Ambassador Choate transmits tC Secretary Hay from London the speeet delivered by Lord Kitchener at tEe opening of the bridge over the Atbars river. in the Soudan.

It was only wei into last October that the credits were authorized for the extension of the line to Khartoum. The sites of the bridge had then to be determined, the boring soundings, and sections of the rivel had to be completed, and eight saiie double piers to carry the superstfue tnre had to sHnk down to the rock be low the river bed to meet the Atbart flood, which arrived 9 days earlier than our experience led Us to expect.

How Mrs. Pinkhans HELPED MRS. G0ODEN.
[LFTrzR- ro MRs. .rIsKnAW N. .1a.-1z.

LETTER TO MRS. PISKHkM NO. i2,133l
 s.I am very grateful to you for your kindness and the interest you have taken in me, and truly believe your medicines and advice are worth more to a woman than all the doctors in the world. For years had female troubles and did nothing for them. Of course 1 became no better and finally broke down entirely. My troubles began with inflammation and hemorrhages from the kidneys, then inflammation, congestion and falling of the womb and inflammation of ovaries.
 "I underwent local treatment every day for some time; then after nearly two months the doctor gave me permis- sion to go back to work. 1 went back, but in less than a week was com pelled to give up and go to bed, On eided to let doctors and their medicine alone and try your remedies. Before the first bottle was gone I felt the cf- fects of it. Three bottles of Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound and a package of her Sanative Wash did me more good than all the doctors treat ments and medicine.
 "The first remark that greets me now is How much better you loo1r and you may be sure I never hesitate to tell the cause of my health. .a-MRs. E. J. GooDEN, AcKLEy, IA.

Deafness Cannot ne Cured

 by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an infamed condition of the mu. cous lining of the Eustachian Tube When this tube gets indamed you have a rumbline sound OF imperfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal con dition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases of of ten are caused by eatarrh, which is nothing but an inhamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness tcaused by catarrh that cannot be cured by Halls Gatarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

MCAFFERTY UNDER FIRE.
He Was CrOss-Examined Himself
Yesterday Afternoon

The case of Harry Weiss VS.. J. J. Nc
CaHerty came up for trial yesterday be-
tore Judge Otis and jury in district
court. The plaintiff, who was represented
by Brown & Howard sued to recover 81
OoO alleged to be due for professional serv-
ices. Judge Willis appeared for the de-
PENDANT, who was himself present in
court.
The plaintiff claims that during the
period from Nov. 1, 1895, to March Is 1899.
he rendered legal services worth $500 for
the defendant, from whom he saws he
has only received 81, 500 of the amount.
In his answer Judge McCafferty saws
that he hired the plaintiff when he was
fourteen years old at a salary of T.5O
per week as office boy, and gradually adj
vsnced him in responsibility as he grew
older When he was twenty-one he was
graduated from the University of Mime
sofa, and during the period he was at
tending the institution the defendant
claims to have paid him $50 per month.
After graduation, according to the an
sWer, Weiss was given the use of the de-
fendants office and library. Furthermore,
at an accounting held in February. 1897,
Weiss accepted $10O In lieu of any balance
due him. The defendant was putting in
testimony when the case was adjourned
until today.

And Clara MOffitt Says William Was
"a Recreant Spouse, Too.
William E. Mofitt was not a family
man, according to the post nuptiaI devel-
opments, if the story told Judge Lewis
yesterday in the district court by Clara
M. Motif is true. Mrs. Motif asked for
a divorce on the ground Of desertion
by her husband. 1t appeared from the
testimony of the plaintiff that there
had been an intimacy between the par
ties prior to the ceremony, and in july
1898, Moff1tt was arrested by Deputy
Sheriff Jansen and dragged to the
hymeneal altar as represented by Court
Commissioner Gallick. After leaving
the court room Mrs Moffitt went one
way and the bridegroom the other and
she has not seen him since, as she told
the court. The child has been adopted
and under the circumstances the court
granted the decree.
Amanda NJ Dibble applied for a d.
Vorce from John Fl. Dibble on the ground
of desertion. Mrs. Dibble told the court
that she had never had any trouble
with her husband. He was in the habit
Of going up to Dakota to work at the
threshing. The last time he went he
omitted to return. The case was taken
under consideration by the court.
William Sands asked for a divorce
from Matte Sands on the grounds of de-
sertion. 1t appeared that Mrs. Sands
found life with her husband 'too slow"
according to the plaintiff. The matter
was taken under consideration by the
court.
