Indianapolis Ind, June 21.-The first

experience Of Mrs. Pollard, whose pic
ture is given herewith is well worth read
ing and her recommendation of DR..
Pierce's medicines is certainly good
evidence of their value in curing dis
ease. Most women in their efforts to
make a happy home for their families
are prone TO overdo and work beyond
their strength. Housework is quite a
task for a perfectly well woman, but
for one who has become weakened by
overwork, disease and displacement are
a constant peril. Nearly all the aches
and pains which harass our women are
due to female weakness. Weakening
drains sap the strength and vitality,
pelvic congestion causes backache and
weakness, and chronic inhammations
bring on acute distress which may
appear to be in any part of the abdo-
men. Nearly every woman to- day
could be made more comfortable by
competent medical advice.
We can all tell when a Wand is prop
erly prepared and can appreciate skill
full seasoning, but even il we were to
subsist ENTIRELY on the productions of
some famous chef we would be in no
way able to set about preparing a meal
or devising a recipe. This is only pos
sible when we go into the kitchen and
set about the matter from the culinary
standpoint. Because a man is a good
eater is no reason why he should be
good cook. AS ridiculous is the claim
that a woman best understands a
woman's ills, simply because she is a
woman If woman is suffering from
the aches and pains peculiar to her sex,
she needs good medical advice, such as
only a physician can give. DR.. R. V.

has been used for the relief of woman's
ills for over 4G years offers free advice
to all ailing women. Write to-day and
he will give your case careful attention.

Pierce is medicine which is used
round the world. Based on formula
which this eminent specialist evolved

fury of remarkable and uniform cures,

Dramatic Over Life PreserVers,
Oscar Kahnweiler, a member of the
firm which supplied the life preserv-
ers, said he sold the General Slocum
her original equipment of life preserv-
ers IN 1881. The last sale made by
his firm for the Slocum was in 1895.
Mr.. Kahnweiler estimated that a
life preserver, properly cared for, would
last twenty years. Many might be-
come worthless in much less time.
Il will show you one now" said the
assistant district attorney, as he car
ried dramatically and laid across the
Knees of the witness a dilapidated look
ing life belt that was taken from the
wrecked Slocum.
IN trust myself to that belt now
with hands and feet tied" replied Mr..
kahnweiler.
Mr.. Garvin tore the rotten arm
strips of the belt and returned to his
seat saying, that will do"
Coroner Berry announced that Capt
Van Schaick, who commanded the

able to testify for several days. He
tried to get to court to-day, but col

"Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has

HIT MAY WITHDRAW
FROM THE RACE FOR v. P,

Chicago, June 21.-The Indiana dele
cation made a tour of the different
state delegations tonight and created
considerable interest, although no at
tempt was made to boom the nominal
tion of Senator Fairbanks for vice
president.
There is a practically unanimous be-
lief that the Indiana senator is to be
chosen, although there were no devel-
opments in the situation to-day. There
has been some communication with
Representative HIT and he has been
informed of the information. 1t is ex-
pected that he will authorize the with
drawal of his name, in which event the
other candidates also will be with
drawn and the nomination OF Senator
Fairbanks be made unanimous.
AS the Illinois delegation has decid-
ed to support Mr.. Hit and he has sig
nified his willingness to be a candi-
date, the delegation will not withdraw
him without his authority.

STORY OF THE RAID OF THE
VLADIV0STOK SQUADRON.

VIadivostok, June 21.-Lying in the
harbor are the three Russian cruisers
which have just returned from their
successful raid i'm the Japan sea and
straits of Korea. Vice Admiral Bezo-
brazoff took the squadron out June
II.
The first day the warships were fog
bound. They reached the Korean
straits June Is, and were sighted and
watched by a fast, three masted jap
aneSe cruiser.
Off Tsu Island the Russians pursued
vessel resembling a yacht, which es-
capped in shore.
They sank the Japanese transport
Idzumi off Kotsu Island. The Idzumi
was bringing back invaded soldiers
from Port Dalny, los of whom were
rescued by one of the Russian cruisers.
The Japanese transports Hitachi and

Ell the Eitact1i, which was filled with
troops, disregarded the signal to stop,
put on full speed. The Russian cruis-
ers thereupon opened fire on the Hi
tachi, crippling her engines and set
ting her decks afame. Still the Jap
anese refused to haul down their flag
The vessel was then seen to heel over
and hundreds of the Japanese jumped
into the sea. They were all drown
ed. The Hitach was then sunk by
a torpedo
The Sado obeyed the summons to
stop. She carried 1850 coolies for
railroad work in Korea; 1,200 tons of
coal, 1000 tons of rice, railroad and
telegraph equipments, hundred horses
and large amount OF specie.
The specie was thrown overheard by
the purser. Besides ten boats the Sado
carried twelve RATS each capable Of

was ordered to leave the ship coolies

THE LIFE AT HOME.
Domestic Science.

A BRILLIANT French writer
~ recently said: "The inventor
~ of a new dish does more for the
happiness of mankind than the
discoverer of a STAR" and this is a
proposition that cannot be gainsaid,
for the question of what we eat is one
of the most important of all the prob
lens of economic and proper living.
Of course, there are many things to be
considered, among which are the cost
of foods, what is suitable in the climate,
what foods are required for different
occupations, and the numerous ways
in which they can be prepared. A
famous cook once declared he could
cook eggs in,no less than a hundred
and thirty-seven different ways! The
question of what and when to buy is
another which requires much intelli-
gence in its solution. Modern house
wifery approaching all these difficulties,
has elaborated a school of domestic
science, by which they will BE attacked
in rational scientific way and solved
for the benefit of the American House
keeper. These schools and classes have
been instituted in nearly every town OF
the country, and some cities offer the
instruction as regular part of the
common school course. All the arts

all of the time at the session of the
cabinet to-day was devoted to consid-
Grafton of the subject of steamboat in
spection brought to the attention of
the body by Secretary Cortelyou. The
matter under discussion was incidental
to the General Slocum disaster and to
the rigid inquiry into it which has been
ordered by Secretary Cortelyou.
In view of the charges that have
been made of lack of discipline on the
Slocum and insufficient life saving
equipment and unsafe fittings in lock-
ers and storerooms, it was decided that
the best expert talent obtainable
should be called into service, and at
the suggestion of Secretary Cortelyou
it was arranged that a naval and an
army officer should be attached to the
board in the capacity of experts.

to be made by the local board of steam

Secretary Taft presented for the
consideration of the cabinet several
important departmental matters, in
GLIDING some questions concerning va

decision reached can be embodied in
the form of definite orders the matters.
said Secretary Taft, would have to be

Subsequent to the cabinet meeting
Mr.. Cortelyou had a conference with
the President regarding political mat
