prevent
pneumonia

Prevention is always better than
cure, even when cure is possible.
But so many times pneumonia is not
cured that prevention becomes the
natural act of that instinct of self
preservation which is the first law
of nature" Pneumonia can be pre-
vented and is often cured by the use
of Ayers Cherry Pectoral.
Some years ago had a seyers cold and
was threatened with pneumonia 1 could
neither eat nor sleep, and was in a wretched
condition. l procured a bottle of Ayers
Cherry Pectoral and took it according to the
directions, and at the end of fifteen daysw as
as well and sound as before the attack. l
have recommended it in many cases of pneu-
monia since, and have never known it to fail

JOHN HENRY, St. Joseph, La.
"I was attacked with cold that settled
on my lungs, and deied the skill of my ply
Eicians so that they considered me incIrable.
At last began TO use Ayers Cherry Pectoral
and was entirely cured after having taken
two bottles"

INDUSTRIOUS THIEVES.
They Turned Themselves Loose Sat-
urday Night and Made Some
CreditnbIe HauIs.

All kinds of things were stolen Saturday
night, and as a consequence there was a
constant stream of complainants filing in
and out of police headquarters yesterday.
The heaviest losers were Mr.. and Mrs.
George T. Morgan, of 1927 Garfield avenue,
Mr. Morgan is employed by the Keith Fur
niture Company. Mrs. Morgan was absent
from home Saturday afternoon for time.
When she returned she found everything
in the house in confusion. Drawers had
been ransacked and their contents strewn
over the floor. A systematic search for
valuabIes had evidently been made and
with results which could not but be encour-
aging to the thief or thieves.
Mrs. Morgan reported to the police that
been taken. The principal articles stolen
were silver watch and pistol belonging
to Mr.. Morgan; two opal pins, n pair Of
valuable bracelets, pair of fine opera
glasses several rings. a breastpin and pair
of cuff buttons and number of other ar
ticles. Most of the jewelry taken was
priced beyond its intrinsic worth, especially
the opera glasses, opal pins and cuff but
tons, which were presents and were valued
for that reason in addition to their actual
worth.
A young man spent an hour or more in
the neighborhood Saturday afternoon SELL
suspected of having committed the rob-
berry.
G. D. Lydon, of S27 East Fifteenth street.
reported that his grocery store had been

OVERMYER LOOMING UP.
Likely to BE n Candidate for Presi-
dent or Vice President
I'm 1900.

Topeka. Kas., May 16-(Special) David
Overmyer, the silver champion of Kansas,
will be one of the big fish in the big pud-
die if the silver wing of the Democracy
remains in the saddle during the next pres
idential campaign. The chances are he
will loom up as formidable candidate for
president or vice president of the silver
ties, and will measure strength with Bry-
an. Mr.. Overmyer has received a vast
number of letters already from prominent
silver Democrats throughout the country,
suggesting that he may be called upon to
lead the party of forlorn hope in 1900. Such
men as Editor Mclean, of the Cincinnati
Enquirer, and Editor Ridpath, of the
Arena magazine. are in communication
with Mr.. Overmyer concerning the matter
Bryan himself is beginning to get shaky
over the situation. and has written to Over
myers friends indicating that he would
like to have Oyermyer as a running mate
the next time. This is done, so il is
thought. to sidetrack Overmyer to second
place and keep him from Bryan's way.
But Overmyer is making no promises now
He will probably take the advice of such
men as Mclean and Ridpath instead of
that of Bryan, who had Overmyer's letter
suppressed at the Lincoln banquet some
time ago. The people of Kansas need not
be surprised TO see Overmyer one of the
central figures in national Popocratic poll
tics during the next national campaign.

HE WAGES WAR ON WOMEN.
LOie Fuller Tells of WeyIer's Brutal
ity-She Has Been Playing
I'm Cuba,

New York, May 16.-Loie Fuller arrived
fIcm Cuba to-day on the steamship VAL
encia. She said the newspapers hadn't
pictured strongly enough the cruelties OF
the Spaniards on the island.
'The treatment dealt out to the helpless
Cutans by that monster, Weyler.' she
said, 'is almost beyond belief. He is wag-
ing a war of determination. That's what
he is doing, and his victims are largely
mountains and he cannot catch them, but
he can issue orders for the women and
children TO be brought in from the fields
and villages, and then, when they have
been refused admission, order them shot
down like dogs on the plea that they are
lettering on the outskirts. Oh. the cruel
villain, 1t makes my blood boil, Do 1
know Of any particular outrages? Yes.
indeed. Why, l was told of a Spanish
officer who bought the 16-year-old daugn-
ter of an insurgent general at an auction
and after he had her three days he sold
her to a house of i'll fame. 1 know of
whole family that was arrested and fined
because the daughter refused to surrender
herself to a Spanish officer. A woman is
not safe on the streets in any Of the
towns. Grimes that are a disgrace to CIV
ilization are committed daily and nothing
is said about them. The people are afraid
to talk. 1 would not dare give you the
name of a single informant for publication.
New York papers are watched closely
and whoever is quoted as authority is
marched of to a dungeon. or assassinated
under the pretext of having engaged in a
broil. Men are shot every day on the film
siest sort of pretexts. Why. L wish you
could see two kodak snap shot pictures one
of the newspaper correspondents secured
while 1 was there. One shows twelve Span
ish officers holding a court-martial over a
negro boy about Is years of age. Young
as he Is, his attitude is superb and he faces
the officers without bit of fear. The other
picture shows this little boy being shot to
death by a squad of soldiers. The pictures
were taken only fifteen minutes apart and |
the correspondent got them with kodak |
so small that he could carry 1t under his |
coat without being detected. |

