needs is DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. It's made exactly to fit
her case-an i~nvigorating, restora-

and vigor to the whole system. But
it isn't a mere stimulant. It's a
legitimate medicine, that an expe-
rienced physician has carefully pre-
pared, for woman's ailments. All
the functional arrangements, chronic
weaknesses, and painful disorders
peculiar to the sex, are corrected

And because it's a certain remedy,
it can be made a guaranteed one.
If it fails to give satisfaction, in any

Death OF j, I, Case.

RACINE, WIS, December A.-Jerome l.
Case, Racine's foremost citizen, is dead. He
has been suffering from diabetes for six
weeks. He was one of the best known men
in Wisconsin. His phenomenal horse, "Jay-
Eye-See, has spread his fame over the CIV
ilized globe. MIR. Case was also one of the
largest manufacturers of threshlng machines
in the country. He was born at Williams
town, Oswego county, N. Y, on December
II, 1919.
MILWAUKEE, Visa dispatch from Ra-
cine says Edward L. Baker, son-in-iaw of j.
I. Case. committed suicide. Startling rumors
are afloat as to the cause.
Captain Baker committed suicide by
shooting himself through the head. He
was one of the trustees of the estate of
his brother. which was valued at s., 0OO, 600,
and was guardian of the five SONS, all minors.
To the three oldest he had given an account
ing. Last Saturday Steven Bull and Major
jackson L Case, acting for his fsther, and
who was one of the bondsmen of Captain
Baker, learning that he had mortgages ON
Dakota lands held in trust for the other sons,
called on him and asked that they be given
an accounting. This is now pending. Cap
tain Baker had made many unfortunate in
vestments, but his friends claim that his for
tune is not impaired, although this Is not
generally believed. They claim that i'll
health temporarily unsettled his mind.

The American Case Against Chill.
New YoRK.-Our controversy with Chill is
approaching conclusion.
1t is learned that the latest communications
from Minister Egan are of a character to
discourage a diplomatic attempt to induce
the Gillian authorities to express any regret
ut the assault upon our sailors in Valparaiso,
Or to make any reparation for the killing of
the men of the Baltimore.
The secretary of state was engaged upon
the preparation of the American case against
Chill. When Blame has completed his state
ment the president will take it in hand, pre-
facing it with an introduction of his own,
and, perhaps adding some language that he
deems essential to impress congress with the
importance of prompt treatment of his sug
special message.
In temperate way, following traditions
In forms of presentation, he will indicate to
congress the conclusion that indifference to
our requests for reparation by the Chilian
government amount to manifest actions of
hostility and that, in order to assert the de-
mands of the United States effectively, the
president will request that he be permitted
90 use the naval and military forces of the
United States to constrain that respect which
cannot be secured through ordinary diplo-
the respectful agencies of the state depart
ment. Should the president SO decide, he
will send his special message on Chill to con-
gress, and as Is now considered not lmpr0b-
able that he may, it is considered almost Ger
tain that the holiday recess will be either
abandoned or reduced to one of unusual
brevity.

EnormousL osses of Miners.

TERRE HAUTE, IND, December 29.-t is
not settled fact that the Indiana miners,
though the strike is declared of, will be able
to get regular work at once, but the proba-
bilities seem to be that they will. Conserv-
alive estimates place the loss resulting from
the strike at million and three-quarters of
dollars. Considered in its whole breadth
and extent-something lncalculable with any
degree of definiteness-it was probably more
than that. Nearly oue-half of the enormous
sum is out of the pockets of the men, or rath-
er was never put in them. A goodly portion
of the remainder shows up in greatly de-
creased earnings of the railways.

