THE ILLS OF WOMEN And How Mrs. Pinkham Helps Overcome Them. Mrs. Mart Bollinger, 1101 Marianna St., Chicago, 111., to Mrs. Pinkham: " I have been troubled for the past two years with falling1 of the womb, leucorrhcoa, pains over my body, 6lck beaduches, backache, nervousness and weakness. I tried doctors and various remedies without relief. 'After taking1 two bottles of your Vegetable Com pound, the relief I obtained was truly wonderful. I have now taken several more bottles of your famous medicine, and can say that I am entirely cured." Mrs. HENBYDoRR,No.806Flndley8t, Cincinnati, Ohio,, to Mrs. Pinkham : . " For a long time I suffered with chronic inflammation of the womb, ' pain in abdomen and bearing-down feeling. Was very nervous at times, and so weak I was hardly able, to do any thing. Was subject to headaches, also troubled with leucorrhcea. After doc toring for many months with different physicians, and getting no relief, I had given up all hope of being well again when I read of the great good Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound was doing I decided immedi ately to give it a trial. The result was simply past belief. After taking four , bottles of Vegetable Compound and jising'three packages of Sanative Wash I can say I feel like a new woman. ' I deem it my duty to announce the fact vto my fellow sufferers that Lydla E. Pinkham's Vegetable remedies have entirely cured me of all my pains and Buffering. I have her ' alone to thank for my recovery, for which I am grate ful. May heaven bless her for the good work she is doing for our sex." - . PROGRESS OF CATAPHORESIS. Medical Illustration of What Can Be Done With Electricity. In dentistry no subject is more dis cussed than . the painless filling and extraction of teeth. Regarding the fcftmer.Dr. Thomas H. White, when seen in his office at 271 Morrison street, near Fourth, said: "That teeth can be filled absolutely without pain is a positive fact, whioh is demonstrated most every day in my office. Teeth that are so sensitive that the patient cannot endure an instru ment to touch them oan be made thor oughly Insensible to pain or feeling in from 10 to 30 minutes, and can be then filled or treated with ease. Yes, electiioity in a great boon to mankind. Just think of taking the nerve out of a tooth in 10 minutes from the time of the application of the electricity with out the slightest knowledge of it by the patient."

For 15 hours, from' 8 o'clock this morning until 6 o'clock tonight, Savannah has been In the grasp of a West Indian tor nado. During the day the wind blew steadily from 50 to 70 miles an hour. While the bity escaped with compar atively little damage, the loss of prop erty among the sea islands of the Geor gia and South Carolina coasts is be lieved to be heavy. For miles in every direction around Savannah the towns along the rivers lire submerged. Only one fatality has so far been reported the drowning of a negro while attempting to reach the land from a small island near Thunder bold but heavy loss of life Is feared on the South Carolina sea islands, where such fearful loss of life occurred during the great tjdal wave of 1893. The conditions now are similar to those during that storm. Owing to the sub merged country and the Isolated loca tion of the islands, no news can be had from them until the water subsides. For eight miles north of Savannah the entire country is a lake, with only the hummocks visible. At noon the water was eight feet above the highest tide. Driven on shore by the northeast Storm, it filled up on the islands, swept over . banks, and dams, carrying away the remnant of the rice crop that was left by the August storm, and had not been gathered, arid wiping out farm crops. The loss to rlceerowers alone will be from $50,000 to $75,000. Of the entire rice crop along the Savannah river, valued at $25Q,000, all but about 15 per cent was lost in this and the pre ceding storm. The damage to shipping is considera ble. The schooner Governor Ames, jvhich was on her way to sea with a cargo of 1,500.000 feet of lumber, went adrift in the harbor, but was secured safely. ' , The whaives at the quarantine sta tion, at the entranoe to the river here were partially carried away. The telephone, polioe, light and fire alarm wires are down, and the city is in darkness. On Hutchinson's island, opposite Savannah, and separating the oity from the South Carolina shore, many negro families were rescued by boats from the revenue steamers Tybee and Bout well. ANOTHER HORROR SHIP. Surgeon Protests Agnlnst Overcrowding on the Obdam. Santiago de Cuba, Oct. 4. Surgeon Majoi Seaman, of the transport Obdam, declares that there will be a repetition of the awful horrors that have charac terized the voyage home of the other transports if moie sick soldiers are sent on board the vessel for tiansportation to New York. He says, that when the Obdam left Porto Rico many on board were sick, yet the first quartermaster refused to furnish wine for theh use, but supplied them with hardtaok and canned food, saying that he had no authority, to furnish wine. Surgeon Seaman said he- would hold him re sponsible should any deaths occur, and finally succeeded In obtaining suitable food for those who were ill. He asserts ,that the ship has every ; man that she can cany, and that u she reaones JMew York without any deaths occurring, she will be lucky. ... ' Hearing that a number of other sick soldiers were to be sent aboard her, the Burgeon-major made a protest, and Stated that he was informed by General Lawton that his protest showed lack oi discipline, and that an officer bad been appointed to see how many additional men the Obdam oould carry, Surgeon Seaman says he will oable to Surgeon General Sternberg a protest, disclaim ing responsibility for whatever, may happen. Mayor M.oCleary, of Santiago, is en deavoring to compel the merchants to sell necessaries of life at reasonable rates. '' 5 MILLION DOLLAR FIRE. Serious Blow to the Town of Colorado Springs Eight Blocks Burned. Colorado Springs, Colo., Oct. 4. This oity had a visitation pf fire this afternoon which threatened for four, hours to destroy the entire business district. The wind was blowing at the rate of 45 miles an , hour from the southwest when the fire started at the Denver & Bio Grande freight depot, at the foot of Cucharis street, at 2:10 P. M., and the flames spread with great rapidity. A strip four blocks - long from north to south, and two blocks wide from east to west, has been burned over, but at this hour the conflagration is believed to be under oontrol. The flames are still leaping high over the burnt district, but, the wind has died down, and there is no doubt that the fire engines, whioh have come from Denver and Pueblo In response, to ap peals for aid, will be able to confine the flames within the present limits. The Antlers hotel, one of the largest in the West, three lumber yards and two blocks of business houses' have been destroyed. In round numbers the loss is estimated at $1,000,000, and insure ance at one-half of that amount. San Juan de Porto Rico, Oct. 8.'

