Henry U. Johnson, the congressman
from Indiana who earned a national rep
utation by his criticism of President Mc-
Klnley'a Boston banquet speech, made
during the session of the Fifty-fifth con
gress, is ia Minneapolis, the guest of his
sister, 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
criticism of President McKinley and of
his policy. Last night Mr. Johnson ex
pressed himself in a very emphatic man
ner.
"What we need In the White house,"
said Mr. Johnson, "is a man with some
convictions of his own and with courage
enough 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
that 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
weak and insincere, without any ele
ments of statesmanship. Some peop'.e
may consider it high treason to express
Bueh 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 ho has never deserved.
While I do not expect it, I certainly hope
for a revolution of sentiment.
"The attempt to subjugate the Philip
pin, s is part of a ph.n set on foot for
th- j purpose of enriching the 'ring' com
posed of President McKinley and the
men who influence him in his actions.
From the start thesa men have had no
other idea than to hold the islands, but

DR. E. N. RAY,

their purposes have been concealed from
the public. They have never laid the
matter candidly 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 JlP.g J'Cen denied and withdrawal
made dinicult.
"With this very object in view there
has been the most impudent and dis~
honorable censorship of the press in the
Philippines that hag 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
McKinley has bven responsible for it all.
I have no doubt that he has directed that
it be dene. I cannot imagine how the
American people have 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-
Kinlf/ is entitled to that glory.
"I believe that President McKinley at
first intended that the United States
should only hold a coaling station in th«
Philippines and that Spain should with
draw, leaving the Filipinos in full pos
session of their indep?ndenee. This. I
think, was the programme until the presi
dent, in his weakness, gave way to the
men who saw in the possession of the
Philippines an opportunity to acquire
great wealth —the same men who suc
ceeded 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 cessioi. o*
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 hol)e
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 tepa it
he finds he is in the wrong, so can a na
tion. We started the war against Spain
for the purpose of freeing Cuba; we ara
doing now to the people of the Philip
pines what Spain has for years done
with the Cubans and also with the Phil
ippines."
"You h&ve a regiment on its way heme
from 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 and to kill, the
soldier who does not hni] from any state
and who 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 hp.s
reside! In St. Louis, Mo., where he will

I-AKE HARRIET VICTIMS.
HtxlU'N of the Man and Woman
Drowned IVot Vet Recovered.
From early yesterday morning until
nearly 10 o'clock last night a squad of
police officers dragged Lake Harriet,
around the spot where a rowboat capsiz
ed Thursday evening, drowning Sigurd
Rudd and Ida Olson. Absolutely no trace
of the bodies was found. This morning at
7 o'clock the search will be taken up
again by the police, and it is proposed to
use dynamite during the day to aid in
i bringing the bodies to the surface.
The lake at this point is said to be about
■ forty feet deep with a bottom of mud.
j The subterannean inlet from Lake Cal-
I 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
cox ered.
Miss Olson'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 hands. A.J.McLead.the boat
house attendant to whose efforts the sav
ing of Stein and Miss Franzeen were un
questionably due, aided the police yester
day in the search for the bodies.
DEATH FROM LOCKJAW.
Scratch 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
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
I members of the family were there for an
j outing, and in some way Florence re-
I ceived a very slight scratch on her shoul
; der. The first symptoms appeared Tues
: day. Mr. Gibbons was preparing to at-
I tend the picnic of the Ohio association,
! at Minnetonka, when his little daughter
j complained of soreness in her jaws. Even
i then the scratch of a week before was
■ hardly recalled. Doctors were summoned
I and Drs. Ke!sey and MacDonald, who re
! sponded, announced that she was suffer
ing from lockjaw. From that time on
; her condition grew rapidly worse until
' death resulted.

MAY STRIKE FLORIDA.
Hnrrk-ane Is Rapidly Approaching
IViissnii. Bahama Islands.
"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 tform
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 th* 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
bo v.ery little consistency in the direc
tion which they have taken.
The storm is now traveling much slow
er than during the earlier period of its
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 of!lc«
today from Maj. Glassford, stationed at
San Juan, Porto Rico, states that tha
telegraph wires in the island are down
and that the officers have suffered greatly
frow.i 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.

