The following letter is only one of many thousands which are on file in the Pinkham office, and go to prove beyond question that Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound must be a remedy of great merit, otherwise 1t could not produce such marvellous re- suits among sick and ailing women. Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
 About nine months ago was great suf- ferer with womb trouble, which caused me severe pain extreme nervousness and ire quent headaches, from which the doctor failed to relieve mo. tried Lydia K. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound, and within a short time felt better, and after taking five bottles of 1t was entirely cured. therefore heartily recommend your Compound as a splendid uterine tonic. It makes the monthly periods regular and without pain and what a blessing 1t is to find such remedy after so many doctors fail to help you. I am pleased to recommend it to all suffering women. n- Mrs. Sara Wilson, 3l East Sd Street, Cincin- nati, Ohio.
 If you have suppressed or painful menstruation, weakness of the stom- ach, indigestion, bloating, leucorrhea, flooding. nervous prostration. dizzi- ness, faintness, don't-care and want-to- be-left- alone" feeling. ex- citability, backache or the blues, these are sure indications of female weak ness, some derangement of the uterus or ovarian trouble In such cases there is one tried and true remedy-Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

The duties of the Secretary of State have been unusually arduous for the past four years and the Secretary has never had a robust con- stitution The international complications required careful study and the best Of diplomacy have always had the personal attention of MT. Hay. and his successful management of American interests Is matter of history The failure of the ar btraton treaties was a blow well as a surprise, and the disappointment Of the Secretary was a we'll known fact In Washington, but he has kept at his desk and few ever suspected that his physical condition was as weak as it proved to be last week when he almost collapsed when going aboard the steamer for a short trip and a rest Few men in public office are so unremitting in their attention to duty as Secretary Hay, and it Is said that he had been advised to take long rest, but delayed following the advice until he was compelled to do so It has been inti- mated that MT. Hay would like to retire from public life, but has not done so be- cause of the urgent request of the Pres ident. His future line of action in this respect will now be controlled by the re- suit of his trip If he Is benefited he VIII remain in office, but If the trip is not as beneficial as he expects it to be- 1t Is be- lieved his resignation will be placed In the hands of the President in a few months.

IS STANDARD OIL AGAIN
BY w. r. MANNING.

Washington, March 25.-Utah is DOT tion of the United States that has caused Its full share of trouble and the Mormons have been held responsible for a large share of 1t, but the recently discovered Utah coal lands frauds promise to bring into an undesirable prominence many Americans who are not affiliated with the Mormons. It Is tolerably certain that the government has lost at least $6OOO,OO0 by the manipulations of the various syn dicates that have secured possession Of the rich coal lands in Utah and powerful influences are at work to prevent full investigation, which may result in many indictments The interior department cannot easily have remained in ignorance of what has been going on, but no steps were taken to interfere with the plans to secure the rich fields. Blnger Hermann, the congressman from Oregon, now under indictment in connection with land frauds, to whom land frauds were re- ported while he was commissioner of the land office, did not take any action and it is said afforded unusual facilities to the agents of the syndicates to secure patents on desirable coal lands. Not less than S3U,0O acres or coal lands are ihNolNeo anu the government could have demanded pay at the rate of s20 an acre. The Standard Oil interests are the strongest in the field, and while there are others they have been kept from developing their h. terest by the usual application of Stand ard oil methods by which the railroads have been controlled. While Washington officials have been either ignorant or compaisant, the Standard oil has been gathering all the lands possible and now that they are about to be investigated there is a noticeable air Of preparation for European tours by officials whose tes- timony might prove of value. John D. Rockefeller and George J. Gould have long been seeking to obtain control of the coal supply in the west. Among the other names mentioned in connection with lands of great mineral value in Utah are: Adolphus Busch. the St. Louis brewer and politician; Reed Shoot, U. s. senator for Utah; ex-Governor Odell Of New York and Joseph Letter of Chicago, but the interests of the Rockefeller Gould syndicate are greater than all the others combined

 For, despite the discoveries of science, the common remedies of the day are de- signed to treat the organ, not the nerve the symptom instead of the cause.

SELMA ASSURED IF FAIR NEXT FALL Money Has Been Raised to De-
 fray Expenses PAID FIRE DEPARTMENT Establishment of the Department In Selma Will Place That City
 On Second Class
 Basis.

Selma, March 25.-(Special.)- )-The success of a fair held in Selma next fall is as- sured. The committee appointed by the Commercial and Industrial association to solicit subscriptions to stock have about finished their work, and reported tonight $5500 as having been subscribed They ex- peet to get $500 more with ease making the amount round numbers The authori- zed capital of the concern will be 310,000, but 1t is not expected that all of this amount will be necessary as Selma has already a splendid race track of a milo with grandsstands, stables, etc., and that the only building that will have to be erected will be an exhibition hall. This will not cost over 5000. and It is expected to use the remaining amount of the capital stock in premiums and advertising. In addition to this, there will be purses of about $l0OO0 hung up for races and as the date for the Selma fair will probably be the week following the Birmingham it Is expected that a large number of horses will come here and the racing will be of high class.
 The fair will partake both of the nature of an old-time agricultural fair and an up- to-date carnival. and will be run both day and night. The final reports from the committees that have been appointed will be made Tuesday night. and then the pa- pers of the incorporation will be filed and the proper legal steps taken for the for nation of the Central Alabama Fair as- socation.

Paid Fire Department Assured.

The committee appointed by the Indus trial and Commercial association to takc up the request that came from the city for hold in the establishment of a paid fire department have secured enough sig natures of insurers to donate 10 per cent of their policy premiums save the first year, to guarantee the 5000 asked by the city.
 The establishment of paid fire depart ment in Selma and the making of a few other improvements as asked by the Southeastern Tariff association will place Selma in the second class of cities, the class now being the third and will give about & per cent reduction in insur- ance rates. The city authorities caleul- ate that the first years increased cost of a paid department will be S65OO and asked the citizens to pay s3000 of this amount we-lch they have cheerfully agreed to and now the city will go ahead and get a written guarantee from the tariff asso- ciation as to the reduction in rates and then the paid department will be install- ed at once.
