Can't Go Behind the Returns.

Denver, Nov. 1S.-The supreme
court yesterday reafiirmed its decision
that it has the right to take jurisdic-
ton of the last election, and the hear
ing of testimony in the cases of 81
election officers who have been cited
for contempt was commenced. The
court further held that the elections
commission in making the Denver
count cannot go behind the returns,
but must use the written count of the
election judges and not count the tai
lies. The decisions are victories for
the republicans, as in both cases the
motions of the republican attorneys
were sustained

GIRL AND WOMAN
CARE NEEDED AT THE CHANGE
FROM ONE TO THE OTHER.
Many n Life Spent in Suffering Because
Troubles Were Allowed to Develop
At This Time

AT Inls 1lnles
Every mother of q growing girl should
remember that there will come q time
when her daughter will be O girl no
longer but will share with her tho bless
ings of womanhood. Unless nourish-
ment keeps pace with growth the founda-
tions of life Of suffering are laid at
that time. Mrs. John MacKinney, of
No. 478 Thirteenth street, Detroit, Mich,
writes timely word. She says:
II did not get proper care at the first
critical time III my life and for seven
teen years suffered as @ result. had
dizzy spells, felt constant fear that
something dreadful was about to happen
and wns afraid to go out alone. My
breathing was very short and had pal
pitation of the heart so badly that I
could not go up stairs nor walk even
moderately fast. was so nervous that
I could not sit still. At different times
for years was under the care of the
best physicians i'll Detroit and tried
number OF advertised medicines. Moth
ing helped me until, on the advice of
neighbor, I tried DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People. I felt relieved before
the first box was finished and kept on
taking them until was cured.
"Last winter my little girl had rheu-
matism and I gave her DR.. Williams Pink
Pills and she got well right away. My
niece was thought to be going into con-
sumption and, upon my advice, she tried
the pills. They cured her cough and she
is now well and strong. My entire FAM
lily are enthusiastic over DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People and we cam
not say enough i'll their praise"
These pills effect such cures be-
cause they go to the root of the disease.
Other remedies act on the symptoms
these marvellous vegetable pills remove
the cause of the trouble. They have
proved themselves to be an unfailing
specific for all diseases arising from i'm
pure blood and weakened nerves-two
fruitful causes of nearly all the
ills to which humankind is heir. DIR.

PASSENGER TRAINS COLLIDED.
THREE MEN KILLED AND NINE
PERSONS INJURED.
The Trains Came Together at "Y"
Junction at EImdaIe, Mich
Switch Was Not
Turned.

Detroit, Mich, Nov. 17.-Two pas
sengers were killed and nine or more
passengers and trainmen were injured
in a rear-end passenger train collision
last night at Elmdale, on the Pere
Marquette railroad. The dead:
NJ. Simons, New York City.
]. l.. Strelitzkey, Chicago.
Late last night the mangled body of
a colored man was dug out of the
wreck. 1t is supposed the body is
that of the porter of the parlor car.
The collision occurred at Elmdale
Junction, % miles east of Grand Rap
ids. Both trains were eastbound, No.
for Detroit and No. "a for Saginaw.
The Saginaw train had preceded the
Detroit train out of Grand Rapids by
a few minutes and was standing on a
"Y' at Elmdale, where the Saginaw
division branches off from the Detroit
division. Through some mistake the
switch was not turned behind the
Saginaw train and the Detroit train
also ran upon the "Y," the engine of
the Detroit train crashing into the
rear of the parlor gar of the Saginaw
train.
The passengers injured were in the
parlor car of the latter and the train
men who were hurt were on the De
troit train. The Pere Marquette of
ficials at Detroit state that the Detroit
train was running slow, as it was ap-
preaching a station.
No explanation has been made as to
where the responsibility lies for fail
ure to throw the switch behind the
Saginaw train when it had turned
from the Detroit division. Ordinarily
there is 20 minutes time between the
two trains, but last night the Saginaw
train was held at Grand Rapids to
wait for passengers from a train on
the Chicago division. Through this
arrangement the Detroit train was
following close behind the Saginaw
train as far as Elmdale.

RIOTING IN CHICAGO.
Strikers Attacked a Furniture Com
pany's Wagons that Were in Charge
of Non -UnioniSts.

