Fishing for a Fish. Hook.

The following account was gravely
reported in an Edinburgh journal of
September, 1896: ''Some few days
ago, very extraordinary accident hap
pened to boy near Maidenhead; who
having put some gooseberries and fab
ing hooks in the same pocket, unluckily
swallowed one Of the hooks, and found
part of the line in his mouth; which,
in endeavoring to pull up fixed in his
stomach; he Immediately ran to sur
geon, who could give him no relief till
The following cxpedient happily re-
lieved hin. A small hole being made
in leaden bullet, and the line put
through it, the boy swallowed the bull
let, the surgeon held the line, the
we ght of the bullet loosed the hook,
and both were easily drawn up"
Moral: Don't mix gooseberries and
fishing hooks" lest you be unable to
distinguish between them and swallow
the wrong articlel

advice during the last few months.
Think what a volume of experience
she has to draw from! No physician
living ever treated so many cases Of
female ills, and from this vast expert
ence surely it is more than possible
she has gained the very knowledge
that will help your case.
She is glad to have you write or call
upon her. You will find her a woman
full of sympathy, with a great desire to
assist those who are sick. If her medi-
cine is not what you need, she will
frankly tell you so, and there are nine
chances out of ten that she will tell
you exactly what to do for relief. She
asks nothing in return except your
good will, and her advice has relieved
thousands.
Surely, any ailing woman, rich or
poor, is very foolish if she does not
take advantage Of this generous offer
of assistance.
Never in the history of medicine has
the demand for one particular remedy
for female diseases equalled that at
tanned by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound, and never in the
history of Mrs. Pinkham's wonderful
Compound has the demand for it been
SO great as it is to-day.

Across the Delaware.

The winter night Is cold and drear,
Along the rivers sullen flow;
The cruel frost 10 camping here
The air has flying blades of snow,
Look pushing from the icy strand,
With ensigns freezing In the air,
There sails small but mighty band
Across the dangerous Delaware.
wherefore, soldiers, would you fight
The bayonets Of winter storm7
In truth, 1t were a better night
For blazing fire, and blankets warmi
We seek to trap foreign foe,
Who fill themselves with stolen fare;
We carry Freedom as we gs
Across the storm-swept Delawarel
The night 10 full of lusty cheer
Within the Hessian's merry camp;
And faint and fainter on the ear
Doth fall the needless sentry's tramp.
o hirelings, this new nations rage
Is something tits not well to dare;
You are not fitted to engage
These men from DER the Delaware
A rush-a shout-s clarion call
Salute the early mornings gray;
Now, reused invaders, yield or fall;
The refuge-land has won the dayl
Soon shall the glorious news be hurled
Wherever men have wrongs to bear;
For Freedoms torch illumes the world,
Will Carleton, in Every Where.

Henley on Thames, July 6-This lit
tie town and the clubs and residences
rapidly and the last of the house boats
and steam launches are taking up the
positions allotted to them by the Thames
officers.
This year the number of house boats
and launches flying the stars and
stripes, and the number of Americans
who will be present will be far greater
than last year when Cornell unsuccess-
fully contested.
The crews entered for the grand chal-
lenge cup are in the main so evenly
matched that there is little to choose
between them. The first event tomor-
row will be the heat for the diamond

London Rowing club and First Trinity

mary heat for the grand challenge cup
at 1 o'clock. At 2 O'Clock comes the heat
between the I4eander crew and the Yale

race If Yale wins the first heat she
viii have to row the second heat with
the victor, as between New College and
Trinity Hall. It is expected that this
viii be New College. So that Yale viii
have to meet the two crews that are
considered most to be feared before the
final events.
The French crew arrived today. The
Yale men lent them their old boat
pending the arrival of their own. The
French oarsmen were greatly pleased
at this courtesy.
The first contingent of the Yale men
who arrived here by the Umbria on
Sunday reached Henley this morning
and are now taking in the sights and
taking the practice of the crews.
Among them were Messrs. Thorn and
Cross.
The members of the Yale crew are all
in excellent condition and confident of
victory. In practice this morning they
got away better than at any time since
their arrival here and the boat showed
more life.

TOPEKA BALL TROUBLES.
The Present Club May be Retained
Meeting Tonight.

