An Ex-Sheriff Talks.


Scott City, Kan, March 2Oth-(Spe-
cial. almost every newspaper tells
of cures OF the most deadly of kidney
diseases by Dodd's Kidney Pills,
Bright's Disease, Diabetes, Rheuma-
tism and Bladder troubles, in fact any
disease that is of the kidneys or caus-
ed by disordered kidneys is readily
cured by this great American remedy.
But it is in curing the earlier stages
of kidney complaint that Dodd's Kid
ney Pills are doing their greatest
work. They are preventing thousands
of cases of Bright's disease and other
deadly ailments by curing Kidney Dis

in the body.
Speaking of this work Ex-Sheriff

Mrs AAEarme, I7AA~s. Ella Lee

An eminent physician says that
"Women are not truthful; they will lie
to their physician" This statement
should be qualified; women do tell the
truth, but not the whole truth, to 3
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 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 women.
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 on2
This is the reason why thousands and
thousands of women are now CORE
spending with Mrs. Pinkham. To her
they can and do give every symptom,
SO that she really knows more about
the true condition of her patients,
through her correspondence with them
than the physician who personally
questions them.
Ify0u 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 that this great boon, which
is extended freely to women 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.

SCIATIC TORTURE
PAIN SUFFERED BY MR.. MARST0N
AS GREAT AS MORTAL CAN STAND.
For Six Months He Could Not Turn in
Bed-He Tells of Remedy Which
Has Given Perfect Relief.


Bed-He Tells of Remedy Which
Has Given Perfect Relief.
The case of Mr. Marston shows that
sciatica can be cured, and no one afflicted
by it should allow himself to be dis
heartened. He was first stricken about
year ago, and for six months he suffered
pain which he thinks the most intense
that any man could possibly stand.
Asked about the details of his remark
able recovery, Mr.. Marston gave the fol-
lowing account: 81 was attacked by
numbness or dull feeling just back of my
right hip. didn't know what the mat
ter was, but thought it was simply a
stiffness that would wear away in a
short time It didn't, however, and
soon the pain became so very bad that
every step was torture for me. When I
finally succeeded III getting home, it was
Just as much as I could do to reach my
room and get to bed.
''The doctor was sent for, and when he
had examined me he said had sciatica.
He prescribed for me, and advised me not
to try to leave my bed. The advice was
unnecessary for / couldn't get out of
bed if wanted to. It was impossible for
me to turn from one side to the other.
The moment I attempted to move any
part of my body, the pain became SO ex-
eruciating that would have to lie per-
fectlv motionless.
az suffered this torture for six months
without getting any relief. Then dis
charged the doctor, and on the advice of
a friend bought box of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills and began to take them, three
at dose, three times day. was de
termined to give them a thorough trial.
1.-Two months after began TO use
them I was able TO leave my bed and
walk about the house, and month later
I was entirely cured and able to go about
my work as usual. I think DR.. Williams
Pink Pills are the best medicine ever
used, and I heartily recommend them to
anyone who suffers from sciatica'

HYMNS OF A HIGH NUMBER.
Curious Rule Prevails in the English
Church at Monte Carlo.

A curious fact anent the service
held in the English church at Monte
Carlo is that no hymn under thirty
seven is ever sung there. The reason
for this may not be generally known.
1t is as follows:
A member of the congregation, a
certain English peer. once went to-
the rooms on Sunday, Immediately
after the morning service, and put
the maximum on thirty-two. the num-
Der of the last hymn. 1t turned up,
and the inspiration - was widely
talked about, as such things are in
the frivolous society of the principal
ity. The next Sunday the little
church was crowded and the last
hymn being low number, an I'M
seemly rush to the rooms took place
directly it was announced. Curiously
enough, the number again turned up.
and the bank was badly hit.
On the following Sunday the church
would not hold all the worshipers,
but their intent was frustrated, as
all the hymns were off the board -
and have been so ever since.

Ways That Are Pleasant and Paths

1t is the simple life that gives

Men die long before their time be-

Grape-Nuts food. 1t made me feel
like a new woman; my muscles got
solid, my figure rounded out. my
weight increased 10 126 pounds in a
few weeks, my nerves grew steady
and my mind better and clearer. My

FEARED BURIAL IN TRANCE.
Unhappy Existence Led by Victim of
Peculiar Disease

Peculiar Disease.
In one of my voyages from Cape
Town to England, - writes a traveller,
81 shared my cabin with a peculiar
man, whose name was Lazarus. He
made me promise that if he should die
during the voyage 1 would prevent
his burial at sea. He said that on a
previous voyage he had fallen sick
and was taken for dead and put into
a sack for burial. A quartermaster
had been put on to watch the body
until it was time for the funeral.
When the burial party arrived, the
quartermaster informed the captain
that he thought the body had moved
in the sack The sack was opened
and Lazarus eventually came to life
again. Such was the story Lazarus
told me. Lazarus was a thin man,
with a sallow face. He had an enor-
nous appetite and appeared at every
meal, to which he devoted his whole
energies. The good feeling only
seemed to add to his corpse-like ap-
pearance. One evening, sure enough,
when we were about half way to our
voyages end, he apparently died
again. The doctors took him in
charge this time, however, and he
came out of his trance without any
shotted-sack episode. He was met
at the London docks by a number of
relatives and friends. all of whom
looked as if they might be suffering
from the same complaint. -

GHOSTS IN ROYAL PALACE.
Hampton Court Said to Have Visitors
From the Spirit World.


