who to that ancient admonition, "Say nothing of the dead except good," very aptly added to "Say nothing of the dead except the truth." If both these injunctions are heeded by the people of Crawfordsville there will be a most painful and appalling silence concerning our litigation dropping councilmen

ADMIRAL DEWEY'S brother Charles, of Rutland, Vt., has received a letter from the hero of Manila«in which the latter says he is -in excellent health. It is the opinion of Charles Dewey that Brother George will arrive in this country before June 1. There ought to be some definite understanding about this, so that the public may be prepared for the inevitable earthquake.

AT ninety years old, and with a pontificate of twenty-one years, Leo XIII comes near to breaking the papal record. The average reign of popes has been only about five years, and of the 263 who have worn the triple crown only four have done so longer thaD Leo XIII, to-wit: Hadrian I, 23 years Pius VI, 24 years Pius VII, 23 years, and Pius IX, 32 years. It is quite within the limit of possibility that Leo XIII will surpass the record of all except his immediate predecessor.

IN spite of the seemingly tolerant statement, "You may be right and I may be wrong," it is impossible to escape the conclusion that Col. Bryan, in his letter to Mr. Perry Belmont, deliberately intended to be offensive when he referred "to the Republican allies who masquerade as Democrats between campaigns in order to give more potency to their betrayal of Democratic principles on election day." Even though he is only thirty-nine years old and still the boy orator, he is old enough to know better than gratuitously to insult those whose only offending is aa inability to subscribe to the belief that the 16 to 1 ratio between gold and silver is divine and he its heaven-appointed prophet.

THE

Democrats of North Carolina

are preparing to evade the constitution of the United States and disfranchise the blacks. This course has been for some time foreshadowed, and now the projectors of the scheme have drafted the constitutional amendment by which they hope to accomplish their purpose. -They are following close on the lines of Louisiana. Voters must pay a poll tax and be able to read and write any section of the state constitution, with one important exception. That is that any persqn who, on or before January 1, 1867, was entitled to vote in North Carolina, or in any Other state where he at the time resided, and descendants of any such person, Bhall not be disfranchised becauBS of ignorance. The effect of this is that no unlettered negro, and practically every unlettered white man, will have the ballot.

JUMP FORTHEIR LIVES

Women of the Order of Maccabees Caught In a Burning Building.

FATAL FIRE AT OMAHA

Two Lose Their Lives Instantly and Twenty More or Less Seriously Injured—Faced a Solid Wall of Flame and Seven Leaped. to the Pavement

Forty Feet Below.

Omaha, Neb., March 22.—Fire broke out in the third floor of the Patterson block and spread so rapidly that people were compelled to jump for their lives. Two women were killed, three fatally and 20 more or less seriously injured. The dead and injured were all members of Ladies of Macabbees, who were holding a meeting in the building. The dead:

MRS. THOMAS TAYLOR, leaped from the third floor and sustained injuries which resulted in immediate death.

MRS. ANNA SCHAMEL. The injured: Mrs. C. 15. Biv.-sius, faco and hands burned.

Mrs. A. King, face ladly burned, left wrist cut. Mrs. A. L. Samuelson, face and hands badly burned.

May Samuels, left hand burned, forehead burned slightly. Mrs. G. 1). Wilson, face slightly burned and back of hands disfigured.

Mrs. Shame], both elbows broken and hands terribly burned Mrs. J. C. Holt, face and hands slightly burned.

Marguerite Holt, 7 years old, ono hand burned slightly and faco badly perhaps injured internally.

Sirs. Harriet Hopkins, face and head badly burned. Mrs. Atherton, South Omaha, face and hands burned severely.

Mrs. Jerry Sullivan, wrist aud hands severely burned. Mrs. W. A. Hex, hands and face burned.

Mrs. Edward Shriner, face, body and hands burned, badly cut in head will probably die.

Steve Williams, 5 years old, face and hands burned. Fireman William Guider, suffocated and fell from ladder, internal injuries will probably die.

Lieutenant .lames Adams, hips injiu'ed by falling down stairs. A group of huppy women, busy with the affairs of the secret orders with which they were affiliated, were in a moment brought face to face with death. Sixty seconds later seven of them lay burned and bleeding on the pavements to which they had dropped, 40 feet below, and the others were rescued after they had had been more or less severely injured in their desperate dash down the single pair of stairs that led to safety.

The blaze started from a. gasoliue stove explosion in a room in the rear of the third floor of the building and uexr to the elevator shaft. It was not discovered until it had spread to the adjoining apartments and the entire floor was filled with smoke and flame. About 20 members of the womens' iodge of Maccabees were attending a committee meeting in the waitingroom in the front of the middle of the building on the same floor.

They were unconscious of danger until a janitor throw open the door aud told them to get out before the flames cut them off. The warning came too late. The fire swept through the door and down the single stairway. The nearest the door fled through the blinding smoke And reached the street with hands and faces blistered. The rest faced a solid wall of flame. There was afire escape at the south front of the building, but not one of them seems to have thought of it. They rushed panicstricken to the windows through which the smoke was already pouring in suffocating puffs. The fire was scarcely a toot behind them. It caught their clothing and scorched their laces with increasing intensity.

