Vegetable Compound.
Interview with Mrs. h. A. Lombard.

Ihave reason to think that would

Lydia 4. Pinkham's Vegetable Com

In my womb.
Doctors could do nothing for me, and
they could not cure me at the hospital.
] will tell you about 1t:
had been in my usual health, hut
had worked quite hard. When nv
monthly period came on, flowed very
badly. The doctor gave me medicine,
but IL did me no good. He said the
now must be stopped IL possible, and
he must find the cause of my trouble.
Upon examination, he found there
was Nbroid Tumor in my womb, and
gave me treatment without any benefit
whatever. About that time q lady
called on me, and recommended Lydia
e. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound,
said she owed her life to it, 1
said would try it, and did. Soon
after the flow became more natural and
regular. still continued taking the
Compound for some time. Then the
doctor made an examination again,
and found everything all right. The
tumor had passed away and that dull
ache was gone.-MRs. B. A. LOMBARD.

To the Editor of tie Indianapolis Journa4'
This Ject was discussed at the CONNER
cial Clubs dinner Wednesday night of
this week The material presented was in
teresting from beginning to end-from the
talk of Admiral Brown to the witty and
entertaining speech of DR.. Haines. There
was nothing said, however, that impressed
me more forcibly than the remarks of
Clarence A. Kenyon in regard to keeping
model city clean. One of the most i'm
portant recommendations made by him to
the Board of Public Works follows:
'All-day hitching on the streets should be
stopped; the streets not stables. and no
one has the right to use them as Such.'
Men who rent business rooms are greatly
annoyed by this practice, which the owners
of buildings lind it Impossible to prevent.
in many cases horses are blanketed and are
left with the vehicles standing all Day so
that some pal is of The city, notably North
pennsylvania and Washington streets, the
horses and vehicles are so numerous as to
make an appearance similar to what is seen
in the nelgnborhood of every courthouse in
the whole country, and making a nuisance
almost beyond endurance TO business men,
who are entitled to, but do not receive any
protection from the police. Until such viii
lage customs are abolished Indianapolis can
never be model city-never anything but
an oVergrown country town.
Again, this can never be made a model
city so long as It's people are forced to sub
NIT to unnecessary noises, the changing OF
bells and similar ear-spntting devices. Not
seldom is wagon drawn through the down
town streets with a great bell yielding loud
discordant sounds for the sole purpose of
advertising that some nincompoop is to
make a political speech at a shady corner
in the suburbs. Worse yet, because more
frequent are the fire bells-a nuisance to
those who live near them of the most pro-
nounced character. Not long since a Phia-
Gelphia gentleman seriously asked a citizen
"a physician-if Indianapolis had not a
1oV~c 1aaf r1fn holm 20 he
contrary he apOlogiZed by saying that he
supposed there were many funerals because
of the frequent tolling of bells, and ex-
pressed surprise when told that this was a
system for fire alarms.
Some months since / addressed letter to
Mayor Taggart on this subject, requesting a
trial of the quiet system of signals which
was done, to the great relief of a large ma
jOrity of citizens. However, some esteemed
gentlemen friends of mine on South Me-
ridian street sent in a petition to return to
the noisy method, alleging their inability TO
know the location of fire that might en-
danger their property unless so informed.
Surely there must be some other and better
way than the changing of bells to notify a
citizen of the location of a fire. some
method which will bear less on the nervous
system Such disturbing sounds at all hours
of the night are peculiar to this so-called
model city. What is needed is less politics
and more sound business principles

Canal Commission Preparing to Sail
from New York Next Week.

