Henry U. Johnson, ihe congressman •
from Indiana who earned a national rep- i
Utation by hi.s criticism cf President Mc- j
Kinley's Boston banquet speech, made
during the session of the Fifty-fifth con
gress, is in Minneapolis, the guest of hia !
Bister, Mrs. J. C. Hall, 2738 Park avenue.
Since adjournment of congress Mr.
Johnson has lost none of his antipathy
to the present administration. If possi
ble he is more severe than ever in his j
ciiticism of President McKinley and of
his policy. Last night Mr. Johnson ex
pressed himself in a very emphatic man
ner.
"Y-.'hat we need in the White house,"
caid Mr. Johnson, "is a man with some
convictions of his own and with courage
fn< ugh to stand up for them. We want
a man who is more concerned In deter
mining whether a thing is right than in
ascertaining if it is popular. Instead of
th;u we have an insincere and hypocriti
cal politician, who has been taught to
surrender any convictions of right which
he may possess at any time he thinks
them contrary to the prevailing senti
ment.
"President McKinley has demonstrated,
as no other man who has occupied the
White house has demonstrated, the neces
sity of a constitutional provision mak
ing a president Ineligible for a second
term. I have never been a McKinley
man. I have known the opinion held of
him by his colleagues while he was in
congress, and have always thought him
v'tak and insincere, without any ele
ments of statesmanship. Some people
may consider it high treason to express
Buch views, but at no time have I ever
hesitated to speak of the man as I
thought of him. He has sought and he
has obtained a large measure of public
applause which he has never deserved.
While I do not expect it, I certainly hope
for a revolution of sentiment.
"The attempt to subjugate the Philip
pines is part of a plan set on foot for
the purpose of enriching the 'ring' com
posed of President McKinley and the
men who influence him in his actu us.
From the start these men have had no
other idea than to hold the islands, but

i their purposes have been concealed from
the public. They have never laid the
matier cund.'dly before the public. They
; have never considered what their actions
would lead to and what the consequences
would be. No one has had a chance to
object to their policy. The freedom of
choice has b?en denied and withdrawal
made difficult.
"With this very object in view there
has been the most impudent and dis
honorable censorship of the press in the
Philippines that has ever been known
In the history of this country. Dispatch
es have been garbled and suppressed, the
people have been kept In ignorance of
the true state of affairs and President
McKiiiley has been responsible for it all.
1 have no doubt that he has directed that
it be done. I cannot imagine how the
American people hare submitted to it as
patiently as they have. If there is any
glory in the spilling of blood In the Phil
ippines, in the building up of a great navy
and army and in burdening the people
with unjust taxation, then President Mc-
Kinif.-- is entitled to that sriory.
"I believe that President McKlnley at
first intended that the United States
should oniy hold a coaling station in th«
Philippines and that Spain should with
draw, leaving the Filipjiv s in full pos
session of their independence. This. I
think, was the progiamme until the presi
dent, in his weakness, gave way to the
men who saw in the possession of the
Philippines an opportunity to acquire
Treat wealth—the same men who sue-
Seeded in securing the annexation of Ha
waii. Then at President McKin!ey's
command there was inserted in the treat?
of peace a provision for the cession ot
the entire territory and the payment of
$20,000,000 to Spain. What the result of
this and the course afterwards followed
by the administration has been is evident
now to everyone. We have a war on
our hands in the Philippines, which Is
not only a great injustice to the natives
of the islands, but to the people of this
country as well. We are sacrificing
every day valuable lives with no hop©
of ever receiving anything in return. t
"It only needs a little moral courage
to enable the administration to take the
proper step. There is not a nation
in the world which does not Know that
the United States could put an army In
the Philippines which could wipe out th»
Insurgents there. If we should with
draw— and there are many honorable
means of doing so—no country coul,
truthfully say that we had been defeated.
As an individual can retrace his teps it
he finds he Is in the wrong, so can a na
tion. We started the war against Spa'n
j for the purpose of freeing Cuba; we aril
| doing now to the people of the Phillp-
I pines what Spain has for years done
| with the Cubans and also with the Phll
j lppines."
