AbandOns w. j. Bryan

NEW YORK, January 12.-The New
York Journal, hitherto his warmest
partisan, evidently is getting ready
to cast aside w. j. Bryan and the
cause Of free silver at the ratio of 16
to l. In signed editorial by it's
chief writer, Arthur McEwen, the
apostle Of free silver in to-day's issue
Is scored to the queens taste. The
New York Journal was the only
Eastern paper OF Importance to sup
port Bryan during his late campaign,
and this indication that it is to
abandon him as candidate for the
presidency in 1900, and even, it may
be, join the ranks of the sound money
Democrats, is matter of no small
interest. Richard Croker and the inhu-
ence of Greater New York is apparent.
The Journal probably will become
the advocate OF new Democracy,
whose nucleus is Tammany. There
will be a fight between the East and
the West, the Eastern leaders aiming
to unhorse Bryan and reorganize the
Democratic party under the leader
ship OF a new man and on platform
calculated to win back the members
who were alienated by the Chicago
platform.
The New York Journals political
editorial opens with this paragraphs:
"As O. Bryan Democrat [ have to
confess that [ grow weary of Mr.
Bryan, and this is important, because
| find myself in a constantly increas-
ing company. With these other
Eastern Democrats | am coming to
believe that he is not large enough to
be the leader Of the cause which is
known by his name. OF his energy
and his brilliancy as political
speaker S nigh an opinion must be
held as when he made that marvellous
tour Of the Union, arousing the peo-
pile everywhere with his earnest and
dashing eloquence. But he no longer
lmpresses as a great man, nor as
one of the highest sincerity"

HIGH BUILDINGS.
OnN Was Planned by Student Thirty
Years Ago.

Years Ago.
An old graduate of the Troy Poly
techniG institute was looking at the
high Neave building few days ago,
reports the Cincinnati Commercial Tri-
bune, and said:
THAT high building makes me think
of graduate of my class who was a
marvel. We thought he was crazy, and
his mysterious end only deepens the
conviction that our surmise was cor
rect. He was everlastingly speculat-
ing upon the seemingly improbable.
At one time he said that the day would
come when they would build houses
100 stories high, and to show how it
would be done he made drawing of a
bridge, as we called it, standing on end.
Then he said all you have to do to finish
the thing is to cut stones to fill the
spaces, put in the joists and rafters, and
there you are. And that was more than
80 years ago, before the high buildings
had been thought of by any architect.
And the plans of the present are prac-
tically the same as proposed by Fay
when he was but boy. He graduated,
and was looked upon as the brightest
man of the class, though everyone
thought him peculiar. He went to the
west-Colorado, I think-and disap-
peared as mysteriously as if he had gone
to another planet. I think he was never
heard of-at least I have never heard
of him from that day to this. Surely
genius and madness are near allied"

REGARDING Dodge county politics
and the prospective contest for state
senator in that district, The Ocono-
mowoc Republican says: at is an
nounced that John w. Canes, an
old veteran at present chairman of
the Republican county committee,
will have strong backing for the
position in the convention Of his
party Canes Is able and popular
and would make a grand run. Ed.
Labuwi, the present youthful sheriff
of the county, is also favorably
mentioned, and has fine running
record and the confidence Of hosts
of men of both parties. DR.. Jesse
Clason, OF Neosho, the assemblyman
and a gold Democrat, is not With
out reasonable aspiration IN the
same direction, and would make a
good senator. The Democrats have
a more general assortment. M. A.
Jacobs, of Beaver Dam, Commits
sioner Lamoreux's chief clerk in the
land Office, has q strong following
and deserves it. He would make the
strongest candidate in the Demo
cratic field. Charles Barwig, Jr., son
of the ex-congressman, will be a prom
inent candidate and will probably
have the backing of his fathers per-
son4l influence as we'll as tbe
influence of The Post, German
paper with quite an extensive cir
culation in the county. He has
filled several local Offices credltably.
Robert Irving, ex-county clerk, would
not object, but if he is putting up any
lightning rods the other boys have
not found them. Ben Sampson has
had considerable experience as g.
legislator and public official, but as
he was one of Bragg's supporters in
the Bragg-Mitchell senatorial fight,
he may have lost cast with the pre-
sent party bosses. Then there are
Others"

Teddy Pond.

One of Names little lakes Is called
Teddy pond. This name was inspired by
an incident Of long ago, which tradition
relates as follows: In the winter season
some woodsnen were travelling to their
work across the pond one brisk morn
ing. They became a little thirsty or
chilled with the frosty air. They car
ried with them, as was customary in
those days, some New England rum.
Having no vessel in which to mix their
toddy, they cut hole in the ice,
poured in their rum, mixed their oddly,
and drank 1t. So the pond ha~ ever
since been associated in name with this
UNIQUE punch.