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-Three employees of
the Nicaragua Canal Commission will leave
with large quantity of provisions mate
rails and other outfit for the commission's
use, on the Atlas liner Adirondack, which
sails tomorrow for Port Limon. They will
start in advance of the commission, so as
to have things ready by the time its MEM
bers arrive. The commission, which was
appointed by President Mckinley last
summer, consists of Rear Admiral John G..
Walker, representing the navy; Col Peter
Haines, for the United States army, and
Prof. Lewis NJ Haupt, a civilian. They are
to survey a route for the proposed Mica
raguan canal.
Rear Admiral Walker said to-day that
the commissioners would leave here some
time next week. or, at the latest, before Dec
l. He said, further:e I'VE shall go on the
gunboat Newport, which is now at the
work any amount of instruments; in short
a complete supply of everything which
foresight suggests that we shall need. We
expect to take about forty men, with US,
but little or no freight, as the Newport Is
a small boat. The white labor we shall
take with US, but at Nicaragua we shall
employ considerable native labor, so as TO
bring our total Number of laborerS up TO
about two hundred. How long we shall be
engaged at the work cannot say. A tnor-
ough survey will be made from the eastern
coast to the western. OF course, other
routes have been surveyed before, but we
shall proceed Independently OF them, Sc
Iecting such route for the canal as In our
Judgment is best.

by the marriage of his slayer, Quincy Rees,
70 Nellie Fry the girl on account of whom
the tragedy resulted. Prior to the tragedy
which this marriage recalls Miss Nellie Fry,

girls in the village of Falmouth, had both
Rees and Knots as lovers. The girl was I'M

his life. The young men were on bad terms,
and one night in Falmouth they came to-

and in the melee Knots was stabbed in the

The crime was committed OH the line divid-

DEADLY DUEL in TEXAS
THREE PROMINENT CITIZENS SHOOT
WITH SERIOUS EFFECTS.
An Editor and a Judge Probably Fa-
tally Wounded and the Formers
Brother KiIIed-NegrO Boy Hit.

WACO, Tex. Nov 19.-J. w. Harris, edi-
tor of the Waco Times-Herald, morning
paper, and w. A. Harris his brother, on
one side. and Judge G. B. Gerald a prom
inent citizen fought duel to the death on
the street tonight at o'clock w. A.
Harris was shot dead, ]. w. Harris wound
ed fatally, his body beirg paralyzed, and
Gerald shot in the side and may die. The
trouble was the outcome of the mobbing
of w. c. Brann, publisher of the Icono-
clast.
Judge Gerald was an ex-county judge and
one of Waco's most prominent citizens. He
had written a bitter criticism on Baylor
University with reference to the recent
mobbing of w. c. Brann, and had filed 1t
with Editor Harris for publication. After
wards he asked to have his manuscript
returned and became incensed at the edi~
tors delay in complying. Bad feeling re-
suited, and when Judge Gerald was cross
ing the street, at the corner of Fourth and
Austin streets, at o'clock, Editor Harris
came out of a drug store and opened fire
on him. Gerald Immediately drew his re-
volver and returned the fire. Hearing the
shots, w. A. Harris came on the scene and
took a hand in the fusillade, shooting Gerald
from behind. Gerald pursued him into the
drug store, shooting as he ran Harris fell
to the floor with the words; You shot me
in the back" He emptied the remaining
charges in his weapon into the PROSTATE
form of his victim, killing him on the
spot. Gerald then left the scene. A little
colored boy, who stood near, was shot in
the leg by a stray bullet.
Editor Harris was carried into the drug
store by friends. His wife and daughter
were notified and were soon at his side.
The scene was pitiful-the wife and daugh-
ter weeping while the husband and father
lay PROSTATE, unable to move muscle of
his body or speak. His wind pipe had been
severed by a bullet, which injured his
spinal column. He was removed to his
home, but cannot live. Judge Gerald was
wounded in tbs neck and side. While seri-
Gus, his wounds cannot be said to be neceS-
sarily fatal. The excitement is very great,
and public opinion seems to be divided.

the forgiveness of the church at the regu-

ITO Paramount Quarterly Meeting-I have

of our State and also broke the command
which says, Touch not that that is not

possible now with God and man. 1 know
my Heavenly Father has forgiven me, and
l also ask the church to pass it by"
The meeting accepted the acknowledge
ment and granted him forgiveness. 1t has
now become well-known fact among par
ties who are on the inside that Rush in his
confession has implicated parties who are
innocent. He has acknowledged such to
prominent men here in the presence of wit
nesses, and they will make affidavit to the
statement, provided they are called on to do
so. The mill is slowly grinding, and mean
while the people are keeping a sharp look
out for anything new that may show up,
