She Didn't Care

Maplehill, Ia, Aug. lOth.-'I felt as
though l didn't care whether lived or died
l was so miserable all the time
In these words does Miss Nellie Barefoot,
OF this place, describe her condition. Every
woman who is, OF has been, sick and sui.
terng will understand and appreciate just
how Miss Barefoot felt, and there are nodoubt
1t IS truly an awful thing when woman
gets so low that she can say Il don't care
whether live or die"
But Miss Barfoot tells different story to-
day, and her words should guide every suf-
terlng woman to the path of health and hap
piness.
Il used Dodd's Kidney Pills. and am
cured. feel like new person, and | would
say to every woman suffering as I did, give
Dodd's Kidney Pills trial, and you will
not be disappointed. They are worthy of
the highest praise"

WHERE WERE THE GENERALS?
BrfSades of the Army DID Splendid
Work Under the Direction
of Colonies.

The magnificent army that Sherman
led in his great march to the sea was
composed of 81 brigades of infantry
three brigades of cavalry and four
brigades of artillery, says the American
Tribune
Ofthe infantry brigades five were COM
manded by brigadiers, % by colonies,
seven by lieutenant colonies and two by
majors. The artillery brigades were all
commanded by majors The cavalry
brigades were all commanded by colon
els
In view of these facts the question
naturally arises:
Had we a scarcity of brigadiers, or
were they at home, or were they in the
cities in our rear holding soft jobs OF
looking after snaps while the bri-
gades of the army were doing such splen-
did work at the front, led and com
manded by colonies, lieutentnt colonies
and majors?"
These commanders were able ones and
no one will dispute the fact that all of
them would have made good and COM
the command and responsibilities OF
brigadiers with rank and pay of subor-
dinates?
The point wish to make is this
"The volunteer army of the United
States was composed largely of men Of
intelligence and good moral standing
as citizens, and from the field and
staff of our regiments good brigade or
division commanders could be selected,
and in the rank and file of our companies
were many men competent to command
regiments, as was fully demonstrated by
many captains at the head of regiments
and noncommissioned officers in COM
mand of companies
These facts firmly establish the
claim that has been made that our
army of volunteers was a representa-
tive body of intelligent and progressive
American citizens

strung out for 900 yards behind him,
whipping and squirting, trying to keep
UP.
''As Gen. Phil galloped by the wagon
train he waved his old hat at us and
yelled: Get back to the front! Well
need rations!' Did we yell? Geei
There never was anything else like it.
Why, say, old fellows who had been
limping along to the rear and swear
ing at every step, some of them with
out guns, turned around, and, SO help
me, they kept UP with Phil's black
horse for half mile, running back to
the front.
That was a great ride, if the poet
did get mixed in his details. Sheridan
won the day by that ride. The best
help he had was from our commissary
stores. The rebs had captured the
stores and stopped to eat crackers and
drink whisky. We had lots of both
and some of the rebs had not had even
a cracker for three days. When they
broke into our stores they decided
whisky than shoot yanks, SO they gave
Gen. Phil time to make his 20-mile
ride and rally his men. IN. Y. Sun
Carried Bullet FOrty-One Years
Capt Henry r. Jones, editor of the
New Hartford Tribune, was lately re-
iieved of bullet that had been in his
shoulder since September II, 1862 On
that date, while in the battle of Ante
tam, he received a severe wound in the
risht shoulder which nearly proved ia
ia and has caused 40 years Of suffe ring
The ball was imbedded in the clavicle and
could not be removed without serious re-
suits For the last six months the wound
has been extremely painful OIs Wednes-
day night as Capt Jones was dressing
the wound he felt something hard and
black, and procuring a pair of pincers
he drew forth the confederate bullet
The ball, which is nearly round, is the
size OF large marble, and weighs one
ounce, and was probably fired from an
Sid-fashioned musket-N. Y. Sun.

What She Thourbt

A freshly made bride and bridegroom
sauntered down Broadway, and the bride be-
came angry because they attracted so much
attention. The bridegroom suggested that
she carry the suit case and the satchel, ex-
planning that this was a sure way of avert
ing suspicion. The bride figured awhile, and
after consulting the thermometer, came to
the conclusion that she preferred the pub

Pope Plus x.

