Committees on Agriculture--Mem
bers Call Upon the President.
The special committee of the
tional Good Roads Association
sumed its session at
Thursday. Mr. Jefferson Meyers,
ident of the Lewis and Clarke
tion, of Oregon, presented a
endorsing that project, which was
and adopted. The chairman
Messrs. Stewart, of West Virginia;
Tiiiebrew, of Tennessee, and
of Minnesota, a special committee
prepare a brief for submission to
house and senate committee on
culture. An invitation was
to the National Good Roads
tion to hold its annual meeting
Portland, Oregon, in 1905, which
laid over to be presented at the
tional meeting in St Louis this year.
The special committee appointed
earlier in the week to arrange a
to the white house, reported that they
had called upon the president, and he
had informed them that he would be
glad to receive the representatives of
the Good Roads Association. It was
agreed that all present would call in
a body on the president.
The meeting then adojurned and
proceeded to the capitol, where they
were given a hearing before the sen
ate committee on agriculture. Chair
man Harper opened the discussion and
stated to the committee that he and
his colleagues appeared before them at
this time by the direction of the Na
tional Good Roads Association, to pre
sent the resolutions unanimously
adopted by the association at its last
meeting He explained that neither
the committee nor the association as
a whole, had any desire to promote or
advocate either the Brownlow, Lati
mer, Gallinger or any other particular
bill now pending before congress, but
that their purpose was to impress
upon the minds of the committee the
growing demand for national aid for
good roads as a general proposition.
He said they were all in favor of any
bill that congress might enact which
■would afford to the toiling farmers of
this country some relief from the enor
mous burdens of “mud tax” which they
are now daily paying.

Japan Naval Programme.
A notable naval event which slipped
by v/ithout notice was the launching
in Japan on Nov. 1 of the 3,000-ton
cruiser Ottawa. Her completion will
signalize the fulfilment of Japan’s
scheme of naval construction devised
at the end of the Chinese war, which
has raised the island empire into one
of the great naval powers of the world.
Most of the fleet was built in Eng
land, but Germany and the United
States contributed certain ships, and
Japan herself has built some. Hence
forth, Japan will probably be able to
handle all of her own naval construc
tion.

MAYOR IS RELEASED.
Flimsy Veidict cf Chicigo Coroners
Jury Quashed in Court and Carter
Harrison Released.
At Chicago Thursday afternoon,
Mayor Carter Harrison was ordered by
| Judge Richard W. Tuthill to be im
mediately discharged from custody
; without any responsibility for the ,
wholesale loss of life in the Iroquois
theatre fire.
The judge declared that the mayor
was in no way whatever guilty or lia
j ble, and that the coroner's jury in or
j j dering Mayor Harrison held to the
grand j ury had put an unjust stigma
upon the mayor, who had failed in
no particular whatever eithor in omis
j . S j on or commission,
The hearing before Judge Tuthill
| v/as on a writ of habeas corpus sued j
out by Mayor Harrison’s attorneys.
Following his release, Mayor Har
rison made the following statement to
the Associated Press:
j “The only possible feature which the
I jury was able to find connecting me
with the Iroquois fire disaster was the
a n e ged negligence and incompetence
; of my appointees, Fire Chief Musham
and Building Inspector Williams, I
i want to call attention to the fact that
! Chief Musham has been connected
j with the Chicago beginning fire department for
forty years, at the bottom
of the ladder and winning his way to
the position of assistant chief by gal
lant and heroic conduct of a lifetime,
Upon the retirement of Chief Swenie,
i appointed Musham chief. The ap
pointment was strictly On merit and
met with unanimous approval. When
the position of building commissioner
j became vacant last summer, I invited
the builders’ club, an association of ar
chitects, ?pd various other non-parti
san professional organizations, to
nominate the best available man for
the vacancy. They named in nomina
«on Mr. Williams, a republican, and
gave me the strongest testimonials of
his character and efficiency. I ap
pointed him, and he entered most ear
nestly upon his duties. Both of these
men were considered ideal appoint
naems. f •»
TO REPEAL TWO AMENDMENTS.
Congressman Hardwick, of Georgia, Be

