THERE was evidently a screw
loose in the cabinet when Secre.
tary Long gave it out that the
"question Of the completely Of
Spain in the wrecking of the
Maine had been eliminated" II
has been claimed all along that
the president and the cabinet had
promptly given the public all the
information they received, had
taken the people entirely into their
confidence in all matters pertaining
to the disaster, but the public has
SO far failed to get on to the evi-
dence that eliminates the COM
plicity of Spain. So the public
mind is still open to conviction
either way.-State Journal.

The current week is Special Farmers
Institute week with The Iowa Home
stead, and the regular edition is accom-
panied by one of the monthly supple
mentary Institute numbers which The
Homestead has made so popular during
the past two years. In the March Spe-
cial, this week, Renting Farms" is
very thoroughly discussed by many far
mers and land owners, and specimens of
some of the best of the leases in use are
given. 1.-The Farmers Berry Garden I"
is also treated very fully by many far
mers and berry growers, and abundant
information as 10 what, how, and when
to plant is impaired. The home topic
tells how to make farm life more attrac-
tive to the boys and girls, and the entire
Special is one of the most interesting of
this very interesting series. The Home
stead itself is full of valuable, practical
matter, as usual. Every farmer in this
county should read it. Price $T, includ-
ing the monthly Specials. Address

RED WILLOW.

Miss Anna Rinck has had light at.

Mrs. Taylor is suffering from a bad
cold and lung troubles.
School at the Willow has closed to
check the spread of diphtheria.
Several converts were made during the
meetings at the Christian church, and
they were last Sunday immersed in the
Willow.
The report that Ed. Rinck had diph-
liberia was without foundation, also OF
Eddie Byfeld's illness with the same dis
ease. Eddie had slight sore throat.
The Utopian centipede!" That's
nasty of her-and all because we wanted
to know if there were no men in Utopia
that amounted to shucks. Fancy a CEN
tipede fitting on shoes! More likely to
crawl into one of Miss Antaltruria's shoes
to occupyit. No, we're not coming again.

beside, we might crawl into one of Cul-
tura's social egg baskets and cause pre-
mature hatch Of spring gossip, or worse
yet, we might encounter social critic,
and our manners may need shading; so
we shall stay right here in our .Utopian
hole, not even crawling out to talk over
the fence to dear Miss Antaltruria.
The Baker girls, Julia and Millie, were
in more hopeful condition. The mother
and three more of the children were re-
ported to have diphtheria, on Sunday
morning AS DR.. Gum is almost con-
stantly in attendance, their chances for a
speedy recovery will be much better than
it was for the girls, who were for several
days supposed to have only bad cold
and ordinary sore throat so that it was
only when home nursing failed that the
doctor was summoned. The neighbors
wait anxiously all news from the sick
room, and heartfelt sympathy is extend
ed to the suffering family, from the
friends who are powerless to aid them.

Joaquin MiIIer's Tomb.

On Rocky Hill, above his home at Oak.
land Heights, near San Francisco, Joa.
quin Miller, the poet of the Sierras, has
just completed a unique funeral pyre.
Upon it he has given orders that his body
shall be cremated, and the ashes be allow
ed TO mingle with the winds that sweep in
straight from the Golden Gate. The pyre
is solid mass Of masonry, ten by ten feet
and standing eight feet high. 1t is com
posed Of 620 huge granite boulders, set in
solid cement and laid with sklful hands to
endure for centuries. II is approached by
three immense steps laid across the entire
west frontage, and of sufficient height to
permit the bearers to place the body on
the top of the heap. The upper surface
is followed out 10 the depth of two feet in
the shape of coffin. Arrangements are
made for creating a strong draft so that
when the body is placed on a pile of wood
it will soon be reduced to ashes Six feet
away is huge boulder on which is paint
ed in large white letters: ITO the I'M
known"
This is to be Joaquin Mller's only grave
stone. Since his return from Alaska he
has talked much Of DEATH though he
seems little affected by the Klondike hard
ships. His mother, who lives in little
house near her son, regards his tomb as a
bit of eccentricity. She is well preserved
though over 70 years old, and is tenderly
cared for by her son.

