It is probable that much of the cot-

tave to be replanted, on account of the
lamage done by the severe weather of
he past few days.

Fr Mar bury is of tbo opinion tbat
the fruit crop is Btill safe, but fears
that .the young vegetation in many
seetihns of the state may have suffered
considerably.
“This xms is is one one of ot the tne most most continuous continuous
wind storms that I have ever known,
said Mr. Marbury. “For more than
thirty thirty-six «iv v,pupa hours the * 1 ,^ wind blew at a „
rate varying little from forty and forty-
five miles an hour. It even reached a
velocity of fifty miles an hour, but this
did not last for any length of time.”
According to the weather bureau the
temperature for the past few days has
rather encouraged frost, but the high
winds prevented it. Had there been
no wind it is more than probable that
the entire state would have been vis¬
ited by a killing frost, which would
Lave laid waste vast sectious.
SNOW STORM IN OHIO.
Saiurdny North Ohio was swept by
a furious storm of wind and snow that
prostrated telegraph aud telephone
wires in all directions. The wind
came from the north and duriug the
earlv hours of the day reached a ve-
Iocity of 55 miles aud hour.
! j
In some respect the storm was the
■worst experienced during the entire
' vmter - The heavy wet snow came
aow n in blinding sheets and the streets
in the city were covered with slush.
HEAVY LOSSES IN PITTSBURG.
Conservative estimates of the total I
damage in the Pittsburg, Pa., district j
from high water in the Monongahela
river is between §2,000,000 and §3,000,-
COO. Fifty thousand workers are suf-
fering from enforced idleness. While
there have been greater floods at this
point, there was never one that caused
so much financial loss and discomfort.
This was due to the denser population,
caused by the recent rapid growth of
the two cities, and to the, fact that all
the manufacturing plants on the river
banks were in active operation, most
of tuem working night and day, until
the rifciog water put out the tires and
.drove the workers to higher ground.

BANK OFFICIALS SUICIDE.
Defaulting President and Cashier
End Their Hiserable Exist¬
ence Together.
Charles Brown and E. E. Cauby,
president and cashier respectively of
the First National bank of Vancouver,
Washington, which was closed Satur¬
day by the comptroller of the curren-
cy, committed suicide Saturday night
two miles from the city, by shooting
themselves,with a revolver.
Their bodies were found Sunday
morning lying together in a small
clump of bushes about one-half mile
north of the Columbia school, which
is situated on tb.i outskirts of the
town.
They both used the same weapon,
and Caubv evidently died first, as the
revolver was in Brown’s hand. It is
evident that Canby put the muzzle of
the revolver iu hi3 mouth and blew
the top of his bead off. Brown then
took it and shot himself in exactly the
same way, falling over Canby’s body.
The fact that Brown’s bicycle and an
umbrella belonging to Canby were
found a short aistance out of town
led to the belief that the two bank of¬
ficials had taken their lives. Early
Sunday morning a searching party
started out and alter several hours’
hunt the bodies were found.
Friday evening, Canby, upon being
told by Bank Examiner Maxwell that
the bank would not be permitted to
open Saturday, went out iu the yard
behind the bank and attempted to
shoot himself. His revolver failed to
explode, although all five chambers
were loaded. After failing to shoot
himself Canby went back into the
bank and he and President Brown
left together, the latter taking his re¬
volver.
When Examiner Maxwell confronted
the bauk officials with the shortage of
$81,000, which he had discovered,
both men admitted their guilt. It is
admitted that Brown and Canby bad
been speculating in stocks. Beside
Brown’s body there was found a pack¬
age containing §25 and a note saying
that the money belonged to his daugh¬
ter. Upon Canby’s body the following
brief note tvas found:
“My Dear Wife—I feel w hat I am
about to do is for the best. Forgive
me if you can and try to live for our
dear children. God bless you all.
Good-bye. Ned.”
While Bank Examiner Maxwell, who
is now m chaige us receiver, has made
no official statement, it is known that
the bank has loaned a large sum of
money on insufficient eeenrity. Ac-
cording to his report to the comptroll¬
er of the currency there is a shortage
o! $81,000 in the bank’s accounts and
it is understood that a considerable
portion of this was loaned to Brown
and Cauby on their personal notes.
About a year ago the bank reduced its
capital stock from §100,000 to §50,-
000. At that time about one-half of
the so-called bad assets was “charged
off.”
RICHARDS MAKES REPLY.
Declares That Carter Ha* Made Many
False Statement* In Plea.
A Washington special says: Solici¬
tor General Richards filed in the Unit¬
ed States supreme court Saturday a
reply to the motion made by the coun¬
sel of Captain Carter, to strike from
the files of the court as “irrelevant and
scandalous” the solicitor general’s
brief in opposition to Carter’s motion
to be admitted to bail pending the de¬
cision of his appeal in his habeas cor¬
pus proceedings.
Mr. Richards denies that he went
outside the record in the case, and as¬
serts that he always tries to observe
strictly the rules of the court requir¬ I
ing counsel to confine himself to the
facts of record in the discussion of a
case. He sets forth that Carter’s ap-
plication for bail is supported by af¬
fidavits of physicians to the effect that
the prisoner’s health is impaired, and
this, Mr. Richards says, is not only
entirely outside the record, but is
false.
Mr. Richard, also say, (bat Carter’s
counsel went outside the record in the
appeal case in averring that Carter is
an innocent man and wants to be re-
leased iu order to be tried in the criin-
inal case in Georgia. He adds that to
demonstrate the falsity of this last
statement it was necessary for the so-
Heitor general to state what the gov-
ernmeut has done in proseenting the

