would be hard to fin d a preacher whose

Churches whose influence is not for the

An Ambitious Girl,
From the Nesc Era, Greensbur0, Ind.

This paper recently received information
that the ten year old daughter of Mr.. NJ. Ry-
bolt, of Hartsvlle, Ind, had been cured of q
severe illness. The case seemed more than
an ordinary one, and consequently special
representative was sent to investigate.
The Rybolts are well-to-do farmers living
about two miles southwest of Hartsville.
When the reporter called Mr.. and Mrs. Ry-
bolt and their daughter in question, Louise,
were at home, also the other three children.
Louise is the Oldest. She had been going to
school for four years, and was formerly in
very good health, but for the past year or
more she has been i'll.
A year ago the present winter it was
noticed that she was breaking down in
health. For time the cause could not be
ascertained, but it was finally decided that
it was from over-study. 1t has always been
the ambition of Louise to educate herself as
soon as possible, for she was anxious to
and to enter college of music, which her
parents promised she could do as soon as
she should finish the common branches.
How many children by diigent study to
achieve their ambitions are inJuring their
health. 1t was so in this case. The child
studied hard all day and often far into the
night, and had won the respect and admira-
ton of her teacher and of all the school by
her aptness, and rapid learning.
For some time Louise experienced an inds-
position which she would not make known
to her parents, for fear they would have her
remain from school. Her headache soon
became uncomfortable, and was noticed by her
teacher. She had by this time grown pale
and weak.
One day she became suddenly sick at school,
and was taken home.
For several weeks she suffered from fever
and the physicians could not rally her. A
neighbor urged them to try DIR. VI lliams'
Pink Pills for Pale People, which they finally

HEMAY MARRY LANGTRY.
Family of Louis Esterhazy Brings
Strong Pressure to Prevent His
Alliance With the
Fair Lilv

London, July 4.--Is Lily Langtry about
to marry Prince Louis Esterhazy?
That is the question which is giving the
last flip of sensa ton to the dying jubilee
season.
1t has been an open secret for eighteen
months or more that Prince Esterhazy
has been a devoted admirer of the Jersey
Lily, but the idea of matrimony has never
been entertained, as the Hungarian no.
bility is the least given to mesalliances of
any in Europe.
Louis Esterhazy is now the head of the
most illustrious house in Europe which
claims an unbroken descent from Paul Es-
terhazy, the supposed descendant of At
tia. Prince Louis is colonel of the i'm
perial bodyguard and military attachee to
the Austria Hungary embassy in London.
He succeeded his elder brother a few
years ago as the head of the family. He
is very wealthy, and is some 81 years of
age. He looks much older and has the
reputation of having gone the pace. In
appearance he is very Austrian, with
dark, bushy side whiskers and shaven
chin. He might be taken for a younger
brother of Emperor Francis Joseph. He is
a nephew of the celebrated diplomatist,
Prince Anthony Esterhazy. one time Aus
trian ambassador at London. 1t was an
ancestor of Prince Louis who in 1907, re-
fused the crown of Hungary.
Great pressure has been brought to bear
on Prince Louis to stop short of the hy-
meneal altar, but apparently without sue
cess. The Hungarian prince follows the
fair charmer about from racecourse to
racecourse in the most devoted manner.
In fact he could not be beaten by Freddy
Gebhardt in his halcyon days. 1t is hard
1y necessary to say Viennese society will
not receive or recognize the future Prin-
cess Esterhazy. They are the most ex-
elusive set in the civilized world. Many a
time and oft did the late Baron Hirsch
knock at it's door, but, Notwithstanding
the sponsorship of the Prince of Wales
and the Orleanist Princes, it was never
opened to him.
London society will also be hard nut
for the new princess to crack, as the Abb
ingdon Baird scandals will want lot of
living down in the minds even of the out
er fringe of the upper ten thousand.
The Topeka state journal., 1897-07-24

