Many a woman has periodic crying -spells. She meets her husband with eyes red and swollen and he cries out : " What has happened ? " " Nothing" his wife replies.- "I don't knowjwhat is the matter with me, but I just had to have a good cry." Men don't have crying "spells. It. would seem therefore that an affection confined to women must have its cause in the womanly nature. There is no doubt that a diseased condition of . the delicate womanly organs, is in gen eral responsible for feminine nervous ness and hysteria. The use of Dr. Pierce's.

One of the greatest calamities in the history of Barbour county oesurred this morning at 1 o'clock at the mines of the Southern Coal and Transporta tion Company, at Berrysburg,six miles from this place. As a result twelve men are dead-and two wounded, both of whom will die. The explosion was so great that mules were killed at the mouth of the mine and the cars were blown forty feet from the track. One man was blown in two at the loins and his body thrown against a' pile of lumber at the mouth of the mine. The explosion was probably the re sult of an accidental discharge of dyn amite, caused perhaps by the concus siou of a blast. The property loss is light No blame can be attached to to the officials of the company. Ohe sight was a most horrible one. Strewn along the main channel and, about the opening were the arm;, legs, bands and othei portions of the bodies of the dead miners. Fathers and mothers were frantically hunting for sons, and as fast as a body was recov ered they would glance at it and recognizing it would give hysterical screams. The hotel has been turned into a hospital and those still alive when brought out were taken there. There is great deal of comment about the cause of the explosion. Tho au thorities refused to discuss the matter further than to say it was caused by an excessive charge of powder being used. The miners insist that it was caused by fire damp. The mine was recently inspected and pronounced to be in good condition. The report of the auditor of the Post office Department, covering the fiscal year ending June 80th, 1900, shows that the total revenues for the depart ment for the period were $102,354,679, and expenditures $107,249,298: leaving a deficit of $1,894,718. Fire broke out in cotton which had bean landed on the dock at Liverpool from the British steamer, European, from New Orleans, and five hundred bales have been damaged by fire and a thousand by water. , -IS A SYSTEM BUILDER.6IYES APPETITE a onfarre TU I iucd is sold Strictly on its Merits.

WW tOOK 0 Tue llCy I MOKieSBMUIMB' BRYAN CLOSED HIS CAMPAIGN. Late Last Night He Left Chicago for His Home in Lincoln, ' Nebraska. A GREAT DEMONSTRATION. Tremendous Crowds at Yesterday's Meet ings In Chicago A Banquet io His Honor An Immense Parade of Democrats Was Reviewed. By Telegraph to the Mernlns: Star. Chicago, November 3 With four addresses in Chicago and one at Har vey, Wm. J. Bryan to day practically closed his long campaigning in the struggle for the presidency. To-night, from in front of the Union League Club, on Jackson boulevard, Mr. Bryan reviewed, amid a din of can non and glare of fireworks, an im mense parade of Democrats, which marked the close of the campaign in Chicago, and late to-night he left over the Burlington road for his home in Lincoln, Neb., where with his family he will receive election re turns next Tuesday. Today, the -third of Mr. Bryan's speech-making in Chicago, was mark ed by tremendous crowds at each of the five meetings addressed by him, and the parade to-night developed into one long ovation, the cheerisg for the Democratic presidential can didate being almost incessant from the time he stepped on the reviewing stand until, rather weary from his arduous work of the past three days, he stepped into his carriage and was driven to the Union station. Banquet by Iroquois Club. At noon to-day the Iroquois Club gave a banquet in honor of Mr. Bryan, at which many of the members who opposed him in 1896 pledged him sup port on next Tuesday. At 10 o'clock Mr. Bryan began his day's speech making at a big open-air meeting in front of the -Transit House, Forty second and Halstead streets, the centre of the stock yards district Three other meetings were also addressed by Mr. Bryan during the afternoon. At 2.30 P. M. he spoke at an open-air meeting at Maxwell and Union streets and at 4 P. M. at an open-air meeting on the lake front, Washington street and Michigan avenue. From there Mr. Bryan took a suburban train to Harvey, where he addressed a bier meeting of foundry men and mill hands. The final meeting of the day and the last of Mr. Bryan's remarkable cam paign outside of his own State, was at the Calumet theatre, in South Chicago. From there Mr. Bryan went at once to the reviewing stand on Jackson boulevard, where for over an hour he stood and bowed as the hosts of the Democracy marched by and cheered their leader. - The Closing Speech. At the Iroquois Club, Mr. Bryan said in part: "I have had imposed upon me in this campaign a great duty, and I have performed it to the best of my ability and to the extent of my strength. My responsibility ceases, so far as this campaign is concerned, on next Tuesday. If I have any further responsibility it will be the fault of the people; it will be for them to say whether I shall remain a private citizen or become a public ser vant. "I am glad in this campaign that we have the support of the many who were against us before. I do not criti cise them harshly, and I did not when they left us, because I believe that a majority of them left because they conscientiously believed that the coun try was in danger. I did not agree with them in