The wonderful power of Lydia q.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases Of womankind is not be-
cause It is a stimulant. not because it
is palliative, but simply because it is
the most wonderful tonic and recon-
structot ever discovered to act directly
upon the generative organs, positively
curing disease and restoring health and
vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
ell parts of the country by women who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the virtue OF
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com.
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where it Is due.
If physicians dared to be frank and
open, hundreds of themwould acknowl.
edge that they constantly prescribe
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com.
pound in severe cases of female ills, as
they know by experience it can be re-
lied upon to effect cure. The follow
ing letter proves it.
DR.. s. G. Brigham, of Brigham

'My oldest daughter found it very benefi-

The QUANTRELL RAIDERS
Movement On Foot at Lawrences
Kas. to Revive Old Indictments.
The Movement the Result Of Inflnm-
nntory Utternnces At the Inde-
pendence (sfo1 Reunion.

Lawrence, Kan, Aug. S1.--A move
ment has been started here growing out
the annual reunion OF the Quantrell
raid survivors, held yearly at Inde-
pendence, Mo-, to have the men who
were indicted for the famous raid
brought here for trial, because OF their
alleged in1ammatory utterances.
November 18, 1863. grand jury returned
2S indictments against the raiders for
murder in the first degree. Under the
law these indictments do not outlaw,
and now many citizens of Lawrence
want them revived. They want to put
the question: up to Gov. Folk whether
or not he will send the men back for
trial.
At the recent reunion at Independence
one man was quoted as saying that his
only regret was that the raiders had
not wiped out the whole town.
There is an indictment on file here
against this man. Judge S. A. Riggs
drew the Indictment at the time. He
says he is ready to assist in vigorous
prosecution.

BURNED THE ARMY CLUB.
Result of Crusade Against Beer Dis.
pensaries.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Sept. 4.-The
most sensational development in warm
crusade against several dispensaries of
beer close to the army post in Chicka-
mauga Park was the mysterious burn.
ing of one of them at 3 o'clock Sunda,
morning. The fire was undoubtedly
of incendiary origin, as none of the peo-
pie employed at the place had been
about it for several hours. The loss
was about $1,000.
The dispensaries near the post are
operated as clubs, and only soldiers
whose names are enrolled as members
are supposed to be able. to get drinks.
1t has been charged recently, however,
that any one who has money to pay for
drink could get it. Last week the
proprietor of one of the clubs and
several of his employees were indicted
by the Walker County Grand Jury.
North Georgia farmers have stated re-
peatedly that they would put the clubs
out of business. Many of the officers
of the Twelfth Cavalry have expressed
themselves in favor of the clubs on the
ground that they took the place of the
army canteen and prevented the sol
diers from coming to the city and get
tinu drunk.

New York, Sept. Bradstreet's
weekly review says:
September opens with fall buying ap-

currency shipments to the country to
move crops increasing and with conf
dence as to the outlook for trade pre-
yiously noted strengthened by the sue
cessful issue of the Russo-JapaneSe
peace negotiations. These latter, joint
ly with the increased pressure of sur
plies of agricultural products at leading
markets, have had a distinct effect upon
many commodity values, the tendency
being toward a lower level in cotton,
live animals, potatoes and butter. 1t is
to be noted, however, that home prod
ucts are strong and higher on the week.
