oHIoANs soRELY AFFLICTED.
Three Times Within Five Weeks Have
They Been Grieved BY Death.

Columbus, O., Feb. 1S.-Gov. Her
rick telephoned from Washington We'd
nesday afternoon instructions for the
issuance of supplementary prOclama-
tion requesting that as a further mark
of respect to the memory of the late
Senator Hanna all business in the
state be suspended for five minutes
from to LOS p. M, Friday, during
the funeral services at Cleveland.
The joint resolution drawn up by
the committee of state officers and
members of the legislature pays the
following tribute to the late senator:
Three times in the space of five
weeks Ohio has been shocked and
grieved by the death of distinguish
ed citizen, whose leadership among
his fellows had gained for him the
highest popular favor. Two of these
have filled the governors chair with
conspicuous ability; the third, facile
primceps as chief Of his party Organi-
zation, as senator in the national con-
gress, as broad-minded statesman and
philanthropic citizen, was one of the
most influential men of his time.
Merging from private life less than a
decade ago, and from the beginning
much misunderstood and much abused,
not to say cordially hated by those
who didn't know him, in a few f1eeting
years he had compelled the admiration
of all, and had won the trustful love
of both Marcus A. Hanna was a mas
terful man; but he was also man of
high and honorable purposes, and of
genial disposition. He went straight
to the mark, but there was nothing
sinister in his methods. He was al
ways out in the open, honest, Jealous,
frank and fair With such method he
won success and fairly earned the re-
markable Endorsement which called
out that proud and happy utterance
which is still ringing in our ears,

disturbed action of the kidneys would
try DOan's Kidney Pills. AS was the
case with me, they will be more than
surprised with the results. have beenl
troubled for years with my spine I
could not lie on either side Spinal
cramps would follow, and words could
not explain the agony which l would
endure. While in these cramps could
not speak or move, but by making
a great effort after the cramp had
left me l could begin to speak and
move little, but my whole back was
so sore and lame that l could not even
have my back bathed for some time.
My nerves were in a terrible state. I
would rather sit up at night than go
to bed, dreading the cramps and the
terrible backaches. l consulted physi-
clans, but got only little relief for the
time being. Seeing your advertisement,
my mother urged me to try Doan'S
Kidney Pills. After using one box I
was better, and have ever since been
on the gain. have no backache and
no cramps now, and feel like a new
person. My nerves are better and I
know my blood is purer. Words can
not express my thanks to you for what
Doan's Kidney Pills have done for me.
In my work as professional nurse I
have chance to recommend them;
and they did me so much good that
will do so on every possible occasion.

FREE RECLINING CHAIR OARS.

1.-THE Henderson Route Always First
The travelling public will be pleased
60 learn of the latest innovation in the
way of comfort in travel for its patrons
which is now being offered by that
snost popular railroad, the Henderson
Route which road has been rightly
termed the " Kentuckian's Official
Route to the West and Southwest"
1t has just been announced from the
general Office of the Louisville, Hender-
son & St. Louis Railway that they now
have in service on their night trains
between Louisville and st. Louis, Free
Reclining Chair Cars, which have just
been received from the shops and are
revelation in the car builders art.
The cars are strictly up-to-date, first
class 'spalacss of travel on wheels, and
this is only one of the many surprises
which are promised the public for the
Worlds Fair travel by the Henderson
Route.
Among other advantages offered in
these highly finished cars, few of the
most important points only are men,
toned:
They are solidly vestibuled and are
furnished with sixty-four reclining
chairs, which are upholstered in beauti-
fuI green plush, in addition to smoking
and toilet rooms, the smoking rooms be-
ing finished throughout in leather.
They are also fitted up with triple
trucks, which feature will do away
with the jerk, jar and strin incident to
Gravel in the ordinary railway coach,
and insures smooth. comfortable ride.
This should prove more than a popular
feature in train service to the travelling
public, and you can only suggest that in
travelling you ''get the Henderson

Fellow Countrymen.

An English actor tells story OF
an Irishman named Flanagan, who
had been out of work for some time,
and at length applied to circus pro-
prietor for position.
There were no regular places open,
but the manager looked Flanagan
over and said:
Our largest lion died last week,
but we kept his skin, and if you like
to get into it and be shown as lion,
you can have the job"
Flanagan agreed. At the first show
the proprietor stepped into the cage
and said, Ladies and gentlemen. To
prove the docility of this roaring lion,
1 shall order him into the cage with
ferocious tiger"
Flanagan hung back, but the cir
Gus proprietor prodded him with a
sword and threatened to run him
through, and the lion was driven
into the same cage with the tiger.
There he backed into corner and
cried: "Shpare mel"
Then the ferocious tiger jumped
to his feet and answered, Eye needn't
be afraid of me. I'm an IrishmaA

INDIAN TALE WITH A MORAL.
Description of the Treatment Of the
Reds by the United States
Government

Charles Gibson, the Indian writer.
tells this story:
There was certain young man.
an Indian, who was 'e-notee, which
in English is wanting fresh meat
SO he shouldered his brindle stock
human rifle and struck out for the
mountains for a fat deer. He looked
all day, but failed to find deer. Late
in the day as the sun began to hide
behind the oaks. he came upon large
bunch of hogs. Some were old sows,
some were barrows. some were shoats,
some were young pigs. The pigs were
frisking along in front, the shoats
came next, the sows and barrows were
grazing slowly in the rear. There
being such nice herd, the hunter fol-
lowed them for some time. After 50
long time. he happened to look on
ahead at the pigs. Just ahead of the
pigs sat a large wolf enjoying the
sight of so many fat porkers. The
frisky little fellows came right along
until they were right up to the wolf.
and some of them shifted the air.
bristled, and looked up into the VOLTS
countenance. The wolf was very
quiet, and gently reached out his left
paw and stroked the pigs. The little
pigs enjoyed the sport, and the wolf
by way of variety, wagged his tail for
them.
About this time the older hogs
were coming dangerously near, so
without disturbing the peace of the
pigs the wolf quietly eased away from
the older ones of the family. This
time he stretched himself out on the
ground so the pigs would imagine
they had come upon dead wolf, and
the pigs found him and rooted him
about in their playfulness. 1t was all
right with the wolf. but it was gettina
late and the sport was becoming mo
notonous, so he looked the pigs over
and found one that seemed to fit al
around. There was little squeak
only one, and that was all. One pis

serene in few minutes; the grains
was continued. About every hour this
little disturbance was re-enacted until
the pigs were all gone.
THE stuff the hogs ate represents
