Sabbath day procession of motherless
children that goes to the cemetery to put
flowers on na-na's grave " would be ma
terially reduced in numbers. Too many
women bring a child into the world at the
sacrifice of their own life. This sad trag-
edy may be avoided by any women who
will resort to the right remedy.
The usual dangers of maternity are BAN
ished by the use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. 1t acts directly and only on
the important and delicate organs that
bear the burdens of motherhood. 1t
makes them healthy and strong, vigorous
and elastic. 1t does away with the dis
comforts of the expectant period, insures
the health of the newcomer, and makes
its advent free from danger and almost
free from pain. Over 10000 have test
fed to its virtues. Druggists who offe-
substitutes are untrustworthy.
Mrs. William Vincent, of Sidnaw, Houghton
Co Mich (care Birgland's Camp. Box B), writes:

"No, my dear; did not" he admit

"Then," she said reproachfully, "my

to please me and were ever on the

"You were never lazy then," she
went on "You were full of life and
spirits; you were energetic. ("
"Quite true" he said.
"If you love me now as much as you

"Of course.
"But does he continue jumping after

SAN MIGUEL. May 16.-Never in the

stirred up as by the assault upon Fred
reika Judy, the 1S-year-old daughter of
Rev. Martin Judy, pastor Of the First
Methodist church hkre, by Patrick Fla

party whose picnic was disturbed by the
appearance of Fredreika's alleged as
sailant on the banks of the Salinas river.
He was hurriedly taken to the town
Jail and locked up. Rumors Of the out
rage quickly spread, and in remarka-

outside the Jail. No general demonstra-
ton was made, individual members Of
the crowd giving vent to an occasional
cry of Lynch the brute" and Hang

GOVERNMENT SEED
Beet Seed All Planted-Supplies for
the Flood Sufferers

WASHINGTON, May 16.-The sugar
beet seed which the agricultural de-
partment has been distributing is prac-
tically exhausted, about 10000 pounds
having been sent out to farmers in about
four-fifths of the states. The seed has
been distributed in packages of from one
ounce to half a pound, purely for ex-
perimental purposes. The beets grown
from the seed will be analyzed and the
saccharine matter determined to ascer-
tain where beets can be profitably
grown for the production of sugar. These
experiments, it is said, will be of i'm
mense value, as the beet undoubtedly
can be produced with profit in many Of
the states. Wherever it can be so pro-
duced it will give the farmers new
crop. The surplus vegetable seed in the
possession of the agricultural depart
ment is being distributed through con-
gressmen or government agency to the
people in the flooded districts along the
Mississippi, for planting as soon as the
waters subside.

late Mayor RAIDER, is here supposedly to

From Southern California there is quite

The American club, the secretary of
which is a San Diego boy. and lawyer by
profession. named Neale, now numbers
over 275 members. 1t is housed in magnifi-
cent quarters, and the decorations, both
inside and out. on the 9Th, were elaborate
and exceedingly tasteful. The rooms were
thrown open to the wives and friends of
the members on that day, and many
availed themselves of the opportunity to
form private dinner parties. Everybody
who comes to Mexico visits the club rooms
and registers.
The club will tender General Powell Clay
ton. the new United States minister, a BAN
quet shortly. This is customary.
In answer to number of letters from
American workingmen about the chances
Of obtaining employment in this city, will
say that they are exceedingly small This
is not the country for a man without cap
ital. Labor is cheap. both in price and
quality, and plenty. With capital, brains
and muscle combined the chances are
good, and success almost certain. 1t is the
home of individualism, for the blighting
hand of monopoly has not yet been placed
in control of the industries, nor has the
cruel spirit of trusts crushed out personal

were unable to find land. They had no
provisions and they suffered greatly
from the cold and drenching rain. About
noon they heard the fog horn at the
entrance of the harbor of st. Pierre, and,
their way toward the port, were
