DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-I feel it my duty to write
and tell you of the benefit have received from your
wonderful remedies. Before taking Lydia e. Pink

or four months. was so tired and weak could not
sleep nights, sharp pains would dart through my
heart that would almost cause me to fall.
my mother coaxed me to try Lydia E. Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound. had no faith in it, but to
please her 1 did so. The first bottle helped me SO
much that continued it's use. am now we'll and

THE HELLO GIRL
 DISPENSED WITH
 :
New Telephone System That Enables SubScribeE to
 Make Connections

A very interesting example of the au- tomatic telephone station is to be found in the town of New Bedford, Conn, where a plant started in a small way few years ago has been found to be such a great success that 1t has been expand ing as fast at 1t was found convenient to secure the necessary equipment. says the Patent Record. This is now a system of 1000 subscribers, and the service has been found so satisfactory that there is now large waiting list of several hundred persons who are desirous of having the instruments installed in their homes and places of business. The central station plant of this company is cared for by one man, and his time is consumed in the care of the instruments alone, having nothing whatever to do with the making of the cnnections. Because of the economic: arising from the diminutive size of the pay roll. this company is enabled to off, fer an unlimited service at a very low rate.
 Another advantage of the system Is that it is impossible for any outsider to cut in and overhear a conversation. All communication is, therefore, as confiden- tial as if the conversers were closeted in the same room. In case subscriber at- tempts to call up another who is at that time busy he is notified of this fact by the ringing of his own buzzer and his attempts to make a connection can not in any way interfere with those who are talking.
 Calling is effected in the following man. ter. On each phone set there is dial containing figures from to 9. This dial may. be revolved freely by hand in a cleckwise direction. A number Is called by successively bringing the numerals of which it Is composed into the lowest po- stion, beginning with the left-hand nu- neral. Finger holes are placed opposite each figure for the easy manipulation of the dial. When the figure Is brought to the lowest position and the dial released, it flies back to it's original position. and so on. For instance, in getting 4231 the 4 Is first brought to the lowest position, ,s then the dial is released; then ?, 3, and l successively. pressure of the button on the telephone set closes local pri- mary battery circuit, and rings on the bells of both the caller and the number called. Before making a call the receiver is removed from its hook. It is said that five seconds is ample to make connec- tion under and all circumstances.
 The rates prevailing at New Bedford are s24 per year for residence phones and $36 for business instruments, while undec the old system in the same city the charges ranged frooI $4S to $96 for the same ser vice. The scheme is very popular, and company has been formed to introduce it in other cities of New England A proposition to install such plant at Fall River is well under way.

DEMAND GROWING
 FOR GAS ENGINES
Display at the Paris Exposition Gives Impetus to Gas En-
 zine Building

The prediction of prominent German engineer, made only a few years ago, that the gas engine builders would not be able volumes of furnace gas then thrown to waste, has fallen so far short of the fact that 1t has been demonstrated that mo- tors of this type are to be reckoned with as standard article of manufacture, says an exchange. As a matter of fact, a number of large steam engine building works have already undertaken the con struction of gas engines, and others are preparing to add a line of such motors to their product.
 One of the important results of the dis play of gas engines at the Paris Exposi- tion is the realization on the part of en- zine builders that there is nothing myste- rious or difficult about the construction of such motors. As matter of fact, there is less complication and difficulty than with the more highly organized forms of steam engine, and as the fluid with which they are operated Is permanent, as opposed to the condensble steam, the thermal economy is much less readily af- fected by variations in design than with the steam engine.
 In view of the fact that the funda- mental principles of gas engine construc- ton are open to the world, and also talk ing into consideration the growing practi- cal interest in such motors, a very rapid development in this branch Of industry may be predicted
 It Is of especial interest to note that the development of internal combustion mo- tors at the present time Is mainly directed toward two extremes; the large motors, of 200 or 800 horsepower, and upward, and the very small motors, of 2 to 10 horse power, for motor vehicles. With the ex- ception of minor details of construction, due to the peculiar conditions of opera ton, the construction of both classes is identical and furthermore. the thermal economy of the small motors is nearly as high as that of the larger ones, the great obstacle to economy of small steam en- zines, internal condensation, being ab- sent in motors operating with permanent gases.

THE GREAT STRIKE
Its Effect Upon Arizona Labor Ques-
 tion in Arizona.

