FEVER AT PENSACOLA.
Two New Cases of Plague Appear in
 Florida City.

Florida City,
 Pensacola, Fla. Sept. 2.-(Special.)- There is not a great deal of activity in the city tonight. People realize that yellow fever has gained access to the place and strenuous work will have to be done to eradicate 1t.
 Two pronounced cases were reported today One was George Dansby, who was employed two doors from the store where the first appearance of the dis ease was made. The case Is very slight and no quarantine will be established about the territory where his home is. George Brent, son of President Brent of the First National Bank, was the second victim of the disease. He came home sick from a fishing trip and soon developed the fever.
 pr. Porter decided today that there was no absolute necessity of isolating territory in the immediate vicinity of the house where sickness occurs, but will quarantine the house alone. As had been expected. large number of people left Pensacola today and many will follow tomorrow. There were no deaths today. .+

st. Louis, March 21.-Mrs. Mary
Page, a spiritualist, ~clairvoyant and
fortuneteller, was mys~teriously muir
dered Sunday night in her room, 2211
Market street. The body was found at
7:3O a. m, Monday, by Michael Church,
who has been accustomed to perform
ing chores for Mrs. Page.
The murder of Mrs. Page was con
Quoted so quietly hal Mr.. and Mrs.
joining that where the crime was
committed, heard nothing to arouse
their suspicious.
Mrs. Page was strangled to death,
and the method is on a par with the
work Of the Strangers of Paris.
When found the hands of the dead
woman were bound behind her, and
her ankles were bound with a strong
cord. A strong towel was bound over
her mouth, and was drawn as tight as
the efforts of a powerful man could
draw it. The towel was spread out, SO
that it covered her nostrils as we'll,
and it was absolutely impossible for
her to have drawn a breath after the
cloth was fastened on her head.
There were finger prints on her
throat, showing that after binding and
gagging her she was choked, so as to
expedite death.
Robbery was evidently the motive,
for the was thoroughly ran
sacked, and the valuables and money
that the woman was supposed to pos
sess are missing.
The police are at sea, but are using
the dragnet in the hope of getting
some clew to the identity of the MUIR
derer.

An eminent physician SAYS that

TO their physician" This statement
should be qualified; women do tell the
truth, but not the whole truth, to 4
male physician, but this is only in re-
gard to those painful and troublesome
disorders peculiar to their Sex.
There can be no more terrible ordeal
to a delicate, sensitive, refined woman
than to be obliged to answer certain
questions when those questions are
asked, even by her family physician.
This is especially the case with un-
married ONE
Is it any wonder, then, that women
continue to suffer and that doctors
fail to cure female diseases when they
cannot get the proper information to
work on?
This is the reason why thousands and
thousands of women are low CORE
spending with Mrs. Pinkham. To her
they can and do give every symptom,
so that she really knows more about
h true condition of her patients,
through her correspondence with them
than the physician who personally
questions them.
Ifyou suffer from any form of trouble
peculiar to women, write at once to
Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, and she
will advise you free of charge.
The fact hat this great boon, which
is extended freely to ONE by Mrs.
Pinkham, is appreciated, the thou
sands Of letters received by her prove.
Many such grateful letters as the fol-
lowing are constantly pouring in.
