Fast Work and Fast Eating Make
Three Score Years ard Ten q Ripe
Old Age These Days.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The American people live too fast, eat
too fast and drink too fast This has
brought upon many of us a train of ner.
vous and stomach disorders that are very
difficult to manage. Investigation and
chemical analysis to discover such com.
pounds as will help those suffering from
such ills has resulted in the discovery OF
DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
which has taken very high rank as q
specific remedy.
IL. L. Owens, a travelling man thirty
years of age, who is we'll known in this
community and generally liked because
he is bright, energetic young fellow, re-
sides with his mother at 335 Central ave
nue., Cincinnati, Ohio. He has been Il
victim of dyspepsia which took the form
OF continuous constipation, and strangely
enough, his mother suffered from the same
trouble. Mr.. Owens testified to the mer-
its of Pink Pills in a most enthusiastic
way, and said to the Enquirer reporter:
Il am glad to say anything l can for
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, because they did
me great good and other people ought to
know of their virtues as a medicine in
stomach troubles. 1t was some time ago
when | felt a heavy feeling in my stom-
ach and | grew very constipated. did
not consult doctor. but having heard OF
the Pink Pills | bought box Of them In
two or three days the heavy feeling in my
stomach disappeared and my bowels were
regular. / did not have to use more than
a box Of them before | was we'll. Since
that time | have only occasionally been
troubled with constipation and l never
get worried, because | know just what to
do. Mother was also troubled with indi-
q
for her they did for me-cured her, didn t
they mother?
When appealed to Mrs. Owens answer
ed: That is right | found that it was 4
great medicine, SO easy to take and SO
quick and lasting in its results"
Mr.. Owens continued: Il believe that
these pills are also good for nervousness
When | had my stomach trouble l was
also quite nervous and that disappeared
with the dyspepsia. The Pink Pills were
all that is claimed for them. You can
make any use of this testimonial that you
see ft.''
Mrs. Owens is quite as enthusiastic
as her son about the Pink Pills and
her host of lady friends can verify her
good opinion of this wonderful remedy
If they feel disposed to do so at any time.
Where the testimony is SO general and
unanimous as to the excellencieS of Pink
Pills as the Enquirer has found it to be
there is certainly good reason to believe
all the good things said-about the safe
and simple remedy.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
contain all the elements necessary to give
new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. They may be
had of all druggists or direct by mail from
the DR.. Williams Medicine Company,
Schenectady. \. Y, at 50c per box, or six

NON-PARTISAN RECEPTION.
Bryans Fellow Citizens Will Give
One on His Return.

LINCOLN (Neb.), July 12.-There was
q feeling of keen disappointment, not
unmixed with some resentment, among
Lincoln people when news was read this
morning of the action of the Democratic
National Committee in determining to
have the two candidates of the party
formally notified of their nominations
at New York City instead of at their
respective homes. Citizens Of Lincoln
had already begun planning for what it
was confidently predicted would be an
epoch in the city's history, and the ac-
tIon of the committee was an unpleaS-
ant surprise. State and local pride is
at a high pitch and 1t was hoped that
the managers of Mr.. Bryan's campaign
CT such of them as are on the Notifica-
tion Committee, would be given an op-
portunity to see the enthusiasm which
the action of the Chicago Convention
had aroused. This determination, how
ever, will not have any effect on the
demonstration and reception of Mr.. and
decided to make it an entirely non-par-
tisan affair, and on the different COM
rnittees prominent Republicans predom-
mate Excursions will be run to the

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
Clothing Worn by the Richardson

SANTA BARBARA, July 12.-An i'm

connection with the Richardson murder.
officer Peter Storm, one of the keenest
men ever connected with the local de-
tective force, has been for days quietly
beating the neighborhood in the vicin-
ity of the Richardson place in the hope
that some evidence might be found
which would help to determine the iden-
tity of the murderer. At noon to-day,
while searching in a field directly op-
posite and below the Richardson place,
trees a bloody shirt, a pair of overalls
and a pair of shoes, which are now in
possession of the Coroner.
The garments will be at once handed
over for microscopical examination to
determine whether the blood is human
No one who sees them, knowing that
they were found but a stones throw
from the house of the tragedy, doubts
that the blood came from the MUIR
dered Richardson women. The appar-
ent age of the blood clots is the same
as those now drying in the lonely house
above. 1t was demonstrated beyond a
doubt that whoever murdered these
helpless victims must have been spat-
tered with their blood. The shirt is of
peculiar pattern and of style and

FIGHT WITH TOUGHS.
They Beat Badly the Conductor and
Engineer of a Train.

