A SCHOOL GIRLS BATTLA

Miss Emma Rybolt, progressing school
Kirl of Milford, Ind, is of more than usual
Intelligence, and is ambitious to rise In the
literary world.
"in the fall Of 1885," said Mrs. Rybolt,
Emma was taken i'll. She YVES q close
student and her work began to tell on her.
She grew weak, pale and nervous, and COM
planned Of pains in her back, Ghost and
limbs. A few weeks passed and she grew
worse. The doctor said she was victim of
nervous prostration, and should have been
taken from school weeks earlier. She
gradually grew worse, her nerves were SO
tense that the least noise irritated her, and
she had fever and continual twitching
in her muscles. The symptoms were much
like St Vitus' dance.

Pink Pills for Pale People, andI decided to
try them.
EMMA had no faith in proprietary
medicines but tried the pills, and after
taking a dozen doses, she began to improve.
1t was about the first of April when she
began, and by the middle of May, after
taking about eight boxes, she was entirely
cured"
while ill, she lost twenty-eight pounds,
but now weighs more than ever before.
Her nerves are strong and she is in per-
feet health. We are all confident that DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People cured
her, and oheerfully recommend them in
all similar cases. "MRs e. A. RYBoLT."

Our American Policy.

The policy of this country regarding
foreign complications seems likely to
remain conservative. The Monroe
doctrine will be sustained. but patience
and prudence in official quarters will
restrain public opinion. The wisest
and most prudent course for the rheu-
matte and the malarious is to use
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.

BY command of the emperor. and for

THE BOISE SCANDAL.
Later Developments Are Rattle.
Against the Compartments.
Especial to The Herald)

Against the Complainants.
Especial to The Herald)
Boise, Ida, April I'm the alleged
criminal assault case that has been
given much prominence in the press
dispatches from this city in the past
week, in which Joseph Spiegel and Will
liam Maxey figure as the defendants,
the evidence is turning out rather badly
for the accuserS of the young men.
Mr.. Spiegel is the youngest son of D.
Spiegel, one of the. pioneers of Boise,
and is very highly connected in Salt
Lake, Portland and San Francisco.
His many friends there will be glad to
learn that there is a favorable change
in public opinion concerning their con-
nection with the affair. Miss Jeffries
admitted on her REORGANIZATION that
she and another young lady came twice
to the store where young Spiegel- is
employed to see him; that she was a
total stranger to him and introduced
herself. It now develops that the
gum which. was supposed to contain
the dangerous drugs was gum which
the girls purchased and paid for, was
taken from unbroken packages from
the common stock of gum in the store,
and that neither of the accused had
anything to do with the gum and knew
nothing about it. The theory of force
relied o. by the state has thoroughly
gone to pieces, Judge Blake himself,
before whom the preliminary examina-
ton was held, saying that he took no
stock in it, and held the young men
only because the girl was one year
younger than the legal age of consent
in this state. The defense offered to
prove other escapadeS of a similar
character on the part of the girl. No
evidence was introduced for the de-
Tense, and it is rumored here that a
complete alibi will be proven at the
trial

AMONG THE TRAVELLERS

Colonel H. ]. Budd. of Knoxville, Ia,
who was in Salt Lake last year to raise
funds for the silver cause is on his way
here again on a similar errand, and will
begin an extensive silver campaign in
Oregon.
Colonel Budd win be Joined by W. H.
Harvey the latter part of this month in
Colorado, where they will make speeches
jointly, to which admission Will be
charged and the funds devoted to cam
paign purposes this fall. They will arrive
in Salt Lake on about the 18th of May,
and an effort will be made to have them
make some speeches here. They may also
be induced to speak in Ogden and in one
at least of the large mining camps. From
here they will go 70 Idaho. where they
will make some silver speeches. and will
then go to Oregon. and spend about 80
days in making an extensive campaign for
silver. They will remain in Salt Lake for
two or three days before going into the
northwest.
Among the eastern arrivals yesterday
was Mr., o. d. Frary, manager of the
Walter A. Wood Harvesting company
Lake about conference time, as he then
comes in touch with representatives of
the great agricultural interests of the
west. with whom his house transacts
so much business. Mr.. Frary'S represent
tatives here are the Coop Wagon
4 Machine company, and in company
with the manager of that concern. MIR.
George T. Odell he vest arday made calls
on our principal places of business. Mr..
Frary states that business in the line
of agricultural implements this spring is
much heavier than last year, and ii is his
belief there will be a boom in all similar
lines in case the country goes to war
Mr.. Frary says he is specially pleased to
note that there are great signs of a
business awakening in agricultural por-
tons of Utah this spring, and that his
house is sending 80 10 20 carloads of ma
chinery out in anticipation of the seasons

and is much more marked in the country
than the cities All seem to agree that
IL is the duty of the United States to de-
clare for immediate intervention. while
many favor an out and out declaration of
war, without any intermediate steps. The
people seem to be growing very impatient.
Sheep men are beginning to shear and
a good clip is looked for everywhere. The
Wyoming wool growers are very well
the reports of losses during the
cold snap having been greatly eXaggerat-
ed. The cattlemen, too. are in high
spirits. Prices are high and the growers
can sell all the stock they have.
There is considerable excitement at
HALEY over the big strike in the Gold
Belt. The people of Weiser are certain of
a railroad to the Seven Devils country.
New York and other capitalists have Sc
cured the big copper properties there, and
believe the Seven Devils will give the
country another Butte.
AT Rawlins, all are interested in the
Grand Encampment. which is considered
a great district. The discoveries of CO.

maintains the closest secrecy, and pre-
tends that his two secretaries and large

The disputes in the Welsh coal trade,
arising from the mems proposal to aooi-
sh the sliding scale, promises to be
serious. Although neither a strike nor
a lockout has yet been ordered, 40 col
lefies are closed, and $4,000 men have
been thrown out of work, owing TO the
miners refusing to give the leaders fur
tber time to negotiate with the employ
ers. About 10000 persons are directly
concerned in the struggle.

dented, as can be gagged from the hg-
