sx-eov. NASH Is DEAD.
Nc Expired Suddenly In Bath Room
Of His son-ln-Law's Home.


Columbus, o., Oct 29.-Ex-Gov. Geo.
Kilbon Nash was. shortly before noon.
Friday. discovered dead in his bath
room. Before he started to take his
bath, he did not seem to be unusually
weak and there was no intimatlon OF
the sudden end. AS is generally
known, he has several times been de-
clared near death, but had regained
strength and displayed vitality which
surprised his doctors. The end was
not only sudden, but peaceful, his
heart seeming TO have suddenly stop
ped short. painless death ensuing.
The governor was in the bath room
at the residence OF his son-in-law,
Worthington E, Babcock. He was
alone at the time and the sound OF
heavy fall called several members oil
the household to the bath room, where
he was found on the floor unconscious
and to all appearances dead. His ply
siclan was sent for but life was ex
tince when he arrived.
The ex-governor had been In preca
rious health since the launching OF The
Ohio, having suffered his first attacl
In Colorado on his return from th'
coast. After retiring from the execu
tive office he resumed the practice
Of law. but could do little active work
In the last tour months he had beer
rarely at his law office. A week ag'
Thursday he went to the State unlveT
sity to attend meeting of the boar,
Of trustees, of which he was mem
Der. That was the last active worI
he did. While both the patient an
his family knew that death nigh
come at any time. there was no specia
reason to expect it at this time II
seemed no worse than usual durin
the forenoon.

The American Girl.
WHAT MAKES HER PoPuLAR.

The American girl Is admired and liked
At home and abroad because she is the
happiest, usually the healthiest and friend
Hest Of girls. She is fond Of life and is
alive TO everything beautiful and good in
existence. Mrs. Langtry has said that the
American woman has little to learn from
her English sisters.
Dr.. Pierce, the specialist in womeu's dis
eases, of Buffalo, N. Y, advises simple ex-
ercises for women, preferably in the out
door air. But many women are confined
to the house and their household duties or
their business confines them to poorly ven
tilated rooms.
II a woman suffers from a headache, a
backache, sensation of irritability or
twitching and uncomfortable nervousness
something must be wrong with the head or
back, she naturally says, but all the time
the real trouble very often centers in the
womanly organs In % per cent of cases
the seat of the difficulty is here, and a
woman should take rational treatment for
its cure. The local disorder and inflamma-
ton of the delicate special organs Of the
sex should be treated steadily and system
aticaliy.
Backed up by over a third Of a century Of
remarkable and uniform cures, record
such as no other remedy for the diseases
and weaknesses peculiar TO women ever
attained, the proprietors and makers of DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel fully
warranted in offering 10 pay $500 for any
case of I.eucorrhea, Female Weakness, Pro
lapsus, or Failing Of Womb which they
cannot cure. All they ask is fair and
reasonable tIial Of their means OF cure.