"You heve a rrgiment on its way home
frrm the Philippines. These men enlisted
to help Cuba to her freedom- they have
! been used to prevent another equally
downtrodden people from securing their
freedom. Their place in the Philippines
is being taken by volunteer regiments
with no community behind them. Pres
ident McKinley is getting what he wants
—the soldier who must know nothing ex
cept to cbey orders end to kill, the
soldier who does not hail from any state
and v/ho cannot therefore appeal to any
state."
Mr. Johnson Is in Minneapolis in search
of Improvement in his physical condition.
Since the last session of congress he h?.s
resided in St. Louis. Mo., where he will
begin the- practice of law upon his return
In two or three weeks.
LAKE HARRIET VICTIMS.
Bodies of the Man and Woman
Drorvned Not Yet Recovered.
Prom early yesterday morning until
n< aily 10 o'clock last night a squad of
police officers dragged Lake Harriet,
around the spot where a rowboat capslz
td Thursday evening, drowning Sigurd
Rudd and Ida Ols< n. Absolutely no trace
of the bodies was found. This morning at
7 o'clock the search will be taken vp
again by the police, and it is proposed to
use dynamite during the day to aid in
bringing the bodies to the surface.
The lake at this point is said to be about
forty feet deep with a bottom of mud.
The subterannean inlet from Lake Cal
houn is 'supposed to be somewhere near
the spot where the drowning occurred,
and many think the bodies may have
sunk in the mud. The police believe, how
ever, that the bodies would not sink to
any depth, and that they can be re
covered.
Miss Oleon's relatives at Ashland, Wis.,
and Rudd's parents at 2912 Elliott avenue,
will care for the bodies as soon as they
have been recovered and passed through
the coroner's har.ds. A. J.McLead.the boat

DEATH FROM LOCKJAW.
I Scraleh on the Shoulder Fatal for a
Child of Ten.
Florence Gethel Gibbons, aged 10 years,
the only child of Mr. and Mrs. B. C. Gib
bons, residing at 1016 Twenty-fourth ave
nue northeast, Minneapolis, died Thurs
day night at the family home of lock
jaw, a disease that has been unusually
prevalent and almost invariably fatal
j this summer. She passed away almost
I without warning, and even now it is
not absolutely certain just what was pri
marily responsible for her sad death.
The only injury to the little girl that
can be recalled was received at Minne
;ha ha Falls about two weeks ago. The
j members of the family were there for an
; outing, and in some way Florence re
; eeived a very slight scratch on her shoul
: der. The first symptoms appeared Tues
-1 day. Mr. Gibbons was preparing to at
; tend the picnic of the Ohio association,
I at Minnetonka, when his little daughter
i complained of soreness in her jaws. Even
I then the scratch of a week before was
| hardly recalled. Doctors were summoned
! and Drs. Kelsey and MacDonald, who re
| sponded. announced that she was suffer
i ing from lockjaw. From that time on
I her condition grew rapidly worse until
I death resulted.

MAY STRIKE FLORIDA.
Hurricane Is Rapidly Approaching
NiiMsfiu. Bahama Inlands.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.—The West In
dian hurricane tonight is rapidly ap
proaching Nassau, Bahama islands,
where the barometer has fallen consid
erably since morning and the wind had
increased to a velocity of thirty-six miles
an hour at 5:40 o'clock this afternoon.
Rain had been falling all day. While
there is still a possibility that the s*orm
may curve out to sea, the officials of the
weather bureau now express the opinion
that it will reach the coast of Florida,
and that its influence there may begin to
be felt by tomorrow morning. Hurricane
warnings have been sent out over the
state by telegraph and telephone, and
every measure taken to put the inhab
itants on their guard.
The maps on file in the weather bureau
show the course which has been followed
by the August hurricanes for the last
twenty-one years, but there appears to
be very little consistency in the direc
tion which they have taken.
The storm is now traveling much slow
er than during the earlier period of ita
existence, the total distance covered
having been about 1,200 miles. Its cen
ter now appears to be a little southeast
of Nassau.
