Encountered Serious Difficulties
But overcame Them.
The Rev. Charles Buechel, late pastor
OF the German Methodist Episcopal church
In Wichita, Kansas, was one of the best
known ministers OF the state having
served in all its principal cities during his
long pastorate. His daughter, Miss Lydia
Buechel. now residing at No. 421 South
Water street, Wichita, also has a wide
acquaintance, and her evidence on an
important topic will command attention.
She says
For six years I suffered with a nerv-
Gus debility which physicians failed to re-
lieve and finally I was confined to my bed,
a victim of nervous prostration. suf-
fered dreadfully with my head. was 50
nervous that could not sleep, my stonn-
ach got so bad that everything ate hurt
mo and my system became worn out from
the nervousness and lack of nourishment.
when my father was alive he fre-
quently took DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People when he was worn out and
nervous from preaching, and they always
helped him, so decided to see what
they would do for me. After taking one
box experienced relief. and few boxes
cured me. I am perfectly willing to have
this statement published ir the hope that
1t will be the means of helping other suf-
ferers to regain their health

from impoverished blood or weakened, un-

nearly all the ailments to which mankind
is heir. The pills may be had of any

selected to superintend the magnificent
new Royal Opera house of Stockholm,
which was thrown open to the public IN
1898. Herr Elrnblad had in charge the
artistic management OF this important in
stitution until this fall, when he signed a
contract for five years with the Grau
company of the Metropolitan opera Of
New York, as superintendent and soIoist.
He has in charge the putting on Of all
Wagner's works, according to the ideas
of the master, and will be the first to ar
range the staging and rehearsing OF
"Parsiful' away from Baireuth. This IS
Herr Elmblads third season in New York
but he has never been west before. He Is
as great as an elocutionist and concert
singer as he is a Wagner and grand opera
singer. and he Is a thoroughly cosmopoM
tan artist, known and appreciated on three
continents. The collection Of gifts, medals
and decorations showered upon him would
fill a museum
The date for Herr Elmblad's appearance
in Minneapolis was set for April "a, but
postponed to April 20 by the Orpheus
Singing society, so as not to conflict with
the PauIus choral concert.

Every year Of the new EDITORS life shows
a turn Of the wheel Of destiny, sometimes
forward, sometimes backward; but never
do we detect the slightest variation in
good humor, cherfulness and earnest pur-
pose to succeed. The figure occurs to me
of pilot on strange coast feeling his
way into port. Mr.. Mcintosh cannot be
described as Jack Of all trades and mas
ter Of none.' He has been eminently
successful as an actor, and as a disciple
of Photographic art he has no equal In

VERSATILE BURR MCINTOSH

largest bituminous coal company In that |
section, and he assumed that his son
would follow in the parents footsteps. But
while the novice in coal made a show OF
staying in the counting house. he had
a punching bag in the rear room and set
about organizing an athletic club. For
Years he was the champion amateur
sprinter Of Pennsylvania. t45
His next plunge was into politics. It
was during the fervid Blaine campaign OF
1884 when he organized the long-to-be-
Remembered Six-Footer Republican March
ing club. Every man Of the 100 stood six
feet In his stockings, and Mcintosh was
captain of them all. He wasn't chosen
solely for his height although he was six
feet two inches, but his popularity made
him chief. The defeat of Blaine was q
great blow to Mr.. McIntosh's political as
pirations. He had regarded success as
| assured and seemed to forget all about
the other states Of the union beyond Penn
sylvania. During the campaign he had
rubbed up against the newspaper men OF
Pittsburg, and we shall next see him as
| a sturdy journalist in the city OF Phlla-
| delphia Then it was made his acquaint-
ance.
| Moses P. Handy had started the Daily
| News and having gathered around him q
lot of clever men, naturally drew McIn-
tosh into, the coterie. He had lots OF
| good clothes, having just left the parental
| nest, and was the best dressed $10-a-week
reporter ever saw. He did everything,
! starting In with. police court work in the
morning, doing athletics in the after
| noon and parties, balls or the theater at
| night. In all this work he was wonder
| fully clever and sometimes surprisingly
inefficient. When the subject to be treat
ed was athletic sports, the former Prince
| tonan was in his element. When the
city editor undertook to try him out,
by sending him on wild goose hunt, the
coming reporter would go to his apart
ment, take a nap and return to the office
with a startling array of details that made
the story he was sent to get utterly un-
| safe to print. This was exceedingly
clever on McIntosh's part because If any
/ other journal printed an article, on the
subject he could simply explain that they
| had not thoroughly investigated and de-
| tected it's dangers z--e = e. ~ 80.

