iteflUtfdwiih SOR£E*B U R E F O R America's Greatest Med icine MECHANISM OF A 10-INCH RIFLED DISAPPEARING GUN. Burglars and "Leaded Lights." English burglars are rejoicing in t^e discovery that the most fashionable thing in window glazing, the "leaded iights," which are to be found in thou­ sands of modern London villas, can be turned to the purpose of the house­ breaker with gratifying ease. He needs no tools--nothing but his innocent bicy-" cle cap. With this he protects his hand, and then presses against the leaded glazing near the latch. It gives way si­ lently. the pieces of glass being held by the lead, and the burglar's hand can be easily inserted to turn the latch. The police are finding it difficult to cope with these depredations,• and houses left temporarily unguarded are espe­ cially exposed. RHEUMATISM AND LA GRIPPE.

WOMAN'S FATE, From the Record Bushnell, 111 No woman is better able to speak to others regarding "woman's fate" than Mrs. Jacob Weaver, of Bushnell, 111., wife of ex-City Marshal Weaver. She had entirely recovered from the illness which kept her bedfast much of the time for five or six-years past, and says her recovery is due to that well-known rem­ edy. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Mrs. Weaver is fifty-six years old, and lias lived in Bushnell nearly thirty years. She is of unquestioned veracity and un­ blemished reputation. The story of her recovery is interesting. She says: "I suffered for five or six years with the trouble that comes to women at this time of my life. I was much weakened, was unable much of the time to do my own work, and suffered beyond my power to describe. 1 was dowuhearted and mel­ ancholy. "1 took many different medicines; in fact, I took medicine all the time, but nothing seemed to do me any good. "I read about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and some of my friends recommended them highly. I made up k°l}ght I IP | J ' la^ cured me com- iill' ^^^^^^^^^ibeen bothered with Mrs. Jacob Weaver, my troubles since 1 began taking the pills. "1 have recommended the pills to many women who are suffering as I suffered. They are the only thing that helped me in the trial that comes' to so many wom­ en at my age. "MRS. J. II. WEAVER." Subscribed and sworn to before me this 23d day of October. A. D. 1897. O. C. HICKS, Notary Public. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills exert a pow­ erful influence in restoring the system to its proper condition. They contain in a condensed form all the elements neces­ sary to give new life and richness to the biOOU.

While a war with Spain would undoubt­ edly be, in a large measure, a naval con­ flict, it might extend to the land. Butcher Weyler appears to think that the Spanish warships would quickly sweep the whoie American navy from the seas, and that he or some other general would land an army and march victoriously to the na­ tional capital and there dictate terms of peace. The Spanish people all seem to think that our navy out of the way, the rest will be dead easy because the United States has no standing army to speak .of. The Spaniards never made a greater mis­ take in all tlieir lives. This country has a standing army--not' the 25.0(H) regulars alone, but the 114,202 national guardsmen kept organized and equipped by the several States. Of these guardsmen Alabama maintains 2,488 offi­ cers and men; Arkansas, 2,020; Califor­ nia, 3,1(09; Colorado, 1,050; Connecticut, 2,739; Delaware, -158; Florida, 1,184; Georgia, 4.450; Idaho, 50S; Illinois, 6,200; Indiana, 2,875; Iowa, 2.479; Kansas, 1,- 408; Kentucky, 1.371; Louisiana, 2,093; Maine, 1,845: Maryland, 1.725; Massa­ chusetts. 5.154; Michigan, 2.SS0; Minne­ sota. 1,894: Mississippi. 1,795: Missouri. 2,349; Montana, 032; Nebraska, 1.158; Nevada, 308; New Hampshire, 1,305; New Jersey, 4,297; New York, 13,894; North Carolina, 1,537; North Dakota, 407; Ohio, 0.004; Oregon, 1,428; Penn­ sylvania. 8,521; Rhode Island. 1,315; South Carolina, 3.157; South Dakota, 090; Tennessee, 1,090; Texas, 3,023; L' tab, 580; Vermont, 743; Virginia, 2,739; Wash­ ington, 737; West Virginia, 905; Wiscon­ sin, 2,711; Wyoming. 350. From these or­ ganized forces an army of 50,000 men could quickly be assembled at any point wIhmm? tho S'Hinish should land and could hold twice their number in check while a greater army was being assembled.

