FIBROID TUMOR
Expelled by Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
Interview With Mrs. b. A. Lombard.


Ihave reason to think that would
not be here now If it had not been for
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound. 1t cured me Of q 6broid tumor
in my womb.
Doctors could do nothing for me, and
they could not cure me at the hospital.
I will tell you about it:
1 had been in my usual health, but
had worked quite hard. When my
monthly period came on, flowed very
badly. The doctor gave me medicine,
but it did me no good. He said the
flow must be stopped if possible, and
he must find the cause Of my trouble.
Upon examination, he found there
was Fibroid Tumor in my womb, and
gave me treatment without any benefit
whatever. About that time a lady
called on me, and recommended Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
said she owed her life to it. I
said would try it, and did. Soon
after the flow became more natural and
regular. I still continued taking the
Compound for some time. Then the
doctor made an examination again,
and found everything all right. The
tumor had passed away and that dull
ache was gone.-MRs. B. A. LOMBARD,
Box II. Westdale, Mass.

future, however, was little heard from and
remained at that price with scarcely
trade of note until late in the session. Some
July selling orders were prominent at first,
and 1t took but brief time to break the
price to 82A. The break in Wall street
stocks and the days developments at
among traders, and led to the abandonment
of much of the wheat taken on during
yesterdays advance and to the almost
total withdrawal Of influential support

feature of the market, as little else was
given any attention. The market con-

mand there was little buying from any
source and the market again sagged.

The proceedings in the senate resulted in

ket and increased the volume of short SELL
ing in marked degree, July breaking un-
der the pressure to S1%. Then the market
hardened under covering movement,
which assumed respectable proportions for
a time and caused rally to 82N. Near the
close sharp break in May, caused by the
an unsupported market, resulted in re-
newed activity among the July bears. and
prices slipped off again in very short
time to slX. After the liquidation in May
was over, Letter brokers had no difficulty
in bidding the price, which had fallen to
1.0l1s, up to L04N again, and this quick re-
action caused a little better feeling In July.
The market rallied to 71N@S2, and closed
at that figure.
There was quite heavy selling in long
corn all day, and the market was weak
from the start. The break was altogether
in sympathy with wheat and the Wash
ington news.
Oats were rather slower and weak. The
Liquidation which marked the early hours
was In sympathy with the wheat break.
Support was not lacking however, and
caused q slight recovery.
Provisions were irregular. though in the
main weak. Washington news caused a
good deal Of uneasiness among holders and
this and the depression in grain prices

A prominent educator, talking to moth

nascent periods-that is, there are certain
times whR a child can learn to do things
easier and better than at others. The
growth of the brain is not generally under
stood. There is, however, an ebb and flow
of interest. The children apply themselves
assiduously for time, then comes arrest.
and educators are now disputing whether
to urge the child along, or, after the ebb,
wait for the certain return TO interest in
it's work.-Philadelphia Press.

ON CHANGE
Conditions as Shown by Transactions
on Wall Street

NEW YORK, March 29.-Wall street
awoke this morning to the realization that
1t had been duped Spectators conse-
quently wore Il somewhat rueful aspect in
all but that select inner circle which reaped
the profits from the well organized plan
to precipitate bear panic. 1t was very
noticeable that those who were loudest
yesterday in the prediction of settlement
alleged to have been arrived at between
the United States and Spain were no lon
ger active bidders for stocks and securities
today, although they are credited with
having parted with large holdings at the
high level yesterday. The sanguine ex
pectations Of this element that prices
would go higher In the immediate future
had been changed. and the short interest
having been largely eliminated by yester-
days forceful process, the market was
promptly dropped OFF from about / per
cent to upwards Of 2 per cent in the open
top prices except in a few cases at any
time during the day. Some of the smaller
dealers who had confidently swallowed all
the bogus news that was fed them yester-
day were. anxious to sell stock which they
bought then. The bears also took some
heart when they discovered what had
frightened them, and ventured upon some

scampered to cover when the bulls began
to make prices in the afternoon. This i'm
provement did not hold, but the subsequent
relapse ola not carry prices TO the lowest
point of the day. The list shows net de-
clines, nevertheless, of between 1 and 2
points in the large majority Of important
stocks London was both buyer and
seller here, support from abroad being es-
pecially manifest in the Northern Pacific
stocks There seems to be an impression
in London that the Northwestern passen-
ger rate war is in course Of adjustment.
Foreign exchange stiffened sharply in re-
Spouse to additional engagements Of
about $500. 900 gold for import, bringing
the total on the movement to over $64 900, :

Rates for money are stiffly held. 1t is not
thought probable that the movement Of

GAMBLER AND THE BARR00MS.
AN ATTEMPT To ARRAY THE Pro
HIBITIONS AGAINST HIM.

