DROWNED IN a WELL.
Spencer Stanford, an Aged Negro, Fell
Into a Well Near Corner of second
and Red Cross streets.

Ar aged negro by the name of Spen-
Ger Stanford fell into a we'll about 7:40
o'clock last night and was drowned,
his body being now in the morgue at
the. city hospital.
Stanford went to the residence of
Miss Lou 3. Smith, No. POS Red Cross
street, about 7:30 o'clock last night and
asked for something to eat. He was
given a plate of food and he turned to
h we'll, which was uncovered, in the
back yard and sat down to eat. Miss
Smith noticed at the time that he SEEM
ed to be right much under the influence
of whiskey, but took no further notice
of him. Very soon, however, she heard
the we'll chain ra- ling considerably
and on going to investigate found that
the old negro had fallen, head foremost,
into the well. Notice was sent to po-
lice headquarters and. Sergeant Smith
took the matter in hand.
Every effort to get the negro out
proved futile, until Captain w. P.
Monroe, of the Hook and Ladder Com
pany, brought the truck and two lad
ders to the we'll. Then two ladders,
each about fifteen feet long, were low
cred into the well and Ladderman
Wanamaker went down and, with the
assistance of the men above, hauled
the negroes body out. Every spark of
life had, however, long since gone out
as the body was in the water, head
foremost, and submerged to the an
kles, for more than an hour and a half.
The coroner was summoned to the
scene of the accident and had the body
to the morgue at the city hos
pital to await burial today. An in
quest was not deemed necessary.
Stanford was about so years old and
was we'll known about town. He was
a carpenter by trade, but was in the
employ of the city as a street hand for
quite a while. He was addicted to
drink and was often taken to the city
prison, charged with being drunk and
down.

seven years last July, when Mr.. Post
departed this life. At that time Mrs.
Post was herself very i'll and could not
see her husband or attend the funeral.
Mrs. Post came of one of the Oldest and
most esteemed families in Virginia and
vas a most admirable lady, greatly ad-
mired by a wide circle of friends for
her man womanly qualities.
In the loss of their mother, the two
surviving sons, Messrs. james F. Post
and Thomas r. Post, have the sincerest
sympathy of a wide circle of friends
throughout the country.
The deceased has lived in the home
of her son, Mr.. James F. Post, for a

lister to her wants, alleviate her suffer-
ings and shed sunshine upon the de-
Ginning years of her life.

Two Letters which Prove
that Lydia e. Pinkhass's
Vegetable Compound Will
Remove Tus71og' and Cure
Other Female Weakness,

Two years ago l 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. / went through
treatment with doctors, but they did
me no good, and / thought / would
have to resort to morphine.
"The doctor said that all that could
help me was to nave an operation and
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 juniors were expelled
and 1 began to get stronger right
along, and am as we'll as ever before.
Can truly say that l would never had
gotten well had it not been for Lydia
E. Pinkham's Compound. MARY A.

After following the directions
given in your kind letter for the treat
ment of leucorrhea, / can say that l
have been entirely cured by the use
of Lydia E. Pinkham's remedies, and
will gladly recommend them to my
friends. A. Is. DAvIDs, Binghamton.

Common

ETZ
y aAR with
Uvcznseg,

If a person is i'll and needs a medi-
cine is it not wise to get one that has
stood the Test Of the and has hun
dreds of thousands of cures to It's
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 haze 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 I'M
broken chain of success. No medicine
for female ills the world has over
known has such a record for cures.-
1t seems so strange that some people
VIII 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
f. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound.
We have published in the news
paper of the United States more
genuine testimonial letters than have
ever been published in the interest q
any other medicine.
All this should, and does, produce 2
spirit of confidence in the hearts ot
women which is difficult to dislodge.
and when they are asked to take ONE
thing else they say, No, we want
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, which has been tried. and
never found wanting. whose reliability
is established far beyond the expert
mental stage"
We have thousands of letters like the
following addressed to Mrs. Pinkham,

Bryan at the New York Democratic
Club.

I'LL
New York, January 23.-Tonight Mr..
Bryan dined at the democratic club as
the guest of President John w. Keller,
with twelve others. The club house
was crowded from ) o'clock. Seats
were at a premium in the dining room.
The crowd pushed and thronged and
jostled and smoked and discussed ey-
erything waiting for the guest of the
evening.
At 1880 o'clock he drove up with
James S. Oliver, sergeant-at-arms of
the national democratic committee,
and Ex-Governor Hogg, of Texas. The
great crowd in the corridor through
which the party a to push gave three
cheers for Bryan. Mr.. Bryan met with
much applause in the brilliantly illumi-
mated room.
Senator Grady and Mr.. Bryan told
some funny stories and there seemed
to be a comradie of the fourteen diners.
For a little over an hour Colonel Bryan
and his fellow diners at the little table
ate and drank.
AT the close Mayor Van Wyck enter
ed the room and sat down next to Mr..
Bryan, with whom he converSed. Then
in the large reception room a line was
formed and President Keller i~ntroduc-
ed those who shook hands with the
guest, including nearly all the heads
of the city departments. Shortly after
ward, complaining of a headache, he
was driven TO his hotel.
II am very much pleased with the
cordiality of my reception" he said.
1T does not seem possible that there
could be many more persons gottSn in
the place."
After Mr.. Bryan had left ex-Govern-
or Hogg said: This shows that there
is no d~issension. The club has given
Mr.. Bryan a royal reception. OF course
he is here not as a guest of the club,
but you al see he is welcomed by all
the members"