A report received by the signal office
today from Maj. Glassford, stationed at
San Juan, Porto Rico, states that the
telegraph wires in the island are down
and that the officers have suffered greatly
frow.* the storm. Considerable money
will be required to restore them to their
former condition.
Weather bureau officials are surprised
to hear that the town of Ponce was not
warned of the approach of the storm, as
stated in press dispatches from that city.
The capital, San Juan, is the distributing
point for the islands of Porto Rico, and
prompt notification of the approaching
hurricane was given to the weather bu
reau official there.

FARGO, N. D., Aug. 11.-(Special.)—Re
ports from the hr.il stricken district re
ceived today show that yesterday's es
timate of the damage was probably
under rather than over the truth. It is
now believed that the damage will reach
135,000 acres, although definite reports are
slow In coming in. 1-ate last evening
Cass eounty was struck by another hail
storm, coming from the southwest. The
damage was comparatively slight, as the
storm was mostly wind and heavy rain,
the hail appearing only In spots. La-
Moure and Ransom county crops are re
ported damaged by the wind. Several
farms in the vicinity of Mapleton were
hailed out. Probably 5,000 acres were
destroyed there.
Fuller reports from the Minnesota ride
of the river indicate growing figures of
loss one conservative machinery man,
just in from there, states that a 50 per
cent loss on 75,000 acres is too low.
Two million bushels of wheat are esti
mated to have been lost in the big- storm.
Th»i loss seems doubly severe from the
fact that harvest was progressing nicely,
and from 15 to 20 per cent of the crop
was cut. The anticipated large yields
were Instantly wiped out just as the grain
was ripe and golden. In all the storm
stricken section insurance men assert
that less than 5 per cent of the acreage
was covered by hail insurance.

Paul Brewing company and located at
the corner of Jefferson and AVebster
streets, burned shortly before 6 o'clock
last night. Three horses and a cow own
ed by the brewing company were caught
In the burning ruins. The loss will reach
$2,000. The cause of the lire is unknown.
The fire was discovered by persons pass
ing the barn, and the first to arrive found
it on fire in a dozen places. A large
amount of hay was stored in the loft and
this quickly caught, spreading the fire in
every u:rection. Before the fire depart
ment arrived the roof was ablaze and
the iiuide of the structure was like a fur
nace. A strong wind which prevailed at
the time made it extremely difficult for
the department to gain con;rol. Burning
shingles were carried for blocks and
sparks set fire to the adjoining dwelling
house of Mrs Kriche, at 30". Colborne
street. No damage was done to the res
idence as the fire deprtment i-xtinguished
the blaze before it gained headway. The
barn and its contents are a total loss.
GEX. MIL.ES WIXS.
Scores a Victory Over Ex-Secretary
of Wnr Alger.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.—Secretary
Root acted In a role of peacemaker, and
as a result everybody at the war depart
ment is pleased with everybody else. The
delightfully harmonious condition of af
fairs prevailing ii» department circles was
brought about by the secretary's an
nouncement that the order respecting the
status of the inspector general's office
would be so modified that it would be sat
isfactory to everybody concerned. Now
Gon. Miles is pleased, .Gen. Breckinridge
smiles and Adjt. Gen! Corbin is gratified.
The only man who seems to be a little
wearj is the secretary himself, who, for
nesrly two hours today, listened to a
learned discussion by Gen. Miles, of the
reasons why he should have control of
the Inspector general's department equal
ly with the secretary of war, and why
he should receive reports from the artil
lery and cavalry schools, as heretofore.
Upon the conclusion of this conference
the secretary listened very carefully to
Gen. Breckinridge, who is satisfied to re
main under the control of Gen. Miles,
and to Gen. Corbin, and the order as is
sued will differ but little from that under
which the inspector general's department
has been conducted in the past. Thus
Gen. Miles has secured a victory over
former Becetarv >*'srcr. p^x gpor"*-»-"
Root has temporarily, at least, restored
harmony.

WOMEN WHO FIHT
A MODERN APPLICATION OF THE
FAMOUS EPIGRAM, "FRAILTY,
THY NAME IS WOMAN."
