7S THE MARRIAGE QUESTION. The professor who announced that "love and romance die out with the sound of the weddingr-bell9," was the first to start the ball rolling. It would seem a brave woman who marries with this echo in her ears, yet we have not heard that there were fewer marriages during the year. There are un happy married lives, but a large precentage wi iuw uuuiiupy uuiucb arc uue 10 me ill ness of the wife, mother or daughter. During a long period of practice, Doctor Pierce found that a prescription made up entirely of roots and herbs, without the U9e , of alcohol, cured ninety-eight per cent, of such cases. After using this remedy for many years in nis private practice He put 11 up in a iuTm mai can uc uaa ax any Store where medicines are handled. Backed up by over a third of a century of remarkable and uniform cures, a record such as no other remedy for the diseases and weaknesses peculiar to women ever attained, tne proprietors and makers of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel fully warranted in offerine to oav a in legal money of the United States, for any case of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness, Pro lapsus, or Falling of Womb which they can not cure.

The crimes of others released were: Offences against women, 88; fraud, 20; manslaughter, 14; forgery, 18; perjury, 5j embezzlement, 4, and burglary, robbery and larceny, 128. It is suggested that in this abuse of the pardoning power may be found an explanation of the complacency with which the secretary condones the plundering of the masses of the people by means of tariff legislation.

Denver, Col., June 11. A spec'al to the "Post? from Holly, Colorado, saya: "With a parting volley of rifle bul lets, fired over their heads by the mi litia and deputies to warn them to hurry eastward as faat as their legs could carry them and never again to set foot on Colorado soil, ninety union miners from the Cripple Creek district were unloaded from a apecial Banta Fe train on the prairie, one half mile from the Colorado-Kansas State line, and left to shift for themselves. 'When the special train bearing the deported men was within half a mile of the Kansas line it was stopped by Bheriff Brady of Hamilton county and forty deputies, who notified Lieut. Cole that under no circumstances would the train be allowed to cross the Kansas line, and fur ther, that the deported men were not wanted in Kansas. Lieutenant Cole informed them that the train would be carried no further. Then the order to quit the train was given in a hurry. Bheriff Brady called for the leaders of the unionists and notified them that they mutt not cross the Kanaas line. The exiles were disem barked in haste and without ceremony. "Hurry up there, you fellows V cried Lieut Cole when the train stopped in the midst of the alkali sand dunes that dot the prairie near the Kanaai line. We have not got any time to waste outnere." The special train had no sooner come to a stacdstill when the car doors were unlocked and thrown open and the order was given by Lieut. Cole for the exiles to leave the train. "Step lively, you fellows; step lively," admonished Deputy Benton, who waa in command of the civil force of the expedition, and In less time than it takes to tell it the three ears were emptied of their unfortunate and un willing passengers and had started back to LaJunta. The men were left on the prairie without food or water, for the soldiers and deputias in their haste to get home had forgotten to unload the small stock of commitsary supplies the train carried when It left Victor. The exiles were a cheerless lot in deed. W lthout even a light and miles from the nearest habitation, they hud dled together in groups on either side of the Sante Fe track and discussed their plight. Sheriff Jack Brady and his deputies were on hand to prevent the deported men from remaining in Kansas. Warned by the Kansas au thorities that they would not be allow ed to seek refuge in that State, the spirit of the men broke. Many of them finally walked bck on the railroad track to Holly, where they were fur nished food by the big Salvation Army stationed there. Ihreateaed wholesale Hanging. .

The executive board of the Western Federation of Miners to-day Issued a statement re garding the situation in Cripple Creek, in reply to the statements made by General Sherman M. Bell and Secre tary O. C. Hamlin, of the Cripple Creek district Mine Owners' Associa tion. It says: "The only questions involved are the enforcement of.the eight-hour day, the right of men to organize in unions and to prevent discrimination against union men of all kinds. The respon sibility for the lawlessness connected with the contests rests entirely on the shoulders of the mine operators, the Citizens' Alliance, and their allies, backed up by the ready, power of the State government." The events of the past week, the statement says, justify these accu sations. The statement says no deaths have occurred for which the Western Federation of Miners can be held re sponsible. RICE.
