A SLAVE FROM BOYHOOD

From The Red Wing, Mimi, Republican.
Il am now twenty-four years old" said
Edwin Swanson, of White Rock, Goodhue
county, Minnesota, to a Republican repre-
sentative, land as you can see, l am not
very large of stature. When l was eleven
years old L became afflicted with sick
ness which baffied the skill and knowledge
of the physician. L was not taken sud
denly i'll, but on the contrary 1 can hardly
state the exact time when it began. The
first symptoms were pains IN my back and
restless nights. The disease did not
trouble me much at first, but it seemed to
nave settled in my body TO stay and my
bitter experience during the last thirteen
years proved that to be the case. i was, OF
course, child and never dreamed of the
suffering in store for me. / complained to
my parents and they concluded that in
time / would outgrow my trouble, but
when they heard me groaning during my
sleep they became thoroughly alarmed.
l grew rapidly worse and was soon unable
TO move about and finally became confined
continually to my BID. The best doctors
that could be had We're consulted, but did
nothing for me. L tired various kinds OF
extensively advertised patent medicines
with but the same result
For twelve long years l was thus suf-
ferer in constant agony without respite,
abcesseS formed my body in rapid sue
cession and the world indeed looked very
dark TO me. About this time when all
hope was gone and nothing seemed left
but to resign myself to my most bitter
fate my attention was called to DIR. VIII
liamss Pink Pills for Pale People. Like a
drowning man srasping at straw. in
sheer desperation l concluded TO make one
more attempt-nOt TO regain my health II
dare not to hope so mUchD, but if possible
to ease my pain.
81 bought box of the pills and they
seemed to do me good. 1 felt encouraged
and continued their use. After taking six
boxes 1 was up and able 70 walk around
the house. l have not felt 50 well for
thirteen years during the past year
only one year have 1 taken DR.. Williams's
Pink Pills and l am able now 10 do chores
and attend to light duties.
do l hesitate to let you publish what
l have said? No Why should /? 1t is
other sufferers know my experience. 1t
may help those whose cup OF misery IS as
full today mine was in the past"

Charged with Conspiracy.
Columbia, S. c., June 5.-This morning
another interesting legal move was made
i'm the matter of the dispensary law State
Commissioner MiXson and LIQUOR Consta-
BILE Beach were arrested. The proceedings
are made under the special conspiracy act
of congress which was referred to in the
pcbs case. They were arrested upon
warrant sworn out by two Leading citizens,
Meesrs. Muller ana Beck, before United
States Commissioner Reid, of Newberry.
They are charged with conspiracy to vio-
late the special interstate commerce act
of 1890 in Selling some beer belonging to
the compliments. The commissioners also
issued warrant for the search and seizure
of the connscated liquor. The prisoners
were taken Up for preliminary hearing.
Or. Pope appeared before the compliments
and asked that they be bound over for
conspiracy The assistant attorney general
told the deputy marshal to consider the
seized property in his possession for the
purposes Of this case. TIE state main
tans that the defendants cannot be he'd
criminally liable Jnder this act of con-
gress.
The hearing was concluded at the after
noon session, DR.. Pope and Judge Town
send both making lengthy speeches. the
former arguing that the commissioner had
jurisdiction and the latter denying it. Or.
Pcpe's speech was a spicy one. The COM
missioner decided that the defendants were
IN contempt of Judge Simontons order of
injunction, which he said was now the
law, and bound MiXscn over to appear
for trial at the November term OF the
United States district court here in the
sum of $1,000. making the constable's bond

SPECTATOR PLANS WAR.
10
Serious Proposal For tho Dismemberment
of Turkey.

of Turkey.
London cable says: The Spec
tator, in advocating that the best
solution of The question is military
occupation, sketches rather sensa-
tional plan Of operations through
Bosnia, which country gives the
readiest access to the heart of Turkey.
Austria, it says, could without delay
throw 100000 men into Macedonia,
who could march on to Salonica by an
undefended line. Great Britain's share
IN the work would be commanding
Salonica by the sea, and jointly with
France sending fleets through the
Dardanelles to Constantipople, while
Russia would cooperate in Armenia.
Though the carrying out of this plan
would be tantamount to the dismem-
berment of the Turkish empire. the
Spectator proceeds to say that Europe's
armament could not be better
employed than in restoring the east to
the dominion of civilization. The
work, 1t says, could be accomplished
within year, and 10000, 900 men
would be finally delivered from the
destructive horde, which, since it came
out OF Mongolia, has ever proved the
most brutal influence in the civilized
world. The article concludes with the
declaration that the achievement
would be well worth certain war, for
%. do the Ottomans justice, they are
capable of facing the whole world in
arms before submitting. But 1t is the
'nly chance. When the leading
'nlonist organ writes this, it is evident

BOOKS READ BY NEW WOMAN.
Consensus of Reports Shows a Change
In Taste.

