through the advice of Mrs. Pinkhams
of Lynn, Mass, which is given to sick
women absolutely free of charge.
Mrs. Pinkham has for many years
made a study of the ills of her SEX
she has consulted with and advised
thousands of suffering women, who
to-day owe not only their health but
even life TO her helpful advice.
Mrs. Fannie d. Fox, of Chestnut
Street, Bradford, Pa, writes
Dear Mrs. Pinkham -
81 suffered for long time with womb
trouble, and finally was told by my physician
that had tumor on the womb. / did not
want to submit to an operation, so wrote you
for advice. / received your letter and did as
you told me, and to-day am completely
cured. My doctor says the tumor has disap-
peared, and am once more a well woman.
believe Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is the best medicine in the world for
women"
The testimonials which we are con-
stantlypublishing from grateful women
establish beyond doubt the power Of
Lydia E. Pinhham's Vegetable Com
pound to conquer female diseases.
Women suffering from any form Of
female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs.
Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. She asks
nothing in return for her advice. 1t is
absolutely free, and to thousands Of
women has proved to be more precious
than gold.

full white woman so contentedly roam
ing about the shores of this fetish is
land. With the slow speed advised
by the Roman philosopher the back
sight and fore sight of the rife came
into line with the breast of the coarse
brute clutching the girls face.
Then something bit him above the
heart and simultaneously tore half Of
his back into fragments. He fell, with
q queer sob, and the others turned to
face this unexpected danger.
Iris, knowing only that she was free
from that hateful grasp, wrenched her
self free from the chiefs hold and ran
with all her might along the beach to
jerks and safety.
Again and yet again the rifle gave
its short, sharp snarl, and two more
Dyaks collapsed on the sand. Six were
left, their leader being still uncon-
sciously preserved from death by the
figure of the flying girl.
A fourth Dyak dropped.
The survivors, cruel savages, but not
towards, unslung their guns. The sail

the change portend a storm? Well,
they were now prepared for all such
eventualities, and he had not forgot
ten that they possessed among other
treasures, box of books for rainy
days. And rainy day with Iris for
company! What gale that ever blew
could offer such compensation for en-
forced idleness?
The morning sped In uneventful
work. Iris did not neglect her cherish
ed pitcher plant. After luncheon 1t
was her custom now to carry dish
full OF water to its apparently arid
roots, and she rose to fulfill her self i'm
posed task.
"Let me help you" said jerks. 81
am not very busy this afternoon"
mo, thank you. l simply won't al
low you to touch that shrub. The dear
thing looks quite glad to see me. 1t
drinks up the water as greedily as a
thirsty animal"
Iris had been gone perhaps five min
utes when he heard a distant Shrek,
twice repeated, and then there came
family to his ears his own name, not
"Jenks," but Robert" in the girls
voice. Something terrible had hap
pened. 1t was cry Of supreme dis
tress. Mortal agony or overwhelming
terror alone could wiring that name
from her lips. Precisely in such mo-
ments this man acted with the deci-
sion, the unerring judgment, the in
Simultaneous acceptance of great risk to
accomplish great results, that marked
him out as born soldier.
He rushed into the house and
snatched from the rack one of the ri
fles reposing there in apple pie order,
each with a filled magazine attached
and cartridge already in position.
Then he ran with long strides not
through the trees, where he could see
nothing, but toward the beach, whence
in forty yards the place where Iris
probably was would become visible.
At once he saw her struggling in the
grasp of two ferocious looking Dyaks,
one by his garments a person of conse-
quence, the other half naked savage,
hideous and repulsive in appearance.
Around them seven men armed with
guns and parangs were dancing with
excitement.
Iris captors were endeavoring to tie
her arms, but she was a strong and ac-
tive Englishwoman, with muscles well
knit by the constant labor of recent
busy days and q frame developed by
years Of horse riding and tennis play
ing. The pair evidently found her a
tough handful, and the inferior Dyak,
either to stop her screams-for she was
shrielSing, Robert, come to me-" with
all her might--or to stifle her into sub
mission, roughly placed his huge hand
over her mouth.
These things the sailor noticed in
stantly. Some men, brave to rashness,
ready as he to give his life to save her,
would have raced madly over the inter
vening ground, scarce a furlong, and
attempted Il heroic combat of one
against nine.
Not so jerks.
With the methodical eXactness of the
parade ground he settled down on one
knee and leveled the rifle.
None Of the Dyaks saw him. All
were intent on the sensational prize

Meanwhile he taught Iris how to
weave q net out of the strands of I'M
raveled cordage. With this, weighted
by bullets, he contrived casting net
and caught lot Of small fish in the

hit upon two species which most re-

their location. To these he nailed or
tied crossbeams of felled saplings, and
the tarpaulins dragged from the beach
supplied roof and walls. It required

to haul into position the heavy sheet

Although the cdifice required at least

to take UP her quarters there immedi.

The girl laughed.
Curiously enough, the lifting of the
veil upon the mans earlier history
made these two much better friends.

night brought rest. The sailor made
out a programme to which he rigidly
adhered In the first place, he COM

slept, and an outer, which served as a
shelter for their meals and provided a

Then he constructed q gigantic sky

of powders on top of the cliff. His
chief difficulty was to hoist into place
the tall poles he needed, and for this
purpose he had to again visit Palm
Tree rock in order to Secure the pulley.
BY exercising much ingenuity in devils

lifting the masts into their allotted re,

neighboring trees, the loftiest of which

st. Petersburg, March S.-(2:15
a m.)-That the battle of Mul1den will
go down in history with Liaoyang in
the long list of Russian defeats is the
almost universal belief in pessimistie

the meaning of the word victory The
war Office does not admit that the is

exceeds in magnitude of operations

in high quarters thatKuropatkin has
telegraphed to Emperor Nicholas that
it will be impossible to hold Mukden

northward has already been begun.

the Russians are preparing to abandon
Mukden and Fushun and to retreat to

Mukden, March S.-Fighting Of the
fiercest nature, which is likely to de-
eide the fate of the battle which has
been in progress for ten days, began
at dawn Tuesday and has continued
uninterruptedly up to the present time
on a front fourteen miles long west of
the railroad and on a line with the
Shalhe river.

