WANT TO BEAT HANNA
PLAN OF SILVER REPUBLICANS.
They VIII Put Forth Every Effort to Elect
Legislature In Ohio Opposed to
the Gold Leader.

| Denver. April pa special to the
Republican from Washington says:
The Silver Republicans are going to
open their campaign In Ohio with the
distinct purpose in view of defeating
Marcus Alonzo Hanna for the senator
ship to succeed himself Chairman
Towne will undoubtedly have charge
of the silver Republican campaign, and
| besides making many speeches himself,
| there Will be Il canvass by such Silver
Republicans as Senator Teller of Col
orado, Pettigrew of South Dakota, Can.
non of Utah. and ex-senator Dubois.
| The House will contribute Representa-
tives Shafroth of Colorado and Hart
man of Montana, while eminent speak
ers from other sections of the country,
not in public life. will be earnestly en-.
gagged in the Ohio campaign.
The Silver Republicans do not expect
to elect one of their own number to
the Senate in Ohio. They rather expect
that the Democrats will be in the ma
iority. but they do not care so much for
this, as their object is first to defeat
and to secure in his place an earnest
silver man. 1t is understood that the
Populsts will join the Silver Republi.
cans In this movement, and the expec-
tations are that the flIsiOnists will con.
troll the Ohio Legislature, and even If
the Democrats are in the largest pro.
portion. the man elected will owe his
success to the Silver Republicans and
POpulists.
Although no detailed plan of cam
paign has been formulated. It is under
stood thar the Democratic managers
Will welcome the help they are to re.
ceive from the Silver Republicans and
that, II possible. fusion state ticket

parties an equal show. II is also

William j. Bryan. and that he also
VIII devote great deal of time TO the
campaign in Ohio. As one of the Sil
yer Republicans put 1t, the campaign
VIII slZzie from the beginning.
The Ohio campaign this year is to be
made the opening gun of the silver
campaign in all the states next wear.
and for the election in 1900. The SII
yer Republicans desire to show their
strength and also their loyalty to the
cause of silver. They believe that n
silver victory in the Buckeye State will
have a tremendous influence in the fu.
iure.

The frequent newspaper accounts OF
accidental shooting are usually ac-
ccmpanied by the plea that the per-
petrator did not know the gun was
loaded. One efficient precaution, which
may serve as an example. was early
taught to ex-President Rutherford d.
Hayes. He had been promised a gun
on his fourteenth birthday on the con-
dltion that he should never point 1t,
loaded or unloaded, at any person. The
long-expeeted day arrived. A beauti-
full little rifle was placed in his hands.
and beside himself with JOY, the boy
took instant aim at the giver, exclaim-
ing, Look out, grandma, I'll shoot
you" The gift was Immediately re-
called for six months. by which time
the bitter but important lesson was
mastered.

pELUoE IN INDIAN TERRITORY.
Heavy Rainstorm Does Great Damage to
Railroads and Farms.


Dallas, Tex. April ga special to
the News from Eufaula. Indian Terri.
tory, says:
A series Of cloudbursts, heavy wind
and rainstorms occurred in and around
Euraula all of last hight and extended
over about 100 square miles OF terri
tory. The rain fell In torrents and was
the heaviest for fifty years. Farm
houses, fences ana crops were washed
away TO an extent amounting to q ca
lamity. The North Canadian railway
bridge is so badly damaged that no
trains can cross II, and it cannot be re-
paired for twcnty-four hours The
south'bOund passenger train had
scarcely passed IL ut o:i5 last night
when the south end gave way. Many
trains are tied up at this point, and
there is n series of wnshnuts for twenty
miles that are impossible for the pres.
ent. The damage to crops is beyond
estimate. Nearly every acre of ground
for many miles in all directions will
have to be replanted, and many farms
are entirely under water. Several GOV
cred wagons ti0ated down the south
Canadian river being accompanied by
small houses and household furniture
All ferryboats are washed away and
communication cut on. So far, no
news Of loss of life has been received
Much property was destroyed In Eu.
faula by the wind and rain. A cy.
clone passed about five miles south OF
town, destroying some houses and Kill.
ing some cattle, but the full losses can.
not be ascertalned AT this hour. The
rivers are now falling. but repairs can.
not yet I've made ON the railway bridge.

