Only Remedy Women Should Rely Upon.

The back is the handspring of wo-

Vegetable Compound, as thousands of
women are now testifying, has for
twenty years been the one and only
effective remedy in such cases; it speed

"Some time about the year 1875
or 174O, two young men, cousins of
my grandfather Ewing, came to
America. Their names were Charles
and Robert Ewing. Having gotten
into an affray at fair in Ireland
they were so unfortunate as to kill
a man. for which they were obliged
to fly the country and came to my
grandfather's where they concealed
themselves for length of time
until one of my grandfather's half

visit to his relations in Maryland.
On his return they were put over

A Surprise Farewell Reception,

The Center Point, Iowa. Herald gives
the following account of a surprise fare
we'll reception that was given MIR. and
Mrs. NJ. Mclaughlin on the Monday
evening prior to their departure for this
city:
A surprise farewell reception was
given Comrade Mont. Mclaughlin and
his good wife Monday evening at the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph kubias
hy the members of Denison Post, Corps,
Camp, and friends.
Everything had been arranged to have
grand social time, but it was generally
understood that no refreshments were
to be served. At eight o'clock sharp
the time desighated) Mack's fortress
was charged on and in less time than it
takes to tell it We had full possession Of
the works, and, as usual after such
bloodlsss victories, verybody cut loose
for high old time, and didn't We have
it? Well, l guess so, and had it not
been for the restraint placed upon our
hilarious inclinstions by the presence of
"our chaplain" no doubt the surgeon
would have been obliged to make a
special requisition for supplies in the
way of half rations and double duty.
But listen: The long roll beats! A
surprise The former occupants have
full possession Of the works and have
turned their guns on US, and bang 1!

bang! pop! pop! whiz! angel food,

fruit cake and coffee. were fred at us
without stint or warning and il seemed
but q moment until all were down.
Hit? Yes, right in the mouth.
"It Is swate to die for ones country.
But bedad, can't help but abhor
Thin battles where people get hurted.

The most serious casualty was caused
by the top button Of John Ads picnic
suit flying off and striking both our
commander and adjutant in their alb
sence, though We are glad to learn that
their wounds are not liable to prove
serious. as both are able to sit in an
easy chair.
Comrade Mclaughlin, our good
wishes 60 with you. We have fully for

Rich Finds in Old Districts.

Now again is coming the season when
the prospsctor takes his flight north
ward. A few months ago he was driven
out of Alaska and from the mountains of
British Columbia, Washington, Idaho
and northern Oregon. when the snow
fell, and made his way to the more
congenial winter climates from southern
Oregon to Mexico. As much as all the
west, from the Black Hills to Vancouver
Island. Colorado and New Mexico to
California, and from Alaska to Mexico,
has been gone over by prospectors these
many years. there are being made more
discoveries than ever before of mines
that will be of lasting value and of new
districts that will attract the worlds at
tentior. The prospector today in spirit
and character is much unlike the pros
pector of years ago, but he knows more
and the results Of his better work is
shown in the continuous reports Of
strikes being made all over the western
side of the continent. What is more
significant is the fact that very large
proportion Of these are made in the dis
tricts that have been gone oyer by the
prospector time and again for the past
quarter of a century. The Frazer river
excitement took thousands from Cali
fornia in the SOS only to be disappoint-
ed. Now with modern methods the
mines promise to yield large returns
and are attracting the attention Of capi-
tai. In the Black HillA rich mines are
being found in rock that was passed
over because 1t was not like that Of the
first discoveries. In Wyoming thou.
sands of acres Of placer are being ex-
plotted. Yet Wyoming has never been
known as gold mining state. In Ne
vada the same story is being told. In
New Mexico and Arizona the demand
for copper has been tho cause of pros
pscting for ore bodies carrying that
metal, with the result that enough
promising discoveries have been made
to greatly add to the wealth of these
territories. DIN Montana, Idaho, Colo
RADIO. Alaska and parts of British Colum-
bia. new districts, now mines and un-
expected formations carrying valuable
minerals are being constantly discovered
by the prospector. Yet, for all he 10
doing, he receives little credit. Capital

A Notable Change.

