Jennie E. Green and Mrs. Harry
 Hardy.

JENNIE E. GREEN, Denmark, Iowa, writes to Mrs. Pinkham:
 !" I had been sick at my monthly periods for seven years, and tried almost everything I ever heard of, but without any benefit. Was troubled with backache, headache, pains in the shoulders and dizziness. Through my mother l was induced to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and it has done me so much good. am now sound and well"
 Mrs. HARRY HARDY, Riverside, Iowa, writes to Mrs. Pinkham the story of her struggle with serious ovarian trou- ble, and the benefit she received from the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege- table Compound. This is her letter:
 How thankful l am that I took your medicine. I was troubled for two years with inflammation of the womb and ovaries, womb was also very low. l was in constant misery I had heart trouble, was short of breath and could rot walk five blocks to save my life. Suffered very much with my back, had headache all the time, was nervous, menstruations were irregular and painful, had 9 bad discharge and was troubled with bloating. l was a perfect wreck. Had doctored and taken local treatments, but still was no better. l was advised by one of my . neighbors to write to you. I have now finished the seconG bottle of Mrs. Pink. hams Vegetable Compound, and am better in every way. am able to do all my own work and can walk nearly mile without fatigue; something I had not been able to do for over two years. Your medicine has done me more good than all the doctors

To He Settled By tho Legislature

The state debt board has decided not to destroy the bonds recently received from the general government Tn pur- suance of the compromise settlement with the state. Deputy Superintendent of Public Instruction Knykendall ap- peared before the board and interposed an objection to the burning of the bonds. In the settlcmen there were 40, 000 acres of land credited by the gov ernment to the school fund, at g. 30 per acre, and the school funds claim is now S1o5 oo0 The department of education desires that sufficient number of the bonds secured in the settlement be turned over to it's credit to cover the amount of the claim. The debt board decided that it had no authority to pass upon equities, which must be left to the legislature, which can order the bonds cancelled, or order an issue of new bonds to cover the amount.

Change in Postal Regulations.


 Postmastcrs throughout the state have been informed from Washington of the change in the postal regulations regarding forwarding of papers, pack ages, etc, which went into effect July 1. Persons wishing to have second, third and fourth-class mail matter forwarded to them must pay the amount of the postage in advance. Heretofore the postage has been paid upon the arrival of this class of matter at its destina- tion. The postal regulations have also been modified so that third and fourth class matter may be remailed or for wardcd, but not unless the addressee, or some one for him, shall repay addi- tional postage therefor at the rate at which the matter was originally mailed, the necessary stamps to be affixed and cancelled by the forwarding postmaster. Prepayment must be made every time the matter is reforwarded. Undeliv- cred second-class matter has also the right of being remailed or forwarded, when postage therefor is provided by the addressee; but the rate of postage on such matter is one cent for every four ounces or fraction thereof, paya- ble by stamps to be attached.

Weekly crop bulletin for week end. ing Monday, July4 1898:
 General Remarks.
 Warm, dry weather has enabled farmers to push forward field work and as a result cotton is clean except in spots. Early corn is laid by except in northern counties. Wheat and oats stacking and thrashing has progressed fayorably and an abundance of hay has been saved in good condition.
 Snch rain as occurred fell in local showers, generally light but heavy enough in places, especially in the southwest section, to delay farm work. Where rain occurred it was of material benefit to growing crops.
 Growing crops over the entire state are in a tlourishing condition, though they are now commencing to need rain.
The Monticellonian., 1898-07-15
Corn

 Reports indicate that this crop con- tinues to do well. North of the Ar6an- as river Is in various stages of advance ment, from few inches high in the low lands 10 full silk and tassel, and well cared in the more southern conn., ties. Rain would be very beneficial.
 Wheat.
 All wheat harvested and being thrashed; the yield is fine, both as to quality and quantity. The weather has been favorable for stacking.
 Cats.
 Harvest completed except in few localities The grain either stacked or housed, and being thrashed. The yield will be good average.
 Minor Crops.
 Favorable weather has enabled farm CTS to save an abundance of hay in good condition. Gardens and the range need rain. Sorghum is doing very well. Cow peas and milet fine Melons ripening very slowly. Some reports of peaches rotting on trees in the north west section. F. E RICHARDS,

SOUTHERN APPOINTMENTS.
The Small Republican Representation
May Affect the Matter.

Washington, ID. c., Feb. A NUM-
her of topics were discussed at to-day's
Cabinet meeting, but perhaps that of the
most interest was the dispensation of
Federal patronage in THE Southern
States. where the Republican party has
no Representatives in Congress. 1t is
probable that several important appoint
ments will he made in the South soon,
though the President has not yet abso-
lutely and finally determined ON them.
The decree of the German government
relative to American fruit was talked
over and figures were produced to show
the great Importance of the trade put in
Jeopardy by this sudden and unprece-
dented action on the part of Germany
The modification of the decree made
known by the latest advices from Ann
tbassador White was taken as an evil
slence that the matter is stiI subject to
diplomatic adjustment.
