If a person is ill and needs medi- cine is it not wise to get one that has stood the test of time and has hum dreds of thousands of cures to its credit?
 A great many women who are ill try everything they hear of in the way of medicine, and this experimenting with unknown drugs is a constant menace to their already impaired health.
 This seems to us very unwise, for there are remedies which are no ex- periments and have been known years and years to be doing only good.
 Take for instance Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound; for thirty years its record has been one un- broken chain of success. No medicine for female ills the world has ever known has such a record for cures.
 It 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 one 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 more genuine testimonial letters than have ever been published in the interest of any other medicine.
 All this should, and does, produce a spirit of confidence in the hearts of l women which is difficult to dislodge, | and when they are asked to take some thing else they say, |" No, we want Lydia D. Pinkham's Vegetable Com | pound, which has been tried, and never found wanting whose reliability is established far beyond the expert mental stage"

WIZARDS OF THE AIR.
Veritable Living MeteOrs With Ring
ling Bros Great Circus.

VeritabIe Living McteOrs with Ring
ling Bros Great Circus.
There is probably no single feature
of a circus program that claims so
much breathless attention or that
thrills an audience to a greater degree
than an intrepid performance upon
the flying trapeze. This is strikingly
true of the Fishers, the wonderful
aerial family, who will be seen with
Ringing Br4thers' famous big circus
when it exhibits in this city Thursday,
April 10. The performance given by
this notable family of aeralists is not
only unique, but also superior to any
thing of the kind ever seen in this
country. They actually fly through
space, turning single and double sem
ersaults in mid-air, and never failing
to catch each other at the critical mo-
ment of descent. Equally remarkable
are the thrilling aerial exploits of the
marvellous DaComas. Swinging under
the immense dome, forty feet apart.
Louis and Rose toss their sister Fan
chou across the intervening space,
catching her with outstretched hands,
and repeating the thrilling maneuver
until the audience is fairly electrified
by the daring dexterity of the perform
ance. In addition to the Fishers and
DaComas Ringing Brothers offer many
other high-class aerial novelties. Mile.
Turnour, the aerial equilibrist, is an
unrivalled artist in her line. AS mas
tiers of the aerial bars, Alvo, Boise and
Pickard are without peers in the arenic
world. Among aerial somersault div
ers the Great LIE Fleur stands alone
There are but few of the great artists
whose performances in mid-air excite
the wonder and admiration of the
thousands who daily visit this stupen-
dous show. The trained animal fea-
lures include 0'Brien's famous Sixty
one horse act, Sunlin's performing bull,
Nine. Noble and her famous menage
horse, Jupiter; three distinct troupes
of performing elephants. embracing
LockhaTt's elephant comedians, Sou
der's elephant brass band and March
and's boxing proboscidians. and a COM
plete circus of wonderfully trained
ponies, goats. dogs. pigs and other
familiar animals. The hippodrome in
PRODUCES all kinds of new and novel
races. as well as the always thrilling
and exciting contests of the Roman
Maximus. Superb exhibitions of rid
ing are given by the largest company
of lady and gentlemen equestrians ever
organized. including Albert Crandall,
whose burlesque somersault act upon
the back of mule creztes a sensation.
The menagerie is the largest geological
collection in the United States. and
embraces many rare specimens Of cost

cent free street parade. The process

The coal miners employed at
Moundsville and Glendale want to be
paid for their work at the rate agreed
upon at the Bellaire conference be-
tween operators and miners, which
was held last week. The miners had
representatives at the conference, as
they have been paid under the scale
governing Eastern Ohio, and expected
to profit by whatever advance was
granted. AS reported in the Register
the conference agreed upon an so
cent scale.
Yesterday afternoon the employees
of the Moundsville and Glendale
mines held a meeting in Moundsville,
and decided to insist upon an advance
for run of mine coal, from Sc cents per
ton, the present rate, to so cents per
ton. The men decided not to return
to work Monday morning unless the
advance be conceded to by the ope-
rators. 1t could not be learned wheth-
er conference between the two sides
was held, or whether any definite ar
rangements have been made for con-
ference during the present week.
There are about IS to 80 miners en-
ployed at the Moundsville works, and
nearly 100 at the Glendale shaft.
