Tired Nervous Women
Make Unhappy Homjs
MRS.NELUE MAKHAM
A nervous irritable woman, often on
the verge of hysterics, is a source of
misery to everyone who comes under
her influence, and unhappy and mis
erable herself.
Such* women not only drive hus
bands from home bat are wholly unfit
to govern children.
The ills of women act like a fire
brand upon the nerves, consequently
■even-tenths of the nervous prostra
tion, nervous despondency, the
“blues”., sleeplessness, and nervous
Irritability of women arise from some
organic derangement.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness alternating with ex
treme irritability ? Do you suffer
from pains in the abdominal region,
backache, bearing-down palns.nervous
dyspepsia, sleeplessness, and almost
■ontinually cross and snappy? If so,
Jour nerves are in a shattered con
ition and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing
In the world is better for nervous
troubles of women than Lydia E.
Pihkham's Vegetable Compound,
made from native roots and herbs.

FIT THE GROCER
Wife Made the Suggestion.
A grocer has excellent opportunity
to know the effects of special foods
on his customers. A Cleveland
grocer has a long list of customers
that have been helped in health by
leaving off coffee and using Postum
Pood Coffee.
He says, regarding his own ex
perience: “Two years ago I had bee*
drinking coffee and must 6ay that I
was almost wrecked in my nerves.
“Particularly in the morning I was
so Irritable and upset that I could
hardly wait until the coffee was
served*. and then I had no appetit*
for breakfast and did not feel Ilk*
attending to my store duties.
“One day my wife suggested that
inasmuch as I was selling so much
Postura there must be some merit in
it and suggested that we try it. I
took home a package and she pre
pared it according to directions. The
result was a very happy one. My
nervousness gradually disappeared
and to-day I am all right. I would
advise everyone affected in any way
with nervousness or stomach trou
bles, to leave off coffee and use Pos

WELL TRIATED
Belgian Representative at Wash
ington Makes Investigation.
VISITS SOUTH CAROLINA
Peports of Dissatisfaction Anting Newly
Arrived immigrants Exaggerated,
Says Baron Mcncneur.
Baron Moncheur, the Belgian min
ister, who has just returned to Wash
ington from a visit to bouth Caro
lina, where he went to investigate
the condition of the Belgians who
came over on the Wittekind, finds
the south a good place for his peo
ple.
He finds, after ten days of investi
gation, that the reports of dissatis
faction have been exaggerated, and
that the Belgian immigrants are very
well satisfied and have no complaint
to make. The baron commented on
the lower wage scale in the south as
being the only possible ground for
dissatisfaction. His investigations
did not cover the cheap cost of living
in the south, and he was not prepared
to say that lower prices of com
modities balanced lower wages.
In the party brought over by Com
missioner E. J. Watson, of South
Carolina, last winter there were about
300 Belgians, who are now employed
in the cotton mills, and in various
trades fn South Carolina. Since then
South Carolina and other southern
states have sought to induce new im
migrants, and particularly Belgians, to
come in.
Speaking of these Belgians in South
Carolina, Baron Moncheur said: “I
saw all of them except a few who
are scattered, and they had very lit
tle complaint to make of the treat
ment which they are receiving. Of
course, there are a few who are not
satisfied, but they are very few. I
visited them at their work in the cot
ton mills, and they told me that they
were pleased with their labors and
the treatment given them.
“I have no criticism to make of
the work they are doing in the mills.
It is not hard work at all, and they
make very fair wages. It is the kind
of work which would suit a large
number of our people, especially those
having families. A boy or a girl 12
to 14 years of age and upward can
easily make 50 cents a day and more
in the mills.
“Of course, the masons and car
penters earn better wages. Those
who come over and follow these
trades, are experienced men, and
good, steady workmen. They find
plenty of work to do, and are paid
well, as I have found.
‘‘lt would be a great deal better if
there were a good sized colony in
the state, such as there is near Roch
ester, N. Y. Our people there are
getting along nicely, and are satis
fied, and it is particularly because
a number of them are together.”
Concerning those who left South
Carolina dissatisfied, Baron Moncheur
said that the number was not very
large. ‘‘Those who left would proba
bly not have been satisfied under any
circumstances,” he said. ‘‘The propor
tion that has left South Carolina dis
satisfied is not any greater than that
which has left other states. We have
had some complaints from the immi
grants who went there, but not many.
On the whole, they have gone to work
there aud are contented.”
Several reports have been circulat
ed since the Baron returned to Wash
ington to the effect that he was ad
vising, or had advised his people
against going to the south on account
of the negro. Baron Moncheur said
that this was entirely erroneous. “I
see no reason why the negro should
deter anybody. My observation is
the white people and the negro in
the south do not associate, either so
cially or at work. They do not work
together in the cotton mills or in any
other industry. The one way in which
the negro is at all to be considered
in this connection is that the ne
groes in the cotton fields and else
where on the farm can work for
cheaper wages than our people, and
hence our people could scarcely ex
pect to compete with these laborers
on the farm. Otherwise, the negro
has nothing to do with the case, and
if you hear that I have advised any
of our people not to go south, you may
say for me that it is simply not sa
I have never advised anything of the
kind anywhere.”

