When physician tells q woman, suf-
fering from ovarian or womb trouble.
that an operation il necessary it, of
course, frightens her.
The very thought Of tho operating
table and the knife strikes terror to
her heart. AS one woman expressed
it, when told by her physician that she
must undergo an operation. she felt
that her death knell had sounded.
Our hospitals are full Of women
who are there for ovarian or womb
operations!
1t is quite true that these troubles
may reach stage where an operation
is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarer than is generally supposed,
because q great many women have
been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound after the doctors
had said an operation must be per-
formed. In fact, up to the point where
the knife must be used to secure instant
relief, this medicine is certain to help.
The strongest and most grateful
statements possible to make come from
women who, by taking Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, have
escaped serious operations.
Margrite Ryan, Treasurer Of st. An
drew's Society, Hotel English, Indian
apolis, Ind. writes Of her cure as follows:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
81 cannot find words to express my thanks
for the good Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound did me. The doctor said l could
not get we'll unless had an operation for
ovarian and female troubles. knew could
not stand the strain of an operation and made
up my mind l would be an invalid for life

talked to the court about the case, and
Judge Oliver had questioned the boys.
They were charged with stealing some
sacks of sugar from a Great Northern

Bicknell. I'VE watched our chance and
got the sugar. We didn't break the
seal on the car 1t was open and we
just went and took it,"
Judge Oliver was inclined to be
lenient with Bicknell and gave him
six months Jail sentence, which is not
to be enforced, but will be held over
him during good behavior. Bicknell
told the judgd that he would get
job and go to work by noon If he would
be allowed to go.
You get your job and hustle" SAID
Judge oliver. IF ever hear of you In
any more meanness I'll have you III

harm, but l got to drinking.
"a man has no right to start to be
drunkard before he is 25 years old,
said the court. But l will give you a
chance Keep away from saloons and
don't burn yourself up with whisky"
Robert King, who was indicted for
the same offense with Bicknell, came
up to- make his plea. The judge cut
him short, however, by springing his
record on him.

BANKS CONSOLIDATED At slBLEy

Bank There.

Special to Times Republican.
Sibley, Jan. 30. - A deal was con-
summated here last week whereby the
owners of the Sibley Savings bank
purchased majority of the stock of
the Sibley State bank and the business
of the two banks is consolidated un-
der the name Of the Sibley State bank
with George Lister, president; c. e.
Hanchett, vice president; Alfred Nor
ton, cashier; Ed w. Bailey, assistant
cashier. The stock purchased by the
Savings bank is that formerly owned
by Frank Y. Locke, H. c. Lucas and
L. Sperfeck. These named gentlemen
have interests at other points, which
together with the fact that 1t has been
apparent that Sibley had more good
banks than was needed, led to the con-
summation of the deal. 1t Is readily
conceded on all sides that the consol-
idation is wise when considered from
any business point. The State bank is
enhanced by strong local capital and
Sibley now has two safe and solid
banks.

This is the philosophy Of Judge John

was propornded in passing sentence
on two boys who We're brought before
him for petty thievery.
The announcement of the judge was
brought about by question which
Attorney Ian Sullivan had asked IN

have evidently been thorn in the side
of the well known criminal lawyer.
What are yc..oing to do with boys

Mt. Ayr, Jan. 30.-The defense in
the Day Duaning case expects to get
ats innings today, but the case is still
q long way from conclusion, for Clyde
Cumming, ca shier of the oefunct bank,
and C.. A. Mast, Of Davenport, the ex-
pert accountant, are expected to oc-
cupy the witness chair about a day
each. If thu. defendant himself takes
the stand, us is highly probable, he
will also have long ordeal to under
go.
The attor leys, however, will expe-
dite matters as much as possible, as
Judge Evans has made the request on
account Of the fact tl-at his mother,
who is SO years Of age, lies dangerous
" Ill at Seymour having had a stroke
of paralysis, and he is anxious to get
to her bedside at the earliest possibre
moment. 1t hardly seems possible that
the case can go to the jury before
Wednesday evening, and probably not
that soon.
Some obs servers who wish for the
conviction of Mr.. Dunning professed
to see the mind Of the Jury in cir
cumstance Saturday afternoon when a
tort to an attorney for the defense on
cross-examination. According to these
observers, the jurors could not control
their demes nor, but plainly indicated
their pleasure in their facial express
sions. Certain it is that a good deal
of damaging evidence was given, partly
in the shape of admissions made by
Mr.. Dunning shortly after the failure
and now related in the form of the es-
innate placed by local business men on
the value OF the Dunning land and the
notes held by the bank.
The defense has sought: in its cross
examinations to suggest that would
be purchasers were interested in de-
preciating the market value of the
land, and 1t is even suggested that, al
tho the opinion of most Of the wit
nesses as to the value of the notes is
perfectly sincere there Isl possibility
that movement is on foot to buy the
claims at q. low figure from the dis
couraged creditors who are pressed for
funds.
