Just an Elevator Boy.
Iowa Register.

iowa htPlSltl.
He was just an elevator boy, an or
dinary sixteen-year-old American lad,
such as YOU see hundreds like every
day. but when the crisis came he was
the man to meet it, and most hero
icaIly did he show the stuff of which
our boys are made. Oscar Bella is his
name, and he is an elevator boy in the
La Strain Hotel, on Ellis avenue,
Chicago, a big seven-story structure
that was the scene Of very hot fire
Saturday noon. There were some
sixty people in the hotel when the
flames broke out, and most of them
wero in the dining room on the top
floor. The elevator shaft was full of
suffocating smoke, such as would
have forced many man to run, but
Bella was not that kind, and tying a
wet handkerchief over his face he
rushed the elevator to the seventh
floor, hurried dozen people into the
cage, assured the others he would be
back in few seconds, and took his
first load to the bottom floor and
safety. Back he went for another
load, then for third load, and, final
lv, with the flames eating up the ele-
vator shaft itself, he went back for
the fourth load. This time he took
the last of those on the top floor, and
hunting out the invalid wife of Carl
Albrecht, editor of the Apendpost, car
ried her into the cage, taking them
all to safety. Thinking perhaps he
might have missed some one the
brave lad started back again, but the
flames had burned off the elevator
cables and the cage would not lift.
But his work was not done yet. The
natural gas pipes supplying the
hotel had broken in the basement,
and, as there was great danger of an
explosion, the fire chief called for
volunteers to go down and shut of
the big valve on the street main.
Bella again showed his bravery and
rode on the back of fireman through
the dense smoke and gas filling the
basement and pointed out the valve
which controlled the supply. Yet
some foreign snobs wonder where our
soldiers come from.

A FAMOUS CASE RECALLED.
Points of Resemblance Between the
Cropsey and Cluverious Mysteries

The case of Nell Cropsey, of Eliza
beth City, N. c., says the Richmond
Dispatch, presents some resemblances
to that of Fannie Lillian Madison,
whose death occurred in Richmond in
March, 1885; but they are bv no
means ION all foursn
Lillian Madison was 90 years of
age; Miss Cropsey was but is. The
Postmortem upon the body Of the lat
ter vindicated her chastity; but that
upon the body of the former had quite
a different result. Each girl went
into. or was thrown into the water
hatless, in neither instance was the
clothing Of the deceased disarranged.
Upon the head Of each was a dark
| bruise; but neither skull was frac-
tured, though blood vessel of Lillian
, MadisOn's was broken.
In the Madison case the blow
(whether from accident or violence)
was over one eye; in the Cropsey case
it was on the left temple, causing a
dark discoloration. The brain was
not injured. On the other hand, Lii
liam Madison's brain was injured.
Yet, she must have been alive, though
possibly insensibls, when she touched
the water. for in her clenched hand
was found cakes of mud that she had
grasped from the sloping side of the
Old Reservoir, where her body was
found. Lillian Madison had been in
the water but twelve hours; Nell
Cropsey had been in the water five
weeks. Water was found in the
stomach of Lillian Madison. There
was none present either in the lungs
or stomach Of Nell Cropsey; at least
we have seen it so stated But
whether water was there or not does
not prove there was no drowning, so
many are the exceptions to the gen
eral rule noted in the books
1t seems unsettled whether Nell
Cropsey was first killed and then
thrown into the water. or was showed
in, or whether she jumped in OF her
own motion.
Like questions arose in the Madison
case; but the theory of the prosecu-
tion was that Lillian was stunned by
blow from her perfdious lover,
Tommie Cluverius. and was hv him
then tossed over the low picket fence
which separated the water in the
reservoir from the gravel walk around
it.
The prosecution prevailed in the
courts, and Cluyerius was hanged in
January, 1887. He never gave anv
satisfactory account of his where
abouts on the night of Lillixn's 5
death; was stolid from first to last.
and never confessed. However, it
has been said that in the privacy Of
his cell, just before his execution he
quite significantly got the attending
minister to read to him the fifty first
Psalm.
Cluverius ever denied that he was
with Lillian at any time on the fatal
night.
Neither he nor she was a resident
oi Richmond. They came here on that
occasion by appointment and from
different counties. Wilcox admits
that he wa. with Nell Cropsev on the
night when she was last seen alive.
His story is that he left her CRYING
because he had strenuously objected
to her going on visit to relatives in
Brooklyn. n. Y.

