war and the captivity Of the Italians. l
am bound to say that l am no longer
indignant but simply disguised at
what | hear each day about them. Out
of respect for a nation with whom we
were friendly I should have been sill
ent if the Italians had not shown, in
regard to ourselves, the most repre-
hensible conduct. Have they not
confessed that, had they entered Adds
Ababa VIGOROUSLY, they would have
given no quarter to any Frenchman,
not even the small tradesman? They
added, moreover, with an ironlcal air
that they would not have inflicted the
death penalty on the French women.
Events did not permit them to accom-
plish their wishes Although they
came to the capital as prisoners, they
do not seem to realize it; some OF their
officers were not ashamed to take part
in the celebration of the anniversary
of the battle of Adowa: others wore
as cuff buttons coins with the image or
Menelik. 1t was Albertone himself
who. drinking toast to the health
of the great emperor, turned toward
one of our fellow-countrymen and said:
Are we not COURTHOUSE to which the
Frenchman replied: Mon dieu, sir!
never saw a Frenchman drinking to
the health of Emperor William This
same Albertone received from the en-
peror a music box, which Menelik had
loaned him to amuse him. On the
departure of the general the music box
disappeared, probably carried off by
some subordinate. The empress asked
if people had the habit of doing such
things in Europe. Not everywhere,
was the answer she received. 1t seems
that these Italians do not have much
confidence in their fellow-countrymeD.
The officers asked the Abyssinians to
give them guards to prevent their men
from DESERVING while going back to the
coast"
This letter aroused in France great
resentment toward Italy and the 1tal-
ian army, and it's writer at once became
a popular idol though he was still far
from home. The announcement that
the Italians had intended an awful fate
for these French women found in Adds
Ababa had they entered that city as
conauerors, made French blood boil.
French ire was soon directed toward
Rome rather than Berlin. But if the
letter aroused a storm in Paris. it Gre
ated a simeon in Rome. An insult had
been put on the entire Italian army
such as required blood to wipe out.
Certain Italian papers replied to Prince
Henri's letter with epithets that were
too low for reproduction in the Paris
ian press.
Then the Italian officers jus. back
from their captivity at Uarrar drew lots
to determine which Of them should de-
mand reparation from Prince Henri.
The choice fell upon Lieutenant PM,
the brother of the celebrated maitre du
armes. Lieutenant PM, in spite Of the
stock from which he comes, is physi-
cal weakling, and moreover he is far
below Prince Henri in rank. Hence
this challenge was overlooked. But
when one written by the Prince Of
Tourin reached the distinguished
Frenchman it was quickly accepted.

Viola, Olmstead Co., Mimi,

"A little over ten years ago discovered
that the joints of my fingers were enlarg-
ing, and very sore. l consulted many
physicians, with some slight relief at times
from pain, but the joints grew larger and
larger, and my neck, shoulders and limbs
were so stiff that could not move them
without great pain. My toes were swollen
drawn, and the muscles SO contracted that
could not use them. l had given up all
hope of cure. when my attention was called
about three years ago to the wonderful
cures affected by the use of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People, and procured
a supply.
1T was not long after l began taking
them before experienced considerable re.
lief, and continued using them according
to directions until have taken altogether
about three dozen boxes. My fingers are
now straight and flexible, and the joints
reduced to their normal size, the rheumatic
pains are almost gone, and now, though I
always keep Pink Pills by me, l ne .er use
them unless catch cold, or get wet through.
l am willing that this testimonial shall be
published in order that the extraordinary
curative powers of DR.. Williams medicine
may be known to rheumatic sufferers.

MONTANA WOMEN DECLARE War
ORGANIZE A NEW PARTY TO
FIGHT FOR SUFFRAGE.
Will Take a Hand In the Election of
the Next Legislature, But Want
No Offices Themselves.


Helena, Mont Nov. 10.-The equal suf-
fragists of Montana, assembled in con-
ventton in the capitol today, assumed the
aggressive by organizing political party,
with the one object of bringing tine ques-
ton of equal suffrage before the people.
The last legislature, by a big majority.
refused to allow the question of suffrage,
which involves a change of the constitu-
ton, to be voted upon, and the women
have decided TO take part in the election
OF the next legislature, if possible.
The new party will not be in the field
for offices. but will devote its entire at
tention toward the election of men to the
legislature who favor the movement. 1t
Will work against those who are opposed
to equal suffrage. The new party Will be
called the Equal Suffrage party, and its
platform, which was adopted today, con-
tains but one plank. and it demands I'M
equivocaIly the Acknowledgement of
women.
The organization of the party through
out the state was left to a central COM
mittee, composed of aggressive women
from each county. Mrs. Ella Knowles
Haskill, eX-assistant attorney general, q
well-known figure in Popuiist politics of
this state. is chairman of the committee,
and she will direct the work of the new
party from it's headquarters in Helena.
