had Consumption and that there was
no hope for her, but two bottles of DR..

discovered that his wife was shot

room into the kitchen. He stat

side of the house had been left
open and that he supposed the
fellow come in that way.

wound had been inflicted by her
husband, Elmer Lemons.

After the interest centering
around the Populist Convention,
the question. of chief interest in
politics is whether or not the
Democratic boilers will nominate
a third ticket, The urgency for
such a ticket comes from Illinois
and springs not half so much
from any enthusiasm for the gold
standard, as from the personal
enmity to Governor Altgeld,
which makes it impossible for the
Democracy of that State to hold
together under any circums,an-
ces. The governor is a man of
great political vitality, but not
of conciliatory temper, and a re-

Illinois between Gov. Altgeld

nothing in the woman's organization

more and more daily. Many young
women are too lazy to grow strong.
They cannot walk Il dozen blocks. or
do anything that calls for the slightest

there is any inherent quality in the
woman's body forbidding it? Not at
all. Because they never have done it!
