A MOTHERS THANKS.
She Tells What Pink Pills Did For
Her Child.
Suffered From st. VttuS Dance-Lost
the Use of Her Right Side and AL
most Lost the Power of Speech.
Cures In Few Weeks.
Aylmer, (Canada) Gazette.

Aylmer, (Canada) Gazette.
Of all the discoveries made in medi-
cine in this great age of progress none
have done more to alleviate human SUI
fering than DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
We suppose there is not hamlet in
this broad land in which the remark
able healing power of this favorite me-
dicine has not been put to the test and
proved triumphant. 1t is great medi-
cine and the good it has accomplished
can only be faithfully estimated. There
are many in Aylmer who speak of DR..
Williams Pink Pills in terms of praise,
and among them is the family of Mr..
John Smith, the well-known black
smith and wheelwright Having heard
that his daughter, Miss Minnie, had
been cured of ST. Vitus dance by the use
of Pink Pills, the Gazette called upon
Mr.. Smith to learn the particulars.
Upon mentioning the matter to him
he expressed pleasure in making the
facts public, if it was thought that they
would benefit anyone else, and remark
ed that he thought Mrs. Smith could
probably give the particulars better
than himself. Mr.. Smith said that about
a year ago Minnie was attacked with
st. Vitus dance, of a rather severe ma
ture, and a number of medicines were
tried, but without any effect upon the
trouble. An electric battery was also
used but had no beneficial effect. The
trouble appeared to be getting more
severe, and finally Minnie was obliged
to discontinue going to school, having
lost the power of her right side. Her
speech was also so much affected it was
with difficulty she could be understood.
She was out of school for about six
months and all this time she was under
going treatment, which however, prov
ed ineffective. One day Mrs. Smith saw
in the Gazette the particulars of a case
of st. Vitus dance cured by the use of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, and determin-
ed to try them with Minnie. By the
time two boxes were used Mrs. Smith
was sensible of a great improvement
in her daughters condition. and after
the use of four more boxes was salts
fed that Minnie was completely cured
as no symptoms of the trouble remain
ed. This was about the end of June
last, and since that time there has not
been the slightest recurrence of the
dread disease While Minnie was TAX
ing the pills her weight increased, and
her general health was much improved
Mrs. Smith also said that her younger
daughter showed symptoms of the same
trouble, but the use of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills speedily dissipated it.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are offered
with confidence that they are the
only perfect and unfailing blood builder
and nerve restorer and when given a
fair trial disease and suffering must
vanish. They make rich, red blood and
cure when other medicines fail

ARRANGING PHOTOGRAPHS.

A novel idea, and one by means of
which photographs of celebrities in lit
erature or music may be used to ad-
vantage, is to arrange them along the
top of the low book shelves of the Ii
brary, by means of panel OF glass as
wide as cabinet photograph, inserted
lust above the shelves, a narrow mould
ing finishing it at the top. Behind this
the pictures are slipped. Pictures of
musicians may be used for a music
room. or sets of pictures of noted
places for any room.

HOW TO MAKE A HAMMOCK.

Hammocks of linen canvas are easily
made and are in decided favor. Get two
wards of forty-inch wide canvas, stitch
a deep hem in each end and make nine
holes. evenly spaced, along each of
them. Buttonhole the eylets strongly,
RIM strong cords through them, knot
TING them firmly into a large metal
hook. Run a steel rod or curved stick
through the hem at the head and foot,
and the hammock is ready to hang. A
valance with scalloped edge bound with
braid of a contrasting color is pretty
finish.

REPUBLICAN GAINS.
Connecticut Town Elections Show Re-
newed Confidence in the G. o. P.

