PATRIOTIC DISPLAYS.

When the IntellIgencer's three tens
rang out the war signal yesterday af-
ternoon. many patriotic citizens re-
sponded By ilinsins out "old Glory" to
the breeze. from window sills and
house tops. The fre laddles at the
Eighth ward engine house made a
proper display Of American flags of all
sizes. and their example was soon fol-
lowed on the South Side. The move
ment as Il by common impulse, result
ed in general demonstration all over
s the city. To Squire Dunning belongs
the honor OF being the first and only
squire to decorate his office In the ma
tional colors. The squire, by the way,
is the only one in y. Lawyers Row"
neighborhood who hasn't organized a
militia company.

WELCOME LODGE ACTS.

I = .
A practical demonstration OF sympa-
thy in the impending conflict was made
last night by Welcome lodge, No. 6, A.
O. U. w, of this city. AT its regular
meeting, by unanimous vote, the
lodge decided to pay the dues and as
sessments OF the members who take up
arms for their country; and the lodge
further agrees to give their wives all
financial aid and assistance needed.
This lodge has $50 members, and at
last nights enthusiastic meeting there
were several SistersvlIlle visitors pres
ent E
The resolutions adopted were as fol-
lows:
Whereas, Tho President of these United
States has Issued n call for volunteers to
defend the honor of our country, and to
avenge the eG5 sailors who met death in
Havana harbor at the hands OF Spanish
assassins, therefore. be It ~ = II
Resolved. That Welcome Lodge No. G.

The action OF Spain in declining 10
receive the Presidents ultlmatum made
II a matter Of some difficulty to as.
certain just when che Intelllgencer's
ttree.tens war bulletin should ,bc
sounded by the capitol bell 1t was at
first thought that itwould not be sound
ed until the time limit OF the ultlmatpm
expired. but when an Associated Press
bulletin was received at O'Clock stat
Ing that the North Atlantic squadron
had sailed from Key West 10 blockade
Hayana, It was realized that a state OF
war actually existed without tho for
mality Of declaration by either ma.
ton. and no time was lost In commune
eating the Information to Assistant
Fire Chief Kurner. at the Atlantic en-
glne house, who at 4:o7 o'clock turned
in the three tens.
As. the long expected war signal was
slowly sounded. with q full minutes
pause after each ten, the effect upon the
people was marked. Thousands poured
out of offices, stores, factories and no.
tells. and everywhere the greatest OF
satisfaction and enthusiasm was dis
played the public having made up It's
mind that war was inevitable, and that
the sooner begun the better It would
be for everybody. AT the court house
and city building the patriotic janitors
hurriedly hoisted the Stars and Stripes
and the Intelligencer flag was flung to
the breeze few minutes later. In all
parts of the town there was a desire to
get in line with n patriotic display OF
some kind. Bunting and flags. big and
little, were in evidence on every hand
After the war signal had been sound
ed by the capitol bell, 1t was repeated
at the Seventh ward hose house on the
Island. and at others OF the fire de-
partment houses. so that within ten
minutes practically the entire popu-
lotion OF the city knew that war was
at hand. p
On every hand there were expressions
OF commentator for the Intelligencer's
enterprise In arranging for this novel
war bulletin. The attempts to saGrize
the idea. made by an evening paper,
were taken ut their true worth; Il was
purely case of envy. q

Oh! The Pain
OF Rheumatism!
Its TOrtures Known to
Thousands.

The aches and pains of Rheuma-
tism become a constant COM
panion to all who are victims of
this disabling disease. The peo-
pie generally are not acquainted
with the cause of the disease,
though thousands know its tor
lures.
Everybody should know that
Rheumatism is a peculiar acid con-
dition of the blood, upon which all
liniments in the world can have
no effect whatever. The best
blood remedy is needed-one which
is able to go to the very seat of the
disease and force it out. Swift's
Specific Is. S, S.) is the right
remedy for Rheumatism, because
it is the only blood remedy free
from mercury, potash and Other
minerals which intensity the dis
ease, causing stiffness of the joint:
and aching of the bones.
S. S. S. neutralizes the aciG
condition of the blood, and forces
out every trace of the disease. Il
reaches even the worst cases
where the doctors have made
cripples with their prescriptions
Of potash and mercury.

Coming from a paper that had to
be bought into line for the gold
standard by a postoffice, a paper
that up to two ago years could say
nothing too radical for the silver
cause and nothing too mean about
the gold standard the above is quite
''fresh." If all editors were like MUIR
dock money would rule sure enough
and liberty would speedily vanish.

More Donations Needed.

The union Thanksgiving service
held at the Congregational chuIct
Thursday at II O'clock was an inter
esting and profitable occasion. Oul
enterprlSing dry goods merchant
Mr.. Jacob Engie, enlhused the audi
ence by sending 10 a check for s6i.S5
which is 10 per cent Of his gross re
ceipts for Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday Of the past week. Mr.
G. II. Hunter, for the Hunter Milling
Co., gave 500 pounds Of aDur. These
were elegant gifts and from many
homes will 20 out kind thoughts and
pleasant remembrauces Of their gener'
OSity. These handsome donations
together with the collection of sl3.3C
will be wisely and judiciOusly used by
the Ministers union to aid the pool
Of the city, without relation to theiT
religious belief or church member
ship. Any person knowing Of needy
cases will please report.
The record is still open and if there
are other generous hearts who desire
to AID to this amount and aid in this
good work by gift of flour, coal Or
other articles OF produce, or the cash,
we would be pleased to have your
offering. The need promises to be
very great this winter.
