single drop of alcohol or of any narcotic.
1t is purely vegetable. An alcoholic
compound for women is something no
woman should take. Woman1y weak
ness will always bring on nervous irrita-
bility and a nervous condition, for which
alcohol is the worst thing In the world.
What the woman needs is a vegetable
tonic, like DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription, which will build up her deli
cate system and bring about a healthy
tone. 1t cures the drains and weak
nesses of women, and the manufacturers
offer to pay $500 reward for any case of
Leucorrhea, Female Weakness, Prolap
sus, or Falling of Womb, which they
cannot cure. All they ask is fair and
reasonable trial.
Mrs Albert Chrest, of Banbury, Onta-
rio, writes: at is over year ago since
/ wrote to you describing my symptoms
and feelings as we'll as l could, and asked
YOU if YOU could cure me. You replied,
saving that I had a bad form of kidney
disease. AS ! could not afford to take
your special treatment, I made up my
mind to try DR.. Pierces medicines. l
took two bottles of the Favorite Pre-
scription and two bottles of Golden
Medical Discovery Am now almost en-
tirely well; can do all my own work, and
without any pain. Had suffered with
kidney disease for about seven years, and
doctored with three different doctors,
and took lot of patent medicine, but
they did me no good. Since I have
taken your medicine l can safely say
that I am well, and work is not trouble
TO ME as it used to be. l always speak
highly of your medicines and recon-
mend them, because I know they de-
serve a good Lame. / wish you every
success"
Miss Carrie Sprecher, of Mount Nor
ris, H., writes DR.. K. Y. Pierce, as fol-
lows: " ! was back in my old home when
Your letter came. I will try and explain
regarding the good l received from your
medicines. For over one year l suffered
from what my physician pronounced
womb trouble. Had doCtored with doc
tors i'll the East and also in the West but
found only temporary relief. The next
tine Of my sickness I found myself no
better, and in that way it kept going on
from time to time until 7 became dis
couraged. I finally resolved to write
you for advice. purchased two bottles
of DR.. Pierce's FavOrite Prescription,
two vials of his Pleasant Pellets and
by using only that small quantity have
found wonderful relief. l say to ali who
are suffering from troubles similar to
mine that it is unnecessary to be sick
when one can use Dr. Pierce'S remedies"

AT TRIAL OF DEWEY
Two Points Are Claimed by
the Defense.
IN CAPRON'S EVIDENCE
Makes First Shot by Berrys
Earlier Than Stated.

Norton. Kan, Feb. Ti.-When the trial
of Chauncey Dewey, Clyde Wilson and
William Mcbride was resumed today, Mr..
Capron was again called to the witness
stand. 1t was he who testified last Sat
urday that he had driven Alpheus from
Daniel Berry's home to Alpheus' house
just before the shooting.
AS you drove by the tank on the road
did you see Chauncey Dewey, Daniel P.
Berry. William ]. Mcbride, Clyde VIII
son of Winship?"
No"
And you are acquainted with them?"
Yes, sir
After you left Alpheus how far had
you gone up the road before you heard
the shots?
Almost fifteen rods
How many shots did you hear?'
About six.
Then heard another voiley?"
Yes, 1 heard four, five, six or half
a dozen shots that time
The Importance of Mr.. CaprOn'S exam
nation was that he said he saw Beach
run from the barn to the house, but
he did not see Beach shoot. This would
place the first shot fired by the Berry S
prior to the time placed by Beach Berry
Another point which the defense says it
made was that at a distance of twenty
rods driving slowly, ne did not see Dewey
Mcbride and Daniel p. Berry, while
from a distance of about 20 rods his
horse gazing as fast as it could be, he
recognized Beach Berry running from the
barn to the house.

DICK FOR SENATOR.
Hanna Told Herrick and Dick to Take
Up His Work.

Columbus, Ohio, Feb. IA leader high
in the Republican party today told an
interesting story which makes it reason
able to believe that Dick will be chosen
as senator. The story as told conforms
TO facts. The gentleman said that a
week before the last Republican state
convention was held in Columbuh con-
ference occurred at a residence in Akron
between Hanna. Herrick and Dick. Sen
ator Hanna at the time had misgivings
as to the time he had to live and said
to Herrick and Dick that he considered
them as his boys and expected them to
take up his work, which they both knew.
With respect to Herrick, it is said that
Hanna was following out McKinley's
wishes in taking care of the present gov
ernor. There was a demand for recOg-
milton for Warren B. Hardin for the sec
ond place There was also d distinct I'M
dersta nding that Herrick should not vol
unfairly relinqush the governship, as
that would throw the Office into the hands
of the Foraker element of the party by
making Hardin governor. There were
certain agreements to be carried out and
a change in the governor $ office would
violate this promise Hanna was anX-
ious TO carry Cuyahoga county and by
making the concession 10 his opponents
in Hardins nomination he believed that
he would be able to do SO. For this rea-
son it is believed that Governor Herrick
cannot entertain for an instant the idea
of going to the senate, and the Hanna
followers. including Herrick himself. must
support Dick for the senatorship. While
many names are being mentioned, all
are more or less speculation and those
wno give the situation serious consider
alton believe that Dick will be the man.

The unsettled condition of affairs in
Santo Domingo, bordering in many places

Field Labor for Women.
AMERICAN WOMEN BETTER OFF THAN
THE WOMEN OF EUROPE.

Statistics prove that there are larger
numbers of women compelled TO TIL the
soil in Europe than in America. In
some countries OF Europe women do a
large part of the agricultural work.
This is thought to be degrading and
showing q poor state of civilization. At
the same time there is no doubt that
if our American women could live
more in the open air they would be
stronger and healthier Young girls
are often crowded into poorly ventilated
schools. Later IN life they suffer from
backache, spire-aches and headaches.
They are not fitted TO take up the bur
den of married life.
A woman does not have to be a bust
ness woman to get tired. Many women
have housekeeping duties and the care
of children which wears them out
makes them nervous Onr advice to all
such women is to lie down in the middle
of the day for a short period, on the
fiat of the back, without pillows or sup
ports, and completely relaxing, endeavor
to forget worries. More important
than all is TO get at the root of the
troubles. A garden full of weeds will
not grow beautiful vegetables, fruit or
flowers In the same way a woman cali
not look well who has allowed her con-
stitutiOu TO be undermined by the weak
nesses, pains and acnes which so many
American women are prone TO. To get
al the real source of her trouble, a
woman should consult a good specialist
IN the diseases Of women. Perhaps the
physician who has had the widest prac-
tice III this class of disease in all the
United States, is DR.. r. Y. Pierce, chief
consulting physician to the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, OF Buffalo,

of vour case from him free of charge

strictest confidence. For the majority
Of women suffering from those distress
ing pains and drains which come upon
her periodically, there IS nOthln" better
than Dr. Piercc's Favorite Prescription.
Many mothers of families in the United
States have reason to be grateful TO the
person who recommended Or. PierCe's
