BEST WAY TO INSURE VICTORY
IN 90.
A Plan That Deserves the Support of
Every Reformer in the
Country.

A great national campaign cannot be
carried on without money The Populists
are poor and even heroism cannot draw
from them sufficient donations to carry
on the needed work of education. In
order to raise 81, 900, 900 for the organiza-
ton of the reform hosts the PEOPLES
SUPPLY co. has been formed with head
quarters in Baltimore. Cleora Eugenia
Cooke, the I7-year-old Populist orator
who, according to the Review of Reviews
for December, helped cause the defeat of
Arthur P German during the last CAM
paign in Maryland, is now starting on a
tour over the country, appealing to the
women for support. The Peoples Supply
Co. manufactures soap, starch, baking
powder. shoe backing and cigars. The
trade mark OF the Peoples Supply Co. is
the picture of Maryland's Joan of Arc,
Miss Cooke, and where there is trade
union label this is also added. Now, all
the profits on all the goods with the Joan
of Arc trade mark go to the building up
Of the Peoples party. 1t is the method
by means of which 81, 900, 900 can be rails
ed in two years. You can help the cause
IN no better or more effective way than
by telling your grocer chat you will &C
cept no other brands. If two good GUS
toners in any locality in America insist
OH their grocer keeping these brands he
will do so. When once he has them on
hand he will sell to others. The articles
being the best of their kind on the mar
ket, those who buy once will continue to
buy and from the efforts of two good men
a steady income will flow into the Popu-
list treasury.
All these goods are also wrapped in
gems of Populist literature, and every
wrapper is an educator and an agitstor.
Ifyour grocer can't get our goods from
his wholesaler, tell him that card to the
Peoples Supply Co., Baltimore, will
reach us, and we will sell him goods
direct.
Our accounts are audited every three
months by committee of our national
leaders, headed by Congressman M. w.
Howard, of Alabama.
We want good agents and organizers in
every locality of the United States.

in waves like suicides and murders. An

The northbound passenger train on that

but not in time to bring the train to Il stop.
Fortunately the obstacle had been badly
placed and was knocked OFF by the pilot
Of the engine.
1t was found to he IA CeCar post, large
enough to stretch clear across the track.
The wreckers had evicenuy counted on
the engine mounting the rost instead of
knocking it OFF.

Mrs. Hopkins, who made an attempt to
end her life Sunday afternoon, by Saping
from the AQueduct Bridge, again caused
some excitement yesterday afternoon.

attempt at suicide is not known. but her
actions yesterday afternoon, at the Aque-
duct Bridge. locked very much that way
shortly after 2 O'Clock she put in an ap-
pearance at the Georgetown entrance to
the bridge and was accompanied by her
son, John. ..
Both had been drinking. and as soon
as they came in sight they attracted the
attention OF those in the immediate neigh
borhood, and a policeman was called.
The two began to act in a suspicious
manner, and the people watched them
closely. Officer Brown, of the Seventh
precinct, was among those who kept an
eye on the mother and son, and so sus-
picious did their actions become that he
was finally compelled to drive hem
away.
They made no attempt to walk out on
the bridge. and the mother appeared to lie
trying to induce the son not to 60. She
would point out the spot where sh. had
made the attempt Sunday morning to take
her life. anG shake her head in an ominous
way. The son appeared to be anxious to
go somewhere, and 10 do something, but
the woman's will was the stronger of the
two and it prevailed.
The officer tried to find out what they
wanted. The son was drunk enough 10 Se
saucy. and what he told the policeman
was enough to convince him that they
hadn't come for any good. The officer
drove them from the place and notified
them that il he caught them there again