that I did not believe that the people or the country would be in dan ger because of my election, and I make the statement to you now that if I bad been elected we would not now be con fronted by the crisis that is before us. I believe that those who voted against me were at least in nearly all cases men who voted against me because they thought that they were doing their duty to their country. , Wheo I heard, the night of the election, that an old gray-haired man fell upon his knees and thanked God that the coun try had been saved, I knew tbat he was expressing the sentiments of ran neart. Hut, many who thanked God that I was defeated then, are now praying - that 1 shall not be defeated again: It does not mean that they have changed their sentiments since then. It does not necessarily mean that they have changed in their opinions upon the questions which were paramount then, but it does mean that four years of Republican rule have brought them face to face to a greater question than has ever been Before this country. I believe the issue to day is even greater than the issue of 1860,for then the question was whether we should have one republic or two republics; but now, the issue in this campaign is, whether we shall have a republic. "Uur appeal has been to the con science and to the judgment of the American people. I am glad tbat this is the only kind of an appeal that we could make. If it is my destiny to be the President of the United States I do not want to feel that I am President because some one was bourht to vote for me or compelled to do it against his will. I believe with those who believe in the principle that we stand for that if I am elected there is a great work before me; and if I am called upon to perform that work I want to feel that I have behind me the hearts of the American people as well as their votes, and if I have their hearts behind me and if I am elected, as I must be elected if elected at all, be cause they want me elected, and, thereafter, my one purpose in life will be to disappoint no honest man who voted for me. . "I cannot hope that my administra tion, if elected, will be free from mis takes, for I contend that perfection is not to be found in this world, and that all that we can do in tn innrnioh if. on nearly as we can with the light before u" ana with a sincere purpose to do what is right. I cannot hope not to make mistakes, but I promise you that if I am elected there will b inn in this country when no citizen here or ioreigner abroad will have anv uuum uiak u xseuiarauon oi indepen dence is the law of this land." -In April last President Jor dan, of the Leland, Stanford, Uniy ersitv, reported in a printed inter view that Roosevelt had said to him privately the week before: "I wish we were off the Philppines and had them oS our hands, and many other .Republicans are thinking the same." Doubtless he and many more of them would confess that they are thinking the same to-day if they were at lib erty to speak their minds. Charles tonNewi and Courier, Dm. THE STORY OF LIFE.

Where tit Famous Senator Made the Speech of Bis Life. "The best political fighting is done in a convention where there Is stubborn op position," said an old delegate to mtny national gatherings. "The most effective oratory is heard where speakers realize that they must be convincing. The dif ference in the speeches of Conkling and Garfield in the Chicago convention was as marked as the personality of the men themselves. And yet undoubtedly each man caused intelligent and conservative delegates to halt in their opinions. Conk ling, in nominating Grant, aroused tbe convention and the galleries to the sum mit of enthusiasm. It seemed as if it could never be subdued. The speech of Garfield, in which he presented the name of Sherman, had, however, exactly that effect. It was necessary that it should be so in order to quiet the tumult started by Conkling. ' Great as Conkhng's speech is con ceded to have been, the convention and the galleries did not hear his greatest effort, and unfortunately there is no rec ord of it. It was unwritten. The day before the ballot there was a meeting of the 306, as the Grant phalanx is known in political history. Some attempts had been made to break it Strong overtures had been presented to several of the 306. The meeting to which I refer was held in a room under the roof of the hotel. We met there secretly. We were pledged to say nothing to others . about our cau cus. It was a hot day, and a skylight was opened to admit air. Mr. Conkling got up to make his last talk to the 306 before they went to the convention. It was not -a speech to convince those who heard it. There was no occasion for that.- But it was intended as a warning against threatened combinations, and a reassertion of fealty to our candidate. Conkling was at his best, and I had seen him under all circumstances. "Just as he. was beginning there was a disturbance on the roof. A reporter who had got an inkling of the meeting had crawled up there and flattened himself so that he might hear the proceedings. A party of linemen on the roof at the same time, but ignorant of the meeting below or of the reporter's presence at the sky light, came along, and the reporter, think ing they were after him, skedaddled. It was this disturbance tbat caused Conk ling to stop, and then the skylight was closed. The incident had no effect upon Conkling's effort, but it prevented tbe re potter from shorthanding what we all conceded to be a much greater effort than the one made by Conkling the night he placed Grant in nomination. I know this is saying a good deal, but I heard both. as did 305 others, and our opinion on the speech in the hotel