Lydia E. Pinkham, who is so widely known by the benign face in the ceIe- brated patent medicine advertisement, IS not, as many people suppose, a myth. To this fact there is no stronger evidence than her son, Charles II Pinkham, whom the Times. Herald reporter had the pleas ure of interviewing to-day,
 Lydia Pinkham,s personality has prob ably never been described in the publica- tions illuminated by her kindly portrait put that she was living force in the world was g positive fact.
 Charles H. Pinkhan passed through Chicago the other day on his way to spend a vacation in the West. To repre- sentative of the Times Herald he spoke feelingly of hls mother sand sthe painful impression that prevails in some quarters as to her non-cXistence.
 IOf course," said MT Pinkham, "the mere idea is absurd to me, her son, who knew her to be the kinde5t, sweetest, gen. tlest mother in the world. She was all her portrait speaks her to be, and the whole life was given up to doing all the good she could in this weary world.
 tHer life was simple and her hears full of sympathy and tender feeling. After the busi ess grew with almost miracu. lous rapidity,she devoted her entire tine to ic, or at least to that branch of it which related to correspondence with women seeking her advice, and her pleasure WAS l in that duty. l am proud to say that my mother was not 8 myth, and that there was not a drop of selfishness in her make up." Mrs Pinkham was unique among the makers of proprietary medicines She was the first to print her portrait in her l advertisements, and that face has seldom failed to warm the heart of anyone who has seen it. Mir Pinkham carries a.portrait of his mother in his inside pocket. It Is the face of the advertisement, sure enough.
 Lydia Estes-that was her maiden name-was born in Lynn, Mass, and be- fore her marriage she taught school in the httle Yankee town. Her parents were Quakers, and it was in that simple fraternity she exhibited her early ideas of kindness. Her husband was success fuI real estate man, and possessed consid erable wealth. There were four children two of whom-Chsrles H. Pinkham ano Aroline Chase Plnkham-survi7e, anc who now own the business equally.
 Mrs Pinkham had for years brewed tho compound that now bears her name, or her kitchen stove, and had given it away to her neighbors. When the panic oi l 1873 came MT Pinkham, senior, lost hi; fortune. It was while the family wert

DEATH OF MRS BURTON AMMAN.

The funeral of Mrs Burton Hinman, who died on Saturday was attended at her late residence on Monday afternoon, Rev Otis J. Range officiating. Mrs Hin- man has long been member of the Methodist church and was actively en- gagged in the work of building the church in the year 1849, and until age and in- firmities prevented was a regular attend ant, but for several years has been en- tirely blind. A son, then her husband, and later her only daughter passed on before, leaving her with no relatives in this place nearer than cousins, although she has sisters in Pennsylvania. The in. terment was in the family lot in South ford. Her age was 87 years.

TO WAVE OLD GLORY.
Chairman Hanna Names October
81 Flag Day for Loyal
Republicans.
DUTY OF PATRIOTIC CITIZENS.
Recognition of the Fact that the
Party is Fighting for Ma
tional Honor

One does not have to go very far to
seek the reason for the profuse display
of the national emblem in this campaign.
1t can be found in the Chicago plat form.
The spontaneity of its selection the
appropriate badge of sound-money cham
pions is wonderfully significant. There
seems to have been little inclination on
the part of MIR. Bryan's followers to
question the right of the advocates of
sound money and protection to display
of their cause. The ONLY Iamentatio
heard was the Attaalfian wall, which
is always ex~efed when the stars and
-strines pc. Hung to the breeze.
Il he rivalry to who could make. the
most lavish display of the national en-
blem has been confined to the ranks of
the supporters of Mckinley. There. has
been no perceptible effort on the part of
the Popocrats to wrest it from those.
who are fighting to maintain the. ma
tional credit. There seems to he n ron
eral assent to the proposition that the.
flag does not go with the Chicago plat
form
This tacit recognition of the fact that
the nag is the one suitable emblem of the
issues for which our party is contending
is something new in our American poll
ucs. heretofore there has been pa
trlotlc rlyarly between the Republicans
and the Democrats in our national cam
palgns as to which side could make most
profuse display of the stars and stripes.
II is circumstance that will mean much
10 loyal friends of good government and
VIII be potential factor at the polls I'M
November.
Recognizing this fact, Chairman Han.
ma of the national committee suggests
that October 81, the Saturday before
election, be observed as flag day. in
every city and town, on which day every
person who intends to vote for sound
money and national prosperity shall dis
play the national colors from his home
and and his place of business: The sugges,,
should meet with an enthusiastic re-
Spouse all over the nation.
Let every man who intends to vote for |
the preservation of our national honor |
signify his patriotic intention by dis |
playing a flag on Saturday. October 81 |

