A Prediction.
ZEKE PATCH.

Congressman Charles Fl. Grosvenor, of
Ohio, predicts that Mckinley aud Roosevelt
will get total of of 27s electoral votes. in
GLIDING the votes of the states of Kansas,
South Dakota, and Washington carried by
Bryan in 1896. he puts in the doubtful
column Kentucky, Nebraska, Utah and
Wyoming OF the total of 1872 votes con-
coded to Bryan and Stevenson, Mr.. Gros
venor says there is bare possibility that
Mckinley may carry North Carolina and
that he has more than fighting chance of
winning the ten votes of Colorado, Idaho
and Montana.
1t will not be surprising IL Mckinley re-
ceives 800 electoral votes.

In some of the Swiss valleys the inhabt-
ants are all afflicted with goitre or ''thick
neck" Instead OF regarding this as a de-
fcrmity they seem to think 1t natural
feature of physical development, and tourists
passing through the valleys are sometimes
jeered by the goitrous inhabitants, because
they are without the offensive swelling.
Thus form of disease may become so
common that 1t Is regarded as natural
and necessary condition Of life. 1t is so, to
large extent, with what are called dis.
eases of women. Every woman suffers
more or less from irregularity, liberation,
facilitating drains, or female weakness,
and this suffering is 80 common and so uni
versal that many women accept 1t as con-
dition natural and necessary to their sex.
But 1t Is a condition as unnatural as 1t Is un-
necessary. The use Of Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription strengthens the delicate
womanly organs and regulateathe womanly
funtions, so that woman is practically de-
livered from the pain and misery which eat
up ten years of her life-between the ages
of fifteen and forty five. "Favorite Pres
cripti0n" makes weak women strong and
sick women we'll.

communication are better than armies
to keep nations at peace with each
other.
The republican party stands pledged
to encourage the building of an 18TH
milan canal. not as fomenter of war,
but as peace measure and commerce
stimulator, because such trans ocean
ic waterway would facilitate the trans
portation of American goods, and allow
this country to secure more trade in
foreign markets.
The mission of the party of prosper
ity will not be over until there are no
more markets to conquer 1t is charged
that this is not noble mission, that it
is rank commercialism. But it is more
than that. 1t is rank industrialism. 1t
is providing work for factories. labor
for laborers, transportation for goods.
1t makes the pay roll fatter. 1t is the
policy that cancels mortgages, builds
homes for working men, creates a de-
mand for the grain of the field, the
meat of the pasture, and the iron and
coal of the mine. 1t is rational and
national prosperity founded on wisdom;
not promised prosperity created by
cutting q dollar in two and calling each
half a whole.
A radical departure from this policy
is advocated by the democrats in their
avowed purpose to destroy protection
and oppose expansion. The triumph
of their policy, if put upon the statute
books, would result in American fur
naces becoming cold and American
shuttles being silent. English looms
would weave for us and German mills
would do our forging American labor
would find its occupation gone.
There is difference between the two
political parties The republicans do
want to govern the markets of the
world. and to reign over the distribu-
ton of the worlds bread and meat, Sc
curing in this way work at home for
every honest laborer, markets for the
products of our farms, and becoming
such factor in the world that will
compel peace and justice among the
nations of the earth. 1t is the policy
which will hasten that blessed time
promised by the prophet of old when
the sword shall be beaten into plow-
shares and the spear into pruning
hooks, 1t is the republican policy.

DONE IN. COLD BLOOD.
Pure Wanton DiaboIism Involved
in the Murder of
Mrs. Lett.
SLAYER DOES NOT TRY TO ESCAPE
Detroit Preparing Grand Reception
and Entertainment for the
Knights OF Pythias..

Jackson, Mich, Aug. S.-Murder In
cold blood, apparently without any
provocation, but seemingly premedi-
tated on account Of jealousy, startled
Jackson yesterday morning when II
was learned that Edward Lett, color
ed, q years of age, had shot and killed
his wife just before midnight. The
murder took place in the district of the
city near the Grand river, where the
majority Of Jackson's colored popula-
tlOn reside. Mrs. Lett and 3-year-old
daughter Myrtle were lying on a couch
at the home Of Glenn Jones, father Of
Mrs. Lett, when Lett came into the
house just before midnight. The Jones
family claim that Lett was acting
calmly and naturally, and did not APP
pear to have been drinking.
Fired Four shots at His Wife.
The Let's live n short distance from
the Jones', and apparently Lett Cid not
like the idea of staying ut home alone,
for it is stated that he said TO his wife
on entering the Jones house:
maggie, can Fred or Everett (his
brother-in-law), stay all night with
me?"
Fired is not here and Everett is in
bed" returned Mrs. Lett.
Then, without another word, accord
ing to the Jones story, Lett drew a re-
volver, aimed 1t at his wife, only a
few feet away, and fired four shots in
quick succession.
Death Was instantaneous with Her.
The first bullet struck her between
the fifth and sixth ribs. and probably
pierced the heart Another bullet
struck her below the shoulder. She
never moved, death coming instantly.
Annie Jones, a sister Of the murdered
woman, grappled with Lett, and strug-
gled to hold him until they reached
the front gate, when Lett broke away
and ran. He went to the police station
and gave himself up, delivering to the
police the revolver, which contained
four empty shells and two empty
chambers
