THE CHANGE OF LIFE

Is the most important period in a wo- mans existence. Owing to modern methods of living, not one woman in a thousand approaches this perfectly natural change without experiencing a train of very annoying and some times painful symptoms.
 Those dreadful hot flashes, sending the blood surging to the heart until it seems ready to burst, and the faint feeling that follows, sometimes with chills, as if the heart were going to stop for good, are symptoms of dan gerous, nervous trouble. Those hot flashes are just so many calls from nature for help. The nerves are cry

jim LANE Is DEAD:
PASSING OF CHARACTER.

James Lane, the colored man, well
known about town for the past quar-
ter of century, died Saturday at the
county infrmary, where he was sent
some weeks ago. Death was caused by
the breaking down of the system due
to long continued irregularity in hab-
its and physical neglect.
Decea sed was a remarkable charac-
t-r in many ways. Born in 1912
among the Indians in Indian territory,
he WAS brought up without an educa
ton and never learned TO read or
write. Ia spite of this he was bril-
liant in conversation and displayed a
remarkable memory. He spoke fiu-
entity the language of the Creek
Indian tribe.
He came to this city in 1876 ana
lived for the most part in and about
the saloons, doing odd jobs for his
keep. He wa never married The
remains were buried at Coal Valley.

INCREASED ATTENDANCE

The city schools opened today after
the summer vacation. The day was
devoted for the most part to assign
ing lessons and organizing classes,
the real work beginning tomorrow.
Supt Hayden, who spent the most
of the day in tour otthe different
schools, reports healthy increase in
the attendance over last year aod a
good prospect for sn excellent terms
work. With only two exceptions the
teachers were able TO ill the places
to which they had been assigned, and
those absent will be on hand shortly.
Owing to the periecting of general
arrangements preparatory 10 the
opening of the term, especially in the
high school, the work will be taken
up with more facility this year than
formerly.

to refer to the calamity " mich has
befallen the nation, speaking IN sub
stance as follows:
The country is now faced with the
third attempt upon the life OF Presi-
dent which has occurred IN little
over a quarter of a century. As in
former cases the perpetrator OF the
deed is in the hands of the law and
should receive its full penalty. His
life is worth so little that its forfeit
ure would not begin to compensate
for his crime and the attention of the
nation should be directed rather to
the principle for which he stands than
to the individual who was made tool
in accomplishing nefarious purpose.
The contamination therefrom is gore
deadly than that of the worst Of con-
tagious diseases and should be pre-
vented by means az rigid as is en-
ployed in a quarantine.
''Onr Justly famed liberty both of
speech and of action must not be al
lowed to degenerate into license. The
teachings that governments are use
less and their heads should be de
stroyed should be supplanted with a
more wholesome doctrine and all
good citizens are in measure re-
sponsible for It's accomplishment.
Che christian church being the con-
servator of the peace and morality OF
the country. the duty of those who
are mum bored among it's supporters is
plain"
