those six long, dreary, miserable years.
Think of the distress of a refined, modest
woman during the useless examinations
and treatment of four different doctors who
each and all failed to give her any comfort.
Think of all this and then think-that she
was finally cured-completely, wholly, per
manently cured right in the privacy of her
home without the abhorrent "examina-
tons" and local treatment so uniformly
insisted upon by home physcians-cured
Just as she might have been six years before.
These are simply the facts in the case of
Mrs. M. B. Wallace, of Muenster, Cook
Co., Texas, who writes
ii had been great sufferer from female weak
ness. tried four doctors and none did me any
good suffered six years but at last l found
relief l followed your advice, and took four
bottles of Golden Medical Discovery and eight

Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a
medicine made for Just one purpose-to
cure disorders or diseases of the feminine
organism. 1t is the only preparation of its
kind introduced by regularly graduated
physican-a skilled specialist in the dis
eases of women, whose thirty years of sue
cessful practice are guarantee of health to
all sufferers who consult him.
Every woman may write fully and con-
fdentially to DR.. r. V. Pierce, Buffalo
N. Y, and may be sure that her case
will receive careful, conscientious conf
dental consideration, and that the best
medical advice in the world will be given
to her ABSOLUTELY free.
In addition to this free advice DR.. Pierce
will send paper bound copy of his great
900 page book ''The Common Sense Med
ical Adviser" to any one who will send al
one cent stamps to pay the cost of mailing

ALetter To Ellis Glenn.

Ellis Glenn, the interesting prisoner
at the county jail, received the follow
ing letter several days ago, addressed
to miss Ellis Glenn, Parkersburg, w.
Va, care of Jailor," which was hand
ed to the prisoner, who, after reading
it, handed it back to the jailor, dis
claiming all knowledge of the writer
or any one mentioned in the letter, but
expressed a desire for the photograph
spoken of.
The letter is as follows:
Addison, w. Va, Dec. 2S, 1899.
Dear Ellls-Your mother says she
is coming down to see you. She says
she is sure she would know you since
you wear your proper dress.
have a picture of yours which was
taken 10 or IL years ago; do you want
it? Please write me and answer my
former letters. The photo l refer to
resembles the one Miss Duke had very
much. Yours, etc.,
B. D. HUTCHINSON.
A lady residing in the vicinity of the
Jail sent the prisoners some papers a
few days ago. In note of acknowl-
elgement the prisoner says she greatly
appreciated the kindness, as no one
knows the misery that prisoners en-
dure being shut out from the world
until they experience it themselves
She says that her life has been given
up in doing good to others, but in this
she overlooked those in prison. Here
after she would minister to those in
prison whenever the opportunity
would offer. All of which sounds very
nice-Sentinel.

of the -four hundred" The past two
years have seen the departure Of
large number to make their homes in
the Eastern metropolis, and lately
they have gone at the rate Of one
week. For instance. James B. Breese.
the broker, left to make Gotham his
residence. Recently Charles B. Nc
Donald, the broker and golf man. an
nounced that he would say goodbye.
Next comes the departure of Frederick
X. Pulsifer, one of the leading mem
bers Of the board of trade, to swell the
list of ex-Chicagoans in the east. One
of Chicago's best known corporation
lawyers will follow him in the early
summer. Samuel M. Nickerson, late
president of the First National bank,
has bought home In New York, and
has also his son Roland, a popular
young clubman. H. H. Porter, presi-
dent of the Chicago and eastern Illi-
nois railway. shook the Chicago dust
from his shoes about two years ago
and went to New York. He gave as
his reason the excessive taxation and
persecution against corporations. The
removal of the steel and tin plate COM
panies' headquarters took not only a
train load of employees away from
here, but also ex-Judge Gray. the
counsel. While Mr.. Yerkes is still
here, he maintains home in New
York. and is quite as much, II not
more. in New York as he is here.
James w. Ellsworth, capitalist and art
lover, is no longer of Chicago. and re-
Gently resigned his South Park COM
missionership to reside in New York.
w. H. Moore, the great promoter Of
multi-millionaire corporations, has
moved into Fifth avenue home he
recently bought. D. G. Reid and w. E.
Refs are among the other Chicago citi-
zens who have given up their allegi-
ance. and 1t is said that John w. Gates
will follow their example soon. He
maintains an office there now. 1t is
estimated that altogether the city, by
these and other removals of persons
and corporations, has lost several mil
lion dollars.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

