CAPITOL WORK MAY STOP
COXTRACTOItS WILL HAND IX AX
ULTIMATUM TODAY.
DiKpete Arisen as to the Kind of
Tthskcm In Annex to TVauhlns-
ton State Building;.
OLYMPIA, Jan. IT.Governor McBrlde,
as chairman of the State Capitol Commis
sion, tomorrow will probably be presented
with a lengthy communication from the
Go99 Construction Company, which has
the contract for the construction of the.
Capitol annex, and the subject-matter of
the communication will practically amount
to an ultimatum. The Governor and com
mission will be compelled to choose be
tween three evils the granting of per
mission to the contractors to place wood
trusses in the domes of the new nulldlng,
the non-completion of the building in time
for the next session of the Legislature,
or the allowing of extra compensation for
steel trusses. The last alternative also
Includes the 6econd one of not having the
building completed In time for use by the
next Legislature, in violation of the pro
visions of the bill authorizing the con
struction of the annex.
The commission has at various times
h'ad all these matters under considera
tion, but the contractors are in really des
perate straits, and will undoubtedly make
a fight that at this time has all the ap
pearances of tlcing up the construction
of the building: until after the next ses
sion of the. Legislature. "What the com
pany will offer to do as a way out of the
dilemma amounts to about this: It will
put in steel trusses if allowed extra com
pensation, and an extension of time on the
contract. Otherwise, the work will pro
ceed as the company thinks It should; in
other words, the company will put in
wood trusses, regardless of .the wishes of
the commission. Then the matter will
likely go Into the courts, an Injunction
will probably be applied for, or cancel
lation of the contract asked. The com
pany thinks It is amply fortified for a
legal fight, and believes It will win. In
the courts.
The company largely bases Its conten
tion for the privilege of using wood trusses
on a document signed by nine prominent
architects that there can be no other in
terpretation of the plans and specifica
tions than that wood trusses are called
for, and that Supervising Architect
Ritchie is entirely to blame for the fail
ure of the contractor to have the neces
sary iron on the ground; that he failed
to supply the proper plans; that If the
plans were supplied immediately It would
be 30 3ays "before bids could be called lor;
that it would require six months before
the iron could be delivered here, and that
it would further require six months after
the arrival of the iron before the building
could be completed. Under these circum
stances, the building cannot possibly he
completed by January next, when the next
session of the Legislature is to be held.
The Capitol Commission is certainly
placed In a much more awkward posi
tion than it has yet been, and it has had
many troubles. The commission is on rec
ord as adopting1 the policy of Governor
Rogers that the contractor will be held
to a strict compliance with th terms of
the contract, which, it contends, calls for
steel trusses, and that no extra time shall
be allowed the contractor. At the only
meeting of the commission held since Gov
ernor McBrlde assumed office the con
tractors were peremptorily ordered to
proceed with the work and place steel
trusses In the building, and Governor Mc
Brlde emphatically declined to even listen
to a proposal to undo anything relative
to the policy of the late Governor. It
has been- asserted that Commissioner
Simpson asked to be relieved from mem
bership in the commission. If there was
any change in policy to be made, and it
la probable that If Governor .HcBride even
contemplated -such a thing he would have
at -least two resignations from -the com
mission to actupon. But there Js very
little likelihood of Governor McBrlde giv
ing way tolho contractors, as he Is a very
determined man and a good lawyer, and is
sure of his gTound. On the other hand,
the contractors have employed legal tal
ent, who 'have advised that they cannot
be compelled to put in steel trusses unless
given extra compensation therefor. The
compensation for such work, the com
pany contends, should not be less than
513,000. Under all the circumstances, it is
not at all improbable that work o'n the
building will come to a standstill, ana that
the Legislature will have another oppor
tunity to meet in the old barn which cour
tesy has denominated a State Capitol
for 40 years.
Drum May Be Let Ont Soon.
Governor McBrlde has arranged to ac
company the State Board of Control on
a tnp of Inspection to the state institu
tions, covering a period of two weeks.
The Governor and the board will leave
the capital February 10. It is not at all
probable that any appointments will be
made by the Governor until after this
trip has been made, although there are
people here who think the Governor will
name a member of the board to succeed
Henry Drum before the trip Is made.

WH' SHB RESIGNED.
Er-Presldent of Equal Suffrage As
sociation Talks.
VANCOUVER, Wash., Jan. 17.-airs. M.
L. Trenholm Hidden, of this rttv n
recently resigned the chairmanship of the
Equal Suffrage Association of Washing
ton, when asked to give ner-reason for
refusing1 to serve longer In that capacity
said: '
"The Washington Eaual Suffrage Asso
ciation has been only a name for many
years. Very unexpectedly at the Puyal
lup convention I was elected state presi
dent and accepted the office as a call to
duty and because no on else suitable was
available. A few weeks of effort and
Inquiry into the management of affairs
generally convinced me that the work of
building, a state association from the
foundation up without even a nucleus of
representative women of the state as
helpers would necessitate a veritable mis
sionary tour Into every city and town
and a greater amount of hard work and
self-sacrifice than my present health
would permit
"I do not regard the State Equal Suf
frage Association as a true index of the
sentiment of the women of Washington
on this important subject Progressive
women everywhere are demonstrating the
principles of equality and Justice through
their philanthropic reform and educational
work In our various women's clubs, and
are hastening on woman's kingdom faster
than by the one-Idea method.
"As I have given the best of my life
to equal suffrage and other reform work,
I think I may bo justly excused at this
time from the responsibility of reviving
and reorganizing the Washington Equal
Suffrage Association."