NEW YoRK, December Or. G. Dun &
Cos weekly review of trade says:
Holiday trade is not always just measure
of prosperity of the people, but it is sat:sfac-
tory to know that at most points it is unu-
sually large this year. General trade this
season is unusually light, merchants being
engaged in taking stock, but at many points
it is reported larger than usual, and even
larger than last year. Reports show less
complaint as to collections, and large trade
is in progress.
At Chicago sales and collections Of mer-
chand,se exceed last years in spite Of soft
country roads, and holiday trade is phenom-
email. Receipts of wheat. corn and rye are
double those of past years. or dressed beef,
three times last years, increase OF flour is a
third, IN cured meats quarter, and in oats.
barley and cattle large, Notwithstanding
complaints of car famine throughout the
west. Money,ls easy and demand good.
At st. Lonis milder weather checks trade,
but the holiday business is large, and the
trade in clothing, shoes and other seasonable
goods is above the average and money easier.
At Kansas City the holiday trade is brisk.
Though the blockade affects the receipts,
cattle and grain trade is fairly healthy.
than usual activity, even wooden mills hav-
ing orders enough to keep them fairly en-
pioyed, and number have recently started,
but none shut down. Cotton manufactures
find good demand, and numerous enlarge
ments of plants arc reported. Shoe factories
complain that usual orders are lacking and
yet they are fairly active. Paper mills are
busy and making many additions to ma
chinery and buildings. Iron manufacturers
have been turning out more pig iron than
ever before. though SONS works stop for the
holidays and the tone of the market is
stronger. with rather more demand for fin
ished products.
Speculation continues moderate, wheat
having risen 14c, with sales of 1900, 600
bushels, corn having declined 1 cent and oats

changed. Cotton dropped sixteenth below

ceeding last years to date by 556, 900 bales.

EMPoR1A, KAN.-Although Mrs. Senator
Plumb has been unable to close her eyes in
slumber for even one minute since the re-
ceipt of the news of her husband's unexpected
death, yet she bears her bereavement with
great fortltude, and has been on her feet al
most constantly, receiving and answering
kilograms and attending 70 other matters.
In all this she has been ably assisted by her
daughter Ruth, who was SO suddenly sum-
moned from pleasure party in Topeka, and
who. like her mother. has developed great
powers of endurance under extremely trying
circumstances. Mary, the eldest daughter, is
confined to her bed by severe attack of la

The Mexico-Texas Border War.
SAN ANTONIO. TEX, December 8-The
only information received at the military de-
partment headquarters here from the scene
OF Garzia's revolutionary troubles along the
hio Grande border was dispatch to Assist
ant Adjutant General Martin frcm CAPTAIN
johnson. of the Third cavalry. which stated
ne had Just returned to Fort Brown after q
three days scouting trip up the river, on the
texas side. in search of the revolutionary
Mexicans and offenders against the United
were encountered and mono are believed to
have crossed over into Texas from Mexico
along that portion of the border. The start
ling report which reached here from Fort
Mcintosh that Captain Francis Hardie, Third
cavalry. and a detachment of fifty men had
near Carbon, Texas, and that in the engage
ment that ensued fourteen United States SOL
diers were killed, had up to a late hour re-
ceived no official confirmation. General
Stanley was expectantly awaiting some word
from Captain Hardie, but no communication
has been had with him as yet. IL is known
that he is IN pursuit of detachment of revo-
as reported. 1t is believed at the post here
that he must have been drawn into ambush
and his men massacred. In the telegraph to
General Stanley, Captain Rourke states that
Garzia recently made speech to his follow
ers at Los Angeles, Tex, in which he asserted
that the present campaign would be COM
pletely successful, and after he had over
thrown the administration of President Diaz
he would then insist that part of Texas be
added to Mexico. The Mexican consul here
received a dispatch from the Mexican consul
at Neuvo Laredo, stating that force of
Garzia's men and regiment of Mexican
troops met some distance below that place,
and the Mexicans made stand, but we're de-
feated with loss of four men. The Mexi-
can government is rushing men to the from
tier.
Governor Hogg has sent detachment of
rangers to the scene of the troubles, and they
will aid the military authorities in suppress
ing the uprising.

ROYAL Pensioners.

LONDON. December 23.-The conservative
organs are trying to educate the British pub
lie into an approval of the parliamentary
grant raising the income of the recently aft
anced Duke of Clarence and Avondale to
EDS, 600 yearly. The queen, 1t is understood,
will not consent to open the coming session
of parliament unless the cabinet will assent
to taking the risk involved in bringing for
ward the proposal. The ministers, in the
meantime, are unwilling to 60 farther than
to propose dover for the Princess Victoria
Mary or an annuity of 5000 as a marriage
settlement. The radicals will agree to q
moderate dowry, but to no further grant to
the Duke of Clarence; and, if the government
ventures to ask for special provision for
him, the opposition reckon on q vote of 200
against the measure.

list of Republican members, a. another

Preparing for the Worst.

