THINKS WELLS IS WRONG.
Believes Purchase or BattIeship Serv-
ice Legal.

Governor Hoch thinks that State
Auditor Wells has made a mistake in
attempting to block. the purchase of
the silver service for the battleship
Kansas.
Il should hardly think that Auditor
Wells would attempt to interfere said
the governor. THE appropriation was
made by the legislature, and under the
general provisions of the law, the ex-
ecutive council viii be IN charge Of
the expenditure of the money. The
council has directed me to take care
of the business. However, I expect to
ask the attorney general for his opin-
ion in the matter"
Mr.. Wells is opposing the expendi-
ice because he believes that a combine
has been formed among the silver
smiths to ''hoId up the state on the
price of the service. He says that in
dependent jeweIry concerns cannot get
the silversmiths to even give them
prices on prepared designs.

JUROR IN GUITEAU'S CASE.
Seventh of the Panel Passes Away in
CITY of WASHINGTON.

The recent death Of Thomas 81. Lang
ley, member of the Guiteau jury, re-
calls that he was the seventh of that IA
nous jury to pass away. Nearly a quar-
ter of a century has passed since the
verdict was rendered which condemned
Guiteau to be hung, and from time to
time stories have been printed of the
tragic ending of the several jurors who
condemned him to death-all arising
from the illness Of one of them some
time after the law had been executed.
The remaining FIVE Of the jury, John
Hamlin, Bright, Brawner, Wormley and
Gates, are living in Washington and are
now what may be termed old men, as 50
years was the average age of the jury
tWenty-four years ago.
John 2. Hamlin, who was foreman Of
the jury, now in his eighty-third year,
was seen at his home on Columbia
Heights yesterday. Mr.. Hamlin has
been for a number of years messenger
to Senator Morgan's committee at the
capitol. Speaking of Mr.. Langley's
death Mr.. Hamlin said:
He was a most conscientious man
and good citizen. This death brings
our number down to five, regardless of
all sorts of stories that have been print
ed of us-how we have lived and died
since we hung Guiteau, who when our
verdict was rendered invoked Gods
curse upon US. You know they have
had me insane and in the poorhouse for
years, but here I am, and four of my
colleagues of that jury are still living
in Washington, I believe.
"Seven of us have died natural deaths
and I expect that the remaining FIVE Of
our number will pass away in the nat
ural order of mortal dissolution. I have
not regretted my action and I do not
think that any member of the Jury has
ever regretted what he did, added Mr..
Hamlin.
"The confinement of the jury was a
long and arduous one, but we came
through all right. After it was all over
our autographs were requested from all
parts of the world. In reply to one sent
to little boy in Connecticut his mother
sent me a beautiful gold medal, a me-
mortal of the 2OOth anniversary of the
founding of Yale college. which I have
priced very much. "-Washington Star

PARALYSIS CURED
Case Seemed Hopeless but Yielded to
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills.

Mr.. Kenney has actually escaped from
the paralytic's fate to which he seemed a
short time ago hopelessly doomed. The
surprising report has been fully verified
and some important details secured in q
personal interview with the recent suf-
ferer.
"The doctor,'' said Mr. Kenney, "told
me that if wanted to live any length
Of time would have to give up work al
together, and he told my friends that
the paralysis which had begun would in
time involve my whole body"
"Just how were you afflicted at this
time ?" Mr.. Kenney was asked.
"Well, had first hot, and then cold
and clammy feelings, and at times my
body felt as If needles were being stuck
into it. These sensations were followed
by terrible pains, and again would have
no feeling at all, but numbness would
come over me, and would not be able to
move. The most agonizing fortunes came
from headaches and pain in the spine.
Might after night could not get my
natural sleep and my system was wrecked
by the strain of torturing pains and the
effect of the opiates I was forced to take
to induce sleep. AS look back on the
terrible suffering I endured during this
period often wonder how I retained my
reason through it all.
But relief came quickly when I
was induced to try DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. The very first box
seemed to help me, and seven boxes made
me entirely well. There can be no doubt
about the thoroughness of my cure for T
have worked steadily ever since and that
is nearly four years"
Mr.. Kenney is at present employed by
the Merrimac Hat Company and resides
at 101 Aubin street, Amesbury, Mass.
The remedy which he used with such
satisfactory results, is sold by all drug
gists, CT direct by the DR.. Williams

Staple as Sugar and Coffee,

The magazine editors who are using
much of their space in attacks on
patent" medicines, seem to overlook
the fact that a large proportion Of the
population Of this country-nearly So
per cent, to be exact-live in rural dis
tricts, remote from physicians and
drug stores, and that it is necessary
for them to keep ready-prepared fam
lily medicines on hand for Immediate
use in case Of an emergency. On this
account, if on no other, the well-knowH
family remedies will continue to be
as staple as sugar and coffee.