<-a'" ! "a Action in Wisconsin.
The. Wisconsin State Teachers asso-
ciatfon passed practically the same reso-
lutfons as the Illinois association, with
some amplifications for the purpose Of
pressing the matter even more strongly.
The following clauses are explanatory Of
the position taken by the association:
Resolved That it is the sense Of this associa-
tion that In the interest of the children seeking
to learn our English speech. the effort to remove
obstacles from their path thru the use of simple
forms OF common words approved by the National
educational Association and other learned bodies
should receive hearty support and encouragement.
and teachers are urged to accept these forms
from pupils and to spread information regarding
the history Of English spelling and the extent to
which smplihed forms approved in authorized
used.
That we respectfully suggest to other educa-
tional literary. scientific pholanthropic or
ganizations and the press the advisability OF
taking this subject under consideration and OF ac
lively cooperating with us in the promotion Of
simpli1ed 81 elling.
That we earnestly disapprove of the restoration
or such obsolete and un-American spellings as
harbour. favour. colour. ETC., and that we re-
spectfuly call the attention of publishers to the
fact that the effort to restore the "u'' fin such
words, which was discarded by our grandfathers
has the effect to retard the movement towards
simplifying our spelling and is thus in the ma
ture OF hindranee to the cause Of popular edu-
cation that calls for emphatic protest from every
teacher and lover Of childhood.
To make its spelling resolutions effec.
tive the Wisconsin association appointed
a committee Of fifteen for the "ameliora-
tion of our spelling two members of
which are to be appointed each year. The
committee is instructed to put into effect
the resolutions Of the association and to
cooperate with similar committees ap-
pointed by other organization and to take
any other steps they may deem wise in
promoting the use of simplif1ed spelling.
The committee was ordered to make an
annual report, which will help to keep the
matter before the attention of the asso-
citation, and an appropriation was made to
defray the expenses of the committee.

The Burr Mcintosh Monthly speaks for
itself whenever taken in hand; but let me
tell you something about "the man be-
hind the magazine"
One cold spring afternoon many years
ago, twenty years, to be accurate, I went
to the polo grounds to witness the inter-
collegiate athletic games. Several remark
able incidents happened that day, most
striking Of which were the 100-yard run
and the hurdle race. in both of which a
tall, wiry young man named Mcintosh
virtually finished first. but was deprived
Of the fruits of victory by being penal

easily defeated two weeks before. In

for allowing intoxicants to be sold after
hours 1t was not novel thing but to
this day there are people in Philadelphia
who remember the sensational methods
by which Mr.. Davis touched the popular
heart.
Burr Mcintosh was filled with vault
ing ambition to outdo 'Dickey' Davis. He
went to the most notorious thieves dens
in the city, known as Kane and Fox's
dane hall, and ran against card sharps
and crooked people OF all descriptions.
Now, for q characteristic episode: During
his college days, student Mcintosh had
devoted more time to holding up five cards
than to solving the binomial theorem and

tors Of the pasteboard in the country
purely as a con5urer. Whenever the Lo-
tus club is fortunate enough to lure Burr
Mcintosh to one of its famous Saturday
Nights, the managers OF the jamboree
hand him a deck OF cards and he does the
rest. He can duplicate any trick Of Kell-
ar or Herman. To return to the tough
assignment given Mcintosh by the Phil
adelphia News, 1t may be said that he
fixed the cards when it came his deal
and ''unfixed'' them when the other man
dealt.
1t is no secret that Mr.. Mcintosh intends

university out of the profits that are as

gun. He candidly believes that a knowl-
edge Of the game is essential to any well
regulated business career.
The Journalists club is one Of the most
delightful places for night workers to
meet in the city. Of brotherly love. It's
hour for closing was only fixed by sum
rise. There Mr.. Mcintosh formed the ac-
quaintance Of BARLEY Campbell. His
courtly manner. fine stage presence and
extreme c1earness OF diction attracted the
playwright, and he made the young re-
porter the generous offer Of s25 a week
to go behind the footligkts. Campbell had
just finished "Paquita, and produced it
in the Fourteenth, Street theater, New
York, on Aug. 81, 1885. The play was a
failure, the ghost'' never walked, and
Mcintosh was very glad to receive an Of

thru the winter of 1885 and 1886.

Lind for his godmother, he appeared pre-
