Two Letters Which Prove

Other Weakness.

1.-TWO years ago I was a great :
sufferer from womb trouble and pro.
fuse flowing each month, and tumors
would form in the womb. had four
tumors in two years. I went through
treatment with doctors, but they did
me no good, and 1 thought 1 would
have to resort to morphine.
1.-THE doctor said that all that could
help me was to have an operation andn
have the womb removed, but I had
heard of Mrs. Pinkham's medicine and
decided to try it, and wrote for her
advice, and after taking her Vegetable
Compound the tumors were expelled
and 1 began to get stronger right
along, and am as well as ever beforeA
Can truly say that I would never had
gotten well had it not been for Lydia

Talk
With Women

If a person is i'll and needs q medi-
cine is it not wise to get one that has
stood the test of time and has hum
dreds of thousands Of Ire to its
credit?
+ A great many women who are i'll try
everything they hear of in the way Of
medicine, and this experimenting with
unknown drugs is . constant menace
to their already impaired health.
This seems to us very unwise, for
there are remedies which r no ex-
periments and have been known years
and years to be, doing only good.
Take for instance, Lydia =. Pink
years its record has been one, un-
broken chain, of success. No .medi-
cine for female ills the world has ever
known has such q record for cures.
1t seems so strange that some people
will take medicines about which they
really know nothing, some Of which
might be, and are, really harmful;
while on the other hand it is easily
proved that over q million women
have been restored to health by Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
We have published in the news
papers of the United. States moro
genuine testimonial letters than have
ever been. published in the interest Of
any other medicine.
All this should, and does, produce .
spirit of confidence in the hearts of
women which is difficult to dislodge,
and when they are asked to take some
thing else they say, "No, we want

never found wanting, whose reliability
is established far beyond the expert
mental stage"

The Turkish government shows
it's special brand of progressiveness
by prohibiting the importation of
all apparatus connected with cleo

however is that it was deemed ne

Cando Record:

Geo. W. II. Davis was in from
Starkweather Monday. Mr.. Davis
recently received the nomination
for representative on the Republic
can ticket from the voters of
Ramsey county, by an almost
unanimous vote. It came as a
complete surprise to him, as he
was not looking for the Office, and
bis name had not been mentioned
until about the time the con-
vention assembled. It seems to
have been a clear case of the Office
seeking the man.

Republican Ticket.
THE VICE PRESIDENCY.

Many people seem to have the
idea that the vice-president is
merely anonenity who is waiting
fol, an accident. This idea is
entirely erroneous, as the trainers
of the constitution did not SO look
upon the office. With them the
vice. pr; 8 ID was the second
officer of the government, the
presidents successor in case of
dadeath or removal.
The earlier Americans regarded
8 the viiacee-president as the natural
successor of the president, with
swhoms he served. Adams sue
t@ceeded Washington, and jefferson
succeeded Adams, and even later
Martin VanBuren succeeded Jack
son by election. -Four %vice-presi-
dents have succeeded to the presi-
dency through the death of the
president-John Tyler, Willard
Fillmore, Andrew johnson and
Chester A. Arthur. Thus, out of
the "a vice presidents seven,
nearly one-third, have in n way
and another attained to the presi-
dency.
Adams, Jefferson and Burr were
succeeded as vice-presidents by
George Clinton, who was the first
governor of the state of New York.
and held the Office for many terms.
New York has since been the
mother Of vice-presidents as
Virginia was mother of presidents.
Aaron Burr, George Clinton,
Daniel D. Tompkins, Martin Van
Buren,, Willard Fillmore, William
A. Wheeler and Levi P. Morton
form a long list of distinguished
names.
The north has had in the vice
presidents chair many more repre-
sentatives than the south. The
first southern man after Jefferson
and unquestionably the greatest
was John G. Calhoun. He was
succeeded by Richard M. johnson
of Kentucky, a very able man,
whose claims to admiration were
somewhat obscured by the belief
that he killed Tecumseh. John
Tyler, William R. King-who died
shortly after being sworn into
o&ce-John 9. Breckenridge and
Andrew johnson we're the other
southern vice presidents.
There seems, therefore, no
reason for anybody regarding the
vice-presidency as anything diff
ferent from what it was thought OF
by the founders of our govern.
ment. The Republican party evi.
IDENTIFY took this view Of the
question when it nominated
Roosevelt the other day, as the
present governor Of the state Of
New York is fully capable and
equal to the demands of the first
place.

THE FIFTH CAVALRY.
An Enjoyable Reunion of Veterans
Held at Mansur Hall.

About one hundred veterans OF the Fifth
Indiana Cavalry assembled at a campfire
held In Mansur Hall last night and re-
newed their youth and again cemented
their friendship for one another in telling
again the stories of past in which they
fought, struggled. starved and suffered to-
gether for the sake of common purpose.
Many of the old comrades were trembling
and palsied with age, others with hair
just turning gray. Some had lost an arm
and other were minus leg, but the same
spirit which sent them out to follow the
flag through the battles of the civil war
could still be noted in the flashing eye,
the Involuntary Strengthening Of a figure
plause which followed every reference to
"Old Glory" and the martial strains OF
the orchestra.
Some of the boys" who had evidently
only seen the funny side of the war. en-
livened their hearers with ludicrous stories
of camp life, while others told tales Of
suffering and privation. The programme
was entirely informal and consisted OF brief
talks interspersed with patriotic music by
the orchestra. President b. c. Smith pre-
sided, and the welcome address was made
by ID. l.. Brown, of this city. Col. L. II.
Butler, of Baltimore, the former colonel
of the regiment, responded to the address.
Others who spoke were: l.. j. Bruner, OF
Portland; Milt Morris, of Greenfield: w.
w. Daily. of Winchester: Captain Heller,
of Indianapolis; David Pattie, OF Carmel;
Capt. S. l.. Pierce, OF Indianapolis; Capt.
w. w. Angel, of Bluffton, and others.
The members of the regiment will hold a
business meeting to-day and elect officers
for the ensuing year.

trial was ended Charles Sewage brought
suit for divorce from his wife. Anna Sell
wage, and asked for the custody of their
little daughter. For three days Judge Car
