SILVER KING 3 DON'T CONTRIBUTE
Proof Positive That Bryan I« Not th© Tool
of Silver Miner*—They Have Kai»«d a
Pund of Two Hundred Thousand Dollar**
but t’halrman Joiim Get* None—Goes to
Dhmriuination of Sliver Literature*
Chicago, Sept. 10. — When Mr. Irish
of California, ungallantly called Mr.
Bryan a commercial traveller for a great
syndicate of silver miners he put it into
the head of H. H. Kohlsaat, proprietor
of the Chicago Times-Harald, to investi
gate the subject. But, although that
newspaper asserts that a campaign fund
of SSOO,(XX) has been raised by the silver
mine millionaires, no proof of the fact
has yet been produced.
Chaiman Jones denounces the story
as a malicious lie. Mr. Stevens, the
acting chairman of the national Silver
party, who is said to be the custodian off
this immense contribution, also denies
the tale.
It is said that when Governor Alt
geld was in Colorado recently he in
duced DuW H. Moffatt, the Denver
banker ai>T-r mineowner, to raise the
SSOO,<XX) fjAd. Great pains have been
tuaeu to trace this matter, and it ap
pears that nn such fund has been turned
over to the j Democratic national com
mittee or is at its disposal.
Tua plain truth is that the Bryan na
t onal committee is bankrupt. Chair
man Jones sent personal appeals to the
silver mineowners, asking them, on the
ground of their personal interests, to
fry out a little fat. But the mountain
millionaires refused to make him their
agent in usiug money.
Poverty I* Party'* Hen<lquarter«.
A fund has been raised by the mine
ewners, and there is little doubt that
Mr. Hteveus. chairman of the Silver
party committee, has control of it.
Twelve men agreed to contribute $200,-
900. The total fund was to b made up
by a levy on J 25 men.
Chairman Jones says that the Demo
cratic national committee has received
no large fund from the silver mine own
ers. Poverty broods in the party’s
headquarters in Chicago; all the state
committes are in distress.
But what of the greet free silver lit
erary bureau in Washington, which
sends out an average of 500,000 docu
menta a day to the voters of this coun
try? Whois paying for this? It costs
mouey to handle political literature on
a scale like this.
Chairman Jones is in such close straits
for money that he cannot come to the
relief of the state committees in Illinois
or Indiana, where two decisive battles
of the campaign must be fought.
The Bryan state committee in Indi
ana is already in debt. The s Ute com
mittee in Illinois has not received more
than $3,000 up to this time.
Yet while these organizations appeal
in vain to the national committee for
help. 500,000 documents a day are
shipped from Washinton and free silver
mouey pays for them.

