Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound is Especially Successful in
Curing this Fatal Woman’s Disease.
Of all the diseases known with which the female organism is afflicted, kidney
disease is the most fatal. In fact, unless eariy and correct treatment is ap
plied, the weary patient seldom survives.
Being fully aware of this, Mrs. Pinkham, early in her career, gave ex
haustive study to the subject, and in producing her great remedy for woman’s
Ills Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound was careful to see that it
contained the correct combination of herbs which was sure to control that
fatal disease, woman’s kidney troubles. The Vegetable Compound acts in har
mony with the laws that govern the entire female system, and while there
are many so called remedies for kidney troubles, Lydia E. Pinkliam's Vege
table Compound is the only one especially prepared for women.
The following letters will show how marvellously successful it is :

" Dear Mrs. Pinkham : I am fail

lost thirty-five or forty pounds. I
have a yellow, muddy complexion,
feel tired, and have bearing down
pains. Menses have not appeared for
three months; sometimes l am trou
bled with a white discharge, and I also
have kidney and bladder trouble. . .
I have been this way for a long time,
and feel so miserable I thought I
would write to you, and sec if you
could do me any good.” —Miss Edina

“Dear Mna. Pinkham: I have

Compound according to directions,

It Is a common error for inexperienced

contrary, it is almost exactly the op

misconception by women accounts
frequently for their inability to swim

their legs straight up aud down after

THE STATE ELECTION
Georgia Democrats Carry the Day
Without Any Great Effort.
CONTEST AN UNUSUALLY QUIET ONE
Majority Is In llie Neighborhood of 00,-
000 —Little Attention I’niil to Con
stitutional Amendment.
Georgia’s state election Wednesday
passed off quietly, notwithstanding
here and there a bitter contest for
county control was envolved.
Returns show that the state is Dem
ocratic by a majority exceeding 00,000.
The incomplete estimate Thursday
morning of the votes cast in the state
election was accurate enough for the
conclusion that the Populist nominee
for governor did not receive more than
half the votes cast for his predecessor
in defeat two years ago.
lii 1898 Hogan’s total rau up to 50,-
000. Estimate of the most conserva
tive character places the number of
votes received by Traylor in Tuesday’s
contest at less than 25,000. In the
county of his life-long residence,
Troup, where he was admired by all
alike for his worth as a man, the Pop
ulist nominee was literally buried nu
der tho weight of Democratic ballots.
Such a majority as that which ushers
Governor Allen I). Candler in upon
his second administration was unex
pected, not only by that official him
self, but by the state committee. The
election was looked on in every section
of the state as one in which the Dem
ocracy had no opposition, but from all
indications the force of habit carried
enough Democrats to the polls to work
a 60,000 majority result.
One of the most significant returns
sent in by any counly xvas that from
Irwin, where a majority of 3,000 votes
was recorded for Governor Candler
and the state ticket. Bibb, with a
population entitling her to three mem
bers in the legislature, comes to thg
front with a majority of 900, while
Irwin, with a scant population that
barely gives her one member of the
house, is credited with a majority of
3,000.
The general falling off from the
Populist fold is fairly shown in Clinch,
■where 50 per cent of the meu who
voted for Hogan two years ago are
reported to have gone over to the sup
port of the Democratic ticket.
The early indications were that the
counties of Haralson, Glascock, Frauk
liu, Forsyth,Chattahoochee, McDuffie,
Oconee and Lincoln had gone Popu
list or partly so. In these communi
ties as well as iu scores of others, the
real battle for party supremacy was
fought and for every oue carried by
the Populists where the issue was iu
doubt, the Democrats captured two.
Perhaps the bitterest campaign in
tbe state closed with the election in
Floyd. A hard and dete mined fight
was made by independents backed by
Populists agaiust the Democratic
nominees for tax collector, sheriff and
member of the legislature.
In Fulton the majority of 4,000 votes
for tho ticket is explained to some ex
tent by the independent opposition en
countered by oue nominee on the
Democratic ticket. The experiment of
independent opposition was probably
given sufficient test to prevent its repe
tition in the immediate future.
Remarkably little interest was taken
by the voters in the constitutional
amendment placed before them. Iu a
large number of precincts the amend
ment was almost entirely neglected in
spite of the fact that in one light its
success means aid to the widows of
confederate soldiers, and in another
light it proposes to add. something like
a quarter of a million dollars to the
annual pension appropriation of the
state. Very few votes were cast agaiust
the amendment iu any of the comities.

