A
Woman's
Mistake
It Is a well-known fact that Lydia
E. Plnkham's Vegetable Compound
has cured more women than any other
remedy. It therefore must be the
best possible medicine for female ills.
But some women make the mistake
of thinking that they will try some
thing' else, simply because it is new.
That mistake is often a fatal one
fatal to the health and happiness of
the experimenter.
Is it not foolish to risk the possible
results of such experiments? Is it not
better to depend upon a medicine
which has been tried successfully for
thirty years, and which has never
been found wanting? Do not therefore
let any one persuade you to try some
thing which they say is just as good.
It cannot be just as good. Mrs. Pink
ham's Compound is the best, and there
can be only one best. This is not a
mere assertion, but is a positive fact,
admitted by hundreds of regular
physicians.
Rely on your own common sense,
and Mrs. Pinkham's life-long experi
ence, and you will make no mistake.
Lkn"t experiment with your health,
but take a medicine that you know is
good, and is backed by such letters as
these to Mrs. Pinkham :
Ovarian Troubles Always
Yield to Lydla E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Com"
pound.
"I had been in poor health for
twenty vears, having inflammation of
ovaries and womb trouble. Although
treated by physicians, I could not gain
strength nor do my work, and was so
low-spirited and tired of life. A friend
advised me to take Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound. The first
bottle strengthened me, and I wrote
to you. After taking six bottles can say
that I am well and can even do my own
washing." Mks. M. V. Miller, No.
1033 Canal Street, New Orleans, La.
" For ihree years I suffered with
ovarian trouble, having inflammation
and an abscess on right ovary. Had
such pain in my back and head, and at
times was unable to walk. Had sev
eral doctors, but they did not do me
much good. One doctor said that I
would have to have an operation and
have the ovary removed. I became
discouraged and gave up all hopes of
getting well. I began taking Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
I wrote to Mrs. Pinkham and followed
her directions faithfully, and am bet
ter than I have been for three years.
I have taken ten bottles, and my
friends are surprised at my rapid im
provement." Mas. W. H. Walters,
Cold Spring Harbor, L. L, N.Y.
Suppressed and Painful
Periods Cured by Lydla
Em Plnkham's Vegetable
Compoundm
" I was thin, sallow and nervous. I
had not had my menses for over a
year and a half. Doctored with several
physicians in town and one specialist,
but did not get any better. I finally
decided to try your medicine, and
wrote to you. After I had taken
three bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and three of
Blood Purifier, my menses returned,
and I feel as well and strong as I
ever did, and am gaining flesh." Miss
Lena Gaines, Visalia, Tulare Co., Cal.
"Before taking the Vegetable Com
pound I was troubled with irregular
menstruation, and suffered grat
agony. My physician gave me p-'or-phine,
and I remained in bea. I doc
tored eight years and got no relief, and
he doctors told me there was no relief
for my trouble. Finally I tried Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
While taking the first bottle I felt
that I was improving. I have taken
seven or eight bottles, and never had
anything to do me so much good.
Every month my troubles have grown
less and less, and now at this time I
am cured." Ella Quinney, No. 22
Stage Street, Haverhill. Mass.
Backache and Womb
Troubles Succumb to

table Compoundm
l nave been for ten years an in
valid with female weakness, and the
torture and pain I suffered no tongue
can tell. I never spent one week in
the ten years that I was free from
pain. My trouble was inflammation
and congestion of womb. When I
commenced to take your remedy I had
been bedfast for some time under the
treatment of two of our best physi
cians without receiving any benefit
You can imagine the benefit I de
rived from Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound when I tell you that I
have gained forty pounds and am well
a thing I never dared to expect."
Mrs. C. E. Foland, Monett, Mo.
"For a number of years I was
troubled with backache and lencor
rhosa. I became so weak and miser
able that I could not attend to my
work or studies. The least effort
would completely exhaust me. Physi
cians failed to help me. I felt that my
youth was blighted, and the life before
me would be one of suffering and
misery. Then a friend insisted on me
taking your medicine. Before I had
used one bottle I was greatly relieved.
I had not known a well day for four
years, but now I feel better than I have
since a child, and it is all due to Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound."