After years of struggle to attain and merit public confidence, with a firm
and steadfast belief that some day others would recognize in us the truth,
good faith, and honesty of purpose which we know we possess, what a genu¬
ine satisfaction it is to succeed, and to realize the uplifting influence of the
merited confidence of a vast army of our fellow beings. all America,
Thus stands the Pinkham name in New England, and over
and nowhere is the faitk in Lvdia E. I’inkham’s Vegetable Compound greater
in its home. Merit, and merit alone, can gain this.
ORGANIC INFLAMMATION.
“ Dear Mrs. Pinkham: — I was
troubled very badly with, inflamma¬
tion of the bladder, was sick in bed
with it. I had two doctors, but they
did me no good. A friend gave me
Lydia E. Pinlcham’s Vegetable Com¬
pound, and it Helped me. 1 have now
taken three bottles of it, and I am
entirely cured. It is a God-send to
any woman, and I would recommend it
to any one suffering as I was. I think,
if most of the women would take
more of your medicine instead of
going to the doctors, they would be
better off. The Compound has also
cured my husband of kidney trouble.”
Mbs. Mabel Gookin,
Box 100. Mechanic Falls, Maine.
NF.RVOU3 PROSTRATION.
“ For two vearfs I suffered from
nervous prostration, had the leucorrhoea result of
female weakness.- I
very badly, and nt time of menstrua¬
tion would be obliged to go to bed.
Also suffered tvith headaches, pain
across back, and in lower part of
abdomen. I was so dis<Wriraged. I
had read of Lydia E. I’inkham’s Com¬
pound, and concluded to give it a trial.
I wrote to Mrs. Pinkham, and received
a very nice letter in return. I began
at once the use of her Vegetable Com¬
pound and Blood Purifier, and am now
feeling splendid. I have no more pain
at monthly periods, can do my own
work, and have gained ten pounds. I
would not be without your Vegetable
Compound. It is a splendid medicine.
I am very thankful for what ithas done
for me.” — Mrs. ,T. W. J., 76 Carolina
Ave., Jamaica Plain, Mass.
If Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound will cure these women — why
not you — you cannot tell until you try it. If you are ill, and really want to
get well, commence its use at once, and do not let any drug clerk absurd. persuade Ask you
that he has something of his own which is better, for that is
him to produce, the evidence we do.
