CLEVELAND, Nov.14.--A woman hang
ing In mid-air, screaming 10 agony, held
the gaze Of hundreds Of horror-stricken
people who had gathered near the
Wright house, on Ontario street.
Attracted by n slight fire in that vicin-
ity, number Of employees and others
got on the roof Of the building to see the
blaze. Ida Jantz was one OF the number
and, while looking over the coping, un-
thinkingly took hold Of live electric
wire
The shock from the heavily charged
wire threw her wrthing over the edge
of the roof upon the wire and she hung
there while the crowd below looked on,
powerless to help.

near and saw the woman's terrible pre-
dica ment. The only way he could reach
her was by a window overlooking Onta-
rio street, and to this he rushed. He
climbed out and up fire escape till he
was opposite the woman, who by this
time was unable longer to cry out.
On level with the roof, Mr.. BE II
reached out and, with great effort raised

The above is plain, straightforward

1905, and The story Of it was published
by the newspapers at tue time. The Sc
ourl. which ia known to many, and is
told in Mr.. Belle own words, cannot be

not only through his prominence in
school matters but as a hero--the man
who risked his life in vain attempt to
save woman from a terrible death.
Mr.. Bells accident was not one Of the
sort which falls to the lot OF many peo'
pie, but the results that followed we're
the same, in kind, as the many nervous
troubles with which thousands OF per-
sons are afflicted. Only in his case
they were unusually severe. His ner-
vous syetem was wrecked-almost be-
yond repair-and no medicine did him
any good until he tried DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. They cured
him.

over the world for their wonderful eff

But, when the strain was over, Bells

now opened, and il remains TO be seen
whether they will see IL. There is an
opportunity for the Republican party TO
attract to itself large muster Of voters
who are not welded to the idea OF high
neutrality-suspicious. for industries
which no longer need it-protection
which amounts TO subsidy. Some Of them
are nominaly Republicans, but at heat
they are in favor Of reforming the tariff
Aud there are many Democrats who are
willing to go half way and would enroll
themselves with party which would
take middle ground
Tariff Has Served It's Purpose.
The tariff has served it's purpose in
some instances and has built up in
dustries which are amply able to stand
without any artificial support. This
support Is drawn from the people of this
country; IL means additional taxes, yet
il rebounds often to the benefit Of the
foreigner. The people should not object
to the reduction OF taxes. That is what
tariff revision comes to.
"This being the situation it remains
for congress to act. The tariff must be
revised. The Republicans say it should
be done by its friends. II it's friends fail
TO do il there are others who will The
Democratic party will not overlook an
opportunity to correct the mistakes
the party in power and to represent the
real interests and desires OF the people.
A Surplus Is a Menace.
"Ihe money is pillng up in the trea-
sury. This calls for reduction OF the
revenue taxes. A large turplus is
menace, 1t is a standing temptation to
extravaganza and corruption"
Abiding to the paramount issues 'oi
the last campaign MIR, Eckels said: "ln
regard to the new possessions the people
have spoken. 1t cannot be an issue
whether to hold or let them go But the
Democratic party will have TO insist on
an honest and conscientious administra-
tion OF the affairs o. the colonies. Ex.
ploitation Is temptation which is likely
TO prove dangerous TO party in power.
The People, Not the Carpet-Baggers.
The affairs Of onr possessions must be
administered for the benefit Of the peo-
who live there and not for us or for lot
Of political carpet baggers who may go
there"
Bryan aud Bryanism are regarded by
MIR. Eckels as dead. lie expects that
the next congressional campaign will do
much toward reyiving and recognizing
the Democratic party. Congress this
winter will make the issues for the con-
gressional campaign.
