TEACHERS TROUBLES
A TRYING OCCUPATION FOR WOMEN
WITH DELICATE NERVES.
The Hard Work EntaiIed by the Charge
of School Room Often Causes the
Health to Break Down. :.

Teaching school is an occupation
which has many attractions for cultured
women, but it also has many draw
backs and often affects their health ser
1ously. Especially is this SO in the case
OF women with delicate nervous systems
and those with tendency to pulmonary
troubles. Miss Mary K. Powers, of Ellis
worth, Wis. is a teacher whose health
was broken down by the hard work
which the charge of large school en-
tails. She says:
During the winter of 1885, while
Reaching school, became subject TO
Nervousness, which grew worse until
my whole system was run down. My
back ached ans at times L was so dizzy
that I could scarcely stand My limbs
were swollen and always tired, so that
felt more rested in the morning
than when went to bed. was also trou
bled with a cough and the food I ate did
not strengthen me. This condition, ac-
companied by palpitation OF the heart

March, when read about DR.. Williams

Wisconsin. newspaper.
Il began taking the pills and in about
week noticed a change for the better.

ment that l kept on taking them until
i had used three boxes, and was entirely
cured. 1 always keep DR.. Williams
Pink Pills by me and / take them occa-

Il believe firmly in the good done by
Pink Pills for Pale people and have ad-
Eised many of my friends to use them. -
The pills which cured Miss Powers
are not patent medicine, but a pre-
scrlption used for many years by an
eminent practitioner who produced the
most wonderful results with Them cur

Acting directly on the blood and nerves
these pills have proved a boon to wo-
men, invigOrating the body and regu-

They are an unfailing specific for such

From all indications the palm of VIC
tory in Kansas football for the season
of 1901 viii go to the Indian team of
Haskell institute, Lawrence.
In fact a year ago when football was
on the decline in many of the large
Kansas colleges on account of the pres
identS' agreement" and the Indians then
had a particularly strong eleven in the
field, it was prophesied that the braves
would go into the field this fall with the
strongest team in the history of the in
stitution and a team that would prob
ably be the strongest in the state.
The prophecy seems true and there are
many reasons for it. One is that the
Indians have on their list practically
the same team they had last season and
also a larger field of talent to draw
from than any other educational institu
ton in the state. The team has the
same coach with them this year as last,
Ellick an old Ann Arbor player who
understands the game and knows his
men.
The Indians have no agreement to
bind them but they are true SportSmen
and their players are all regular stu

When the sunfloWers bloom.

1t is in the rain-favored years that the
yellow disks are the most abundant
Then it is that the fields are sometimes
so wet that the harvest is interrupted
or not completed. The SunfioWers move
in and take possession They grow
through August, and early September
sees them coming out decked in their
finery- So you see them-hundreds of
acres covered with the saffron faces, that
seem to laugh at the passer-by as they
are swayed by the crisping breeze. 1t is
something that can be seen nowhere
else, and the beauty of the picture is
like that of the mountain or the sea, so
vast and indefinable that it makes one
wonder how il could have existed and
not have been seen before. 1t is a study
in yellow, massing of saffron hues, an
undulat1ng ocean OF vegetation that has
for its theme the God of Day. Ride
toward one of these prairie sunflower
fields in the afternoon, when the sun
is behind you, and you get the full, fair
face of the tens of thousands of great
blossoms-it will never be forgotten No
where except in the tropical regions can
its like be found-at once SO beautiful
and so useless
1t is in the autumn that the farmer
tries to utilize the sunfiower by expert

may burn a few, for the stalks some
times reach a diameter of two inches;

HOPEFUL VIEW

The hopeful view consump.
tives take Of their own cases is
strongly in their favor. Each
year is showing a larger per-
centage Of cures.
One Of the best reasons for
good hope is the record of
SCOTS Emulsion as a medicine
for consumptives. SO long as
the system is strong enough to
use medicine Of any kind it can
use SCOTS Emulsion.
The reason for its helpful
ness in this disease is because
of its long tolerance by the
patient; one does not tire of
it as quickly as other medi-
cines and that is where the
great benefit comes.

