FUND IS ABOUT COMPLETE.
Trustees OF Mckinley Memorial Assoeka-
ton Report Cash Subscriptions of
Over Half q Million.

Washington. Oct. 25.-The tr tstees
OF the William Mckinley National
Memorial fund will hold a meeting
at Canton, o., to-day and hear the
report of the treasurer of the fund
as to the amount of subscription
raised for the Mckinley memorial.
The trustees set out to raise $780,
coo and the report will show that OF
this amount more than S550,OOO has
been subscribed and that the remain
der can be raised, so that practically
the work of raising the fund has
been completed. The trustees can
now purchase the site for the me-
mortal and prepare plans for its cree
ton. While a site has been selected
in the cemetery at Canton where
President Mckinley is buried, the
ground has not been purchased nor
have the plans or designs for the
monument to be erected thereon been
selected. Of the states contributing
to the fund New York leads with
$150,000, the larger portion having
been raised in New York city. Ohio
promised to raise 100000 and has
not only kept its promise, but has
gone above that figure and stands
next to New York on the subserip-
ton list. Pittsburg stands in the
front ranks of the cities, for citizens
subscribed $4,000. There is disap-
pointment in New England's contri-
button, for the entire six states in
that section, including the city of
Boston, did not subscribe more than
$4,000. Although the trustees have
nearly raised the amount required,
they do not intend to relax their eff
forts to raise the full amount, and
subscriptions will still be welcome.

So says Mrs. Josie Irwin, of
325 So. College St, Nashville,
Tenn, of Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable COMPOUND.

Never in the history of medicine has
the demand for one particular remedy
for female diseases equalled that at
tanned by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, and never
during the lifetime of this wonderful
medicine has the demand for it been
so great as it is to-day.
From the Atlantic to the Pacific,
and throughout the length and breadth
of this great continent come the glad
tidings of woman's sufferings relieved
by it, and thousands upon thousands
of letters are pouring in from grateful
women saying that it will and posi-
lively does cure the worst forms of
female complaints.
Mrs. Pinkham invites all wO-
men who are puzzled about
their health to write her at Lynn,
Mass, for advice. Such CORE
spondence is seen by women only,
and no charge is made.

NEWS OF THE RIVER.

There is more catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than in all other
diseases put together. and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it local dis
ease, and prescribed local remedies.
and by constantly failing TO cure
with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven ca
tarrh to be a constitutional disease,
and, therefore, requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure. manufactured by F. j. Cheney
& Co. Toledo. Ohio. is the only con-
stitutionaI cure on the market. 1t is
taken internally in doses from 10
drops TO teaspoonful. 1t acts di-
