W.. Nelson was hanged here at ten
o'clock to-day for the murder of Charles
Perry, his friend, in Josephine county,
in March, 1896. About 500 people wit

On the scaffold Nelson said:
II am guilty of killing Perry and am
sorry for it My God have mercy ON

Perry vas so years of age and came

the Starving Miners of Illinois.
CHICAGO, July 2.-W. D. Ryan, secre-
tary of the United Mine Workers of
Illinois, has written an open letter to
United States Senator Mason, in which
he says:
THE stand taken by you in behalf
of the patriots in Cuba deserves the
commendation of all liberty-loving
people, but let me call your attention
to the condition of so, 900 of your con-
stituents-the coal miners of Illinois.
The insane competition inaugurated
by the coal operators has brought
about a condition of suffering
and restitution which was never
equalled. We have been forced to &C
cept reduction after reduction until
the price now paid is SO low that
miners cannot earn an average of
seventy-ive cents a day. and the mines
work only half time. Taking an aver
age of a dollar a day and three days
work a week, a miner earns Sl2 a
month. With a family of five-a fair
average-the wife has less than three
cents for a meal, to say nothing of
clothes, rent, etc.
Il doubt if any more lives have been
lost in Cuba since the insurrection
commenced than in the mines of Hill
nois during the same time; and 1 am
certain there are no more women and
children hungry in Cuba at present
than among the families of the miners
of Illinois. Do something to put the
idle miners of Illinois to work at a
fair rate of wages and 1 will guarantee
that every miner in Illinois will con
tribute at least n days wages every
month for the benefit of the down
trodden people of Cuba"

The Cheerful Woman.

There are emergencies in every
household. which call for the dis
play of a statesman's skill. The
cheerful woman is preeminent on
such occasions. She conquer5 the
grim uncle or the dyspeptic cousin
with her infective cheerfulness, and
her servants recognize her as their
friend and ally in all matters that
are essential to their welfare. The
length of time she keeps her SER
wants is a source of wonderment to
her less fortunate friends, but the
secret of it is her own winsome dis
position. She soOthes the tired
worker with word Of kind com
mendatiOn where another might
make querulous complaint. When
direction is needed she delivers it in
such gentle albeit firm manner
that is has no sting Of reproOf.
This gentle, tactful woman is not
afflicted with work that is from "sun
to sum-" or that is "never DONE"
She does not moralize much, per-
haps, but by some means she man
ages to accomplish a great deal OF
work and have plenty of time at her
command. 1t is by means of that
same cheerfulness of disposition.
There is less delay in executing her
commands, and she possesses the
gift of timing her turns" so that
sometimes it seems as if the "fairies
did help her." And the fairies OF
gentle breeding and of kind heart do
help her. Thus philosophers the

No
Theory Here.

The greatest claims for S.S.S. (Swift's
Specifc) are made by those whom it has
cured, and after all the most valuable
reputation is one which is given by those
who speak from experience. We could
publish a page of what we claim S.S.S.
will do, but the people prefer to read
of what it has done, and hence we give
the testimony Of reputable, well-known
people in different parts of the country,
who gladly tell of how S.S.S. has cured
them of blood diseases, after trying
other treatment in vain.
No wonder S.S.S has such staunch
friends. The experience of those who
take it to-day will be the same as of
those who twenty years ago found it the
only cure. Blood diseases are obstinate,
aud cannot be cured by one medicine
in dozen which claims to cure them;
so when S.S.S. is taken with satisfactory
results, after a disappointing expert
ence with other remedies, it is not
strange that it has grateful friends by
the score.

who looks with apprehension toward
approaching old age, there is cheer
I'M the opening stanza of Rabbi Ben
Ezara, that beautiful poem into
which Robert Browning has put so
many thoughts. If she has to look
back upon a youth of neglected op-
portunities and wasted days, there
is infinite comfort in the knowledge
that the last of life may atone in a
measure for the first; that it is still
possible to make old age good and
beautiful if she will have faith and
take heart. Or, if life for her has
been full of striving toward the true
and the pure, there is inspiration in
the thought that, even though the
first part has been of account, the
last may be Of more; that it is pos
sible to live more ana more grandly

Preparation for Sleep.

Sleep is a state requiring careful
preparation, without which its best
results can not be obtained, writes a
physician in the Philadelphia Times.
Most women labor under the delu-
sion that sleep is a natural function
and that slumber is state that re-
quires no preparation. Given a bed
and certain hour of the evening,
and sleep follows, is their simple
creed. AS matter of fact, they
find that they do not always sleep
when they think they should. In

as quiet as the neighborhoOd will
permit. It must be we'll ventilated.

''DOn't.'

A mother who found herself be-
coming peevish and eXacting, says
a writer in Harper'S Bozdr, asked
sister who was visiting her to keep
strict account of the number of
times in one day in which she (the
mother) said DON'T" to her four
children, respectively ten, seven,
four and two years of age. The con
scientious sister-in-law kept care
full memorandum, and when the
children were in their beds fer the
night showed the tired mother the
record. From eight in the morning
until the same hour in the evening
she had said DON'T" 81 times. AT
ter serious thought the mother came
to the conclusion that at least one
half of those "dOn'ts" had been un-
necessary. She had grown into the
habit of uttering the prOhibitOry
word on all occasions. The nervous
mothers of our day would do we'll to
fellow her example and limit the
number of their "don'ts," which are
often spoken with regard to inno-
cent, although perhaps noisy, amuse-
ments.

Mr.. William Sewers, of Bradford Ohio,
was cured by S.S.S. ten years ago of
severe blood poison, and writes that to
this day no sign OF the dreadful disease
has ever returned. He says:
az had terrible blood disease which
is considered incurable, and was treated
for long time by the best physicians,
but they did me no good. The disease
seemed to get firmer hold on me, and
attacked my tongue and throat, which
were soon full of vile ulcers.
81 changed doctors several times, and
afterwards took nearly every blood rem
edy on the market, without the slightest
benefit. After FIVE years of treatment
which did me no good whatever, was
induced to try SIS. This remedy
proved itself equal to the case, for in a
few months I was entirely cured and my
skin was perfectly clear and smooth.
could hardly believe that the cure was
permanent, but ten years have elapsed
and no sign of the disease has yet ap-
peared."
S.S.S. is a sure cure for, Cancer, Ca
tarrh, Contagious Blood Poison, Scrof-
ula, Rheumatism, Eczema, and all other
blood diseases, which other remedies
have no effect whatever upon. 1t is
