i r .) Women and the Wheel. 1 WOMEN AND the wheel (From the Gazette. Delawere. Ohio.) The healthfulness of bicycle riding foi women is still a disputed question be tween eminent physicians and beam reformers. Used In moderation It surely creates for women a means of outdoor exer cise, the benefit of which all physi cians concede. Used to excess, like any other pastime. Its effect Is likely to be dangerous. Th experience of Miss Bertha Reed, the 17-year-old daughter of Mr. J. R. Reed. 335 Lake St.. Delaware, O., may point a moral for parents who. like Mr. and Mrs. Reed, have experienced some concern for their daughters, who are fond of wheeling. In the fall of SK Miss Bertha, who had ridden a great deal, began to fall in an alarm ing manner. She grew steadily paler and thinner, and it appeared she was going into consumption. Rest and quiet did her absolutely no good. A physi cian found her pulse at 104 a very high rate. Thin king this may have been due to tern' porary ner. v o u s ness when he ex amined her. he watched her closely, but her pulse con tinued at that rate fcr two weeks. He was satisfied then, from her high pulse and steadily wasting condition that she was suffering from anaemia or a bloodless condition of the body. She became extremely weak, and could not stand the least noise or ex citement. In this condition of affairs they were recommended by an old friend to get some of that famous blood medicine. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. They did so. and al most from the first dose Bertha began to improve. She continued to take the pills and was by means of these piiLa made entirely well, and more grate ful people than her parents cannot be found in the whole state of Ohio. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have rroved a boon to womankind. Acting directly n the blood and nerves, they restore the requisite vitality to all parts cf the body; creating functional regularity and perfect harmony throughout the nervous system. The pallor cf the cheeks is changed to the delicate tluEh of health; the eyes brighten; the mus cles grow elastic, ambition is created and good health returns. When the Weak Co to the Wall. The Eskimcs dread the winter, and take early precautions to provide against famine. As the season ap proaches the great herds of reindeer migrate southward, and the walrus cr the seal are all that remain to use fcr food. When an In-wlnd Is blowing the wal rus is easily found cn the outer edge of the Ice-packs.. When It is blowing off the shore, however, the Ice-pack sails out to sea with the walruses cn them. The natives then class their numbers In a list, from the strongest to the weakest. The fcod that is In stcre Is divided up. the weakest having the smallest quantity the strongest the largest. Thus the mightiest huntera have strength to provide for the oth ers. It Is a cruel system, but, nevertheless, a necessary one. If all were weak, ail would die If some are strong they will save many cf the weak as well as themselves. Mr. Third Flat Great Scott! Who U that thumping the piano? Mrs. Third Flat Thumping. Indeed!

The charge against M. L. Hayward. r that he admitted to Judge Ben S. Ba republlcan nominee for governor, as ker: "The B. & M. not let me run a corporation tool Is well established j fcr congress." by republican witnesses. Early in Au gust the World-Herald charged that Mr. Hayward desired and had intended to be First a candidate for congress In the "Hayward has been the recognized at dlstrlct. The railroads, how- torney of the B. & M. at Nebraska City ever. wanted E. T. Burkett as their candidate for congress and M. L. Hayward as their candidate for gov ernor. Concequently Mr. Hayward was forced out of the congressional race and Into the gubernatorial nomi nation by the railroads. This charge was copied extensively by the lews- papers of the state, and on August IS the St. Paul republican threw out the following den: "Many of the popo-dem papers are quoting Judge Hayward as having said: The railroads will not let me run for congress. Now. we put it to them fair and square: When, where and to whom did Mr. Hayward make this staaemnt? General assertions don't go in this campaign. The people want facts. No more rainbow chasing; tell us all about It cr shut up. Generali ties don't go. On August 21 the World-Herald re produced this article from the St. Paul Republican and replied as follows: M. L. Hayward. the republican nomi nee for governor, made the statement at the Mlliard hotel in the city of Omaha. The gentleman to whom Mr. Hay ward made the statement was Judge Benjamin S. Baker of Omaha. The exact language used by Mr. Hayward tn explanation cf the reason why he did not exercise his well known preference and remain a candidate for congress was: "The B. & M. will not .et me run for congress." If the St. Paul Republican desires iny further particulars the World-Her-ild suggests that It address Hon. Ben lamin S. Baker, who will not deny this xpllcit statement. On August 23 the World-Herald printed the following letter from Mr. Baker: Omaha. Neb.. Aug. 22. Editor World 3erald: Neither admitting nor denying :he article in Sunday's World-Herald. 15 I detest newspaper controversies, whatever I did say was long before the epubiican state convention and said, is I considered it.

