PERIODS OF PAIN.
How Time
While no woman is entirely free from periodical suffering, it does not seem
to have been the plan of nature that woman should suffer so severely. Lydia
E. I’inkliam’s Vegetable Compound is the most thorough female regu
lator known to medical science. It relieves the condition which produces so
■inch discomfort and robs menstruation of its terrors.
The three letters here published should encourage every woman who suffers :
A up. 0, 1808.
“Dear Mrs Pin’kham: I have
Buffered since the ape of sixteen with
painful menstruation. I have been
treated for months, and was told that
the womb had fallen a little. The
doctor says that is now in place again,
but I still have the same pain. Please
tell me what to do."— Mrs. Emma
Kukri,, 112 Trautman St., Brooklyn,
E D., N.Y.
Jan. 10, 1899.
‘‘Dear Mrs. Pixkiiam : After re

If there is anything about your ease about which you would like special
advice, write freely to Mrs. Pinkham. No man will see your letter. She can
surely help you, for no person in America has such a wide experience in treat

You are very foolish if you do not accept her kind invitation.

THE WEEKLY NEWS, GARTERSYILLE, GA.
A NEW TRANSPORT WACOM.
Can Carry Ration* for Forty Man on Cut*
post Duty or Serve With a Battery.
I The old Idea of taking few measure!
! for the comfort of the troops In th
field, because they are usually com
pelled by the force of circumstances tc
do without any comforts, was explode*
long ago and to-day every good office*
tries to bring his men to the field
of battle In as fresh a condition aa
possible.
One of the most arduous dutlef
(other than actual fighting on the fir
ing line) is outpost duty, and any
means that will lighten this service In
the field will be welcomed by the army.
Wagon transportation will not always
be available far to the front, and yet
the South African campaign has shown
that even at the outposts it can ofteD
come Into play, and would be of ines
timable value in sparing the men un
necessary labor.
Anew military transport and shelteT
wagon Is the direct outcome of the late
experience in the Transvaal. It was
designed by a volunteer artillery colo
nel of Sheffield, England. The wagon
is built of wood and Is mounted on
springs and four wheels. The tiros
are eight Inches wide, to facilitate
travel over soft ground, and the rear
wheels are on a broader gauge than
those in front. It is arranged for horse
or traction engine draft.
The top of the wagon box is sur
rounded by stout wire netting, inside
of which Is the platform. Under the
platform floor is a water cistern of 40
gallons capacity. One each side of the
wagon are hinged doors, closing re
cesses in which a canvas shelter is
kept rolled up. This canvas can be
run out In a very few minutes, and
when held up by the wagon at one
end and by posts planted out at the
side of the wagon at the other, will
form a rectangular tent for fifty men.
Seats are also provided at the sides of
the wagon in the form of hanging
steps, so that the men can be carried
on them when necessary. When not
in use these seats can be folded up out
of the way. Rifle or carbine racks are
also part of the equipment. The
wagon can carry four tons of stores
and would thus provide a detachment
of forty men with rations for 100 days!
It is designed either for the supply ol
a detachment on outpost duty or as
part of the equipment of a field bat
tery, and with its tent shelter, will
prove far more valuable, under cir
cumstances where horse or traction
engine draft is available at all, than
the transport wagons now in use.—

