WOMEN IN BUSINESS.

From the Free Press, Detroit Mich
A prominent business man recentIv
expressed the opinion that there is one
thing that will prevent women from
completely filing mans place in the
business world-they can't be depended
upon because they are sick too often.
Ihls is refuted by Mrs. c. w. Mansfield.
a business woman of SO Farrar street,
Detroit, Mich, who says:
"A complication of female ailments
Kept me awake nights and wore me
out. L could get no relief from medf-
cine and hope was slipping away from
me. A young lady in my employ gave
me box of DR. Williams Pink PMS
for Pale People. I took them and was
able to rest at night for the first time
in months. I bought more and took
them and they cured me as thew also
cured several ether re pie to my knowf-
edge. [ think that If you should ask
any Of the druggists of Detroit, who
are the best buyers of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills they would say the young
women. These pills certainly build uD
the nervous system and many a young
woman owes her life to them.

and grief when the news reached the
palace that the empress, so beloved by
all Europeans, had fallen a victim to
an assassin within the borders Of their
country. They Immediately decided to
hold an extraordinary federal council,
on Sunday morning, in order to con-
slider the measures to be taken against
the assassin. The latter must be tried
according to the statutes Of the can
ton in which the crime was committed,
which forbid capital punishment and
make life Imprisonment the most Sc
we're penalty which can be imposed.
When the Austrian minister, Count
Kurfstein, was informed of the trag-
edy, he hurried to the palace and was
met with expressions of the deepest
sympathy. AS soon as a special tram
could be arranged, the minister started
for Geneva, accompanied by the dep
uty prosecutor general, who took up the
case at once, his chief being on Vaca-
ton. He will hold a preliminary In
curry at Geneva tonight, or as soon as
possible, and return tomorrow, in order
to report to the federal council
The federal authorities had been in
formed of the visit of the empress, ana
they notified the governors of the can
tons the empress expected to visit, In
structing them to take special police
measures for her comfort and safety,
if it appeared necessary. They were
not informed of her majesty's intention
to visit Geneva, nor were the local au-
thorities aware of her presence there,
as she was travelling incognito. The
police are not blamed, though the cir
cumstances responsible for the lack OF
precautions are widely regretted. All
Switzerland is profoundly stirred with
sorrow and Indignation.
The papers of all the cities have
printed extra editions expressing hor-
ror of the crime.

BRECKENRIDGE, Mimi, Sept. 10

J. Brawders and Fred Spanfeller got
into a fight at Kent, in this county,

threshers and proposed to run the town.
They went into the saloon of Marick
Bros, and made q good deal of dis
turbance, breaking glasses and huor-
ishing guns.
The bartender Henry Barton, Or
dered them out, and, on their refusal
got q gun loaded with buckshot and
threatened to shoot unless they left
After repeating this threat the second
time he fired the charge striking a.
man whose name is said to be John
Myers, commonly called Scotty, killing
him almost instantly.
The crowd then ran out, and Barton
and Louis Marick put out the lights
and barricaded themselves in a back
room.
A crowd Of nearly a hundred gath
cred threatening to break into the
building and lynch Barton. Matt
Strachan, deputy sheriff, was in town.
and tried to quell the mob, but was un-
able to do so. He telephoned to Sher-
if Burau, at this place, and the sheriff
went at once to the seat of ~war. On
his arrival he succeeded in quieting the
crowd, arrested Barton and lodged
him in Jail at this place.
No other arrests have been made.
Barton admits the shooting.

due the fact that the American record OF 244
miles for twelve hours Of riding was broken
by miles and 10 laps 1t was the pace she
set last night that shattered the record, and
Anderson had her to thank for the extra 5000
she will draw, the amount offered to the one
who should make a new record. When Lisette
was not making the pace Anderson was.
FarnSworth and Peterson were satisfied with
trailing behind the leaders. They were both
suffering from their bruises and did not
care to exert themselves more than was nee
essary. Williams stayed on the track only
long enough to make her mileage, then She
retired Her knee was troubling her. and as
she could gain nothing by remaining, her
trainer took her off.
The finish tonight did not begin as early as
that of Friday night. but it was just as hot.