Preparing for the Worst
SAN Francisco, December 25.-From ID
formation gleaued here it looks as if the re-
ports sent out from Washington of prepare
tions for war with Chilli were true. Admiral
Brown has secured an option on the new and
powerful tug Fearless, just finished at the
Union Iron works. She has q speed of six
teen knots an hour. If purchased by the
government she will be supplied with two 81
inch guns and secondary battery Of four
6-pounders and four torpedo tubes. She is
swifter than the Chilian torpedo cruiser and
far more powerful.
Admiral Brown also secured options or
four of Spreckle's big steamers-the Zea-
landia, Australia, Mariposa and Alameda, to
be used for transport service. The Zealandia
can be ready at ten hours notice and all the
others inside of three weeks. The coast de-
Tense vessel Monterey can be made ready in
three days after her armor plate is received.

ManIacs In a Fire.

Pontiac, MICH, December 29.-Fire was
discovered in the north wing of the Eastern
Michigan Insane asylum. The flames spread
with fearful rapidity, and with limited facil-
tiles at hand the fremeu we're powerless.
Fifteen minutes after the first alarm the oc-
cupants of the wing, 500 women, were turned
loose. Screaming franticly with terror the
maniacs surged through the corridors where
the air was already filled with smoke.
The flames filled the demented creatures
with terror. Some ran like wild animals,
trampling their slower companions in their
mad efforts to escape. Others were paral-
yzed with fright and stood rooted to the spot
with eyes staring horribly into the roaring
fire.
The attendants performed deeds of hero
ism in their endeavors to rescue the helpless.
Rushing hither and thlther, dragging hesitat-
ing ones from their rooms, they drove the in
sane women into the open air. Some, once
upon the outside, would break away and
rush for the burning building again.
A report is going about that several women
were seen at the windows after the patients
were supposed to be all out. They had torn
every vestlge of clothing from their persons
and laughed in hideous glee at the approach
ing flames. When last seen they were stand
ing in the midst of sheets of fire, gesrlculat-
ing wildly, and with their long hair flying
disheveled about their faces.
In half an hour the entire north wing was
wrapped in flames.
Spectators declare that they heard shrieks
of anguish, but in the confusion it was i'm
possible to distinguish the screams of fright
ened MANAGES without from the expiring out
cry of victims within, if any there were.
Those of the women who had ran away in
to the woods were brought back and placed
In cottages.
Seven hundred crazy men tore about the
narrow confines of their rooms yelling like
demons, not from fear, as 1t seemed, but
with exultation.
The entire south wing or mems ward es-
capped, and it was not found necessary to re-
move the inmates. The loss is placed at
$4,000 on the building and 81, 500 will COW
er the loss on the personal effects of the pa
tients and attendants. 1t is considered a
miracle that of 80 patients in the asylum,
no lives were lost or no one injured.

Chances Very Slim,

WASHINGTON, d. c., December Ex-senator
PETER startled the people of Washington this
week by offering a number of petitions from
citizens of Kansas asking congress to pass a
law prohibiting the sale of Intoxicating
liquors in the District of Columbia. The
petitions were signed by several hundred
persons and were from various parts of Kan
sas. Senator PETER said that they came
from a number of Kansas churches, but he
did not know who was engineering the move
ment. A bill will probably be introduced
early in the session, but the chances for the
enactment of prohibitory law for the DIS
trict of Columbia are very slim.

WASHINGTON, d. c., December 23.-Old
soldiers of Kansas will suffer seriously by the
death of Senator Plumb.
Commissioner Raum estimates that Sena-
tor Plumb had {. eco cases pending before his
department.. No other senator or represent
alive had half that number. Plumb was able
to push them through in better time than
any one else. These cases will necessarily
be delayed. A few of them Senator Plumb
had been working on for number of years.
He had reached that point where these long
standing cases were soon to be settled, but
now they will 90 on for an indefinite time.
