Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited 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 a woman. Thus has been established the eternal confidence between Mrs. Pinkham 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 anywonan, rich or poor, is very foolish if she does not take advantage of this generous offer of assistance.

BUYS A RAILROAD.
Colonel Stevenson's Purchase Out


 Ohio-Road to be Extended. Columbus, Ohio, Sept 3.-Yesterday morning Colonel William H Stevenson of New York bought the Lancaster and Hamden railroad, paying s15000O cash for it.

SEARCH FOR THE WILD MAN.
He Is a Good Sprinter and Has Evaded
 Canture


 Mount Vernon. N. Y Sept 3-The search for the wild man of Bronxville was resumed this morning by Sergeant Beckwith and a posse of police The party left this city at o'clock, and searched the woods in the vicinity of Lincoln Heights, where the man was seen yesterday morning. The search aside from locating various places re- gently occupied by him, was entirely fruitless. Meantime report was re- ceived at the police station that the man had been seen at o'clock this morning running around the Allendale race track, owned by the Mount Yer non Driving club. An effort to catch him was made by several men, but it was unsuccessful. The wild man is certainly good sprinter, for none of his pursuers could come within hailing distance of him.
 The authorities are now thinking of securing a good bloodhound and track ing the man There has been absolute ly no system used in the search thus far made by the authorities. The ter ritory where the wild man is supposed to be is sparsely populated and is com posed of dense woods and swamp land It affords many places of concealment, and 8 dozen men are not enough to make a thorough search. The parties thus far sent out have not consisted of over a half dozen men, and they are entirely useless. It would require 200 men to properly search this territory

ORANGE HAS A KLoND1KE,

The quarry of the Connecticut Con- crete company of Orange has a Klon- dike appearance just now. Commis- sioner Macdonald, who is interested in the quarry, had a specimen of con- glomerate quartz. gneiss and trap rock at the state highway office yesterday, and there was rich sprinkling of gold in it. There has been in times past an attempt to work this quarry as a gold mine, and it is possible that with im- proved machinery for reducing the ore it may yet be made a local Klondike, with all the pleasures of Savin Rock attached.

People say that he has :" a finicky appetite D and let 1t go at that. The fact is that the man is in precarious con dition and, if he continues to neglect his health, is candidate for consumption or some equally terrible lnalady.'

Stop! Women,

And consider that in addressing Mrs. Pinkham you are confding your private ills to 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 it is revolting to relate your private troubles to a man; besides, man does not understand, simply because he isa man.

"When three months old, my little daughter had eruptions on her face. l was obliged to keep her hands tied at night and it was necessary to watch her during the day. She would scratch her self whenever she got the chance, until her clothes would be covered with blood. We concluded to try Hoods Sarsaparilla, because had great faith in it, and after awhile we could see that she was getting better. People often asked How did that child burn her face?' and they said she would certainly be left with scars, but she was not.