COLORADO GOLD MINERS.
rhc
Development of Gold Properties
Hu Been Amazing.
It is the freqnenoy of discoveries of
gold in all the leading silver producing
camps of the state that gives continued
new impetus to the development of the
mines and adds no inconsiderable part
to the mineral wealth of Colorado.
Under such conditions the silver
question naturally cuts very little fig
ure politically, although Mr. Bryan,
against the counsel of the wise and
conservative element of his party, stub
bornly insisted that the silver plank of
the Chicago platform should be reaf
firmed in its entirety as a "para
mount" condition of his accepting the
Domination. In the mining states,
however, "sixteen-to-one" has been
weighed in the balance of common
sense and found wnnting. Whilom
silver leaders seem to be disappearing
from Colorado, or returning to the Re
publican fold, and even the repeal of
the Sheraum act is a blessing in dis
guise. In the beginning that measure
undoubtedly had -bad effect on the
mining industry. Bot, while driviug
the men out of employment and clos
ing mines, it also impelled prospectors
to the search for gold and copper, and
as a striking result. Colorado possesses
now one of the greatest gold -producing
areas in the world. Millions of dol
lars have poured into the state for in
vestment.. New industries have sprung
np. Old plants have increased their
capacity. More men are employed and
at better wages than ever before. City
treasuries are full and public improve
ments are progressing on every side.
What is true of Colorado, applies
with equal force to other mining states.
Prosperity is visible everywhere and
little attention is paid to silver as a
live political issue. "Sixteen-to-one"
will doubtless be left to take care of
itself in miniDg sections during this
campaign.
The honest miner knows a good
thing when he has it. He is not seek
ing a change. And as natural causes
are promoting the great mining indus
try of the country, he is not liable to
support any movement which relies
upon extraneous or moribund theories
to bring about legitimate industrial
and financial results.
JOHN VV. TOSTGATE.
BRYAN CLAUSES ARE HERE.
Manufacturers Look for Disaster if He
Is Elected.
Manufacturers and their immediate
customers are beginning to get them
selves in shape for the dull times that
they know would ensue in the event ot
the election of Mr. Bryan. Reports
fiom all over the country indicate that
"Bryan" clauses are soon to be the rule
in signing new contracts. The latest
is a contract entered into between the
New'Ilaveu Carriage Company and the
J. Curley Company, of Brooklyn. The
contract specilies that the New Haven
Company shall furnish the Curley
Company with a certain number of car
riages at a certain price until Novem
ber 15, 1901. With the contract re
ceived by the Curley Company was the
following letter from the New Haven
Company:
"We enclose herein agreements
signed. You will notice that we have
made an indorsement at the bottom.
Will you please indoise this yourself?
It is just as good policy for you to in
dorse it as it is for us, for you do not
wish to be bound down by anything in
case of such adverse circumstances as
would occur in the event of Bryan's
election."
The indorsement reads:
"This agreement to be null and void
in case William J. Bryan is elected
president of the United States in No
vember, 1900.''
Other large concerns are indorsing
important contracts in this way, their
managers well knowing that a long
season of business depression would
follow the success of the Democratic
ticket. A large Philadelphia dry goods
house in placing contracts abroad in
sists that the contracts be similarly in
dorsed .
Tne business men know what four
years of Rryanism would mean to them,
and the working people are equally
aware of the fact. If these classes are
not prosperous, they will be unable to
consume as much of the products of
the farm as they would in the event of
Republican success, and the farmer
knews the value of having an era of
prosperity among those who eat and
wear his products.
Polling Favors McKinley.
Judging by the results of the polls
being taken in the big office buildings
in Chicago, an immense vote will be
piled up for McKinley and Roosevelt
in the Republican wards of the city.
That this will be true has become evi
dent by the result of the poll in Mar
shall Field & Co.'s big store, in the
Marquette building, where the vote is
five to one, and in the Monadnock
building where it is six to one in favor
of the administration. The Rookery,
one of the largest office buildings,
shows a still larger McKinley percent
age, the ratio being nine to one. The
vote of the Rookery in detail is as fol
lows: McKinley, 1,128; Bryan. 121;'
Woolley, 9; non-committal, 20; unde
cided, 26; total, 1,804. This class of
voters is largely the same as supported
Cleveland in 1892, and indicates to a