Shortage of Beef Cattle Approaching a Famine in the 'West. Strange as it may seem, the country ly­ ing west of the corn States is just now confronted with the probabilities of a beef famine. The reason for this is the short­ age of beef cattle iu the West. All of L-ist. year and so far this year the demand for cattle to eat corn in the States cast of Colorado and the big prices offered, has tempted the cattle men TO sell everything fit.to go. and in the Western country to­ day, from which Denver usually draws Its supply of beef cattle, there are not enough fat cattle to supply the local butch­ ers' demands. Colorado is not the only State suffer­ ing for beef cattle. As far west as the Pacific coast the same situation exists. California lias usually drawn its beef sup­ ply from home. Nevada and Arizona. Last year Eastern California and Nevdda were practically denuded of cattle by specula­ tors, who bought them for more than beef buyers were willing to give and shipped them out of the country. The .recent drought on the coast has left the Califor­ nia cattle in bad shape, and the coast is now drawing almost its total supply from the Salt river valley in Arizona, and the supply there is limited. l"p in Oregon and Washington the same condition ex­ ists. In Western Colorado there are a few cattle on feed and some are left in Wyoming, but they are held at such prices that the Denver packers cannot reach them. ... - The "Wnole Truth can be Told The suffering and pain endured by some working1 women is almost past belief.

The State Department has ascertained, at the instance of the Japanese legation, that eight Japanese were 011 board the. Maine at the time of the disaster. While the avowed purpose of the Japanese lega­ tion's inquiry is to.assist friends and rela­ tives in identifying those lost or saved in tlie disaster, it is suggested that Japan may have something to say to Spain in case the Maine shall l>e declared to have been destroyed by an external attack. Japan has always jealously guarded her citizens abroad, and might occupy the same ground as the United States in seek­ ing such redress as would lie appropriate to the case as finally established. In this connection it was recalled that Japan's relation to the Philippines are somewhat analogous to our relations to Cuba. Sim­ ilar inquiries came to the Navy Depart­ ment from the German and Swedish lega­ tions, and it is expected that others will follow. Nearly every nationality was rep­ resented iu the Maine's big crew. PROF. NATIIORST. lie borne by King Oscar and a number of wealthy Swedes. This relief party will include Prof. A. G.

Calling for Cuban Information. Senator Morgan said Friday that it was his purpose to introduce a resolution at an early date making a second call up­ on the President for the consular corre­ spondence bearing upon the condition of affairs in Cuba. "I think," he said, "that the Senate and the country are entitled to know officially what the condition there is and that the reports of the consuls should not be withheld for an unusual length of time. I do not, however, wish to complicate this matter with the Maine disaster and shall not introduce the reso­ lution while the court of inquiry is sitting unless its report is unnecessarily delayed. 1 have sot 110 time for the presentation of the matter, but will tie guided as to the time by circumstances as they arise." He said in reply to a question that the reso­ lution proposed by him would be couched in terms demanding the submission of t-.ie correspondence. Proctor Is Appalled.

Senator Frye, member of the Commit­ tee 011 Foreign Relations, believes there is no escape from war with Spain. This opinion is shared by a majority of his com­ mittee associates. The Senator from Maine says that if indemnity is demanded from Spain for loss of the Maine the Sa- gasta ministry will not dare to pay i,t. The 'Spaniards will be too proud to acknowl­ edge any responsibility for the explosion, and the President must make a demon­ stration of force to collect the claiin of the Uv.ted States. That will cause war. Then there is the determination of the American people to put an end to the butchery and starvation of innocent Cu­ bans. Spain, in Mr. Fryc's view, will at­ tempt to gain time by promises, but if pressed for a decision to srant indepen­ dence to the insurgents, will refuse to do so, and then the United States must in­ tervene. This also will mean war. Wants $500,000 War Interest. During the late war the State of Penn­ sylvania made advances to the National Government aggregating $1,500,000. The amount was repaid a few years ago, but no interest was included in the settlement. A claim is now being urged by the State .officials for $500,000 interest. Howard Gould, the owner of the $500,- 000 pleasure yacht Niagara, the largest and most elegant craft of its class ever built, which was launched at Wilming­ ton, Dei., says that, ,if necessary, he will gladly turn it over to the Government in vase of war with Spain.