It is a curious fact that the word faint
is dertved from a French word meaning
to pretend. The word feint, meaning a
deceptive movement, as by the boxer or
swordsman, has the same derivation. So
that originally a woman who fell for
ward in unconsciousness was merely one
who feigned illness. But there is no
feigning in that sudden failure o£ the vi
tal power which blanches the cheek,
closes the eyes, seems to stop the breath
and sends the woman an inert mass
upon the counter at which she is shop
ping. Painting is very real for the
sufferer who cannot go to ball or theater
without this liability to sudden uncon
sciousness, menacing her enjoyment and
safety.
Why do women faint? Women them
selves would in this advanced age of
progress be the first to deny the charge
of physical frailty. They run and row,
they swim and ride, they golf and shoot
side by side with men. And yet they
faint. You rarely hear of a mans faint
ing. Such a thing is so uncommon as
//jfv\ yl/i * *""" —— —
to partake of the nature of a phenom
enon. Why don't men faint? Why can
a weak-framed, undersizc-d man go
through life without fainting, when a
splendid woman, a Diana for beauty
and courage, must know the humiliation
of this sudden lapse of consciousness?
There is
A SCARLET CLUE
to follow which will bring us safely oat
from the labyrinth of discussion. There
are certain times when a woman is more
liable to faint than she is at other times.
And those times ■will be found to be the
times when the womanly nature and
functions are most dominant. The con
clusion is irresistible. As a general prep
osition a woman faints because the deli
cate organs by which she is differentiated
from brother or husband are aft fined by
disease. Woman is creation's master
piece, the last and fairest work of the
Creator. To her are given Joys and sor
row which no man may know and no man
can share. To her also is given a capaci
ty for suffering beyond the knowledge of
men. The great Question is; To what ex
tent is this suffering necessary? Has
wiman been made so finely only that
she may know the refinement of suf
fering? The very thought is an outrage
on Nature. The "new woman" will know
nothing of the suffering of ihe wwman
of the past. She will "run ami not be
weary." She will "walk and not faint."
Let her put away at once and forever
the thought that she is under Nature's
particular ban and must suffer because
she is a woman. Let her relegate that
superstition to the limbo where all the
old superstitions that left her a slave
have long been relegated. let her believe
that there is a way to sound physical
health which those that seek will surely
iind.
THE RIGHT WAY
lo escape the physical bondage of weak
ness is to follow the guidance of other
women who have found a way of escape
from the sufferings so long esteemed in
separable from the feminine natuie.
"For seven years I was contined to
bed most of the time,"' writes Mrs. M.
P. Davis, of Honaker, Russell county,
Va "I had four doctors, and they said
I could not be cured. I had ulceration
of womb and female weakness so I could
not stand on my feet but a short time;
hal bearing down sensation, pain in the
small of my back. My stomach and
bowels, also legs and feet, would swell
and everything I ate hurt me. I could
not sleep well, was so short of breath I
could not lie down at night; had soreness
and tenderness over womb, troubled with
palpitation of heart, and suffered with
headache all the time, I would get blind
and have fainting spells, had dark rings
around my eyes and my eyes seemed
bloodshot; suffered from painful men
struation; could not He on my left side.
I would have numb spells, pains around
my heart every morning, my lungs hurt
mo a great deal, and my shoulders, too.
I would spit up blood at times, memory
was poor, hearing was bad. hands nnd
feet were cold all the time, and I had
chills and night-sweats. Arter the doctors
said I could not be cured I got hold of
one of Dr. Pierce's Memorandum Books
and read about how he had cured so
many patients afflicted like I was, so I
thcught his medicine might help me. I
wrote to Dr. Pierce for advice, and he
sent me a very encouraging letter in re
ply, advising me to take his 'Favorite
Prescription' and 'Golden Medical Dis
covery' and his 'Pleasant Pellets.' I got
two bottles and used these and felt much
better. I sent and got six bottles more.
