A Good Example.

The action of tho silver republicans
in deciding to make the money issue
paramount sets good example to the
gold democrats. The Baltimore News
(dem.) says: They must keep them
selves in readiness to support, not mere
ly by asserting vote, but by active work
and friendly counsel, any effort which
may DO honestly put forward by the in
coming administration to place the
finances of the country upon sound
basis. They would stultify their course
in the contest of last year II they al
lowed party considerations to have 30

ison with their duty upon this issue Of

friends, who say that the whole thing
depends upon the character of the peo-
pie; that the people are speculative and
that nothing can be done for them.
"My impression is that if some
thoughtful plan could be suggested it
would be quite possible to educate all
the agricultural people of the country
to understand that man who is thrifty
and honest and sober and prompt can
always in some way get some money.
1t is very hard thing-'we do not under
stand it at all here because we have so
much money moving among us-but if
every time we went to a store we were
unable to buy anything except on credit,
if we had no money to pay down to en-
able us to reap the advantages of cash
payments. we should begin to be fret

WANT ANNEXATION.

Reliable Information Gained by Gu
ban League of the United states.
The Cuban League of the United
States, in an effort to obtain informa-
ton by its own representative from the
field of war, sent well-known writer,
whose name is withheld, to Cuba with
instructions to observe closely matters
on both sides of the controversy and to
faithfully report thereon. His first let
ter, dated February 3, to the president
of the Cuban league, has just arrived.
In it he says:
'sHere is a fact of very grave impor-
lance upon which you may rely: There
exists here a very positive sentiment,
carefully concealed of course, among
people of property-Cuban, Spanish
and American-in favor of annexation
to the United States. They are tired of
war and want absolute peace, security
and prosperity under the American flag.
You must understand that this senti-
ment is not expressed openly, but have
had private conferences with people of
wealth and high social standing, and 1
can assure you that the sentiment in
favor of annexation prevails generally.
1t is the intention of Weyler to abso-
lutely exterminate the Cuban race. He
has destroyed all the property of the
poorer classes, burned their houses, cut
down their orchards, and uprooted their
plantations of every kind. The people
are driven in droves towards the towns,
where they are herded in vile sheds to
die of smallpox, yellow fever and fam
inc. They are the poor people who take
no part in the war, mostly women and
children, and are known as pacificos."

KILLS CATS IN PULPIT.
Realistic VivisectiOnal Sermon
Against Tobacco Using.

Realistic VivisectiOnal Sermon
Against Tobacco Using.
The announcement that Rev. W. L.
Laufman, assisted by DR.. c. E. Miller,
would kill two cats in the pulpit of the
Methodist church at Cadillac, Mich, to
illustrate Laufman's sermon on tobac-
CO, was sufficient to pack the church.
Prominent on the pulpit were packages
of finecut and plug chewing tobacco.
Holding aloft pound plug of tobacco,
he assured his hearers that it contained
enough grains of nicotine to kill 200
men. Then the cats were brought up
by DIR. Miller. An assistant held them
while the doctor administered the nico-
tine. The first one died in minute and
a half, while the attendant held it, and
three drops of nicotine were placed on
it's tongue. The next cat, large one,
was administered only two drops, the
purpose being to illustrate the sickness
and spasms which the first dose of to-
bacco creates. A second dose of two
drops, and in minute and a quarter the
cat was dead. Rev. Laufman announced
that next Sunday he would kill some
more cats to show the effect of alcohol,
and also have on exhibition the stomach
of a drunkard.

SNAKE CONTROLS AN ISLAND.
Black Point Key, on the Florida
Coast, Held by Il Bon.

Coast, Held by Bon.
Black Point key, few miles below
Miami, Fla, is now known as Snake
key, from the fact that a huge Brazil
ian boa has control of the island, much
to the terror of the guides who go there
and the few inhabitants of the close
by islands.
The story is that several years ago
a steamer with a circus on board foun-
dered off the island. The snake was
then possibly ten feet long; now reli-
able persons state it is 80 feet long
and of generous proportions otherwise.
Indian guides have been afraid to go
to the island since last fall, when two
of their number were killed by some
mysterious thing, and the snake was
blamed for it. Several other persons
who ventured to land have disappeared,
and tourists now cannot get guides
to go there to explore the island, which
is about so acres in extent and thicl1ly
grown with low shrubs.

Damon and Pythias

The performance of Damon and
Pythias" which occupied the Rhode
opera house Tuesday evening was not
very we'll patronized, condition no
doubt due, very largely at least, to the
fact that it was not properly adver-
tised. The performance was very fair
for home talent company. One fact
that shone above all the rest was this:
Miss Susie Rowe was the star of the
evening. She carried her part with
pre- eminent success and completely
distanced Mrs. Rodgers, who was billed
as professional.
One of the jokes of the evening was
the reception by Sidney Jones of a
beautiful head of cabbage with ex-
quisite trimmings of paper flowers. Mr..
Jones found it hard to face his auditors
after that.

is what is known as wet sprinkler
system in addition to plugs located in

their own system complete, including

She is TAKEN to Waupun Early This Morn
ing.
Mrs. Marie Pleva left this morning in
company with Sheriff Abel, Mrs. Abel
and Attorney Kral for her future home
of probably eight years in Waupun.
The party left on the 4 o'clock train
this morning. The scene at leaving
was an extremely affecting one. The
children were awakened and they bid
their mother a most affectionate good
bye. Mrs. Pleva was entirely broken
down. She wept terribly and her
demonstrations could easily be heard
outside the sheriff's residence.
The most affecting. of the scenes,
however, took place after the party
had gone. The little boy was weeping
as though his little heart was broken.
But looking up and seeing his little
sister in similar condition he dried his
tears at once, and throwing his arms
around her did all in his power to COM
fort her. He finally succeeded, and,
all through the day he was careful
not to display any feeling and did all
he could to keep his sister comforted.
The children will remain at the jail for
a time. What will be done with them
cannot be stated yet. An effort will
be made to SO place them that their
mother can get them as soon as she is
released.

A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
ScrofuIous Humors - How Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
It appeared in the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned"
WILLIAM BARTz, 416 South Williams ST.,
South Bend, Indiana.
You can buy Hoods Sarsaparilla of all
druggists. Be sure to get only Hoods.
