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 : Aug. fi, 1899. " Dear Mrs. Pinkham : I am fail ing very fast, —since January have 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 Frederick, Troy, Ohio. Sept. 10, 1890. “Dear Mna. Pinkham: I have used Lydia E. Pinlthatn’s Vegetable Compound according to directions, and can say I have not felt so well for years as I do at present. Before taking your medicine a more miser able person you never saw. I could not eat or sleep, end did not care to talk with any one. I did not enjoy life at all. Now, I feel so well I can not be grateful enough for what you have done for me. You are surely a woman's friend. Thanking you a thousand times, I remain, Ever yours Miss Edna Frederick, Troy, Ohio. “Dear Mrs. Pinkiiam: I have taken five bottles of Lydia E. Pink ham’s Vegetable Compound and cannot praise it enough. I had headaches. F 5 REWARD. — We have derytited with the National City Hank of Lynn.

When one wants to swim with the bnek up, It Is necessary to make some effort to keep the head up, for most of Its bulk must then be above the sur face In order to breathe. If Is the which do this part of the work, not the legs, as is so often believed. It Is a common error for inexperienced swimmers to suppose that all of their progress is due to the efforts of the arms, aud that the feet are used sim ply to support the weight. On the contrary, it is almost exactly the op posite way, and the prevalence of this misconception by women accounts frequently for their inability to swim rapidly. Many of them simply flop their legs straight up aud down after they have learned to support them selves in the water, nad then wonder that their arms become so tired and that they make so little progress as compared with their masculine friends.—J.

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. BRITISH ROVING OX TAKU. Two Armored Cruiser* Sail For Chinese Town at Short Notice. A cable dispatch from Wei Hai Wei, province of Shan Tung, Monday,Octo ber 1, says: “The British first-class cruiser Terrible and the British sec ond-class cruiser Aretbusa, with the transports having ou board the Third brigade of British Indian troops,start ed for Taku today at short notice.” 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.
