SUPPOSED DISEASES OF WOMEN.

Long stories could be told regarding
the outcome of mistakes in diagnosis
made by physicians in the matter of dis
eases of women. Stomach and bowel
troubles of long standing, chronic con-
stipation, resulting finally in inflammation
of the intestines, have been the causes
of headaches, blues bearing down
pains and irregularities more often than
have arrangement of the female sys-
tenn. The effect is lack of energy; pain
resembling that caused by uterine pro-
affairs; headache, nausea upon rising
in the morning All symptoms easily to
be mistaken for those caused by female
diseases. DR. Caldwel1's Syrup Pepsin

THE GAGE MILL.
Mr.. Close Makes Interesting
Statements Of Its Results.

Fred j. Close is in the city buying
more watts for the Gage Trego gold mill
He has gold and silver ingots in his
pocket representing one days run of his
mill, and Trego stock is taking a boost
today.
The samples Mr. Close has In his
pocket are a small ingot of gold, 20
carets fine, worth about 800, and two
silver ingots of an aggregate value of
$40.
These are the product of last Sat
urday's rum" stated Mr.. Close. "They
represent $120, and the days run was
twelve tons of shale. We are getting
out of our shale $40 to the ton, all told,
in gold and silver. The mill is running
day and night. 1t started up the first
of last week and has been going ever
Since.'
Colonel Close is convinced that his
fortune is made, and some of the people
who hear his argument are acquiring
faith also He states that the cost OF
working up the shale by the Gage pro-
cess is about 81 a ton
IF the shale bore only 81 ton in
value it would be profitable" he says,
and to discount the chances of rniscal-
culation or fraud continues: I'VE have
nothing to sell. own about 1900 acres
of the shale land and have an option on
some more. I am not selling, am buy

today, refused an offer of SIS, 900 for
permission to use the Gage process in a
5O0-ton mill. Topeka parties made the
offer.
MY son and I own three-fourths of
the Gage MILL now in operation, and the
majority of interest in the control of
the Gage process. Mr.. Gage has moth
ing to sell He gets nothing unless he
brings gold out of the shale Could he
afford to salt it on such terms.
ITO use the Gage process in mills that
any other parties may wish to put up,
we will give permission on royalty
'sI am not chemist, but know that
there is gold in the shale as well as
know / see, feel, / hear. have known
it for four or five years
"'It has been demonstrated that the
mineral cannot be gotten out of the
shale by burning. 1t is now demonstra-
ted that it can be reduced by chemical
process
Dr. F. E. Fahrig, the Philadelphia ex-
pert who has been out investigating
for the Lantry syndicate, said before
going there that reduction could not be
made by burning. He said it would
nave to be accomplished by chemical or
electric process. DR.. F'ahrig is here to-
day and he says that his first impress
sions have been verified and exceeded.

Mrs. L. A. Croff. who lives with her
sister. Mrs. Catherine Lewis. at No. 927
Quincy street, was severely hurt at Cros-
by Bros department store this morning.
Mrs Cron was in the store to purchase a
pair of shoes and was sitting on the
settee in the shoe department Almost
above her, hanging on the fixtures for a
gas light was a large frame encasing a
plaster of paris cast, advertising a brand
of shoes. The carpet department of the
store is on the front directly above and
a roll of carpet was dropped on the
floor directly above the gas fix
ture. The force of the jar was
sufficient to cause the cast to fall from
the frame. Tt struck NMs. Croft a blow on
the head and shoulder and severely
bruised her left wrist which was resting
on the back of the seat DR.. c. A Nc