Nirginian-Pilot.
We take no stock in the scheme to
nationalize the State militia that is
being .'promctedn by the Interstate
National Guard Association now in
session in Washington. The scheme
contemplates nothing less than the
transformation of the State militia
into an army reserve which, from the
nature OF the case, would gradually
pass under the sole control OF the CEN
trail government and become for all
practical purposes, n part OF the
Standing Army of the National Gov
ernment.
This has been the history OF every
department Of administration i'm
which the States have bartered any
measure OF their authority for Fed
eral appropriation. When river and
harbor improvement was committed
to the Federal government no one
supposed that all State control would
be lost, but such has proved to be
the case. The same thing will occur
with the militia, if the scheme Of
nationalizing it goes through. 1t
must necessarily occur. Ii the Fed
eral government pays the money it
will exercise the authority and con-
troll. That is the lesson OF expert
ence and the plain suggestion Of COM
mon sense.
The Democrats in Congress should
set their faces against anything that
looks toward an accentuation Of the
militaristic mania that followed the
war with Spain. from which the coun-
try is still suffering and which certain
powerful moneyed interests would be
glad to see perpetuated. The coun-
try laughed FOOLS laugh at the
warnings of the soberminded in the
matter of the Philippines and ha,
gotten a FOOLS reward for its pains.
If it disregards the uniform teachings
miltiarism, it will get like reward
in the submergsnce of the Republic
in Military Oligarchy.
Militarism is today the worlds
greatest curse. 1t is the enemy Of
freemen, and all freedom. 1t is the
prime cause of ninetenths OF the
poverty, injustice, outrage and suffer
ing that curse Russia, Germany,
France, Austria, Italy and Spain. The
army is in every ono of these nations
the buffer between the Privileged
Glasses and the masses whom the
classes pillage. But for militarism,
not throne. Autocrat or Monarch
in Europe would stand five years.
1t is the conserver Of the whole caste
system that for a thousand years has
biighted the lives of nine-tenths Of
Europe's people and cheated them Of
a mans right to look the world fear
lessly in the face.
Human nature is pretty much the
same the world over. There are peo-
pie in plenty in this country who
want a Standing Army for use
analogous to that it subservcs in
Europe. We have no crowned heads
and titled personages who would use
the army to overawe the people, but
we have men grown rich by plumber
ing the people who now want an army
for just that purpose, and would
manage to SO use it. First a Stand
ing Army, called, euphoniously, the
National Guard; then Federal control
Of elections, and the United States
would be 4 Republic in name, and an
empire in fact, with an elective head
dictated by multi-millionares, and
Trusts, who would undertake cheer
fully to do to the American people
what the predatory titled persons do
to Europe.

Of unchallenged assertion for years

WU'S TRIBUTE TO AMERICAN WOMEN

His ExcelIency, WI Ting Fang, in the
February Ladies' Home Journal.
when l speak of the American
woman | cannot say that there is
really a prevailing type. 1t is COM
posite-a mixture of all types. She
has. as I have already stated, the firm
and upright carriage OF the English
girl; but she has, in addition, the
vivacity Of the French woman, the
grace Of the Spanish woman, the
musical voice Of the Italian, and,
whenever it is necessary, the more
sober spirit of the German. The
American type, therefore. is one
peculiar to itself. 1t is not duplicate
Of anything, but rather com bination
OF all that is good in the types OF the

as "slops and sweets" And after all
there's more truth than poetry in the
definition. Ice cream and cake may
satisfy the palate, but they are far from
satisfying to the stomach, which requires
that food be nutritious first and nice
afterward. By careless eating women
pave the way for stomach trouble"
and its kindred miseries.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry is confidently commended as
cure for diseases of the stomach and
other organs of digestion and nutrition.
By curing diseases which prevent the
assimilation of food it enables the body
