The response of the state regent of Iowa.

Of the finest efforts ever heard in a d.
A. r. Congress. Mrs. Stevens is not a
young woman she is not an orator In
the popular acceptation OF the term. and
she Is million miles removed from
studying effects in speaking. but her re-
marks yesterday fairly took the breath
away from her big audience. Slowly.
very slowly indeed, In clear. low tone
she sketched the manner in which the
venturesome people with the wander lust
in their blood penetrated the mountains
into the unknown forests of the Appa-
Iachian chain of mountains and how they
battled with hunger, with wild animals,
with Indians and with discouragements
and disaster to make homes. The Will
ened, civilization claimed the region. and
prosperity arrived. Yet she declared.
into the hearts Of the older ones came
often a longing for old friends, old sights.
old ties. but again the call of the wild car
ried the next generation over the Fa-
Their OF Waters, over the muddy mis-
souri,, across the great plains. and over
the rugged Rockies.
They encountered the same vicissi-
tudes, and the same longing for the
things OF old. but the cali reached them
even there In. the mountain Businesses
and they followed II on and on until the
broad Pacific tapped its waters at the feet
OF the wanderers. Again there came
longing to see the things that the sunrise

tinent. The places. the things that great
Grandfathers and mothers had told them
about, 90 we have come back to you

A CURE FOR DEBILITY
STRONG PRAISE FOR DR.. WILL
LIAMS' PINK PILLS.
A Reliable Remedy for the Weak,
Alllnp and Bloodless Of
Both Sexes

When the body is weak and the blood
thin it is sometimes diffiealt to find the
cause unless wasting illness has pre-
aeded, or the sufferer happens to be a
girl ON the verge OF womanhoOd.
Obscure influences, something un-
healthful in one s surroundings or work,
may lead to slow impoyerishment OF
the blood and an enfeeblement of the
whole body. When Il serious stage has
been reached there seems to be nothing
that will account for It.
In such cases complete change OF
climate or Of work will sometimes effect
a cure. 1t takes long time, however,
and for the great majority Of sufferers Is
out Of the question.
Mr. c. E. Legg. OF Upton, w. Va,
has found u successful method of treat
ing weakness and bloodlessness. He
says:
4 used DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
weakness caused by a lingering malarial
fever that began in the spring Of 1896.
The worst effects of this were indiges-
ton and bad state Of my blood. Twas
anainic, as the doctors say. People
generally would say that | didn't have
blood enough, or that didn't have the
right kind of blood mine was too thin.
My kidneys and liver were out of order.
l was badly annoyed by sour risings
from my stomach There was a good
deal of pain, too, III my back and under
my right shoulder blade.
How long did these troubles last? "
1" For over two years. For four
months Of that time | was under the
care of physician, but his medicine did
me no good. Meanwhile | learned Of
tho cures that had been wrought by DR..
Williams Pink Pills
" You owe your cure then to these
pills2"
" 1 certainly do, and also know that
they are helping others to whom | have
recommended them They have real
merit and l know of nothing that would
take their place"
The reason why DR.. Williams Pink
Pills effect such remarkable cures is be-
cause they purify and enrich the blood
which nourishes the nerves and gives
strength to every organ of the body,
They have cured obstinate cases of neu-
ralgia, nervous prostraton sciatica, in
somnia, as well as of partial paralysis.
