Taken under medical direction, in con-
nection with the right medicine, they
will help effect cure. No women who
suffers at all from so-ca1led "female weak
ness - should attempt athletics of any
sort. She should first put herself into
possession of strong and hearty health by
taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
After she is thoroughly well, exercise and
diversion will help to keep her well. The
cure should come first. DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription is designed and rec
onnended for only the one thing. It
acts directly upon one set of organs. No
matter what is the matter with them, it
will cure it. 1t will not cure anything
else. 1t is wholesome tonic, an invig-
Grating neryine, or nerve-food as well as
healing medicine, and thousands of
perfectly well women have found that by
taking it regularly during the period of
pregnancy, the danger and pain of par
turition were much iessened, and in
many cases, almost entirely obviated.

CUBA WILL BE FREE.
Spain Is to Cease HostiIities After Next
March.

| March
CADIz, Oct. 15.-If Spain has not put
down the insurrection in Cuba by the
1st of March, it is the intention of the
government t. give up the struga lie
and let the island go. The signifi-
canoe of this statement, coming direct
from an officer of rank in the Spanish
army, within the week, must certainly
be regarded as of no little Importance.
The above determination is an open
secret among those who are close to
the government, and it Is said that the
policy is being adopted of exaggerat-
| ing the magnitude of the trouble in
the Philippine islands with a view of
preparing the people for the ultimate
design letting Cuba go.
BY way of further corroboration of
this estimate of the situation it may be
remarked that while Spain is sending
more than 200, 900 troops to Cuba, who
are in the main very young and un-
disciplined, she is carefully keeping
her SO. 900 0well-disciplined and efficient
soldiers who may be available in case
of an outbreak at homo. She is al o
keeping in Spanish waters IL warships
which are ready for sea, and which
could be of great service in Cuban
waters in aiding the United States in
that police work which she now asks
that country to do for her.
w. G. Foster, manager of the East
ern Telegraph Company here, speak
ing of the situation, said:
"There is no question that the gov
ernment is trying to use the Philippine
islands troubles to distract the peoples
attention from Cuba. There is no
doubt that Spain intends to do hel ut.
most to crush the Cuban insurrection
between now and March. Failing in
that, am informed that she will give
up the struggle.
IAN important Issue is the fact that
Cuba has debt of $500, ,000. 900, and that
if Spain puts down the iusurrectien,
Cuba will have 20 Fay that debt, where
as if Cuba wins, the payment of that
debt will fall on Spain, who contracted
it on behalf of Caba. Naturally the
planters who have been driven from
the half-ruined plantations, however
loyal they may appear to be to Spain,
really want to see the Cubans succeed,
as in that case they would not be taxed |
by Spain to pay the interest on the |
debt, and could then start again under
more favorable auspices"

BUSINESS IMPROVING.
Western Roads Buster Than For Six
Months Past.

Months Past.
CHICAGO, Oct. 13.-The higher pri-
ces for grain and the chance of an ele-
vation of freight rates in the near
future have had quickening effect on
freight handled by Western roads.
They are now handling more traffic
than at any time for the past six
months. The rush of corn to the East
has become so great as to prove
seriouSembarrass to some of the
roads, because of their inability to
procure cars TO handle the stuff as
rapidly as it is offered,

whelming majority. 1t now looks as
if Mckinley would not get a single
state outside of New England.
The New York World which has
been a Mckinley organ in the cam
paign, in an open letter addressed to
Mr.. Mckinley, acknowledges that he
is beaten and that Bryan will be
elected.
They call that man a statesman
whose ear is tuned to catch the slight
est pulsation of pocketbook, and de-
nounce as demagogue any one who
dares to listen to the heart beats of
humanity.-William ]. Bryan.
If, as Matt Quay says, the election of
Mckinley and Hobart is assured, and
that they will surely receive 270 votes
of electoral college, why are the re-
publican managers wasting their val
liable time and money carrying the
campaign further?
Those who vote for party and not for
what the party and its candidates
stand for may not vote for the Bryan
electors in Oregon. However, there
are those who care nothing for the
