His Wife Liked Perfumery.

The guard at an elevated railway sta
ton on the Fifth avenue side of the loop
noticed tine other evening man who
appeared to be little unsteady on his
feet, balancing around one of the slot
machines on the platform for quite a
time, says the Chicago Daily News.
After several trains had passed he
stepped up to see what was going on
AS he approached, his nostriIs were
greeted with an odor of perfumery so
strong that it nearly upset him.
Here, swhat are you doing there?"
he called sharply to the man.
''PerfumIn' my whispers, you chump,"
was the shouted reply. Cant you let
a gentleman attend 10 his toilet without
mixing up i n it YOURSELF"
And that was precisely what he had
been trying to do. His pockets were
evidently stocked with supply of pen.
MES and he had been stuffing them into
the machine as fast as he could allowing
the perfume to trickle on his clothes and
the platform around him.
When the guard finally induced him
to stop he confided to him that he had
been out seeing the "Illumination'' with
party of friends, and the reason he
wanted to perfume his whiskers was to
prevent trouble at home VIXEN he 20
turned.
ssMy wife," he said refectively, dome
like effects of too much Illumination,
but she just dotes on fun sry.'

HANNA WAS HARD HIT.
Bryan Fires into the Boss in Caushc
Style at Celina, Ohio.

MIR, BRYAN, who has been delivering a
number of sneeches in Ohio in the inter
est of the democratic state ticket, was
received with extreme cordiallty wheI-
ever he spoke. At Celina he said in
part:
"This is one of the states in which an
important campaign is being carried on
this fall. and this election is not only
important because you choose your
state officials this year, but because the
verdict at the polls will be accepted as
your opinion upon the issues which are
now before the public. Some one has
likened government to corporation in
which every citizen is stakeholder,
which from time to time elects its di-
rectors. Taking that idea of government,
the stockholders can select new board
of directors when they choose, and the
directors ought to protect the stock
holders interests.
"Ths voter has right to expect the
officer to observe the conditions and
promises of the platform. The farmer
is careful in the selection of the hired
man and ought to be in the selection of
the public officer, but it is said that he
allows himself to go to sleep and never
awakens until the affairs of the nation
have run up against stone WALL
NO FARMER CAN AFFORD 1T.
"l think the time has come when the
farmer cannot afford to be a republican.
believe the farmer who supports that
party stands in his own light and is doing
himself an injustice. | believe the mem-
bers of the republican party, OF an
earlier date, had great reverence for
Abraham Lincoln. Great changes with
in the party have taken place since then.
Abraham Lincoln ia 1859 wrote letter
in which he demonstrated that he be-
leyed in the man first and the dollar
afterwards. Since those days the party
has placed the dollar first and the man
afterwards, and if you republicans who
reverence the name of Lincoln want to
change conditionsand bring the party
back to Lincoln's standard you must
employ an artist to draw the difference
between Mark Hanna and Abraham Lin
coin, employing the toboggan slide as a
background
with Abraham Lincoln the man
came first; with Mark Hanna, nothing is
genuine unless the dollar mark is blown
in the bottle. When the republican
party was organized 1t was with the idea
that political convictions were stronger
than party ties. The vicious dollar
mark was not consideration then"

When a boy turns his bullying pocket
inside out we marvel at the quantity and
variety of articles he has slowed away
Odd lengths of strings, marbles, horse
chestnut, top, brass nails, hickory nuts,
an apple and many more articles are gar
nered by this snapper up of unconsid-
cred tribes" We Think the collection
must be hard on boys pocket. And it
is. But5do we ever think of the variety
and miscellany of the substances we put
into the pocket of our stomach? There S
the apples and the nuts, and things be-
sides quite as indigestible as brass nails
and with no more food value than so
many marbles. And yet we wonder that
the stomach gives out. When the stom-
ach breaks down under the strain of
careless. eating and irregular meals it can
be perfectly and permanently restored to
health and strength by the use of DIR.
Perce's Golden Medical Discovery. The
action of this medicine on the stomach
and other organs of digestion and nutrl-
ton fs so marked that relief from disease
is at once experienced, and the head
aches, liver troubles, kidney disorders,
skin eruptions and other symptoms of a
diseased stomach are quickly cured.
Whenever the use of laxative medicine
is indicated use Dr.. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets. They act in harmony With the
Discovery and assist its action by purg-
ing the bowels of foul accumulations.

cans to be Mr.. Reeds successor, while
Parson Luther Mckinney is tie demo
cratic candidate. Mr.. Allen has de-
clared himself in favor of the admins

ing speeches along that line. Parson
Mckinney, on the other hand, is prais-
ing Tom Reed and denouncing the
Philippine war, employing many quota
tions from Reed.s expressions in so do
ing. Asa consequence the district is
pretty we'll worked up. It remained
faithful to Reed and his convictions for
a aood many years, and Parson McKin-
ney is now pointing out to the voters
that he, and not Mr.. Allen, more nearly
represents Reeds views.