STEAMER GOES DOWN
City of Paducah Strike a Snag
In Mississippi River.
ONLY SEVEN ON BOARD ESCAPE
At Least Twenty-five of the Crew, the
Majority of Whom Were Negro
Roustabouts, Went Down
to Watery Graves.
A special from Carbondale, 111.,
says: The steamer City of Fadueah
was sunk near Brunkhorst landing,
about four miles north of Grand Tow
er, at 12 o’clock Sunday night. Be
tween twenty-five and fifty people
were drowned, only seven escaping
with their lives.
The City of Paducah left St. Louis
Sunday morning on a downward trip
and stopped at most of the landings
and loaded freight. Between 11 and
12 o’clock Miss Fannie Block, who, in
company with her parents, Rev. and
Mrs. Block, was going from St. Louis
to Evansville, Ind., was aroused from
sleep by a sudden jar. She asked her
mother if her berth had broken down,
and no sooner had the words passed
her lips than water rushed into the
apartments and they were compelled
to act quickly to save their lives.
With four others they escaped to the
Ilinois shore by holding on to drift
wood and swimming.
The seven saved are Hebrews. Rev.
Mr. Block is a Jewish rabbi. The sev
en survivors of the catastrophe made
their way down the river bank to
Grand Tower and aroused Mrs. Baron
owsky, at the Tremont hotel, where
they were given lodging until Monday
morning. They lost all their clothes
and valuables and had nothing but
their underwear and blankets about
them. Among the drowned were
about twenty-five negro roustaboats.
Frank White, whose home Is in
Kansas City, told the following story
of the disaster:
“I got on fhe boat at Landing 7G
to go to Cairo. The boat stopped at
Lake Ditch landing and took on sev
eral sacks of corn. We landed again
at Brunkhorst, which is only a few
miles from Lake Ditch, and took on
corn. At both places about seventeen
sacks were loaded. After the corn at !
Brunkhorst had been placed on board i
the boat started down stream and just i
as she put off struck a snag, tearing a
big hole in her.
“The crew then tried to place the
stern of the boat toward the river and
while turning her around she sank.
She is about thirty feet from shore
and her cabin and pilot house are
above water. I jumped into a skiff
and made to shore.
“I don’t know how many were
aboard, but I think there were about
twenty-five drowned. Among them
were two engineers, one white woman
and about fifteen negroes.
“There was great confusion, and it
may be that more were drowned.”
The bodies of the two passengers
have been recovered. First Mate To
bias Royal, of St. Louis, says only
about twelve passengers were on
board and all were saved except two.
The body of Dr. .J. W. Bell, of Bell’s
landing, Tennessee, was taken out of
his stateroom. The remains of a young
woman, on which was a visiting card
reading: “Mrs. Mary L. Allen, St.
Louis, Mo.„ were recovered from her
stateroom. Two friends traveling
with the drowned woman, who started
back to St. Louis on the steamer City
of Clifton, said that the young lady
was engaged to marry Dr. C. A. Mere
dith, of St. Louis. Several hundred
dollars’ worth of jewelry was found
on her body.
It is supposed that most of the miss
ing deck hands, who were on the lower
deck, were washed down the river.
The boat lies down about 100 feet from
the Illinois shore, the forepart of the
hurricane deck being under water.
She appears to he a total wreck.
Threaten to Shut Down.
The New York Builders’ Association
issued a statement Monday regarding
its decision to shut down operations
on Thursday unless the blicklayers’
union call off all strikes in the mean
time.

DEAD CALM ALTER THE STORM
Smoke of Battle Clears and Quiet
Once More Reigns Within Con
fines of Wall Street.
A New York special says: Wall
street emerged from its gloom Friday
morning, and, with growing confidence
in the day, manifested something like
buoyant elation. Prices of stock went
up with a rush at the last, closing at
about the top, and with the net losses
left after Thursday’s session pretty
largely recovered.
There were some clouds remaining
on the situation and some natural tre
pidation lest the violent collapse
should have left some casualties
which w'ould not be disclosed until
the clearing house sheets of the stock
exchange had been made up. Early in
the day the official announcement was
made that the sheets of all the mem
bers of the exchange had been cleared
perfectly, and that all their checks
had been honored. This relieved the
last feeling of apprehension and
things qaited down into a steady con
dition of business such as has not
been witnessed in Wall street for
many w’eeks.
There is no doubt that among those
who were heavy losers in ’inursday’s
slump were many of ample resources
who view r ed the situation with a sport
ing instinct and a determination to re
coup losses by following the market.
It was the popular belief that some of
the western potentates who were ad
mittedly forced “to w T alk sideways”
during a portion of the day’s events
were again in the market in a bold !
attempt to retrieve their losses.
One commercial paper places the t
losses in the bucket shops throughout j
the country Thursday at $30,000,000. j
LIVELY RIOT IN DETROIT.
Police Interfere With Vendor of “Free
Speech” and Trouble Foiiows.
For more than three hours Friday
night fully 10,000 men and boys ran
riot in the main streets of Detroit
Mich., and kept a continual running
fight with the police, both mounted
and and foot The net result so far
as known is twelve citizens and five
policemen injured. The names of but
two of the citizens are known at pres
ent. They are Mike Waldin and Louis
Caplin. Both men had their heads
crushed by being trampled on by
horses ridden by the mounted police
in a charge on the crowd.
The officers injured are: James
Tourney, scalp cut by brick; Henry
Scott, hit on head with cobblestone;
Thomas Murphy, cheek cut open with
brick; George Moore, badly cut about
the head by brick and taken home in
ambulance; Barney Roonan, hit with
a brick.
The beginning of the riot was
Thursday night when Director of the
Police Frank T. Andrews, who recent
ly superseded the old police board
through the passage of the Ripper bill
by the legislature, issued an order to
the police to allow no one to stand
about the wagon of one “Tom” Raw
don, a local single tax exhorter who
had Incurred the ill will of the police
director by the extraordinary nature
of his remarks on so-called wealthy
tax dodgers.
When Rawdon began his exhorta
tions a crowd quickly gathered. Di
rector Andrews supervised the work
of the police in keeping the people
moving. ’ine crowd good naturedly
hooted at the police and no violence
was done.
Friday night, however, the temper
of the crowd changed when it was an
nounced that Director Andrews had
called on reserve officers to assist in
keeping the Campus Martins clear.
The single tax ezhorter came with his
wagon and found the campus jammed
with people. The police refused to al
lo\ him to locate at any particular
point, and he drove from one street to
another, the crowd following. The
mob frequently blocked traffic and the
police attempted to disperse them. It
was but a moment before stones be
gan to fly through the air and a gen
eral mix up followed in which the foot
police used their clubs and the mount
ed men charged. The result was the
casualties above enumerated.
At 11 o clock the mob had gradually
dwindled to a mere handful and the
city is quiet.
EXPLOSION KILLS FOUR.
Boiler of a Freight Engine Mlows Up