At Hampton Court palace near Lon
don are, according to report, several
ghosts, all of which belong to the
Tudor period. First is Jane Sey-
mour,'' says a writer, who, clad in
white garments, and carrying light
ed candle. ascends the queens stair
case on the anniversary of the birth
of her son. Edward VI. The ghost
was laid by the opening up of the
stairway. Mrs. Penn, the nurse and
foster mother of Edward VI, is the
most persistent ghost. Since her
grave was disturbed in Hampton
church her gaunt figure in a long
gray robe has walked the vicinity of
her old rooms and the whirring of
her spinnings wheel has been heard
by several people. The board of works
instituted an inquiry and discovered
a walled up room with an old spin
ming wheel. the treadle of which ap-
peared to have worn the oaken floor
ing. The third Tudor ghost is Cath
crime Howard, who is reputed to haunt
a gallery about to be opened to the

No News Of Military Developments for
Three Days.
NEW GENERAL HAS COMMAND.
The Fourth European Corps Is De-
parting Southwark From Hardin
and General Linevitch Will Soon
Have Some Fresh Troops.

st. Petersburg, March 20.-Decided
anxiety is felt regarding the fate Of
the army in Manchuria under its new
commander, no news of military de-
velopment during the last three days
having been received. The only dis
patches from the front are the brief
announcements yesterday that Gener-
al Linevitch had assumed command
and that General Kuropatkin was de-
parting for ST. Petersburg, disposing
of a rumor that Kuropatkin had COM
mitted suicide. and the Associated
morning of March 16 and written at
the station of Kaiyuan, which was
then held by the Russians. In this
correspondents opinion no pause in
the Japanese advance is probable for
some time. The Russians are losing
heavily in the rear guard actions and
Japanese columns are reported to be
pushing northward as fast as possible
to complete the development of the
Russian forces.
General Linevitch will have a con-
a day or two, the fourth European
corps being now at Hardin and de-
parting southwark Military officers
declare that there are now 26S,OOO
men at General Linevitch's disposal
in Manchuria and it is believed that
this force will be sufficient to cause
the Japanese to exercise greater eau
ton in their pursuit.
Prince HiIkoff, who will leave St.
Petersburg soon to prepare the 81
berian railway for FORWARDING the new
levies which have been determined on,
said there had been no breakdOwns
as yet and that he hoped as soon as
navigation opened it would be possible
to transport one-fourth of the outgo-
ing soldiers by the rivers and relieve
the railroad to that extent.
Although General Kuropatkin's
downfall was inevitable from mill
tary standpoint it arouses sympathy
in circles familiar with the long cam
paign that has been waged against
him by the general staff. General
Sakharoff was his open enemy and
General Dragomiroff his most severe
critic and many of his own subordi-
mates were jealous. Many epigrams
about General Kuropatkin's short
comings are attributed to General
Dragomiroff and the suppression of
the former at such a critical moment
is directly attributed to Dragomiroff's
advice, Emperor Nicholas now giving
ear to the veteran strategiSt in mill
tary affairs
General Linevitch is distinctly a
line officer with long record as a
fighter He is almost as cordially dis
liked by the general staff as his pre-
decessor and there is also bad blood
between Kuropatkin and Linevitch,
dating from personal quarrel in the
days when Kuropatkin was command
er of the trans-Balkal army, which led
Linevitch to demand satisfaction.
KurOpatkin assumed the position that
he could not fight an officer of inferior
rank The succession of this officer
will naturally increase General Kuro-
patkin's discontinue.

SEEDING IN PROGRESS IN WEST.
ERIN CANADA.
Mild Weather is Bringing Thousands
of Settlers.


of Settlers.
The splendid yields of wheat, oats
and barley produced by the farmers
or Western Canada and the excellent
prices received for the same, have
been the means of giving an increased
interest throughout the United States
AS result the inquiries made of the
Agents of the Canadian Government
have nearly doubled over those of the
same period last year. Railroad COM
ranies are putting on increased car
ry1ng capacity to meet the demand
made upon them for carrying passen-
gers and freight. Everything points
to most prosperous year. There is
room for hundreds of thousands ad-
ditional settlers, much new land hav-
ing been opened up for settlement
this year.
1t is quite interesting to look
through the letters received from the
Americans who have settled in West
ern Canada during the past few years,
and considering the large number it
is surprising how few there are who
have not succeeded. An extract from
letter written by Mr.. Geo. NJ. Girls
Grever, Montana, written on the End
OF January is as follows:
II am located ~ miles from a
beautiful lake 10 miles long, where
there is church, school, stores,
creamery and two postoff1ces. The
fine stock, both cattle (cows and
steers) horses, hogs and sheep are
rolling fat, grazing in pasture to-day,
just little snow, hardly enough for
good sleighing, as we just had a Chi
nook which has melted the roads and
laid bare the fields and pasture There
are fine wheat, oats, barley and fax
raised here, also winter wheat and
timothy hay for export to British Co
lumbia. This is a mixed farming
and dairy country. This is the right
time to get fOOthold in the Canadian
West, as it was some years ago in the
United States. We are free from
wind gumbo and alkali here and have
fine, clear soft we'll and spring water
at depth of from to 25 feet, and
lots of open everfiowing springs"
