What aLittle Faith Did
FOR MRS. ROCKWELL.


LETTER TO MRS. PINKHAM NO. 6o,ss4]
81 was a great sufferer from female
weakness and had no strength. 1t was
impossible for me to attend to my
household duties. l had tried every
thing and many doctors, but found no
relief.
my sister advised me to try Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
which l did; before using all of one
bottle felt better. I kept on with it
and to my great surprise 1 am cured.
All who suffer from female complaints
should give it trial. ."-MRs. Rock

Frankfort. Ky, Dec. S.---AN pre;ense
Of q fight for the certificate Of election
n governor has been given up by the
Goebel people. and whether a contest
will be made in the Legislature is real
" yet to be determined. 1t will de-
pend very largely upon the wording of
the opinion which Commissioners FL
Lis and Pryor will hand down at 10
O'Clock tomorrow morning. 1t implies
that the commt- sioler. believe frau was
committed which might invalidate the
election, did they as canvassing
board have the legal right to go behind
the certified returns, 1t Is almost GER
tain that q contest will be made. 9th
erwise 1t Is uncertain.
The other Democratic candidates for
the minor offices on the state ticket,
acting on the belief that .the commis-
siOners' opinion will contain implica-
tions Of fraud. have already decided to
fight before the state cOnteSting board
for the positions to which they believe
themselves entitled. They held several
conferences during the day. but it was
not definitely determined until ; O'Clock
In the afternoon to make the contest.
Commissioners Ellis and Pryor were
II vas dark before Mr. Ellis. who did
most Of the writing. had finished his
task. Neither he nor Judge Pryor made
any denial Of the fact that they would
decide that Taylor III entitled tc he
certificate. They would not discuss
the matter, but tacitly admitted it was
troe.
Commissioners Ellis and Pryor y an
ed the majority report, in which they
held, as a board Of canvassers, they
have no right to go behind the returns
Of the county boards. that their duties
are purely ministerial rs canvassers.
and that the face Of the returns a. re-
ceived by them from the counties show
the election Of the Republican state
ticket.
Accordingly. the report says, ct.eti-
fcates Of election were ordered issued
to each candidate thereon. Commfs-
siooer POyntx presents = minority re-
port. which he closes by saying:
Il am UNIV illing to certify fraud and
to turn Kentucky over to the control Of
the bayonet. Gatling gun and fraudu-
lent Tissue ballots"
Extensive preparations are bsng
made to inaugurste Taylor next Tues
day.

MINING ENTERPRISE IN MEXICO

- Opssoss1 - . LAsDs Baaaa
]. A. 6nedaker Of this city. who has
spent the last two months investlEAt-
Ing the mining resources Of the state OF
Chihuahsa, Mexico. has returned to
Denver. says the Republican, and
speaks very favoraihy Of the present
cooditiOns and future prospects Of that
country.
1T Ii not . poor mans camp. by any
means" said be. and can he made
profitab BILE only by the use Of large
amounts OF capital and by the most ex-
tensiye operations. The ore and the
general formation Of the country II in
many rs~pects very similar to what We
md In Colorado. Both sulphides aud
oxides are found, and the veins are
large and well defined. In my judg-
ment the ore is Of lower grade than
would b. found In veins Of the same
character In this state. but labor and
transportation are cheap. and the only
drawback to the country 10 the dim
Guilty In keeping up supplies. b4ah Of
prov isiOns and materials for mining.
The large companies operating there
have to keep up line for supplies juse
like an army. This situation 10 bsing
relieved somewhat By the Aosn,ons,
who are forming c0ionIes whefever
they can secure water for irrlGadO0,
and In cOurse Of time they win -
aide TO raise all the food soppates need-
ID by the miners. The cOuntFy = being
rapidly penetrated by rallroads, al ~
they ase cheaply operated freighf rates
are very reaso0AbSe. The countFy y
much lower than Colorado. there are
few II any heavy grades TO overcome
and the absence Of snow is an import
ant economic feature. Labor 10 cheap.
