MORE TROOPS NEEDED;

Attempt Made to Cut Off Towns Water
Supply-Explosive Found
in Time.

Ziegler, H., Dee. 5.-Sheriff Stein of
Benton has appealed to Gov. Yates to
send two more companies of militia to
Ziegler. He made the request yesterday
and is today awaiting an answer. An
effort has apparently been made to blow
up the water mains leading from the
pump station to the town of Zegler
About halfway between the Dyle block
house and the pumping station Private
Martin Thompson reports having found
thirty-fve sticks of dynamite lying on the
ground Immediately over the water
mains. A fuse had been attached and
burned up and exploded one cap, but it is
believed by Thompson that the rain of
Friday night prevented the explosion and
thus saved the plant. The dynamite
sticks found were not of the make used
in the mines for blasting.

Too Great a Resemblance.

Bishop Olmsted of Denver is interested
in a number of charities and obtains
many generous contributions on their be-
half from rich EpiscopaIians.
There is in Denver, however, a mil
Bishop Olmsted's pet projects. He is
generous man. and in his own way he as
sists the poor, but to organized charity,
for some reason, he heartily objects. The
bishop often asks him for subscriptions
but these requests are almost invariably
refused.
Recently the millionaire had his por
trait painted. Bishop Olmsted met him
the other day and said:

portrait"
"And did you ask it for a subscrip-
tion?" said the millionaire smiling.
NO" said Bishop Olmsted Il saw

demonstrates the Power OF DR.. Williams"
Pink Pills to Restore Vigor to Shat
tered Nerves.
Mrs. Leander Lane, wife OF the minis
ter of the Christian Church, of No. 2O1O
1 street, South Omaha, Neb., tells how
her daughter has been enabled to resume
her professional work as a teacher after
suffering for nearly three years from Sc
we're nervous prostration
When she was passing from girl
hood to womanhood," says Mrs. Lane.
"she suffered greatly from difficulties
peculiar to her sex. The physician did
not help her, but q few boxes of DR..
Williams Pink Pills brought about the
perfect regulation of her system.
"While she had escaped from one
grave trouble, she unfortunately began
to overwork, first as student and then
as teacher i'll a large Iowa institution
for orphan boys. She enjoyed her work
and was very enthusiastic, but the strain
finally told on her. She became pale.
weak, nervous, unable to sleep; she had
no appetite and she suffered from Sc
we're headaches. Then came complete
breakdown and her work had to be given
up.
" In this emergency we again tried DR..
Williams Pink Pills. Improvement;
came at first slowly and we sometimes
doubted whether she was gaining, but
we noticed that whenever she stopped
taking the pills she fell back, and when
ever she resumed the use of them she
revived and SO we kept up the treatment
until she recovered her usual health and
was able to take position in one of our
universities where she is happily at
work. My mother, my daughter and
myself have a well-founded confidence
in the merits of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
and are always ready to recommend
them
This is simply one more proof that
these pills seek disease at it's source
and effect fundamental cures. They
cure various diseases because these have
a common origin i'll impaired blood or
nerves. They put the entire system i'll a
healthy condition, because they intro
duce vigor that is distributed to every
part They arrest physical decay when
1T seems inevitable and find road to
restoration when the doctor misses it.
They are sold by all druggists through
out the world.

Is Now a World Power.

The fiitieth anniversary Of the birth
of the republican party was celebrated
at Jackson, Mich. last week. Many
prominent republicans made excellent
speeches, That OF Hon. Russell A.
AIger was IN part as follows:
Fifty years ago today, here, under
the oaks, guided by the great stall
warts, Chandler, Howard, Blair, Bing-
ham and. others an idea took root
which eliminated in the formation Of
a party destined to stand the invin-
chile champion of freedom and pro-
lection. of unity and of prosperity.
Fifty years ago the American flag
was accorded either slight courtesy or
treated with contempt by the world
powers. Today the stars and stripes
sail majestically around the globe and
are saluted in every port as is no other
flag. Fifty years ago the United
States was entirely ignored when war
conferences between nations were be-
ing held. Republican wisdom, given
expression either In thought or action,
mas rescued the nation from this in.
glorious position and raised it to one
Of power and influence, the envy Of
every other country on the globe.
