Hearing how. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
| Compound had saved other women from
serious operations / decided to try it, and in
less than four months l was entirely cured;
and words fail to express my thankfulness."
Miss Margret Merkley of 275 Sd
Street, Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"Loss of strength, extreme nervousness,
severe shooting pains through the pelvic
organs, cramps, bearing down pains, and
extreme irritation compelled me to seek
medical advice. The doctor, after making
an examination, said that Ihad ovarian trou-
bic and liberation, and advised an operation
as my only hope. To this | strongly objected
and [ decided as a last resort to try Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
etc my surprise the liberation healed, all
the bad symptoms disappeared, and l am once
more strong, vigorous and well; and l can
not express my thanks for what it has done
for me-"
Ovarian and womb troubles are
steadily on the increase among women
and before submitting to an opera
ton every woman should try Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and
write Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass.
for advice.
For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has been curing
the worst forms of female complaints,
all ovarian troubles, Inflammation, ul-
ceration, falling and displacement OF
the womb, leucorrh9a, Irregularities,
indigestion and nervous prostration.
Any woman who could read the many
grateful letters on file in Mrs. Pink.

THE POPULATION OF CHINA
Reasons to Believe That the Usual
Estimates Are Very Greatly
Exaggerated.

In q recent issue of the National
Geographical Magazine reason is given
in an article by Rear Admiral Clark,
for believing that the population Of
China is commonly very much overes-
timated. The population was stated
in the old school books to be $50, 000,-
900, but nowadays it is said to be over
400, 900, 900. Were the latter figure cor
rect, says the Baltimore Sun, and were
Chinese wealth proportionate to sup
posed numbers and intelligence, the
yellow peril" might be serious indeed;
but Rear Admiral Clark. after careful
attention to published facts and much
observation in China itself, is of the
opinion that there are less than 200,-
000,0 900 people in China. The Picking
authorities probably have reports as to
the number of people in the several
provinces, but the published estimates
are believed to be more or less mac
curate guesses of travellers, mission
aries and diplomats.
The rear admiral. after several
months spent in each of the principal
seaports and six months in the valley
of the Yangtze-penetrating as far as
Ichang, 1000 miles up the river and
beyond the reputed populous districts
finds the current accounts of density
Of population unreliable. The country
people do not live on their farms, but
in villages, and these villages are usu-
ally small and widely separated. There
are vacant areas. The tiger is said to
be encountered in all portions of Chi
ma, though there is no jungle, as in
India, and this fact negatives the idea
of a population so dense as to "uti-
lie every foot of SOIL"
The larger cities of China are not so
large as they are commonly said to be
and do not compare in extent or popu-
lation with the larger occidental cities.
Canton, the wealthiest and, after Pc
king, the most populous, is found on
personal examination not to exceed an
area of siz square miles, much of
which area is unoccupied ground. The
streets of Chinese cities suggest den
sity of population by reason of the fact
that they are narrow and much
%.hronged; but this impression is large.
ly due to the circumstances that the
people live On the ground floor, and
the visitor, for this reason, finds him
self working his way through a dense
crowd" A western city of the same
extent, with residences of from three
to four stories, Office buildings of II
,, stories and rapid transit, would house
a vastly larger population with less
show of crowding. Upon the whole
! the prevalent opinion as to the popu
l~ousness of China is, according to Real
, Admiral Clark, open to question. 1t Is
based, perhaps, upon the stories of as
tonished travellers and missionaries o.
the early part of the last century, who
, had no adequate means of getting a
the facts. A Chinaman visiting New
York might infer that the United
States is very densely populated, bu
: travel in the interior would disabus,
his mind of such error.

LATE POLITICAL NOTES.