reason to be-" she said. ''Oh, that Sec |

MRS. LEASES VOW.
Her Present Board Bill Controversy
Recalls an Embarrassing Kan
Eas CITY Incident.

Topeka, Kas., May 16.-(Special.) The
controversy now going on between the ell
itor of an Oklahoma paper and Mary Eliz-
abeth Lease in which the editor charges
that Mrs. Lease jumped her board bill at
Guthrie recently, and the uncrowned queen
offers to bet 500 that she didn't, recalls
a stcry of Mrs. Lease and another board
bill. Two years ago Mrs. Lease went to
Kansas City, Kas., to make Populist
speech, and while there put up at a local
hotel. The agreement provided that tine
Populst committee should foot her bills.
A collection was taken up among the Pops
and placed in the hands of an acting treas
urer to settle Mrs. Leases expenses. The
treasurer got drunk and spent the money.
When Mrs Lease was ready to leave, the
landlord cabbaged her baggage for the
bill. He said that the Pops stood good
for a speakers bill once before, and had
failed to liquidate, so this time he would
look to the guest for his money. This hui
inflated the noted Kansas woman greatly,
and, after waiting in vain for some of the
local Pops to show up and foot the ex-
pense, she dug down in her purse and got
out enough money to square the account.
She then and there declared. by the dish
washing and bed-making ability of her
husband, that she never again would step
her foot on Wyandotte soil in the interests
of Populism. So far, she has kept her
word.

PRACTICALLY CERTAIN THAT THE
SENATE WILL ACT.
WILL VOTE FOR RECOGNITION.
SENATOR MORGAN'S RESOLUTION TO
BE TAKEN UP TO-DAY.
Action on the Expected Message From
President Mckinley Is Not Set
tied - First Statement on
the Tariff BiII on
Thursday.

Washington May 16-The proceedings in
the senate next week are by no means set
He'd. All win depend upon the course the
Cuban question may take. Senator Nor
Ean's joint resolution occupies the favora-
bic place on the calendar. and there is little
doubt that it will be taken up at the ap-
pointed hour Monday. Still, there is a
slight possibility that the expected mes
sage of the president may cause a post
ponement, and that the character of his
recC lamentations may have bearing that
will influence the tenor of the resolution
that ultimately will be adopted The Ala
bama senator will not stand in the way of
action in accordance with such a recon-
mendation as the president may make up
on this subject but he will insist that II
shall be independent of, and that It shall
in no wise interfere with, his resolution pro-
viding for recognition of Cuban belliger-
ency.
With the Cuban question in its present
shape and with no other pressing business
before the senate, the debate on this SUBJ
jecr will be of uncertain duration. 1t may
continue practically all the week, and it
may come to q very sudden and speedy ter
mination. There is little or no doubt that
the Morgan resolution will pass when a
vote is reached, and the indications are
that the majority for it will be the greater
for the recent delay. There will continue
10 De some OppoSlllOnr anu the pea VIII
be made that any material aid given in ac-
cordance with executive recommendation
Is all that can be reasonably expected
If Cuba does not occupy the entire at
tention for the week, much of the time is
likely to be given to the general calendar.
Senator Goar will make an effort to have
the Pacific railroad bill considered, while
Senator Lodge will, If the opportunity Of
fers, make the same effort in behalf of
ha inn, aFarraF FfoT, hill TDatf
will call up the resolution for the investiga-
tion of the Pacific railroad land patents.
The Indian appropriation bill will be
brought in on a conference report. In it
there remains only the one point of differ
ence on the Uncompahgre lands to be set
tied. The sundry civil conference probably
will be postponed until Senator Allison's
return to the city. Senator Mallory. the
new Florida senator. will be introduced into
office early in the week.
Senator Aldrich will make the opening
statement in behalf of the tariff bill on
the part of the majority of the finance COM
mittee on Thursday, but it will rest with
individual senators whether the debate
shall be continued beyond this speech at
that time. The probabilities are that the
statement will produce some badnage and
that after this the senate will adjourn until
the following Monday, when the debate will
begin in earnest. Senator Aldrich is ex-
pected to explain fully the position of him
self and colleagues and to make an elabor-
ate presentation of the subject.
