The Story
From the Tranicrtpt, Tiorla, lit.
No man Is better known and liked In that
rich tie; of Illinois counties, of which Peoria
is the centre, than genial Cheater S. Harring
ton, of Prlnceville, 111. For many years Mr.
Harrington has traveled through the country
on profitable journeys as an itinerant mer
chant, and everywhere he goes he is Riven a
hearty welcome by the people who depend
upon his visits for the aurchnse of the neces
saries, and some of the luxuries, of life.
Mr. Harrington is a veteran of the war,
and from this fact is made the remarkable
experience which he related at the Trans
cript office recently. His story, telling of
the evils of which the Civil War was but
the beginning in his own, and In thousands
of other cases, was as follows :
" I served three years in the 124th Illinois,
enlisting at Kewanee. 111. I was in Libby
Prison, and suffered, like many another North
ern soldier. Until recently I vas a member
of the Prinoeville Post,of thcG.A.Il.
"The strain of army life did its work In
nndermining my health, although the col
lapse did not come for years. For some time
I suffered from general debility and nervous
ness, so badly that I could not sleep. For
fifteen years my sleep was completely broken
up. Indigestion, resulted and my misery In
creased. My eyes began to fail, and as my
body lost vitality my mind seemed to give
way also. I could scarcely remember events
that happened but a few weeks before.
"For two years I was unfitted for busi
ness. I was Just able to creep around during
the greater part of this time, and there were
times when I could not get up at all. My
brother is a doctor, but all bis efforts to help
me failed to give me any relief.
I tried a number of remedies, without
avail. Finally, having read articles regard
ing cures that had been effected byDr.Wil
1 ams Pink Pills for Pale People, I deeided

a box nnd took the pills according to in
structions. Just four days later I had the

Editor Jeurnal: We are having
a very quiet campaign In Polk
county, yet the voters are dolntr a
great deal of thinking. The average
citizen cannot understand how It Is
that our county Is nearly $80,000 In
debt when we haye for the past two
years been to comparatively little ex
pense In bridge building or other
county improvements. The county
Is run by a purely gold standard ad
ministration, and Instead of taxation
growing less with an Increase of pop

crease. The people are slow toacti
but once they are aroused their con

At 6 o'clock yesterday, when the

a man who claimed to be a deserter
from tho battleship Maine and bald
h6 had bearded the train with a view
of giving himself up to the authori
ties. Ho gave tho name of Michael
Powers. He suld he deserted January
18, 1897.
Ills request was that ho lie taken
to San Francisco ind delivered to the
nayy. General Hale took the man'
description and telegraphed tho sec
retary of the nayy.
Powers was given permission by the
trainmen to ride until an answer was
received. He Is a man 31 years old,
and appears to give a straightfor
ward story. Ills opinion was that
small punishment would be meted out
to him, as he offered himself lo scryo