room was unanimous. Several times a number of us asked Conkling to write the speech he made in the room, but he always replied that it couldn't be done; that it was an inspira tion and that inspirations never repeated themselves." Chicago Tunes-Herald. Brougham's Joke. Lord Brougham was the author of a rather sharp practical joke, the victim being the London Times. The editor of that paper was a particular enemy of the great statesman, and it occurred to the latter that it would be a good joke to give out that he was dead and see what kind of obituary notice the great London newspaper would give. Lord Brougham was traveling in the provinces at the time, and the report of his death was soon circulated. A repre sentative of The Times called at his lord ship's, residence to verify the rumor There he was assured the report was in) deed true and in proof was shown th coffin and pall, which had already bee!! laid out. 1 The next day The Times appeared with a notice of Brougham's death, in which the statesman's life and character were depicted in the most virulent terms. It was very small satisfaction to Lord Brougham when, a few days later, he exacted an abject apology from the ed itor. Chambers' Journal. A Ner-ry Publisher. In the "Personal Recollections of Sutherland Edwards," English music critic, the author tells of Tinsley, the publisher, who "came up to London in a billycock hat on the top of a hay cart." He proposed to begin as a publisher by buying a book from Miss Braddon and offered her 1,000 for it Unfortunately, he had not any money, so he went to soffle paper makers, told them that he had made a contract with Miss Braddon, and they agreed to give him credit for the paper. Then he went to a large firm of print ers and said that the piper makers would furnish the paper, and he would be glad If they would undertake the printing. This they agreed to do, whereupon be returned to the paper makers and bor rowed the money to pay Miss Braddon. The novel in question was"Lady Aud ley's Secret." "Because She Loved Him."

It may be doubted whether those who have not been forced to a liberal reading of fairy stories after they have grown up altogether realize the objections which exist against many of them. On the oth er hand, it is quite unfair to condemn them all because so many of them carry the supernatural to an objectionable and harmful extreme. It would be a loss to literature indeed to blot out altogether the romance and chivalry which are bound up in the time honored stories of the nursery. Those who contemplate any de parture so radical as this can only be counted among those enthusiasts who are always In favor of extreme measures. While there may be valid objections to some of the more bloodthirsty tales and to others of a ghostly and grewsome kind, no one can reasonably object to the land of enchantment, peopled with fanciful creations and miraculous powers, which any child delights to hear about Cur rent Literature. Lacking In Experience. "1 don't see why there is all this oppo sition to women voting," said a beardless young fellow from his vantage ground beside the Lyceum, watching the women going into the equal suffrage meeting. "It just means that a man has two votes instead of one his own and his wife's," concluded the youthful sage. "Young man," questioned a gray veter an Benedict, "are you married?" "No, no; I'm not married." "Well, then, you don't know anything about it It means that the women will have two votes and the men won't have any vote at all." Memphis Scimitar.

"Have you-ever noticed," said the mi crobe professor, "that - people suffering ,from dyspepsia slide their feet when they, walk? No? Well, they do, and I .will sKplain it After a lifelong study - of the subject I am able to say that X know what I am talking about, and the ' medical books and doctors be blowed! "The microbes which cause dyspepsia enter the human system only between the toes. If a man had no toes or could walk on his hands,, he would never be troubled with that nightmare of all diseases in the catalogue. The microbes entering the system through the toes as they do, the feet are first to feel the effect of them. When they reach, the stomach, the en tire body, of course, becomes affected, and the heavy feeling is general. But you will never see a dyspeptic who lifts his feet in a sprightly manner when he walks. j "I can sit here in my office and point out the ills of men and women as they pass along the street with as much pre cision as the best physician can after a careful and tedious diagnosis. Take a person with influenza or 'grip.' Just, the opposite of the dyspeptic Instead of dragging his feet he steps as high as a blind horse, all because the germs are in his head and his feet appear to be seven pounds each lighter than they ought to be. Yon have noticed it in your own case the morning after a celebration, when your head is heavy. Your feet will go a foot too high when yon attempt to step upon, the curb. "Rheumatics always walk on the out side of their feet that is, their ankles turn outward, while people affected with heart disease turn their ankles the other way. A man who has catarrh always wears the backs off the heels of his shoes, and one with weak eyes turns his toes in. A sufferer from any pulmonary disease walks largely on his toes. This comes from his continued gasping for breath. "A deaf person always stamps his feet when walking, and one who has liver complaint takes short, irregular steps. I could go through the entire list of hu man ills and name the characteristic of each in relation to the feet For the hu man citadel first begins to weaken at the bottom, and there the microbes make their first