CHEERING NEWS.
Carried to Washington by Speaker j.
G. Cannon.

Washington, Oct. 21.-Speaker Can
non called at the White House today
and gave the president and members
of the cabinet nothing but cheering
news of his observations of the politi-
cal situation in the states through
which he has been campaigning. The
speaker expects to speak in Baltim ore
tonight. He reached the White House
as the cabinet members were assem- b.
ling for their semi-weekly meeting.
The president, the speaker and the
cabinet officers had an animated talk
on politics before the cabinet formal
ly began business. Speaker Cannon
gave the president and his advisers as
surance that West Virginia. in which
he has just made a thorough cam
paign surely would cast its electoral
vote for the Republican national
ticket.
AS he left the White House, Speaker
Cannon chatted freely with his news
paper friends.
Are you going back to Illinois dur
ing the campaign ~ inquired a re-
porter. You know Carter Harrison
says Illinois is Il doubtful state"
Yes responded the speaker, Garter
Harrison is a powerful knowing man,
but I reckon we will worry through
with the normal Republican plurality.
But I am going home to vote, you
know"
How about West Virginia ?"
"Oh, West Virginia will be Republic
can by big plurality" the speaker
replied, land We'll have a solid Re-
publican delegation in the house from
that state, too"

terest of that sort is concerned, you
have none?
Ave care nothing about it.
rQ.-Your interest never begins in
bonds of that kind unless they are pur-
chased by the school fund commission?
A.-That is right.
Q.-And your interest did not begin
until that purchase was actually made?
A.-That is right.
Q.-Assuming that this agreement to
purchase these CoTnanche county bonds
was made on July 22nd and never was
completed until August IL, then the
state or your office, in the relation of
an owner, had no interest in those
bonds until August IL?
A.-No, sir.
Q.=And when it came to your regis
then all you had to know was that the
school fund had bought them in ac-
cordance with law?
Am accordance with law, yes, sir.
Q.-As a matter of fact, outside of
these three law suits entirely, whether
some other state officer committed a
crime or not, and if so, what certain
amount of dollars and cents were taken,
you haven't any particular interest,
have you?
Al do not understand that I have
said that any state officer has commit
ted any crime.
tQ.-You understand that is the object
of these questions and these proceed
ings, SO these gentlemen can get evil
dence to prosecute Tom Kelly?
Al don't know anything about it.

for d time. was he away?

that time until the Sth of August.

one of you was there, probably?

USE OF WOULD AND SHOULD.
Information From Boston for Dele
gates to Episcopal Convention.

The fame of Boston as a city where
purer English is spoken than in Eng
land itself has gone abroad, and caus-
ed searchingS of heart among those
who are delegated to attend represen-
tative assemblies that meet here, at
tendance on which involves public ut
terance of thought.
Thus we find in the current Living
Church a pathetic appeal from Mr.. N.
NJ. Hitchcock good old New Eng
land name-to his fellow Episcopalians
that those of them who visit Boston in
October as delegates to the general
convention do not say. when their hosts
ask them what they care to see or do.
Il should like to see Bunker Hill" Mr..
Hitchcock is grieved because Washing

ton met there, condoned the use of

that San Francisco is SO Lately wild

know when the presidents English was

ever "complacent Boston may be in re-
gard to the breadth of Guardianship,

delegates to the convention to practice

they leave home, and upon the railway

A WOMAN s NERVES
A THRILLING INCIDENT IN THE
HISTORY OF A HOME.
Health Wrecked by Burden of Anxiety
Ordinary Medicines Did Not Help
DIR. Williams Pink Pills Cure.

Some important facts=bearing on an
exciting event which occurred in jan
uary of 1903. have recently been
brought to light At that time, it will
be recalled, an employee was reported
to have made an attempt to stab his
employer, Mr.. J. A. Wyatt. The muir
derous purpose fortunately failed, and
the courts disposed of the legal aspects
of the case. The public excitement
died down, but the matter had other
grave results, which for long time
threatened to make it a tragedy Mrs.
Wyatt who had been Frustrated by
anxiety for her husband did not re-
cover from the severe shock to her
nervous system, and the doctors in
charge of the case exerted themselves
in vain to help her.
To a reporter who visited her home
at No. 1889 Seventh street, Des Moines,
Iowa. Mrs. Wyatt described her condi-
ton at this time, as follows:
My solicitude was so great that it
affected my heart and then my stom-
ach. I had pain in the region of the
heart, palpitation and shortness of
breath so that I could not walk very
fast. My head ached very badly and
l was finally seized with vomiting
spells whenever I took any food. A
doctor was called who pronounced the
trouble gastritis, but he gave me no
relief. Then 1 tried a second doctor
without benefit. By this time I had be-
come very weak. I could not keep the
most delicate broth on my stomach,
and at the end~'of month was
scarcely more than skin and bone and
was really starving to death
Il don't look now like a woman just
ready to die, do 1? Well. I owe the
recovery of my health to a very simple
circumstance. One daw- when I was
down-hearted at the failure of every
thing that had been done for me re-
called how much benefit my sister had
got from DR.. Williams Pink Pills and
1 decided to take them in place of the
doctors medicine. They helped me
right away. In four days L could take
weak tea and crackers. In two weeks
1 was able to leave my bed. Dr. Will
that checked the vomiting and as soon
as that was stopped my other difficult
ties left me. 1 have a vigorous appe-
tite now and am able to attend to all
the duties of my home"
Not only great anxieties but small
daily worries use up nervous force, and
in multitudes of such cases every or
gan of the body finally gets out of or
energy to every part. Cases like these
do not yield to ordinary medicines.
They are reached and promptly cured
by DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale

with nourishing elements that are car