TOTAL OF TWO MILLIONS
That Many Bushels of, Wheat Now
Reported to Have Been Destroyed
by the Hail and Wind Storm
Which Swept Over „Sections of
Minnesota and North, /Dakota—
The News of the Northwest.
FARGO, N. D., Aug. 11.— (Special.)— Re
ports from the hail stricken district re
ceived today show that yesterday's es
timate of tha 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. Late last evening
Cass county was struck by another hail
storm, coming from the southwest. The
damage was comparatively slight, as the
storm was mestly 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 side
of the river indicate growing figures of
loss one conservative machinery man,
just in from there, states that a 50 per
cent losr. on 75.000 acres is too low.
Two million bushels of wheat are esti
mated to have been lost in the big storm.
The 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.
SHAKOPEE, Minn., Aug. 11.—(Special.)

streets, burned shortly before 6 o'clock
last night. Three horses ar.d 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 pas-s
--lng the barn, ar.d the first to arrive found
It on fire in a dozen places. A large
ami unt of hay was stored in the loft and
this quickly caught, spreading- the fire in
every direction. Before the fire depart
ment arrived the roof was ab'.aze and
the inside 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 control. Burning
shingles were carried for blocks and
sparks set fire to the adjoining dwelling
house of Mrs Kriche, at 36! Colborne
street. No damage was done to the res
idence as the fire deprtmont extinguished
the blaze before it gained headway. The
barn and its contents are a total loss.
GEN. MILES WINS.
Scores a Victory Over Ex-Secretary
of War Alger.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 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 1» department circles was
bn upht 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
wear! is the secretary himself, who, for
nearly 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 Secetfrv Aleer. p**<l g(.pr«ti-<'
Root has temporarily, at least, restored
harmony.

WOMEN WHO FAIiW
A MODERN APPLICATION OP THE
FAMOUS EPIGRAM, "FRAILTY,
THY NAME IS WOMAN."
It is a curious fact that the wcrd faint
is derived 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 of 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. Fainting is very real for the
suflerer 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
///i'\\\ " I sm iv^v ■-""——*"*
to partake of the nature of a phenom
enon. Why don't men faint? Why can
a weak-framed, undersized 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 wtll bring us safely out
from the labyrinth of discussion. There
are certain times when a woman is more
Hnble 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 prop
osition a woman faints because the deli
cate organs by which she is differentiated
from brother or husband are aftecled by
disease. Woman is creation's master
piece, the last and fairest work of the
Creator. To her are given Joys und 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
woman been made 30 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 the w»man
of the past. She will "run and not be
weary." She will "walk and noi 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. T.et her believe
that there is a way to sound physical
health which those that seek will surely
find.
THE RIGHT WAY
to escape the physical bondage of weak
ness Is to follow the guidance of other
women who have found a way of escapa
from the sufferings so long esteemed in
separable from the feminine natuie.
"For seven years I was confined to
btd 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;
ha-.i bearing down sensation, pain in the
small of my back. My stomach and
bowels, also legs and feet, would swell,
ar.d 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
ar.d have fainting spells, had dark rings
around my eyes and my eyes seemed
bloodshot; suffered from painful men
struation; could not lie on my left side.
I would have numb spells, pains around
my heart every morning, my lungs hurt
m^ a great deal, and my shoulders, too.
I would spit up blood at times, memory
was poor, hearing was bad, hands and
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
thought 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
medk-ine 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 feel 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 T weigh one hundred and
forty. I take gr-»t pleasure in recom
mending your remwlles to suffering wom
en. I thank you a thousand times for
your good medicine and your kind advice.
I vi«ed four bottles of the 'Golden Med
ical Discovery,' four of 'Favorite Pre
scription' and two rials 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 experienced
years of suffering. They had spent large
sums of money seeking a cure in vain.
Doctors gave them up. Tet Dr. Pierce's
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
o"ther 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.nls 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 the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute
of Buffalo, N. Y., where Dr. Pierce and
his associate staff of nearly a score ot
specialists are engaged every day in
the year in the treatment and cu-e 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.
