Yes, you will recover, at least hope
you will; but you will never be quite
the same woman again. Congestion of
the ovaries is fatal to health. If you

the needs of woman's sexual system.
You can get it at any good druggists.
Following we publish a letter from

how she was cured of ovarian trouble:
"Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-I suffered with
congestion of the ovaries and infamma
ton of the womb. Ihad been troubled
with suppressed and painful menstrual

the ovaries would have to be removed.
l 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 a package of Sanative Wash
was very much relieved. continued
to use your remedies until cured, The
last nine months have been passed in
perfect good health. This, 1 know, I owe

health and happiness. "-MRs. F. M.

Electric Railroad Extension to Pleasant

TO the Editor Of the Press:
/ understand a petition is being circu.
lated for the extension of the electric
railroad from Aliens corner to Pleasant
Hill. And why not? Aside from the
utility of such road it would certainly
seem to be paying one for the company
Why should not the beauties of the
natural scenery in and about the village
be made the most of as summer resort
for those i'll search of health and rest.
The lovely river, the beautiful and
picturesque falls, the outlying harbor and
islands, the pine woods, the hills, the
varied landscapes, the near proximity to
Rivertcn, either by boat or cars, would
seem to make Pleasant Hill an ideal re-
sort for summer visitors. Then there is
the Power house which in the near
future may be but the nucleus of much
greater things in the line of mechanical
improvements and extensive business
operations.
Over and above all the growth of the
place and convenience Of it's citizens de-
mand that there should be some better
way of access to it's various points of in
terest besides private equippages.
Where can one find as many natural
attractions for days picnic? A ride on
the electric cara from Portland, with a
lunch basket, couple of hours or longer
at the falls, and in the pine woods, sail
up the river to Riverton would give one
rest from the weary monotony Of labor
and tighten care for many days.
! hope the company will 0ecid3 in
favor Of such an extension of its lines,
which as it seems to me will be a benefit
to all parties

READY FOR CHRISTMAS.
Schools Close observation-disclosures
Children VIII Entertain.

The city schools will close this after
noon for the Christmas vacation, re-
opening Monday, Jan. 8. The vacation
is shorter this year than usual, being
only one school day greater than a
week, on account of the two holidays
falling on Saturday this year.
There will be little routine in the
schools today. Generally the afternoon
will be devoted to exercises appropriate
to the Christmas season.
At the Central high school, the US
ual work will be done except for an
hour this morning, which will be given
up to a historical lecture on Frederick
the Great. In the high schools they
have their regular periods for rhetori-
Gals and they are not interferred with
by the holidays.
The kindergarten children have been
busy for the past four weeks making
all manner Of pretty articles to be
placed upon the Christmas trees, which
will be planted in each room. Many Of
these ornaments will go to the children
in the hospitals, and to the poor Of the
city. In a general way the poor will
be remembered by all Of the schools,
but that is not part Of the exercises
in the upper grade, and is a matter Of
individual discretion. The Christmas
exercises in the kindergarten will take
place this afternoon at 1870.
In the higher rooms the exercises will
consist Of singing. readings and reel
tationS. Each room will have its own
individual programme, but they will
all be much on the same order. The
children of the Monroe school held
their exercises yesterday afternoon.
Prof. Congdon, the supervisor Of
music is busily engaged in the rehearsal
of the children's chorus several hundred
in number, which will take part in

and that the balance Of s4,545.46 is still
due him, with interest at Z per cent,
from July 2, 1886. a.
In his memorandum Judge Bum says
that the testimony in the case shows
that Attorney Murphy was practically

Total Recommendations. .s151. $50
AS the city comptroller estimated
the income of the general fund for
1897 at $375,000, the deduction Of $751;
$50 from this amount would leave
balance of 1923. TO-. which was the ex-
act figure placed lin the recapitulation

The point the City official made
about these figures was that, If in 1896
and in 1897 the comptroller, after de-
Quoting from the income Of the general
fund the amounts TO be paid to other
departments placed in the recapitula-
ton for each sef these years, the bal
ance to a penny, why did not the est1-
mate for 1898. show the same nicely
as to figures. hs
.Assemblymah Kirke. seen last even
ing, said there was no question but
that the comptroller had made a mis-
take in the figures under the head of
the general fund Id the 1898 estimate.
He CKirke) had Intended going before
the conference committee and having
the error corrected but was not able
to be present at the last meeting OF
that body AS soon as the council took
up the estimate, Mr. Kirke stated that
the mistake would be corrected. Mr..
Kfrke said. as he had figured it, the
increase Of $4,000. made by the fig
ures Of the comptroller in the esti-
mate, would not injure the city in the
least, even if not changed, but it would
increase the total to be raised for the
expenses Of 1898 just that amount,
when there was no particular need Of
so doing.
