WAS TORTURED
An Indianapolis WOman's Sworn State
ment of the Way in Which She
Was Saved From Death.
From the Indianapolis News.

Mrs. Mary X. Burns, of sos Hia-
watha street, Indianapolis, Ind, is liv-
ing evidence of the wonderful powers
of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People, the remedy that cures where
all others fail. For years she en-
dured all the tortures of indigestion,
nervousness and female weakness, a
complication of troubles that five ply.
sicians confessed their inability to
cure. Her story is well worth the at.
tention OF every woman. She says:
my illness commenced after my
first child was born. l was so weak
and nervous that it seemed l would
never get strong. For twelve years
l doctored for female trouble, COM
plicated with nervousness and indiges-
ton. My stomach was so weak that
for days at a time l could eat nothing
but bread and milk. | was also troub
led with palpitation of the heart and
was often so miserable that l could not
lie down. Five doctors prescribed for
me, and | took many kinds of medi-
cine without being benefited. One
day I saw DR.. Williams Pink Pills
advertised in the papers and de-
cided to give them a trial. | did so
and had not finished taking the first
box when | knew that | was getting
better.
You can imagine the relief I felt
when | found that after years of suf-
fering | was being cured. l continued
taking the pills, and the female trouble
entirely disappeared. DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People did more
for me than it was claimed they would
do. Since | first took the pills have
not needed doctor nor any other
medicine; they have restored my
health, strength and happiness.

His Prophecy Game True.

Edward Wigglesworth, Hollis pro-
fessor of divinity at Cambridge" in a
little pamphlet published in the porten-
tous year of 1775, must have had cor
rect idea of the prosperity of this coun-
try during the century just closing, as
he predicted that the population of the
British American colonies" in 1900
would be S0,OOO,0O0.
Included in this estimate was Nova
Scotia, now the Dominion of Canada,
which with its last recorded census re-
suit of 100000 added to the 100000 900
of the United States fulflls almost to
the letter the accuracy of the Wiggles-
worth prophecy. And this somewhat
remarkable forecast was not based up
on any species of guess work, but upon
we'll defined and clearly constructed
mathematical theory, which, reduced
TO plain words, can be best described in
the language of its author:
The British-Americans have doubled
their numbers in every period of
twenty-five years from their first plan
tatiOn."
Taking this statistical fact as a basis
for his calculations the Harvard divin-
ity professor constructed a system of
reckoning the increase Of a country's
population which history has shown to
be as correct as his method was simple.
Assuming that the 1775 population
was 2.5OOO00 Mr.. Wigglesworth esti-
mated 100000 for 1900, 100000 for
1925, 2O,OOO,OOO for 1850, 100000 for
1875 and sO,OOO,OOO for 1900, and the
record of the United States census since
it's initial taking in 1890 shows sub
stantially these figures, as follows:
Census of 1900, 5,3OS, 900; 1925 1S2O),
1888, 900; 1850, 23.191.O 900; 1875 (1S7O).

Laurin, for in an open letter. made pub
lie yesterday, the governor announced
that Tillman's resignation would be i'm
mediately accepted. The letter reads:
Sir: Your letter of June 1 has been
received. have carefully noted it's con-
tents, and the most charitable view
which I can take of it is that it was writ
ten in the heat of passion and without
due consideration.
Il note that you say that have trans
cended my authority and that the gov
eronor cannot compel member of the
United States to hold his commission and
exercise the functions of that office if he
chooses to surrender it, and that you
decline for the present to withdraw your
resignation
Had you read carefully my letter ad-
dressed to you and to Senator McLaurin
you must have seen that did not ex-
press my desire to compel a member OF
TIE United States senate to hold his
commission and exercise the functions OF
that office If he choose to surrender 1t.
My sole purpose in returning the resig-
nations was to ask you gentlemen to con-
slider calmly and thoughtfully the con-
sequences to the people of what judged
to be hasty act and what you admit
to have been hasty act and must con-
fess that am somewhat surprised at the
tone Ct your answer to my request.

Kansas City, June 6.-When Lulu
Prince-Kennedy entered court this
morning it was to hear the outline of
her case in her trial for numbering her
husband by attorney Nearing for the de-
fense. The prisoner had enjoyed a good
sleep last night and appeared bright and
cheerful. She was perhaps more at ease
than any of the large number of specta-
tors.
Attorney Nearing after tracing tho
attentions paid by Kennedy, the mur-
dered man to the defendant declared
that they had become engaged to be
married and the date of the wedding set.
Kennedy, he asserted, postponed the
wedding and finally, under guise of en-
gagement seduced her. Then when her
condition became delicate he paid her
expenses to leave the city. On this
visit Mr.. Nearing said she met Case
Patten, the base ball player whose name
later became mentioned with that OF
the prisoner.

we pledge to renew our efforts in this
humanitarian endeavor, and at all
times to work to the full extent of our
ability to bring about a condition which
shall insure to every toiler the full
product of his labor and an equal voice

We believe the time has come for
all who desire the emancipation of the

"This leaves me one Of three alterna-
tives. To appeal to the democratic ex-
ecutive committee to take the matter
up and determine what the best inter-
ests Of the party require to be done; ap-
peal to the senate itself to determine
whether a resignation from that body to
take effect at some future time is bind
ing, or withdraw my own resignation.
There are no precedents on this SUBJ
ject, because in the 125 years Of our ma
tional life, with more than 200 resigna-

has hitherto be n willing to occupy the
despicable attitude now assumed by
Senator McLaurin and forced on me.
I am certain Of one thing: That the
executive Of a state has no authority to
decline a resignation that has been ten-
dered, and am equally certain that had
your excellency confined your action
within legal bounds your appointees
would be seated in the senate when the
body meets in December and hold their
seats until the legislature should act in
January.

your action to engage in what the out
