An Afflicted Mother.
From the Times, Paw Paw, Ill.


A resident of this town who has
lost two children during the past
six years, by violent deaths has been
utterly prostrated by the shock, and
seriously sick as result of it. One
child (aged 81 was killed by cy-
clone in 80 while at school; another,
three years later was run over by a
Burlington r. r. train. That griels

them, her health was shattered and
she has been a constant sufferer
since 1890. Her principal trouble
has been neuralgia of the stomach
which was very painful, and exhibit
ed all the symptoms of ordinary neu
ralgia, nervousness and indigestion.
Physicians did her no good what
ever. She was discouraged and
abandoned all hope of getting we'll.
Finally, however, a certain we'll
known pill was recommended (Dr.
William Pink Pills for Pale people,
She supplied herself with quanti-

She continued taking the pills until
seven or eight boxes had been con-
sumed and she considered herself
entirely cured. She can now eat all
kinds OF food, which is something
she has not been able to do for years.
She is not troubled in the least with
nervousness as she was during the

The valiant" P G.'s tainted,
when they heard that one of their
men had been shot in brawl be-
tween the police and mob armed
with useless carbines and primed
with liquor. An ordinary squard of
mounted and foot police could have
quelled the riot in few minutes,
but it suited Mr.. Dole's government
to make big mountain out OF a
molehill and to create an impression
abroad that Hawaii was in the
throes of a dangerous revolution,
and that it was only owing to the
strength of the young republic that
the natives were routed and taken
prisoners. The riot, if the row de-
serves even that term, was en-
couraged and instigated by men in
the pay of the government, who
we're instructed to foster any move
ment which could lead to a rumpus
and Justify Mr.. Dole and his crew to
call upon Uncle Sam for help, pro-
lection and annexation. In the last
number of the S. f. Wave, the Ha-
waiian edition, appears the picture
of a government official who is
praised for his clever work in 1896
as detective among the Royalists,
who trusted him, and whose plans
he carried daily to the Marshal.
This clever young man and Others
in the same business encouraged the
poor kanakas." to go ahead" and told
them that the moment to strike had
come. The result was the Diamond
Head farce, which the government
"put down with an iron hand" by
running a few armed men down, by
having their own forces "retreating,
whenever any resistance was made
and by drinking much liquor and
squandering large sums in hack hire
ETC., in encouraging their "braves.

think that mob could be hired TO
drag into Jail in a most degrading
and humiliating manner, subjects OF
countries with which sacred treaties
had been entered without solemn
protest being entered? Indeed the
men, who took the helm in 1896, who
insulted women, outraged men and
placed families in distress without
an iota of excuse must have been
crazy with fear and totally incom-
petent to grasp the seriousness of
what they we're doing.

To be marched through the

fans, and, what was even more dan
gerous, by men like "Holy Joe" and
his armed compatriots; to having

1t is horrible on this day to re.
membrr the lives sacrificed through
the venom and cruel disposition of
the imbecile crowd, which ran riot
while clothed with brief authority
during those days. May the ghosts
of the men they ruined during those
days to satisfy their petty spite,
and their miserable hatred
arise before them when the
day come, when they will have to
go before the tribunal, at which the
just God presides, and not number
of petty clerks, mechanics and
lawyers, for the occasion clothed in
glittering bogus uniforms and vest
ed with high faluting military titles.

and never brought to trial is entitled
to heavy damages. The foreigner
will be attended to by their respec

of the Hawaiian party at the mex
election must be compensation TO

NATIONAL COMMITTEE CONFER
GNNEIN

The conference among the members of
the Democratic national committee was
the occasion Of good deal of specula-
ton and quite a little prophecy. The
speculation was idle and the prophecy
abortive. The members of the commit
tee met evidently with a view to taking
counsel as to existing conditions and as
to those which are likely to confront the
party in it's struggle with trusts and i'm
perialism a year hence They held their
deliberations, reached their conclusions
and deferred the crossing of a number
of bridges the approach to which the
enemies of the party are watching with
much of hopefulness until they reach the
bridges.
The disposition of all the members Of
the committee to confine themselves to
party matters of practical, immediate
concern is to be commended. The signs
are all favorable to a united and enthu-
siastic Democratic campaign in 1900, and
those signs are made all the more I'M
erring by the discreet, thoughtful and
matter-of-fact policy pursued by the COM
mittee at the st. Louis conference.

Has the attention of the honorable, the
secretary of the navy, been called re-
Gently to the movements of one Winfield
Scott Schley, now or recently rear adj
miral in the service of the department?
If not it should be. Some discreet
friend Of President Mckinley should in
tervene and put stop to the scandalous
exhibitions which are being made In con-
nection with this mans progression from
one Western city to another. 1t is at
least unseemly; and in view of, the an
nounced intention of the head of the inn
perialist administration to include some
of the cities visited or to be visited by
Schley in his own Itinerary. it may well
be said to. be officially 5discourteeus,5 If
not impudent.
We do not know just what, Rear .Ad=
miral Schleys politics is. 1t may be that
he does not know himself, or that, If he
does his knowledge bears no earlier date
than that of the report of the admins
tration hero, Sampson, regarding events
dI OdllldSO. but, II SnOOlQ appear,
for instance, that Schley has any affilia-
ton with the anti-imperialist element of
political society, the present is the time
for action. He should be called on to
report to his command right off, and
leave the plaudits of the public to those
TO whom they belong. If this extraor-
binary example is allowed to go unre-
buked. it may transpire in the course
of time that political orators and writer's
more adventurous than their fellows may
be heard claiming that Democrats and
anti-imperialists were actually found In
the ranks. of the Cuban and Philippine
armies or on board of Dewey's or Samp-
sons battleships.
Not much harm has been done
as get, since Schley has not
thus far progressed further than
from Omaha to Denver But it
is respectfully suggested to the imperial
list press that if Schley is not to be called
in at once something should be found out
about his politics, and if it is not of the
proper variety he should forthwith be
branded as a copperhead and a traitor.

There are no wine rooms in st. Paul
At least no evidence is obtainable that
there are. That is the conclusion of the
grand jury of which that distinguished
Republican statesman and legislator, Mr..
C. S. Schurman, was foreman, and
which closed it's labors, 1ttingly enough,
with the recommendation that little
boy charged with driving somebody 8
horse into the city from White Bear
should be indicted.
Mr.. Schurman,s grand jury made the
discovery that there is just one place
in the city where wine is sold elsewhere
on the premises than in the bar room, but
was not aware that there was anything
wrong about such sales. Now, If that par
ticular place had not been discovered. It
might be possible to believe that that
grand jury had been totally deprived of
vision, or was under serious misappre-
tension as to what constituted a wine
room, so as to bring 1t within the REQUIRE
ments of the local statutes which make
the maintenance OF such places a INSIDE
meanor. But, having discovered the ex-
istence of one liquor saloon and place of
popular resort, with a plate glass front
age Of a hundred feet or so, on one of the
most prominent streets Of the city, 1t Is
safe to say that, while it's vision, moral
as well as physical. might have been Sc
riously defective, that grand jury of
Mr.. Schurman's could not have been
wholly blind.

contrary notwithstanding, there are a
