policeman and several others were
wounded occurred Saturday, immedi-
ately in front Of the postofice. The
strikers for two days had been seek
ing to persuade the volunteer and

Washington.-The Brazilian embas-
sy in this city has received telegram
from Baron de Rio Branco, the minis
ter of foreign affairs, stating that a
few days ago several of the officers of
the German gunboat Panther went
ashore in civilian dress and visited a
small fishing town called Itajahy In
che state of Santa Catalina, and there,
without az, form of process, seized a
man by the name of Setinhoff, who
had left his native country, Germany,
as a deserter from the army, and took

Panther. Thereupon the gunboat left
Itajahy and went to another port in

"BE EN- HUR."
The Representative American Drama
of the Age.

OF TIC N9S.
Salt Lake City, Utah.-Among
Americans who are inspired
by patriotic sentiment there cannot
fail to be a sense of qualification that
the most important play in the history
of the stage world is the work of an
American. That play is Ben Hur"-
the author, General Lew Wallace.
Since it's original production in New
York City, the closing year of the last
century, it has been presented in
many foreign countries and languages,
and all have acknowledged it's supe
riority. The attention paid 1t by rep
resentative personages Of the world,
from the Pope of Rome to the King Of
England and the President of the
United States, has worked healthy
influence among all classes, and today
to attend performance of Ben Hur"
is considered part of the education
of the rising generation.
The public of this vicinity will have
an opportunity to witness Ben Hur'
at the Salt Lake theatre, Salt Lake
City, Utah, Christmas week. 1t Is to
be enacted for six nights, starting
December 25th. Matinees are to be
given on Christmas day, Wednesday
and Saturday.

Terrors of the Sea.

New York.-The steamship Gerty
Of the Austro-American line, from
Venice, Trieste, Messina and Palermo,
arrived on Wednesday with 719 i'm
migrants, who told story of a five
weeks voyage through storms and
terrors which none cares to expert
ence again. For the better part Of a
month they were shut between decks
because of rough weather. They had
been frightened into at least one
panic, woman had gone insane from
terror, her fellow passengers said; fire
had started down in the engine space
at night, the ship had been in total
darkness, the drinking water got
salty, a passenger was choked and
robbed and death had claimed three
victims during the five weeks trip.

A BRIEF SKETCH OF HER LIFE
How the Vegetable Compound Had Its Birth and
How the "Panic of 10" Caused it to be Offered
for Public Sale in Drug Stores.

had SO often made from roots and
herbs for such of her women neigh
bors and friends who were sick and
ailing. It's success in those cases had
been wonderful-its fame had spread
and calls were coming from miles
around for this efficacious vegetable
compound.
They had no money, and little
credit. Their first laboratory was the
kitchen, where roots and herbs were
STEPPED on the stove, gradually filling
gross of bottles. Then came the
question Of selling it, for always be.
fore they had given it away free.
They hired job printer to run off
some pamphlets setting forth the mer.
it's of the medicine, now called Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
and these pamphlets were distributed
by the Pinkham sons in Boston, New
York and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties of
the medicine were, to a great extent,
self-advertising, for whoever used it
recommended it to others, and the de-
mand gradually increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts, the
family had saved enough money to
commence newspaper advertising on a
small scale, and from that time the
growth and success of the enterprise
was assured, until to-day Lydia e.
Pinkham and her Vegetable Compound
have become household words every.
where, and thousands Of pounds of
roots and herbs are used annually in
making this great remedy for woman S
ills.
Although Lydia E. Pinkham passed
to her reward some years ago, the per.
petuation of her great work was
guarded by her foresight.
During her long and eventful expert
ence she was ever methodical in her
work and was careful to preserve a
record of every case that came to her
attention. The case of every sick
woman who applied to her for advice
and there were housands-received
careful study, and the details, includ.
ing symptoms, treatment and results,
were recorded for future reference,
and to-day these records, together with
thousands made since, are available to
sick women the world over, and repre-
sent vast collaboration of informa
ton regarding the treatment of WON
ans ills which, for authenticity and
accuracy, can hardly be equaled in any
library in the world
Another act of foresight on the part
of Lydia E. Pinkham was to see that
some one of her family was trained to
carry on her work, and with that end
in view, for years before her death,
had as her chief assistant her daugh.
ter-in-law, the present Mrs. Pinkham
Therefore, under the guidance and
careful training Of Lydia E. Pinkham,
and vast experience of her own.
covering twenty years, the present
Mrs Pinkham is exceptionally well
equipped to advise sick women, which
she is always glad to do free OF
charge.
The record of Lydia E. Pinkham's

herbs and roots, is a proud and peer.

Sudden Death of EWinq.

Salt Lake City.-Samuel G. Ewing,
one of the best known hotel men in
the west, and since 1871 prominently
identified with Utah's mining inter-
ests, passed away at 80 o'clock Sat

This remarkable woman, whose
maiden name was Estes, was born in
Lynn, Mass, February 9th, 1919, COM
ing from good old Quaker family.
For many years she taught school, and
during her career as teacher she be-
came known as woman of an alert
and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above all,
she was possessed with wonderfully
sympathetic nature.
In 1843 she married Isaac Pinkham,
builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a daugh-
ter.
. In those good old-fashioned days few
drugs were used in medicines; people
relied upon natures remedies, roots
and herbs, which are to-day recognized
as more potent and efficacious in con-
trolling diseases than any combination
Of drugs.
Mrs. Pinkham from her youth took
deep interest in medicine, in botany
the study Of roots and herbs, their
characteristics, and power over dis
ease; she believed that as nature
so bountifully provides food for the
body so she also provides medicine for
the ills and weaknesses Of the body,
in the roots and herbs of the field,
and as wife, mother and sympathetic
friend, she often made use of her
knowledge of roots and herbs in pre-
pairing medicines for her family and
friends.
Knowing of so much suffering among
her sex, after much study and re-
search, Mrs. Pinkham believed that
the diseases of women have COM
mon cause, and she set to work to
find a common remedy-not at that
time as source of profit, but simply
that she might aid the suffering.
How her efforts have been rewarded
the women of the world know to-day.
In 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. It's length and severity was too
much for the large real estate inter-
ests of the Pinkham family, as this
class of business suffered most from
this fearful depression, so when the
Centennial year dawned it found their
property swept away.
At this point the history of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound COM

their mother, combined forces to re.

Detective Cohen had his fortune told by
the seeress and was informed that he was
soon 10 marry a handsome young woman,
with money, and that the result Of the mar
rage would be very happy. As the detec-
tive has seven little and big Cohens and
handsome wife already, he did not think
much Of the prediction. The seeress

all this information she demanded 81 81

for the lovesiok. Among the literature
seized were hundreds Of letters from oil
