You can hardly realize how wide S015 inches is. Take a tape measure and mark il off, and you will understand how amazed I was. There's a fortune here for the man who will come in and start a saw and blaming mill.

I had nine duck suits made to order for me here, and paid S25.50 ill gold for the entire lot. l pay eight cents a suit for washing it. They never saw washboard here. They wet and soap the clothes and then thrash them on the stones, swinging them over their heads as you would fail. There is not a cook stove in Manila save those brought here by our boys.

NO PARTIAL RESUMPTION.
What President Mitchell Says About the
Miners Strike.


Miners Strike.

practically admitted to representa-
tive of the Associated Press that il
every operator in the region were to
post notices similar to those that are
now being tackled up by some Of the
mine owners this action would in it.
self probably not end the strike. He
was asked If all the companies were
to post such notices what his next step
would be. 1t first he hesltated and
then replied:
Under the conditions laid down by
the Scranton miners convention there
could be no partial resumption of
work."
When it was suggested that his re-
ply did not answer the question, he
said: "Well, all will say is that If
all the companies post notices 1t would
clear up matters considerably. 1t
would remove some of the obstacles
that now present themselves"
This is the first public statement
that Mr.. Mitchell has made bearing
on settlement of the contest since
the operators at Scranton took their
decided stand that the reduction of
powder price must be considered in
figuring out the advance in wages.
Notices similar to those already posted
by individual operators in this region
have been issued by three more com
panies.

family. She must not be craven when
the whoop of the Indian warned of a
dreadful danger. She must stand by
her husband, gun in hand.
How many women of to-day could
undertake wifehood under such condi-
tons? Few indeed. Not because the
modern American woman lacks cour-
age, but because she lacks as rule the
physical health which is the indispensa-
BILE qualification for life such as was
lived by the women of the past.
That is why good woman may be
bad wife. Virtue and goodness are ex-
cellent things in women, but to guide a
house and bear children demands above
all sound physical health.
WOMEN coNvIcrs.
To a great number of women the
house they live in is almost on a par
with prison. 1t is prison-like in the
monotonous regularity of daily duties
prison-like in the absence of all pleasure
in what is done or JOY in the doing.
And the reason is to be found in
womanly ill-health. Few women realize
how intimately the general health is re-
lated to the health of the delicate
womanly organs. A woman may suffer
with heart otrouble," disorders of kid
neys, liver or stomach, or with nervous
prostration as result of diseased con-
dition of the womanly organism. Many
such women udoctor" for years for
various diseases and wonder why they
don't get better. They can't get better
until the womanly organism is entirely
cured of its diseases.
This is not theory. 1t is statement
of simple facts founded upon the testi-
mony of hundreds of thousands of
women who have been cured of woman
ly diseases by the use OF DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. They had been
just vdragging around" for years, with
throbbing heads and aching backs, nerv-
Gus, dyspeptic, miserable. The once
fresh colored cheeks had grown sallow,
the eyes were dull, the body had lost
its plumpness. They had in numerous
instances tried many doctors and medi-

taken nearly twelve bottles of the medi-
cine and still continue to take it. I

or walk any place. I can never praise
your medicine enough.
"The doctor here says tb,.. he never
would have believed that your medicine
could have done so much for any one il
he had not seen what it has done for
me: He also told me to keep on taking
it, for he could not help me. thank
you a thousand times for your kind
advice and for your medicine"
SAFE AND SURE.
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription Is
unrivaled as safe and sure medicine
for the cure of womanly diseases. It
establishes regularity, dries unhealthy
drains, heals Inflammation and ulcera-
ton and cures female weakness. It is
the best preparative for motherhood,
giving vigor to the body and buoyancy
to the mind. 1t so strengthens the
organs of maternity that it makes the
baby's advent practically painless. As
tonic for nursing mothers it has no
equal. 1t increases the nutritive secre-
tons and strengthens and nourishes
both child and mother.
Weak and sick women are invited
to consult DR.. Pierce, by letter, free.
All correspondence strictly private

teen Passengers Injured.
Indianapolis, Oct. 20. - Lake Erie
and Western switch engine No. 60, in
charge Of Engineer John A. Bepley and
Fireman Edward Fultz, struck Bright
wood car No. 2S4 at Thirteenth street
at 1925 D. IN. yesterday. There were
twenty-one passengers in the car at
the time, and Of this number fifteen
were more or less injured, two of them
perhaps fatally. The engine struck
the front end of the car, reducing it
to kindling wood and carrying it for
fully twenty feet, finally throwing it
against a freight car standing on
side track. One whole side was torn
out and the car was turned completely
around. The passengers, many of
whom were in the demolished end of
the car were pinioned down by the
broken and twisted timbers.
The doors could not be opened and
the less injured people, in their mad
rush to escape, trampled over those
unable to help themselves. To add to
the general confusion the steam from
the engine enveloped the wrecked car
and it was with great difficulty thatthe
WOIh VI TeSCuIuS lutlu was CdTTleu lOT-
ward. At least half the passengers
were women, and their screams and
the crash awoke people living within
two blocks Of the scene of the acct
dent.

jured: Arthur Stats, injured internal
ly, may die: Eaton Barnes, uncon-

CLOSE Up THE LINES.
CHAIRMAN WEAVER'S PLAN
Republican State Committee Preparing to
Organize Each Precinct In the State
to Get Out the Republican Vote.

Des Moines, Oct. 22.-Chairman
Weaver is busy with the final ar
rangements for the election. These
include preparations for getting out
the vote and he has begun thus early
in order that the plan which was used
In parts of the state last year may be
successfully carried out in every pre-
cinct. Each Republican township
chairman Is to be asked to furnish the
committee with the names of five Re
publican workers in each precinct who
may be depended upon to assist in get
ting out the vote on election day. The
committee will communicate directly
with these men and obtain their writ
ten pledge to attend to the duties as
signed them. They will be held re-
sponsible for the votes of their pre-
cinct and are expected to see that
every Republican vote in the precinct
is polled. They are also expected to
have copies of the poll lists Of their
respective precincts and are to check
those who have voted so as to keep ac-
curate track of the voting. This plan
worked well last year and 1t Is hoped
that. with more perfect arrangements,
it will result in getting practically all
the Republicans to vote.
Registration.
Every one should remember that, I'M
der the provisions of the law, In cities
where voters are required to register,
an entire new registry must be made
this year The dates for registration
are Oct %, 26 and 81 and Nov. 3.
Every county chairman, where regis
tration Is required, should see to it that
the registration is full and complete
and every Republican voter should re-
member that 1t is his duty to see that
his name is on the list before the close
of registration.
Marking the Ballots.
Perhaps 1t is well at this time to
quote the law in regard to the mark
ing of ballots, so that no one need
make a mistake. 1t is as follows:
Sec. 1119. Upon retiring to the vot-
ing booth, the voter shall prepare his

the depression was the greatest. Com

June 80, 1899, there is gain of 5.674
in number of employees and $3,1S0,-