Chicago, Nov. 1S.-A mob of sympa-
thizers with striking furniture movers
attacked several wagons of the John
son Chair Co. in the heart of the bust
ness district yesterday and for time
traffic was blocked by mass of strug-
Cling rioters. The drivers of the
wagons were menaced by the mob.
The few policemen on hand were help
less TO make any headway against the
crowd, which only gave way when re
Inducements of police arrived.
Similar trouble occurred when two
wagons loaded with chairs drove up to
the Sherman street entrance to the
board of trade building. A crowd of
over 1000 persons followed the
wagons, which were under police
guard, and many threats were made
against the non-union drivers.
The doors of the Jackson boulevard
side of the board of trade building
were locked and other doors guarded,
that no trouble might occur in the
building. Operators, clerks and mes
sengers gathered upon window ledges
of the board of trade and surrounding
buildings, threw corn upon the crowd
and increased the confusion by yelling
continuously. The corn throwers We're
finally dislodged by the police.
Ropes which held dozens of chairs
on the wagons were cut Foes of the
non-union drivers hurled chairs at the
wagon men. Two patrolmen received
injuries from chairs. A running fight
! ensued, the crowd pursuing the
wagons all the way back to the fac
tory

Democrats Vie with Republicans in
Paying a Tribute of Esteem to the
Vice President-EIect.

indianapolis, Nov. 17.-Political af-
filiatiOns We're forgotten last night
when several hundred representative
men of both the republican and dem
ocratic parties assembled at the Com
mercial club to congratulate Senator
Charles w. Fairbanks, vice president
elect.
John w. Kern, democratic nominee
for governor, sat side by side with
Senator Albert ]. Beveridge and Sen
ator Fairbanks, and the combination
added enthusiasm when the leaders of
the two parties engaged in friendly
political repartee. John w. Kern
acted as chairman of the meeting and
called upon Senator Fairbanks, Sen
ator Beveridge, Judge F. E. Gavin and
Addison c. Harris, formerly minister
to Austria.
Senator Fairbanks was given pro-
longed applause when he rose to
speak. In his Introductory address
Mr.. Kern paid a high tribute to the
vice president-elect saying that in the
whole campaign he heard no bitter
word fall from his lips, and that he
yielded the same liberty to his oppo-
nents as he himself claimed under the
American flag.

After lying submerged for nearly co
years, the remnants of the first At.
lantic liner are being put to CONNER

steamer to cross the Atlantic, was lost
off the south coast of Ireland, and
the wreck remained undisturbed till
early this year. when it was raised

These realized a good sum, and the

Four Men Were Asphyxiated,

New York, Nov. 1S.--Four men were
asphyXiated by gas at Dover, n. j.,
yesterday at the plant of the Dover,
Rockaway and Port Dram Gas Co.
They constituted the entire working
force of the plant and We're discovered
by George f. Bunnell, a former en-

gines and attending to the boilers,
Bunnell found the four men beneath

Every American and nearly every
other civilized man recognizes the
queer name "Sequoya" at once as re-
ferring to the wonderful big trees of
California. But how many people
know where the name comes from?
The godfather of the great trees was
Sequoya, a Cherokee Indian. He died
in 1S43, at the age of S3 years, and
he left behind him something that
makes his name much more famous
among the Cherokces than the fact
that the hig trees are named after
him. Th was the Cherokee syllable

TO FIGHT SHoPLIFTERS.
Losses of Half Million Dollars Have
Been Sustained by 21 Department
Stores in New York City This Year.

Stores in New York City Ihls year.
New York. Nov. 1S.-Losses of half
a million dollars through shoplifting
have been suffered during the past
year by q department stores in this
city, whose proprietors because of
such losses have formed an alliance
to fight petty pilfering The fact such
an alliance had been formed came out
yesterday when a woman was given
15-day prison sentence in the court of
general sessions, after having pleaded
guilty TO a charge of stealing goods
from a department store.
Hitherto the storekeepers have been
willing to let offenders off with a fine,
and the court as a rule has acted ac-
cordingly. Before sentence was i'm
posed yesterday the attorney who had
prosecuted the case said that his law
firm had been retained by an alliance
of 2l department stores to prosecute
every case of shoplifting.
The shoplifting evil has become so
great" said he, lowing to the leniency
Of justices of special sessions, that it
is very serious matter to the firms
concerned During the past year the
LOSSES through SHopllltllS W tHS Il
firms in this alliance which | repre-
sent have amounted to 100000"
The several justices declared that
they believed they had been too leni-
ent in shoplifting cases, because most
of the defendants had been women.
Justice Wyatt, speaking for the entire
bench, said he would make the wo-
mans sentence severe enough to
serve as an example for others. He
then imposed the sentence of Is days,
but announced that the next prisoner
convicted on such charge would get
a 30-day sentence

about to gather their late crops.
Months ago the vineyards promised an
abundant yield, but storms, frost,
sleet and mildew have spoiled large
tracts in many districts. The con-
tinuous droughts in the provinces of
Valencia, La Mancha and Aragon, at
the critical period for the develop
ment of the grapes, has materially
diminished the wine product.
