EYES SpEAk

Volumes, at times, of wonlan's happi-
ness or misery. The dull, sunken eye,
with its dark circles almost surely speaks
of womanly ill-health, and its attendant
suffering. With the dull eye goes usu-
ally the sallow, sunken cheek, the drawn
mouth, the shrunken form-the whole
glory of woman's beauty nlarred by the
effects of disease.
Dr. Pierces Favorite Prescription cures
the diseases which undermine the health
and mar the beauty of women. 1t estab-
fishes regularity, dries weakening drains,
heals inflammation and liberation, and
cures female weakness.
Sick women are invited to consult DR..
Pierce by letter free, and so obtain the
advice of a specialist upon their disease.

town is flooded and many buildings have
been undermined and washouts are re-
ported at many points on the railroad

been terrific. All the creeks are roaring
torrents and much damage has been
wrought.

of Great Northern stock was never trans
ferred to the Northern Securities Com
pany. VIII you explain this?''

was completed, but negotiations for about
300 900 were not completed"

ceived dividends on the Great Northern
stock held by it,

lion dollars worth of Northern Securities

This concluded the examination of Col
onel Clough. Mr.. Kelleg, of counsel for
the Northern Securities Company, asked
for an adjournment until Saturday. At
that session he said he wanted to examine
Mr.. Perkins, of the firm of ]. Pierpont