Charge Based on Alleged Carelessness IN
as Operation.
The arrest and incarceration of DR.. L.
U. Rentz of Dupont, on the charge OF
murder, has caused sensation. The
charge is based upon fatal mistake
which DIR. Rentz is alleged to have made
in performing an operation upon Miss
Maggie Moore in the western part of

vital organ, in no way connected with
the disease of the young wo nan, and the
grand jury indicted him for murder. He
was kept under guard at bonneville
pending preliminary bearing, but was
put in prison there before the court adj
journed.
Dr. Rentz is prominent young ply
stefan and has been connected with the
Plant Systems hospital department. He
has a large circle of wealthy and influen>

on has addeu to the sensation which the
charges against him produced.

PRONOUNCED DEAD TOO SOON.
Signs of Life in Woman's Body when
About to Be Buried.

About to Be Buried.
An Arcadia, Fla, special says: The
wife of w. @. Wells, wealthy lumber
and timber man of this county, had been
quite i'll for some time. She had a sink
ing spell last Saturday morning, and was
finally pronounced dead by the attend
ing physician. who also advised cary in
terment.
The funeral was announced for that
same afternoon, and a very large number
of relatives and sympathzing friends
were in attendance at the Joshua Greek
cemetery, where the interment was to
have taken place.
The coffin was opened according to
custom for the relatives to take last
look at the departed loved one, when the
husband discovered that the glass on the
inside of the lid of the coffin was covered
with moisture, and the eyes of the sup~
posed corpse were open. The lid was at
once taken off, ard to the horror of all
present it was discovered that the body
was still warm, and that there was faiat
indications of pulse.
Physicians from Arcadia were at once
summoned, and arrived with batteries
and other appliances, but after working
for several hours the last spark of life
left her body.
The physicians ca led in the last time
unhesitatingly say that the lady was not
dead when she was placed in her coffin.
The affair has caused sensation all over
the county. 1t has added to the burden
of grief of the Borrowing relatives, and
has been commented on as an unanswer-
able argument against hurled interments.

a TALE OF TWO CITIES.
Street Car Lines at Wheeling, W. Va,
and Bay City, Mich, are Tied Up on
Account of Strikes.

Wheeling, w. Va, April 12.-The
street car strike continues. The com
pany ran eight cars yesterday, quitting
at sundown. The patronage was
practically nothing. There were scenes
of disorder on the South Side during
the day, consisting usually of pillng
distractions on the track. Some of
the outside men deserted the com
rany. Last night the barns in the
southern part of the city were again
attacked by boys and young men. Be
yond the breaking of some windows, no
damage was done.
Judge Jackson, of the United States
court sitting at Parkersburg, has
granted an injunction restraining the
strikers and public from interfering
with the operating of cars on the
Wheeling street car lines,
Bay City, Mich, April 12.-The com
mon council, having appointed a com
mittee to endeavOr to bring about a
settlement of the street railway strike,
Mayor McEwan yesterday requested
the railway company not to attempt TO
run cars. fearing that violence would
ensue. The request was complied with.
\ conference between the council com
mittee. the street railway officials and
strikers resulted in nothing.
Interference with the operation of
lines is increasing, obstructions being
placed on the tracks in all directions

SNAKE CHARMERS.
Hardy American Indians Who Cnrrs
Deadly RattIers In Their
Mouths.

1t is generally supposed that the ser
pents exhibited by snake charmers
have been deprived of their fangs, and
this is doubtless often the case, while
one instance at least is recorded in
which the mouth of the snake had
been sewn together to prevent it from
biting, says the Westminster Review.
The writer noticed at the Ceylon exhi-
bition, given some years ago in Lon
don, that one of the snake charmers,
finding the cobra he was exhibiting
becoming too lively and aggressive,
seized the reptile by the neck and thrust
it hastily into the small round basket
in which it was carried, at the same
time pushing it with a voluminous