Aside from the fatalities ami the injuries to persons the fire was not a serious one. Few of the losers are able to place an exact estimate on their losses, but the total will not exc.-od $0,000. The loss on the building is le-s than half thr.t sum, and aside from'.hat the heaviest losers are the proprietors of the Boston store, who had a surplus stock in the basement of the ,!ork. The loss of the various secret societies that occupy the halls on the second and third floors is largely by water and smoke and is difficult to estimate. One lodge of the A. O. U. W., two lodges of Red Men, two lodges of the Degree of Honor, four lodges of Maccabees and several others lost regalia and vario.- items of furniture. The building is insured up to the 80 per cent clause and inu of the other losses are largely covered by insurance.

AMERICAN ENTERPRISE Making Heavy Inroads In English Trade at Capetown.

Washington, March 22.—The English merchants have been startled by the heavy inroads being made by Americans into their trade with the British colony of Capetown and there is much talk of combination to repress this. Consul General Stowe at Capetown in a report to the state department points out some instances of the success of the American enterprise in that line of recent occurrence. Two orders for American rails and tubing amounting to $2,500,000 have just been pluced at a price 20 per cent below British quotations and, the Scotch makers refusing to make the tubes as long as required, the order went to America.

A large match factory is being erected in Capetown to use American machinery. Large shipments of barbed galvanized wire arc being made to Natal by American manufacturers, also at prices 20 per cent below English quotations. A consignment of 3,000 tons of Pocahontas coal from Virginia has just reached Capetown.

The consul general warns commercial travelers that they must pay a tax of $48.33 in Natal under penalty of heavy fine and imprisonment- Samples are subject to duty, though they may be admitted under bond. In Capetown the commercial traveler is taxed to the amount of $121.60. Johannesburg taxes bicycles §2.43 yearly and fines a rider on the wrong side of the streets §24.33.

The Whole Truth

Nearly every woman in America needs treatment at some time in her life for troubles of the generative organs.

To treat these cases properly it is necessary to know all about them, anJ. nill information many times -cannot be given by a woman to her family physician. She cannot bring herself to tell everything and the physician is at a constant disadvantage.

rirs. J. F. Stretch, 461 Hechanic St., Camden, N. J. writes: "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM— I was a sufferer from female weakness. Every month regularly as the menses came, I suffered dreadful pains in uterus, ovaries were affected and had leucorrhoea. I had my children very fast and it left me very weak. A year ago I was taken with flooding and almost died. The doctor even gave me up and wonders how I ever lived. I wrote for Mrs. Pinkham's advice at Lynn, Mass., and took—-1 her medicine and began to— get well. I took several bottles of the Compound and used the Sanative Wash and can truly say that I am cured. You would hardly know me, I am feeling and looking so well. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made me what I am."

Marie Lemp, 108 2d Ave., New York City, was advised by her physician to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

$

This is her letter: I have three children and suffered with falling of the womb and flooding. My physician scraped the womb, still the flooding continued and I was no better. At last he advised me to use Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Then I thought I would write to Mrs. Pinkham, for she could advise me better than any one if I was to take her remedies. I received her reply and followed all herdirections and I am very glad to send you this testimonial, for Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is just what it is recommended to be. I advise all women who suffer from these complaints to try it."

Mrs* Rcmicker Finds Relief From Paittm DEAR MRS. PINKHAM—I feel it my duty to write and thank you for what your Vegetable Compound has done for me. It is the only medicine I have found that has done me any good. Before taking your medicine, I was all run down, tired all the time, no appetite, pains in my back and bearing-down pains, and a great sufferer during menstruation. After taking two bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I felt like a new woman. I am now on my fourth bottle and all my pains havg left me. I feel better than I have felt for three years and would recommend your Compound to every suffering woman. I hope this letter will help others to find a cure for their troubles."—]*lrs. Delia Remicker, Rensselaer, Ind.

An®thar Tumor Successfully ExgscM&tfa "Two years ago I was a great sufferer from womb trouble and profuse flowing each month, and tumors would form in the womb. I had four tumors in two years. I went through treatment with doctors, but they did me no good, and I thought I would have to resort to morphine. The doctor said that all that could help me was to have an operation and have the womb removed, but I had heard of Mrs. Pinkham's medicine and decided to try it, and wrote for her advice, and after taking her Vegetable Compound the. tumors were expelled and I began to

get stronger right along, and am as well as ever before. Cf™ truly say that I would never have gotten well had it not been for LydiaE. Pinkham Compound. I cannot praise it enough."— Mary A. Stahl, Watsontown, Pa.

Every woman puzzled about her health, may write to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass., and will receive advice promptly, free of all charge.

More Than a Million Women Have Been Helped by Mrs. Pinkham's Advice and Medicine.