a Washington special says: Con
i
gresman Hardwick, of Georgia, made
j ... ^ ls ___. mai( ,______, i en s P ee ch in . tne house Thu.s
' day afternoon' and incidentally be
came involved in a discussion with
General Grosvenor, the veteran repub
lican leader, of Ohio. Taking advan
tage of the latitude permitted when an
appropriation bill is under considera
tion, Mr Hardwick addressed the
house upon the proposition to repeal
the fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments to the constitution, which fig
ured prominently as an issue in his
own canvass for congress.
General Grosvenor interrupted to
j ca il Mr. Hardwick’s attention to a
statement he made regarding the word
“white” in the Ohio constitution. Gen
eral Grosvenor pointed out that the
word “white” was in the constitution
of his state in 1867 fixing the qualifica
tion of a voter, having been placed
there in 1851. In 1867 a constitutional
amendment was submitted to the peo
ple of Ohio to strike out the word
"white” from the convention. The
proposition was defeated and General
Grosvenor intimated that the demo
crats were responsible for it.
Mr. Hardwick readily admitted the
charge and fuurther called General
Grosvenor’s attention to the fact that
the Ohio legislature attempted to re
jec the fifteenth amendment and with
drew its assent to the fourteenth
amentment.
“That was democratic politics, >*• re
torted General Grosvenor.
“Yes,” said Mr. Hardwick, “I knew
you would say that. I think it was
very good politics. tt
In apologizing for interrupting Mr.
Hardwick, General Grosvenor said of
his speech: (l I think it is the best
presentation of a bad cause that I
have ever heard.”

Britain, France and Germany
to emancipate their textile in

throughout Europe, he says, there is a
growing feeling of resentment against
this dependence, and a determination

Wireless trolley a Success.
The “wireless” trolley system fn
rented by Leon W. Pullen, of Philadel
Phia, was successfully tested over a
mile of steam railroad tracks. The
invention does away vrith the third
rail through the use of a magnet. The
equipment, which is easily adjusted.
consists mainly of a highly magnetized
bar running the entire length of the
car. The feed wire is buried in the
ground. At intervals of eighteen feet
a metal cap four inches in diameter
comes to the surface. This cap is
harmless and has no connection with
the feed wire. It only becomes charged
when touched by the metal bar under
the car.—Chicago Record-Herald.

*b Miss Rose Hennessy, well known as^
a poetess and elocutionist, of Lexington,
Ky., tells how she was cured of uterine
inflammation and ovaritis by the use of
Lydia E. Pmkharrfls Vegetable Compound.
U Dear Mrs. Pinkham : — I have been so blessedly helped through the use
of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound that I feel it but just to
acknowledge it, hoping that it may help some other woman suffering as I did.
k . For years I enjoyed the best of health and thought that I would always
do eo. I attended parties and receptions thinly clad, and would be suddenly
chilled, but I did not think of the results. I caught a bad cold eighteen
months ago while menstruating, and this caused inflammation of the womb
and congested ovaries. I suffered excruciating pains and kept getting worse.
My attention was called to your Vegetable Compound and the wonderful
cures it had performed, and I made up my mind to try it for two months and
see what it would do for me. Within one month I felt much better, and
at the close of the second I was entirely well.
“ I have advised a number of my lady friends to use it, and all express
themselves as well satisfied with the results as I was.” — Miss Rose Nora
Hennessy, 410 S. Broadway, Lexington. Ily.
The experience and testimony of some of the most noted
women of America go to prove beyond a question that Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound will correct all such trouble and
at normal once, by removing the cause, and restoring the organs to a
and healthy condition.
u Dear Mrs. Pinkham : About two years ago I consulted a phy
—
sician about my health which had beeome so wretched that I was no
longer able to be about. 1 bad severe backache, bearing-down pains,
pains across the abdomen, was very nervous and irritable, for and this
trouble grew worse each month. The physician prescribed me, but
I soon discovered that ho was unable to help me, and I then decided to
try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and soon found that
it was doing me good. My appetite was returning, the pains disappear
ing, and the general benefits were well marked.
U You cannot realize how pleased I was, and after taking the medi
cine for only three months, I found that I was completely cured of my
trouble, and have been well and hearty ever since, and no more fear the
monthly period, as it now passes without pain to me. Yours very truly,
Miss Pearl. Ackers, 327 North Summer St., Nashville, Tcnrn”
When a medicine has been successful in restoring to health
more than a million women, you cannot well say without trying it
“I do not believe it will help me.” If you are ill, do not hesitate
to get a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and
write Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass., for special advice. Her ad
vice is free and helpful. Write to-day. Delay may be fatal.
