ACCIDENTAL DEATHS.
Caused hY CareIessness.

The majority of people die sooner than
they should. Evidence Of this fact is grow
ing daily. Waring says; "Disease is not
consequence of life; it is due to unnatural
conditions of living-neglect, abuse, want"
DR.. Stephen Smith, on the same subject,
Man is born to health and long life; dis
ease is unnatural, death, except from old
age, is accidental, and both are preventable
by human agencies" This is almost invari-
ably true of death resulting from heart dis
ease. Careless over-exertion, Incorporate
use of tea, coffee, tobacco, alcoholic or other
stimulants are generally the causes of this
difficulty, and indifference to its progress re-
suits in sudden death, or long sickness end
ing in death. By the newspapers it can be
seen that many prominent and hundreds Of
persons in private life die from heart dis
ease every day.
If you have any of the following symp-
toms: shortness of breath, palpitation, irreg-
ular pulse, fainting and smothering spells,
pain in shoulder side, or arm, swollen
ankles, ETC., begin treatment Immediately for
heart disease. lfyou delay, the consequences
may be serious.
For over 20 years Dr. Franklin Miles,
the eminent specialist, has made profound
study of heart disease, its causes and cure,
and many of the leading discoveries in that
direction are due to him. His New Heart
Cure is absolutely the only reliable remedy
for the cure of heart disease, as is proved
by thousands of testimonials from grateful
persons who have used it.
James A. Pain, editor of the Cory, Pa Leader,
states after an apparent recovery from three
months of Ia grippe, fell on the street uncon-
scious from heart disease. In one month fron
that time was unable to walk across my room,
and my pulse beat from So to 116 times minute.
then used Dr. Miles New Heart Cure, and at
once became stronger After using six bottles

WEBB MoNALL, the we'll known
sixth district politician, appeared be-
fore the executive council the other
day. in the interest of F. NJ. Lockard,
of Norton, who was a candidate for a
place on the state board Of railroad
commissioners. McNall created quite
a sensation by making speech in
which he sarcasticslly insinuated that
the members OF the council had their

pears the words, "Roman Punch,

meyer had no small part in the re-
cent victory, and he had right to
talk. 1T looks to me very much
said he, like it would look to man
up a tree, At the present stage OF the
banquet it lookp very much like a
democratic banquet. (Laughter.) One

You don't care much about tbs but

Now, when matters get in such
shape that 1t is impossible to tell from
he appearance of banquet, the diff
ference between democratic and a
republican blow out, it causes all true
friends of prohibition to ask, what is
he difference between the two old
parties in Kansas on the prohibition

Coming over from Colby last week

observed was about 80x100 feet with
walls possibly four feet in height
and sloping from eight feet in thick
ness at the bottom to three feet at the
top To make the wall, an excavation
about foot in depth had been made.
The box through which the water is

The net exports Of gold from the

to gold exports but would insure very

a wRITER well says: 1.-THE repub-
lican party is certainly the party to
attract and hold young men, for it is
the party of progress, of patriotism
and enlightened government. Dem
ocracy has nothing to offer American
youth except a record Of shame and
disaster, and a collection of unsound
and dangerous doctrines with respect
to finance, the tariff and our foreign
relations. On every great question
Of governmental policy the demo-
cratic party is hopelessly un-Ameri
can. Its power is based on ignor-
ance and systematic fraud at the bal
lot box. Its foreign policy is a
scheme of cowardice and surrender.
In tariff Legislation it consistently
favors the South at the expense of
the North, enriches British manufac-
turers by impoverishing American
workmen."

Jumped From the Train.

mitted suicide at Tifin, Ohio Sunday
afternoon by jumping from the train

over a hundred dollars, and a note in
which she requested that part of the
money be used in payment for
twenty masses to be said for the re-
pose of her soul, and the remainder
sent to her mother. She asserted
also that "as God was her witness,
she was not guilty of the crime she
had committed"
Her baggage was checked to

Artist Turned Counterfciter,

1t has just been made public that
George Morrison, one of the count
erfelters OF two-cent postage stamps,
was arrested in the Cincinnati post
office Tuesday on a decoy letter.
He had sent the Chicago Tribune
from Cincinnati an advertisement
offering to sell $125 worth of stamps
for 500, directing answers to be
sent to George Morrison, Monterey,
Mexico. The Tribune turned over
the letter to the United States au-
thorities. The officers are %reticent
hoping thereby to capture Morrison's
accomplices.
e. o. Jones, a former newspaper
artist, arrested last night by the Uni
ted States secret service, on the
charge of oounterfeiting two-cent
stamps, confessed to-day to Capt.
Porter that he and Morrison are one
and the same. Jones has been in
Canada a month, returning yesterday.
The secret men traced him to Gin.
cinnati, where he wrote to a Chicago
newspaper that stamps were for sale
at Monterey, Mo.

Blaine for president in 1894, and dcri-
sively bestowed en- him the title of
"Plumed Knight" has recently expert
enced great trouble, in delivering his
lectures ON the Bible. Mr., Ingcrsoll is
known as an authority on theological
matters, but owing to the fact he would
take no part in the worlds fair ~festivi-

National Republican League.

Secretary A. B. Humphrey of the
National League of republican clubs
is in Chicago in conference with the
committee in charge Of the arrange
ments for the coming convention of
the league in Cleveland in June. It
has been decided to introduced an
innovation at the convention in the
shape Of n open session, at which
free discussion of all political ques-
tlons will be permitted. This, it is
believed, will furnish an opportunity
for a lively fight over the silver ques-
ton.
Information has been received to
the effect that a special train will be
sent from Chicago. A boatload Of
republicans will also come from Du-
luth. Denver will send a trainload
of silver boomers. There will also
be a special train from Pittsburg,
n from Iowa with the celebrated
Iowa State band, another from Louis
vile, Nashville and Cincinnati, n
from Philadelphia and one from In
diana, and still another from New
York. A special boat will also be
run from Buffalo.
The invitations to address the con-
vention have already been accepted
by ex-senator Warner Miller of
New York, Hon. J. S. Clarkson of
Iowa, Mrs. j. Ellen Foster of Wash
ington, Gov. Mckinley, Hon. John
NJ. Thurston Of Nebraska, ex-Gov.
Foraker of Ohio, Hon. A. B. Cum
Minis, of Des Moines and Senator
}. Z. Burrows of Michigan. 1t is
also expected Senators Allison, VOL
colt and Teller and Chauncy NJ. De-
pew will accept the Invitations which
have been sent to them. Congress-

side at the banquet to be given the

silver at Is to |, without reference to
any concurrent action by any other

representatives to county mass meet
ings, to be held on Thursday, July
%, for electing representatives to

ton to the people of Texas was also
issued, asking their earnest support
