why All the Pearl Streets,

Can you. tell me why it is that in
nearly every town Of any size you are
sure to find a Pearl street? There is
reason in plenty for Main street, State,
Front, River, Water, Church, Chapel,
High. etc, but this SO often repeated
Pearl street is< too much for me- II
it were only here and there 1t might
pass for a coincidence, but it is so gen
eral that ! am inclined to think there
must be some reason for it, though for
the life OF me can't imagine what
the reason may be. Though it may
seem queer to you, have special
ground for wondering about this thing.
/ am not Jealous Of the man or woman
or thing that may be the cause Of it
all, but whoever or whatever he, she
or It may be am anxious to find out

YOUNG COUPLE MISSING.
Disappeared from Leavenworth Homes
in Mysterious Manner.

Leavenworth, Kas., Nov. 23.-Miss
Frances Miller, lately employed at the
Thomas shoe store on North Fifth
street, and Omar Reed, who until a
short time ago was a driver for the
Pacific Express company. have disap-
peared and nothing is known as to
their Whereabouts.
Miss Miller left her home, near the
corner Of Fourth and Pottawatomie
streets a week ago yesterday morn
ing and her parents supposed she had
gone to the store to work as usual.
She did not appear at the store at the
usual hour that morning. but she car
ried a grip and there was something
unusual about her actions. Along
about 10 O'Clock she picked up her
grip, told the people in the store good
bye, and left. She had previously told
employees of the store that she was
married, but they supposed that she
was only joking.
The girls father went to the court
house and was informed by the pro-
bate judge that a marriage license had
not been issued for Reed and his
daughter Mr.. Miller objected to
Reeds attentions to his daughter be-
cause she was not yeI Of age. Neither
Reed nor Miss Miller have been seen
since the day she left the store with
her grip, and it is the supposition
that they have left town and were
married.

BALFOUR TO RETIRE.
An Early Dissolution of Parliament Is
Now Expected.

London. Nov. 23.-The recent ru-
mors of an early dissolution of parlia-
ment and an appeal to the country are
grad ually crystalizing into more def
mite form and while no official intima-
ton has vet been forthcoming. the
idea is prevalent in we'll informed po-
litical circles that Premier Balfour
Will take an early opportunity to place
his resignation in the hands of the
king. Should this materialize the lib
erals will be invited to form. a govern
ment, parliament viii meet for a few
days session and a general election
will occur early in the new year. The
political situation was so radically
altered during the last week that even
the government supporters no longer
argue that Balfour has a sufficiently
united party at his back to again meet
parliament with the object of initial
ing any legislation to the public ad-
vantage. The premier's appeal to tn e
uniOnists at Newcastle a week ago to
unite on his fiscal policy has not met
with much success. On the contrary
Joseph Chamberlain. the most power
full private member of the unionist
coalition, directly joined issue with his
chief by a speech at Bristol Tuesday
calling on uniOnism to rally to the
support of his own more drastic fiscal
proposals which include a so cent tax
on grain. The cleavage of the party
was thus more markedly accentuated
and many unionist politicians hold that
no good purpose could be served by a
longer retention of Office and that the
wea kness of the party will only be
further accentuated by a perpetuation
of existing rivalries between the two
sections.
cabinet meeting has been called
for tomorrow. This will be only the
second held this fall and the fact that
there have been so few conferences
between the ministers is taken as an
other indication of the imminence of a
change of government.
On the stock exchange a definite
announcement of the resignation of
the cabinet is expected at any time
and the whole market today was fiat
in consequence.
The liberals are inclined to resent
Mr.. Balfour's resignation at the pres
ent moment. They contend that the
premier should remain in Office a few
weeks longer and himself dissolve par
lament and appeal to the country.
The liberals see no reason why the
present opposition should put them
selves to the Inconvenience of forming
a government in the dark without
knowing what forces they will COM
mand in the new parliament and they
object to what they designate as Mr..
BalfOur's tactical maneuver, whereby
the liberal attack would be turned into
a defense before election and Mr.. Bal
four would be given a free hand to
arrange with Mr.. Chamberlain for
concerted action against the liberal
DartV.

The Letters ~. s." Will No Longer
Follow Isle of Pines.

Washington, Nov 2s.-sIn the new map
for 1905 issued by the general land
office, the little dot Of land lying off the
coast of Cuba and known as the Isle Of
Pines, will no longer have the letters
"U s." following its name. This decis-
ion has been reached by the general
land office which since 1900 has desig-
mated this bit of land "Pfsse 9<sl0nd" GU.
81. The official maps have had the
island indicated as an American possess
sion for over four years.
Frank Bond. chief of the map divis-
ion of the geSeral land office. said today
that the letters u. s. had been placed
after Pine island by mistake and that
the error would be rectified on the new
maps. There is pending in the senate

THINK IT TINE TO SPEAK.

Having seen the statement of the
city physician and also the statement
of Mrs. Snendlove. we thought it was
time for US 10 state our experience.
as we have had experience with both
antitoxin and Golden Chemical Com
pound in our family.
Our little girl, II years old. came
down with diphtheria. The doctors
used antitoxin to the extent of 1900
units. we thought she was getting
well, but at the end of thirteen days
she died. the doctor said with paralysis
OF the heart. Then the doctor said
use antitoxin to prevent the others
from taking the diphtheria. So they
did, and TO our great sorrow added
another death. The antitoxin killed
our baby boy, eight months old, who
was in perfect health. On, we wish
every parent would take warning and
not allow antitoxin used on his chill
dren. It killed our baby boy.
Then our 13-year-old girl came
down with diphtheria, and they Went
at her the same as the others and We
saw we would lose her TOO If there
wasn't something done, and we didn't
know what to do. Just at that time
one of my neighbors got a bottle OF
Golden Chemical Compound and
asked US to try it. We did So and
wish to say had it not been for G. c.

And we believe If we had used G.
