DANCING Ar \ FUNERAL.
The Peculiar Antics OF High Strung
CuIorPd Dame.


Colored Dame.
The familiar expression, 'If you will
do this for me, I'll dance at your funer-
al, y perhaps had its origin right here in
Columbia. At least a sight that is wit
messed on the streets Of this city occa-
sionally would naturally give rise to
such an eipres sion.
Late one afternoon recencly a crowd
was attracted to South Garden street
by the passing of negro funeral pro
cession, alarge crowd of dust-covered
Africans following close behind the
hearse and singing halleluiahs in their
own peculiar and inimitable manner.
In front of the hearse, which contained
the mortal remains of one of their loved
ones, whose spirit had winged its flight
to that 'bourne from whence no traveller
returns" black and buXom negro wo-
man danced and gyrated, gesticulated and
exercised herself in a manner that was
both interesting and amusing to the
crowd which had congregated to witness
the sight. The size of her feet and the
inky blacknoss of her face were the sub
iect OF comment, though reverence was
ne doubt felt for the dead. Amusing
things sometimes happen, you know,
even at funeral, and the peculiar antics
of this, perhaps sincere and well-mean-
ing female, was more than the risiDles Of
the crowd could stand. The special fea-
lures she introduced would discount the
movements of the average buck and
wing dancer.

Enst TrnIlpsNre Nentiment.

A Knoxville special to the Nashville
Banner says: 1.-The recent discussion of
the possibility that Ex-Governor Taylor
might enter the Senatorial race, has
caused considerable political comment in
this section. The Ex-Governor very pos
lively denied this rumor to his friends
when in this city on Tuesday last. The
Democrats of East Tennessee seem very
favorably disposed toward Mr. Carmack,
and the impression is general that he
will certainly enter the race. A gentle
man from Middle Tennessee, a close
friend Of Mr. Carmack, said here this
week in private conversation that he h I'd
been told confidentially that Mr. Car
mack would enter the Senatorial race
This gentleman added that in the event
his present program is carried out, he
believes Mr.. Carmack can carry large
majority of the Middle Tennessee coun-
ties, and that he stands an equal show
with any man in Shelby County and
West Tennessee, while he is much the
strongest in the eastern part of the
state"

The Hon. C. II. Weltner, mayor of Wells
vile, Mo-, has lately accomplished something
of which he might justly be proud. 1t is an
effort i'll the cause Of suffering humanity and
one which, for nearly ten years, he has been
quietly trying to carry out.
Everyone in and around Wellsville knows
Mayor Weltner, and Of his progressive bust
ness ability, which has made him a leader in
various enterprises. 1t is this fact which
inspires confidence and the hearty support of
citizens in his undertakings.
About ten years ago he appealed to the
best local physicians, us well as to y number
of specialists, for relief from the dread dis
ease-catarrh, but his appeals were in vain;
the DOCTORS efforts were ~fruitless. The dis.
ease, all the while, was fastening its clutches
6rmer upon him and he was about to despair
Of ever obtaining relief when DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People were recommended
and as q last resort he began their use, the
happy sequel of which is that he now feels
like 9 new man.
"Ibecame aware about ten years ago" he
says, "ofthe fact that some disease was prey.
ing upon me. The physician whom l con-
suited diagnosed my case us %'pharyngeal
eatarrh' and prescribed for it.
Instead 81. getting relief the disease had
Q deeper hold upon my syrtem.
81 sought other physicians, but their treat
ment was ~unavailing. I tried q number of
catarrh remedies, but without obtaining any
relief to speak Of, and had ZONE to the con.
clusion that my case was incurable. DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People were
recommended to me, and I concluded to give
them . trial.

