LINCOLN'S LOVE LETTER.
Remarkable Epistie to Mary Todd,
who Became Mrs. Lincoln.

New i DIX ADVERTISER.
One of the most remarkable love letters
on record is probably that of Mr.. Lincoln
to Mary Todd, who became his wife. 1t is
love letter without speaking of love, and
a proposal without proposing. 1t is in
genious composition and does credit to the
profession to which Mr.. Lincoln belonged,
and might serve as a guide to some am
bilious youth who is not quite sure that
the girl he loves loves him.

OAKLAND. Cal, Sept. 2S.-From advices
recently received from members of the
Lick Observatory eclipse expedition to
Japan. it is anticipated that the party will
arrive here on Friday next Its home
coming is fraught with much interest, for
several of the members met with thrilling
adventures. DR.. G. E. Shuey, Professor
Schaeberke and Louis Mesten while re-
turning much disheartened from the sta
ton in northern Japan. seIected for
the observations that were made,
determined to climb the snowy
summit of Fujiyame. 1900 feet
above the level, notwithstanding the
omnous conditions that threatened a Sc
we're storm. The ascent was not marked
by any extraordinary features until the
Shuey. THE storm broke furiously upon
within very short time afterwards. 1t
was the most furious that beat about the
snow-clad mountain for many years. The
blizzard swept the crags, and we nearly
persisted. For thirty-six hours we Were

DR.. Shuey writes under date of Aug %:
we left Colin bay few days after MAX
ing the ascent of Fujiyame with the in

limited knowledge of Japanese and the sta

could not understand why he could not sell

let us have one to Nagoya, where we had

get another ticket to Kyoto, and at the

WHY SOME BILIOUS PEOPLE TAKE

is much misunderstood.

Biliousness is much misunderstood.
So many people have 1t, that tits worth
understanding, the more so as 1t is easy
enough, if you begin right.
Liver secretes a fluid called bile. Bile
goes to the intestines, where 1t performs
important work in digestion. Sometimes
bile passages in liver get clogged. This is
biliousness.
''Pilliousness' is the idea that by taking
a pill which stimulates the liver, we may
cure biliousness. 1t is only an idea.
Pill-taking relieves but does not cure il.
The cure can only come through the stom-
ach.
Why?
Bilousness is caused by the poison OF un-
digested food, irritating the liver. To cure
biliousness these poisons must be got out
of the stomach. The only sure way to do
this is with Shaker Digestive Cordial.

Amusing Instances of the Feeling
Against Drinking Songs

Agnes Repplier, in the October Atlantic.
With Peacock, the history of English
drinking songs is practically closed and
1T does not seem likely to be reopened in
the immediate future. ANY approach TO
the forbidden theme is met by an opposi-
ton too strenuous and universal to be
lightly set aside, We may not love nor
value books more than did our great-grand-
fathers, but have grown to clIriouslv
overrate their moral influence to fancv
that the passions of men and women are
freed or restrained by snatches of song. or
the bits of conversation they read i'm novels
Accordingly, rigorous censorship is main
tanned over the ethics of literature with
the rather melancholy result that we hear
OF little else. Trivialities have ceased to
be trivial in a day of microscopic research
and there is no longer anything not worth

Few Operators Went Out,

MONTREAL, Sept. ga strike of the
telegraph operators and train dispatchers
on the Canadian Pacific railroad was or
dered for o'clock tonight. Assistant
Grand Chief Pierson, of the Order of Rail-
way Telegraphers, is here looking after the
strike. Just how many men went out can
not be ascertained. Assistant General Man
ager Thomas TAFT, in interview this
evening says: "A committee claiming to
represent the telegraph operators sought
an interview with the executive officers at
Montreal to-day for the purpose of dis
cussing some alleged grievances. They and
the telegraph operators whom they claim
to represent have declined to inform the
officers of the divisions on which they are
employed Of these alleged grievances as
they are required to do by the regulations
of the company, and as is always done by
other employees. This appears to be the sole
and only reason for the strike which has
been ordered. When the strike was ordered
at 8 o'clock one operator at the Windsor
street station, in Montreal, walked out and

patchers and a few operators at stations
of lesser importance did likewise

HER STORY TRUE,
And the Men Implicated Took Re-
yenEe by Killing Her.

NEWPORT, Ark, Sept. 2S.--The dead
body of a girl was recovered from the river
near Jacksonport about two weeks ago, and
her identity until to-day was a mystery.
Since then officers have been investigating
and to-day it was learned that she came
from Formosa, Van Buren, county, and just
before election day she had nineteen men
arrested for assault. When the case came
UP her testimony was so horrible that Off
GERS doubted her statement and discharged
the prisoners Since the finding of the body
evidence has been unearthed which reveals
the truth of her statement and shows that
she was outraged and afterwards murdered
by some of the men whose arrest she had
caused.
