As long as there are private mur

The old Mississippi manages to
keep the river bottom farmers in a

The twenty minutes which the
presidential party will probably spend
In Pendleton, should be so crowded
with hearty Western welcome that
even Roosevelt will wonder how it
was done.
The railroad corporations are now
directing national legislation on the
canal bill. It is very accommodating
in the trusts to step aside for a mo
ment and let the oppressed railroads
have a few words to say.
For the first time since 1SC4, the
roulette wheels, faro games and other
gambling devices of Helena, Mont
are silent. It must be a lonely old
burg these days, for the pioneer who
has grown so accustomed to these
luxuries.
Oregon now begins to feel the re
sult of past corruption. If the school
lands of this state had not been crim
inally exploited by politicians and
grafters, the irreducible school fund
would now be so great that interest
from it would meet all school require
ments and a school tax levy would
now be unknown. "Where there Is

A CHEAP FALSEHOOD.
When you see the report that 30.-,

concerns that promised sudden wealth
you may take the statement for exact-'

some clergymen who are foolish, but '
to say that thousands of them are

Young women may avoid much sick
ness and pain, says Miss Alma Pratt, if
they will only have faith in the use of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
"Dear ak. Pixkham: I feel it my duty to tell nil youiiff women
how mucli Lydm E.Pmkliam's wonuertiU ejrotable Compound lias
done for me. I was completely run down, unable to attend school, and
did not care for any kind of society, but now I feel like a new person,
and have gained s-even pounds of flesh hi three months.
I recommend it to all young women who suffer from female weak
ness." Aliss Alma Pratt, Ilolly, ilich.
FREE 3LEDICAL ADVICE TO YOZTSG GIRLS.
All young girls at this period of life are earnestly invited to
write Itfrs. Pinkham for advice; she has guided in a motherly way
hundreds of young women; her advice is freely and cheerfully
given, and her addre.-f. is Lynn, 3tlass.
Judging- from the letters she is receiving- from so many young girls Mrs.
Pinkham is inclined to the belief that our girls are pushed altogether too near
the limit of their endurance nowadays in our public schools and seminaries.
.Nothing is allowed to interfere 'with studies, the girl must be pushed to
the front and graduated with honor ; often physical collapse follows, and it
takes years to recover the lost vitality, often it is never recovered.
A Young Chicago Girl Saved from Despair.
"Deak 31ns. Pinkhaji: I wish to thank you for the help and ben
efit I have received through the use of Lydia E. Pinkhani's Vege
table Compound and Liver Pills. When I was about seventeen
years old I suddenly seemed to lose my usual good
nealth and vitality, .bather said 1 Btudied too
hard, but the doctor thought dinerent and
prescribed tonics, which I took by the
quart without relief. Keadiug one day in
the paier of Mi's. Pinkham's great cures,
and finding' the symptoms described an
swered mine, I decided I would give Lydia
1 E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a
trial I did not say a word to the doctor:
I bought it myself, and took it according
to directions regularly for two months,
and 1 found that 1 gradually improved,
and that all pains leit me, and I was my
old self once more. Lillie E. Sinclaul
17 E. 22d St., Chicago 111."
Lydia E. Pinkham': Vegetable Compound Is the one sure rem
edy to be relied upon at this important period in a young girl's
life; with it she eau go through with courage and safety the work
she must accomplish, und fortify her physical well being so that
her future life may be insured against sh-knesand suffering.

A WOMAN'S PRAYER.
It is notable that in the desoondencr
caused by womanly diseases, there seem
10 main- a sunenng woman no way of
escape from pain except at the price of
life itself. It would be sad to record
such a story of struggle and suffering ex
cept ior uit tact,
that in such dire
distress many a
woman has
found a wav

and happiness by
tne use of Dr,
Pierce's Favorite
Prescription.