$. M. Clark, in the Keokuk, Iowa,
Gate City, submits the following in re.
lation to the change noted at the White
House, while upon q recent visit. He
says: Mckinley starts off we'll. He
has made his relation to Washington
city and the people that of Lincoln, and
you can feel everywhere that an atmos-
| phere Of good will is pervsding all about
him. The people know as if by instinct
when president loves and trusts them,
and they are quick to respond to it. His
sending away the police and detectives
| and soldiers, his free admittance of
I every body, his daily walks among the
people on the avenues and streets, has
swept the heart Of Washington on his
side. Under Cleveland the official
austerity Of Washington has not been
very different from St. Petersburg and
the rule Of the czar. Mckinley has
brought back in day the free rule of
the people, and one can feel the differ
ence. 1t may not be wise from the
standpoint of personal safety, and yet it
is the highest wisdom. A man can die
but once. Cleveland, who sent a SUBJ
stitute to the war, guarded himself from
danger like the most timid OF the sui
tans. Mckinley marched in the ranks
as a soldier, and that cured the fear of
physical death. Now the people have
made him president, and he is going to
show that he trusts them. and he drops
the fear of physical death at the hands
Of crank out of the case because he is
, the chiefofseyenty millions Of free people
, who are not eranks. That is wisdom
and craftsmanship. If as an enlisted
soldier he was willing to take the risk
at any hour of four years to be killed
for the government of the people, why
as the four years of the presidential
head of all those people should he be
more cowardly? There are no murder
Gus passions Of any sort now left in our
politics. There would be no limit to
the rage of the seventy millions OF
Americans now il anyone should harm
Mckinley because he has dismissed
police and detectives and soldiers and
trusted his countrymen."

Bidding for the Senatorship

The writer was personally informed
by three of the five members of the
republican steering committee of the
late legislature while at Pierre Just
after the election of Senator Kyle, that
everyone of the pupulist candidates for
United States senator appeared before
the committee and promised to act with
the republican party in the organiza-
tion of the U. S. senate and to vote
for all administration measures, pro-
vided the republican members of the
legislature would throw them enough
votes to elect them to the coveted posi-.
ton. Loucks went further than any
other candidate. He promised to no,
only act with the republicans in the
United States senate. but also agreed to
fight Pettigrew at every turn, to convert
the Ruralist, his paper, into a republi-
can paper inside of year. and to stump
the state for the republican ticket in the
next two campaigns. Loucks promised
too much. The steering committee
were suspicious Of him and declined his
offer with thsnks.-Henry Independent.

DIR. McGillicudy Talks.

A Pioneer reporter gathers the follow
ing from an interview with DR.. McGilli
cuddy of the State School Of Mines
located at Rapid City, regarding the
attempt being made to break up the
present management and faculty:
ut is the same old story, an attempt
to get control Of the institution by a
small faction of mining spectators and
schemers. to prostitute a state institution
10 their own selfish ends.
"It was this same element that forced
the resignation of DR. Carpenter in old
days when he was dean, because he
would not lend the credit Of the institu-
tion to the floating Of mining schemes OF
doubtful merit.
"1t was the persistent interference
and partial control Of this same element
that later on resulted in the temporary
closing of the school and the dismissal
of the faculty.
ITO the credit Of Rapid City in can be
stated the above referred to individuals
are vastly in the minority, but at the
same time they remain possessed Of the
idea that the school is q local affair
established for their special benefit ana
use, and not an institution that, sup
ported by the state, should be credit
to the whole state, and above suspicion
or honest criticism.
"As to DR.. Flick's candidacy, which
has been on from the time Of the No
vember election, il is an honest personal
effort on his part from the standpoint of
the political spokesman, while as physi-
clan and surgeon, in professional ability
he has not his superior in this region,
his peculiar fitness for the position OF
president of the school is a matter to
be passed upon by the appointive power.
The parties originating the present mess
do not expect, however, to have him
apppointed-he is not their man.
AS regards the present incumbent he
has no. resigned, and does not propose
to. He is, however, thorough ly in
sympathy with the long suffering west
ern miner who prayed that the Grim
Reaper would for the good of the coun
try, transfer his attention for the chin
ing mark to the mining shark
The only fear is that the continued
interference of these parties will sooner
or later force the closing of the school
or its removal to q more healthy snc
congenial atmosphere. Pioneer.

Students Protest.

Twenty four students Of the State
School of Mines have signed q remons-
trance against the contemplated change
in the administration ofthat institution,
in which they express the belief that "a
change in the faculty of the school
would largely overthrow the results OF
the progress which the school has lately
made. it would 90 disarrange the work
Of the students (nany Of whom have no
time TO waste) as to render their return
to the school unadvisable. and that II
would render void al Of the uncom-
pleted ARRANGEMENTS for the welfare oi
the students by necsssitsting the sduca-
tion Of . new faculty to knowledge Of
the functions Of the school"

ward new evidences of legislative asin-
unity. Kansas is no worse than other
states in this respect Bills aimed

fine any widow or unmarried woman
who refuses an honorable offer of marri-
age. Minnesota comes forward with a
bill to prevent women from sending
flowers to criminals. Missouri wants to
fine railway hands S25 for flirting with

that all bulls horns shall be removed
