From the Record, Pierceton. 'hvd. Determined to rise rrs an educator, Er­ nest Kemper, of Pierceton, Ind., overtaxed himself mentally and physically. He was ambitious; his mind was always on his work. From early morn until late at night he continually pored over his books. Few persons, even with the strongest constitutions, can keep up under such a strain. In addition to his studies, Mr. Kemper was teaching a school some three miles from his home. Finally, his excessive study and the exposure of going to and from school in all kinds of weather under­ mined his health. lie was taken to his bed with pneu­ monia and his overworked brain almost collapsed. For several weeks he was se­ riously ill. Catarrh had taken root in his system and his mind was in a delicate condition. He was sent to Color­ ado, where he spent three mouths without rece iving any benefit. Then a liot- e d special- i s t f r o m C 1 e veland treated him w i t li o u t avail, a u d then a hos- p i t a 1 in C h i c a go was tried, but all ab- Overstudy. s 0 1 u t ely without benefit. Finally his physician recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and from the first box he began to improve. When he had taken nine boxes lie was completely cured. This famous blooil nnd nerve medicine accomplished what former expensive treament failed to do. Mr. Kemper says his catarrh has entirely left him; lie "is strong again and weighs nine pounds more than he ever did. He gives the pills the entire credit. He is starting teaching again and feels abundantly able to con­ tinue the work. To prove that the above is true Mr. Kemper's affidavit follows: Subscribed and sworn to before me this the 10th day of September, 18D7. II. P. WATT, Notary Public. We doubt if these pills have an equal in all the range of medicine, for building up a run down and debilitated system. Kverybody Satisfied.

"The Kind You Have Always Bought" BEARS THE FAC-SIMILE SIGNATURE OF All Europe's Powers Refuse Her Even Their Moral Supj>ort. Spain will receive no assistance what­ ever from any European Government in the event of war with the Uuited States, whether arising out of the destruction of the Maine or because of American inter­ vention in Cuba. It is the general opin­ ion of diplomatists in London and other Capitals that the disaster to the battleship Maine is having an effect to postpone in­ stead of to hasten the interveueion of the United States in Cuba. According to London advices every Eu­ ropean power received several weeks ago u frank, though informal, statement of American intentions in regard to the Cu­ ban situation. It may-be said without re: serve that the policy tlwis disclosed met with ho European opposition. This pol­ icy. as understood by the Pritish foreign office, and outlined by British diplomat­ ists, is as follows: The United States since last summer has been insisting that Spain must restore peace in Cuba. Finally, the Sagasta cab­ inet was given to understand that unless peace was in sight by March 1, the United States would actively intervene: This, while not. technically ah ultimatum, be­ cause: it was not part' of a. formal diplo­ matic correspondence, was, in effect, uoth- ing less. The Spanish'G<fcwumeiit so un­ derstood it, and so diil^vwry chancellery in Europe. No Europ&ihsHpwer gave any sign of willingness to protqfeili behalf of Spain, though the Spanish^6oyerhsneht at first hoped to secure at least the "friendly offices" of Austria or France to induce the United States to refrain from intervention. The attitude of Gretit Brit­ ain has been particularly disappointing to Spain. The disputes of the United States and Gr^at Britain over various matters seem to have inspired the Span­ ish Government with a hope that soms moral support, at least, might be obtained in London. The British Government has refused point blank to meddle in the mat­ ter. A WORD OF ADVICE WAS A CUBAN VICTORY. Spanish Loss l,OOOKillcd and Wonud- cil nt Holguin. Reports of the recent battle at Holguin, Province of Santiago de Cuba, have been received in New York. Instead of the battle being a Spanish victory, as repre­ sented from Havana, it was a disastrous defeat, followed by a retreat on the part of the Spanish forces. This information is the cause for a great amount of rejoic­ ing in New York Cuban circles, because the guns and ammunition shipped from Long Island less than a mouth ago were used in the light. Owing to the character of the country less than 2,000 of the Spanish troops could be brought into action when the Cubans opened fire, and the Cuban force of less than