The succession of Cardinal Ssrto o,
Venice, to the papacy is contemplated
with satisfaction by all who have know
ledge of the personal character and fit
ness OF the pope elect. he is man of
ability, of high personal character. and
OF broad liberality. 1t is thought that
his policy will include an earnest pur-
pose to harmonic the relations of the
church with the Italian civil govern
ment. Since the days of Plus TX, the
relations have been strained. Since
the wrestling of temporal power from
the church by Victor Emmanuel, the
pope has maintained the attitude of be-
ing a prisoner of war in the Vatican.
This peculiar condition has been neld
by the Italian government, and it Is
believed that Plus x, the new pope,
will endeavor to haye matters adjusted
upon a satisfactory basis. a.. h..

northwest trayersed by these two
| lines of road will have not only thu
lowest rates but the best railroad
service west of Chicago. These are
considerations worthy of serious
thought. Public opinion, misdirect
eddy designing politicians, deceived
by cunning appeals to prejudice,
for time lost sight of the real is
sue in the case. 1t is beginning to
take truer view of the situation.
Judge Lochren concludes his de.
cision as follows:
1t is plain from the Minnesota stat
utes, as construed by the supreme
court of the state that the railroads,
with their rolling stock and appliances
shall be kept in high state of safety
and efficiency; and hat rates of trans
portatation, while kept ample to secure
such results, shall always be fair. rea-
sonable, stable and uniform.
Under this system, shippers can caunt
accurately the cost of transportation as
an expense in their business, with the
assurance that others engaged in like
business must incur exactly the like
expense.
All complaints that published rates
are unreasonable are heard and deter
mined by these state officials, who may
hx rates binding. on the railroads: thus
necessarily making rates uniform as
between rival railroads.
As result of the policy, and the alb
solute power OF the state officials to fix
rates. and keep them at the lowest
reasonable figures, competition be-
tween rival railroads no longer re-
duces rates, as itdid when railroad
companies alone controlled them.
On the contrary, where two or more
railroads divide the transportation be-
tween two places the necessity of con-
sidering greater fixed charges and
greater cost of administration and
operation may make the reason BILE
rate fot transportation greater than if
the whole business could be done and
was in fact done by one railroad.
However that may be, the Northern
Securities company is but an investing |
stockholder in these two railroad com
panies, without power TO consolidate
Them or to interfere with the manage
nent Or control of either. Because of |
lts large holdlngS OF these stocks it |
nay elect the board of directors of
Zach, who must be composed of entire
y different persons.
Each board will appoint the officers
md control the business and affairs
ii its own corporation and will ma
urally seek to increase its business
md property.
Neither has any power to contr oil the
ther nor to contract with the other
n constrain of trade. There is no
resumption that either will disobey
he law or be guilty of the commission
It penal offenses. Ill
Should they do these things then the :

The Leader of the French Socialist.

g.
M. Jaures is to-day the most pro-
minent leader of the French Socialist
party. as well as one OF the most at
tractiVe figures in French parliamen-
tary life: BY general consent he is
not far from being foremost among the
great political orators of France, and
for years speech by Jaures has al
ways been sure to draw large crowds
to the Palais Bourbon, or to the DO
pular meetings where he often makes
himself heard for the one cause that
is dear to him.
Although belonging to party in
the Chamber that counts fewer than
fifty members. he was this every year
elected to the yice-presidency Of the
Chamber. an honor that is usually be-
slowed only on the most representa-
tive members OF the Republican major
ity. In two sensational speeches he
recently challenged the attraction of
the world by bringing up two Of the
most acute and delicate questions in
French politics, the question of AL.
SAGE Lorraine and the Dreyfus affair.
He is at the present time the French
man outside OF the administration
whose personality is the most striking
and whose influence is the most power
full, His very career challenges at
tention and commands respect, for it
shows the struggles Of a man against
the interests OF his class to promote a
social order more in the accord with
his notions OF justice. and it shows the
evolution OF a mind which has worked
its way towards q higher ideal Of life