than that which the Monitor Merrimac
fight signalized generation ago in
naval warfare. A new military truism
has been evolved from the terrible ex-
periences OF three British armies dur
ing the past three months. namely.
that an intrenched force equipped with
modern small arms is invincible
against any frontal attack made In the
open. When this proposition was first
made on behalf of the armies of Bull
Ter, Gatacre and Methuen. 1t was re-
ceived more as a charitable excuse
from apologists for British disasters
than AS q genuine military discovery.
There is no doubt that British gener-
ais. nearly all of them. have been gull
ty of grave tactical blunders. but there
in no doubt also that the science OF
war has changed. 1t is a change.
moreover. which initiates against the
favorite methods of British campaign
ing more than against those of any
other country. 1t is a change which
robs war of half its martial glory. a
change which minimizes valor and
substitutes the cool. silent brainwork
OF good chess player for the charge
Of a light brigade. 1t Is not
welcome change for officers
or men IN this country. It does
not reduce the hardships of war; 1t In
creases its drudgery and tedium. and
almost eliminates its excitement and
opportunity for personal distinction.
In word. It will make war rnd mill
tary life unpopular for the rank and
file. The ultimate effect will probably
be distinct decline In the martial
spirit which is the indispensable main
stay of all armies. The birth OF this
new martial era is now chronicled in
all the letters coming from the front
which are based upon sound military
judgment. The event Is recorded in
every instance with evident dlsap-
pointment. for the writer's do not con-
ceal their regret that war has been
stripped Of the greater part Of Its ex-
hilaration and Its individual and col
lective heroism. But the lesson has
been forced home in deadly fashion.

Travelling in the Klondike has now
become pleasure. instead of hard
ship. writes a Lawson City corre-
spondent under date of February 10.
The mighty Yukon river has been con-
verted into winter bicycle path, and
you can wheel from Dawson City to
Circle City along probably the most
picturesque path in the world.
Since the Yukon has become solidly
frozen there has been a boom in
cycling. Every one who has wheel
is spinning along the glossy surface
of the river, and bicycle parties and
bicycle clubs are now more discussed
than gold. In a word, the Klondike
has the wheeling craze, and has it bad.
The bicyclists in the states who
heretofore have boasted of their cen
tury runs on hard dirt roads have had
tame sport compared with the wheel
men of the Klondike. Imagine taking
century spin along frozen river
walled along the sides with snow-clad
mountains, that sparkle like millions
of diamonds. Think of a scene like
this: of river frozen solid and per-
fectly smooth for a distance of 365
miles. This is the wonderful road
that is open to the cyclists of this part
of the world, and they are making the
best of 1t. The record trip of the Arc
tic cycling season was made in Febru-
airy by Morris Levy, between Dawson
and Circle City. The distance be-
tween the two points is 365 miles. Levy
made 1t in three days and four hours,
or at a gait of better than 100 miles a
day.
Among those starting over the Daw-
son-Nome trail last month were two
women, both riding bicycles. As
many as 600 persons have started on
the long journey of 1000 miles over
the ice with dog teams for Nome.
Among them are women, chiefly va
riety actresses. The daily departures
from Dawson to Nome run from ten
to twenty men.
The finding of s6i nugget on No.
Guy Gulch and the combined sensa
tional returns from Sulphur Creek,
particularly No. 46, are the principal
features of the Klondike mining situa-
tion.
A conservative estimate of the years
output at Dawson is $30.000,00 No.
46 is literally alive with gold. Care

few days ago. It marked the eleventh
removal of the remains of the mar
