Miss Menard cured after doc tors failed to help her.
 "Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege- table Compound cured me after doctors had failed, and I want other girls to know about it. Dur ing menstrlation I suffered most intense pain low in the abdomen and in my limbs. At other times I had a heavy, depressed feeling which made my work seem twice as hard, and I grew pale and thin. The medicine the doctor gave me did not do me one bit of good, and I was thoroughly discouraged. The doctor wanted me to stop work, but, of course, I could not do that. I finally began to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and felt better after taking the first bottle, and after taking six bottles I was entirely cured, and am now in perfect health, and 1 am so grate- fuI for it."- Mss GEORGE MENARD, 537 K. 152nd St., New York City. = &6ooo foyfeit if original of GboOe letter P'0UiHS gsRainsHess cannot be produced.

A wHOLESALE INQUEST.

Monastir. Aug. 25.-The once beauti- full city Of Krushevo is a heap of ruins. The women and children are homeless, exposed to the weather and famine The town is rendered uninha bitable by the odor of corpses which are being gnawed by dogs and pigs. the Turkish authorities refusing to allow them to be removed. under the pretext that in quests will be held.
 Krushevo contained 1000 houses and 10000 inhabitants, mostly Vlachs.
 The town was captured by the Kom itajis on August 2nd and a provisional government was established. The mo- tables were compelled to contribute s10.e00 to the revolutionary fund.
 On Aug. 18th the Turks concentrated seven battaiions and one battery on Krushevo. They made an offer to. the Komitajis to allow the women and children to leave the town. This pro- posal was declined and a lombard ment began. The komitaiis eventual ly abandoned the town and escaped to the neighboring forest where pursuit was impossible.
 The Turks entered the town, pillaged and burned it.
 The attack of kruSheVo lasted three days during which time the women and children remained without food and shelter and at the mercy of th1 soldiers and the Bashi Bazouks.

Needed for betterment of
 the Mexican Central
PLAN FOR ASSUMING 1T
Depositing Income Bonds for Conver- sion Into Debentures-It Is Neces. sary That It Have Money for Im- provements and Extension.

New York, Aug. 25.-It was said to- day by persons interested in the MeXi- can Central Railroad company's plan for the conversion of it's income bonds into debentures that large amounts of the bonds have recently been deposited under the plan and that it is believed that some of these come from quarters where the plan had previously met ad
 verse criticism. This is attributed to the statement made by H. Clay Pierce, chairman of the road, in which he pointed out that the existence of the income bonds was an impeachment to the progress of the road and that the creditors had made the best offer for their eXtinguishment which the cir
 cumStanceS justified.
 Improvement and extension have be-
 come a vital necessity to the Mexican Central no less than they did some years ago to all of the principal roads in this country. The only way in which the road can hope to continue meeting it's fixed charges, pay for extensions and bettermentS and at the same time give value to the stock is to complete it's natural system, placing it's termin- alS to advantage and developing rich territory it has so far not touched. It is, a common experience in American railrcading that road must undertake new obligations while it is still scarce ly able to meet the old, or be content to see other systems hedge it about and reduce it to the status of a branch line. The valuation which the directors have placed upon the income bonds, while it embodies a radical scaling down of their par value, is based upon the market value of the prior lien obli- gations of the company. The consoli dated mortgage bonds due in 1911, of which there are $66 00O, ,0O0 outstanding, besides several smaller issues of other
 bonds payable before that time. create what may be called a crisis in the com . panys affairs, on the successful pass age of which depends the value of the income bends. In the remote possibility that the finances of the road were not successfully readjUsted they would not be worth anything. In short, the road is compelled, both by the necessity of refunding the bonded debt and the needs of the system in the way of new construction, to employ every means of strengthening it's credit. Under these circumstances it is estimated that ST., 000, ,000 is as much as should be paid out for the retirement of S32, OO0 income bonds.
 It is pointed out by bankers that it would be futile to expect the stock
 .-olders to provide more money with a large issue of income bonds of their stock. The issuance of bonds which should take precedence of the income bonds would scarcely meet the approv al Of the income bondholders. To issue bonds which should come between the incomes and the stock would be even more impossible, so the directors are convinced that the incomes must be entirely eliminated from the problem.

'STffNTH FLOOD
A Part of Kansas Is Again
 Submerged.
A Cloudburst in the N0rth-Eastern Part of the State Is Crowding the Rivers Out of Their Banks.

Marysville, Kans., Aug. 25.-A cloud burst struck in this vicinity early to- day, causing the Blue River to rise sixteen feet within a few hours, and sending a great flood of water south down the bottoms along that stream. Many inhabitants in the lowlandS were driven from their homes and heavy damage to property was done. As far as known but one death has been re- ported. Frederick Ivers, of Bailey vile, was drowned near that town, going down with a bridge over a swollen stream.
 Marysville was deluged and the bot toms were filled with water from three to five feet deep. Fifty houses were almost entirely submerged their in mates taking refuge in trees and on house tops. Seventy-five persons had been rescued in boats at daylight, and by noon twenty others were taken to places of safety. The storm washed out the tracks on the Blue Valley branch of the Union Pacific for several miles and wiped out telegraph and telo- phone wires, cutting the town off from outside communication till late today. One of the rescuing parties was headed by Congressman Vim. A. Calderhead!
 Tonight the river is falling although the country for miles around will be under water for several days. South of here, at the town Of Blue Rapids, the Blue river rose to within a few inches of the highest point in the June rise, causing much damage to farm property.
 A wall of water struck Vleits, town of 1000 on the Vermillion river, east of here in the same county, driving the residents of the lowlards from their homes. Previously the Vermillion had risen four feet in an hour and today part of Nleits is five feet under water. All the stores and perhaps 25 residents are inundated and the damage at the place is estimated at $50,000.
 The river is three miles wide. The same storm struck Seneca, in the next county seat where four and three quarters inches Of water fell. It was the heaviest downpour since 1893 and t left the Nemaha river the highest for years. Many fields of corn were inun- dated. the Grand Island railroad bridge at Beattie went out and several miles of track and a half dozen culverts on the road were wrecked.
