Dear Mrs Pinkham:-
About three years ago had intense pain
in my stomach, with cramps and raging
headaches. The doctor prescribed for me,
but finding that did not get any better he
examined me and, to my surprise, declared

II felt sure that il meant my death warrant,
and was very disheartened. i spent hundreds
OF dollars in doctoring. but the tumor kept
growing, till the doctor said that nothing but
an operation would save me. Fortunately L
corresponded with my aunt in the New Eng
and States, who advised me TO try Lydia +.

uniting to an operation, and at once started
taking n regular treatment, finding to my
great relief that my general health began to
improve, and after three months | noticed
that the tumor had reduced in size. kept
on taking the Compound, and in ten months
it had entirely disappeared without an oper
alton. and using no medicine but Lydia +.

il has done me Miss Luella Adams, Colon

Such unquestionable testimony
proves the value of Lydia E. Pinkham's

The Straus Furniture & Carpet Co.
occupied an entire block at corner Blue
Island, Harrison and Halsted streets.
The enterprise started years ago with
a modest beginning at 246-24S W. Mad
ison street, Chicago, and steadily grew
until their quarters became inadequate,
when they moved to the New Ear build
Halsted streets. There their business
soon assumes tremendous proportion
and became one Of the most inn ortant
factors in the business life of that great
western metropolis. The stock Of the
Straus concern was bought by Hart
man 8 on a basis of one-Raf cost. The
goods inv9iced $4,000: Being the only
GENTLY great to enable them to take this
great stock in its entirety. Hartman Sc
cured the goods for $62, 800, one-third
of the entire stock was shipped to Min
neapolis and is stored in Hartman g
store: Hartman s wagons have been
working overtime for the last few days
getting samples of the various lines of
goods to the store, preparatory to the
sale, which starts Monday morning. It
is the purpose Of the Hartman store to
close out this stock and have inaugu-
rated an extraordinary sale for the
purpose.
Mr.. Frank D. Rubel, manager of the
Minneapolis. branch Of the Hartman
Furniture & Carpet Co., said in an in
terview yesterday: ssThe Straus people
certainly believed in buying good goods
I will give them credit for good judy
ment and taste. This stock is as fine as
any that was ever shipped into Mime
apolis. The goods are strictly. high
grade in every particular. The furniture
is made right. It was a big purchase tt
be made at this season of the year, but
the price was so very attractive thai
our people were glad to scoop it in. Il
goes to show what the Hartman con
Germ can do. They are used to big
transactions and no stock is too grea1
for them if they can get the price dow1
to a figure which will enable them tx
offer the people something extraor
binary. We are certainly going to Civ
| the people something extraordinary il
this sale. I thoroughly believe that i
will be the biggest event Of the kim
that Minneapolis has known. We ar
going to push it for all we are WORT

HOW BIGELOW

Of his stealings from the First National
bank from May 25, 1904, until April 25

To his friends it was a matter be-
yond belief for long time, and those
who had trusted him could not realize
it until they found on record the figures
which told of the great gap in their ac-
counts. 49,
Mr.. Bigelow began his crooked work
in the bank on May "a, 1904, when he
charged the Chemical National bank Of
New York with $4,000, for which it
was not indebted to the First National
bank of. Milwaukee. -.
It does not appear from the state
ment to the courts in just what way he
obtained the money, and it is not wholly
clear to the attorneys. The various
sums which he took, but from the face
Of them it is impossible to tell how
trace of them was covered in the Mil
waukee banks accounts. .:
July l, 1904, he had increased his
stealings to $4,000. He was then gain
ing momentum, and by July 2 he had
taken three sums Of $22, 900 each. The
amount Of his thefts Sept. h d reached
$4,000: He was now plungl Sums
frenzied demands.
In the month that followed, he
charged the First National bank Of Chi
cago twice with $4,000, and twice with
$4,000 in lump sums, his total defalca.
tions, Oct. l, being no less than $3.50,
! 400.
To a man Of Bigelow's means, this
| already spelled ruin, even tho he were
never detected. To replace $45O,00C
was made president of the First Ma
little besides comparatively small
amount of stock in the bank.
Coils Of his own weaving were now
binding him close: Nov. l, 1904, he hae
Increased il, his defaleation to $685., $50
They stood at this figure, for a month
crushed by the load. It was beginning
to tell even upon Bigelow, but the
breathing spell which he allowed him
self was only preparation for another
desperate plunge.
Jan. l, 1905, when the bank exam
liner was due, he must have been the
victim Of narrowing emotions, unless
his conscience was wholly stilled, fo1
in the thirty days preceding he hat
taken over $35O,O00 additional, and tn,

He took $4,000 in the month fol

IT am pretty well convinced that in
the past it has cost about as much to
defend railroad from political attack
as it would to accept the impositions

imposed, and I do not think it good
policy to engage in political fghts.V
This has really been the attitude of
the Great Northern in Washington for
some time. In that state the Hill road
was never much Of a political factor

energy, and makes life a burden; it
opens the doors to all evil germs and
makes the body too weak to resist
them.
