MANY DISEASES
ARE PREVALENT IN PANAMA,
ACCORDING TO KENTUCKIAN.
SO Much Yellow Fever That Ten
Graves Are Kept Ready For
Emergencies.

New York, July 5.-George 6. Mat
lock, of Louisville, KY, superintendent
OF a dock at Christobal, who was among
the passengers on the steamer Advance,
which arrived today from Panama,
said:
Things are very bad at the isthmus.
The diseases prevalent are measels,
black measels, smallpox, yellow fever,
Chagres fever and malaria, and there
was one case of bubonic pleague. The
dead train runs from Colon to Monkey
Hill cemetery, mile and half south
of Colon, always once, and sometimes
as many as fourteen times day, and
it sometimes has as many as four
comns aboard. In fact, there is so
much yellow fever about that they keep
ten graves always ready for cases OF
emergency.
The working clerical force on the
isthmus is about 80 per cent. short.

In time to sail
Miss A. A. Robinson, of New York,
who has been a hospital nurse on the
isthmus, also returned on the Advance.
Miss Robinson said she had been about
a year on the isthmus, and was very
glad to be back again.
The supply of nurses" she said, 'is
beginning to fall off, and by fall the
hospital at Panama will be very short
handed. None of those who are leaving
now will return to Panama, and many
others will leave as soon as possible.
The pay, considering the conditions
that prevail, is not sufficient. Thesick-

-Four Facts. For
Sick Women
To ConSidez
Lydia E. PinBharl'S Vegetable Compound
Has an UnequaHed Recotd Of Cures
Mrs. Pinkham'S AdUice Is ConfIde1-
fial, Free, and altcays Helpful

FIRsr.-That almost every operation
in our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect Of
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful menstruation, leucorrhea,
displacements of the uterus, pain in
the side, burning sensation in the stom-
ach, bearing-down pains, nervousness,
dizziness and sleeplessness.
SECOND. The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number of
absolute cures of female ills is Lydia
f. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
1t regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been helping
women to be strong, curing backache,
nervousness, kidney troubles, all utter
inc and ovarian Inflammation, weak
ness and displacements, regulating
menstruation perfectly and overcom-
ing its pains. 1t has also proved itself
invaluable in preparing for childbirth
and the change of life.
THIRD.-The great volume of unso-
licited and grateful testimonials on file
at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, many of which are from time to
time published by permission, give alb
solute evidence of the value of Lydia
f. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinkham's advice.
FOURTH Every ailing woman in the
United States is asked to accept the
following invitation. 1t is free, will
bring you health and may save your
life.
Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation
to Women Women suffering from any
form of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs. Pink
ham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are
received, opened, read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way of recovery
advised. Out of the vast volume of ex-
perience in treating female ills Mrs.
Pinkham probably has the very knowl-
edge that will help your case. Surely,
any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish
if She does not take advantage of this
generous offer of assistance.

CHINAMAN DROPS FROM VIEW
Joe Chung, Cunning Street Laundry
man, Has Not Been Seen Since
Last Monday.


What has become of Joe Chung, the
Chinese laundryman who has managed a
laundry at 222S Cunning street for the last
thirteen years?
The police cannot answer the question.
nor can those who live In the vicinity OF
the laundry. Chung has dropped from sight
under circumstances that look suspicious.
He has not been seen since last Monday.
when he locked his place OF business and
gave the key TO his neighbor, Joe Christof-
erson, cobbler, saying he was going 10
take a number Of bundles to South Omaha.
The more the case is probed the deeper
grows the mystery. Chung has managed
laundry at the address given for thirteen
years and was known to be frugal. He
enjoyed a. good business, and It is believed
he saved much money. On several occasions
he confided his hopes of returning TO the
land of his birth.
Detectives are working on the case and
are running down every elew, as foul play
has been limited at, Quite a number OF
people have called at the laundry since
Monday and have failed to get any re,
Spouse. Many have bundles there that
have not been delivered.

FIGHT TO TAX FRANCHISE
Western Union obstruots Proceedings Be-
fore Council with Legal TsOhDisslitisL
CLAIMS STATE HAS NO SUCH RIGHTS
MOrsman Says only New York,
Home of Company, Has Power
20 Levy on Franchise
of Company.

The interjection OF technicalities based
on legal points delayed the hearing OF
Western Union officers by the city council
In the attempt made by the city legal de-
partment and council to reassess the fran
ohise of the telegraph company for 1904
and 1905 Saturday morning. No evidence
had been taken UP to IL o'clock.
Attorney w. NJ. Morsman for the COM
pany insisted upon going into the legal
phases Of the case first After he and City
Attorney Breen had discussed the matter
from this standpoint for more than an
hour, Superintendent c. b. Horton of the
Western Union was put on the stand. Be
fore he had contributed any information
Attorney Morsman interrupted with num-
erous technical objections, which President
Zimman OF the council overruled on the
advice Of the city attorney after they had
been argued.
Result of Court Decision.
The attempt to reassess the Western
Unions local franchise grows ont of the
supreme court decision which declared un-
constitutional the statutory provision FIX
Ing the value of local telegraph franchises
as the gross state receipts during the year
preceding BY carrying the case up the
company saved paying taxes on an assess
ment of $4,000, amounting to about S175
taxes for the year 1904. The 1905 tax case
is pending in the district court, but as the
same questions are involved there is no
chance for anything but like decision.
I'VE propose to show" said City Attorney
Breen, that the Western Union has q
franchise in Omaha greatly in excess o!
SIS, 900 value. That the real value OF all the
company property, tangible and intangi-
BILE, in this city is not anything like 5000
which the company returned for tangible
property, but nearer $4,000 or $4,000. We
hold that the value OF the Omaha franchise
based upon the proportion !n relation to
the value OF the entire plant, is worth al
least $4,000"
No Taxable Franchise Here.
Mr.. Morsman said the companys position
was That 1t had no franchise in Omaha OF
Nebraska subject to taxation; that the cor
porate rights of the company were derived
in New York, which is the only state that
! has a right to tax it on franchises and the
right to occupy the streets, highways and
alleys derived from the post roads act by
| congress. In this connection he said the
city has no right to bar out or permit the
company to place pole lines on the streets
or alleys and for this reason no grants are
conferred by the city and no compensation
can be asked in return.
In the afternoon Superintendent Horton
was examined as to the earnings of the
company, tangible property in Omaha in
detail and along lines tending to show the
actual investment here and the returns
produced by business OF all kinds. AS the
/ corporation lawyers wanted to make ex-
tended arguments the hearing went over
until Tuesday night at the regular council
meeting.
