MIR. Williams Sails.

The country does not as a rule attach
much Importance to the movements and
maneuvers of George Fred Williams. In
fact 1t hardly has time to follow him in all
of his restless activities for the public well
fare. He is here to-day and there tomor-
row, advocating first one thing and then
another, doubling on his course like
frisky or a hard-pressed fox, and generally
displaying the qualities of an entertainer
rather than of a statesman. His most con-
spicuous quality is his tremendous energy.
He seems never to tire He is stranger
TO encouragement. He fires, and if nothing
is brought down he takes no blame upon
himself He simply reloads and fires again.
But maybe the latest news about Mr.
Williams possesses some degree of moment
He has just sailed for Europe and has
gone. 1t is said, to confer with Senator
Jones OF Arkansas on the subject of the
recent disclosures made at the meeting of
the democratic national committee The
Bryan men seemed to triumph on that oc-
casion. but some of them left town in a
suspicious frame of mind Mr. Williams
was one of these. It appeared to him and
TO a few others that Acting Chairman Stone
was not as aggressively for silver as he
might be, and therefore not the man to be
at the head of the committee in the alb
sence of the regular chairman.
So MIR. Williams has gone to explain mat
tiers in person fully to MIR. Jones, and IL
possible to hasten the latter's return home
What Mr.. Jones is expected to do upon his
return to circumvent the Stone people and
put new life into the national committee for
siiver's sake is not clear. but it is certain
that Mr. Williams has program covering
that point Whether Mr.. Jones will ACCEPT
IL and act on 1t remains to be seen.
AZ an evidence of his unselfishness in the
cause. Mr.. Williams denies the story that
he mas vice presidential aspirations. He is
not hgurlng on personal advancement He
Seeks no reward in the way of office His
sole desire is to save the democratic party
and incidentally the country, and that he
VIII engage To do II MIR. Jones will execute
the proper tactics MIR. Williams is on a

The Question in Cleveland.


tEt iiitfaHaf'WfIS NtWS
The only question in Cleveland is as to
how law and order may best be preserved,
and life and property protected When
strikers begin blowing up cars with dyna-
mite, it is high time to suppress them No
one now knows or cares what was the
original cause of the strike. The men en-
gagged in it have, by their lawIess and
reckless conduct, put themselves out of
court. When men deliberately put in
jeopardy the lives of innocent women and
children, they cannot complain if all the
forces that make for social order combine
against them. This is what has happened
in Cleveland. 1t is what happened in Chi
cago in 1894 during the Debs strike. 1t is
what will always happen in a decent
American community when like conditions
prevail.

YOUNG AT SIXTY.

Serene comfort and happiness in ad.
vanced years are realized by compara-
lively few women.
Their hard lives, their liability to Sc
rious troubles on account of their pecu-
liar organism and their profound igno-
rance concerning themselves, all COM
bine to shorten the period of usefulness
and fill their later years with suffering.
Mrs. Pinkham has done much to make
women strong. She has given advice
to many that has shown them how to
guard against disease and retain vigor-
Gus health in old age. From every cor
ner of the earth there is constantly COM
ing the most convincing statements
from women, showing the efficacy of
Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Com
pound in overcoming female ills. Here
is letter from Mrs. j. c. Orms, of 22O
Horner St., Johnstown, Pa, which is
earnest and straight to the point:
DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:--I feel it nv
duty to tell all suffering women that l
think your remedies are wonderful. l
had trouble with my head, dizzy spells
and hot flashes. Feet and hands were
cold, was very nervous, could not sleep
well, had kidney trouble, pain in
ovaries and congestion of the womb
Since taking your remedies am better
every way My head trouble is all
gone, have no pain in ovaries, and am
cured of womb trouble. l can eat and
sleep well and am gaining in flesh.
consider your medicine the best to be
had for female troubles"
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
lelled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as hundred thousand ailing
women during a sinple year.

TELEGRAPHIC POKER PLAYING.
Illinois and New Orleans Had an
Exciting Game.

Exciting Game.
From the New Orleans Times-Democrat
Everybody who knows anything about
telegraphy knows that operators fire.
quently laugh over the wires. In inter-
walls of business man in an Office here
may call up a friend at Baton Rouge and
tell him funny story. In that case It
is the duty of the Baton Rourge lightning
singer to click off hi hi hi" In the
Morse language HI means laughter, and
a Geographic yarn spinner who failed to
be rewarded by the familiar signal would
feel as deeply hurt as a story-teller in
everyday life whose efforts are received
without a tilter.
This, as before stated, Is generally known
but few outside the brotherhood of the
key are aware that operators often play
poker over the wires. 1t is nevertheless a
fact, and the diversion is fairly common
when / was working on the Blankety-
blank line al a little railroad station up in
Illinois," said an ex-operator who lives in
New Orleans business was very slack
toward early morning, aud we used to
get up four-handed game regularly. The
players were myself and three other oper-
ators at different points along the line We
would call each other up and then each
man would deal himself a hand, making
his discards and helping as desired
"Of course, we had 70 trust to mutual
honor as to cheating. but think every
body was on the square. All played freeze
out and the loser had TO treat when we
got together at headquarters, which was
about once month. l must confess that
the action was little slow, but the game
was more exciting than one might imagine
Almost all the old operators have played
cards by telegraph at some time or an
other. Taking love by telegraph is COM
mon, too-but that's another story"

KILLED WILD CAT WITH STONES.
Exploit of Missouri Lad i'm the
Ozark Hills.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat. Feb. ..

st. Louis Globe-Democrat, Feb. g.
John Vanschaick, a fancy county lad,
living near Bradleyville, has made himself
the hero of that locality by killing full
grown wildcat. The boy was making a trip
through the White River hills few days
ago, when his dog scented dangerous
game. Johnny had left his gun at home
and regretted that fact very much when
he saw a strange, furious beast of the cat
family give battle to the dog. He could
not run away and leave the dog to fight
the "varmint" alone. however, and arm
ing himself with handful of rocks, che
brave youth made an attack on the Wild
cat. A few well-aimed rocks drove the
animal into a small tree, but Johnny kept
up his fire until the enemy sprang to the
ground and took refuge under a shelving
cliff near a little stream. The dog could
not get az the wildcat here, except by
crawling under the rock, and that he re-
fused to do.
The boy got long pole and punched the
savage beast out into the open field, then
the dog seized the cat and the fight be-
came furious. The combatants rolled into
the creek and made the water foam with
their struggles. Johnny was on the edge
Of the stream throwing a rock at the
wildcat every time he could get good
aim. Sometimes the mad beast stood up
on its hind feet and struck the dog saw
age blows with its deadly claws.
The boy became greatly alarmed for
fear the dog would be killed and pressed
his attack. Finally, after stunning the
animal with another well-directed rock,
the lad seized club and closed in on the
beast. A few blows on the head crushed
the skull of the wildcat. The dead ami
NAL measured nearly four feet. and its
skin now decorates the wall of Johnny's
home, trophy of which the boy is very
proud.