WALL STREET WILD
Battle of Money Kings Creates
Tremendous Stock Flurry.
FIGHT FOR NORTHERN PACIFIC
Fortunes of Many Unlucky Speculators
Were Swept Away In the Crash.
Sixty Per Cent Was Bid
for Money.
A New' York special says: Bitter
stress developed in Wall street by the
second hour of trading on the stock
exchange Thursday. The violence of
the commotion had spent much of its
force, at least for the time being, W hen
the chairman’s gavel fell announcing
the close of the day’s proceedings.
The casualties were great and the
field of battle was strewn with the
wounded and maybe with the dying.
But of actual fatalities none was re
corded of importance during the day.
During the height of the panic rumors
of insolvencies were handed about
more quickly than they could be re
ported. But no confirmations could be
had of the intimations of financial
wreck. Those against whom the ru
mors pointed refused even to show
any signs of distress and professed
themselves ready to meet all obliga
tions. In more than one instance the
answer to these rumors was for a rep
resentative of the house to go upon
the stock exchange and place loans to
a large amount, as indicating the
abundance of resources at hand.
The banks have been so well pro
tected by recent extensions of the
margins exacted in the market value
of collateral over the amount of loans
placed that they had little to fear
short of an absolute .wiping out of
market values. The shrinkage of col
lateral made it necessary for the
banks in many cases to exact addi
tional collateral during the day and
this addd much to the distress for a
time. But in the late dealings the
principal banks in the financial dis-
trict agreed to form a pool and raise a
fund to loan the money rate down to
6 per cent on the stock exchange. The
bid for money had been run up to 60
per cent and was threatening to keep
alive the panic. Tho dozen banks
quickly came to an agreement to raise
$16,000,000, with implied willingness
to increase the sum if necessary.
There were heavy loans placed also
by the individual banks, ranging in
some cases to $25,000,000 and $30,000,-
000. Through the early part of the
day hankers exacted the market rate
for loans. But with the growing need
to suppress the panic they offered the
rate down to 6 per cent.
The stock which caused the collapse
was the Northern Pacific corner, with
out dispute.
The importance attached to the
Northern Pacific episode was made
clear by the eagerness of all classes
to learn all developments concerning
it and the immediate effect of any an
nouncement regarding it upon the
stock market. The upward shoot to
SI,OOO a share was the effective cause
of the greatest demoralization in the
market. The announcement later in
the day of he measures for the re
lief of the shortage and the relapse in
the price of the stock to 300 allayed
the demoralization almost immedi
ately.
The struggle of the financial giants,
which broke the most remarkable
movement that Amarican stocks ever
had, dates back but a fortnight. E.
H. Harriman and his associates, so
they relate the stoiy in the street, dis
covered that broksrs representing J.
P. Morgan & Cos. were buying Union
Pacific. Harriman at once began in
creasing his own holdings, buying on
a market that rapidly advanced, and
when sure of control submitted a prop
osition for some basis of agreement as
to the control of the Burlington, just
acquired by the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific. That offer was re
jected.
On Monday last there began a sen
sational movement in Northern Pa
cific and the public got the first inti
mation of the battle for supremacy.
Street & Norton took all of the stock
they could get, seemingly without re
gard to price. Much of the stock sold
to them was for short account and
could not be delivered. It developed
finally that there were three largo in
terests in the property, two seeking its
management and the third a specula
tive profit.
A statistiefd reviw r of the transac
tions in the stock market Thursday
shows that at low water mark of
prices forty-one principal stocks had
shrunk the tremendous figures of
$698,388,407. This shrinkage, how
ever, is largely offset by the recovery
of the market toward the close.

REBELS MADE A FAILURE.
Revolt in Santo Domingo Was Quickly
Crushed Out.
The revolt in the province of Moca
and La Vega, in Santo Domingo, has
proved a failure. The operations of
the government troops led by Vice
President Vasquez have been success
ful and the rebel leaders have been
made prisoners. The position of the
government is strong and business is
improving.
