WOMAN'S NERVES
THRILLING INCIDENT IN THE nrsronr or A HOME.

 pr. wIiliams, Pink Fills Cure.

Some important facts bearing on an exciting event which occurred in JAn- uary of 19e3. have recently been brought to light At that tirhe. sft will be recalled. an employe was reported to have made an attempt to stab his em- ployer, Mf ! A. Wyatt. The murder ous pirpoee 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 threat ened to make It "a tragedy. Mrs. Wy att who had been prostrated by anx- iety for her. husband did not recover from the severe shock to her nervous system, and the doctors in charge of the case exerted themselves in vain to help her
 ro | reporter who visited her home at No. fiss Seventh Street, Des Moines. Iowa, Mrs Wyatt described her con- ditfon at this time. as follows:
 r1fy solicitnde was so great that it nfkected my heart and then my stomach. I had pain in the region of the heart, palpitation and shortness of breath so that could not walk very fast. My head ached very badly and I was finally neized with vomiting spells whenever took any food A doctor was called who pronounced the trouble gastritis, but he gave me no relief. Then tried second doctor without beneht. By this time had become very weak. l could not keep the most delicate broth on my stomach, and at the end of month I was scarcely more than sk.n and bone and was really starving 10 death.
 II don't look now like woman just readyvfo die, do IT We'll, owe the re- novery of my health to a very simple circumstance. One day when ! 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 [ decided to take them in place of the doctors medicine. They helped me right away. In four days I could take weak tea and crackers. Tn two weeks I was able to leave my bed. pr. Will iiams' Pink Pills were the only thing that checked the vomiting and as soon as that was stopped my other difiicui- ties left me. I have a vigorous arpe- tife 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 m nluititudes of such cases every organ of the body finally gets out of order. for the nerves supply the vital energy to every part. Cases like these do not yfcld fo ordinary medicines. They Are reached and promptly cured by pr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. because these marvellous pills act at once on the blood and supply 1t with nourishfng elements that are carried to every nerve in the body.
 The way to feel well and to be we'll. is to keep the blood pure and rich. The remedy that does that the most quick ly. thoroughly. and cheaply is pr. Will Hams Pink Pills. They are sold by all druggists.

THE OUTcAST'S DREAM.

"Pass me not, o gentle SAVIOR"
Came the anthem, sweet and low
Through the church the music wan
dered,
Soft as autumn breezes blow;
And 1t seemed to one poor woman
Seated In a corner dim,
That her weary heart was solaced
By the music of the hymn.
"Pass me not, o gentle Savior"
Years ago she'd heard the song,
In the church down in tire valley,
Where the days seemed dull and
long.
Now with all her bright dreams
vanished,
Sick and faint, no friends to greet
She was but a homeless outcast-
Just wreck upon the street.
"Pass me not, o gentle Savior"
Worn and tired, the woman slept
While within her mind so weary
Fitting visions lightly crept.
And she saw the dear old home
stead
Where she'd spent her girlhood's
days,
Ere her erring steps had wandered
Into SINS broad, Turing ways.
pass me not, o gentle Savior"
All her dreams were fading fast,
Yet before her dulling senses,
Scenes of home and youth still
passed.
Father, mother, sisters, brothers,
Chlldhood's playmates-al were
there,
Round the pleasant little cottage
Where the daisies bloomed so fair
pass me not, o gentle Savior"
Now the services were done;
But the woman did not waken,
For her earthly course was run.
"God has called her." said the par.
son,
While tear stood in his eye;
"She fell wearied by the wayside,
But he did not pass her by"

Tramp Kidding Device.

The town of Selma, N. c., has
discovered an original way OF
getting rid of tramps. The rail,
way runs straight through the
town, and along the track is a
street half a mile long. Tramps
upon arrest are allowed by the
mayor to race for freedom, the
last man of the contest to go to
"the road" for thirty days.
Then the tramps are lined up at
the Town Hall, while a police
man is at the boundary, half a
mile away. The tramps run with
all their might, and the winners
are seen no more, while the
watching policeman captures the
last man, who is sent to "the
roads" 1t is said that tramps
90 near the town only once, and
that the device for getting rid of
them is entirely original.

