Hearing how Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound had saved other women from
serious operations decided to try it, and in
less than four months l was entirely cured;
and words fail to express my thankfulness"
Miss Margret Merkley of 275 Sd
Street, Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"Loss of strength, extreme nervousness,
severe shooting pains through the pelvic
extreme irritation compelled me to seek
medical advice. The doctor, after making
an examination, said that Ihad ovarian trou-
BILE and liberation, and advised an operation
as my only hope. To this strongly objected
and decided as last resort to try Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
ITO my surprise the liberation healed, all
the bad symptoms disappeared, and am once
more strong, vigorous and well; and can
not express my thanks for what it has done
for me-"
Ovarian and womb troubles are
steadily on the increase among women
and before submitting to an opera
ton every woman should try Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and
| write Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass.
| for advice.
| For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's
| Vegetable Compound has been curing
the worst forms of female complaints,
all ovarian troubles, Inflammation, ul-
ceration, falling and displacement of
the womb, leucorrhea, Irregularities,
indigestion and nervous prostration.
Any woman who could read the many
grateful letters on file in Mrs Pink
hams Office would be convinced of the
efficiency of her advice and Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

St. Petersburg, April $3.50 A NJ
the reform elements of various per
suasiOns are busily Celebrating schemes
pf new governmental machinery but
without coordination and unless the
various elements come together in some
such organization as that proposed by
the barrlsters at their recent congress
here the projected reform is likely to
suffer from the multiplicity Of views
and aims. Three distinct assemblies Of
Liberals were in session in st. Peters
surg yesterday-the engineers, the lit
fenateurs and a group attempting to
FORM a new moderate constitutional
party, and today there will be the op-
Wincial journalists.
The ltterateurs' session was barren
of results; the meeting of engineers,
which was held privately, was discOv-
cred and dispersed by the police before
lt passed the preliminary stage, and the
moderate cOnstitutionalists, after al two
days session, were unable to agree on
= programme to which it wished to

It is likely that the 1000 oil paint
ing of ''The Capture of Burns Bat
terry which hangs in the city court
room in the court house, may be
moved to some other room in the
court house to prevent its being
spoiled by the ravages of time and to
put it where it will be of more vaIlla-
ton as a record in oil of a historic
incident of the war days of Kansas.
The picture was painted by B. D.
Mileham, of the Santa Fe paint shops
The late G. G. Gage paid $1,000 for
the picture which is ten feet by six.
and presented it to the county. The
picture has been hanging in the city
court room but as it has to hang very
high in order to be where it can be
seen and to receive the proper light.
it has been necessary to tip the
picture from the wall This has badly
warped and twisted the gold leaf
frame. It has been thought that it
would be better to place the picture in
the Grand Army room, in the court
house, where it can be placed soIidIv
and fiat against the wall and where If
can be viewed to better advantage.

TTTFNOIs LIFE CASE POSTPONED.
Involves $4,000 in Taxes Claimed by
the County.

The tax case of the Illinois Life IN
surance company, set for hearing this
morning before County Clerk New
man, was indefinitely postponed on
account of the absence Of GEORGE r.
Cole, manager of the Kansas branch
of the company.
The outcome of the case is of great
importance to the city and county as
it Involves the collection or non-col-
lection of $4,000 in taxes, 1890 of
which would go to the city of Topeka,
$3.50 to the board Of education and
the remainder to the county The
question is whether the mortgages
held by the company and deposited as
security for insurance in force in
Kansas shall be taxed or not. The
valuation of these mortgages amounts
to over 100000
The law provides that the county
clerk shall decide all such questions
appeals may be taken from his de-
cisiou to the district court. The board
Of county commissioners thinks that
tine mortgages should be taxed and
the board refers to a recent decision
lin Indiana
Last year there was some dispute
about the taxing of the mortgages of
the company, but finally they were
put on the assessment roll by the
board OF equalization. 1t was found
that the assessment had not been
properly made and the valuation was
not placed on the tax roll. The hear

READJUST BOARDS.
,ne 7Ian Cannot Be a Director in
Two Parallel Railroads.

New York. April 18.-General read
3ustment in the personnel of the north
western railroad directorates concerned
IN the Northern Securities dissolution is
soon to take place, according to the
Times. This is understood to have been
found necessary in order to comply with
alae decision of the supreme court, under
which it is believed that one man can
nee be director in two parallel and
competing railroad companies.
This discovery Upsets one OF the work
ing methods of the community of in
t5Fest plan under which practically the
same board of directors controlled a
large number of systems, and, while it
IS not believed that the decision viii do
away with this idea altogether, hnan-
ciers say It will make the control of
such boards Of directors much more diff
dcuIt. One Of the first changes sched-
uled to take place viii be in the board
Of the Northern Pacific railroad at the
annual meeting May Is next. This will
be the first meeting held by the stock
holders of that road in two years and
= half, because of the injunction pre-
venting the voting OF the stock held by
the Northern securities company WIN
out which there was never quorum.
James J. Hin resigned from the board
some time ago, because he believed 1t
illegal for one man to sit as director
OF competing lines.
The Hin interests are said to make no
secret Of their interest now to re-elect
Hartman and the latter interests ad-
init that they expect that Mr.. Hartman
viii fail of reelection It is said that
the views held by Mr.. Hill are also now
maintained by the Rockefeller interests
and that for this reason there will in
the near future be many changes in
board mem berships.
IL the decision Of the Western in
terests is carried further there may be
Z. rearrangement of the directors Of
many Of the eastern railroads which are
competitors and whose boards are com
posed of practically the same men,

Hau and Roosevelt.

The banquet Of the American So
ciety in London. In celebration of In
dependence Day, which was post
poned until Saturday night out of re-
spect for the memory Of John Hay,
resolved itself into symposium in
his honor and an appreciation of
Roosevelt.
To Hay and Roosevelt not only the
people of America but of the whole
world are under lasting obligations
for distinguished services in the
cause of peace and civilization. Lord
Landsdowne' description Of Roose-
welt as first and foremost among the
public men of the world" is not only
courteous but true. Roosevelt's
primacy among public men is un-
questioned today and imposes upon
him additional obligations which he
will doubtless recognize and satisfy.
Z In this connection it is a source of
qualification to the people of the
United States to know that our con-
tributions to world effort and world
progress are appreciated abroad; it is
matter of modest pride that our
great men, when measured by other
standards, do not dwarf; and it is OF
supreme Importance that our mer
and achievements of today are OF
sufficient magnitude and honor not
to be made Insignificant by the glo-
rious memories of the illustrious past
Our country not only celebrates the
past with honor. but it produces mer
and work sufficient unto the day
This is not self-praise. but world ac-
knowledgement We still look for
ward.
