CLEVELAND, O., Nov. Ex-senator Hanna has
decided to take q rest. He will loavo for tho
East on Monday to be gone about ten days. He
expects to address the Marquette Club in Bos-
ton some evening next week. Col. Dick, Sena-

that Chairman McConville's reported scheme
to prevent the issuance Of election certificates
to Republicans by getting out injunctions
against the county election boards was nonsense.
"Thcy cannot make any Roadway with any
such scheme" Col. Dick said. Tho election
boards will be carefully watched. II Mr.. Mo

them we will promptly ask the courts to issue
mandamuses against them to compel Thorn to

Father. Mother and Ten ChiIdren All at School
and All wording for a Living.

TOPEKA, Nov. G.-Away out on tho prairies of
western Kansas. where the hard times have
been painfully felt. there lives at the littlo town
of Lincoln Centre n family of father. mother and
ten children, all of whom arc attending school
and all earning their bread by their labor.
Thomas VI. Strange is IS years old. He Is an
ordained minister of the Christian Church. and
Is attending Lincoln College for tho purpose of

two oldest children. They arc all in tho junior
year. Each morning hey go to the college and
sit together in the recitation rooms. and they
usually have their lessons well prepared. Tho
remaining children go to school ut Lincoln

There Is n romance connected with the mar
rage of Mr.. and Mrs. Strange. Tom Strange
was a farmer, 81 years Of age, md poor. HS
his cousin, Miss Sarah Bird. aged 10 years. Tho
two decided TO marry, but, the laws OF Kansas
forbid marriage betw cen first cousins: so they
set off together in an OK car from Their nome In
central Kansas and went TO Pleasant Hill. Mo.
1t was Il long and weary journey. They were
married there on Aug. 8, 1871. and returned
home in tho OK cart. From that time on Tom
Strange worked tho harder and in spare mo-
mcnts studied with tho intention OF entering
the ministry. He WAS licensed TO preach in
studied for the ministry and has been ordained.
She seldom misses an appointment by, her hus-
band. and in many ways lends him valuable as
sistance.
To this couple have been born fifteen children.
Ten are living and are with their parents. The
youngest Is IA girl Of . years. the Oldest a son or
81. While Mr.. Strange and the boys are piant
from the tcn.acrc patch about their home. Mrs.
Strange and the girls take In sewing and wash
ing, and thus do their share toward supporting
the family. Each member OF the family has his
particular work to do. and 1t is always done
promptly and well.

Calves absolute reliance on Paine's celery
compound at all such lines OF low nervous
energy appears in the following letter:
BOSTON. March, 1897.
I am convinced that Paiuc's celery compound
is the greatest nerve strengthened that can, be
obtained. | can vouch for its wonderful g ,ith-
giving power. EMMA CALNE.
Every great change for the worst in health is
in most cases at once betrayed by q loss of
weight md n pinchcd thinning Of the face. On
the other hand, q gain in weight, up to a certain
point, goes hand in hand with an improvement in
all other essentials OF health. ana notably an
Improvement in the color and amount of tho
blood.
One Of the snrest tests of the health.making
capabilities OF Paine's celery compound is the
rapid increase in weight and tho increased rud-
diness OF the blood that invariably follows its
use. 1t clears the skin. makes the excrctory,
purifying functions. performed by the bowels,
kidneys. and the skin. regular and thorough.
The improvement in looks from taking this
great restorative is not a mere matter OF idle
vanity, but the sign of healthier processes all
over the body. Many n parent, wife. and hus,
band have watched with growing surprise and
JOY some liStless. whitc.hloodcd. feeble relative

Enterprise

EuteTpFtbo.
OTTAWA. Nov. Ga satisfactory scheme has
been arranged for the construction of the Ottawa
and Georgian Bay Canal. Mcleod Stewart, ex-
Mayor of Ottawa. was in England tho greater
part of the summer promoting the scheme, and
his efforts TO form an English syndicate to en-
bark upon the enterprise have met with success.
A canal from Ottawa to tho Georgian Bay
would shorten the distance from Montreal to
Lake Superior byover $50 miles. A large pro-
portion OF the carrying trade intended for tho
other side OF tho Atlantic would flow naturally
from the western, trade centres on the great
lakes through this proposed waterway to the
disadvantage of those American transportation
lines which now perform the service via United
States ports.
Tho f 'glish company organized to build the
canal mas Sir Wetman Dickinson Pearson at it's
head. 1t Is said that there is n stipulation on
the part OF the Government. in considering the
company's proposal, that tho canal shall be of
sufficient proportions to admit OF the passage of
warships OF n certain tonnage to the great lakes.
The Government will offer every encourage.
ment to the company, Tho estimated cost OF
the canal is TO be in the neighborhood Of Sl5.-