Athens. April %, Ga. m.-After the
bombnrdment of Katerina, on the Gulf
of Salonica. by the Greek squadron,
had put to flight two battalions of
Turks and the inhabitants of that
place. the Greek fleet landed n detach-
mcnt and found the Turks had left be-
hind them immense stores of provis-
ions destined for the armies of Edhem
Pasha. These valuable stores had been
left unprotected in the belief by the
Turks that n blockade of Greece by the
fleets of the powers would prevent the
Greek fleet from attacking the Turkish
towns on the Gulf of Snlonica, which
are near the railroad TO Salonica. and
which have been used as points to land
stores FOR the Turkish army and for
ward them to the front.
The capture of these towns, not To
mention the loss OF the stores. places
n serious difficulty in the path of Ed
hem Pasha. and II is stated here that
as soon as the Turkish commnnder-in.
chief heard the news of the capture of
Platamona and Katerina he dispatched

london Telegraph: During his vis-

Marlborough made a host of fricnds.
and ability to grasp easily the ma "
sided electrical questions won the Lon
est admiration of the practical yam
kee, whose idea of an English duke
differed in every way from the real
live British peer. Upon one occasion,
however, the old domineering spirit of
the duke gained the mastery. and he
paid for the temporary lapse from re-
publican manners with n few gocd
bruises and a rather severe shaking up
of the ducal frame.
The duke was making II tour Of in

CT, who was a typical yankee, born and
bred in the state of Connecticut.
Can you stop the car q%uickly?"

busy picking himself out of q small

in which the quick stoppagc of the car

he Killed ~ ca, In the Pulpit

Philadelphia Press: Perhaps the most
unique performance ever attempted by a
preacher of the gospel is that OF killing
cats in the pulpit to Illustrate sermons.
Yet this is what Rev. W. l.. Laufman.
pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church
at Cadillac, Mich. has been doing.
On Il recent Sunday morning, while in
the pulpit, he eXterminated two ats by
placing drops of nicotine on their tongues
to show the danger of using tobacco.
Again he killed cats By dosing them with
ance sermon, and at the same time he eX-
hibited the picked stomach OF a man
who has long been filling a d~ruukard's
grave.
In speaking of killing cats by nicotine
DR.. Laufman says: MY course Of pro-
cedure was decided upon because l de-
sired to bring to the attention of the men
of my congregation the truth of the harm

onstrated in our laboratories. l had no

A GOOD THING
ro,. Women to Remcmber.


That in addressing Mrs. Pinkham
they are communicating with a woman
"a woman whose experience in treat
ing woman's ills is greater than that Of
any living ptys.cian-male or female
A woma can talk freely to q woman
When it is revolving to relate her private
troubles to a man-basides, a man does
not understand-simply because he Is a
man.
Many women suffer in silence and
drift along from bad to worse, knowing
full well tina they should have immedi-
ate assistance, but a natural modesty
impels them to shrink from exposing
themselves to the questions and proba-
BILE examinations OF even their family
physician. 1t is unnecessary. Without
money or price you can consult a wom-
an, whose knowledge from actual ex-
perience is greater than any local physi-
clan living.
The following invitation Is freely Of
fered; accept it in the same spirit.
Women suffering from any form OF
female weakness are invited to freely
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at
Lynn. Mass. All letters are received,
opened, read and answered by ome
only. thus has been established the cter-
nal confidence between Mrs. Pinkham
and the women of America which has
never been broken and has induced
more than 100, 600 sufferers to write her
for advice during he last fou months
Out of the vast volume of experience
which she has to draw from, it is more
than possible that she has gained the
very knowledge that will help your case.
She asks nothing In return except your
good will, and her advice has relieved
thousands. Surely any woman. rich or

AN intermittent Luke.

GAINESVILLE, Fla, Sun: rayne's prairie,
three miles south of this city, covers an
area of $4,000 acres. A large portion of
the prairie is now covered with water,
but there are thousands of acres around
the borders OF the lake which has been
formed on which horses and cattle
Craze. There is no way OF estimating
the number of cattle. but there are
many thousands, and they are in fine
condition. The prairie. or savannah,
which it really is. occasionally goes
dry, the water passing out through a
subterranean passage called the sink.
Where the water goes to has never been
determined. When the sink is open the
lake goes dry. and when the outlet be-
comes gorged or choked a lake from five
to seven miles wide and about eighteen
miles long is formed. When the waters
Of the lake suddenly leave 1t, thousands
of alligators, snakes, fish and turtles
are left with nothing but mud for their
places Of abode. The fish and turtles
perish, but the saurians and reptiles
seek and find other quarters. For miles
along the northern border of the lake
here is a succession of sinks, averaging
depth all the way from twenty-five
to 100 feet. Subterranean passages run
in every direction, leaving the ground
in the shape Of a honeycomb. The
ground is liable to give way at any time,
creating IL new sink.