From the Record, Pierceton, Ind. Determined to rise In his ohosen profession as an educator, Ernest Kem per, of PiercetOn, Ind., overtaxed him iclf mentally and physically. He was imbitious, his mind was always on bis work. From early morn until late at night be continually poured ovei his books.

He was taken to his bed with pneu monia and his overworked brain al most collapsed. For several weeks he was seriously ill. Catarrh had taken root In his system and his mind was in a delioate condi tion. He was sent to Colorado Where he spent three months without receiv ing any benefit. Then a noted special- Overstudy. 1st from Cleveland treated him without ivuil, and then a hospital in Chicago was tried, but all absolutely without benefit. Finally his physician recom mended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and from the first box he began to improve. When he had taken nine boxes be was completely cured. This famous blood and nerve medicine bad accomplished what all his former expensive treatment failed to accom plish. Mr. Kemper says his catarrh has entirely left him: he ; is strong again and weighs .nine pounds more than he ever did. He gives the pills the entire credit. He Is starting teach ing again and feels abundantly able to continue the work. To prove that the above Is true in every respect, Mr. Kemper made an affidavit as follows: . Subscribed and sworn to before me this the 10th dav of September, 1897. ' R. P. WATT, Notary Publio.

In Havana the stranger's attention is arrested by the venders of lottery tickets, who stand on the street corners with a pair of shear in one hand and sheets of lottery tickets in the other, ready to out off any number for buyers. They are very adroit, and are apt to persuade the credulous that they will draw a fortune in the soheme. These licensed lotteries are one of the great evils there, especially to", the Spanish people, who seem to be born gamblers, and for whom the chances of dice, cards, and lottery tickets appear to have an irrestible charm, all classes In Havana dealing in them habitually.

These creatures are larger than a sea-crab, and live entirely on the land. They run with great speed, even out stripping a horse. At seasons of the year they migrate in large bodies from one side of the island ' to the other, in columns sometimes half a mile wide, and so dense aa almost to stop a car riage on the road tjiey may be crossing. These columns overcome every obstacle in their direct line of march, even high mountains. It is supposed that these migrations are prompted by the in stinct of propagation, as the crabs oeek Jbe sea shore, deposit thir eggs, and cast off the old shell. These crabe.are so common about the city of Matanzas that the inhabitants often reoelve the sobriquet ' of "oangrejo. " They are frequently found in the houses, and in some casea even' under the beds. ' There is a species of conch which makes similar marches through the country In immense bodies. . These are called pirates, from a very curious habit they display. , This creature, which re sembles a snajl, has the ability of de taobiqg itself from the shell, which, for some reason, H temporarily leaves at times; and while its bouse Is thus vacant, another, passiing, will back its body, ' tall foremost, " into the empty shell, and keep possession. . The Pony Express. At first the schedule was fixed at 10 days, an average of eight mils an hour from start to finish. This was out down to eight days, requiring an aver age speed of 10 miles. The quickest trip made was In carrying President Lincoln's Inaugural address, which was done In seven days and 17 hours, an average speed of 10.7 miles per hour, the fastest time of any one rider being 120 miles, from Smith's Creek to Fort Churchill, by "Pony Bob," ha eight hours and 10 minutes, or 14.7 miles per hour. . Considering the distance and difficulties encountered, such as hostile Indians, road-agents, floods, and snowstorms, and accidents 1 to horses and riderB, the schedule wbs main tained to an astonishing degree. The service created the greatest enthusiasm not only among the employee, but also fh the ranks of stage employes, freighters, and relsdents along the route. To afd a "pony" in difficulty ; was a privilege,' and wde be to the man who would so much as throw a stone in the way. TJnole Sam's Watch focto.

Comparisons are made daily between 11 and 11:40 O'clock, morning, with the mean time standard clock, and the errors and rates are worked trp once a week, from these mean rates calcula tions being made and comparisons to the nearest quarter of a second. The temperature Is closely observed each day and recorded for the previous 24 hours by a chrnomethlo thermometer, and by self-registering maximum and minimum thermometers. The room Is heated by circulation of hot water, the fuel being gas, and is cooled by an ice refrigerator when a temperature is required below that of the' outside at mosphere. For the six colder months the temperature room is kept within a range of two degrees. REDUCTION IN' ftlCYCXB PKICK9.