"Wlcn l had taken half a box of them I
began to feel that they were bringing me the
relief for which ! had been seeking.
ut has been about two years since I com.
menced taking them. l have used eight boxes
fully recommend these pills as q wonderful
medicine.
81 would earnestly insist that all who are
similarly afflicted give these pills a trial, fully
believing that they will obtain results such
as can be obtained from no other source. Dur.
ing the eight years l was troubled with
the disease prior to taking DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People, l spent three
hundred dollars for medical aid which was
the same as thrown away, as no benefit was
derived.
CHOW, the secret of these pills is that they
purify the blood, and, ofcourse, that will help
in any disease. They are the best blood puri.
fer | ever used"
The best authorities state that catarrh is q
blood disease acting upon the mucous surfaces
of the system. 1t does not always ommen
III the nose, but frequently starts in the
stomach or bowels with symptoms like dys.
pepsia, which many mistake for that disease
This is because the blood is in such a con.
dition as to ~irritate the stomach. It'll q waste
of time and money besides harmful to use
"snufs." DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People are composed of vegetable ingredients
forming an internal remedy which acts di.
rectly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, cleansing it from impurities and
causing the diseased matter to pass through
the proper channels. The medical profession
recommends these pills aud every druggisl
sells them.

laws could be framed to improve the
grain inspection laws in North Dakota.
He was of the opinion that the commit
tee could gain points from Minnesota's
investigation. There were, he said, ir-
regularities and errors in the North Da-
kota system which when sifted down
developed upon tho judgment of one
man. Mr.. Marshall elaborated on the
the evils of the Minnesota system which
was cumbersome and unsatisfactory.
He said grain was shipped from North
Dakota to Duluth. A sample was sent
to the st. Paul inspection department
and two days might elapse before the
grade was announced and in the mean.
time the shipper was paying demurrage
charges in Duluth and was holding
the car when others needed it.
The farmer might protest against
grading, but the appeal usually went tt
the chief grain inspector who was thu
creature of the railroad and warehouse
commission and there was a natura
tendency for them to stand together
Senator Marshall said a board of approx
al wa needed which would be separate
from the warehouse commission and i
that was done appeals could be secured
as easily as a rcinspcction. Messrs
Searls, johnson and other members
made remarks along similar lines.

THE WOLF QUESTION.
Ben Corbin Tells the House Some
Things Anent the Matter.

lnlngS A1lent the Matter.
Immediately after the committee of
the whole of the house had risen Thurs
day, Mr.. Stevens moved that the priv
ilcgcs of the floor be extended TO Ben
jamin Corbin, "the boss wolf hunter of
North Dakota" in order to give him an
opportunity to explain the wolf question
from a practical standpoint. The motion
prevailed and Mr.. Stevens was appointed
to escort the famous wolf scalper to the
speakers stand. The committee was not
long in finding the eccentric slayer of
wolves and when he was piloted through
the swing doors of the house he was
greeted with cheers loud and long. In
his left hand he carried a valise of I'M
certain age while IL three months beard
protected his face from the slopes win
ter breezelet.
Once landed upon the speakers stand
the wolf hunter began his remarks by
saying that it was probably the first
time in the history of the state, when an
honest man had addressed the members
from the stand. [Laughter.]
There are three kinds of wolves,
ladies and gentlemen in this state, the
gray wolf, the coyote and the two-legged
wolf. The tw%o-legged wolves are the
county commissioners who knock off
bounty. [Laughter.]
l have hunted wolves 40 years and 9
years in Dakota. I know their habits
and know the great damage they do to
the stock interests of the state.
The speaker closed as follows:
"Now the whole matter in a nutshell
is simply this: Does it pay the stock
men better to save So or 81 in extra taxes
each year for a wolf bounty and lose $40
or $50 worth of stock from the wolves?
Does it pay the merchant to save the
price of a safe to keep his money in and
lose all of it the first time a burglar en-
tiers his store at night? The principle is
the same. For instance, Emmons county
has 600 wolves and if it takes a pound Of
beef a day to feed each one it costs the
stockmen SIS a day at 2h cents a pound.
Burleigh county has 800 wolves and it
would cos4 $40 a day at the same figures.
Morton county has $500 wolves, or an
expense to the stockmen of $3.50 a day.
North Dakota with 100000 wolves would
contribute every day beef to the value
of $3.50 to feed them. There are 298..
coo sheep and $4,000 cattle in North
Dakota. How long will they last?"
