[LErrEa TO MRS pINxHAA NO. 7a,so6l
 s.You have saved my life, snatched me from the brink of the grave almost, and I wish to thank you. About eigh- teen months ago was a total wreck, physically I had been troubled with leucorrhoea for some time, but had given hardly any attention to the trouble.
 At last inflammation of the womb and ovaries resulted and then l suf- fered agonies, had to give up my pro- fession (musician and piano player), was confined to my bed and life became a terrible cross. My husband sum moned the best physicians, but their benefit was but temporary at best. l believe I should have contracted the morphine habit under their care, if my common sense had not intervened.
 One day my husband noticed the ad- vertisement of your remedies and inn mediate1y bought me a full trial. Soon the pain in my ov.sries was gone. l am now well, strong and robust, walk, ride wheel, and feel like girl in her teens. would not be without Lydia k. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound; it is like water of life to me. I am very gratefully and sincerely your we'll wisher, and heartily recommend your remedies. I hope some poor creature may be helped to health by reading my story. ."-MRs. Cor. E. P. RICHARDSON, RRNELANDER, WIS.

The other was the property of the Ridgefield syndicate and was occu. pied by Adams & Keeler. Both build ings were used for the storage of car riages and hay. At II 80, fire was dis covered in the barn occupied by MT Whitloek Every effort was made to save the building but the flames had ob- tained good start. While the fire de- partment was using it's efforts, sparks en- tered the capalo of the barn occupied by Adams & Keeler, setting fire to the hay now. The barn was quickly in flames and burned down in spite of the efforts to put out the flames. The loss was fairly covered with insurance. The barns were loested at the north end of Main street. The Methodist church and parsonage snd several residences narrowly escaped catching fire. Frank Wright, who was visiting his father -in-law, MT Hoyt, q half mile distant from the confiagration, came down to the scene Of the fire, with others from Mir Hoyt's household.
