to undergo the operation of ovariotomy,
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

than Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable

the needs of woman's sexual system.
You can get it at any good druggists.
Following we publish a letter from
a woman in Milwaukee, which relates
how she was cured of ovarian trouble:
"Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-I suffered with
congestion of the ovaries and inhamma-
ton of the womb. Ihad been troubled
with suppressed and painful menstrual
ton from a girl. The doctors told me
the oyaries would have to be removed.
took treatment two years to escape
an operation, but still remained in mis-
cradle health in both body and mind, ex-
pecting to part with my reason each
coming month. After using one bottle
of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and apackage of Sanative Wash
Twas very much relieved. l continued
to use your remedies until cured. The
last nine months have been passed in
perfect good health. This, Il know, l owe
entirely to the Vegetable Compound.

one to whom so many women owe their
health and happiness. "-MRs. F. M.

Republican is by all odds the most COM
plete publication of the sort ever issued
by western publishing house. The Re-
publican is journal that has always
been conducted on broad lines. If the
lamented Charlie Wilke-son and the be-
loved Gene Field, who made it so at the
very beginning, were alive to-day they
would have no cause for criticism of the
present excellent management. The
whole Rocky mountain region ia fairly
dealt with in the New Year edition of the
Republican, and the circulation of the
thousands of copies that have gone to

Farming I'm New Mexico.

Wheat is quoted in Chicago at SO cents
and corn at 80. That means on the
Nebraska farm about 30 and 10 cents re-
spectiyely. just here is where the farmer
in the arid region beats his eastern con.
temporary. AS the larger part of the
people in the arid belt do not farm, and
can not for lack of water, there is little
competition. The people of the mines,
the cattle ranches and the towns eagerly
buy all the farm products. The supplies
from the east have heavy freight charges
added, often largely in excess of their
original value. The corn that sells for Is
cents per bushel may bring in the west rs
cents per bushel. The farmer only has to
meet the rate in order to control the home
markets. Eddy Argus.

Treasurer Gilmore has been deputy
treasurer in charge of the Office for the
past two years. Probate Judge Williams
and Commissioner Chisum have each
served two terms in their respective of
fees. W. G. Urton has been commits
sloner by appointment since Haynes ap-
pointment to the sheriff's office, and
Commissioner Atkinson has had four
years experience in the sheriff's Office
and is fully on to his duties. 1t may be
said that they are old officers with new
commissions. We can all sleep sound

fairs are in good hands.-Roswell Record.

PRESS COMMENT.
In santa Fe County Also.

There are leaks at every point, and the
aggregate of the waste is actually appall-
ing. 1t is great enough to render the
condition of some of our counties abso-
lutely hopeless under the present sys-
tenn. In our own county, for instance,
the amount that is annually voted by the
board of mmissioners on account of
the general expense of the county is al
most 100 per cent greater than the
amount levied and collected for that pur-
pose. And this discrepancy is lnoreas-
ing rapidly every year, because our evil
dences of Indebtedness are steadily and
rapidly dapreoiating in value. We are
obliged to pay now twice as much for
everything we buy as is paid by those
who buy for cash, because our "scrip" is
only worth about 80 cents, and every
year makes the matter worse.--Albu-
querque Democrat.

M'kINLEy AND SILVER.

There is nothing to bring a blush of
surprise to the cheek of bimetallists in
the news from Canton. II seems that
Senator Wolcott, of Colorado, called up.
on the president-elect and learned that he
favored the project of an international
conference looking to bimetallism, and
was determined that the promises made
! to the people to that effect in the Repub-
licsn platform shall be carried out. In
commenting on this subject the New
York Journal very sensibly says: 1t was
generally understood during the cam
psign that Major Mckinley was gold
man for vote-getting purposes merely,
and that in secret he stood by his record
az a silver man. But the information
that we are likely to have an information
al conference, if not surprising, is highly
gratifying to all those who have the in
forests of the people at heart. If We can
not secure independent bimetallism,
which would be a good thing, for four
years to come, that lie no reason why we
should not all together strive for inter-
national bimetallism, which would be a
better thing, when there is a prospect of
securing that. We may have our doubts
about the possibility of success, but we
should not cease working for it until
every resource has been exhausted and
10 know absolutely that success is i'm.
possible.
< 1t is the duty of all bimetallists, with
out distinction of political party, to hold
up Major McKinley's hands In the battle
that 10 about to begin, and not only not
10 place obstacles in his way, but to aid
him With every means in their power. To
he joyful performance of this duty the
Journal pledges those bimetallists who

IT is said that New York is the richest