INTOLERANCE CONDEMNED.
Teller County,Colorado, Democrats, Adopt
Strong Resolutions.
The Teller county, Colo., Demo
cratic convention, and the Democratic
club of Victor adopted the following
resolutions unanimously:
“Whereas, Governor Roosevelt and
pnrty were not received in Victor with
the tolerance and courtesy due to the
governor of a sister state, therefore,
“Resolved, That we, the Democrats
of Victor, in convention assembled,
condemn the spirit of intolerance and
discourtesy exhibited on that occasion,
and disavow all responsibility for tho
disturbances.”
MINERS ARE GAINING
Offer of Advance In Wages Seems
To Have Opposite Effect.
MANY MORE COLLIERIES ARE CLOSED
President Mitchell Denies Rumor That
Negotiations For Settlement Are
Under Way.
A special of Wednesday from Hazle
ton, Pa., says: Although most of the
big companies have offered mine work
ers 10 per cent net increase in wages,
not a move has yet been made by any
of the strikers toward a resumption of
work. The way tho men have thus
far stood together without showing
any weakness in any part of the ranks
is considered remarkable. It is claimed
by some that as the strikers’ funds
grow smaller their hope will become
fainter and they will then accept the
10 per cent offered by tbe companies.
President Mitchell was informed of
the wide circulation of a story to the
effect that he had reached an agree
ment with the pres'dents of the coal
mining and coal carrying railroads,
and after verbally denying the report
he issued a formal denial, which said:
“We have inst been informed that
the report has been circulated at Ash
land to the efl’ect that in a conference
at New' York this morniug between
ho coal presidents and myself an
agreement was reached which will end
the strike.
“I desire to notify all mine workers
that the report is incorrect, and that I
have not been in conference with the
presidents of the coal companies, and
have made no agreement with them. I
wish to reiterate w'bat I said several
days ago, that there would be no set
tlement of the strike until a conven
tion of the anthracite miners is held.
You are further requested to pay no
attention to the statements of this
kind, aud to continue the strike until
such concessions are made by the op
erators as w-ill justify us in calling a
general convention, when you will be
regularly notified of ‘.he date and place
at which the convention will be held.”
The induction in the above address
to the miners to continue on strike un
til such concessions are made by the
operators as will justify him in calling
a general convention, is regarded as
rather significant aud as an indication
that the struggle will not be a short
one, if the vusfc number of idle men
can be kept under control by their
leaders.
One hundred strikers marched from
Milnesville to Lattimer and about
twenty-five tramped to Cranberry from
Crystal Ridge for the purpose of in
ducing mine workers at these places to
quit, but they met with little success.
The question of relief is now receiving
serious consideration by the United
Mine Workers’ officials.
A secret conference was held Wed
nesday night by the officials of the
United Mine Workers. At its conclu
sion President Mitchell said the meet
ing was held for the purpose of can
vassing the entire situation. It was
found, he said, that only about 5,000
mine workers out of 142,000 were still
at work.
AMERICANS NOT IN IT.
United States Troops Are Withdrawn
From Expedition Arranged In China.
Advices from Tien T.-in state that
the American forces will not partici
pate in the Shan Hai Kuan expedition.
The order sending a detachment of
United States marines with the allied
forces has been revoked. The allies
do not expect any opposition, as they
have been advised that the authorities
at Shan Hai Kuan have been instruct
ed to capitulate.
General Chaffee and the commander
of the Russian troops have formally
notified Field Marshal Count von Wal
dersee of the withdrawal of the Amer
ican and Russian troops respectively.
The United States marines will pro
ceed to Cavite.
The movement of Indian troops will
begin in ten days. The British and
Germans continue sending troops to
Fekin.
There aro renewed preparations for
an expedition in force against Pao Ting
Fu. The troops will probably leave
in a fortnight and columns from Pekin
will co-operate with the expedition.
Resistance is expected, as the boxers
are there in large numbers.
00M PAUL IS WARNED.
Restrictions Placed Around Transvaal
President Have Been Increased.
A dispatch to the New York Journal

increasing and he is virtually a priso
ner.
While driving Tuesday he met a
party of burghers and made them a
patriotic speech. The governor has
uow refused the use of his oarriage.
Kruger has been warned to make no
more speeches and is forbidden to