CHICAGO, July 12.-The conductor
and engineer of a Wisconsin Central
suburban train which left the down.
town station at 1 o'clock this after
noon had savage fight with six men
near Harlem Station, in which both
trainmen were injured. Six men who
cot on Just outside of Chicago refused
to pay their fare and in their argu-
ment with the conductor retreated to
the front platform of the first car,where
they made a stand. Three of the men
cot off the train, but the others clam
bered on the tender and when Conduc-
tor Cole attempted to follow them they
hit him over the head with a coupling
pin rendering him insensible. Engineer
William King, who came to Coles aid,
was set upon and badly bruised by the
three toughs. The men were kept on
the train, however, until the next sta
ton, where they were placed under ar
rest. They are George Letters, Frank
O'Hearne and Frank Mason. When
the conductor recovered he was minus

seines, the greater bulk apparently have

A shocking feature of the phenomenon
was its savage energy of destruction
Ir the valleys below Bandaisan men s
bodies, when not torn limb from limb

No wonder that such WAS the case, for
so stupendous was the atmospheric dis
turbance that it not only leveled for

trees of bark and twigs, reducing them
10 blanched skeletons.
And now, in the case of the Iwate
wave corpses recovered within a few
hours of death looked as though they
had undergone a weeks decomposition.
The wounds suffered by the survivors
and shown by the bodies of the dead are
also of a shocking description. In some
cases the flesh is torn into shredS, eX-
rt sing the bones beneath; in others, the
eyes are forced out of their sockets; in
others, the trunks seem to have been
wrenched asunder by forces acting in
opposite directions; in others, the skin
looks as though it had been plunged in
boiling water and almost every corpse
shows purple spots as if it had been
fiercely pelted with fragments of stone
or iron 1t is expected that over 80 per
cent Of the survivors now receiving
medical treatment will succumb Then

ceed 10000.

A SECOND TICKET.
Administration Democrats Undeter-
mined Regarding It.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-The ad-
ministration leaders were fully prepared
for a free coinage platform, but they
have not decided what position they
shall assume toward it. Personally,
none of the men of influence who sur
round President Cleveland approve
either the candidates or the platform
adopted at Chicago. They do not hesi-
tate in private conversation to say so.
but they are undetermined whether it
were better to nominate a second ticket
representing sound money views or
combine with the Republicans in sup
port of Mckinley.
Generally speaking, second ticket
is thought to be inadvisable. 1t is
thought that by dividing the sound
money vote the cause itself would be
placed in jeopardy. 1t is argued on
the other hand that this would prove
a source of strength to the gold stand
ard, inasmuch as many sound money
Democrats would give their adhesion to
such a, ticket who might otherwise vote
for Bryan as a matter of party loyalty.
There is a disposition on the part OF
some of the administration leaders to
await the report of the New Workers.
particularly Messrs. Whitney, Flower
and others, who returned East yester-
day. 1t is thought that since these
gentlemen spent a week at Chicago,
minglng freely with representative
men in both wings of the party, they
are better fitted to judge the line of
policy to be followed than those at
Washington who are dependent for
their information upon the daily press.

SOUND MONEY DEMOCRATS.

Him Support.

CANTON, July 12.-This will be a
week of more than ordinary Importance
at Canton. Major Mckinley expects a
good many visitors representing various
interests, classes and organizations.
The event which is destined to attract
the most attention, however, will be the
coming Of six or eight hundred repre-
sentative women of Cleveland on We'd
nesday to congratulate Major McKin-
ley on his nomination and to assure him
that he has in high degree their con-
fidence, respect and admiration.
The mails Of yesterday and to-day
have brought Major Mckinley
in the aggregate more than a hundred
letters from sound money Democrats in
various parts of the country. The writ
ers made their ommunications in
confidence of course, but more than 30
per cent. of these letters make direct
promises of support. A significant fact
in connection with this correspondence
is that quite one-third of these letters
are from Western States where the in
flation sentiment is supposed to be over
whelming.
This evening Major Mckinley received
a number of kilograms complimenting
him upon his speech of Saturday.

HEAVY GRAIN FIRE.
Ii Will Wreck Many of the Losers,
Who Were Not Insured.

STOCKTON, July 12.-One of the
largest grain fires in years started last
night at o'clock a few miles east of
Oakdale on the Threlfall ranch. How
the fire originated no one seems to
know, but it destroyed between $500
and $4,000 worth of grain and build
ings The greatest loss was sustained
by man named Erickson a renter
from Haslacher & Kahn, the Oakland
bankers, who lost 500 acres of fine
wheat by the fire. Not only did he lose
all that, but house, barn and black
smith shop on the place were complete
ly destroyed. The property was partly
insured, but for what sum cannot be
ascertained. Harry Owen, another
farmer, lost $50 acres of choice wheat,
all ready for cutting, and sixty acres
of wheat on the Threlfall ranch, where
the fire started, was completely destroy
ed John Connor was another heavy
loser, and his 100 acres Of barley was
swept away. The Oakdale Land and
Improvement Company lost 100 cords
of wood. The fire will completely
wreck q number of those who sustained
losses, as many carried no insurance.

He Set Fires Because He Had Been

JACKSON, July 12.-For over a week
fires have been of daily occurrence and
the residents of Jackson have not only

the SchOolhouSe and since then the
alarm has been sounded daily. Yester-
day some barns and other buildings
were burned With a loss of about $1,000.

and after the fire yesterday a peddler

was released tonight when the actual
firebug was discovered in George Savich,
the son of one of the Slavonian miners
employed by the Zelia mine. He is a
boy of 13 years, who has brother now
in the Preston School for a theft in
which the present culprit was engaged.
The boy has been engaged in various
depredations for a long time past and
after his arrest he freely acknowledged
having set the fires, because the owners
of the destroyed property had accused
him of theft. There was talk of lynch
ing for time but better counsel pre-
vailed and the boy will be dealt with ac-
cording to law.
