When Lydia e. Pinkham first sent out
the news of her great discovery, there
was no lack of harsh speech from those
whose practice and opinions she set at
defiance.
But when young girls by the hundreds
were absolutely cured by Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, then the
tongues of the traducers were stilled, and
faith was allowed to live In the hearts of
the people.
Young girls are subject to this trouble.
1t robs them of the buoyancy of youth.
1t makes all effort distasteful.
IL causes retention and suppression of
menscs, leucorrhea, severe headache,
waxy complexion, depression, weakness,
loss of appetite and interest.
Certainly mothers ought to know that
these are all symptoms of the one cause
of nearly all the suffering that comes to
women; and to save their daughters
ought TO begin treatment at once.
lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound Is the surest and most natural
remedy for women ever compounded. It
will accomplish its work with certainty.

THE ELBE INQUIRY.

Adjourned Until the Statements OF the
Crathie Sailors Are Received.
BERLIN, March 26.-The official inves-
tigation of the Elbe disaster began in
Bremen yesterday. Third-Officer Theo-
dore Stollberg said he was on the bridge
when the collision occurred. He saw the
masthead light and green side lights OF
the steamer Crathie. The Elbe, follow
ing the rules, kept her course. Soon
afterward he saw the other steamers
red light behind the Elbe's bridge and
then came the collision. There was no
panic on the Ele. The rest of Stollberg's
story confirmed the reports already
made. The president of the court an
nounced, despite the endeavors of the
German consul at Borden, the evidence
of the Crathie's crew could not be OBJ
tanned. Some of the men had refused
to make any statement, but the captain
admitted that soundings with the lead
after the collision proved that the Crathie
was not making any water. Paymaster
Werner was certain he saw third boat
get away from the Elbe; it was full, and
the occupants afterward were heard call
ing to attract the attention of the fish
ing boat. Other witnesses confirmed
this, some adding that later they saw
the boat bottom upward. Herr Rom
berg, representing the German govern
ment, said the court would adjourn
until the sworn statements of the
Crathie sailors were received.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 27.-William
J. Hurley, the ex-policeman who is
charged with attempting to bride a
member of the jury which recently tried
"Dick' Mcdonald, the bank-wrecker,
created scene when the trial began in
the superior court this morning. Hur-
lev denounced Judge Wallace for refus-
ing to grant him continuance, and his
own lawyers, whom he charged with be-
ing against him, and who had, he al
legged, attempted to extort a confession
of guilt from him. For several days
Hurley has been feigning insanity.
Last week jury of doctors declared he
was only shamming insanity. After a
Jury had been secured and the trial of
the case actually begun, Hurley created
a genuine sensation. Against the ad-
vice of counsel he went Cd the witness
stand and made a clean breast OF his
connection with the attempt to bride
jurors. He implicated Deputy Sheriff
hOCk, WIZ was Gus piCiOh "o oiiS
time of Hurley's arrest, and also Harry
Piper, chief deputy county clerk. Hur-
ley swore that II. r. Mcdonald had Of
fered him $500 for each juror that he
could induce to vote for acquittal. He
then went to Deputy Sheriff Rock, he
said, and they agreed to manage the job
together, Rock agreeing to summon the
men to be named by Hurley. Hurley
declared that Livernash, McDonald's at
torney, had told the whole truth about
the matter, but, despite Livernash's as
sertion to the contrary, he insisted that
Mcdonald had promised him $500 for
each juror. A juror asked Hurley
whether he had ever been in the jury
bribing business before. Hurley, it will
be remembered, was the one juror who
stood out for acquittal on the trial OF
Actor Curtis for the murder of Police
man Grant. His reply to the query
was:
Never in my life. People thought l
was because l stood for acquittal in the
Curtis case, but that was all wrong.
Harry Piper offered me $1,000 for hold
ing out, but 1 never received cent"
This ended Hurley's testimony.

Emma Rice and Lottie Sinclair the
Only Two Now In the Penitentiary.
SALEM, March 26.-In a medium sized
room comfortably furnished, on the sec
ond floor of the Oregon penitentiary are
confined the only two female convicts of
the state-Emma Rice and Lottie Sim
clair. Both were sent from Multnomah
county for terms of two years each.
Though thrown in close relations by be-
ing confined to the same narrow limits
these characters are widely different.
They are not required to wear stripes
nor labor. Both have common school
education, and the only means of diver
sion they have is reading books fur
nished from the prison library. Emma
Rice is So years DID,. She is bearing
her incarceration with apparent ease,
showing no evidences of conquered
spirit. She is buoyed with the hope
that she has a friend on the outside,
and that, within twenty-four hours after
recrossing the prison threshold, she will
become second wife. Lottie is only %
years old, of different temperament,
and prison life is wearing heavily upon
her. She frequently is heard to mutter:
ooh, if l only had work to do to keep
my mind engaged and be prepared to
earn something when l get out. Con-
fined to this room with nothing to do but
think, think, the mind can but dwarf

Governor McGraw, of Washington, Has
Vetoed Two More Bills.
OLYMPIA, Wash, March 2S.-Govern-
or McGrcw has completed the arduous
task OF approving or disappearing the
measures passed by the last legislature.
The following bills were approved:
Senate bills No. 2S9, amending the act
for appraising and disposing of tide and
shore lands; No. loo, making appropri-
atoms for sundry deficiencies of various
institutions; No. 361, providing for the
management and disposition of state
lands; house bill No. 1913, making an
appropriation for the erection of build
lngs Tor the state university.
Inc governor has disapproved house
Dill NO. 656, relating to justices of the
peace and constables in cities of over
1900 inhabitants. The governor saws:
Should this bill become a law, in
every case, whether civil or criminal,
before justice of the peace in cities of
the frst class change of venue would
OF necessity send the parties litigant to
the justice of the peace in the nearest
country precinct, thereby greatly in
creasing the cost of litigation to the par
ties, as well as to the taxpayers. The
courts of the justices of the peace have
been aptly styled poor mans courts
and to subject poor litigants to increased
cost and the inconvenience of country
precincts for trial would be to deprive
them of rights which are sacred. More
over, am convinced that in fairly busy
times one justice of the peace would be
able to transact the business that would
arise in any of our cities of the first
class"
In his veto of house bill No. 5O4, to
provide Huntley's code to justices of the
peace, the governor says it is to be pre-
sumed that the majority of the justices
are already supplied with codes, and the
present act would simply result in fur
nishing each justice with an extra copy
free. The proposed law in no way pro-
vides that the copies supplied shall be-
long to the offices and not to the officers.
The measure would have been more
worthy of consideration had it declared
that the codes should be furnished to
offices not already supplied, but it is
neither wise nor economical to supply
$4,000 worth of codes to existing JUS
tees.

The Affair of Fifty-ave.

MADRID, March 26.-In an article IN
reference to the Alliance affair the
Epoca publishes the notes that were e1-
changed between Spain and the United
States in 1856, when the latter country
contended that the Spanish man-of-war
Ferrolana searched the American mail
steamer Eldorado on the open sea at q
distance of over eight miles from the
Cuban coast. This question was settled
amicably. The Epoca adds that q copy
of the instructions then sent to the war
shins guarding the Cuban coast ordered,
firstly. that whenever warship sighted
a suspicious vessel it was to follow her
until her cargo and intentions were
ascertained, and secondly, whenever
suspicious vessel entered Cuban waters,
the warship, if powerful enough, should
search her, Selling or sinking her if che
resisted, when there was proof that she
was on filibustering expedition.
