He WAS REVENGED.
Thought He Had Run I'm on High
Toned People, But Came Out
Unscathed.

A young man about town was caught in
one of those sudden downpours of rain that
have lately astonished the natives He was
on Euclid avenue at the time, and, obeying
the first impulse of self-rrotection, ran up
the nearest walk and placed himself meath

early in the evening, and yet the house, he
noticed was quite brig with lights. 1t was

the front door while the rain came down in
wild gusts.
Pretty soon the door was opened and

at the stormbound youth and he looked at

She stopped short when she saw that she

The magnificent matron looked at him
with critical eyes.

a NOVEL SUIT IN KANSAS.
supreme Court to Consider ConvIct's De-
mand for New TriaI-The state
Made Defendant.

Fort Scott, Kan, Nov. 6. The efforts
of Marion Asbell, Labette county
farmer who is now serving life SEN
tence in the penitentiary for the muir
der of his wife, to get out of prison
will mature before the supreme court
next week in the trial of a unique suit
which he has brought against the
state. The action is based on the right
to submit a motion for a new trial to
a jury, and should it be sustained it
would effect revolution of the pro-
cedure in criminal practice. The muir
dered woman's stepdaughter gave the
testimony upon which he was convict
ed. After the trial she made a state
ment to the effect, that her testimony
was given under duress and that it
was untrue. Asbell moved for new
trial and the motion was overruled.
Then he instituted the novel action
which the supreme court is to con-
slider. He made the state defendant
in suit in which he demands a new
trial. Summons was issued on the
county officers and on Attorney Cen
eral Boyle, Gov. Leedy and Secretary
of State Bush. A motion by County
Attorney Brady to dismiss the case
was sustained and Asbell appealed

FOR WHITE SUPREMACY.
Agitation In North Carolina to Relegats
Negroes from Public Affairs l. at
Fever Heat.

Raleigh, N. c.. Nov. 6.-The political
;ension is such as has not been known
North Carolina since 1876. In east
.rn North Carolina, where the political
division is along race lines, the white
people are aroused to a point where
they will use every lawful means to
restore white supremacy. There has
been no disturbance, except at three
places, and there is no apprehension
felt except in two or three counties
where the contest is hottest, and even
there the conservatism of the people
probably will avert trouble.
A special from Newborn, Craven
county, says that a mass meeting of
the white men was held last night at
which the following, among other
resolutions, was adopted:
Resolved, That henceforth all white men
who vote and ally themselves with the negroes
in politics shall be regarded and denounced as
traitors to their race and country and pub
lie enemies. and not to be associated with
A strong resolution was also adopted
declaring that preference should hence
forth be given to white over colored
labor whenever practicable.

friends because of her reputed parsimony.
Last Saturday, as she was sitting on her pi-
azza, overlooking the water, and waiting for
Ted to come home, passing knight of the
road humbly solicited bite. The young
woman could not withstand the petition, so
she went herself to the bread box, which was
filled with freshly-baked ioaves, and brought
out to the waiting vagrant two slices of
boardiike consistency which had been baked
many days earlier. As she presented her
bounty she felt Just trifie ashamed of it.
We are very poor ourselves" she said, in
muttered apology.
The outcast received the crust with a
courteous Thank you, and turned away.
A moment later he returned and handed
the young heiress the crusts and also a
nickel.

DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-I cannot be-
gin to tell you how suffered before
taking your remedies. was SO weak
that could hardly walk across the floor
without falling. I had womb trouble
and such a bearing feeling; also
suffered with my back and limbs, pain
in womb, Inflammation of the bladder,
piles and indigestion. Before 1 had
taken one bottle of Lydia E. Pinzham's
Vegetable Compound I felt great deal
better, and after taking two and one
half bottles and half a box of your
Liver Pills was cured. If more would
take your medicine they would not
have to suffer so much"
Mrs. JOSEPH PETERSON, 513 East St.,

DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I have suf-
fered with womb trouble over fifteen
years. I had Inflammation, enlarge
ment and displacement of the womb.
1 had the backache constantly, also
headache. and was so dizzy. I had
heart trouble, it seemed as though nv
heart was in my throat at times chok-
ing me. I could not walk around and
I could not lie down, for then my heart
would beat so fast 1 would feel as
though I was smothering. 1 had to
sit up in bednights in order to breathe.
I was so weak I conld not do any
thing.
Il have now taken several bot
ties of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, and used three pack
ages of Sanative Wash, and can say
I am perfectly cured. do not think
I could have lived long if Mrs Pink

He Goes to School.

"Our boy was absolutely helpless His
lower limbs were paralyzed, and when we
used electricity he could not feel it below
his hips. Finally we let the doctor go as he
did not seem to help our son and we nearly
gave up hope. Finally my mother who lives
in Canada wrote advising the use of Dr. Will
liams Pink Pills for Pale People and 1
bought some
This was when our boy had been on the
stretcher for an entire year. In six weeks
after taking the pills we noted signs of vi
tally in his legs, and in four months he was
able to go to school.
1t is two years since he took the first of
the pills and he is at school now just as hap
Ply and well as any of the other children. 1t
was nothing else in the world that saved the
boy than DR.. Williams Pink Pills"