The hurry and busue Of the housewife
Is extremely wearing upon the delicate or
ganism Of womanhood.
Her intense earnestness In whatever she
undertakes, tempts her constantly to 20
beyond her strength.
Mrs. L. E. Browning, Of Pueblo, Colo,
was one who did this.
Eight years ago." said she, any nus
band died and was left with three child

The burdens of life fell heavily upon
me, but determined to make the best of it.

self, and undermined my health.
was very i'll about two years ago with
blood poisoning, caused by an abscess that
had not received proper treatment.
The disease settled in my throat for a
time, causing intense agony.
Then inflammatory rheumatism set in.
For four months and half was a prisoner
in my room, most Of the time confined to
my bed.
"My hands were swollen so that could
not feed myself, and the swelling in my feet
and ankles would have made walking i'm
possible if had been strong enough.
One day, after considerable treatment,
my physician brought me box of pills.

thing that will act at once, and this is the
best medicine for that purpose

opened the box and showed them.

Yes he replied, these are DR.. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People, but you need
not be alarmed, they are not phys~, and
my word for it, they'll do you good
before | had been taking them a week
| noticed great improvement in my con-
dition. Soon my rheumatism was gone.
81 grew stronger each day and now am
IN the best of health.
IL consider DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People, the best tonic.
" A friend not long ago was telling me
OF her mother who is at a critical period In
her life.
"She was subject to terrible fainting
spells, and the entire family would work
over her.
"Dr. Williams Pink Pills have not only
stopped the fainting spells, but given her 50
much strength that she is able to take up
LIES duties again"
To more highly endorse her words, Mn,
Browning made affidavit before George ".
Gill, Notary Public.
All diseases arising from an impoverished
condition Of the blood, and most all come
from that, are cured by DR.. Wil1ams' Pink
Pills for Pale People.
They act directly upon the blood. Bold

comes rich and red, the various organs are
nourisfs u and stimulated to activity in per-

Charged With Bigamy.
J. Is. Norton, Representative from Waits
field, Is Under Bonds of $1,000.

Jesse b. Norton, 3S who was elected
representative from Waitsfield as an indie
pendent Republican, has been indicted by
the Washington county grand jury on the
charge of blgamy. He is under bonds in
the sum of $1,000 and will probably be
tried at the present term Of court. He is
member of the mercantile firm of Norton
" Boyce. He was married when very
young in Ferrisl urg to Annie Mooney
He lived with her at Richmond II years.
After coming to Waitsield he became en-
amored of Miss Genie Boyce, who WAS EN-
ployed in the store with him. He went to
Oklahoma, and returned after an absence
of several months with an alleged divorce
in his pocket, and shortly after married
Miss Boyce, with whom he has lived the
past three years. The question of his
guilt hangs on the legality of his oklahoma
divorce. He declares that he is innocent
He has engaged W. \. Lord of Montpelier
to defend him. The present wife was for
merly well known as a contributor 10 news
papers and magazines. Mrs. Norton No,
lives with Mr.. Norton's parents in Rich
mond, who evidently do not approve of the
action of their son. Two of the leading
men of Waitsfeld promptly became surety
for Norton. The claim has been made that
the charges are the result Of political spite
growing out of Norton's election. He de
feated the regular Republican nominee.

A Hurricane Drove the water from the
Ocean Back over Hundreds of Acres
---S0OO,OOO Damage at Brunswick.
hurricane prevailed off the coast of
Georgia Sunday. The wind blew 90 to 70
miles an hour at Savannah, but the city es
capped without serious damage. The water
rose as it did in the great storm of 1893,
being eight feet above high tide. A large
section of territory was submerged. The
loss to the rice growers will exceed $780,
600, and there was large damage to ship
ping interests and other property. There
we're several fatalities and the loss of life
may have been very great on some of the
sea islands from which no official reports
have been received. At Brunswick a
tidal wave was driven in from the sea
and inundated for an average depth of five
feet practically every business house and
warehouse in the city. Conservative esti-
mates place the property loss at $500, 900.
The Mallory steamship and Southern rail
way docks were under water five feet In
the residence section of the city the water
was from two to eight feet deep. While
the water was doing its damage under
meath the wind was playing tavoc over
head. Several fronts of brick buildings
were blown partly out and the rain poured
through in torrents.

was cleared up by the efforts of a profes
