of all descriptions
may soon lay aside all of their little hobbies
and take up few of the principle things that
need reforming, then 60 ahead in one solid body
and shout together, work together and vote to-
gether. Then, and only then will we ever be
victorious.
Our party has great reason to rejoice over the
pains we made in many states. The party made
a marvellous gain in this state (Iowa) in the
late election. In this county, year ago, we
had about two hundred votes, and in the last
election we had 45o. The people are thinking,
and lots of them will act awful loud in go.
Just let the Populist party stick firmly to its
principles; never dicker or trade with the old
parties, and, above all things, work for success
and the right, and victory will be ours in the
near future. But, if we strike hands with our
enemies, we will be sure to go down as we de-
serve. think our party has learned this in the
past, to some extent, and will steer clear in the
future.
Hoping and trusting that we may all push
forward to final success in the future, will
close. Why don't more of the readers of the
good, true AG1rAToR express your views thro'
its columns? Let us hear from more of you,
brothers. GEO. c. NEWTON.

WHAT is the matter with getting right down
to bottom principles and demonetizing both
gold and silver, and have paper money con-
trolled by the government, and have done with
the whole robber crew Of usurers at one fell
swoop2-Oklahoma States.
Because such of the robber crew as Cleve-
land, Sherman, Hill, Hoar, Wilson, -Brice and
the remainder are in position to thwart all ef-
forts for the improvement of our financial laws,
and are kept in their positions by men too ig-
norant and prejudiced to cast their votes ntelli-
gently, Educate the people away from partisan
lines, and then the robbers and their schemes
will disappear together.
