failure to do so made the outgoing
official and his bondsmen responsible.

a CRISIS IN CUBA.

Whether the apprehension OF an ont
break against the United States in
Havana be well founded or not, it il
reasonable to assume that crisis in the
affairs Of Spain in Cuba Ia near Mt hand,
says the Globe-Demcerat. The recall OF
Weyler is confession Of failure which
threatens the existence of the Spanish
Ministry, and even imperils the mon,
archy. Spanisrds OF all classes and
political creeds are resolute in the
endeavor to rRtain Cuba ii possible. The
republicans would fight as hard for it
SIS the monarchists have been doing. 1t
Is this determination OF the Spaniartls
TO cling at all hazards to this last i'm.
portant vestige OF their former vast pos
sessions on the American continent
which makes the outlook for the con
tinuance Of the Bourbon dynasty dark.
1t is easy TO understand, therefore, the
reason OF the animosity of the Spaniards
20 the United States. This government
has been performing its duty to Spain
in this Cuban rebellion earnestly and in
telligently from the first vet it has been
impossible to head off all the men and
munitions OF war which left this eoun-
Try Tor the insurgents. II the United
States had rs large navy as England's
it could not police the waters between
this country and Cuba sufficiently TO
keep all these out. The Spaniar1s see
that all the aid which the Cubans have
received has come from the United
States, but they fail to take into account
that which the country has intercepted,
and which, il it had reached it's destina-
ton, would make tine tenure with which
Spain holds Cuba feebler than it is
already.
An especial reason for the increasing
tension between Spain and the United
Htates is the feeling that the Mckinley
administration will more Tesolutely
guard the rights OF American citizens in
Cuba than the Cleveland regime did.
Consul Gen. Lee, or his successor if Lee
retires, will receive from home the
prompt anu vigorous support which
Cleveland failed to give Lee. The Mad
rid authorities know that the situation
has changed, and that their difficulties
IN Cuba will Increase from this time
In fact they saw the danger
several months ago, or soon after the |
election, and this inspired the desperate
attempts OF Weyler to crush the rebel |
lion before March 4, or at least TO /
weaken and discredit the insurgents. |
But his campaigns have been failures,
as the Spanish people see, and as their
comedies by recalling him.
Thus the Cuban question acquires a new
and greater inttres for the United
States as we'll as for Spain.

Mr.. L. Wilbur, Snohomish City. Dear
Sir: We wish to add a testimonial in
favor of your Blood Puriefer. Two
years ago this summer our son Ernest,
aged 10 years, became affected with
chronic eczema caused by impure blood.
We secured the services of the best
physicians, and all agreed, that his case
was hopeless. After spending large
amount of money this way, we con
cluded to try your purifier, of which,
five bottles completely cured him, and
eradieated every faint of the dreadful
disease. When lie commenced taking
your medicine, his body and limbs were
literally covered with large ugly sores
and the muscles OF his legs had become
contracted to such an extent that the
poor boy was almost bed-ridden. Last
year symptoms of scrofula appeared
again. We Immediately ordered a few
bottles and gave him. Now he is per.
fectly sound and well. We cheerfully
recommend Wilbur's Blood Purifier as
being the best blood medicine on the
market. 1t should be kept in every
home. Respectfully yours,
DIR. A. II. EDpY,

In the theatre women put on their hats

TURKEY HUNTING.
One of the Diversions OF I;ailroading in
Unsettled Parts OF Arkansas.

They do some queer things railroad
ing in Arkansas. Or some Of the new
roads there the tracks runs through
a wild country where the wide swath
cut in the timber for the right of way
was the first blow to the primeval for
est. The HoXie, Pocahontas and North
ern road, which was opened only last
November, is a line of this SOFT. 1t is
not a great trunk line, and it boasts of
only sixteen miles of main track be
tween HOXie ON the main line Of the
Kansas City, Springfield and Memphis
railway, and Pocahontas Oh the Cur
rent river. A mixed train of one com
binatiOn baggage car and passenger
coach and usually box car makes two
trips daily over the line between its
two terminals.
The deep bottom land forests stretch
away on each side Of the track broken
only by one or two new lumber camps.
The wild turkeys have not yet learned
that civilization has laid claim TO this
land, and this fall they often perch
calmly on the branches of trees along
the railway track. The train crews
noticed this and engineer and firemen
have a daily hunt for the game They
sit on their engine boxes with their
shot guns in their hands while the
train ambles along at the easy rate of
twelve miles an hour. When they run
into the turkey regions they fire at
them, and if they kill any they stop the
train, back up to the spot and retrieve
the game. The passengers enjoy the
sport, and occasionally some who are
going TO or from a hunt join m it.
Some of the older sportsmeu who
were in this country when the Kansas
Pacific railway was built remember
when passengers and train crews shot
game from the car windows on the
Kansas plains, and this Arkansas di-
version recalls it to their mind. The
sport will not last long, however. as
there is no wild game more wary than
the wild turkeys They will soon be-
come acquainted with the dangers
along the railroad. and then railroad
ing in Arkansas will once more drop
back to the steady pace it holds else
where.

English Housswive.nnd Bread.

1t is one of the strange inconsistent
cies which we are always running
across everywhere that in London
people do not bake their own bread.
English hOusekeepers have the reputa-
ton of being much more thorough
than their American sisters, they
have the reputation of being more at
home and looking more after their
homes. yet in the houses of rich and
poor alike the bread comes from the
baker. Every housewife who has
given this subject of bread buying
consideration, and has done a little
mental arithmetic, knows that bought
bread is much more expensive than
home made. And the bakehouses in
England have the equation, as have
those in this country, of being not all
of them, in spite OF inspection, less
careful as to sanitary conditions than
they might be.

4 sen sible Fad.

One of the most sensible "fads'
among the girls just now is to save
mp all their old iewelry, old gold
thimbles which have the tops worn
off, gold fob chains, gold bracelets and
pins. and even necklaces, and take
them to some reliable jeweler, who
will either melt them down and make
what she wants out of them, or else
viii excharge them, allowing her for
the weight of the gold. One girl made
a collection for several years of
broken bits Of jewelry, and, with some
of her erandmother's added to them
sold them TO her own jeweler, and
now is the happy possessor of a beau
tiful pearl necklace which she got in
exchange.
