NO WOMAN is EXEMPT.

Regularity is a matter of Importance
in every woman's life. Much pain is,
however, endured in the belief that it
is necessary and not alarming, when
in truth it is 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 womans health is
a perfectly normal and regular per-
formance of natures function. The
statement we print from Miss GER
TRUDE SKIES, of Eldred, Pa, is echoed
in every city, town and hamlet in this
country. Read what she says:
"DEAR Mrs. PINKEAM:-I feel like
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. I
was nervous and had spells of being
confused. Before using your remedies
l never had any faith in patent medi
cines. now wish to say that I never
had anything do me so much good for
painful menstruation as Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; also would
say that your Sanative Wash has cured
me of leucorrhea. I 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 E. 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 single year.
All suffering women are invited to
write freely to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass, for advice about their health.

two Chinese pumping lead into the body
Of a third Chinaman, who lay at their

Further up the alley were at least a
dozen Cinnamon running about and
blazing away at each other. AS Rapelji
ran up the alley a Chinaman ran past

dropped on the steps by bullet from
the highbinder's gun, which struck him
in the head, killing him instantly Ra-

up to the Chinaman, Chin Chi, who
was standing in doorway, and delber-

to run. whereupon Morss ordered him

Boston, April 19.-The Sons of the
revolution observed patriots day this
afternoon by unwilling tablet upon
the tomb in Kings chapel burying
ground, which marks the resting place
OF William Dawes, whose daring night
ride of April 1919, 1879, was of the
same character and accomplished the
same purpose as the ride of Paul Re

banquet at the Hotel vendome, at
Which Senator Hoar and Former Unit
ed States Minister to Spain Hannis
Taylor were the principal speakers
Senator Hoar said:
We should as soon have thought
three years ago of asking the savior
of mankind to come down from the
mount and take service under Roman
centurion or go into the employ of
Tiberius, in order not to be isolated as
to have asked the American people to
descend from it's lofty height to engage
in the diplomatic quarrels of Europe
or the sufferers in Apia.
MIR. President I do not believe that
the character of the American people
had changed in twelvemonth; I be-
lieve that the principles of constitu-
tfon and the declaration, the doctrine
on which the revolution was fought
and won. are still dear to the hearts
of the American people,

What Bryan Thinks Should BE Done in
the Philippines.

Fresno, Cal, April 19.-'William j.
Bryan has written letter to the
Fresno Democrat giving his views on
imperialism. The letter is as follows:
Mr. Mark r. Plaisted, Fresno
Cal.-Dear Sir: In answer to your re-
quest for an article on the Philippine
question for your paper, 1 regret to
say that the pressure of work upon me
at this time makes it imposs Bile for me
to write a length.
Mr.. Mckinley announced in his Bos-
ton speech that the policy of the gov
eminent respecting the Philippines was
in the hands of the American people
1t is question which the people must
settle. and much depends upon it's set
Element.
II think it can be shown from pecu-
mary standpoint that it will cost us
more to conquer the Filipinos and keep
them in subsection than We shall be
able to make out of the enterprise, and
that the money which does return from
the Philippines will not find it's way
to the pockets of those who supply sons
for the army and through taxation fur
nish the sinews of war. 1t also invites
Oriental immigration to compete with
American labor. but there is a higher
view to take of 1t than the money
view.
The principle of conquest is wrong.
Our HatlOn mas sIernly cOntended
against it, and it is impossible to CAL
culate the far reaching effect upon our
people of a decline that would substi-
tute force for reason in the determine
ton of"the nations policy. Those who
oppose Imperialism plead not for the
Fllipinos, but for the American people.
Our nation is strong enough to do
harm, but it ought to be too great to
do wrong.
1T feel PnnfHant that the Snhnr Saannl
thought of the American people will
sustain those who believe that the Fill
pinos should be treated like the Cubans,
namely-given their independence and
protected from outside interference
Very truly yours w. j. BRYAN"

No Truth in the Story That President
Burt Is to BE Crowded Out.

Omaha, April 19.-At Union Pacific head
quarters the story that President Burt is
likely to be forced out is scoffed at Mr..
Burt himself is not in the city, but Off
Gals of the company who are here say
there is every evidence that the president
has the entire confidence of the directors
That there is some truth in the rumors
pertaining to Il reimbursement of traffic
turned over by the Union Pacific to East
ern lines is admitted to be probable. but
it is not thought this win occur until the
completion of the Illinois Central to this
city, which is several months in the flu
ture. A Northwestern official stated that
should the other roads interested succeed
in abrogating the agreement between that
line and the Union Pacific it was not i'm
probable that the Elkhorn would be built
west from Casper to a connection with
the Central Pacific at Ogden, but that
belongs to the troubles of next year, if it
ever comes"

A Scathing Arraisnment of the Lake City
Lynchers.

Charleston, S. c.. April 19.-The ar
gument in the Lake City case occupied
both sessions of the United States court
here to-day. .- ...
J. P. X. Bryan opened the case for
the government. His address, which
continued for four hours, was a terrible
arraignment of the crime of lynchng
and of the prisoners at the bar. Dur
ing the course of it he declared that
human life is cheaper in South Caro-
lima than 4 cent cotton. He charged
that the lynchers and their friends had
mutlated public records in order to
shield the prisoners.
Judge LeGare replied for the defense.
He declared that President Mckinley
had himself laid the foundation for the
lynching by appointing a negro to the
postoffice at Lake City. He was speak

those who misrepresent the virtue, the
intelligence and the wishes of the peo-
pie (Great applause).
A Mighty Demonstration.
When Mr.. Bryan closed there was a
mighty demonstration. Men and wo-
men made frantic efforts to shake him
by the hand, and it required the serv-
ices of several policemen to rescue the
speaker and escort him to one of the
reception rooms. He remained until
the crowd had largely dispersed, and
then was driven to the Hotel Barthol-
di. AS he emerged into the street and
got into his carriage he was greeted
again by cheers. several hundred peo-
pie waiting to get a farewell glimpse
of him.
Colonel Bryan said he was more than
delighted with the kindness of his re-
ception. He will go to Syracuse to-
morrow and speak there in the even