After I had used four bottles I broke out
all over in sores. I then quit taking the
medicine and wrote to Dr. Pierce, and
he advised me to still keep on taking his
medicine. I did so, and soon found it
to be a great medicine. I can now work
all day and not feel tired at night. I
can sleep all night and can eat anything
I want at any time. I can walk and go
anywhere I please. I fer-1 better than I
ever did. Can do all kinds of work in the
house and outdoors, too. I am sorry I did
not take Dr. Pierce's medicine when I
first began to have poor health. I could
have saved what I paid to humbugs. My
friends say that I do not look like the
same woman. When I commenced your
medicine I only weighed one hundred
pounds. Now I weigh one hundred and
forty. I take gr-» t pleasure in recom
mending your remedies to suffering wom
en. I thank you a thousand times for
your good medicine and your kind advice.
I weed four bottlee of the 'Golden Med
ical Discovery,' four of 'Favorite Pre
scription' and two Yials of your 'Pleasant
Pellets.' "
The cure of Mrs. Davis offers a fair
example of what Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription has done and is doing to
make weak women strong. This is not
an exceptional case. It is not a solitary
case In more than thirty years of prac
tice Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting
physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., has treat
ed and cured more than half a million
women. Many of these had exoerieneed
years of suffering. They had spent large
sums of money seeking a cure in vain.
Doctors gave them up. Tet Dr. Pierce'a
3
treatment cured them; made them happy
wives and joyful mothers.
•IT SEEMS TOO WONDERFUL,"
some women write. It Is wonderful
that such results should come to tha
woman who had given up all hope.
But from a medical point of view it
is not such a wonderful thing that a
medicine perfected In years of experi
ence should do the one thing it was
made to do. It seems wonderful when
the musician sits down at the piano
and brings forth harmonies undreamed
of. It is practice which brings the per
fection. Hundreds of people can play
the piano, but only one here and there
is a master of the instrument, and
that one person has given his life to
the mastery of the piano. It's tha
same with the cures wrought by Dr.
Pierce and his great remedy for women
"Favorite Prescription." There are
hundreds who can prescribe for women's
ailments. But only one man here and
there can prescribe with certain-ty, and
that one man has made the cure of
woman's disease a life-long study. Dr.
Pierce is such a man. He has made a
life study of the diseases peculiar to
women, and he treats those diseases
with a positive knowledge and cer
tainty which bring success in almost
every case. Ninety-eight per cent of
all the women who have been treated
by Dr. Pierce have been completely
cured. **
Women who are suffering from weak
ening drains, irregularity, inflamma
tion, ulceration. bearing-down pains
or headache, backache, nervousness or
other consequences of a deranged con
dition of the delicate womanly organs,
should begin at once the use of Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription In the
confident expectation of a complete cure.
Sick women are invited to consult Dr.
Pierce by letter, absolutely without
charge or fee, and thus avoid the un
pleasant examinations, indelicate ques
tions and offensive local treatm.n'.s so
obnoxious to womanly modesty. All
letters are held as strictly private and
sacredly confidential, and all answers
are sent in plain, private envelopes, bear
ing no advertising or other printing up
on them. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce,
Buffalo, N. Y.
There is no similar offer of free medi
cal advice which has behind it an insti
tution of national celeb ity like 'ha
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Irstitute
of Buffalo, N. Y., where Dr. Pleice and
his associate staff of nearly a pcore of
specialists are engaged every -day in
the year In the treatment and cue of
disease. There is no similar offer hav
ing behind it the ability gained by Dr.
Pierce in over thirty years of the suc
cessful treatment of the diseases pecu
liar to women.
There is no alcohol in "Favorite P e
scription," neither does it contain any
opium, cocaine or other narcotic. It is
in the truest and fullest sense,
A TEMPERANCE MEDICINE.
In view of the fact that there have
been recently published false formulas
of our remedies, in which alcohol and
opium are named among the ingre
dients,
WE OFFER $1,000.00
for each and every bottle of Dr. Pierce'g
Favorite Prescription and "Golden Med
ical Discovery" which on analysis shall
show the presence of alcohol, opium,
cocaine or any other narcotic.
A GIFT FOR WOMEN.
We offer free to every woman Dr.
Pierce's Common Sense Medical Ad

over 700 illustrations, and Is s nt bound
In cloth or paper, as desired. Ssr.d a
one-cent stamps for the paper-bound