Hartford. Conn, Oct. 5.-Town cleo
lions were held all over the state today,
excepting at Hartford, New Haven.
Bridgeport, Ansonia. Derby and Nau-
gatuck. and the results show a decided
gain in republican strength and are
believed to be an index to the greater
political battle which will be waScl AZ
the polls four weeks from tomorrow.
The extreme satisfaction at the results
expressed by Lieutenant Governor
Cook. the republican ~gubernatorial
nominee, found a reiteration at the
headquarters of the republican state
committee, where it was stated tonight
that Mckinley and Hobart would get
upwards of 10000 majority at the state
elections. Though today's elections
present many local issues. which COM
plicate the efforts to arrive at an intel
ligent idea of the leading parties
strength, in the few towns that had
both gold and silver democratic tickets
in the field the gold men were greatly
in the majority. The weather condi-
tons were decidedly ~unfavorable for a
large vote, but the leaders of both par
ties realized that upon the result of to,
days elections an estimate of the prob
able majority in Connecticut in No.
vember would be formed and an effort
was made in almost every town to get
out the fullest possible vote.
Hartford county. with twenty towns
heard from, gives sixteen republican
and four democratic. There are seven
towns not heard from.
Litchfield county gives seventeen re-
publican and four democratic towns,
while Tolland shows the usual republic
can strength.
Windham county is looked upon a,
the hotbed Of republicanism, and in the
election today maintained its reputa-
ton. In several towns, notably Wind
ham. the school and liquor questions
were injected into the campaign. The
heads of the tickets were, however,
voted for in straight party lines and a

A LIEUTENANT DESERTED.
! eft on the Field of Battle by His
Soldiers.

New York, Oct. "a special to the
Herald from Havana, Cuba, says:
1t is reported that rebel lieutenant,
Col. Limo Mira1el. formerly q bandit,
after being seriously wounded at the
late fight on the road from Havana to
San Jose De Las Lajas, was shameful,
ly abandoned by the young Havana re-
,:ruits composing his command. A ne>
sio adjutant and two mulattoes alone
remained and lost their lives while at
tempting to bear their wounded chief
from the field from under a rain of bull
lots.
When finally captured Mirabel beg,
ged to be allowed to speak with the
Spanish guerilla captain. the latter, re-
fueing to hear him, ordered the prison-
er to be dispatched at once.
Antonio Maceo is reported to have
used artillery in his recent attack upon
the Spanish positions at San Felipe and
:'inar Del Rio. Superintendent Saco of
the government battalion San Quen-
lin, wounded in that engagement, has
since died. Maceo's forces outnumber-
ed the loyal troops four to one. He
commanded in person, surprised the
Spanish camp at night during a terrible
rain storm. and besieged it for is hours.
The commander finally evacuated it
and cut his way out. r%etreating toward
the coast. to telegraph Capt. Gen. Wey-
Ter at Havana. that another victory had
been won. Trustworthy unofficial re-
ports of the engagement give the Span
ish losses as 80 killed and Ga wounded.
The rebel loss was II killed and 90
wouDded.
Tie rebels who raided and burned
the town of Las Canas. near the trocha,
week. are reported to have been
ed by a Cuban boy, II years old, a sol
of Gen. Garlic, of Remedies.
Traffic has again been resumed over
The Western railway. Trains are now

Gently been circulated in the west 70 the
effect that Mr.. Hobart, the republican
candidate for vice president, is presi-
dent of the hard coal trusts, which, 1t
is alleged. has advanced the price Of
coal. When Mr.. Hobart's attention was
called to this report he said that while
he did not make it a practice to deny
campaign rumors, he felt that inasmuch
as this matter had been circulated
through the west it was proper to make
a statement, the substance of which is
as follows:
Last December the trunk line rail-
roads located east Of the Mississippi
were called upon. under an agreement
known as the Joint Traffic association,
to select three arbitrators to arbitrate
the difference which might arise be-
tween these railroads. Only trunk lines
were included and the matters submit
ted to arbitration had nothing to do
with coal, coal production, coal ton
mage or the price of coal in any man
ner, form or shape whatever, whether
directly or indirectly. The election OF
Mr.. Hobart as a judge between these
railroads was made because he had no
interest there in any form"
"Mr. Hobart also distinctly stated
that he has no connection, direct or in
direct, with any such local trust. He
does not know of the existence of any
such trust, except what he has seen in
the newspapers"

WORSE THAN WHISKY.

According to the statement of the city
physician. water Is killing more people
in Denver than all her whisky. The
city is suffering from an epidemic of ty-
phoid fever, the cause Of which re-
mains a mystery. The county and all
the city hospitals are crowded with this
class Of patients, and applications for
the admission Of new cases are being
made at the rate OF Ave per day.
For the month Of September lis
cases were reported to the city health
department, and It Is safe to say that
this number did moi represent one-third
Of the new for that month. Out
Of the number reported there were

Several members Of the order have sold

engaged. But 1t is really no more than
could be expected when 1T Is seen what
is given for a dollar. There will be
nearly 200 presents to be given away
and the entertainments given during
the fair are well worth the price of the
tickets. 1t speaks volumes for the pa
triotism and generosity Of the mer,
