President Mckinley has been
making some magniticen in the
West. He is Il patriot of patriots.
He fought for the Union during
the dark days OF the Rebellion.
Knowing what war it, he did his
best to bring Spain to terms with
out Il resort TO arms. but when
Spain chose warfare he sent the
army and navy against her and
won a stupendous victory.
Glory to the American soldier
and sailor!
What we have won we must keep!
Wherever the American flag has
been planted it must remain. That
is the sentiment of the Republican
party of Pennsylvania, the senti-
ment of the Republican party of the
Union.
And yet in this magnificent State
of ours, the great keystone of the
arch, there are men who call them
selves Republicans who, because
of their hatred of single man, are
willing to hand the State over to
the foes of Mckinley and thus null
lily all that has been accomplished.
We call Pennsylvania Republi-
cans to stand by their President.
The war may or may not be over,
but if it is over, vast problems still
remain to be worked out. Govern
ments are to be established in the
captured islands OF the seas. Com
merce is to be extended. Merchant
vessels are to be constructed.
Trade is to be enlarged. Can these
great questions be treated intelli-
gently unless President Mckinley
has the full backing OF Pcnnsylva-
MIA and the other great Republican
States? The leader of the Demo-
cratic party in Congress, Mr.. Bailey
wonld hand every island back to
Spain. Elect him speaker of the
House, elect Democrat to the
United States Senate from Penn
sylvania and turn the now evenly
balanced Senate over to the oppo-
sition, and down would come the
American flag and back would go
the islands
All these great questions are
ahead of us. ''They will not be
solved in day. says President
Mckinley. Patients will be re-
quired: patients combined with
sincerity of purpose and unshaken
resolution to do right, seeking only
the highest good of the Nation and
recognizing no other obligation,
pursuing no other path but that of
duty
How is that path to be pursued
how are we to maintain our rights
If we give hostile Congress to
Mckinley, if Pennsylvania and
New York go Democratic? We
quote from President Mckinley 4,
speech the following paragraphs
weighted down with significance !:
WHO WILL DARKEN THE
COUNSELS OF THE REPUBLIC
IN THIS HOUR REQUIRING
THE UNITED WISDOM OF
ALL?
Who will darken the counsels?
Mr.. jerks will. Elect him as
Governor, elect Democratic Con-
gressmen, elect a Democratic U. S.
Senator, and you join with jerks,
the foe Of Republicanism, in dark
ening the counsels of the Republic.

Their tense faces and steciy eyes were SET

As the time drew nigh when escape

the last train and by main strength land

follow he was attacked from the flank II
pushed m%omentarily from his position by
a wild, desperate fellow, who sprang to
the car, leaving h wailing and deserted
wife behind.
Kendrick saw the woman's peril. He
lifted her in his brawny arms, swung her
around and made her the means of clear
ing Il space. Then he sprang forward and
deposited her on the platform just as the
bell tolled and the train slowly started to
move. He rushed forward and was halt
ed by a stalwart guard, who ordered him
back. He demonstrated and struggled,
telling the man that an unprotected girl
was in that train and he must go to her
aid.
Cant help that. You don't 60. No
body leaves this place until the quaran-

Infatuated by the resistance. He rushed

tossed the big man to one side and top

Out into the night rushed the train,
Headed for the North, the people ON board
glanced f~earfully behind them and hone
fully to the front. Miles were eaten up
before another town was neared. As the
engine was rushing and shrieking along
there was n sudden grinding of the
wheels, n few painting snorts and the long
train came to a |standstill. All along the
sides We're armed men peering fearfully
at the frightened people in the cars.
You can't stop here" said their lead
er. Just you run through as fast as
steam will let you. Nobody gets off"
rs that you, HankY' said a man, joy
fully, as he stepped to the platform and
was about to descend to the ground.
Glad it's you. l want to come to your
house. The wife and children are with
me-"
Get back there. Didn't you hear me
say nobody alights. Don't care if you are
my brother. Stay on that train or I'll
fill you with buckshot," was the grim
reply, as the man covered his shrinking
brother with his ready rifle.
Then on again rushed the train, the &C.
cupants filled with an even greater ter
ror. Where could they go? Who would
receive them? All the country was
aroused. On all sides cleaned the guns
which held them at bay. Death might be
on the train. 1t was certainly out of II.
On the rear platform a distracted girl
struggled to a sitting posture as the train
resumed its rapid flight. Two men stand
ing huddled with the crowd near nv saw
her. She was i'll. She might be suffering
with the dread scourge. Must Others
suffer? No!
With a common impulse they rushed to
where Mamie Butler lay half-extended on
the platform, lifted her suddenly in their
arms and shot the fragile form ont into
the wilderness, rocking little of the almost
certain death their cowardly and brutal
act would entail.

mob of battling, terrorized human beings,
almost devoid now of all scmblance to hui
mainly. Buffers influence made it posi-
bic for them to hope to wait until the last
train should leave. Then he determined
that his child and her lover should race
with death to a more northern city, where
relatives would receive the girl and she
and Kendrick might be safe from the cpl
demic.
All day long and until nearly the hour
for the establishment of the quarantine
the people rushed madly to the depot or
out into the gulf. Every conveyance was
impressed into service to remove loved
ones from under the dreadful shadow,
Calmly the natives waited the inevitable.
Theirs was a nature to wait and pray and
keep strict watch and ward that the how
ering pestilence might be limited to their
own own and moi rush unchallenged into
the interior or even invade the States

jack had been an afiliction of Dixieland.
1t was soon to show its horrid front north
of the Ohio and in cities where its pres
ence was never thought possible.
AS the mob grew in numbers with ev-
cry train, men, long, lank but sinewy,
types of the coast Southron, dropped
from the incoming train. Rifles and shot
guns were in their hands. Silently and
steadily they strobe over to the city hall,
where they conferred with the Mayor,

Danger Turks In Many OF the So-Called
Headache Remedies

Danger Turks In Many OF the So-Called
Headache Remedies.
In his quarterly report on the health
OF the borough of Chorley, Lancashire,
DR.. J. A. Harris, the medical officer
for the district, calls attention to the
indiscriminate sale and purchase of
the various so-called headache pow
ders. He states that under his direc-
ton the county police obtained six or
seven samples from different shops
in the town and had them submitted
to analysis. In every case the guam
tity Of the active ingredient was found
to- be In excess of the maximum dose
of the drug allowed in the British
pharmacopoeia. These remedies be-
long to the class of the analgesics, the
members Of the group in common use
for this purpose being acetanaliIe or
phenyliacetamide, phanazone, and
phenacetin or t-phenetidin.
Their properties were fully considered
in the section Of pharmacology and
therapeutics at the meeting at Edin-
burgh, where Professor Stcckman
Glasgow opened a discussion on the
"Therapeutic Value Of Recent Syn
thetic Analgesics; Their Benefits and
Attendant Risks There was a general
expression Of opinion that these
drugs required to be handled with the
greatest possible care, and that
slight error of judgment with regard
to dosage might be followed by dis
astrous results. All these. substances
depress the hearts action, and in toxic
doses diminish the force of the respir-
atory act. The danger is not obviated
by selling poisonous drug under
fanciful name.
