Facts
for
Wo.,,en

Any article, whatever its merit,
must be made known to the public by
means of advertising. Advertising.
however, though it can do much for
thing, cannot do everything 1t may
create a sale for a time, but in order
to insure a lasting demand the thing
advertised must have solid worth.
This is the case with Lydia Il. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. It has
solid worth.
Women everywhere have learned
this fact, and the result is that there
is a lasting and absolutely unequaled
demand for 1t. 1t has the largest sale
of any remedy for female ills in the
world, and this has been the case for
years.
The reason for this is that Mrs.
Pinkham claims nothing that she is
not entitled to claim. She can do all
that she says she can do, and her
twenty years of experience make her
advice invaluable. Herexperience has
been not only long but worldwide,
and she has helped more women back
to health than any one else in the
world. These facts should. and do,
have immense weight with all sensible
women. Remember these are not wild
statements but solid facts.

[News-Democrat Leased Wire Service. ]
Washington, April 1S.-There is a
large number Of Kentuckians at the
various hotels here. They have not any
particular business to bring them here,
they are simply interested. They want
to watch developments in the guber-
material case that has reached the
United States supreme court, or If they
cannot do that they just want to keep
in touch with the men who are watching
the developments. They are all agreed,
1t seems, upon allowing the impression
to grow stronger that, be the decision
what 1t may, the people Of Kentucky
will abide by 1t.
Taylor, Republican incumbent Of the
Office. paid his respects to President
Mckinley late yesterday. He said his
visit was merely of social character.
He will remain in Washington three
or four days. He declined to discuss
the Kentucky situation.

Washington, April 1S.-Diplomatic
relations between the United States and
Turkey may be broken off any day
The question of the claim of the United
States for 100000 damages for the de-
struction of American church property
during the Armenian outrages has
reached a state of conclusion.
A final demand for payment has been
made. The note was sent to the Turkish
government today and it's language was
couched in unmistakable terms. 1t does
not threaten war If the demands Of the
United States are not complied with,
but emphatically states that unless
there is a speedy settlement of the claim
diplomatic relations between the two
countries will be severed. No specific
time for the payment was set, Turkey
was simply and plainly told to make
the payment Immediately"
QUESTION OF DIPLOMACY.
Washington, April 1S.-Secretary Hay
will blaze another path in diplomacy
If hehands his passport to the Turkish
minister because the Sultan has not
paid the claim. Men skilled in diplo-
macy say that such action would be un-
precedented and would not accomplish
the end desired. A former representa-
tive of this country at Constantinople
said today that If the Turkish minister
is packed back home the sultan would
Danish American diplomatic and con-
sular representatives. He predicted
that rioting would result and that there
would be no redress for injury to Amer
leans or damage to their property. The
United States cannot force payment OF
the claim by seizing Turkish ports, be-
cause all of them are held by repre-
sentatives of European bond holders
These would be backed up by their re-
spective governments. Should he try
to take one of them it would mean to
fight all Europe. Possibly Secretary
Hay is ready to do that, but the Turk
ish treasury is in a chronic state Of
bankruptcy and the general impression
here is that nothing can be done but tc
await the sultan's pleasure. If the or
dinary course of procedure was followed
Secretary Hay would ask congress tc
retaliate by discriminating against Tur-
kish commerce.

COLSON ON TRIAL.

Of Scott,

lNews-Democrat Leased Wire Service. ]
Frankfort, April 1S.-The trial of Col.
David b. Colson, the ex-congressman
who participated in a duel last January
in which three men were killed and sew
eral others injured, himself among
them, begun today.
Captain Ben d. Golden, who was Sc
riously wounded in the battle, was the
first witness. He is expected to be the
star witness for the prosecution. Col
den said he came to Frankfort the
morning of the shooting and saw Lieu
tenant Scott and told him that he had
seen Colson.
Scott and I afterward met Colson
on the street. He walked out to one
side of the pavement and scowled at
Scott as we passed. Scott did not
change his course. Later Scott and 1
entered the Capital hotel and went to
the check room to get Scotts overcoat.
We stopped near the cigar stand and
then walked over to within few steps
of the front door and saw Colson sitting
to my right near the window. saw him
raise up and from under his macintosh
produce big blue looking pistol. He
took step or two sideways, I looked
around and then saw a man whom I
took to be Scott jump in q crouching
position behind another man. He had
his hand in his pistol pocket. Colson
raised his pistol and lowered 1t again.
He then studied the gun across his
wrist and fired. Meantime the man I
took to be Scott had grabbed the man
In front of him. Colson fired the first
shot. Two or three other shots were
fired rapidly and ran back in a stoop-
ing position toward the door at the
back Of the Office. While I was thus
running l received bullet in the back.
/ did not see who fired the shot. was
not armed. No one handed me a pistol
and did not fire pistol"
On cross-exalnination Golden said:
when saw Colson raise and expose
the pistol my first impulse was to Jump
and grab Colson and disarm him, but
was prevented from doing it by hear
ing a noise behind me and saw the
sliding movement of a man I believed
was Scott. was afraid IL disarmed
Colson he might be shot by Scott
while he was disarmed."

London, April 1S.-Aside from General
Roberts dispatch of yesterday, saying
that the British force at Wepener was
still surrounded, there is nothing new
from the theatre Of war. Roberts re-
port indicates that General Rumble and
General Brabant are closing in on the
Beers at Wepener from north and
south. The losses among Dalghetty's
force are now reported as twenty killed
and 100 wounded.
The fact that all references whatso-
ever to the situation at Bloemfontein
have now been suppressed leads to the
belief that General Roberts will begin
the advance northward this week.
The publication of General Roberts
criticism of General Butler has created
a sensation. Most of the papers, while
deploring the revelation, seem to think
the censure deserved. There is a gen.
eral feeling that the effect Of the publi-
cation OF the dispatches on the army
can only be demoralizing one. Few
dissent from the opinion that the recall
or resignation of Butler and Warren
will follow as a matter of course.
CATHOLICS DISAGREE.
Capetown, April 1S.-A meeting of
Catholics called last night to resolve
on an address Of welcome to the Duke
of Norfolk, who will arrive here shortly
with the Sussex yeomanry, broke up in
a row, owing to a clash between Brit
ish and Boer Catholics. The latter
finally retired from the meeting.

London, April 1S.--It is reported that
General Warren has been recalled and
that General Butler has asked to be re-
