RIBLE EXPERIENCE.
The Difference Between
Spain's Brutality to
Women and Anglo
Saxon Humanity.

ishAmerican war, one of those which
best illustrates the Spanish character, is
the story of a wealthy woman refugee
driven from Santiago by the fear of bonn
bardment returning again to find her
nome and property pilaged and destroyed
by soldiers of her own race and blood.
Imagine, If you can such an occurance in
an American or an English army.
Imagine any one of the hundred inhu-
manities and atrocities toward women
which characterize the Spanish race being
duplicated under the rule of an Anglo
Saxon nation! Impossible!
No wonder so many frightened refugees
ook upon the American army as their

the position Of steward at the Profile
House, Franconia Notch, N. H., and
in winter is steward of the St. James
Hotel, Jacksonville, Florida. He says:
"My wife had a severe attack Of rheu-
matte fever. Her feet and ankles were
terribly swollen and she suffered intense
pain. We knew about the merits OF
Hoods Sarsaparilla, and she concluded
she would try it. The first effect OF the
medicine was to increase her appetite and
she soon had more strength. Then the
swelling In her feet and ankles began to
diminish and the pain gradually left her.
She kept on taking Hoods Sarsaparilla
until she was completely cured. She has
had no symptoms Of rheumatism since"

DEBATED BY a WoMAN.
Schedule of the Entire Santa Fe sys-
tenn Deranged by a Shopper
Who Found a Bargain.


Inc Kansas City Journal says: A
woman's weakness for the attractions
or bargain counter caused the delay
yesterday of a special train carrying leo
people from Boston on a Raymond
Whitcomb excursion to Old Mexico; al
so she disarranged the train schedule
over the Santa Fe, from Kansas City to
Albuquerque, and caused numerous
strong men in the party to swear heavily
or walk the depot platform in a rage.
The train reached Kansas City at ten
o'clock over the Rock Island road, and
was turned over to the Santa Fe to go
out at 100.
Some of the passengers drove up town
to look about a bit. One of the big dry
goods houses had a particularly fine
line of new colors in dress goods tempt
ingly displayed that caught one wom-
ans eye.
The carriage was stopped and she
went in. The stock was so large and
the pretty designs so numerous she was
kept quite busy for a time, and when she
finally completed her purchases, and
reached the depot, it as 12:40
My gracious! What's all this fuss
about ?" asked the cause of the delay, as
she tripped over the platform, her arms
loaded with bundles, and the color in
her cheeks heightened by the pleasure
that comes to a woman who has found
an article marked down to SO cents from

Really, didn't think it was such
long time" she added.
And nobody had the heart to tell her
the wait seemed like an eternity.

as the Populists carried the county for

There has been considerable kicking
over the sale of penitentiary coal,' said
Senator Ryan, but there is not enough
of illfeeling to seriously affect Leedy'S
interests in the mining territory. If At

Merit Means Money Made.

You cannot advertise money out of
peoples pockets all the time; you may
do it now and then, but if you don't
give them something of absolute merit
in return, advertising will not prove
successful. The kind of advertising
that pays is advertising a good thing.
As it has merit the people Will use it
again and again. Never has this been
better illustrated than in the great sue
cess of Cascarets, candy cathartic that
we have lately been advertising in this
paper. All druggists call Cascarets, re
peaters, that is, people buy them, and
buy them again and recommend them
to their friends Cascarets are guaran-
teed to cure constipation or money re
funded and are a delightful laxative
and liver stimulant; the best medicine
ever made. We recommend all our
readers to try them.
