Doctor Brigham Says
MANY PHYSICIANS PRESCRIBE
Lydia e. PInklsansrs
Vegetable Compound

The wonderful power of Lydia e.
Pinlham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womankind is not be-
cause 1t is stinulant, not because it
Is palliative. but simply because it is
the most wonderful tonic and recon-
structor ever discovered TO act directly
upon the generative organs, positively
curing disease and restoring health and
vigor
Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the virtue of
Lydin Il. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where II Is due.
If physicians dared to be frank and
open, hundreds OF them would aclSnowl-
edge that they constantly prescribe
Lydia F.. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in severe cases of female ills, as
they know by experience it can be re-
lied upon to effect cure. The follow
Ing letter proves 1t.
DR.. 8. G. Brigham, of brigham
Park, Fitchburg, Mass, writes
at gives me great pleasure to say that
hsyo found Lydia Il. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound very eificacious, and often pre-
scribe IL In my practice for female difficulties.
"My oldest daughter found it very benef-
cial for uterine trouble some time ago, and my
youngest daughter Is now taking II for fe-
male weakness, and is surely gaining in health
and strength

rifle In all diseases to which women are sub
jsct, and give 1t honest endorsement"

FILIPINO MAIDEN ON THE stand
Testifies Against Mrs. Taggan and Gives First
Evidence of InfideIity of Defendant Offered
in the Sensational Trial

Wooster, o., Aug. 4.--Various were
The sensations injected into the Tag
cart divorce case today, but the eli
max came in the afternoon, with the
deposition of Augustine Delacruz, a
Filipino girl, who was maid servant
for the Taggarts in Manila in 1901.
This dusky maiden, who is 3s years
old, gave the first direct evidence of
the infdelity of Mrs. Taggart.
She said in her deposition that one
Gay in August of that year Capt. Bash
had called at the Taggart home in the
afternoon. She was sent out of the
house with the children, but returned
within short time for cigarette. In
her bare feet she mounted the stairs,
end there saw improper acts, which
she described in her deposition in lam
guago which was unmistakable, If un-
printable.
Augustine Delacruz is the Filipino
maiden, by the way, with whom 1t was
the purpose of the defense to prove
that Capt. Taggart had sustained i'm
proper relations, she having given de-
position for both sides. In the deposit
ton read today, however, she said she
had never done anything improper
with Capt. Taggart
For brief time, at the opening Of
the divorce court this morning, the tes-
timony was favorable to Mrs. Grace
Viola Culver Taggart. the defendant,
even though that testimony was pre-
sented by the attorneys Of the plaintiff.
The witness who thus surprised the
court, attorneys for the defense and
spectators was Morrow Taggart, the
aged father of the plaintiff, who de-
clared in a deposition which was read
that he had always regarded his sons
wife as a respectable woman, and that
she and her husband had got along
nicely together.
Succeeding witnesses, however, gave
evidence strongly supporting the cause
of the plaintiff. A former servant of
Mrs. Culver, the foster mother of Mrs.
Taggart, in deposition that was read,
told of alleged disgusting improprie-
ties committed by the defendant, and
of which the defendant herself had
told.
The trial was interrupted today by
an argument upon the admissibility of
testimony, and the judge ruled at its
conclusion that, while he could not
permit third persons to be smirched, if
possible, he would keep out Of the tes-
timony nothing which reflected upon
the character of either Capt. Taggart
or his wife.
THOUGHT HER NICE WOMAN.
Morrow Taggart, father of Captain
Taggart, was the first witness by de-
position this morning In the course
Of his testimony he said:
Il regarded her as nice, respecta-
BILE woman and never knew anything
to the contrary"
Morrow Taggart lives in the village
Of Orrville and is 76 years old.
my son and his wife got along fine

and treated each other first rate" the
deposition ran, "and | wish they could
now"
The aged man swore that BILLY"
Taggart had offered him booze" in
Mrs. Taggart's house and presence, and
that deponent drank it from the bottle.
The calling of S. M. Brenneman, an
Orrville banker, to testify as to Billy"
Taggart's reputation precipitated an
other argument as to admissibility
with much quoting of authorities.
Departing far from the theme of the
argument, Attorney Smyser, Mrs. Tag
garts counsel, expounded that no
shred of testimony so far had shown
any infidelity on the woman's part,
any indiscretion at the Orrville home,
o. any culpability at the Windsor Ho-
tel in Akron, where it is alleged Billy
Taggart registered her and himeslf
Banging the table and lowering his
head like a charging bull, he shouted
at the plaintiffs attorneys an intima-
ton that they were selecting to make
character blasting evidence out of in
nocent circumstances. Courts held, he
solemnly declared, that infidelity was
not necessarily proved by the shown
fact that one room sheltered defend
ant and correspondent, provided it also
sheltered the plaintiffs child.
While the legal instances had all been
mustered and the oratorical flood had
been checked, the same occupying one
and one-half hours, an intermission
was announced.
After the recess Judge Eason, citing
many authorities of his own excava
ton, gave his ruling.
81 am inclined TO think" he said
that testimony relating to the char
acter of the alleged paramour may he
competent in general. However, the
Ohio authority on the point is clear. In
this case the characters of many per-
sons arc in jeopardy. | am inclined
to think l will exclude testimony as to
the regulations Of third parties. AS to
the characters of both plaintiff and de-
Tense, on the other hand, / must be
shown strong authority if ! do not ad-
NIT all such evidence relating to both.
The objection is sustained"
The examination being renewed
Brennan testified that he knew Billy
Taggart's reputation for sobriety, but
was not allowed to say when it was.
The deposition Of Mrs. J. r. Moore,
taken at San Francisco. was read The
deponent had been in the employ of
Mrs. Charles Culver, Mrs. Taggart's
foster mother, in Chicago, from 1901 to
1908. She knew the names of only
two of Mrs. Taggart's male callers. Mr..
Spencer and Mr.. Smyser.
mot me, gentlemen" interrupted
Judge smyser, turning to the core
spondents.
Spencer called nearly every night,
but his conduct was not unusual on
this occasion. Mrs. Taggart being i'll,
Spencer had carried her upstairs, put
her on her bed, and retired from the
room.

