A CORRECTION.

Editor of the Capital The official
report of proceedings at Tuesday s
meeting of the Board of County Com
missioners was incorrect in some par.
ticulars and misleading in others. In
his attempts to belittle the horrible
conditions that exist among the So
called resorts in the Third and
Fifth districts of this county, the
counsel to the Board consumed much
time in what might be styled grand
stand play and finally In q humor-
Gus manner proposed that l be made q
special officer of the Board.
This position readily agreed to
other Office that | hold. and if the
Board would clothe me with ample
authority, but by vote Of 4 to 2 the
Board declined to appoint me under
such conditions.
AS to the information which refusep
TO divulge, it would have been the
sheerest folly to have given publicity
to a miscellaneous gathering of peo-
pie, among whom l recognized some
of the law breakers themselves, the
very facts obtained at some trouble
and expense and thereby defeat my
object and the ends of justice. True,
Mr.. Bannon wanted my facts very
badly, but tine Board didn't.
When that body is ready to serious
~ attack the evils complained Of and
needs more information than l have
already given it. the Commissioners
can count upon me, as they can call
on all the decent people of the county
to aid them by every means IN my
power.

Baxter Springs news. [volume] (Baxter Springs, Kan.) 1882-1919, 1905-11-30

Frequent baclsache and distressing
pains, accompanied by offensive dis
charges and generally by irregular
and scanty menstruation indicate dis
placement or nerve degeneration OF
the womb and surrounding organs.
The question that troubles women
Is how can n woman who has some To-
male trouble bear healthy children?
Mrs. Anna Potts, of $40 Park Avenue,
Hot Springs, Ark, writes: ?
Ny Dear Mrs. Pipkhami-
During the early part Of my married life1
was delicate In health both my husband and
were very anxious for a child to bless our
home, but had two miscarriages, and could
not carry O child to maturity. A neighbor
who had been cured by Lydia Z. Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound advised me to try it. I
did so and soon felt that ! was growing
stronger, my headaches and bacl,nchcs left
me, I had no more bcaringdown pains, and
felt like new woman. Within q year /
became the mother of q strong, healthy
child, the Joy Of our home. Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound Is certainly .
splendid remedy, and wish every woman
who wants to become mother would tryit."
Actual stcrility in woman Is very
rare. II any woman thinks she Is ster-
lie, let her try Lydia Z. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and write to MIRA,
Pinllham, Lynn. Mass. Her advice 10
free to expectant or would-be mothers.

have q diplomatic talk with them
about their condition, cause II this
thing continued they would ruin the
show.
So pa went to the Office and sent for
them, and | was there as witness, in
case of trouble. The fat woman came
in first, and there was no chair big
enough for her, so she sat down on
leather lounge, which broke and let
her down on the floor, and pa tried
to help her up, but 1t was like lifting
a load Of hay. So he leaned her against
tho wall, and said:
Madame, the management has de-
tailed me to censure you for losing
flesh, and ! am instructed to say II
you do not manage to take on about
80 pounds more flesh before the show
starts on the road. you don't 60 along.
What you want to do Is to eat more
Btarchy food, and sleep more at night.
They tell me you 60 out nights to
dances, and drink high balls, and this
has got to stop. Drink beer, and eat
cheese sandwiches at night, or 1t is all
of. This show can't afford to take
along no 4O0-pound fairy for a fat
woman when the contract calls for
500-pound mountain Of flesh, see?" and
pa looked just as stern as could be.
The fat woman began to cry and sob,

setting fire to the furniture, and they
brought the bearded woman and the
fat woman to their senses, by pouring
water on them from hose. Finally
they Tere sent to their quarters, and
the other owner of the show came to
pa and said he hoped this would be the
last OF that kind of business, as long
as pa remained with the show, that
one of the rules was that no man in
an executive capacity must under any
circumstances take any liberties with
any OF the females connected with the
show.
Pa was hot, and said when women
got crazy In love no man was safe, and
the other owner Of the show said that
was all right this time. but not to let
It occur again. and pa tried to explain
how the bearded woman came to jump
on to him and faint in his arms. but
the owner said: THAT Is all right, but
you can't hold 'em in your arms before
folks" and then pa offered to whip any
man who said he was In love with any
bearded woman, and he pulled of his
coat. Just then I came along and told
the whole story. and then the crowd
all had good laugh, and pa took them
all out and treated.

