SINGULAR STATEMENT.
From Mrs. Rank to Mrs. Pinkham

The following letter to Mrs. Pink ham from Mrs. M. RANK, No. 2,a54 East Susquehanna Ave, Philadelphia, Pa., is remarkable statement of re- lief from utter discouragement. She says:
 'I never can find words with which to thank you for what Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound has done for me.
 "Some years ago had womb trouble and doctored for a long time. not see- ing any improvement. At times I would feel we'll enough, and other times was miserable. So it went on until last October, I felt something terrible creeping over me, knew not what, but kept getting worse. I can hardly explain my feelings at that time. l was so depressed in spirits that did not wish to live, although I had everything to live for. Had hvs- teria. was very nervous; could not Sleep and was not safe to be left alone.
 Indeed, 1 thought I would lose my mind. No one knows what I endured.
 " l continued this way until the last or fe oruary, when I saw in paper a testimonial of a lady whose case was similar to mine, and who had. been cured by Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegeta- ble Compound. determined to try it. and felt better after the first dose. I continued taking it, and to-day am a well woman, and can say from my heart, Thank God for such medf- cine"
 Mrs. Pinkham invites all suffering women to write to her at Lynn, Mass. :, TOT advice. All such letters are seen and answered by women only.

 KEY WEST, Fla, April 1O.-There was no Easter Sunday in Key West to- day. The arrival of General Lee and the widespread curiosity to get a glimpse of the hero of the hour brought the entire population into the streets and to the docks. Hundreds of refugees mingled with the crowds ex- citedly discussing the situation. When General Lee departed the interest was attracted toward the preparations on the bay and water front. There was enough action there to claim their at tention throughout the long hot after noon.
 Activity on the warships was more noticeable than for several days. That General Lee was safely away from Havana seemed to put new life in na- val officers and to bring revenge for the Maine victims into the perspective of the present week. The cruiser Hell ena lay at the Government dock com pleting her coaling, necessary after her trip across the Atlantic, while a detail of naval mechanics from the Brooklyn Navy Yard hastened repairs on her tower, somewhat shaken by the voyage. A full complement of officers and sailors industriously worked to clear away the woodwork and put the ship in fighting trim by night. At an- other dock a few yards distant was the formidable monitor Puritan, which arrived from Hampton Roads Friday night The Puritan was also coaling and was almost stripped for action.
 Further along was the lighthouse tender Mangrove Ensign Palmer, who Iafo 1n1 fy-ny ha Ro rcI1 in Ia York to command the Mangrove, set to work with a rush. He succeeded in enlisting an entire crew, men showing surprising readiness to volunteer. Two six-pounder rifles will be mounted fore and aft, with broadsides of four rapid fire guns. The Mangrove is entirely unarmored, but will be effective against torpedo boats on picket duty. She will be ready to put to sea Tues day if the fleet sails. Out in the har- bor in full view of the crowded docks one could see gun drills on the Terror Detroit and Marblehead.
 The few officers on shore discussed the probability of soon getting to Ha- vana to avenge the Maine victims and insults to General Lee. On the docks where warships are being repaired the marines kept spectators at a distance On the big bastle-ship outside the bar was the same activity. Sunday reli- gious 'rvices on fleet were sacrificed for final preparations, being the first time Easter has passed without serv- ices in twenty-five years An extra supply of water was sent aboard all warshipS.
 The officers refuse to entertain the belief of the possibility of further de- lay on the part of the President and Congress, and they expect sailing or ders not later than Wednesday,
 The possibility that the armistice may be accepted is not credited by the superior officers of the fleet, who think the insults to General Lee, added tc the Maine explosion, are enough to war rant war There is suppressed excite. ment about the hotel where many of. ficers are quartered. Nothing was talked of but an approaching attack.

V w NAVAL PLAN OF ATTACK.

 . KEY WEST, April 10.-Moni-' D tors Terror, Puritan and Amphi- . trite have been ordered to join the . battleship off Sandy Key light. D This move at this time is accept D ed here as evidence that the fleet D is making final preparations to D move without the least delay , when the order comes. The mon . itorS are, of course, slower than . other vessels, but will play a . great part in the formation of
 D the first line of attack.
 . Some changes in the plan of . attack have now been decided
 5 upon. Morro Castle will not be . Shelled because of the prisoners D there, and Cabanas will escape . for the same reason in case the . trouble between Spain and the . United States goes beyond tar Q get practice. As it is known . that prisoners are still con- Q fined in some of the cells, it is

The 6 castle itself is not formidable . unless one accepts the story that Q it's walls have been breeched to 6 the outer skin and a battery of Q big guns mounted inside which Q will be unmasked should hostil- c ities be begun. It seems likely
 c that, should war come, the affair c at Havana would begin with c brief artillery duel between the
 c Iowa and her consorts and the 6 guns of Santa Clara battery and 6 ordnance guns and the two . twelve-inch rifles planted near
 Q Morro a year ago.

iron stack, the old one is taken down

owner may keep it and sell it himself
to somebody that wants secondhand

may remove it to his own yard, or il
may be that the original owner keeps it

lishment is worn out and that the boiler
is not and that secondhand stack

Secondhand stacks may be used with

What might have proved disastrous
to the Republican ticket in 1896 was
discovered and corrected before anv
harm was done. The national COM
mittee had prepared plentiful money
with lower prices argument against
free silver for. farmers, and a high
prices for farm products argument for
laboring men. In some way a car
load of each kind of literature was
sent to the place opposite to that for
which it was intended. The mistake
was discovered and corrected before
any of it was given out. The facts in
the above affair are of interest as a
showing OF the meth DDS employed to
defeat Bryan. To evade the rates
fixed by the Kansas law the Kansas
City Stock Yards Company will here
after do all of its sale business on the
Missouri side and charge the old
rates. This method of avoiding COM
pliance with the law was anticipated. !.
The live stock commission men are
dissatisfied with the arrangement as
it greatly inconveniences them in their
business.
