Dark Niqht in Virginia.

Great inconvenience and excitement
were caused Saturday night by the
phenomenal darkness. 1t was SO dark
about 7 O'Clock that several people
in the neighborhood who attempted
to do their Saturday night dealing at
country stores got lost, and som did
not get home till morning.
People could be heard following for
help all over the county. 1t seems
that the dark clouds were SO low to

Miss Hate MsDOnold

More than likely you speak the same
words yourself, and no doubt you feel
far from well. The LUIS may be easily
traced to some arrangement of the fe-
male organs which manifests itself in
depression of spirits, reluctance to go
anywhere or do anything, backache,
bearing-down pains, fiatulency, nerv-
business, sleeplessness, le~ucorrhoa.
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and unless
needed a life of suffering or a serious
operation is the inevitable result.
The never-failing remedy for all these
symptoms is Lydia e. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound.
Miss Kate Mcdonald, of Woodbridge,
N j., writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
I" think that a woman naturally dislikes to
make her troubles known to the public, but
restored health has meant so much to me that
] cannot help from telling mine for the sake
of other suffering women.
"For a long time ! suffered untold agony
with q uterine trouble and irregularities,
which made me q physical wreck, and no ono
thought / would recover, but Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has entirely
cured me, and made me well and strcng, and
feel it my duty to tell other suffering women
what q splendid medicine 1t is"

BILE Compound at once. and write to

The Columbia is Low.

The Moro Observer says Columbia
river men predict that November Of
this year will see that sream at the
lowest stage in its history. There is
not much water between the locks and
The Dalles now, and if the water con
tinues to fall navigation will become
difficult later on. Oregon is now
0.39 inches short Of the usual rain
fall, measuring from September l.,
1864. For the frst time since 1881,
"A years, the water in Fraser river has
dropped so that the bars in the river
are exposed and miners are working
them. The Columbia is fed under
similar conditions and 1t is reasonable
to suppose that the results will be the
same. The one great benefit of the
low stage of water will be the oppor-
tunity afforded to blast troublesome
rocks that hinder navigation opposite
Biggs. But before the red tape can
be manipulated high water will again
run in its course.
