Obituary,

To my dear son Grant Pitzer. Dead
6 years. agoitoday but not forgotten.
How vain Is all beneath the skies
How transient every earthly bliss,
How slender all the fondest hopes
That bind us TO world like this.
But though our dearly loved ones die
And all beneath the sky is vain
There is a brighter world on high,
Beyond the reach of care and pain.
Then let the hope of joy to come,
Dispellou grief and ease our fear,
For God will bring the traveller home
Though passing through vale OF
tears.
Grant left u memory fair and sweet
Its fragrance here can never die
This life was brief yet still complete
When he through God was called
on high.
By his aged Mother

A well-known authority on Rheu-
matism gives the readers Of a New
York daily prper the following valua-
BILE, yet simple and harmless prescrip-
ton, which any one can easily prepare
at home.
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-haif
ounce; Compound Kargon. one ounce;
Compound Syrup SarsapariIla three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in bottle, and
take teaspoonful after each meal and
at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can be
obi ained from any good prescription
pharmacy At small cost, and, being Of
vegetable extraction, are harmless to
take.
This pleasant rnixture, II taken reg
ulariy for a few days, 10 said to os or
come almost any case OF Rheumatism
The pain aud swelling, II any, dimin-
ishes with each desc, until permanent
results are obtained, and without In
juring the stomach. While there are
many so-calied Rheumatism remedies
patent medicines, etc., some Of which
give temporary relief, few really give
permanent results, and the above will,
no doubt, be greatly appreciated by
many sufferers here at this time.

Among thosein attendance today at
Inc Democratic committee meeting is
george l. Neal, of Huntington, "a
member of the committee and Dem
ocrafic leader in S'abell county, says
last Thursdays Parkersburg Sentinel.
he u first Bryan advocate aAd next
asupperter Of Lewis Bennett for gov
ernor. Being asked conceraing the out
look on the gubernstorial situation
Mr.. Neal said:
"A number Of good men have been
considered in our section for saoverner,
but sentiment seems to have practical
~ settled on Hon. Louis Bennett, OF
Weston. So far l have net found sim
gle Democratic member Of the legisla-
turs In which Mr.. Bennett was speak
er, that is not his earnest supporter.
This speaks great deal for Mr.. Ben
nstts ability as an officer, and his per-
senaiity. His business interests are
large and varied. His education and
experience ibroad, and his dignity,
courtesy and fairness unquestioned.
Ne has been consistent party work
or. The fact that he has no factional
arrangements probably appeals To
our people as strongly as anything
that can be said in his favor. As can
didate fer the nomination he belongs
to himself; il nominated he will be-
long to the people of the whole state. .

Kennedy's Laxative Cough Syrup
the cough syrup tastes nearly as good
as maple sugar and which children
like SO well to take. Unlike nearly all
other cough remedies, 1t does not con-

through which the cold is forced out OF

JOHN MITCHELL RETIREs.
Affecting Scenes Mark Leave-Taking
From Followers.

Word was received here today that at
fecting episodes marked the dramatic
scene yesterday in the German House. In
dianapolis. when John Mitchell, after
ten years leadership of the United Mine
Workers of America, officially retired as
president Of that organization. A dispatch
from Indianapolis says:
''Tears are generally credited as a weak
ness Of women or the safety exhaust OF
children. But the dramatic scene in the
German House yesterday. when John Nit
chell took his farewell leave of the men
he has led for ten years demonstrated
that strong men with great hearts are
unable and even unwilling at times to
control the culver Of the lips and the
shedding Of tears. A thousand men gath
cred from the coal mining camps OF the
United States and Canada, passed in line
to shake hands with the man who has laid
aside the leadership. Few could say more
than God bless you.' and John could not
who filed past in that long line were just
common men. not immune from tears"
1t Is said Mr.. Mitchell will devote his
time 10 regaining his health. While he
has been offered many positions of I'm,
portance. he will undertake no work until
his health improves. 1t Is reported that
President Roosevelt has offered him a
mission to Panama and that the National
Civic Federation wants to place him at
the head Of bureau to investigate and
promote the use of trade agreements.
The present mining contracts in all the
soft coal fields of the country will ex-
pire with the presidency of John Mitchell.
Central Pennsylvania Is the only district
that has a new contract under which the
miners can continue at work April I.
The indications are that in nearly all
other fields the mines will close Tuesday
night not to open for several days, and in
some fields for several weeks.
The fact that John Mitchell will retire
as head of the mine workers organization
tomorrow was generally discussed in local
labor circles today. Regret was expressed
by all. but a leading member of the
American Federation of Labor said he
was consoled because, while Mr.. Mitchell
would cease to be president of the mine
workers. he would remain as member
of the executive council Of the A. F. of l..
AS such 1t is the expectation that he will
continue to be a power in the world of
labor.
It was also said that as soon as he re-
covers his health it is possible that Mr.
Mitchell may be called into a field of eff
fort in which he will continue to make
labor history while serving the millions
who toll.

POPS ARE QUICKENED
COXEY TO PRESIDE AT CONVEN-
TIoN-WATSoN FOR PRESIDENT

ST. LOUIS. April If the present
plans Of its sponsors prevail. out OF the
convention which is to be called here
Thursday in the name Of the people S
party will come an organization which its
originators declare must be sharply reck-
oned with in the coming presidential CAM
paign.
It will stand for all that was represent
ed by the populist party. and probably
VIII bear the name Of that organization.
1t will. however. receive an infusion of
new blood and gain strength from the
afiiliation Of the federated peoples party
clubs. the American Monetary League.
the National Provisional Committee and
other reform organizations.
]. s. Coxey OF Ohio. organizer Of Cox
eys army" which marched on Wash
1ngton several years ago Is slated for
temporary chairman Of the convention.
Former Representative NJ. w. Howard of
Alabama and Frank E. Richey of ST.
Louis are among those mentioned for
permanent chairman.
Unless present plans miscarry Thomas
Watson of Georgia. the standard bearer
OF the populist party in 1904. will be
nominated for President. While the Ne
braska delegation is instructed for Will
liam Jennings Bryan and the Alabama
ueIcsdtlOI1 IN ldNOT OF representa-
tive NJ. w. Howard Of that state, Yet
Watson is apparently far in the lead for
the nomination. So far but two names
are mentioned for Vice President. These
are Judge Samuel w. Williams of Vim
cennes, Ind, and Frank E. Richey OF St.
Louis The latter in a statement yes
terday said he was in no sense a candi-
date for the honor.
The paramount plank OF the platform
will be devoted to the money question.
This will declare in effect that the issu-
ing OF money is a function Of govern
ment that should never be delegated to
corporations or Individuals: that all
money should be issued by the govern
ment in such quantity as shall maintain
stability in prices; all money to be full
legal tender, none Of which shall be a
debt redeemable in other money. The de-
nand will also be made that the govern
ment shall make loans direct to the peo-
pie and at a lower rate of interest.
Other planks in the platform will be:
All public lands to be held for actual
settlers, and not to be subject to specula-
ton or alien ownership.
Government ownership OF railways and
all other public utilities of national scope.