CONSIDERING THE GREAT
QUESTION, TRADE AUTONOMY
The Federation of Labor Appoints Special
Committee of Its Leaders to Handle
This Intricate Subject.
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press)
Scranton. Pa. Dec 11.-Business close
w relating to the organization of labor
in these fields where there is no union
and strengthening the hands of those
who have embraced unionism, took up
most of the time of today's sessions of
the American Federation OF Labor, which
is now in convention in this city.
Thirty odd resolutions were consider
ed, upon, eight of which final action was
taken. All the other propositions were
either sent back to committees or re-
ferred to the incoming executive coun-
Gil, which has power to dispose of ques-
tions referred to it.
The great question of trade autonomy
is now in the hands of the special COM
mittee appointed to consider the subject.
The committee has already started work
and will make report probably Friday
or Saturday. The members of this lit
tie body on which rests the responsibility
of solving the intricate subject are
President Gompers, First Vice-President
James Duncan, Second Vice President
John Mitchell: John Mulholland, presi-
dent of the International Association of
Allied Mechanics, and G. N. Hughes, of
the San Antonio, Texas, trades council.
Among the resolutions adopted were:
Requesting terra Gotta pressers and
fnishers unions to affiliate with the In
ternational Brick, Tile and Terra Gotta
Workers Alliance or have their charters
revoked by the Federation; recommend
ing that the Federation acknowledge an
effort during the coming year to or
ganiZe the school teachers of this coun-
try; authorizing the Federation to send
representatives to national and inter-
national organizations, particularly
those of railway employees; endorsing the
label of the International Wood Carvers
Association, and instructing the execu-
tive council to use every effort to secure
the passage of national law, protecting
and legaliZing union labels.
The report of the executive council is
a comprehensive review of all matters
that have come before the council. The
Shaffer- Gompers- Mitchell controversy is
not mentioned. The council advocates
the passage by Congress of anti-injunc-
ton and Chinese exclusion laws. Revi-
sion of the Don't Patronize" list is
recommended as it is too long and many
firms are out of existence.

ing Before Congress.
(By the Associated Press

Washington, Dec. IA confercl ce of
Southern Republicans in Congress was
held here tonight at which Were present
Senators McComas, of Maryland and
Pritchard, of North Carolina, aud men,
bers of the House from West Virginia,
Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina,
Missouri and Maryland
The chief feature discussed related TO
the apportionment Of representation from
the South, with particllar reference TO
Mr.. Crumpackers bill which seeks to re-
duce the South's representation on the
ground that the negro is deprived Of his
vote.
The discussion was entirely informal
in character and no action was tal-en
by the conference. The talk showed that
the members were not entirely in accord
on the question of their attitude with
respect to the bill. Senator Pritchard
declared his positive opposition to it.
Another meeting will be held next
Wednesday at which it is expected some
agreement will be reached as to what
course the Republicans from the South
will adopt on the measure when it cones
up in the Republican caucus. The South
ern Republicans hope soon to perfect
ar organization for the protection of
the interests Of that section coming Le-

mysterioussly assaulted in her apart
ments yesterday, is lowering between
life and death today. She showed some
Improvement this morning, but the
chance for recovery is very slight. Its

herent words that the detectives sitting
by her side have been able to distin-
guish.
A small old fashioned Ratchet, which
probably has been used by the family for
many years, was found by detectives to-
day in closet in the room of the
elder Mrs. Dennis, mother -in-law Of the
injured woman. The result OF a che emil
cal analysis, failed to disclose the pres
ence of blood stains OH that weapon and
the police attach no Significance to the
finding of it. There is no tangible clue
to the perpetrator of the crime.