certainty how the business men of the
city feel toward continuing the present
good times.
Croker'i Share of the Spoils.
I am pleased with the outlook in
New York. Things are looking much
better there than a month ago. What
J have said about Bryan promising
jCroker a cabinet position has been sub
stantiated. I know that Bryan has
promised to let Croker distiibute the
federal patrongae in New York, and
jif Bryan is elected Croker can put
former Senator Murphy in Bryan's
cabinet. Chairman M. A. Hanna.
Travelers Do Not Bite.
Bryan managers have dropped the
scheme to catch the commercial trav
elers. The knights of the grip have
declined to believe themselves unpros
perous. The latest polls among them
are: McKinley, 85; Bryan, 9; Prohi
bition, 2; undecided, 5.
Colorado had 1,293,058 sheep valued
at $2,396,295, or $1,85 per bead in
1894. That was free trade. Colorado
today has 2,185.327 sheep, valued at
$6,250,036, or $2.86 per head. That is
protection. Bryau said: "I am in fa
vor of f;ee wool."
The Sew Star Spangled Banner.
On the 13th day of September, 1814,
during the bombardment of Fort Mc
Henry, Francis Scott Key composed the
"Star Spangled Banner.' The British
fleet has attacked the fort, and the peo
ple were anxiously waiting tor the
dawn, to see whether the fort bad sur
rendered. This situation gave to Mr.
Key his motive.
Today our flag is floating over the
Philippines. The Bryanites want to
pull it down. All the patriotic citi
zens of the country are waiting to see
whether it floats there after the next
election. The rebels who are firing
on the flag shall be conquered, the
Bryanites shall be defeated, and on
November 7 the people of the country,
with one voice shall sing:
"Let the Star Spangled Banner in
trimuph be waved.
O'er the lands we have freed, and the
peoples we've saved.
The situation has inspired the "New
Star Spangled Bannex" which is as
follows:
Oh, say, can yon see, by the far east
ern lighf,
What so proudly we hailed at the
twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars,
after many a fight,
In lauds near and far is so gallantly
streaming?
And the thanks in our prayer, rising
high in the air
Give proof to the woi Id that our nag
is still there;
Oh say, let that Star Spangled Banner
be waved,
O'er the lands we have freed, and the
peoples we've saved.
Oh, thus be it always, whenever we
stand
Between the oppressed and king's deso
lation. Blest with victory and peace, may the
heaven rescued land
Praise the power that hath made us a
powerful nation. j
And onward me must, for our cause it
is just;
And this be our motto "In God is our
Trust;"
Let the Star Spangled Banner in
triumph be waved,
O'er the lands we have freed, and the
peoples we've saved.
The Mandate of Party.
Could we have brought Dewey
away without universal condemnation
at any time from the 1st of May, the
day of his brilliant victory which
thrilled the world with its boldness
and heroism? Was it right to order
Dewey to go to Manila and capture or
destroy the Spanish fleet, and despatch
Merritt and his army to reinforce him?
If it was duty to send them there, and
duty required them to remain there, it
w as their clear duty to annihilate the
fleet, take the city of Manila and de
stroy the Spanish sovereignty in the
acihipelago. Having done all that in
the line of duty, is there any less duty
to remain there and give to the inhab
itants protection and also our guidance
to a oetter government, which will se
cure them peace and order and security
in their life and property and in the
pursuit of happiness? Are we nnable
to do this? Are we to sit down in onr
isolation and recognize no obligation
to a struggling people whose present
conditions we have contributed to
make? W i Ilium MoKinley.
Do You Want This to Return.
From K. G. Dun & Co.'s Review, Dec. 15, 1893.
Mills are stopping in every direction
and the army of unemployed is larger
than its has been for many years. The j
struggle of the Pittsburg region for I
business drives prices to the lowest !
point ever known. $11 for Bessemer 1
iron, $16.75 lor steel billets, and takes
away nearly all new work from the
East and West, where depression in- i
creases. Wheat prices delivered 1
cent. The price of corn yielded one
half cent. Prices of hogs drop in spite
of reports that they are proving of poor
quality. The list of the week's fail
ures include seven banks, an agricul
tural machinery establishment for
$1,000,000, an iron works for $500,000,
a heavy tobacco dealer for $500,000, a
lumber concern for $100,000 and a dry
goods concern for $150,003.
Who Is Responsible.
Whatever show ot resistance to our
anthority there is at the present time
in the Philippines will be kept up un
til after our. election in November.
The insurrection is kept alive by the
leaders who hold out to the soldiers the
hope of Bryan's election. George
Dewey.

