Regularity matter of importance
IN every woman's life. Much pain Is,
however, endured in the belief that 1t
Is necessary and not alarming, when
in truth 1t IL all wrong and indicates
arrangement that may cause serious
trouble
Excessive monthly pain itself will
unsettle the nerves and make women
old before their time.
The foundation of woman's health Is
a perfectly normal and regular per-
formance of natures function. The
statement we print from Miss GER
TRUpE SKIES, of Eldred, Pa, is echoed
in every city, town and hamlet in this
country. Read what she says:
"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-I feel like a
new person since following your ad-
vice, and think it is my duty TO let the
public know the good your remedies
have done me. My troubles were pain
full menstruation and leucorrhea. l
was nervous and had spells of being
confused. Before using your remedies
never had any faith in patent medi-
cines. now wish 10 say that L never
had anything do me so much good for
paint menstruation as Lydia f. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; also would
| say that your Sanative Wash has cured
me Of leucorrhna. l hope these few
words may help suffering women"
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
leled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia L. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department OF
her great business, treating by letter
as many as hundred thousand ailing
women during a single year.
All suffering women are invited to
write freely to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass, for advice about their health.

BLOODY STREET FIGHT.
Two Tough Characters Have Trouble
Over the McCoy-Sharkey Match.

"MoXie" Jordan was seriously cut
on both arms by Arthur Mitchell dur
ing a street fight early Friday morn
ing on the sidewalk in front of Jim
Judges saloon on Spruce street. Roth
are pretty tough characters. Jordan
is something of a boxer.
The men reached a fighting frame of
mind inside the saloon during discus
sion of the Sharkey- Mccoy match.
They We're elected, but began opera
tions on the sidewalk. Jordan had
considerably the best of the strictly fis-
tic part of the argument and knocked
Mitchell down several times, hut the
latter finally succeeded in getting an
ugly lookingclasp knife out of his pock
ct and slashed away at Jordan in a
savage manner.
After bystanders had separated the
pair it was seen that Jordan was badly
cut. The flow of blood from his arms,
which he used in warding off the knife
thrusts, could not be staunched with the
means at hand, and he was taken to
the Lackawanna hospital. There the
wounds were dressed and after a rest
of an hour or so Jordan left for his
home on the South Side.
No arrests have been made.

Matters among the Democrats of the
Nineteenth ward are very much com
pliCated since Saturday when an al
legged attempt was made to spring n
snap caucus. Friday a large number
of voters of that political faith re-
ceived postal card notifying them
that a meeting would be held the fol-
lowing night at Cavanaugh's hall on
River street for the purpose of select
ing one candidate for common council
and one person for ward constable.
the same to be submitted to the ward
caucus the date yet to be selected. The
notice was not signed by the names
of any persons in authority, but "Nig-
ilance Committee"
At the hour named for the meeting
the hail was crowded, but the MEM
bers of the vigilance committees of the
four districts of the ward We're absent.
y. j. Mulderig, the tailor, opened re
session, and later was chosen chair
man. Patrick Campbell acted as sec
retary. The chairman announced that
nominations We're open for the seiec-
tion of a candidate for common Coun-
ell. His remarks We're construed 20
mean that the action of the meeting
was to be final with reference to the
nominations for the various ward Of
fees. There were many present who
have friends who at the regular caucus
aspire for honors, and when it ap-
peared to them that an unfair deal
was on, matters assumed serious as
pect. and many unpleasant exchanges
of opinion were made. 1t required
much persuasive eloquenCe to force the
discontinued and suspicious to believe
| that everything was on the square.
| Order being restored the names of
| Henry Spruks, Thomas A. Kelley,
! julius Troy, G. T. Boland and James
| Murray were submitted for common
| council. The two latter noted declined
! to be considered.
Richard Sheridan, the present in
| cumbent, and his following We're not
| present, and Sheridan's name was not
| given. His friends assert that his name
will be placed before the caucus. The
| wise ones, owing to the i'll feeling
aroused had action postponed on the
| cOuncilmanic matter. 1t was decided
| unanimously by the meeting to ask
the caucus to endorse Peter Allabaugh
for constable. and James Murray Tor
ward assessor. That being done the
meeting closed
The dates for the caucuses of the
Republican and Democrats have not
been designated, Notwithstanding that
it was announced that the Republicans
would assemble Friday night next. II
is safe TO say though that today Will
! probably be settled the time and date
In the Eleventh ward Friday night
next has been set for the Republicans
TO caucus. Deep interest is aroused ir
that ward in the coming fight. Beth
select and common councilmen are tC
be elected, the former to fill the va
cancy of the late Robert Robinson
term. Common Councilman Fh.liI
Wirth and John ]. Schneider, the hard
ware man, are avowed aspirants fol
the nomination of select council. Henry
Boettcher has the field to himself fo
common council. The Democrats up Il
yesterday have not agreed on the datt
for their caucus.