WENT STUNNING.

Mrs. Taggart had told deponent that
in San Francisco one night a party
went out Summing or doing the
town" One of the men in the party
OF four knew a woman who kent a
house of assignation. The party went
there and seemed to be expected. Wom-
en- came into the room, disrobed and
went through ecolutions, the descrip-
ticn OF which were given in full and
are unprintable. This conversation
took place in the house of DR.. Bar
rett OF Chicago after Mrs. Taggart
came back from the Philippines. Mrs.
Tagsart had often mentioned Mrs.
Poor, saying: Mrs. Poor was lust
about as bad as anybody could be, and
everybody knew it. She had way
that kept all the young men at her
feet. | often tried to catch her in
some compromising position, but did
rot succeed"
Mrs. Tasgart had told deponent she
did not want to get Clinton Spencer
running there because he was such a
nuisance, and Capt. Taggart disliked
him. The sworn record of the cross
examination revealed that the illness
which served as pretext for Mrs
Taggart's Sapho-like ascent of the
stairs was a cold.
Mrs. Taggart had retired from the
court room when her former domes-
tics deposition was introduced, but
her sister and brother-in-law, Mrs.
James Shields and her husband, with
their daughter, Mrs. Voannvoss, heard
the description Of the San Francisco
summing trip.
The spectators, among whom few
women appeared this morning for tho
first time, craned their necks to catch
every nauseating detail.
A second deposition of Mrs. Moore
was introduced. In 1t Mrs. Taggart
was quoted as having written from
Fort Leavenworth to deponent in San
Francisco:
For Gods sake don't come east.
want to go west, but Capt. Taggart
won't let me, I'm going anyway"
Deponent said she constantly re-
ceiyed such letters, expressing Mrs.

Tree That Is the Memorial Both of
"a Man and n Tragedy.
A tree whose name is at once the
memorial both Of Il man and a tragedy
is the Douglas pine, famous for it's
magnificent cones. Now, David Doug
las was originally a Scotch lad who
came under the notice of Sir William
Hooker, the we'll known botanist, and
through his influence was appointed
collector of rare plants to the Horti-
cultural society. He Travelled for the
society in all parts Of the sworld and
was extraordinarily successful in his
finds. 1t was he who discovered lu-
pins, eschscholtzias and godetias as
we'll as many magnificent varieties Of
pine trees, including the one bearing
bis name. But when quite a young
man he met tragic fate while plant
hunting. He was in the Sandwich
isles, and there the natives dig deep
pits to catch wild animals, covering
them over with branches and grass to
conceal their openings. On to one Of
these treacherous pits Douglas walked
one day when alone and was at once
prccipitated to the bottom. No help
was at hand, and he was devoured by
Wild beast which was also impris-
oned.

The Earthquake Belt.

Earthquakes are more frequent in
volcanic areas, but are not confined to
them. A great zone which is particu-
larly subject to earthquakes encircles
the earth. This belt includes the Med
iterranean lands, the Azores, the West
Indies, Central America, the Hawaiian
Islands, Japan, China, India, Persia
and Asia Minor. 1t is believed that
the larger number Of earthquakes orig
mate beneath the ocean. In places
where the bottom Of the sea shows
great variation in depth earthquakes
are numerous. They have, in fact,
been found to be so destructive to tele-
graph cables in these localities that
the cable authorities have named them
danger zones"

CARLYLE on Right and Wrong,

Carlyle maintained that strain of
sentiment about criminals was very
prevalent in his day, which tended seri-
ously to oblterate OF diminish the real
difference between right and wrong.
He hated with an intense hatred that
whole system of philosophy which de-
MED that there was a deep, essential,
fundamental difference between right
and wrong and turned the whole mat
ter into o. mere calculation Of inter-
ests. He was accustomed to say that
one of the chief merits of Christianity
was that it taught that right and wrong
were as far apart as heaven and hell
and that no greater calamity can be-
fall nation than weakening Of the
righteous hatred of evil.