Sam Levy, the manager of the To-
peka base ball teamyis out of the city.
After receiving all the money taken in
at the two games Saturday. he and his
partner, Claude East, skipped the town,
and have not been heard from since.
The receipts at the morning game
were $50, and the afternoon game $3.50.
But Topeka will have a team to play
ball, and it will be in the Kansas State
league, too. Yesterday a meeting was
held at Frank Longs and it was de-
cided to organize a stock company.
This evening at s7:3O- those interested in
baseball will meet at Frank Longs and
complete the organization It is pro-
posed to incorporate the company.
The CoffeyvilIe team will not play
here this week. That was a scheme Of
Levy's. He announced that he had ar
ranged for the games, but as a matter
of fact he had not. Coffeyville will
play here later, however.
The games We're rather a disappoint-
ment. The morning score was II to 0.
In the afternoon the biggest crowd of
the season gathered at Athletic park.
The grand stand was filled, and the
bleachers were so packed that they fell
down. No one was hurt. Dick Cooley
was the principal attraction in the af-
ternOOn but the 'SunflOwers'' were so
poor that he did not have a chance to
show the people what he could do.
Seven innings were played and the
score was 16 to in Topeka's favor. The
players had to walk to the city, as
there were no funds to pay car fare.
Levy and his tough friend got away
without the slightest trouble, and it is
supposed that they took the 4 o'clock
Santa F'e train for the east. Both Levy
and East live at Kansas City.
Each of the Topeka players had about
$50 for salary charged up against the
management, and Frank Long is out
of pocket S52
1t is expected that an enthusiastic
base ball meeting will be held tonight,
and that the new company will be
go. Already enough men have signi-
fed their willingness to help to give it
a start. It is proposed to put base bail
in Topeka on a good solid basis.

CURFEW ORDINANCE.
One Will be introduced at the City
Council Meeting.

A new surfew ordinance will be intro
duced at the meeting of the city coun-
ell and like that passed in 1894 will
probably be a dead letter.
The new ordinance differs from the
old in a few unimportant particulars
and the lines are drawn even more
tightly. The maximum fine is made SIS
and part of the time the curfew hour
is to be s p. m, instead of 9.
The ordinance applies to all children
under Is years. Between March / and
September I, the fire bell is to strike
nine strokes at S:45 which is a signal
that all children must be at their homes
within five minutes. Between Septem-
Der 1 and March 1 the fire bell will
strike eight strokes at 7:45 and the or
dinance will be in effect at s.
No provisions are made in the ordi-
nance for extra policemen to keep the
children indoors but if the ordinance is
enforced it will probably require at
least 100 more than at present on the
city pay roll.

CARVER WON'T RUN.
Going to Visit in Pennsylvania and
Not Candidate for Chief Justice.

Judge Carver of the court of appeals
will be in town for few days the lat
ter part of the week. He then expects
to go to Chambarsburg, Pa, to spend
a three weeks vacation. A prominent
Republican who saw Judge Carver at
Salina on the Fourth said to a Journal
reporter:
4 had quite a talk with Judge Car
yer. and While the telegram sent out
from Abilene in regard to the judge
getting into the race for chief justice
was not mentioned 1 do not think he
has any intention of coming out or he
would certainly have said So"
The dispatch referred to was one
sent out from Abilene and vas to the
effect that Judge Carver would not be
a candidate for re- election to his pres
ent place, but would run for chief jus
tee
G. w Hurd of Abilene is anxious to
be a candidate for Judge Garver's pres
ent position and some of the judges
friends have mentioned his name for
chief justice
The Abilene dispatch was probably
sent out by Hurd's friends hoping that
Carver would be forced out of the
way and leave Hurd a chance to come
out.

In a Speech at Eureka He Advises
Against the Move.

Eureka, July 6.-Senator PETER de-
Iivered the Fourth of July Grafton here
to hundreds of people. It was entirely
free from partisanshfp and pleased
everybody.
Speaking on the political situation
later, he expressed himself as not san
guine of a combination between Demo-
Gratis and POpulists in the coming cam
paign. The Democrats, he thought. would
be unwilling to meet the POpulists half
way and the latter could not ford to
endorse a straightOut Democrat on
regular Democratic platform.
Should the Democratic platform be in
harmony with POpulist beliefs through
out and the nominees in sympathy with
the platform. he would favor an en-
dorsement, but in his opinion it would
be good policy to wait four years for
complete victory won on principle
rather than to accomplish success this
fall by participating in the election of
a Democrat who would only be in har-
mony with Pcpulists on a single ques-
ton, that Of silver coinage.
