ADMIRAL CLArK.


 The death of Rear Admiral Charles E. Clark, retired for the past 1T years, re- moves another prominent figure in na- val history, Probably more people know about the famous run of the battlesh.p Oregon from he Pacific coast, by way of Cape Horn than remember that t was Admiral Clark who was resp onsihle for the magnificent accomplishment of that great fighting machine.
 Though it wasn't known at the time the United States fleet could have taken care of the Spanish warships at the hat tie of Santiago without the assistance of the Oregon. To make sure of victory it's, presence was desired that a third more strength to the battleships mighl be added for adequate protection. Ad- miral Clark was one of those who was always prepared. He was confident, his Oregon could make the trip in tne. His crew backed up hat confidence. That famous circling of the horn that left tht Oregon in fighting shape when 1t ar rived and found it with steam up wher the Spanish undertook to escape permit ted 1t to participate in the destruction of three Of the vessels. It was magni f1cent record and it is impossible to giv' Admiral Clark too much credit for tn, masterful guidance of that powerful fighting ship, the builders of which like wise shared in the most creditab:e dem onstration.

Some Facts About the Civil War.
 MT. Editor; Tn 1881 young men were called to the coiors, and proud they were to respond for the Civil war. Who remembers the affair today? Just think 7S out of every 100 men were beardless youths who entered those terrible hard ships. Napoleon Bonaparte, who cea- auered Moscow and was the hero of 100 battles, lost Is per cent of his men. It is a statistical fact that we lost 45 per cent of our men in the Civil war At that time half of the land was dreached with blood and the other half with tears. At the national encampment of the G. A. R., this year, there were great honors to be paid to the oldest and youngest veteran of the Civil war, There seems to be in some towns coelRess or fear on the part of the ladies to give the proper respect and courtesy to old vet erans, but not so in the cities

 What the outcome of the conference setween the miners and the soft coal operators at Cleveland will be furnishes rood material for guesswork.

REGULATING FIREARMS. SALE.

For the purpose of reducing crime, and . especially the taking of life, it has been repeatedly advocated that special re- Etrictions should be placed about the manufacture and sale of firearms. The Idea has been that making It more dif- Aeult to obtain such weapons will oper~ ate to insure greater safety. Such might be the case if the restrictions could be enforced and if the firearms could be by such manner kept away from the eriminally inclined. Where laws have been adopted it has been found that the enforcement placed a premium upon the protection of home without keeping the weapons, or a license to have them, lvay from those who are by their in- situations menace to public safety
 Those who have believed that the householder should not be deprived of Inc means of defending himself and family, and those whe have felt that firearms should not be denied those who use them for hunting or target practice, have not opposed effective regulation al- though the failure to accomplish such has not gone unnoticed. It is realized of course that firearms are not the only means of taking life and they are by no means the chief resort of those who com nit suicide.
 One serious defect in connection with the attempt to enforce such a law sn sne city or one state is that they can sa obtained elsewhere without trouble Thus those who snap their fingers a. law anyway are certain to be supplied and prepared to continue as gunmen Their victims who respect the law are obliged to depend upon screams or Re- lice whistle.
 With the idea of changing this situa- ion and allowing the law-abidinE citi.

WISE WOMEN

A famous medical man of ancient times states regarding his writings that they were but a collection of knowledge ob- tained from the Wise Women"
 Do you realize that in those times the women, and not the men, knew about the healing properties of medicinal plants, roots and herbs? From the earliest times, women had a knowledge of the treatment of disease and of the healing merit of roots and herbs.
 Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound was originated by woman, Lydia E. Pinkham, and is now known and praised by women of all ages. It is pre- pared from roots and herbs having me dicinal action of great value in the treat ment of troubles women so often have.
