Advice to Mothers.

Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup should
always be used when children are cutting
teeth. 1t relieves the little sufferer at
once; it produces natural, quiet sleep by
relieving the child from pain, and the lit
tie cherub awakes as "brighta as a button. !"
1t is very pleasant to taste. It soothes
the child, softens the gum, allays all pain,
relieves wind, regulates the bowels, and
is the best known remedy for diarrhea,
whether arising from teething or other
G uses. Twenty-Five cents bottle.

Was a Grand Celebration.
Vermont has never seen a celebration
arranged upon such grand and magnifi-
&C Mt scale. 1t was the elimination of a long
series of events covering a century. Aug.
Is, the anniversary of the battle of Ben
1ington, is to the people of south Vermont
what the Fourth of July is to the nation.
For nearly fifty years there has been
more or less preparation for the building
OF suita BILE monument. The first or
ganized effort was in 1853 The cost OF
the monument and site has been, in round
numbers, 100000; Massachusetts con-
tributed $4,000; New Hampshire s, 800
the nation"l government, 1000, and
Vermont, $4,000. The balance has beer
raised by private subscriptions.
Description of the Memorial.
The monument stands on a command
ing site 2S3 feet above the Wallonsac
river. The foundation of the monument
Is the solid rock of the mountain, on the
top of which was situated the BENIN gton
of the Revolution. The structure is an
obelisk, built of native stone and faced
with sahdy-hill dolomite. The height
from the base to the top of the capstone is
30o feet l0S9 inches. The monument at the
base Is 81 feet inches by 35 feet inches,
running to point at the top. The lookout
room is lss feet above the foundation and
is reached by an iron staircase. From
this lookout the battlefield is plainly visi-
bic seven miles away. In front of this
monument, commanding a fine view Of
Monument avenue and the old First
church, was erected the grand stand,
where the dedication services took place.

CHICAGO, Aug. ia pretty brunette

ments in Judge Kohlsaats court yester-
day. and practically decided long-drawn-
out and sensational litigation over the
custody of child and a $4,000 estate.
which'has occupied the attention of the
probate court for many months. The
pretty woman who did the rawhidinE was
Mrs. Ed Mcmahon, whose husband has
been charged with attempting to poison
his own child, and whose mother-in-law
has been endeavoring to get possession of
the child on this charge.
The Man who Passed Under the Rod
The, lawyer who was rawhided is Attor-
ney Patrick McHugh, a we'll known mem
Der of the bar, who was not long ago a
candidate for the bench, and who was as
sociated with Attorney Hynes in behalf of
the mother-in-law in the case Not only
was Attorney McHugh rawhided by Mrs
McMahon, but he was smashed right and
left, his eyes BACKED, and in fact was
knocked clean out by Mr.. McMahon, the
husband of the plucky little woman who
stood up in defiance of all law, order and
court regulations in behalf of her own
reputation.
History of the Case.
The McNahon case is a remarkable one.

1t is said the mother wanted her son to
marry the daughter of a wealthy North
Side man, who is also a well known Irish
American. They had one child-the little
Milton McNahon-over whom all the row
has taken place The young wife died,
and the little fellow became heir to some
valuable property through his mothers
death. Then the charge was made, mainly
through the action of the boys grand
mother, it is claimed, that Ed Mcmahon
had attempted to poison his own child
with paris green in order to become
owner of the lat;er's property.
The hight Over the Child.
Mediation had married again in the
meantime and SUIT was commenced to re-
move the child from the guardianship of
the father and step-mother. Pending the
hearing of the case the child was placed
under the guardianship of Peter Smith.
a very wealthy resident of Chicago. The
McMahons produced evidence showing
that the paris green was used for poisoning
vermiu, and accidentally fell in the way

tain the custody of the child the McNa-
hons, particularly the young wife,
brought down upon themselves the VIC

positive
Here's the proof = if it
doesn't do you good within
reasonable time, report the
fact to its makers and get
your money back without
a word-but you won't do it !
The remedy is DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription and it
has proved itself the right
remedy in nearly every case
of female weakness.
1t is not a miracle. 1t won't
cure everything-but it has
done more to build up tired,
enfeebled and broken down
women than any other medi-
cine known.
Where's the woman who's
not ready for it? All that
we've to do is to get the
news to her. The medicine
will do the rest.
Wanted Women. First
to know it. Second to use
it. Third to be cured by it.
