Woinan's power is largely dependent
upon her ability to interest, entertain. at
tract and please. 1t is for this reason that
women strive to become ACCOMPLISHED
They study i'll order that they may converse
intelligently on all subjects. They strive
to become good musicians, graceful dam
GERS and afniable hostesses.
All accomplishments are unavailinp If a
woman suffers from i'll health in a womanly
way. The special weakness peculiar to the
womanly organism, will rapidly wreck the
general health. The sufferer will lose her
natural vivacity, her wit, her good looks,
and the ambition and power to display the
accomplishments at her command. ANY
woman affected in this way should resort
to DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, 1t is
a wonderful medicine for ailing women. 1t

physician, DR.. X. V. Pierce, for thirty wears

eases, and claims to be good for nothing
else. 1t imparts health, elastic strength,
vigor and virility to the delicate feminine
organs. 1t prepares a woman for wifehood

TENSION Is RELIEVED.

Conservatism of Secretary Longs Ut
terances Causes u nuieter Feeling.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-The tension
over the Maine affair is noticeably re.
lieved in all official quarters, partly be.
cause of the absence of dispatches to
the state or navy departments bearing
on the subject and also because of the
conservatism inspired by Secretary
Longs utterances that the element of
Spanish participation in the disaster
has been eliminated, in his Judgment.
Although the navy department had no
reports from Havana or Key West, a
dispatch announcing the departure OF
the cruiser Brooklyn from Santa
Lucia for La Guayara, had some indi.
rect significance in further removing
n of the larger vessels of the navy
from what has thus far been the COM.
NO center of naval activity at Key
West. The Brooklyn will make a short
stop at La Guayara and will then pro.
coed further southwark.

/, TOO GREAT PKOFFIIS.


The annual report Of the commits
sioner of railroads makes some start
ling revelations as regards the earn.
iugs of different roads throughout the
United States, and shows some
enormous earnings of roads that we're
a few years ago in the hands of re-
ceivers. CONSPICUOUS among these is
the Northern Pacific, whose annual in.
terest charges were reduced more
than "a, 100000 since reorganization,
and whose gross earnings for the past
year were s23 3,679,7l9 After paying
all fixed charges and dividends it had
a surplus of s5.5O0,007 applicable for
dividends on watered stock.
When 1t is considered that this
roads earnings are greatest on its
western division, In Montana, Idaho
and Washington, it appears that the
people of those sections are paying
too dearly for the service rendered by
the railroad, which compared with
like service rendered in other sections
Of the country are out of all propor-
tion. From Eastern Washington to
the ocean, average distance OF 400
miles, the charges for hauling bushel
o. wheat are 124 cents. From Chicago
to New York, distance of $50 miles,
the charges are Is cents. Hence
The eastern roads are either hauling
wheat for less than reasonable profit
or the Northern Pacific Is charging
too much. From the report of its net
earnings the latter would appear to be
true. Eastern Washington farmers
are taxed too heavily for the maintance
of the road that has monopoly of the
wheat hauling trade of that section,

QUAY AND THE SENATORSHIP

A Philadelphia grand jury has in
dicted United States Senator M. S.
Quay and Benjamin ]. Haywood, ex-
state treasurer. The indictments
charge the defendants with conspiracy
with John S. Hopkins late cashier OF
the Peoples bank, for the unlawful
use of the money in the bank for the
purchase of stock, and conspiracy with
Hopkins in the use of state funds on
deposit in the Peoples bank.
Hopkins got himself out of the
scrape by committing suicide few
months ago, but QUAY is SO busy with
his contest for reelection that he can
not afford to shuttle off ut the present
time.
But the people of the nation feel
more interest in what the, PEN
nsylyania legislature will do than
in what will be the outcome of the
trial of Quay. 1t is not expected he
will be convicted, no matter how
guilty he may be. but will the Penn.
sylvania legislature indorse a man
over. whom such cloud Is hanging?
With an Indictment hanging
over his head, and the bitter fight
ex- Postmaster-General Wanamaker
is making to rid the state of Quay and
Qusyism, it does not seem possible
that self respecting legislature could
support him. But Quay is politician,
a trixter and an unscrupulous wire
worker, and it is not unlikely that he
will be able to work the legislature,
while the sympathies of the voters OF
Pennsylvania are against him.

of the states that have United States
senators TO elect. While the legisla-

have had their last say, the would-be
senators are plying their arts and also
their cash to win votes. Especially
is this the case in New York, Penn

seems that senatorial honors are to be
put up ut auction to the highest bid

noteworthy promise. One is the ex-

EXPENSIVE ACQUISITIONS

The 500, 100000 which we shall have
to pay Spain, is only about one-third
possibly not one-fourth--of the total
amount this government will be called
upon to pay. One section ofthe terms
provides that each country shall wave
all claims that its citizens may have
against the other for money damages.
That will make this government re-
sponsible for all damage done TO
property owned by American citizens
In Cuba, during the two last revolu-
tions. Claims against Spain aggre-
eating more than S25,0O0,00O are
already on file at the department OF
state, for this class Of damages, and IL
this government becomes responsible
as many more are certain to be filed
Allowing that these claims would be
scaled down oEe-ffth, there would
still be left about 10000, 900 for this
government to pay. besides half that
amount which it must pay to Spain.

THE ARMY INHESTIGA TION.

1t matters little what the report OF
the war investigating committee is,
there will be an additional investigat.
tion made by congress through com.

mony is required to ascertain if any
abuses existed during the recent war
and upon whom the responsibility
rests.
The committee appointed by the
president to enquire into the admins
tration of the war department has
learned nothing definite concerning
the management of the army, acd its
report will therefore be eunsatisfsctory,
hence another investigation will be
demanded. So far the commissioners
have apparently used their best en-.

practiced. Their inquiries have been
