Bright faced, happy rollicking, playful babies, thousands of them all over the broad land, have in their bodies the seeds of serious diseases, and while they laugh and play are facing death. The mother, in the majority of cases, is unconsciously re- sponsible for this sad state of affairs. Where the mother, during the anxious period, suf- fers from weakness and disease of the dis tinctly feminine organism, it is useless to woman may be strong in womanly way, and have robust, happy children.
 A wonderful medicine for women is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It is the discovery of an eminent and skillful spe- cialist, Dr. R. V. Pierce, for thirty years chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. It is medicine that acts directly and only on those delicate and important organs that bear the burdens of maternity It makes them strong, healthy and elastic. It ailays inflammation, heals alteration, stops facilitating drains and soothes pain. It gives rest and tone to the tired nerves. It fits for wifehood and motherhood It does away with the discomforts of the expectant pericd and makes baby's coming easy and omparatively painless. Honest druggists will not offer an inferior substitute for the sake of little extra profit.

STEAMER HEsPER1DEs WRECKED
She is Probably Total Loss Off Cape Hatteras

Norfolk. Va, Oct. 1.-The steamship Hesperides is ashore on Outer Diamond Shoals. off Cape Hatteras, and the Ves- sel will be a total loss with her cargo of pig iron. She was bound from Cuba to Baltimore and struck the shoals dur ing q dense fog which hung about the coast so thick that the crew were not taken off until late yesterday afternoon, after they had been clinging to the wreck for several hours. There is no hope of saving the ship, although tugs will attempt the task.

MRS. PINKHAM'S STANDING
 INVITATION.

Women suffering from any form of female eweakness areinvited topromptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are re- ceived, opened, read, and answered by women only. A woman can freely talk of her private illness to woman. Thus has been established the eternal confidence between Mrs. Pinllham and the women of America which has never been broken. Out of the vast volume of experience which she has to draw from, it is more than possible that she has gained the very knowledge that will help your case. She asks nothing in return except your good will, and her advice has relieved thousands. Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish if she does not take advantage of this generous offer of assistance.

Stop! Women,

And consider that in addressing Mrs. Pinkham you arc confding your private ills to a woman-a woman whose eX- perience in treating woman's diseases is greater than that of any living phy- sician, male or female.
 You can talk freely to woman when 1t is revolting to relate your private troubles to man; besides, D man does not understand, simply because he isa man.

Apple Growing in the Arkansas
Valley,

An eminent horticulturist once said:
God could have made better fruit than
the strawberry, but He never did" And
it is my belief that God could have made
a better place for growing apples than
the Arkansas Valley in Colorado, but il
He did we hive never found that place.
There is probably no place in the
United States where larger number of
varieties can be grown more successfully
than in the Arkansas Valley, but our
horticulturists are making the mistake OF
planting too many varieties.
Downing catalogues over 1900 varie-
ties OF apples and believe that 30 per
cent OF them could bo grown successfully
here, but it is self-evident fact that a 10
acre orchard of 1000 trees and 1000 varie-
ties would not be as profitable as the
same number Of trees all OF ono variety.
We must first End the best varieties,
and then consldcr which Of them will
yield the best return for the labor and
capital invested in them. After ~ years
experience and observation along these,
lines, il I was planting 10 acres or 1000
acres, would not plant over five varie-
ties, and those would be, Wine Sap, Ben
Davis, Jonathan, York Imperial and
Missouri Pipin.. would plant 15x30
feet, using the Missouri Pipin for Gllers,
and I would plant. as many Missouri
Pipin as all the other varieties combined.
All these apples are early and abundant
bearers; all are red apples and fairly
good keepers, md none Of them are in.
jured to any extent by tho blight.
The Wine Sap Inns brought higher
prices in the market in the past two years
than any other western apple except tho