, Democrtaic leaders so terrible in ita

state the case in their own defense.
Patriotism No Monopoly.
Patriotism is not a monopoly of the
Bry anarchists. It is safe to assume
that y our next door neighbor is as pa
triotic as yoo. Hence the theory that
the republic is unsafe with the Repub
lican party is a myth. It has too of
ten proved its patriotism in times of
stress and peril.
Gont is rarely known among the
working classes of Ireland. Their im
munity from this complaint is thought
to be due " to the fact that their food
consists largely of potatoes.
The Issues Boiled Down.- w
I do not know of any stronger appeal
that can be made for Republican votes
then a recital of the last fonr years as
compared with the previous fonr years.
Boiled down the issues are McKinley
ism and Bryanism. Boiled down it is
free silver and free tra".e on Bryan's
side and prosperity and development
on ours. Out West the argument of
"imperialism" is played out. Mr.
Biyan will not talk free silver in the
Empire state unless you force him to.
and I want yon to force him to. I have
frequently expressed publicly that the
Republicans in this state and country
are feeling too sanguine as to the re
sult. The Republican national committee
does not take any chances. The issues
in this campaign are greater than in
any other. A defeat wonld put us ten
years behind. Chairman M. A. Han

Second Attacks of Typhoid Fever.
The idea is that, as one attack of ty
phoid gives immunity from a second,
temporarily, if not lasting, immunity
might be acquired by inoculation with
an attenuated dose of the poison. But
one attack of typhoid does not give
immunity from a second, says Dr. T.
J. Maclagan in the British Medical
Journal. Second attacks of typhoid
are as common as iy the "ordinary doc
trine of chances, they ought to be;
more common, fur; instance, than sec
ond attack of pneuomnia, in about the
same proportion that first attacks are
more common. If one attack of the
fully developed disease does not give
immunity . he concludes, inoculation
with an attenuated dose of the poison
can scarcely be expected to do so.

Novelty In Millinery.
A new adornment is finding favor
among milliners. This consists of
skeleton leaves preserved exactly as
they fall from the tiee and retaining
their natural color. The leaves of the
walnut, chestnut and platane trees are
preferred for the purpose; large ivy
leaves and oak leaves are also used.
The longest leaves are formed into a
large paillette, one side being composed
of a stiff painted feather, the other of
the skeleton leaf, thus forming a broad
garniture. A fine invisible wire fixed
to the edge of the leaf prevents its
crumpling. The smaller leaves are
made into garlands mounted onanaiti
ficial or natural branch. The leaves
have to be perfectly preserved as their
beauty naturally lies in the delicacy
and transparency of the fiber. St.

Pickled Peppers.
Cut out the stem of the peppers in a
circle, remove the seeds and wash out
in cold water; then fill each with a
mixture of finely-chopped cabbage,
horseradish, mustard seed, tiny cucum
bers, button onions and nasturtiums.
Replace the pieces cut from the top
and sew around with coarse thread.
Place in stone jars and cover with cold
vinegar.
In Sweden, ip 2,200 out of 2,400

of intoxicants, the cities of Sweden are
said to be the most drunken in Europe.

Striving to Cheapen Light.
Electricians confidently expect that
their art will at a futured day bring
tbe cost of illumination down to a mere
trifle compared with what it now is.
As is well known, the most economical
methods of lighting involve a waste of
nearly all of the energy utilized. Prof.
j L-angley says that the ideal light is
that of the fireflv, which is produced
without heat or waste. If man could
imitate it he would solve one of the
most interesting and important prob
lems. The "cash" is the most common cir
culating coin in China. It is a cop
per and zinc piece about the size of
the American quarter of a dollar, with
a square hele in the center, for conven
ience in stringing many of them to
gether. The sterlet, caught in Siberian riv
ers, competes with tbe pompano, from
the Gulf of Mexico, as the most delic
ious fish in the world.

all cutaneous eruptions.
It perfects all the vital processes.
W. P. Keeton, Woodstock. Ala., took Hood's
Sarsaparilla to make his blood pure. Ha
writes that he had not felt well but tired for
some time. Before he had finished the first
Dottle of this medicine he felt better and
when he had taken the second was like
another man free from that tired feeling
and able to do his work.