Does the new woman" read a differ
ent class Of books from her predecessor,
the old-fashioned woman?
This is the query l gave some librart-
ans to answer, and learned in return
that the new woman does. II don't
mean to say" one replied, chat every
woman who comes in to get a book
eschews the romantic and new. but the
surprising fact is that SO many actually
ask for the deepest works on political
subjects. My assistant and myself
were at first amused, now We regard it
IS a significant movement.
The change began, I gathered from a
consensus Of reports, about three wears
ago; since then it has rapidly broadened
and deeDened. All works or. sociology
and political science are called for as
eagerly by one sex as the other. The
favorites seem to be Prof. Ely's series
on political science, All governmental
questions are carefully studied, and
anything that relates to the tariff is
popular.
ITO my mind" said an aged keeper
Vi DOOhS, ll4G american woman, as Gle
is represented in New York by her
reading, is developing in a political way
maryelously; not that it viii have any
effect in helping them to obtain suf-
frage, but such powers will make them
powers behind the throne"
Take the French woman of De StaePs
era and the English woman of to-day
they are amazingly learned in local
political meanings. I do not consider
that this reading is an evidence Of the
new woman" but rather that the
Americans do not wish to be behind
women OF other countries in their abili-
ty to compete intellectually with men
on national subjects
Yes" said another librarian, there
is no denying that women are calling
for heavy political works more every
day, but" he thoughtfully added, st

sPuRRED ON BY A VISION.
The Dream which Led cycllst to Join

the I. A. w. at Once.
The admission of one of a party q
cyclists that he did not belong to the
League Of American Wheelmen called
Iorth shower of surprised comment
ne mad no excuse to make for his
| remlssness saw procrastilation He
renewed 1t his duty to Join, SO as to
ala IN the cause of wheeling, but had
neglected TO sign an application sim
PLY because there was no immediate
hurry about 1t. A blank was secured
for him and he at once took the neces-
sary steps to gain membership in the
L. A. w.
fhat reminds me of my expert
ence, said one of the party. Only it
TOOK vision in the night to bring me
to the point of joining. Like our
friend here, delayed about it for no
particular reason save that it could be
attended to at one time just as well as
another. One evening started for
NeW-England on the Fall River boat,
oent on vacation trip. A friend and
mad planned to take our wheels and
hs1a talked about riding on them part
Oh the way to the resort for which we
were bound. AT almost the last mo-
ment, however, we had decided not to
BRING our machines, because the roads
which we would have to travel were
extremely bad.
Well we started on the boat and in
que time went to our stateroom. My
steep was a bit troubled and toward
morning | had dream which was so
hfelike that it was really vision. My
cream was that l had brought my
Wheel, having checked it through to
Fan River. On arriving there hand
ed In my check and received a bicycle |
which somehow I did not notice close
~. l mounted, but had not ridden more |
than third Of a mile when the wheel |
collapsed completely I cannot i'm
agine worse smashup. 1t was the
case OF the one-hoss shay over again;
frame, rims, spokes, pedal cranks,
handle-bar, saddle, everything simply
melted apart, as if they had been
glued with mucilage.
1t struck me that must have some
other wheel than my beautiful 95 mod
Fl, SO / bent over to see if the bicycle
really bore the number OF my own.
Then I discovered that the pieces ~
ng on the ground were those of a
rusty, clumsy old machine Of anti
luated make. became indignant at
his. III go right to the consul OF the
:. A. W. I said to myself, and have
lin go with me to the railway station
where | received that wheel. If l. a
stranger, went alone might get scant
atisfaction'
Then it struck me that I had never
oined the L. A. W., although l had
months ago decided to do so. So /
would have to fight my own battle, and
erhaps, so it seemed to me, lost my
100 wheel simply because / had ne
lected to pay 50 to belong to the L. A.
z. went to the baggage-room-an
here my dream ended. OF course, it
idn't matter what happened after .
nat, the object of the vision being to
onvince me of the need of my joining
le L. A. ". speedily. On returning
} New York / did so, and, of course,
N extremely glad ! did, !
Cigars had been finished by this :
me and so a start was made on the :
sturn trip. r
