by many doctors. Women are often
treated specially for sick headaches, dys
pepsia, melancholy, or what is supposed
to be liver or kidney affection or heart
disease, when in reality the whole trouble
is with the reproductive organs. This
delicate and intricate organism and the
rational treatment for its peculiar all
ments is life study for the wisest physi.
clan. Probably no practitioner living
has higher repute in this special direc-
lion, than DR.. r. V. Pierce, Chief Con-
sulting Physician of the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, n. Y.
His 90 Favorite Prescription, is the most
perfect remedy ever known for all fe-
male complaints" 1t gets at the source
of the trouble from the inside: 1t is not
merely temporary, external, local, Dol

directly tones and strengthens the in

REPUBLICANS NOT CONFIDENT
The Conference Committee Trying to
Make Peace for ssOhice Sake.'

The Conference Committee Trying to
Make Peace for "Omce Sake"
1t is an open secret, says Raleigh
letter, that If the Republicans were
sure they could control les islation
without the aid of the Populists they
would throw the latter overheard
Some Republicans are, however,
doubtful whether they can control
the Senate even by the use of the
boiling Populists, as they have mar
gin Of only one vote, and that is a
Populist, who is one day for Butler
and the next day for Pritchard.
The conference committee of the
Populists and Repu blicans are at
work seeing how they can arrange for
a truce, II not permanent peace, so
the offices Can be divided. This in
tense desire to GUST Democrats and
get control of offices and of the State
institutions is the only thing which
Populists and Republicans now have
in common. Democrats believe that
no matter how bitter the quarrel has
been and now Is between the Repub
licaus and POpulists, yet, as hunters
for spoils, they will unite. Governor
Russell, who has this matter at heart
and whose great desire is to see all
Democrats ousted, is working steadily
to induce the majority Populists and
boilers to patch up peace.

KILLED BY THE TRAIN.
MINERVA M'COLLUM, AN OLD
COLORED WOMAN.
Struck by the N. & w. Passenger
Train, Saturday Night, just Out

Watched by Her Husband.

Train, Saturday Night, just Out
side the Corporate Limits
Watched by Her Husband.
Minerva McCollum, wife of Charles
McCollum, colored was killed at $40
Saturday night by the incoming Nor
folk & Western passenger train from
Roanoke.
The accident occurred few steps
beyond the corporation line. The
woman, who was go years old, was 60
ing from her home, which is about
100 yards from the railroad track, to
a store on Liberty street. She was
accompanied by her little grand
daughter. The old woman had her
head tied up and of course did not
hear the train coming. The child
was walking behind her grandmother
and saw the train in time to save her
life.
The unfortunate woman, it is be-
lieved, was between the rails when
the engine struck her. Size was
thrown about ten feet on the east side
Of the track. Hilary Langley,
young white man, was near by when
the accident occurred. He says the
old woman was dead when he got to
crushed from ear to ear, the right
arm was broken at the shoulder joint,
besides other bruises about the body.
Capt. johnson was conductor of the
train; William Fagiet was engineer
and William Hit fireman. The train
was five minutes behind time and was
supposed to be running at the rate of
about % miles per hour. The engi-
neer and fireman thought they had
.nfh ir,r htaf ~
know what 1t was until Sunday morn
ing. There is large cut just beyond
where the ACCIDENT occurred and the
engineer or fireman could not see
person off the track at the point where
the woman was crossing until they
were right upon them.
Coroner Linville was informed OF
the accident and requested to come
over that night and hold an inquest,
but he sent word that he could not
come before Sunday morning. The
husband of the dead woman, with
few of his friends, built up fire and
stood watch over the body, where it
was thrown by the train, all night
They declined to have it moved until
the coroner said So
Ii was $50 Sunday morning when
Dr. Invite arrived and ordered the
body moved to the home OF the de-
ceased, about 100 yards from the place
where she was killed, where post
mortem was made by Dr. Bynum.
The coroner's jury rendered "a verd CT
that the woman was killed by the
train.
Besides the husband, who is 80
years old, Minerva McCollum leaves
fifteen children and several grand
children. She was buried Monday
afternoon.
Hundreds of colored people, as well
as many whites, visited the scene of
the accident Sunday.
