Cincinnati Ohio, April Fair wealth
and townships elections The large vote
for April indicated more interest than
usual in these local contests. This was
due to the fact that a full State ticket

choose a successor to Senator Foraker.
In few localities legislative nominations
were made by popular vote. None showed
any opposition to Foraker among the Re-
publieans, and there was not enough ac-
tion to Indicate any preference for John
II. Mclean, Tom L. Johnson, or any one
else as the Democratic favorite for the
Senatorship. There was no election IN
Cincinnati. Special interest was taken
i'm the contest at Columbus, where the
Republicans for the past two years have
had all the city offices. Governor Nash
and former Congressman Lentz reside at
Columbus and both took great interest
in the contest there. Democratic admin
istrations were in control at Cleveland

RUSSIA DELIVERS A THREAT.
If China Does Not Sign Friendly Relations
Will be Broken Off
(By the Associated Press. J

(By the Associated Press.)
washington, April Information has
reached here to the effect that the Rus
sian. Government, being seriously per-
turbed by the course of China in not sign
ing the Manchurian agreement, largely
because of the protest made by the sew
eral powers, has conveyed a distinct and
unmistakable indication to China that if
this course is persisted in there may be
an interruption of diplomatic relations
between Russia and China, and termin-
alton of the present intercourse between
them. This is little short of an ultima
tum that China must sign or take the
consequence of termination OF her
friendly relations with Russia.
To what extent the United States will
take cognizance of Russia's disposition
to enforce the signing of the agreement,
has not yet been made apparent. Ii APP
pears to be the policy of the Chinese au-
thorities to consider this as subject
which concerns the powers quite as much
as it does China The matter has be-
come further complicated by reports
reaching Washington that the Chinese
authorities themselves are divided on the
course to be pursued, some of the most
influential including Ii Hung Chang, urg-
ing that acquiescence be given to the
Russian proposals, while others insist on
rejecting the agreement.
The attitude of Lii Hung Chang is ac-
counted for by his well known friendli-
ness for Russian interests. In this case,
however, there appears to be arrayed
against him the strong influence of the
Southern viceroys, Chan Chi Tung, and
Liza Kun vi who oppose the signing of
the treaty. The reports reaching here
this morning showed that the agreement
had not yet been signed.

CHICAGO WILL VOTE TODAY.
Democrats Oppose Granting Long Franchises
to Street Railway Companies
(By the Associated Press.

tBy the Associated HfeSS.D
Chicago, April 1.--This city will hold
tomorrow one Of the most important cleo
tions in its history. The chief issue is
the granting of franchises to the street
railway companies whose rights during
the next two or three, or more decades
are to be decided during the incoming
mayors term of office. Mayor Harrison
has made record against the granting
of long franchises, and he ana his follow
ers assert that Judge Elbridge Hancey,
the Republican nominee is favorable to
extensive grants to the street car COM
panies The Republicans deny this.
Ex-Governor Altgeld is opposed to Har-
rison, but his opposition is expected to
carry less weight than TWO years ago,
when he was an Independent Democratic
candidate, opposed to Harrison who was
elected owed him and 2. r. Carter, the
Republican nominee.
The Democrats claim the election by
plurality of $4,000 to $4,000. The Repub-
Leans claim plurality of 5000 as abso-

Doctors Mystified.

woman is sick some disease peculiar to her sex is
fast developing in her system She goes to her family
physician and tells him story, but not the whole story
She holds something back loses her head, becomes
agitated 0rgets what she wants to say and finally
ceals what she ought to have told and thus completely
mystfes the doctor
Is it any wonder, therefore that the doctor fails to
the disease? STILL cannot blame the woman for
it very embarrassing to detail the symptoms of
her suffering even to her family physician. 1t for
this that years ago Mrs Lydia E. Pnkham Lynn
Mass determined to step and help SEX Having had
considerable experience in treating female ills with her
Vegetable Compound she encouraged the women of Amer
lea to write to her for advice in regard to their complaints
and being woman, it easy for her ailng sisters to
pour into her ears every detail Of their suffering
In this way she able to do for them what the ply
sicians unable to do simply because she had the
proper information to work upon and from the little group
Of women who sought her advice years ago. great army
of her felowbeings to day constantly applying for
advice and relief and the fact that more than one hundred
thousand of them have been successfully treated by Mrs
Pnkham during the last year indicative the grand
results which produced by her unequaed experience
and training.
No physician in the world has had such training or
has such amount of information at hand to assist the
treatment of all kinds of female Ills from the simplest
local irritation to the complicated diseases of the
womb.
This, therefore, is the reason why Mrs Pinkham, in
her laboratory at Lynn Mass able do more for the
ailng of America than the family physician Any
woman therefore, is responsible for her own suffering
who will not take the trouble to write to Mrs Pinkha
for advice
The testimonials which are constantly publishing
from grateful establish beyond doubt the mower
of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to
conquer female diseases