a thousand men could not be dislodg­ ed. Gen. Garcia's command did not reach its full strength until the fifth day after the fighting began. On this day the Spanish columns retjvated in confusion, carrying the wounded to Holguin and leaving 1200 dead on the field. The Cu­ bans' loss in the five days' fighting was less than fifty killed. The real Spanish loss will never be known, as the dead and wounded were taken from the field at night. It is estimated that nearly one thousand were killcu and wouuueu. The Cubans in the field, according to the letters, are praying for the United States to strike a blow in order that they may attack Havana from the laud. MARTIN ON THE STAND. Defendant Tells the Part He Took in the Lattimer Shooting. Sheriff Martin, on trial at Wilkesbarre, Pa., went on the stand in his own defense Tuesday for the Lattimer shooting and told in detail the story of the occurrences on Friday afternoon, Sept. 10, and the conditions which led to them. "When we got to Lattimer," said the sheriff, "I told my men to line up along the road, as that was about as good a place as any to stop the strikers from going any farther. I told my men that I would try once more to stop them, and if they refused, to fol­ low them up the breaker. When the first rank of strikers came within 200 feet of us I went out and spoke to them and again told them to stop, but they called back, 'We no go back, we go to Lattimer mines.' "One young fellow kept saying, 'Go on, go on!' This fellow 1 tried to arrest, but as I had my revolver in one hand and my proclamation in the other I had some difficulty in doing this. Then several men tried to grab me, two threatened me with revolvers and another made a lunge at me with a knife. Then some one gave me a terrible blow on the side of the face and I was knocked down tin my knees. Just then the shooting began." To Those Coming to Aluska or the Klondike Gold Fields. One thing should be impressed upon every miner, prospector or trader com- j iug to Alaska, to the Klondike, or the 1 Yukon country, and that Is the ueces- J sity for providing an adequate and proper food supply. Whether procured j in the States, in the Dominion, or at ! the supply stores hero or further on. I this must be his primary concern. Upon the manner. in which the miner has ob­ served or neglected this precaution more than upon any other one thing will his success or failure depend. These supplies must be healthful and should be concentrated, but the most careful, attention in the selection of foods that will keep unimpaired inde­ finitely under all the conditions which they will have to encounter is, impera­ tive. For instance, as bread raised with baking powder must be relied up­ on for the chief part of every meal, im­ agine the helplessness of a miner with a can of spoiled baking powder. Buy only the very best flour; it is the cheap­ est in the end. Experience has shown the Royal Baking Powder to be the most reliable and the trading compan­ ies now uniformly supply this brand, as others "will not keep in this climate. Be sure that the bacon is sweet, sound and thoroughly cured. These are the absolute necessities upon ' which; ail must place a chief reliance, and can under no circumstances be neglected. They may, of course, be supplemented by as many comforts or delicacies as the prospector may be able to pack or < csire to pay for.--From the Alaska Mining Journal. A book of receipts for all kinds of cookery, which is specially valuable for use upon the trail or in the camp, is published by the Royal Baking Powder Company, of New York. The receipts are thoroughly practical, and the meth­ ods are carefully explained, so that the inexperienced may, with itsjaid, readily prepare everything requisite for a good, •wholesome meal, or even dainties if he has the necessary materials. The mat­ ter is in compact though durable form, the whole book weighing but two ounces. Under a special arrangement, this book will be sent free to miners or others who may desire it. We would recommend that every one going to the Klondike procure a copy. Address the Royal Baking Powder Co., New York. Sear d Three Months Later. "I wonder somebody doesn't investi­ gate the phenomena of fear," said a Washington woman to me not,lone* ago, "and tell us why it is that the shock of a sudden emergency often postpones one's fear of the situation till all the danger is over. For exam­ ple, Mr. Cortland Cramp--"Cort" Cramp, they call hina--the son of the 'famous shipbuilder, was at sea some years ago. During a frightful storm he SWrpi OVOOrbwai-u. III? II