Troops Exhausted.

The Japanese also have made des-
perate attack on Bentsiaputse and the
reports are arriving here that fighting
was renewed Tuesday morning on the
extreme left of the Russian army. Both
sides are fighting with desperation to
the westward, though the troops are
well nigh exhausted.
The issue of the battle may depend
largely on the relative physical condi-
ton of the rank and file. In its main
features the combat is very much like
that at Liaoyang, and If the Russians
should be able to crush the fanking
force, victory may be regarded as won.
The losses in the ten days of battle on
both sides are already far greater than
were the casualties in the battle Of
Liaoyang, and are likely to increase
as the days pass before the issue il
fully decided.

ington Friday Afternoon.

Nan Patterson, the one time
Floradora show girl, was released
from the Tombs prison at New
York OH Friday, after almost a year
within its walls, awaiting a deter
mination of the charge that she had
murdered her protector, Caesar J.
Young, a race bookmaker.
She left for Washington at 3:25
o'clock in the afternoon. She was
loudly cheered by a crowd of 2 900
persons as she left the prison.
Her release was made at the in
stance of District Attorney Jerome,
who said he did not believe another
trial would result other than in a
disagreement. At the same time
he declared that there had been a
serious miscarriage of justice. He
said many of the newspapers had
labored to create sympathy for the
girl.

Court House Heating.

Last fall the county commission
ers believed that they could save
money for the county by installing
steam heating plant in the court
house. The cost of steam heat
would have been 10000 if taken
from the Steam Co. Up to this
time the entire cost of the heating
apparatus, aud the coal has been
$IoS4 I9, and little coal still on
hand. The heat has been entirely
satisfactory. This was a wise
move on the part of the commits
sioners, as the saving is such that
at the present time the plant stands
the county but $I24.I9. The coal
last winter cost S379.52, SO that
next winter the heat will cost
$5oI.7I, after saving the entire
cost of the plant. After that the
cost of steam heat for the court
house will be $4,000 as against
5000 under the old plan.

Some of the remarks were entirely
uncalled for and decidedly unbecom-/
ing. Be it said to his shame the
gray in the hair of one who appear
ed to be on the aggressive would
seem to indicate that he is old
enough to know better. This Sort
Of thing is robbing Bloomsbury of
the reputation which it has so long
enjoyed of being square town.
The Normal management was OBJ
viously displeased and hopes that
the patrons Of the game will desist
in the future.
Even to those who are but little
interested in the outcome, the agita-
tions of the political pot are most
apparent just now. The heat of
the contest tor the various offices
compels a struggle on the part of
every candidate, and every district
of the county is being thoroughly
canvassed. Ordinarily at this stage
with the delegate election only
three weeks distant, one can see the
signs of certain candidates pop
ularity on the surface, but not so in
this instance. AS one leading
democrat expressed himself on
Tuesday: This is a still hunt.
Appearances are delusive. Every.
body is working and working hard.
I've tried to keep tabs on the situa-
ton but must confess that I'm at

THE STATE TO AID
State Board OF Health Will Help Boroughs
and townships in Need.

The act passed by the last legis-
lature for its object the suppression
os epidemics, the prevention of dis
ease and the protection Of human
beings and which a few days ago
received the approval Of Cover
nor Pennypscker, is favorably
commented upon by the medical
profession The bill gives financial
assistance during epidemics and
in so doing makes it possible
for bankrupt boroughs and town
ships to take immediate st o S
to prevent the spread of the disease.
Although the appropriation that
has been made is not large 1t is
believed that it will be sufficient to
demonstrate the benefit of such all
act. The essential portions Of the
act are as follows,
THAT the sum of $50, 600 hz and
the same is hereby specifically
appropriated and set apart out ofany
money i'll the treasury not otherwise
appropriated tor the purpose of
creating an emergency fund to be
used as occasion may require by
the State Board of Health in the
suppression and the prevention of
disease and the protection OF human
life in times of epidemic diseases
beyond the ability OF the local
authorities to check.
The money herein appropriated
shall be held in the treasury of tie
commonwealth and whenever the
secretary of the State Board Of
Health shall find that the public
health is threatened, either by cpl
demic or as result of great disaster
to such an extent that lhe local
authorities are unable to meet the
emergency, he shall prepare state
ment to that effect rehearsing all
the facts i'll the case and the reason
for considering that state aid is
needed and to what amount, and
transmit the same to The governor.
II lbS SldlSuiOit anu tllC lCdSOuS
therein set forth shall meet with the
approx of the governor he shall
certify and file statement and certi-
fcate Of approval in the office
of the auditor general who shall
then draw his warrant upon
the state treasurer for the amount
approved Of by the gov ernor
and place the same in the
hands of the treasurer of the State
Board of Health, to be used for the
purpose set forth in the statement
approved of as aforesaid, and for
no other purpose.
'If, after the said epidemic shall
have been suppressed or the sick
ness or danger averted, there shall
still be balance of the amount
drawn left in the hands of the
treasurer, he shall without delay
return the same to the state treas
urer and it shall become apart of
the said emergency fund. He shall
also file with the auditor general a
specifically itiemized statement
made under oath of the expenditure
ofthe said moneys as soon as pos
sible."
