How accurately the Republican conferees
represent Governor Taylor. or how neces-
sary the latter's acquiescence is to the car
rying out Of the plans agreed upon to-
night. can only be determined by the
events OF the next twenty-four hours.
1t is probable that the Republican policy
was materially influenced by the following
telegram from Senator Deboe. dated Wash
ington. Feb 4:
Hon. w. 8. Taylor-The unanimous SEN
timent here is that you are wrong in pre-
venting the Legislature from meeting. and
that you should submit the disputed ques-
tions to the civil courts. Federal assist
ance cannot be given you on your requi-
sition so long as the Legislature Is in ses-
sion or can be convened. There is no doubt
but 1t can be convened IL you will permit.
The Democrats intend that If any violence
occurs you shall be the aggressor. You
will by forcible resistance ALLEVIATE all who
formerly sympathized with your case. No
assistance. Answer"

LABOR WAR INAUGURATED.
Nearly Two Thousand Men Are ON

CHICAGO. Feb. 5.-The big labor war,
which will probably tie up all building
operations in Chicago, began to-day. when
the contractors enforced the new rules
governing workmen. On some OF the jobs
the men refused to go to work at all when
they arrived at the usual hour in the
morning. The trouble spread rapidly dur
ing the day. and by evening nearly two
thousand OF the seven thousand men who
have been employed recently had stopped
work
The plumbers were the first TO fatty re-

In State, Indianapolis Indp Feb. g. 1900

Bear with u.s. great captain, if our pride
Show equal measure with grief's excess
In greeting you in this your helplessness
To countermand our vanity or hide
Your stern dispeasure that we thus had tried
To praise you, knowing praise was your distress.
But this homecoming swe.s our hearts no iess,-
Because for love of home you proudly died.
Lo, then:-The cable, fathoms meath the keel
That shapes your course. is eloquent of you;
The old flag, too, at half-mast overhead
We doubt not that its gale-kissed ripples feel
A prouder sense of red and white and blue,-
The stars-ah, God! were they interpreted!
In strange lands were your latest honors won
In strange wilds, with strange dangers all beset;
With rain, like tears the face of day was wet
AS rang the ambushed foemans fateful gum
And as you felt your final duty done,
We feel, that glory thrills your spirit yet,
When at the front, in swiftest death, you met
The patriots doom and best reward in one.
And so the tumult of that sland-war
At last for you, is stilled forevermore--
Its scenes of blood blend white oceau-foam
On your rapt vision as you sight afar
The sails Of Peace: and from that alien shore
The proud ship bears you on your voyage home.
Or rough or smooth the wave, or lowering day
Or starit sky,-you hold, by native right,
Your high tranquility-the silent might
Of the true hero.-So you led the way
To victory through stormiest battle-fray,
Because your followers, high above the fight,
Heard your souls ightest whisper bid them smte
For God and and space to knee and pray.
And thus you cross the Seas unto your own
Beloved land, conveyed with honors meet,
Saluted your homes first heritage
Nor salutation from your State alone,
But all the States, gathered in mighty feet,
Dip cclors as you move to anchorage.

BETHEL.
INTERESTING "REMINISCENCES

Bethel, 100 years ago, was church
society and part of the town Of Dan
bury and taking an active part in the
town affairs. James Seeley, who lived
on Wild Cat hill opposite the Sherman
Smith place, was often called upon to
preside over the town meetings. A part
of all town offices was given to this
church society. A special tax collector
was usually appointed to collect Bethels
assessments. Thomas Taylor was prom
inent Justice of the peace and drew the
deeds for transfer of real estate. To
show a custom of those times copy of
votes passed at the town meeting goes to
show that it was a common practice to
pasture animals on the highways of the
town with certain restrictions: Hogs
must be run with a stout ring in their
nose, sheep must be hoppled or fettered
when pasturing on the highway or pay
eight cents poundage. Certain poor
families were allowed to set up a house
on the highway with the permission Of
the adjoining proprietor. A poor man
was permitted to set up his house on the
highway which is still standing to the
Inconvenience of the public travelling on
Milwaukee street. The practice of pas
turing the highway in the village, which
always made trouble between neighbors,
has long since gore out of date.

Eoz,,e N

Any article, whatever it's merit.
must be made known to the public by
means of advertising. Advertising,
however, though it can do much for a
thing, cannot do everything. It may
create a sale for a time, but in order
to insure a lasting demand the thing
advertised must have solid worth. 80
This is the case with Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. 1t has
solid worth.
Women everywhere have learned
this fact, and the result is that there
is lasting and absolutely unequaled
demand for it. It has the largest sale
of any remedy, for female, ills in the
world, and this has been the case for
years. --- .,..e. -
The reason for this is that Mrs
Pinkham claims nothing that She is
not entitled to claim. She can do all
that she says she can do, and her
twenty years of experience make her
advice invaluable. Her experienceh has
been not only long but Worldwide,
and she has helped more women back
to health than any one else in the
world. These facts should, and do,
have immense weight with all sensible
women. Remembe these are not wild
statements but solid facts.
