There spoke the voice Of two Re-

promise OF that declaration has been
faithfully observed with painstaking
and assiduous care. The Republican
administration which Is now drawing
TO a close has engaged In completing
and perfecting the machinery, In ap-
plying the standards and working out
the practical results OF established Re-
publican policies. including also the
Mckinley policies of a protective tariff
and sound finance.
The Republican party stands now,
as Mckinley stood, for a. protective
tariff. while the Democratic party
stands against the principle Of pro-

With the maternal instinct dead and

land woman, the mother of four chill
dren, ranging in age from four to nine
years, who has been under the sur

formed by Matron Schroeder that she
was unfit to live with her children,
who are to be declared dependent and
placed in a home. The husband was
this morning sent to St. Anthonys
hospital and placed under the care
of the county physician. The hus-
lands condition is critical. He de-
clared this morning that he would
never speak to his wife again and that
thenceforth their paths would di-
verge.
WANTS PLEASURE.
According 10 evidence gained by the
authorities, it appears that this woman
became dissatisfied with the incessant
round of household duties and the bur
den of caring for her children. and in
company with another married wo-
man, who lived nearby. began to steal
cut of the house at night on some pre-
text or other. The two women would
then meet men by appointment and
repair TO various resorts.
HUSBAND FOLLOWS.
When his wife remained out until
end 2 O'Clock in the morning, the hus-
band became suspicious and one night
followed her. She met two men on a
down town street, and the three then
repaired TO the Watch Tower. With
his money gone after his long illness,
and credit denied at the grocers and
the drug store, the husbands plight
vas a pitiable one, and the matter was
reported 10 the authorities, who dis
covered that the children We're want

will be cared for in some institution.

In the good old-fashioned days Of
our grandmothers they depended upon
the roots and herbs of the field to re-
lieve disease.
Years have passed by, but science
has never been able to improve upon
the medicinal effects of these same
roots and herbs which are natures
cure for disease.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com

male ills, had its origin in this way
and today tons of roots and herbs

Tom Settle Wants to Befqul the Govsrnor-

Politicians have learned
with decided interest of the
report that Thomas Settle,
Esq, Of Buncombe county,
will be a candidate for the
Republican nomination for
Governor and that he will
make his race on a local
option platform. It is said
that Mr.. Settle is willing to
make the race if the local
option plank is included in
the platform, not otherwise,
and many declare for this
reason that be will not be
the nominee, for they argue
that the Republican party is
committed to prohibition just
as much so as the Democratic
party, and cannot afford to
break faith with the temper>
ance people. Local politicians
regardless of party affiliations
concede that if Settle runs on
a local option platform, he
will poll a tremendous vote.