did with splendid results. Louise began get.
ting better at once, and by the time she had
consumed ten boxes of the pills she was cured.
" w hat you have written is true" said
Mrs. Rybolt. 4" 1 don't think Louise would
have recovered had it not been for DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People. She is
school.
'fWe are using these pills in our family
when we need medicine, and find that they
do more good than doctors medicines and
they are not nearly SO expensive. l would
be glad to recommend them to any one who
is sick, and can especially recommend them
in any case similar to Louise's.''
DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
have an enormous sale, and from all quarters
come in glowing reports of the excellent re-
suits following their use. An analysis proves
that they contain in a condensed form all the
elements necessary to give new life and rich.
ness to the blood and restore shattered nerves.
They are an unfailing specific for such dis
eases as locomotor ataxla, partial paralysis,
St. Vitus' dance sciatica, neuralgia, rheuma-
tism, nervous headache, the after effects of la
grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and sal
low compilations, that tired feeling resulting
from nervous prostratiOn ; all diseases result
ing from vitiated humors in the blood, such
as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. They are
also specific for troubles peculiar to females,
such as suPPresslons 1rregglIaarit1esA ia anS S1 al
and restore the glow of health to pale and sal
low cheeks. In men they effect radical cure
in all cases arising from mental worry, over
work or excesses of whatever nature. There
i'll effects fol- owing the use of this WON
derful medicine, and it can be given to chill
dren with perfect safety.
These pills are manufactured by the DR..
Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady,
n. Y, and are sold only in boxes bearing the
firms trade mark and wrapper at so cents
box or six boxes for $3.50, and are never sold
in bulk. They may be had of all druggists or
direct by mail from DIR. Williams Medicine
Company. The price at which these pills are
sold makes a course of treatment inexpensive
as compared with other remedies.

WESTERN ASS. STANDING.
sTRICKLETTs STAR WORK
Won the Game for Topeka Yesterday
-Emporia was N oisy.

Stricklett pitched game of ball
yesterday that would have been call
league. In the first seven innings but
two hits were made by the Emporia
players. Then Topeka had such lead
that it was not necessary to work so
hard and the wiry little twirle.- let up
somewhat.
1t was a good game all round. Hull
bert was back in the game and held
down third base. KinIer was moved UP
to second and played a good game. Har-
ry Colburn played in center, and though
little slow in handling the ball, play
ed fairly good game. The Topeka
management long ago found that Col
burn is one of the best all round men
on the team.
For five innings the team played an
even game. The score stood to 1 in
Topekas favor. The Emporia pitcher
had speed to give away and Topeka
players failed to connect with his curves
much better than the men from the
normal town did with Stricklett. But
in that fatal inning Ingram, who is sup
posed to be a dummy" went to talk
ing, and it is evident that he cannot
talk and pitch at the same time, and
Topeka scored nine times. But it was
not all Ingram's fault. His support was
about as miserable as is ever seen and
no one tried to catch anything.
Fatty" Faulker, who was behind the
bat for Emporia, brought his mouth
with him to Topeka, and he started it
early in the game, and after that lost
all control of the machinery and it did
not run down until the last man was
out.
The Emporia men kicked. Fatty
had about eight very able seconds, and
they thoroughly bambOozled the UNI
pire Lucas who is now with the En-
poria team, is their star player, and he
is developing into something of kick

stricklett's home run with the bases
full was the feature of the game, but
Topeka would have won anyhow.

WHY BROWN HATES SIMPSON
o. w. Hendae Says it is Because Jer-
ry Wears Good Clothes

o. w. Hendee of Hutchinson was in
the city yesterday on his way to st.
Louis. He was secretary of the Pop
ulist state convention at Abilene last
summer. Speaking of the political out
look, Hendee said:
1.-The fight being made by Governor
Brown against Jerry Simpson is the
height of foolishness. Browns princi-
pal antipathy to Simpson is caused by
jealousy. He hates the congressman be-
cause he dresses we'll. Simpson has
just as much right to wear good clothes
as Brown has to attempt to be gov
ernor. Simpson will be renominated
without opposition, and he will be elect
ed. 1 managed Simpsons campaign
last year, and 1 think L know what L
am talking about"
Mr. Hendee thinks that Governor
Leedy will be renominated, but believes
that superintendent Stryker will be
turned down and the position of state
superintendent given either to Demo-
crat or a Populist. He expresses no
opinion with reference to the renomina-
.-tiOn of Associate Justice Allen.