CONGRESSIONAL RESOLUTIONS.

The peoples party of the Sixth congressional
district in convention assembled renew our de-
votion 10 the fundamental principals of the
Omaha platform.
Money being prime necessity of exchange he
who contracts its value entails more ruin than
all wars, petilence and famines in the history Of
the world. We therefore believe with Thomas
Jefferson that the power to issue and control
the value of money should be taken from the
banks and restored to the people to whom it
belongs and demand the abolition of the ma
tiOnal banking system and basing the currency
on all the wealth Of the nation.
As free and sovereign people we demand the
free and unlimited coinage Of silver and gold at
the ratio of sixteen to one and that all money
be made full legal tender for all debts, both
public and private. We oppose the issue Of
bonds except by express authority Of congress
and we condemn the extravaganza Of the ma
tional administration.
We have no use for any system Of taxation
which tends to build up large fortunes for one
class at the expense of others.
In William Baker, congressman of the Sixth
district, we have found and honest advocate of
these principles we commend him for his manly
stand against the steal of nearly half million
dollars for extra clerk hire for congressman,
We are in favor of submitting all important
questions to the direct vote of the people, To
the support of these principles to which we
pledge the nominee of this convention we invite
the cooperation of all ibeFty-loving people to
assist US in overthrowing the present system of
corporate power and establish a government for
and by the people.

And Thrors silrer OTsrbosrd IN 1soe.

The republican party is unreservedly for sound
money, 1t caused the enactment of the law pro-
viding for the resumption Of specie payments in
1879; since then every dollar has been as good as
gold. We are unalteTably opposed to every
measure calculated to debRse cur currency or
impair the credit of our country. We are, there
fore, opposed to the free coinage of silver except
by International agreement with the leading
commercial nations of the world, which we
pledge ourselves to promote, and until such an
agreement can be obtained the existing gold
standard must be preserved. All our silver and
paper currency must be maintained at parity
with gold, and we favor all measures designed
to maintain in7iOlably the obligations of the
United States and all our money, either coin or
paper, at the present standard-the standard of
the most enlightened nations Of the earth.

The Republicans Hold a Rally In Honor Of

Saturday evening the republicans of
Goodland and Sherman county met at
the court house to form a Mckinley
club and hold a love feast in honor of
their nominee for the presidency.
The courtroom of the court house
was we'll filed with the faithful and
silver "heretics" in about even num-
beTs. After the business of the club
was completed, Hon. K. E. Wilcockson,
of Oakley, addressed the audience.
He started out with "the republican
party is the only true friend of silver"
Here the audience wildly cheered the
exhibition of unadulterated gall, and
the speaker resumed his exhortation,
dealing largely in sophisms and IN
proven assertions, many of which could
have rightfully been termed utterly
false; he continued on a speech that
satisfied the republican part of bis
audience and amused the free silver
portion by its inaccuracies and time
worn arguments that have been an
swered so often that even the most
opaque are thoroughly familiar with
the absurdity Of such holdings.

had been circulated all over the cOun-
try, numbered something over sixty
names.
