Miss Georgiana J, Mossey, of No. 1876
Lake street, 81. Adams, Vi, is bright
healthy young woman aud from her ap-
pearance one would never think she had
ever been sick for day i'll her life. But
there was a time, few years ago, when
she was very low, when physicians
treated her without avail and hope fol
recovery was almost gone But she was
cured by Dr. Williams Pink Pills and
her story is worth reading.
"Overwork," she says, was the cause
of my illness My system became all
run down generally, my blood was poor
and the doctors said had an8mia. My
appetite failed me. l became pale and
sickly with no color Mt all i'll my face
had dizzy spells and severe headaches.
Ny illness affected my limbs and could
not walk any distance without becoming
very much fatigued and short of breath.
81 suffered for two years and twice
was confined to my bed. Idoctored with
an able local physician for a year and
received no benefit. Then / went to
anu lDOh AIchliltlb ~ biii ~ Iig
stefan there but he did me no good and
began to fear would never get well.
While in Montreal, friend of mine
who had q niece who had been greatly
benefited by Dr. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People, advised me to try that medi-
sine. Ibegan taking them and soon saw
achange for the better. Noticed that my
Fps and ears were beginning to look red
and the pallor was fading away. My
cheeks began to fill out and my appetite
returned. My friends noticed the change
at once and asked me who was my doctor
now. told them that DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People were doing all this.
"Altogether took twelve boxes and
by that time / was strong and healthy
girl again.
when went to the store here to buy
. supply of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People" Miss Mossey said, the
clerk told me l could buy them cheaper
in bulk than in the package. But re.
memberedI had read a warning that the
genuine pills were never sold in bulk and
so / insisted upon being given the pack
age with the wrapper on it bearing the
full name-Dr Williams Pink Pills fol
Pale People-and got them.

Portland Press: One of The greatest
objections to the governments owning
and operating coal mines and other pub
lie utilities is the immense increase of
patronage that it would bring about and
the immense power it would put into the
hands of man In the presidential chair,
who CHANGED to be INSCRIPTIONS, to per-
petuate himself and his party In office.
That power has already become very
great, as great as Is desirable certainly.
Municipal ownership OF public utilities
under some circumstances may not be
Objectionable. Indeed we believe, that
in many instances 1t Is desirable. But
we doubt il municipal ownership Is
quite as successful as many think. In
many cases the low water rates that
we find In cities where the municipality
supplies the water are supplemented by
taxation. That is, many charges that
properly belong to the water takers are
put into the general tax bill so that AS
matter of fact the water rate Is really a
good deal higher than 1t appears to be.
There lie the general objection TO public
ownership and operation that 1t tends to
smother private ambition and enterprise
without which country can make little
progress. One OF the great Incentives
TO develop country's resources Is the
chance OF getting profit and when this
is taken away private enterprise is likely
to be paralyzed. In the long run that
government is best that interteres least
with personal freedom.

Reese and Hughes Must Go--Roossvelt
Does Not Approve Their Course In
Excluding Negroes From Last state
Convention.

Washington, Nov. 17.-Further at.
lacks by the President upon the Re-
publican organization In the South are
contemplated.
1t is reported that District Attorney
Reese at Montgomery and Postmaster
Hughes of Birmingham are to be re.
moved from office. The offense charged
against both men is the same-that
they associated with Internal revenue
Collector Bingham (already removed)
in the expulsion of certain negroes
from the late State Conver ton in Ala
bama.
The fate Of these men has been for
some days IN doubt. Following Colec-
tor Binghams removal there was re-
port from the South that they were to
go, but these reports lacked cOniirma-
ton in Washington. Men close to the
President intimated that the warning
given by the removal of Mr.. Bingham
was enough, and that If no further
ground of offense were given the other
Republican leaders in Alabama would
be safe.
The apparent change of front shows
now is possibly attributable to the de-
termined attitude of the Alabama Re
publicans. They have given no indi.
cation of yielding in their purpose to
transform and reorganize their party,
and even the removals of the District
Attorney and Colonel Bingham and the
appointments Of Judge Jones, District
Attorney Roulhac and Collector
Thompson have had no effect upon
them.
They have not attacked the Prcsi-
dent, but have manifested an immova-
bility of determination decidedly un-
like the attitude Of their brethren in
New York and other States. This, it
is said here, is responsible for the
Presidents reported determination to
remove these officials

struggle against the United States
Steel company, which was fought and
lost last year by the Amalgamated AS
ISOLATION, under the leadership of
Shaffer. After his association had
been defeated President Shaffer did
not hesitate to utter charges of seri.
Gus nature against President Gompers
as well as against John Mitchell, presi
dent Of the United Mine Workers, and
Frank Sargent of the Brotherhood OF
Railway Trainmen. He asserted that
the organizations over which these
men presided had, while listening to
the ADVICE OF tnelr leaders, refused 10
lend a helping hand to the Amalga-
mated Association and had even fought
against it in the dark. The charges
were leYeled against Mr.. Gompers in

An Anarchist Attempted to Assassin
ate the Monarch

Brussels. Nov. l7.-An attempt was
made by an anarchist Saturday to as
sassinate King Leopold. The would-be
assassin is an Italian of the name Of
Robno The attack occurred when his
Majesty was leaving the Cathedral af
ter a requiem service in memory of the
late Queen Marie Henriette. RObno
fired two shots with a revolver. He
was arrested.
Intense excitement rcigns in the cap
ital and throughout Belgium over the
attempted assassination. King Leo
pod's escape was due to the fortunate
circumstance of a change of carriage
when leaving the Cathedral.
1t is stated that the bullets intended
for the King passed through the car
riage occupied by the Princess Glen
entine.
The klng preserved his usual calm
demeanor, but Princess Clementine
was considerably affected and suffered
from the shock.
1t was with the greatest difficulties
that the Gendarmerie prevented the
