shattered, as have those entertained in

of the Sioux City real estate board,
who has on behalf of Sioux City been
conducting the negotiations with Mr..
OXnard, for the location of a plant
here. The letter follows:

We will not locate a factory in IOWA

vor of expansion die out 1 shall: be
very glad to take up the subject an
other year. Unless our sugar interests
are to be protected we will not develop
any further. Yours truly,

IOWA WOMAN POISONED.
Dies Under Peculiar circumstances in
Nebraska.

NeDr0kkas
| Harbine, Neb., Feb. 3.-The coroner
and attorney of Jefferson county, To-
wa, are here holding an inquest over
the body of a young woman who died
under mysterious circumstances. Three
weeks ago the deceased, in company
with man pprportino to be her hus-
band, stopped at the residence OF Paul
Sandman, farmer, mile east of here,
where they have remained ever since.
The man,/to all appearances,is about
go years of age, while the woman is
about 35. The man pretended to be a
physician and did some practice in the
neighborhood, altho he was not regis
tered according to law. Tuesday even
| ing the woman took sick and died in
about an hour with some symptoms OF
strychnine poisoning, altho the man
claimed it was heart trouble.
At the earnest solicitation of the
Sandman family the man was induced
to send telegram to the dead wom-
ans mother. who resides at Jewell
Junction, Iowa, whose name is Bran
ham. Preparations were being made
to ship the body yesterday when sus-
| picions were aroused and the coroner
summoned. When the officer arrived
the suspect admitted that he had never
married the woman, and that he had
only been travelling with her month.
| The woman was in delicate condition
when she died.
The man is a typical New Englander,
and the woman was very attractive.
Her mother arrived last evening from
Iowa. The man gives his name as
Deming, and claims to be on his way
to Arkansas. When the woman first
died he claimed he had no strychnine
in his medicine case, but bottle OF
the drug was afterwards found.

an
Invitation
ia
Women

All the world knows of the wonder
full cures which have been made by
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound. yet some women do not realize
that all that is claimed for it is abso-
lutely true.
If all suffering women could be made
to believe that Mrs. Pinkham can do
all she says she can, their suffering
would be at an end, for they would
at once profit by her advice and be
cured.
There is no more puzzling thing than
that women will suffer great pain
month after month when every woman
knows of some woman whom Mrs.
Pinkham has helped, as the letters
from grateful women are constantly
being published at their own request.
The same arrangements which make
painful or irregular periods with
dull backaches and headaches, and
dragging-down sensations, presently
develop into those serious inf1amma-
tons of the feminine organs which
completely wreck health.
Mrs. Pinkha,n invites women to
write freely and confdentially to her
about their health and get the benefit
of her great experience with the suf-
ferings of women. No living person
can advise you so we'll. No remedy in
the world has the magnificent record
OF Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound for absolute cures of female
ills. Mrs. Pinkham's address is LYNN.

A SPLENDID DEMONSTRATION.
Parade at Chicago the Nos. Successful Ever
Managed by the Local Democracy.
(By the Associated Press.

Chicago. Nov. 3.-When W. J. Bryan
stepped down tonight from the reviewing
stand at the intersection OF plymouth
place and Jackson boulevard, from whlch
he had watched toGights Democratic
parade. and left for his home in LIN
coin, the Democratic campaign IN Chlcago'
Cook county and the State of ILLINOIS was
practically over. For hours after MI.
BRYAN had gone the cheering thousands
swept down the boulevard. for 1t was a
great parade-the greatest and most sue
cessful affair Of the kind ever managed
by the local Democracy. II was intend
cd to be the ~crowning effort of Mr..
Rrvan's followers in Chicago and the
county Of Cook. and it was a realIZa-
ton all that the most ardent Democrat
could have desired.
The weather was perfect and clear, a
bright moonlight night. with a cool breeze
blowing off Lake Michigan. The streets
we're filled with cheering multitudes that
packed the sidewalks. the windows and
found points of vantage upon tops OF
street cars and the roofs OF buildings.
1t would be difficult to tell which cheer
ed the more-the crowd Of marchers or
the crowd of onlookers. but While the
parade was in progress the streets gave
forth one continuous roar of human
voices. punctuated by shrill blasts from
tin horns and the crash of music from
the bands. All along the line of march.
which was confined entirely to theadown-
town streets, men had been stationed
with unlimited supplies of red fire and
positive injunctiOns TO keep her burn
ing The orders were Obeyed to the let
ter, and the yellow CLEANS from the
torches of the marchers Were, through
out many portions of the route, made in
significant by the crimson glare from
many fires all along the sidewalks.
Upon the reviewing stand stood Mr..
BRYAN. Senator James x. Jones. chair
man of the Democratic National Com
mittee, Mayor Harrison and a number
of lesser lights of the Democracy. The
greetings extended to the Democratic
candidate by the men in the line of march
we're enthusiastic in the extreme.
The parade was divided into three
army corps. The three corps were given
precedence in the line of march accord
ing to the number of men they were able
to bring into line, and as the west side
is as large as both the north and south
sides combined, this corps easily secured
the post OF honor. Directly behind the
commander Of the first corps came De
Baugh's Band Of fifty pieces, and then
the Cook County Democratic Marching
Club, an organization that always pre-
| sents a magnificent appearance.
There were Bryan clubs, Bryan leagues,
and Bryan and A%lshculer clubs and
leagues seemingly without limit. Even in
the command of Gen. Mcdonald. whose
men came chiefly from wards in which
all elections are eternally and hopeleSsly
Republican, the members of the ward
clubs were present in full force. Great
numbers of transparencies were carried,
many of the sentiments evoking much
larohter and amusement.