track to a depth of eight feet It ex-
tends clear across the summit and as far
along Lako Bennett as Pennington. Just

Doctors in treating female diseases too frequently advise surgical operations. And wives, mothers
and daughters have .gone to their death because they needlessly submitted to surgical operations.
To-day over 1,000,000 cured women know
as the unerring specialist which has relieved them of disordered menses, falling of the womb, miscar
riage, leucorrhoEa and other female ailments, without private examination, without the surgeon's knife
and without any embarrassing publicity whatever. Wine of Carduijnakes it unnecessary for thousands
s of women to suffer any longer. A dollar bottle of Wine of Cardui can be secured from your druggist
By taking this pure Wine in your home the disordered menses are made regular. All the other
troubles ot women disappear with the regular return of the menstrual flow. Taking this remedy saves
hundreds of dollars in doctors' fees and brings a cure in the privacy of home.

THE DOCTOR'S GUESS
An Episode in a Turkish Harem.
A woman of the harem is taken sick.
Turkish etiquette makes no allowance
for sickness. The woman is for her hus
band's eyes alone. No other man may
look upon her. When the doctor comes
the side woman thrusts her hand through.
a curtain, on the other side of -which sits
the physician. From the hand alone he
must make his diagnosis. As a conse
quence when a Turkish woman is sick
she does not often get well.
There is a modesty of nature among
American women which, as much as the
modesty of etiquette among Turkish
women, often prevents an attending phy
sician from making a proper diagnosis of
disease. Women who are suffering from
diseases peculiar to their sex shrink
from the indelicate questioning, the of-
fensive examination and the obxoxious
local treatment which they know so
many local physicians deem necessary
and insist upon. As a consequence the
attending doctor obtains only a super
ficial knowledge of the ailments he at
tempts to cure, and often treats for the
wrong disease. The result is that women
suffer for long years in silence and allow
disease to gain a firm hold upon them,
until they are shattered in health and
worn and weak in body.
WHAT OTHER WOMEN HAVE DONE.
Thousands of women who shrank with
natural modesty from the ordeal pro
posed by local physicians have found a
cure by consulting Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buf
falo, N. Y. Dr. Pierce invites every sick
and ailing woman to consult him by
letter, free. All correspondence is
strictly confidential, and the written con
fidences of women are guarded by the
same strict professional privacy observed
by Dr. Pierce and his staff in personal con
sultations with women at the Invalids
Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo,
N. Y. A letter addressed to Dr. Pierce,
Buffalo, N. Y., will receive careful atten
tion and prompt reply.
nI would like to express my gratitude
to you for the benefits I have received

nI was' all run-down in health from.
November until March could not work
but a short while without resting. Was
so nervous at times that I could not even
write; had a very poor appetite, and
what I ate did not seem to do me much
good. decided to write to Dr. Pierce
and state my case, and am thankful that
I did, for in due time I received a favor
able reply as to what kind of medicine
to take. I sent and got it and com
menced taking the 'Favorite Prescrip
tion ' and Pellets.' Took six bottles of
'Favorite Prescription," one of 'Golden
Medical Discovery' and one vial of
Pellets.' I can now work as well as I
could before I was taken sick. I think
Dr. Pierce's medicine the best in the
world for sick and nervous women."
ANOTHER WAY TO BE CURED.
While a great many sick women write
to Dr. Pierce and find a cure by that
means, there are many other women who
use Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and
1
write only to say they are
cured by the use of this
great medicine for
woman's ills. "Favorite
Prescription" is particu
larly and peculiarly a
medicine for the cure oi
womanly diseases. It
makes women strong and
healthy, because it cures,
the diseases which under
mine the strength. The
tiny worm destroys the
beauty and fragrance of
the rose. Kill the worm
and the rose blossoms in
all its wonted beauty and
fragrance. Womanly
diseases mar beauty of
face and sweetness of
disposition. " Favorite
Prescription" cures these
diseases', and women fre
quently write after their
cure by this medicine:
"I am once more robust
and rosy cheeked." "I
am no more cross and
irritable as I was before.
If there is irregularity
and montly suffering Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription will cure it. It
dries the weakening, un
healthy drains which un
dermine the strength. It
heals inflammation and
ulceration, and. cures
female weakness.
"I enjoy good health,
thanks to Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription and
' Golden Medical Discov
ery,' " writes Mrs. J. J.
Schnetyer, of Pontiac, Livingston Co.,
111. "Have taken six bottles of each
kind. I was taken sick last February
and the doctors here called it ' Grip.' I
lay for four weeks in bed, then when I
got up I found I had 'displacement.'
Had such aches and pains in my back
and limbs could not stand any length of
time. knew that our home doctor
would insist the first thing on an ex
amination and that I would not submit
to. My son had your book, Common
Sense Medical Adviser, and I thought
from reading it that Dr. Pierce's medi
cine would do me more good than all
the home doctors and so it has. I can
say truly I was surprised at the benefit
I received. I can do all my washing.
In fact, I am on my feet most all the
time- An old friend of mine said to me,
"Why what is the matter with you?
You are gettingyoung again.' I told
her I had taken six bottles of Dr.
Pierce's medicine, and that if she would
do likewise she would feel ten years
younger, too." .
Judged by its record of womanly ills,
there is no other medicine just as good
as "Favorite Prescription." Therefore
accept no substitute.