1n6re IS one
appalling death that still threatens limo
cent men. 1t is slow and lingering death
from consumption One-sixth of the hr-
man race die from this relentless enemv of
humanity. Probably no subject connected
with health is SO important and so little
understood as the conservation of vital
force. The human organism is wonderful
machine, and is so constructed that if ex-
haust1ve draughts are made upon the vital
forces during youth and middle life, the
mechanism responds for the time, but at the
expense of its future usefulness. The man
VINO oVerWorkS or exhauSts himself day
after day IS constantly overdrawing his
store of vital force Finally the mechar-
ism of supply breaks down and the man
becomes physical bankrupt. The me-
chan1sm of supply in man is his stomach
There the food is transformed into vital
force. If the stomach IS weak and the di-
gestlon impaired, the body ceases to re-
ce1ve and store up vital force. If the
draught IS continued consumption or some
other equally fatal disease is the result.
DR.. P1erce's Golden Medical Discovery is
great producer of vital force It enables
man to daily store up energy to do almost
any amount of work or stand any amount
OF exposure. 1t does its work through the
stomach. It makes the weak stomach
strong. 1t facilitates and increases the
flow of digestive juices. 1t promotes and
perfects the assimilation of adj the life
giving elements of the food It is the
great blood maker and flesh builder
Mr.. F, M Robinett Of Xenophon Tenn
Golden Medical Discovery for indigestion and
torpid liver. was very bad off and tried diff
ferent doctors with but little benefit 1 decided
to give the Golden Medical Discovery trial
for DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery be-
heve would not be living today

Girls in the different stages of lif

Girls in the different stages of life,
says an exchange, have their first
names changed on their own accord
and sometimes otherwise. Often
times they change the spelling of it
by dropping or adding letters and
substituting others that sound the
same, but are different in appearance.
A case is recalled of woman who
was christened 'Mary." When she
grew up and went to school she
dropped the ''r'' from her name and it
was May" Later when she began to
shine in the social sphere she substi-
tuted ''e' for the ''y" and newspaper
reporters were notified to spell it
"Mae." About a year ago she was
married and now she has dropped the
sc" and it is plain ''Ma."

ANOTHER Wisconsin editor, it seems,
has fallen by the political wayside,
Andrew Nelson, of The Waupaca Re-
publican, having been notified that
his aspirations for the United States
marshalship of the Eastern district
cannot be considered. The contest
has therefore narrowed down to T.
B. Reid, of Appleton, and R. 0. jar
deau, of Milwaukee.

THEY WORSHIP afn po..

Kru Coast Africans Think Them In
vested with Divine Attributes.
What is the most remarkable monu-
ment ever raised to the advance of CIV
ilization In Africa? asks the New York
Journal.
A well-known African explorer, Jo-
seph Thomson, thought it was mighty
pyramid of gin bottles. He saw great
grathering of Kru coast negroes en-
gagged in worshiping this strange altar.
So strange was this incident that many
people would refuse to believe it. Mr..
Thomson, therefore, took photograph
Of the scene and brought it home to the
Royal Geographical society in London.
The Krus are the finest of West At
rfcan races. They are, in fact, about
the only people in that part Of the
world who will do any work. European
commerce is practically dependent
on them. To these noble savages gin
is the spirit of the white mans civiliza-
ton in more senses than one. 1t repre-
sents his power, his philanthropy and
his religion. AS soon as they tasted
gin they fell down and worshiped IS.
The more they tasted the more they
fell down. After awhile they fell down
SO much that the European govern
meDts thought it might be a good thing
to restrict the circulation of gin. The
most remarkable fact of all is that the
contents of the gin bottles were i'm
bibed by one man, native, whose over
towering thirst for the white mans
spirits eventually drove him mad. So
the bottles stand a monument to the
monumental drinker of darkest Erica

COMPOSED OF CIGARS.

Queer Rats Nest Found In San Fran
cisco Police Station.
For several months the officers sta
toned at one of the San Francisco
police stations have been suspicious OF
each other. Cigars left in their private
lockers disappeared with annoying reg
ularity and the men regarded each
other as thieves, says an exchange of
that city.
One of the men, who claims to be a
detective, set himself about catching
the thief, but to no avail. He put loaded
cigars in his locker. They disappeared,
but no explosions were heard around
the place. Then he placed private
marks on the cigars and watched every
man who was seen with a cigar in his
mouth. He even bought curiously
twisted cigars and they were stolen,
but no one was seen to take them.
All this time the lieutenant had been
suffering with malaria or some other
influence of a depressing nature. A few
days ago he determined to make some
changes in the arrangement of things
in the station looking to better sanitary
conditions, as well as more light and
room. The row Of much-pilfered lock-
ers was torn away and the floor pulled
up. Behind some boards that had been
nailed against the wall, leaving space
in the corner as large as a bushel bas-
ket, was found a rats nest composed
entirely of cigars.
There were several hundred of them
and among the number were several of
the marked ones. The cigars were
mostly broken and chewed to pieces,
but they seemed to form very coy
nest.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose namely, a receptacle for the urine
and as such it is not liable to any form
of disease except by one of the two
ways. The first way is from imperfect
action of the Kidneys. The second
way is from careless local treatment of
other diseases.
sCHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
news is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the blad-
der, was created for one purpose, and
if not doctored too much is not liable
to weakness or disease, except in rare
cases. It is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or inconvenience mani
tested in the kidneys, back, bladder
or urinary passage is often, by mistake,
attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is
easily made and may be as easily
avoided. To find out correctly, set
your urine aside for twenty -four hours
a sediment or settling indicates kidney
or bladder trouble. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp. Root, the great kidney and
bladder remedy, is soon realized. Ii
you need remedy you should have