BLAST DISASTER.
Premature Explosion Buns i reight Tram
Into a Cr-ex, ixilis several Work
men and Wrecks Buildings.
A Chattanooga special say 3: Three
men killed outright, three others so
seriously injured that they will die,
and two others badly injured in ad
dition to the crashing of a Southern
railway freignt engine and eleven cars
through a bridge into Chattanooga
creek and the destruction of three
residences and a pile driver nearby,
was the result of a premature explo
sion at 3:40 o’clock Thursday aiter
noon of a blast at the foot of Look
out mountain on the Stevenson exten
siu which is being constructed by W.
J. Oliver & Cos.
The bridge was crushed in by sev
eral tons of rock hurled by the blast
just as the Southern railway freight
train No. 11 was going on the bridge.
Other pieces of rock hurled for four
hundred yards crashed through the
pilot of the pile driver of the Nash
ville, Chattanooga and St. Louis rail
road, which was at work driving piles
in Chattanooga creek for anew via
duct, killing Engineer Shaefer and
Fireman Hyder instantly.
Other pieces of rock hurled five
and six hundred yards struck the res
idences on the side of Lookout moun
tain, crashing through the roof and
floors of the buildings.
Several men who were working on
the new line some distance from the
blast, were struck by flying pieces of
rock. Two of them are at the hospital
in a serious condition.
The blast was set off by J. Ford,
a powder man for the Yarnell Broth
ers, contractors for Oliver, against the
instructions of the contractors. He
had only been employed by the com
pany for a short time. At a late hour
he could not be located. The blast was
one of the heaviest ever used oy work
in this section of the country. No
warning was given to the residents
in the vicinity or to the Nashville,
Chattanooga and St. Louis railroad,
whose property was destroyed.
ON BRIBERY CHARGE
Mayor and Street Railway Officials in
’Frisco are Indicted—Result of
Abe Ruef’s Confession.
A San Francisco special says: Abra
ham Ruef Thursday made good his
declaratioh of Wednesday that he
would, following his change of plea
of guilty in the extortion case against
him, turn state’s evidence and assist
the bribery graft prosecution in its
campaign against municipal corrup
tion.
Ruef, obeying a subpena from the
grand jury, served upon him at the
Fillmore street prison house shortly
before 3 o’clock, went in the charge
of Special Agent Burns, Elisor Biggy
and another guard to the grand jury
chamber, where he took the witness
stand and submitted to an examina
tion that lasted from 3:20 o’clock- un
til after 5 p. m.
When the ordeal was over he called
the newspaper men around him and
said that he had promised the grand
jury to divulge nothing. District At
torney Langdon and Assistant District
Attorney Heney refused to make auy
statement whatever. From Special
Agent Burns it was learned that the
only matter in which Ruef was ques
tioned was the alleged bribing of
Mayor Schmitz and eighteen super
visors by the United railroads to
grant to that corporation a change in
its franchise allowing the electrifying
of its 250 miles of street railway
system.
If Burns’ understanding of Ruef’s
testimony is correct the fallen boss
told the grand jury that President
Patrick Calhoun, Assistant President
Mullaly, Chief Counsel Ford and As
sistant Counsel Abbott of the United
Railroads, paid or caused to be paid
the sum of $200,000 for the provision
named; that $61,000 of this amount
was Ruef’s ‘‘fee;” that $50,000 went
in*to the pocket of Mayor Schmitz and
that the remaining $60,000 was hand
ed to the eighteen supervisors, six
teen of them receiving $4,000 each,
another demanding and getting $lO,-
000 and Chairman Galagher of the
finance committee, being paid $15,000
for acting as go-between.
BOTH SIDES REMAINING FIRM.
Strike of Longshoremen at New York
Being B.tteriy Contested.
Both the representatives of the
trans-Atlantic steamship companies
and the striking longshoremen at
New York maintain a firm position in
their respective stands.
The steamship men declare that
they are moving ships and such
freight as may be speedily handled
with the aid of non-union men.
Women Who Wear Well.
It is astonishing how great a change a
few years of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, tho charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only a dim shadow, a faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of its freshness and the form of it
fairness.

First Thought in Danger.
“Talking of the foolish things one
thinks about when in the midst of
danger,” remarked one of a group the
other night, “I had promised my wife
never to travel at night, and it is
something I have always avoided, but
necessity compelled it a few weeks
ago, and as luck would have it there
was an accident and the cars were
derailed.
“As the one in which I had my
berth was rolling down an embank
ment and I was in the midst of blan
kets, pillows, grips, etc., the terrible
thought flashed across my mind:

traveling at night!’”—Columbus Dis