Tucson, Ariz.. Aug. 9.-(Special Correspondence of The Republican, The great steel strike in the east is gradually concentrating the focus Of public attention upon this one all ab- sorbing topic. It is becoming manifest that we are approaching q great crisis in our national affairs. Both parties are confident and both seem to be wrought up 10 a pitch of fanatical frenzy. How 1t win end Is a mystery. The contest between capital and labor in this coun- try has been gradually incubating for many years. It's importance has been ignored through the cowardice of politi- clans and the apathy of statesmanship. until we are at last face to face with a fearful status. which not only de- mands recognition but excites the gravest apprehension
 There seems to be strange fatality connected with the settlement of all vtxed questions in our country Not withstanding the terrible ordeals through which the nation has passed during the first century of it's exist ence, and the dreadful sacrifices of blood and treasure which have bee expended in fighting great wrongs. the lessons taught by these bitter exper- fences do not seam to produce the slightest effect. Wrongs exist on both sides. Rights are violated with inn punity and the sacred guarantees of constitutional authority are completely neutralized by the despotic demands on the one side and spirit of defiance on the other
 The distinguished statesmen of our country who should long ago have pro- vided a remedy for all these evils through just legislation, seem to look on with apparent indifference. Two colossal elements of destruction are gradually approaching each other with c certainty of a collision which when it occurs will shake the land from center

Here is an air line of only 62 miles from Tucson to Calabasas. It runs along a ridge the entire distance through the Santa Cruz valley. There is scarcely any grade and the cost of building would be inconsiderable. This route would avoid all the washouts and would reduce the distance from Tucson to Nrgales 4miles IL would open up for settlement five hundred thousand acres of the finest land In Pinls county, and with irrigation established through the valley, here are homes for farm rs equal in extent. and superior in loca- ton and climate, to the Salt river val ley. It is to be hoped that this matter will command the attention of the S. r. company and thus pave the way for a grand developm mt of the agricultural resources of Pima county. This road can be built for the amount already eX- pended in the impossible task nf fight ing the floods in the Sonoita canyon.

round d-house. was almost demolished. The turbulent Mexican first wrecked his fury on the window panes, which were shattered in quick succession, and he then directed his attention to the furniture. Chairs, tables and all the other articles which had been accumu- lated in the course of years were to- tally wrecked, and the building itself was saved only by the strength of the walls. Senora Moron was beaten for offering expostulations for the ruthless destruction of propcr.y, and was forced to take refuge among the neigh bors when she escaped her inferior half. The chid, which had narrowly missed death at the bottom of a well. followed the mother, screaming in fear, and the balance of the family decamped promptly.
 Moron had destroyed every avail able article of furniture and was after the scalps of his wife and children when Policeman Russell placed him under arrest. He had great difficulty in capturing his man. who refused fatly to accompany him and threat ened to include Russell in the list of victims he had planned Handcufrs were twisted and bent by the force of his resistance. but nippers of the chained variety restored peace in the household of Moron. The rampage ended with a shout of pain as Russell led the bel'igerent Mexican toward the bastile, where h. will probably Ian guish for many days in deep reflection. Neighbors say that Moron began drinking several weeks ago and took the warpath in an ugly mood four days ago. Daily for three days he beat his wife, on the last day sprea ling his war to the children. the furniture and the house,

BRUTAL THIEVES.
Attack . Maine Farmer In His Home
j. and Beat Him to

Portland, Me-, Jan. 14.-Thomas G..
Moshier,s a farmer, aged Is, was mur-
dered, and his mother, Mrs. Rufus
Moshier, aged 72, was brutally as
saulted at their home in Gorham Sat-
urday evening by two men, who forced
an entrance into the Moshier resi-
dence with the evident intention of
robbery After completing their
ghastly work the men ransacked the
house, taking what valuables they
could find. One of the men was q
negro. About noon Sunday William
Hands, negro, was arrested at Scar
boro. In his possession were found a
blood-stained razor marked with
Moshier's name, $40 in money, con-
sisting chiefly of bills which were also
stained with blood, and a watch. His
hands and clothing were soiled and
bloody. The man admits having been
at the Moshier farmhouse, and says
he left his companion in Portland.
The story of the crime, as told by Mrs.
Moshier is as follows:
She and her son had eatan their
supper when knock was heard at the
door. No attention was paid to it, as
Mrs. Moshier thought the caller might
be man who formerly worked on the
farm, and who, it is said; left under
somewhat unpleasant circumstances.
Soon after the kitchen windows were
forced in, and two men, one a negro,
jumped into the room. Moshier
grappled with the white man, and the
negro knocked down the woman,
striking her terrible blow on the
head with stick. She begged for
her life, and after striking her again
| the negro went to the assistance of
his comrade. Together they dragged
Moshier into the front room. Mrs.
Moshier fled to room off the kitchen
| and hid in closet. The noises soon
ceased, and the men went to the cell
lar for food. Mrs. Moshier then fed
to the second floor, where she was fol-
lowed by the negro, who demanded
her money. She replied that she had
no money, but tod where she kept
her few valuables.
Shortly afterwards the negro re-
| joined his companion. and Mrs.
| Moshier heard them opening drawers
and overturning furniture. After the
men left the house she wrapped her.
self in a blanket and made her way
to the house of Freeman Richardson,
who lives a quarter of mile distant.
The police of this city were notified
and. going to the farm. the body of
Moshier was found in the parlor COW
! cred with blood, and with the head
beaten almost to jelly. In the house
were found two heavy fence stakes,
one of which was matted with blood
and hair, and had apparently been
used to kill Moshier. Everything Of
value was missing. Mrs. Moshier's in
| juries, while serious. are not fatal.
