Head Ache
SOnetimes?

If so, it will interest you to
know that it can be stopped
with DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills !;
and without any bad after
effects, and this without dan
ger of forming a drug habit or
having your stomach disar-
ranged. They positively con-
tain no opium, morphine, CO.
caine, choral, ether or chloro-
form in any form. DR.. Miles
Anti-Pain Pills relieve pain,
and leave only sense OF relief.
The reason for this is explained
by the fact that headache comes
from tired, irritable, turbulent,
over-taxed brain nerves. Anti
Pain Pills soothe and strength
en- these nerves, thus removing
the cause. They are harmless
when taken as directed.
1--WE use DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills
for the cure of headache, and we
think that there is nothing that will
equal them. They will cure the
severest spell OF nervous or sick
headache in very few minutes. l
am Of nervous temperament, and
occasionally have spells when my
nerves seem to be completely exhaust
ed, and / tremble so I can scarcely
contain myself. At these times l al
ways take the Anti-Pain Pills, and
they quiet me right away. 1t is re-
markable what a soothing effect they
have upon the nerves."

sALuTED THE WRONG SHIP

San Juan, Porto Rico.-The arrival
Of Secretary Root here caused a
laughable incident at the expense of
the captain of the italian cruiser Um-
bria. The wireless telegraph report
ed that the United States cruiser
Charleston, with Mr.. Root on board,
was due to arrive here at neon on
Monday. At that hour the United
States revenue cutter Algonquin en-
tered the harbor from the island of
st. Thomas, Danish West Indies, with
Postmaster Lands and Collector of
Customs Causten of San Juan on
board. The Umbria thereupon fired
a salute of seventeen guns, but after
wards sent a lieutenant on board the
Algonquin explaining tina. the COM
nlarder Of the Umbria thought the
Algonquin was the Charleston. The
firing of the salute by the Umbria
caused rush of spectators to the
water front.

BRYAN ON RECEPTION
Must Not Be Regarded in Light Of
Endorsement for Presidential
Nomination

London-'It is two years before the
convention meets, and | am not will
ing to sit on a stool and look pretty
that long. | prefer to be in position
to say what | think ought to be said,
write what think ought to be written
and do what think ought to be doneI"
William J. Bryan in these words out
lined his position in regard to his
boom for the presidency of the United
States on arrival here from Norway
late this afternoon, twelve hours ear
lier than his friends had expected.
With Mrs. Bryan, he landed at New
castle yesterday and remained there
over night, desiring an opportunity
quietly to complete some writing. On
reaching here Mr.. Bryan went to the
Hotel Cecil, where ne was soon be-
seiged by callers John Burns. Will
liam T. Stead and Mrs. Stead came
early in the evening and paid an ex-
tended visit. Messrs. Bryan, Burns
and Stead engaged in an animated
discussion of economics and of the
social and labor questions.
Outlines His Position
Mr. Bryan received a great mass of
American mail. When he had finished
reading his letters he received a dep
utation of newspaper correspondents
and dictated the following statement:
"The first suggestion of reception
for me at New York came prior to the
action of any of the state conventions
and before there was any discussion
of the next campaign. 1t came from
the Commercial Travellers league, of
which Mr. Hoag is president. l assured
him | should be pleased to meet the
members of the league, suggesting that

the reception be characterized by sim
plicity.
Now, that the actions of some of the
state conventions have raised a ques.
ton as TO the political significance of
the reception, am glad to say that
it must not be regarded in the light
of an Endorsement for the presidential
nomination While W hhiiie appreciate the
compliment paid by the various state
conventions, do not regard their ex-
pressions as binding upon them or
upon the party of their state. / shall
not prosecute them for breach of
promise If they transfer their affec-
lions to another; i shall not even pub
lish their letters. To allow the recep-
ton to be regarded as an Endorsement
would in the first place be unjust
to others who may be candidates.
Others To Be Considered
II have seen the names of several
mentioned as possible candidates,
among them Congressman Hearst,
Senator Bailey and Governor Folk,
who have all rendered conspicuous
service to the party and the country,
and their claims should be considered.
The party is entitled to it's most avail
able man, and the question of avail
ability can not be determined SO far
in advance. Circumstances and issues
may strengthen the claims of some of
the gentlemen mentioned, and the list
should be an open one until the time
comes to choose.
81 may add that it would not be
just to me to be put in the attitude
of announcing my candidacy or admit
ting the certainty of my being can
didate l am advancing in years and
can not spare two years out of my
life just at this time.
II shall be glad to return to Amer
lea, although every day of my trip has
been enjoyable | shall be glad to meet
my friends in America, and after I
have met them they will be just as
free as before to do what they think
best on issues and candidates
Glad at McCIelIan's Escape
When told that Mayor George B. Nc
Clellan was in London Mr.. Bryan said
he had not heard he was here. He
expressed his qualification that Mr.
Mcclellan had escaped from the Sails
bury railroad wreck, and said he hoped
to meet him.
Mr.. Bryan will speak at the Amer
lean society dinner tomorrow night.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan will spend the
week end with Ambassador and Mrs. |
~
turning here July %, when Mr.. Bryan
will attend the inter-parliamentary |
conference. Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan will |
then make a tour of Scotland, going
thence to France and Spain.

The High school may not be perfect; but it would not been done in the town in recent years which has contributed so much to the cause of education as the establish ment of free public high school and there is no doubt that it is appreciated.