President Roosevelt, having
helped to reconcile Japan and Russia,
1t is now up to him to harmonic Gov
Cummins and Secretary Shaw, so that
at least, peace may reign in Iowa. The
president enjoys undertaking difficult
tasks, and it would be a great triumph
to make the Iowa idea and stand-patism
lay down together, like the lion and the
lamb.
The Chicago beef packers have
succeeded in postponing their trial
and Secretary Moody is sitting in the
palm garden at the Auditorium trying
to explain how it happened. In the
meantime George w. Beavers is still
at large, though he was indicted two
or three years ago. The department of
justice needs to wake up and edo
things"
Speaker Cannon will hardly look
with favor upon the aspirations of Con-
gresham Littauer to be appointed
chairman of the appropriations commit
tee. even though he is "the warm person.
al friend and close political adviser" of
the president. 1t would be somewhat
awkward to have the republican leader
of the house twitted with illusions to
those army glove contracts and the stat
ute of limitations.
1t is intimated that when the
other big life insurance companies
are investigated there will be mora
disastrous disclosures for their policy
holders than those the Equitable have
had to endure. These savings banks,
for that is what they are. must be d.
vorceG from the railroad interests that
control Wall street, OF they will be
wrecked, as other corporations have
been to build up fortunes for individu-
ais.
THE first business the United
States senate should do upon meeting
is to declare vacant the seats of all
senators convicted of crime. The SEN
ate Is the Judge of the election and
qualification of it's members, and If II
wishes to preserve its credit for being
the greatest legislature body on earth,
and beyond reproach, it should cleal
its seats Of corruptionists without fear
or favor. The republican party. which
controls the senate, cannot afford to
shelter those who have been proven
guilty in open court, and it should moi
ex9ect the democratic minority tc
mike the first move by introducing The
re solution for expulsion.

Cured Her Rheumatism.

Deep Valley, Pa, Oct. End (Special)-
There is deep interest in Green county
over the cure of the little daughter of
I. N. Whipkey of Rheumatism. She was
a great sufferer for five or six years, and
nothing seemed to do her any good till
she tried Dodd's Kidney Pills. She be
gan to improve almost at once, and row
She is cured and can run and play as
other children do. Mr.. Whipkey says:
81 am indeed thankful for what Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done for my daughter;
they saved her from being a cripple per-
haps for life"
Dodd's Kidney Pills have proved that
rheumatism is one of the results of
diseased Kidneys. Rheumatism is caused
by Uric Acid in the blood. If the KID.
neys are right there can be no Uric Acid
in the blood and consequently no Rheu-
matism. Dodd's Kidney Pills make the
Kidneys right.

Muut Keep Arms in Car.

For the second time the suit of Sam
uel B. Stewart, of Decatur, ILL.,, asking
$25, 900 damages against the st. Louis
Transit Co., closed in the United States
circuit court with a verdict for the de-
PENDANT. Stewart claimed that he was
riding on an east-bound Olive street
car, and at Charming avenue the car
colllded with a west-bound Olive street
car, f%racturing his left arm in three
places. Witnesses testified that Stew
art was riding in a seat near the front
Of the coach, and had his left elbow
resting on top of the window guard.
The defendant held that it had notices
in every car warning passengers not to
put their arms or hands out of the
window. 1t also alleged that Stewarts
arm was outside of the car, and thnt,
when passing, the west-bound car
struck it The jury rendered a verdict
favoring the Transit Co.

MISSOURI a NEWS.
After IN. Courthouse burned.


That incendiaries started the fire
which destroyed the county courthouse
at New Madrid'is the positive convic-
ton of the officials after a thorough
preliminary investigation. That the
motive was to secure the liberation OF
one of the prisoners now awaiting
trisl-presumably n of six murderers
lis the belief of the sheriff. This re-
lease, it is asserted, it was planned to
secure by the burning of the indict-
ments and the destruction Of any evil
dence sent to the courthouse for future
presentation in court. This is the gen.
orally accepted theory, but the plot
will be baked, it Is confidently stated.
Although all the indictments against
the alleged murderers, as well as
many other true bills returned against
men charged with minor crimes, have
been burned, Prosecuting Attorney
Rutletige is already at work drawing
up amended indictments, and these
will be returned in court as fast as
prepared. Judge Riley is giving vigor-
Gus cooperation In this work. AS soon
as informed of the probable motive OF
the fire he determined to do his best
to balk the plotters, To this end he
arranged to open a temporary court In
the city hall. OF the six men accused
of murder, four had been notified their
trial would begin wiInin a few days

which was under the Jail porch in the
evening, was found, and it is believed
it was used by the incendiary or in
cendiaries in climbing to the loft. A
small door in the gable opening into
the loft, was seen to be open when
the fire was first discovered. There had
been no fire in the building since las1
winter, and as there were no carpets
on any of the floors, 1t is believed i'm
possible that the blaze could have orig

been debarred from the country by the
immigration authorities upon returning

tate.