It has also been established by the testimony of the Omaha Bee. the re publican organ.

When M. U Hayward. the republican nominee for governor, said to Judge Ben S. Baker. ' The B. & M. will not let me run for congress. Air. "oj"" revealed a startling instance where the corporations had molded a man of putty to a finish. But when the B. & M. told Mr. Hay ward he should not run for congress, but must be a candidate for governor, this was not the first instance where Mr. Hayward had been given an as signment by the railroads. In JS93 M. L. Hayward appearea oe fore the Nebraska court of Impeach ment to defend A. H. Humphrey, the republican commissioner of public lands and buildings. After Humphrey's acquittal the Omaha Bee. In Its Issue of June 7, 18S3. had this to say: Now that the strain is "'.axed. Jaws .c " . 1 1 I to leak out from the camp oi ine iu-road-penitentiary-state house combine, and some very interesting features are beginning to be disclosed. For ln- to leak out from the camp oi me road-penitentiary-state house combine, j stance, wno is ineic t ree that Judge M. L. Hayward of Ne braska City was retained by Humph tey to defend him because he was a friend of the impeached commissioner of lands and buildings and had beei m his confidence for some time? But such was not the fact, and it is now al. lcged that Humphrey and Hayward were total strangeis until the railroads had made up their pool, hired their lawyers and assigned Hayward to this tart of the defense, and they knew nothing about each other until that time. Hayward had been the recog nized attorney for the B. & M. at Ne braska City for years. . . The sug gestion was heard that !t would be a good Idea to rub Judge Hayward for the vacancy on the supreme bench this fall and it was immediately Indorsed by the trio, whese reputations have emerged white as mud from an im mersion in supreme court ink. With these facts vouched for by the local republican organ it is no wonder that the railroads have sufficient au thority over Judge Hayward in order to successfully forbid that he should exercise his well known preference by becoming a candidate for congress in the First Nebraska district. i . ..v.a , ann 'DID NOT DARE TO GO TO GREAT A LENGTH."

The efforts ef the railroad balderdash that has floated to the sur face since the convention adjourned. Maxwell's friends did not nominate Harrison, neither did they vote for him. A large number cf railroad emissaries masqueraded as Maxwe'.l men in order to secure seats In the convention, where they could deliberately violate their In structions. These are the men who assisted in Harrison's nomination. They would have voted for Hayward in pref erence to Harrison, but they did not dare to go to so great a length. According to the Bee. Harrison, whom. In 1893, It alleged to be the cor poration candidate, was preferable to Hayward, and the men who assisted In Harrison's nomination "wuold have voted for Hayward in preference to Harrison, but they did not dare to go to so great a length." Yet the republican convention of 1S9S, while pretending to be controlled and dominated by new men, did "dare to go to so great a length" as to nomi nate M. L. Hayward for the office or governor of Nebraska. ONE MORE CORPORATION ASSIGN MENT FOR HAYWARD. M. L. Hayward. republican nominee for governor, wanted to be a candidate for congress in the First Nebraska dis trict. The railroads, however, had mad othe arrangements. They wanted E. J. Burkett of Lancaster to be the re publican nominee for congress In that district, aj-.d they wanted M. L Hay ward to be the republican nominee for governor. To Judge Ben S. Baker. M L. Hayward admitted, "The B. & M. will not let me run for congress." That was an Interesting admission to come from a man whose friends pretend that he is qualified for the high office of gov ernor; but yielding to corporation de crees long ago became a fixed habit with Mr. Hayward. Yesterday the World-Herald quoted from the Omaha Bee ef June T. 1S93. which, stated that the railroads had "assigned Hayward" to defend one cf the impeached state officers. In the same issue the Bee said: "Hayward has been the recognized attorney of the B. AM.at Nebraska City for years." In the same Issue the Bee said that it was proposed to run Mr. Hayward for the supreme bench at the ensuing elec tion of 1S93. and that the preposition "was Immediately Indorsed by the trio whose reputations have emerged white as mud from an Immersion In Supreme court Ink." After the republican state convention of 1S9S had been called for the pur pose of nominating a candidate for Judge of the supreme court, Mr. Hay ward formally announced his candida cy for that position. Commenting upon this fact, the Omaha Bee. the repub lican organ. In Its Issue of October 26. 1S93. had this to say editorially: Judge Hayward of Otoe was injected Into the contest by the railroads and the Impeached officials whom he de fended before the supreme court. The man who is under such obliga tions to corporations that they cai suc cessfully forbid that he should exer cise his own preference by becoming a candidate for congress, who Is "as signed" by corporations to defend re publican officials charged with misde meanors, and who Is so weak that cor- Uon8 lnject him !nto another con- . , for the nign onice ui bra8ka In the republican state convention of 1S7S M. L- Hayward presided. A fight was made on behalf of a resolution advocating a reduction of the Union Pacific bridge toll. Chairman Hay ward was so deeply interested In de feating this resolution that he bad an active part In opposition to the meas ure. That convention was held October 1, 187S. Four days later the Omaha Bee, that now supports Hayward for governor, had the following editorial: THE UNION PACIFIC BRIDGE RES OLUTIONS. The pretended rejection of the resolu tions was, however, achieved by the monopoly lawyers and their stool pig eons voting by counties for absentees. The whole vote cf Lancaster county was recorded against the resolutions, although only five delegates were pres ent and three of them were monopoly lawyers. Thus also the ten votes of Cass county were recorded against them, although Sam Chapman was the only delegate present. Thus Otoe coun ty republicans were grossly misrepre sented by Mr. Hayward. who insisted on casting the votes of the nine ab sent delegates against the resolutions Now. the rejection of the resolutions by such Infamous tactics will not b accepted as the expression of the re publican party of Nebraska. difficult color to hit.