IS nerve. He was perfectly calm, and retailed that people who were washed overboard by one wave were some- Mines washed back by another. Pres­ ently his hand reached a rope. He grasiped it firmly, and held on till the captain of the. vessel, seeing the rope dragging in the water, pulled it in, and pulled Mr. Cramp on board with it. Mr. Cramp was none the worse for his ex­ perience, but one day. quite three moiiitlis afterward, when he was on land, a realization of the danger he had been iu came over him suddenly, and his knees fairly knocked together with fear. He was iu a perfect panic from fright, and to this day. whenever he goes into the surf, the recollection of his dreadful experience- always returns to him. and he never ventures into deep water."--Washington Post. Writing Popular 'Songs. "There is ,no explanation or theory upon which the demand for songs arises," explained a well-known song writer to a Washington Star reporter, "except that it changes from season to season. The songs which would sell a few years ago will not bring money enough now to pay for the paper on which they are written. Indeed, pub­ lishers would decline them as a gift, and I actually know of some songs which were recently declined, though they were the work of a man whose songs were sung *by nearly every bal­ lad singer only two seasons ago. His idea in giving the songs away was to keep his name before the public, in the hope of making a big strike. When a song pays at all it pays better than any other kind of work. Publishers now Want songs which are written in negro dialect: For instance, the song, 'My Gal Is a High-born Lady,' or something like Jt, would be grabbed up by any song publisher, while better songs would be refused. Of course, there are any number of such songs written in the hope of hitting the popular demand, but there is a great deal of uncertainty about it. Circumstances make a song go better than the. composition involved, in it. An ordinary song, if first sung by one of the few leading popular sing­ ers, now and then turns out a' money-maker for a song writer, though the singer has to be paid for making.a 'go' of it. Songs are seldom successes any. more on their own merit. Other thihgs are necessary." DmAihi Cannot Be Care* tff local applications, as they cannot roach the diseased portion of the ear.

"Every land owner with cedar among his timber would do well to see that none of it is cut down to waste, for it is a wood that is in groat demand, and the price is likely to advance rapidly," says a lumber merchant. "Florida has made millions of. dollars out of its cedar, and other States can aud will follow suit, for the number of pencils manufactured is getting greater every year, aud this is the only kind of wood that can be used with any prospect of success in the process. More than half the wood cut for pencils is shipped to Germany, where more than half the world's supply is actually turned out, and both France and England also take large quantities. The pencil manufac­ turing interest is easy to control, there being less than thirty manufacturers iu the entire world. Four or five yea re ago there was a lead pencil trust, but finally oue member broke away, and then prices were slashed iu comiietition. More cedar wood is being exported each year, however."

Most radical legislation was enacted Tuesday by the maguat&Scff the National Baseball League, assembled at St. Louis in annual session. A measure for the sup­ pression of obscene, indecent and vulgar language upon the ball field by players was adopted by the representatives of the twelve clubs present without a dissenting vote. The provisions of this measure are most sweeping, and provide for the trial of guilty persons before a tribunal of three judges, to be known as the board of disci­ pline, which shall punish the culprit either by suspension or expulsion for life. The first tribunal under this provision will be composed of L. C. Krnuthoff of Kansas City, Mo.: Louis Kramer of Cin­ cinnati and Frederick K. Stearns of De­ troit, Mich. These men, who are promi­ nent and well known to the patrons of the national game, will serve respectively for three years, two years and one year. One member of the board will retire each year, and his successor will be elected at the annual sche^ile meeting of the league. PRES. M'KINLETVS. FREE SILVER.

It seemed a funny way of putting it, didn't it? But the physician was very much in earnest, and at that moment it probably occurred to him thiat, as children like clubs, an anti-candy club would be a very good one for them.
