Over burdened
Women.

Many a man sees his wife bend and
tug at burdens that strain the back and
the heart alike, without any idea of the
outrage Children follow in too quick
succession to allow the mother time to
recuperate. The wonanly organs become
displaced, there are facilitating, disagree
able drains, with the added pain of in
famed or liberated parts. In this condi-
ton the woman bravely tries to carry her
household load, afraid TO take the rest she
needs lest a meal will be late. No wonder
she is pale, weak, wretched, surly Of tenn
per and snappish of tongue. She would
be false TO nature IL she were anything else.
No persons need help SO much as the class
of whom this woman is the type. And for
such women no help is so sure, so wonder
full, as that given by DIR. Pierce's Favorite

they did not stop making his presence

Rear Admiral Sampson 1T might give rise 20
a suspicion that he was inspiring them. He
further explained that he had no quarrel
with Admiral Sampson. and that neither in
public nor private had he ever mentioned or
alluded TO his fellow-officer except in the
spirit and language one gentleman should

Town Elected by 10000.

DIES MONIES, Ia, Nov. S.-Returns from
ninety Of the ninety-nine counties of the
State. with estimates on the others, show
that the Republican claim Of $1,000 plurality

estimated at $4,000. which is the largest in
the history os the State on the gubernator-
ial vote. Based on the vote of 1895. the vote
this year shows an increase OF
about per cent. for the Republicans and
~ per cent for the Democrats, which would
make the total Republican vote in the
neighborhood of 243o00 and the total Demo-
cratic vote about 10000 But this is a fall
ing off from the vote of 1891 of and 10 per
cent respectively.

Republicans and IL Democrats, a gain of
seventeen votes on joint ballot for the Re-
publicans. Both the Gear and Cummins
forces claim a majority OF the Republican
votes fer the United States senatorship.

best acquainted with the subject hold that
Great Britain, Germany and Russia will CO.

any objection comes it is likely to arise in

and Cochin China is to give preferential
rates to French goods and make discrimina-

assurance that American commerce will be
on equal terms in those parts Of China
