Ledgue-DEAR SIR AND CoMRADE: Your letter

regard to Lincoln day in schools, but l do
not altogether agree with your opinion as TO
the date. 1t might be well this year 10 observe
the 2Sth day OF Nav for a Lincoln monument
day but should much prefer, If such dsy
Is esta blished, that II should be either Febru-
ary II or April ID. The reasons are obvious.
The school hildren of Indianapolis have
furnished the flowers for Memorial day for
mum Der of years. and / think it is almost
general practice throughout the State and the
country. One of the fundamental principles
OF the Womans Relief Corps is to inculcste
lessons OF patriotism and love of country
among our children. BY resolution passed
in the National Convention in 1898 an active
crusade on that line was begun. You will now
lind almost every corps at work introducing
patriotic Sal ut9s, patriotic primers and charts
into our pub tic schools
Hoping III at you will meet with the greatest
success in your efforts to secure for Golden
Gate Park monument 10 Lincoln, am yours,
respec ~fully, AGNES HIT,
National President, w. X. C,

Peter Donahue, who leaves on Thursday
for an extended European trip, was the
guest of honor at dinner given last even
ing by Mr.. and Mrs. w. d. O'Kane at
their elegant home on Broadly way.
The guests were seated at round table
that glittered with wealth of silverware,
Bohe mian glass and an exquisite faience.
In the center of the table was a circular
bed of deep pink roses, intermingIea with
maidenhaIr and delicate fern.
The menu was in keeping with the ex-
quisite appointments. Covers were laid
for ten.

Devlin to CALL representative this even

matter thought. This is something
new, is it not? have not even heard the
matter discussed. Ofcourse, as lawyer,
when jury and court, after careful ex.
animation into the testimony adduced
pro ana con in case, find the defendant
guilty, believe the sentence of the court
should be carried out; that is speaking in
a general way.
About this particular case l can only

the cutting out of the ovary.
Yes, you will recover, at least hope
you will; but you will never be quite

the ovaries is fatal to health. If YOU

in time take a medicine of specific

than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, prepared especially to meet
the needs of woman's sexual system.
You can get it at any good druggists.

how she was cured of ovarian trouble !:

out of bed if his breakfast doesn't taste
good if he feels utterly incapable of work,
it is a pretty sure sign that his digestion is
out of order that his principal trouble is
constipation. If he lets this condition run
on, there is no telling where it will stop.
Nine tenths of all human sickness comes
from constipation. The first thing that
every doctor asks when he is called to see
patient is whether the bowels are in good
order. 1t is nonsense to call doctor for
such simple thing. 1t is nonsense to let
such a simple thing grow into such serious
thing, as it always does If neglected DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure constipation
They not only afford immediate and pleas
ant relief from all the distressing sy1np-
toms, but they cure permanently and posi-
lively There are 10, 600 medicines that can
be taken, to give temporary relief The
Pleasant Pellets" are the only things that
really cure.
There are plenty of druggists who will
try to sell you something else. You know
just as well as we do that an honest
druggist wouldn't do such a thing -
that an honest druggist would give you

druggist insists on giving you something
else, there must be a reason for 1t. We
know what that reason is-he makes big
ger profit on the other thing Any drug

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, July 22.-This was
Governors day at the interstate drill and a
large crowd attended The chief attrac-
tions were the contest drills for the inter-
state championship by the Governors
Guard, of Austin, Tex, and the Morton
Cadets, of Washington, D. c. Both COM
panes underwent a rigid inspection in the
morning and drilled in the afternoon. The
Governors Guard inspection was almost
perfect. The Mortons' inspection was per-
feet so far as uniforms, gums and accoutre-
ments were concerned, but the men did not
handle themselves as we'll as was expected
Four of the men tainted and were taken
off the field. In the drill, however the
Mortons showed up SUperbiy ana went
through the programme almost without an
error. Their drill is regarded as the pest
thus far and if their inspection does not
count too heavily against them they are
almost certain of winning first place. The
Turf Exchange, which has book on the
drill, refused all bets on the MOrtOns after
their drill. -Four companies of United
States soldiers, under comand Of Lieutenant
Colonel Whiteside, Fifth Cavalry, gave an
extended order and calisthenic drill to

A disastrous rate war between the steam
ship lines running from New York to Gal
weston, Tex, is in progress The war has
come to such a pass that some Of the
steamship lines threaten to carry cotton
from Galveston to New York gratis. While
the shippers have been reaping a golden
harvest from the war, the railroads have
been heavy losers The Southwestern Traf-
fic Association officials and representatives
of the steamship lines held conference in
New York yesterday, with a view of MAX
ing peace, but the meeting was not har-
monious. A prominent railroad man who
was not present at the meeting. but who
was IN conference with the Representatives
OF the southwestern freight bureau after
ward, SAID that 1T meant retaliation of the
railroads.
And when the railroads get into fight. -
ne SAID 1t will not De railroads against
railroads, but railroads against steamships
and 1t is easy to see the finish of the steam
boats. The railroads did not meet with
the steamship men to coerce them or do
anything they did not care to do, but to
prevent widespread and unreasonable cut
ting of rates that would benefit no one. "
Mr.. Allen of the Cromwell line, Mr.. Haw-
ley of the Morgan line and Mr.. Mallory OF
the Mallory line refused to talk
AS Chicago is affected by the rate war,
the Southwestern Association will in all
probability receive assistance from the
Western Traffic Association. and a slash
ing merry time is ahead. The roads run
ming into and oentefed at st. Louis and
Kansas City. such as the Missouri Pacific,
the Kansas Pacific, Fort Scott 81 Gulf, the
Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf and others,
will go into any agreement that the South
western people will enter. The Lone Star
steamship people are chucking in their
sleeves as they see the positions that the
railroads are forced into, and they laugh
over the probability of making them allies
in their fight against the steamship pool
from New York to the Gulf OF Mexico.
II is said that the promised reduction will
affect all schedules
