Brigham Says
MANY PHYSICIANS PRESCRIBE
Lydia E. Pxnkkkaz,,,S
Vegetable COMPOUND

The wonderful power of Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womankind is not be-
cause it is stimulant, not because it
is palliative, but simply because it is
the most wonderful tonic and recon-
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the generative organs, positively
curing disease and restoring health and
vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
all 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 a cure. The follow
ing letter proves it.
DIR. S. G. Brigham, of 4 Brigham
Park, Fitchburg, Mass, writes
"It gives me great pleasure to say that I
have found Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound very efficacious, and often pre-
scribe it in my practice for female difficulties.
"My oldest daughter found it very benefi-
cial for uterine trouble some time ago, and my
youngest daughter is now taking It for fe-
male weakness, and is surely gaining in health
and strength.
'I freely advocate it as most reliable spe-
cific In all diseases to which women are sub
ject, anil give it honest endorsement"
Women who are troubled with pain
full or irregular menstruation, bloating
Tor fatulence), leucorrhoea, falling, in
fammation or liberation of the uterus,
ovarian troubles, that bearing-down
feeling, dizziness, faintness, indiges-
ton, nervous prostration or the blues,
should take immediate action 10 ward
off the serious consequences, and be
restored to perfect health and strength
by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vsgeta-
BILE Compound, and then write to Mrs.
Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass, for further
free advice. No living person has had
the benefit of q wider experience in
treating female Ills. She has guided
thousands to health. Every suffering
woman should ask for and follow her
advice if she wants to be strong and
we'll.

MISS HULDAH MEEKER.


The death of Miss Huldah Meeker,
which occurred at her home in the
Cross Highway district of Westport,
removes from the community wom-
an we'll known and highly respected
among Greenfield residents, smany Of
whom were intimately associated with
her by strong ties of relationship and
domestic fealty. For many years she
has moved labout in our midst, IA
millar figure indeed, whose face will
be much missed. Miss Meeker had
been a sufferer from chronic dropsy
for several years. For the past two
months she had failed steadily and
two weeks ago was obliged to take to
her bed. Blood poisoning developed
and the end was then seen to be ap-
preaching. Dissolution followed a
long period of unconsciousness. The
deceased was the last surviving men,
Der of a family of six children. IN
like the rest of her family she never
married, preferring to live quietly and
alone in the immediate vicinity Of
the friends she loved with almost ma
ternal devotion. To her the ties of
kinship we're ever sacred and no one
more than she appreciated the hours
she spent in having her loved ones
about her. The funeral was held at
the Green's Farms Congregational
church, Tuesday afternoon, Rev Carl
ton Strayer, the pastor, officiating.

The collapsing of the Kansas avenue
Soldier creek bridge without warning
occurred about 4 p. m. Saturday.
Story of the Accident.
Ralph Cecil, a son of J. F. Cecil,
North Topeka nurseryman, who was
driving a horse and buggy across the
bridge at the time it was swept away,
and Oscar Maze and Noel Lodge who
were standing close beside Place were
thrown into the stream when the bridge
gave way. Young Cecil had partic-
ularly thrilling experience. AS the bridge
swayed, Cecil made an effort to gain
the other side, whipping and urging his
horse forward. One end of the bridge
careened and the horse struggled for
foothold on the wet and slippery plank
ing but the bridge swept from the abut-
ment- Horse, buggy and driver disap-
peared momentarily in the muddy wa
ter. Soon the horse swimming hard
broke to the surface. The harness and
it was soon swept out OF sight beneath
the flood. Cecil was carried down
stream, fighting valiantly for his life.
He managed to keep his head above
water and as the current swept him
past tree he caught its projecting
branches and clambered to a place of
safety.
A boat happened to be at the Car
field boat landing an eighth of a mile
away was quickly secured by Ralph
after trying experience during which
their boat nearly capsized, reached
Cecil and brought him safely to shore
Guy Place, Oscar Maze and Noel
Lodge who failed to reach the land
in safety when the bridge cracked were
whirled down stream clinging to the
bridge. There were a number of peo-
pie on the bridge watching the raging
torrent just before the bridge went
out but all of these, with the exception
of the three mentioned, got to the shore
in safety when the cracking OF the
timbers of the bridge gave a warning
of what was about to occur.
The wrecked bridge with its three
passengers clinging to it was swept
on down stream until it reached the
abutments of the Santa Fe railroad
bridge where it went to pieces. Noel
Lodge though unable to swim managed
to keep afIoat and catching hold of
some wild grape vines which trailed
in the water, pulled himself to shore.
Maze soon swan to a place of safety,
but Place, unable to swim soon sank.
Little Warning Given.
The Kansas avenue bridge was appar-
entity in no danger whatever Saturday.
The water was not on level with the
bridge by several feet and it was
| thought that it would be able to with
stand the high water. In consequence
| the bridge was being used by teams al
of Saturday morning and right up to the
| time that it went out. County Commits
sioner w. E. Sterne made an examina-
| ton of the bridge shortly after the ac-
| cident occurred and he expressed the
opinion that the swift current had wash
ed away and completely undermined the
south pier causing the bridge to give
way. Though old and built a good many
years ago the wrecked bridge was one
of the most substantial iron bridges il
| the county.

TAFT SAILS FOR HOME.
Secretary Saw No Anti-American Feel
ing in Japan.

Yokohama. Sept. 18.-Secretary of War
Taft and party sailed at 8 O'Clock Sunday
afternoon for San Francisco on the steam
er Korea, amid Japanese enthusiasm. Sec
rotary Taft was given a reception at the
American consulate by local merchants.
Before sailing Secretary Taft said that he
thought that reports of the japanese anti
peace demonstra tons had been greatly ex-
aggerated in America. He and his party
had travelled all through Japan and had
found no trace of any anti-foreign or anti
American feeling. While prominent
American party had been involved in a
Toxic mob, he thought that it was be-
cause the party happened to be caught in
the mob, and not because they were Amer
leans Other churches besides American
churches had been burned. There was a
special reason in each case, but no general
anti-foreign feeling was responsible.
Secretary Taft said that he had exam
ined the Chinese boycott closely. The Chi
neSe, he said, want American goods bad
", and having already lost SIS 100000 by
the boycott, are finding out that they are
cutting off their nose to spite their face.
Miss Alice Roosevelt will return home
on the steamer Siberia.
The local situation continues quiet.
