What Not to Say.

Do not say, 81 can't eat" Take
Hoods Sarsaparilla and say, 81 am

hurts me-"
Never say to your friends that you
are as tired in the morning as at
night. If they happen to be sharp
they will tell you Hoods Sarsaparilla
cures that tired feeling.
Do not say, "My face is full of
pimples You are quite likely to be
told by some one, "There's no need
of that for Hoods Sarsaparilla cures
pimples."
Tt is improper and unnecessary to
say, my health is poor and my
blood is bad" Hoods Sarsaparilla
will give you. good blood. and good
health will follow as natural conse.

Refused His Picture .
Ft. Scott Monitor,

TT. Scott Monitor,
I'm not looking for notoriety
God knows I've got too much now,
were the words spoken by Frank
James, the ex bandit, yesterday,
when he refused to stand and allow
his picture to be taken for publica-
tion.
The request was made by s. E.
Durham, who represents The
Horseman, a sporting paper Mr.
James at first stated that he had his
picture copyrighted for the express
purpose OF not having them used by
every one. When Mr.. Durham per-
sisted in his request and started to
argue that man could not copy
right his pictures MIR. James became
slightly angry and uttered the words
quoted as he walked away.

Change MckiRIey's War Policy
Washington, ID. c., Aug. 4 The
new war policy OF the administra-
tion under its new war chief is to
follow closely the lines of the Alger
ian system. There is to be waiting
and watching for the unexpected in
the Philippines. General Otis, who
m 4de 50 little progress the last ten
months that he holds now a smaller
area than was occupied by the
Spaniards when they left the Archi
pelago, is to be given the better part
of another rainy season to show
what he can do. And meantime
more troops are being made ready
for the eastern sacrifice. The cost
of the War of conquest, aggregating
now SS00,000 day, is to bs swelled
to more than S1,O00,O00 a day for
each day it is prosecuted
Oils will not be ready for active
operation much before congress
convenes. In the first flush of the
new campaign the administration
hopes to quiet any insistent demands
for war investigation and later.

cast upon the shoulders of the law
making powers the burden of con-
fessed failure on the part of the
executive.
The war in the Philippines is the
gravest problem Senator Hanna and
the managers of the second term
syndicate have to contend with.
From such stsuncn party men as
Senator Burrows of Michigan, and
Senator Nelson of Minnesota
comes the warning that the war in
the islands must be brought to q
close.
Its continuance longer than Janu
airy next, would, in the opinion oi
these and other leaders, jsopardize
party chances in next years cam
paign, and make of doubtful value
the proposed Legislation for placing
the currency of the United States
upon a single gold standard
Such are the conditions in the
Philippines, however, that no for
ward step can be taken until Decem
Der and then because of itsfshiftiDe
policy the administration will not
have men enough at Manila to dc
the business quickly.

WILL PASS FINANCIAL BILL.
H. H. Hanna Promises Revision in Our
Currency Laws.

Currency Laws.
Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. Al.
FL. Hanna, chairman of the executive
committee of the monetary conven.
tion, has returned from sojourn in
the east, part of which was spent
in consultation with members of the
senate finance committee st Maria
gansett Pier. Mr. Hanna expressed
himself as entirely satisfied with the
prospects for financial legislation at
the next session.
"The bill agreed upon" said he,
Shy the caucus committee o. the
house at Atlantic City is wisely
conservative and I am sufficiently
familiar with the general principles
upon which the senate committee is
working to express great satisfaction
over the next session of congress I
have excellent ground to believe that
the majority in both houses will
agree in shaping and enacting law
consistent in broad and courageous
way with the pledge offered the
people in the money plank of the st.
Louis platform.
''Those who advocated and worked
for sound money then have been
compelled by the existing conditions
in congress, with the silver majority
ir the senate, to wait long for the
fruition of their labors, but l am
sure they will be grertly pleased
with what we all believe to be the
first and most important step in the
revision of our money laws. Those
who believed in the good faith oi
the st. Louis declaration will not be
disappointed. I am confident that
we shall have o law establishing the
gold standard with such supplement
tary legislation as is necessary &c
maintain the parity of all our forms
of money"

that he is making no empty threats;
that he means what he writes, and
that If he starts out to prove that

William Goebel is said to belong
10 the "gum shoe" school of politics.
Hs moves in ways mysterious to

He is also said to be a stranger to

Gang PIank's Collapse Plungss $50 in
the Water.
Bar Harbor, Me, Aug. Ga score
of persons were killed to day by the
collapse of gaugplank OF the Mount
Desert ferry
All morning long trains packed
with excursionists were rushing to
Bar Harbor The train which left
Bangor at S:25 o'clock consisted of
twelve coaches jammed with people
At Mount Desert ferry, the terminus
of the line, the train is left for an
eighteen mile sail to Bar Harber.
From the wharf slip or gang
plank forty feet long and ten feet
wide leads up to the boat. The slip
hinged at the inner end, was raised
or lowered to suit the tide. The
wharf extends on both sides flush
with the end of the wooden gang
plank.
Five timbers 4x12 inches, set YER
tically ran the length of the plank,
and these were crossed by two inch
planking. It is said that there was
no support for the plank between
she hinges and the outer end
When the excursion train from
Bangor arrived there was a rush for
the steamer Sappho. The first few
passengers had crossed the gang
plank safely and it is estimated that
200 people were massed on the gang
plank.
Suddenly they felt the plank give
way beneath them. The long tim
Der supporting the plank broke in
the middle. The hinges held up
one end and the chain the other,
while the broken ends of the plank
dropped and a struggling, screaming
mass of humanity was plunged into
the water fifteen feet below the
wharf
A few clung to the sides of the
inclined plank but at least 15o were
struggling in the water. The piling
OF the wharf partially penned them
in on three sides, and the boat lying
at the wharf closed the outer end OF
the opening. After the first moment
of stupefaction the work of rescue
commenced.
Ropes and life preservers were
thrown TO the crowd, but in the
panic the people in the water clutch
ed each other and many sank IL
groups in deaths grapple
Many were taken from the water
unconscious and were revived with
difficulty.
By noon seventeen dead had beer
removed and three others were taker
an board the Sappho and died CT
the way to Bar Harbor-

oaoed in his search until 5 O'Clock