Peoples Party Paper Claims He Is
an Opponent of the Anti-LiquOr
EIement-His Alleged Record in
the Prohibition Campaigns in Hall
County CftedGn support of the Al
legation.
Atlanta, Ga, May 19-The Peoples
Party paper. which is the Populist organ
Of the state, has opened up its fight upon
Col Allen d. Gambler, as the probable
nominee of the Democratic party. This
weeks number of the paper which will
he issued tomorrow, contains an editorial
making the liquor question the main con-
tention between the two parties.
Mr.. Hogan, the nominee of the Populists
named yesterday is a fiat footed prohibit
ionist and Col Gambler is sought to be
placed in the position of a whiskey man.
In the course of the editorial the paper
prints a letter from Harvey Howard of
Gainesville, purporti1g to give Col Cand-
ler's record at home n the liquor ques-
tion. This letter saysS of him: HE tas
ever been an ardent whisRey man, and
from the time Hall county first voted
whiskey out of the county to the present
day, he has cursed the country people,
the members of the different churches,
and the moral element of the city and
county for banishing the bar rooms from
our midst. He does not hesitate to say
that this accused element of society, es
he terms it, is responsible for closing the
bar rooms in his hotel, which is running
our boys, and destroying the happiness of
hundreds of homes He knew that hun
dreds of men went there and bought
whiskey with their hard earned dollars
which should have been used to buy food
and clothing for their families.
In the fall of 1895 he signed a petition
to bring on another election, that the
county might be carried by the whisky
element, after having tried local option.
Not content with this, he used all his
influence to carry the county wet, declar-
ing that property was damaged and that
the towns would go to the eternal bow
vows if the county remained dry, but
all to no avail. HIS signature to the
petition possibly had much to do with
bringing on the election as many of the
more timid men signed it on the strength
of his having done So but the Prohibi-
tIonists ard Popuhsts united. and with
God and the good women behind us and
with a strong determination that the
county should not go backward, and that
we would never yied it over to barroom
men, we succeeded in overcoming Gambler
and his cohorts II was a bitter fight,
but the country went dry by vote of al
most two to one"

a considerable number of Cinnamon went
TO a New York theater to see a burlesque
performance. When the American part of
the audience laughed the delegation from
Chinatown sat with faces absolutely blank;
but the moment any hint of brutality, trag-
edy or tears appeared on the stage, their
heavy features lighted and were wreath
ed in smiles 1t was a strange thing to
witness, but it was all in perfect keeping
with the cruel instincts of their race.
Even the knowledge that he is himself
to be the next victim does not spoil the
fun of a cruel spectacle for a barbarian
thoroughbred, Here is an instance;

gagged in a bloody revolt, We're captured

up with loaded muskets before whom the
doomed men were led out in squads of five
or six 10 be shot, while those who were
waiting their turn stood by under guard,
looking on. When The first volley was
fired the Victims torn by the storm of bull
let's, leaped into the air with violent con-
tortions and fell dead And this, to the
poor wretches who were about to go
through the same experience, seemed so
fine a show and so excrucjatingly funny
that they were fairly convulsed with
laughter
SUGn is the nuIDOI OF SdNdSeE, anu SuCll
doubtless, were the beginnings of mirth
the world over. Strange as it may seem,
there are many hints of this barbarous
origin in the fun of the most highly civ
ilized. We no longer laugh at really tragic
occurrences. it is true, for other and more
humane emotions are too strongly excited.
But if we chance to see a ridiculous mis-
hap which does not quite rise to the dig
nifty Of tragedy-an accident by which some
one is greatly Inconvenience and annoyed
without being seriously injured-the rem
nant Of the savage breaks loose in us and
we laugh till the tears come. Why elst
are we amused when we see a well dressed
man thrown spra Wiling in the mud or del
uged with dirty water from an upper win
dow or driven up a tree by a cross dog or
an ugly bull? Instances might be multi
piled without limit
1t is noticeable that children often laugh
at things which do not amuse adults, but
on the contrary, shock and pain them.
That is because the child's finer sensibili-
ties are as yet imperfectly developed; he
is still near the savage stage. There is a
very prevalent sentiment to the contrary,
but this is the fact.
In proportion as men become truly civil
lied. however, their sense of humor be-
comes refined and they revolt at any sug-
gestion of brutality. Yet it is worthy of re-
mark that the gentlest among us are fire.
quently amused at picture or a story rep
resentlng things the actual occurrence of
which would shock us greatly. Even here
! our fun shows a faint Renaissance Of its
cruel origin.
All of which goes to show that nothing
betrays the latent savage in us like a