attack in many cases. Of course some microbes enter the system only through the palms of the hands, oth ers through the eyelids, and others still under the finger nails. "But give me a man's shoes in any case, and I will name his malady." Kansas City Times. FISHING IN POLYNESIA. Natives Hoolc the Pinny Tribes Willi Fishhooks Grown on Trees. A party of palu fishers are ready to set out from the little island of Nanomaga, the smallest but most thickly populated of the El lice group. The night must be windless and moonless; the latter condi tion being absolutely indispensable, al though, curiously enough, the fish will take the hook cn an ordinary starlight night Time after time have I tried my luck with either a growing or a waning moon, much to the amusement of the na tives, and never once did I get a palu, although other nocturnal feeding fish bit freely enough, notably a monstrous spe cies of sea. perch called la-hen. The tackle used by the natives is made of cocoanut sennit, four or eight strand fed, of great strength and capable of holding a 15 foot shark, should one of these prowlers seize the bait The hook Is made of wood in fact, the same as is used for shark fishing about one inch and a half in diameter, 14 inches in the shank, with a natural curve, the barb, or rather that which answers the purpose pi a barb, being supplied by a small piece lashed horizontally across the top of the end of the curve. These peculiar wooden hooks are grown. The roots of a. tree called ngua, Srhose wood is of great toughness, are watched when they, protrude from a bank and trained into the desired shape. Specimens of these may be seen in al most any ethnographical museum. To sink the line coral stones of three or four pounds' weight are used, attached by a very thick piece of sennit, or bark, .Which, when the fish is struck, is always broken by its struggles and falls off, thus releasing the line from an unnecessary .weight It is no light task hauling in a thick, heavy line hanging straight up and flown for a length of from 75 to 10O fath oms or more. -Chambers' Journal.

STORIES ABOUT OVLS. Fat. Birds Can Make ThemaelreS Very TJnpleaaant Companions. They ""say all sorts of mean things about owls. If a man basn't much re spect for yeur gray matter or intelli gence In general, he will say you are as stupid as an owl. . On the other hand, if you are brilliant and he likes you it would be just like him to say you were as wise as an owL And there you are. To come right down to the subject an owl is not by any manner of means the stupid bird many people believe him to be. Mr. John A. Lord, a taxidermist says the Portland XMe.) Express, relates a story about how he had once gone out to look at some traps be had set for rabbits. Whfc he reached his traps, he found that a rabbit had been caught, but something had carried it off and left no trace of Its identity behindit That night Mr. Lord took two or three traps and baited them about where the game bad been stolen the nlgbt before. A rabbit soon got ensnared, and Mr. Lord proceeded to watch It from a nearby cover. For a long time every thing was quiet, except for the fright ened tugs and jumps the Imprisoned rabbit made to get free. Suddenly there was a whir of wings, and, like a flash of lightning, a great horned owl pounced out of the gloom 4own on to the struggling victim. He killed the rabbit Instantly and began to eat it In his movements he got one foot in to another trap and found that he in turn was a prisoner. He thrashed around for some time, when Mr. Lord and a friend went to his release. The friend did not know the peculiarities of the great horned owl so well as Mr. Lord did or he never would have at tempted to lift the bird by his well foot The owl wasn't feeling particu larly amiable and made one of its fa mous passes at the man, fastening its powerful claws in the fleshy part of his right hand. There was a very animated scene for a few moments, and about all that could be seen was a bunch of man and owl rolling about the ground. When the combatants were brought to their feet again by Mr. Lord, the owl refused to break clean, and bis claws remained firmly Imbedded in the flesh. The owl had to be killed and the tendons In the leg cut before the cruel claws could be opened and withdrawn from tbe man's hand. He learned something about owls, however. Mr. Lord relates bow he once saw fully 50 crows after a great horned owL They made It so hot for him tbat he dropped to the ground, where they began to dart about blm. The owl merely bunched himself up Into a de fensive position and let tbem play their game. He kept so still that they be came bolder, and finally one came near. Like a flash that "irresistible right" shot out and fastened on Mr. Crow. There was one doleful squawk, and It whs all over. The owl then deliberate ly pulled the dead crow apart and ate It before the screeching flock tbat was watching him. It Is safe to say that they did not come near enough to both er him after that Right here It might be well to state a little something about the manner In which an owl strikes Its prey. If you ever noticed when owls pounce down on their victims, they usually stretch their legs out In front of tbem. They strike in with their sharp claws, throw ing their bodies forward and literally sitting down on tbe unfortunate object upon wheh they have fastened. This gives them a leverage and locks tbe sharp claws together in the flesh of the victim so firmly that it is Impossible for them to let go again until they have straightened out their legs. They; can generally put their claws through any flesh they pounce upon. Nasal CATARRH In all its staeres there should be cleanliness.