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.

Advertising pays. This is no long
er controverted. 1t is accepted as a
matter of fact by every one. But
only those who have tried persist
emily can realize the immense profit
there is in it. A local business man
was advised by friend to invest in
advertising with assurance that he
would increase the investment each
year. He took his friends advice
and his business and his advertising
bill have grown larger each year
since. The Philadelphia Record
tells of a young man 1850 with few
thousand dollars who got hold of a
prescription which he considered a
valuable remedy. He began its
manufacture on a small scale, and
spent nearly of his capital for news
paper space. In six years he had
cleared s1,OOO,OOO. A st. Paul re-
porter asked him this question: "To
what do you attribute your success?"
His reply was: 40 advertising in
the newspapers and putting on the
market meritorious article"

him;
mir. Howley's early education was Sc
cured in the public schools of Brooklyn
After having been employed in bust
ness house in New York City for few
years he went west. where he learned
telegraphy and obtained employment as
telegraph operator. Later he returned
to New York and was appointed as tele-
grapher with the New York Central rail
road. While thus employed he learned
stenography and was afterwards CON
nected with the Pullman Palace Car COM
pany in that capacity. After four years
employment with the latter company he
successfully passed the competitive civil
service examination and was appointed
from the New York register and assign
ed to the $1,000 grade as stenographer
TO the chief clerk of the dead letter Of
fee. After remaining in that Office for
several months he was advanced to ST.
200 and transferred to the division of
salaries and allowances. In this divis-
ion he remained about three years, or
until Frank H. Jones was appointed
first assistant postmaster general. Up
to the time of the latter's appointment,
and for a few years afterward, there was
a statutory requirement that one of the
clerks of the $1,000 grade shall be a
stenographer and telegrapher," who was
designated secretary to the first assist
ant postmaster general. The first as
sistant, after vainly endeavoring to OBJ
tain an available man from the outside
having these qualifications, learned of
Mr. Howley's capabilities. and appointed
him to the place. When Perry ;. Heath
succeeded Mr.. Jones, he retained Mr.
Howley and promoted him to $500
First Assistant johnson and Wynne
also awaited themselves of his valuable
services and experience, and shortly af-
ter Mr.. Wynne's appointment as First
Assistant Postmaster General, as he had
known Mr.. Howley for years, he made
him his chief clerk at $500 per annum.

high tribute to his ability and loyalty

u him.

OUR REPRESENTATION IN CON
GRESS.

z GRESS.
Hon. J. c. Speight, of Graves, repub-
lean nominee for congress, is man
whose standing and ability insure a ca
reer in congress that would make the
First district proud of him.
Why send a fgurehead TO the national
capital when he can accomplish nothing
With a republican from "the Gibraltar"
the district would get many benefits.
The people would be surprised at the
difference. 1t would 90 long ways to-
wards securing improvements in the
Ohio, lock and dam near Paducah to
give a boating stage the year around,
and thus benefit every merchant. as well
as thousands of others interested di-
rectly or indirectly in river commerce.
This is cited as only one instance. Many
other things could be accomplished as
well. y
1t is well known why democrats can't
do these things as well as a republican.
A democrat in congress usually spends
his time trying to make himself solid
with his constituents by abusing the re-
publican> party, its policies, and the ad-
ministration, and As result, he gets
very little of what he asks be-
cause he has to look to those he
abuses for il. This may not be right,
but it is true, and it is the facts we have
to deal with in discussing sucn ques-
tons
\ man is sent TO congress to repre-
sent his district and do something for it.
II is consequently advisable to send
man who can accomplish the most and
if the voters in the First district will
elect Mr. Speight, they will not be long
in seeing a great Improvement. lie will
do something besides make a speech once
year. cast his vote-usually nay
when his name is called, and draw his
mileage and salary.