WOMEN WITH FEDERAL JOBS
According to Last Report There Arc
1880 in the Various
Departments.

II Is more than 40 years since Cen.
Simmer. who has been called the IA
Their of the employment Of women in the
federal service" found places for Few
women in the treasury department al
Washington. He was then treasurer oil
the United States. and there was q
great dearth of eligible employees in con-
sequence of the drafts made upon the
young men of the country by the civil
war. Gen. Spinner proposed the en-
ployment of women in place Of men,
and the idea which he started has gone
on almost uninterruptedly since, but not
to the extent that Is popularity sup
posed.
BY the last government report 1t ap-
pears that there are 10000 men In the
federal service Of the government as
clerks, bureau chiefs and messengers, OF
whom not one-half receive $3.50 a year
or less.
There are 1880 women and girls In
the federal departments, Of whom 6.363,
somewhat more than half, receive less
than 1920 a year. OF this number 1000
are in the post Office service, 1.l50 in the
treasury department, $500 in the bu-
reau of engraving and printing, 1000 In
the Indian service, 600 In the govern
ment printing office, 209 in the war de-
partment, $50 in the pension Office. Sc in
the navy department. 1871 in the depart
ment OF agriculture and 10 in the depart
ment of state.
Less than ten per cent. Of the federal
employees are women. and q great ma.
jority Of them hold minor positions at
small pay. An outcry was made after
the close Of the civil war by those who
feared that by the employment Of wom-
en- and girls men were deprived Of fair
chance of livelihood in Washington, but
the fact is that the number Of men has
increased very much more largely than
the number of women in federal depart
ments during the last rs years.

RELICS OF coNFgpERAcy.
Important Archives That Have Been

Washington contains other little
known but important relics OF the con-
federacy. Among the most Important
are the pickett Papers" When tho
most important Of the confederate
archives were removed from Richmond
the diplomatic correspondence was
hidden In a barn In Virginia. Later
the papers were brought in four trunks
from Richmond to Washington by Col.
John T. Pickett, their custodian. Fall
ing In his ghosts to dispose OF them.
he took them to Canada and there, In
1872, they were purchased for the use
Of the United States. Congress ap-
propriated $4,000 In payment and they
were brought to Washington. They
remained In their original trunks until
n short time ago, when they we're
transferred to specially constructed
chests OF polished pine.
In another small, dark room In the
treasury building stand seven large
packing boxes, filled with confederate
money. q portion Of which was cap
tured from southern banks and from
confederate soldiers and which was
forwarded through the war department.
to the treasury. The larger share OF 1t
was collected by treasury agents, VINO
conducted the cotton business OF the
United States In 1864 and succeeding
years. Every variety OF confederate
note or bill may be found In these
boxes.
Among the confederate archives

Something Curious.

As neither weddings nor funerals
take place in the treasury, the appear
ance of a man staggering down the
main steps with one huge floral piece
topping him like an umbrella, and an
other forming a breast-plate. put sew
eral people in q gust Of excitement the
other afternoon. says the Washington
Post. The man, suggesting bouquet
Of red and white roses on legs, put his
burden in a wagon at the curb, but be-
fore he could drive of. q spry young
fellow read the card attached to one
Of the wreaths and q $3.50 woman
looked al II she wanted to. but didn't
dare. The flowers probably repre-
ssnted their part in some honor paid
10 o departmental dlgnitary, but 1t
helped to show how little 1t takes TO
capture the public eye.