Thus. also, two attor neys cast fourteen Totes of Lancaster county against the reeolutlons. and half dozen other monopoly tools. cast seme thirty or forty vetes as '.net tho popular demaid for bridge toll reduc tion. Now. can any candid person charge the republican party or Ita con vention with acts committed by a mi nority of unprincipled political trick sters and subsidized tools of monopoly? It was in the following year, 1ST9. that Hayward concluded to be the re publican nominee for Judge Of the su preme court. The plans were all laid, but Hayward was defeated by this re minder In an editorial printed In the Eee October 1, 1S79: Outside f his own county this man Hayward was never as much as thought of, ur.tll last September, when :ie was. by the compromise between the factions, made the chairman ef he rerublican state convention.

For this reprehensible betrayal ef trust this man Hayward is to te rewarded n-ith a seat en the supreme bench. It is an Indisputable fact that the bar gain was made then and there between Hayward en er.e side and Thurston. Valentine and ether Union Pacific cap pers cn the ether side.

"Will you kindly allow me space to say that I quite agree with you that "there Is more real religion abroad In this country now than at any other period of its history." There was also more real medicine in army clrclea last summer than ever before. There was more heroic devo tion to the sick than over before; but you yourself complained of the awful amount of sickness and disease. My critics assume that I teach that "re ligion is a failure." I held the con trary. I took particular pains to say that I was not speaking of the failure of religion, or the failure even of Pro testantism. I passed no Judgment on Protestantism or the Boman church. I am an optimist and always have been. Sectarianism, however, has done much harm and sent millions of the unconverted, as I said, to unsancti f.ed graves. It is Indefensible, and the business men In the various denomina tions who are now paying the bills will have something to say. and will rise up. refuse to be taxed for the support of petty denominations and Insist upon the union of Christianity against the common foe. operating a vast "trust." I am Judging no 6ect. I recognize the good men in all. and rejoice in all the good they fl). I am not making claims for the perpetuity of my own church. I have frequently maintained that all existing Protestant bodies will go out of their denominational exist ence, say by the middle of the next century, if not sooner. - The Incom ing century will shake sectarianism, and the Divine power ruling over all vill strengthen the thing; that remain. It will be useless for bi.crots to try even to conceal the,stiuation. for while various denominations report numer ical gains nnd are dsjinf much good work, the situation Is enMrely satisfac tory to Infidels all over the land.