STRICKEN DBWH ]
BY PARALYSIS
ALONE AT THE TIME AND UNABLE TO MOVE
For a Year a Woman Seeks Relief
Without Success, but It Finally
Comes at Last.
Another Case of Nerve Exhaustion Cited, Which
was Cured in a Similar Way by
a Nerve Food.
From the Courier-Herald, Saginaw, Mich.
That we know not what a day may bring
forth is an old adage and a true one. To-day
our skies are bright and sunny; we have
health, strength and activity. We reckon
confidently on the future and lay our plans
accordingly, but when that to-inorrow conies
we may lx- stricken suddenly down by the
hand of disease, mid lie on a bed of Buttering
and sorrow.
Every day we see illustrations of this fact
among the friends in our own circle. To-day
they are well and strong and are pursuing
their daily labors; to-morrow the afflicting
hand of disease or death has brought them
down to helpless illness or the grave. Among
the many ills that afflict humanity, and one
that baffles the highest medical skill of the
present day, none is more feared and none
leaves the victim more helpless or hopeless
of ultimate relief than that known as
paralysis.
Sometimes it creeps gradually over the
victim, perceptibly closing its ever tighten
ing coils from day to day and again it eomes
like a lightning flash, and the once strong
man or woman is more helpless than achild.
Such was the case with Mrs. Huth Wolcott,
the wife of Rev. H. B. Wolcott, an esteemed
minister of the gospel, living on their hand
some farm a few miles from the thriving
little town of Blanchard, Isabella County,
Michigan.
While attending to her daily duties the
hand of that dread disease, paralysis, was
laid heavily upon her, and when she was
alone at her fireside.
In conversation with a Courier-Herald
representative, who hail heard of her severe
case and cure, she spoke as follows: “ The
stroke came on one day shortly after dinner.
The men had just gone out on the farm to
work in the fields, and I was ironing. All
at once I felt a flash over my brain like an
electricshock and something that seemed
like a bead of perspiration seemed to run
down my left lower limb into my shoe. I sat
down for a moment and then, feeling better,
resumed my ironing. Again, in a few min
utes, there came another flash over my head,
and again there was the peculiar sensation
of something running down my side. Then
I knew that something serious was about to
happen anil I made haste to reach a bed,
where I fell, under theinfluence of paralysis.
After I had laid there for a few minutes my
husband came in and, not seeing me where
I had been working, he looked for me and
found me lying helpless.
“ My speech was not affected, and I told
nfm what was the matter. A doctor was at
once sent for to the village of Blanchard a
few miles away, and he came out to the
farm in about three hours, but he could not
afford me any relief. This was three years
ago—in April, 1892—that I suffered from
this stroke of paralysis. It affected my left
side and rendered me helpless. For a year
following this I had skilled medical attend
ance, using among other things an electric
battery, but it all did me no good.
“ At this time I read in a paper about Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills, and they were also
recommended to me by some of my friends,
who had heard of the many cures t hat they
had effected in cases like mine. After I had
been taking them for about two weeks I be
gan to feel better and have continued to
steadily improve. The paralysis was so bad
that I could not walk around the house, but
had to lx l lifted about. My left arm was also
entirely helpless. lam now able to walk
around and get out to call on my friends and
neighbors, and am so well that I can get
around very well. I used twenty boxes of
Pink Pills.’’

Inquiry at the two drug stores in the vil

From-the Republican, Harbor Springs, Mich.
One of the leading citizens of Northern
Michigan is Mr. George W. Childs, who ha*
made nimself famous as a suecessful hotel
manager at the popular summer resort, Bay
View. When Mr. Childs first arrived at
Bay View, some years ago, the resort busi
ness of Northern Michigan was still in its
infancy. With the little money he had he
purchased tfie Bay View House, but running
a hotel in this part of the country at thul
time was rather up-hill business, and he had
to work night and day to make both, ends
meet.
“ When I came to Buy View I wax n
strong, robust man, but close confinement ti
my duties as manager of the hotel and
the amount of hard labor I was compelled to
do, soon told on me and I was taken to my
bed.
“ I immediately began doctoring but Ibe
physicians consulted did me no good, and I
paid out many hard-earned dollars in doctor
bills.
“My nervous system was completely
played out, I suffered severe pains in the
head and had no appetite. Finally I told
my wife that I had determined to sell out
and leave the country, thinking that a
change of climate might he beneficial. But
in the midst of my sufferings, like the sun
shine that breaks through a dark cloud,*
messenger came from heaven, so to sjieak.
While I was perusing my moming paper I
chanced to glanee at tin article speaking of
Dr. Williams’Pink Pills tor Pale People.
I saw that they were said to cure exactly
what seemed to ail me—shattered nerves
and sick headaches.
“ I told my wife about my discovery but
she said it would only be another useless ex
penditure. 1, however, thought ‘nothing
ventured, nothing gained,’and determined
to have a box, as they cost only 60 cents.
Uy the time 1 had taken half the box I felt
much relieved, and then I knew that I had
struck a remedy much belter than a physic
ian and certainly n good deal cheaper.
“ After 1 had used the whole Ihix I was
able to leave my bed. I persevered in tak
ing them and when the fourth box was gone :
I was as you see me now —a perfectly well
man. To Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills I owe
my life and I wish 1 could sinjj their praises
throughout the land that all might know the
life-giving power of these little pellets. Cer
tainly suffering humanity has had no better
friend than Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.”