Gently continued its depredntions un.
checked. It is now known, however,
that the disease cnn be checked by eim-
ply cutting ont the affected parts, md
burning while the trees are dormant thus
exterminating the microbe which causes
it. Not single case OF active blight
should be allowed to survive the winter
in the orchard or within half mile or
80 from it. The orchardist should not
stop short OF absolute destruction in ev-
cry case, for few overlooked may go q
long way toward undoing all his work
The character and identity OF various
worms was discussed.
A. O. Conner said that light at night
would attract thousands OF millers md
lie thought this good wny to destroy
them.
a. P. Kouns suid this was wrong rs
all bugs were not injurious to farmcrs
some bugs feed on tho eggs Of tho injuri-
ous bugs and indiscriminate killing was
wrong. Better 60 slow and know what
you're doing.
W r. Gibson said the lady bugs wore
the gardeners friends, but night flying
bugs were generally injurious.
II. +. Hagen said that when he took
his lantern ont among his Buii Cochins
they had picnic on tho bugs, and sug-
gested that two birds might be killed
| with one stone.
A. P. Kouns' cantaloupes had been
troubled by very small bug last year.
Chairman Kellogg suggested that when
any new bug appeared it should be sent
to the agricultural college for report on
its character and habits.
II. F. Hagen's paper on "Farm Bee
Culture" was received with evidences Of
marked interest. It, with the other pa.
pers mentioned, goes over to next week

umns for local news.

Frank Crowley told how bees could be

w. r. Gibson said to spray trees when

tive to bees.
J. =. Crowley said TINT bill had been

When the elections committee
made their report the senate de-
cided the Dameron-Swink contest
by voting almost unanimously to
seat Senator Swink. The commit
tee recommended that the contest
be dismissed unless the senate de-
cidcd to send for the ballot boxes
and count the. ballots, but it was
decided that this could not be done,
as there had been no evidence to
establish the presumption that
was any fraud. A great many of
the senators talked in favor of the
report, and then Senator Seldom
ridge started the opposition by
declaring lie was in favor of send
ing for the ballot boxos. He got
five votes in his favor, and then
the report was adopted and Sena-

he could have written dandy paper on
the subject. But his experience mad
shown lin a wonderful difference be.
tween theory and practice. It is difficult
10 lay down rules, us conditions vary SO
Greatly. Were he to give detailed des-
cription Of how he raises cantaloupes his
directions might be followed by. some
growers and when they made failure
fhey would accuse him OF being disci-
ciple of Ananias.
Il. j. Britt was not present to open the

Mr.. Crowley suid the earlier planting
should be shallower, the later, deeper.
NJ. Badgers experience with eastern
seed was not satisfactory.
P. X. Blinn said ho had good results
from eastern seeds.
A. G. Conner said save seed from the
earliest ripening melons. Too early
planting does not hasten maturity. 10

tions must be studied.

EXPENSIVE GRATITUDE.-In one
of the Western States an exciting
murder was in progress. 1t hap
pened that the attorney for the de-
Tense had in his employ a colored
porter, who naturally became very
much interested in the case.
When the jury retired he awaited
their return with feverish impati-
ence. At last, after several hours,
they came in with a verdict of "not
guilty" At the announcement
the negro's self-control deserted
him entirely, and he cried out
"Thank de lord"
The judge Immediately called
him up and fined him ten dollars
for contempt for Court. The poor
fellow was nearly scared to death,
but after he recovered from hi:
fright he remarked "Dis heah
am funny country when you hal
to pay ten dollars for thankin' dc

SIR ISAAC NEwToN's WooING.
1t is said of Sir Isaac Newton
that he did once in his life 60
"a-wooing," and as was to be ex-
pected, had the greatest attention
paid to the little peculiarities which
ever accompany great genius.
Knowing he was fond of smok-
ing, the lady provided him with
pipe, and they were then seated as
il to open the business Of Cupid.
Sir Isaac smoked few whiffs, seemed
at loss for something to say, whitfield
again, and at last drew his chair
nearer the lady; pause of few
minutes ensued. Sir Isaac seemed
more uneasy.
ooh, the timidity of some men ~
thought the lady.
When 10 :! Sir Isaac took the
lady's hand, whitfield with redoubled
fury, and drew the captive hand
nearer his head. Already the ex-
pected salute had vibrated from the
hand to the heart, when-pity the
fair damsel, gentle readers--Sir
Isaac raised the fair hand and used
her foreinger to push down the to-
bacco in his pipe!

Dangers Of the Grip.

The greatest danger from La Grippe
is of its resulting in pneumonia. If
reasonable care is used, however, and
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken. all
danger will be avoided. Among the
tens of thousands who have used this
remedy for la grippe, we have yet to
learn of a single case having resulted in
pneumonia, which shows conclusively
that this remedy is a certain preventive
of that dread disease. 1t will effect a
permanent cure in less time than any
other treatment. The % and 80 cent
