' Sir:
Can YOU tell me whether Col. Henry

his services as military man to the
Government when war was declared
with Spain, or whether he did not?
If he did, why did the Government
decline to accept him? Would also
like to know whether or not Col. Du-
Pont was educated at West Point at
THE expense of the Government, and if
at is not customary for army officers
who have received a Government edu-
cation ito tender their services to the
country in time of war?
Did not General Wilson and many
other older officers than Colonel Du-
Pont tender their services, which were
accepted by the Government?

WOMAN
MISTAKE

1t Is a well-known fact that Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
has cured more women than any other
remedy. 1t therefore must be the
best possible medicine for female ills.
But some women make the mistake
of thinking that they will try some
thing else, simply because it is new.
That mistake is often fatal one
fatal to the health and happiness Of
the experimenter.
Is it not foolish to risk the possible
results Of such experiments? Is 1t not
better to depend upon a medicine
which has been tried successfully for
thirty years, and which has never
been found wanting? Donot therefore
let any one persuade you to try some
thing which they say is just as good.
1t cannot be just as good Mrs. Pink
hams Compound is the best, and there
can be only one best This is not
mere assertion, but is positive fact,
admitted by hundreds of regular
physicians
Rely on your own common sense,
ard Mrs. Pinkham's lifelong experi-
ence, and you will make no mistake.
Don't experiment with your health,
but take a medicine that you knoav is
good, and is backed by such letters as
these to Mrs. pinkham:

The city council met in regular
session last night with following pres
ent: Mayor Halleck, Attorney H. l..
Humphrey, Acting Clerk Hutchinson,
Councilmen Hoon, Wilkie, Munroe,
Cowan, Malott, Perring.
Minutes were read and approved
and bills allowed.
The plan for public library in the
city hall is dead. The building will
continue to be an elephant on the
hands Of the town. The council last
night heard the report Of the commit
tee which was appointed to confer
with the committee of the school
board. The committee reported
rather adversely, expressing doubts
as to the financial possibilities and
the council laid the matter over. 1t
is a matter of regret that Abilene
with all its needs and advantages
cannot have this added benefit.
Committee report favoring pur-
chasing more hose Was accepted and
purchase ordered.
Sidewalks were ordered as follows:
North side of South Second street
from Olive to Chestnut.
East side of Chestnut from South
Second to Enterprise street.
Street commissioner was ordered
to notify parties blowing or obstruct-
ing water courses to open same at
their own expense.
Brick walks were ordered as follows:
West side Of North Buckeye north
of Reformed church.
West side of Buckeye at Barcus
property.
1t was ordered that the walk at
River Brethren church be taken up
and church be allowed to fill in with
cinders to remain two weeks before
putting in brick walk.
An ordinance declaring all poultry
houses inside the city limits nuisances
was referred to the committee.

TEXAS pOPULISTS.


Fort Worth, Tex, May 5.-The pop
ulist state convention met here yes
terday and held very stormy ses-
sion. About $50 delegates We're pres
ent but only SO of the 242 counties
in the state were represented. j. NJ.
Mallette, Il pronounced middle-of-the-
roader, was elected chairman. The
middle-of-the-roaders were led by
Milton Park, of Dallas. Those who
favored the Sioux Falls convention
had Harry Tracy and II. L. Bentley
for their leaders. Mr.. Tracy at
tempted to explain the action of the
executive committee at its meeting
in Lincoln last year, but the conven-
ton would not hear him and Tracy
and his faction walked out of the con-
vention. They did not hold sepa-
rate convention as they were too few
in number, but they issued Il state
ment in which it was asserted that
only one-fourth of the counties were
represented and that the delegates
had CONG determined to vote the reg
ularly constituted national conven-
ton.
The anti-f,lsionists adopted reso-
buttons recognizing the Cincinnati
convention "as the only regular au-
thorized populist convention and in
structing delegates to attend it.
Samuel Evans, of Fort Worth, and j.
NJ. Mallette. of johnson county, were
elected delegates-at-large. They were
instructed to vote for no man for
president and vice president who is
not "a straight populist."
