BRAYTON MAN KILLED.
S. n. White Crushed by an Engine
Falling Through Bridge.

A deplorable accident occurred last
Thursday evening which resulted in
the death of s. II. White OF Brayton.
Mr.. White had been running a saw
mill in the timber near Brayton, but
was changing to Dedham where he
had moved his family about two weeks
ago. With two other men he was
making his way north with his trac-
ton engine and two wagons loaded
with coal and machinery. All went
we'll Until they reached the bridge near
John Greenlee's about FIVE miles north
east of Audubon. When the outfit
was fairly on the bridge, IL went down
and Mr.. White was pinioned beneath
the engine by which he was so badly
bruised and scalded that death came
as a relief the next morning The
situation for the men who were with
him and those who responded to the
calls for help was trying in the ex-
treme Owing to the fire and smoke
and steam IL was impossible TO do
anything for his relief for some time
after the accident occurred. When
they succeeded In releasing him he
was taken To the home of John Green,
lee where DR.. Brooks relieved him as
much as possible but with little or no
hope OF saving his life. One OF the
men drove through TO Dedham for his
wife but she did not reach the place
until after his death, The body was
brought TO town by Undertaken Hoover
and prepared for burial. Sunday
morning IL was taken TO Brayton
where the funeral was held that after
noon. Mr.. White was the son OF Nj.
M. White of Atlantic, who came up TO
Audubon Friday afternoon TO arrange
for the funeral. The deceased was 43
years of age and leaves wife and
one child. The loss OF her husband
and especially the manner OF his
death elicit for Mrs. White and her
child the most sincere sympathy.

A SENSIBLE STATEMENT

There are republicans and republic
cans, but there is no reason why they
should not dwell together in peace.
while agreeing in the main, there are
of course differences as to this or that.
There are those who believe In the
present necessity OF a broad reciproc-
ity policy; others who are of opinion
that the. reciprocal arrangements
should be very carefully and SPAR
ingly made; while still others view the
whole scheme as an indirect method
for introducing low tariff. There
are many who contend for careful ex-
animation of certain classes of tariff
schedules with view to making such
notifications as Changed conditions
may justify" while many others are
constantly more or less alarmed for
fear that changes of some schedules
will be attempted. But all these are
protectionists; hence are republicans.
The rule of the majority is cardinal
tensto republicanism and contest with
in the party should be for the purpose
of securing full understanding of the
principles involved and adequate
knowledge of facts bearing onthe con-
troverted issues. The entry OF bitter
ness or acrimony is the death OF argu-
ment Sane discussion free from AFRO
gance, innuendo or the casting of sus'
picion upon an opponents motives or
honesty, except where tangible facts
can be cited to justify suspicion, is
what is needed. The more We can have
Of discussion, the more surely will the
majority arrive at sound conclusions
before the time arrives for the ballot
box decision. -Traer Star-Clipper.

and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of O wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1s43 she married Isaac Pinkham,
a builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in a physician only in specially
urgent cases. By tradition and ex-
perience many of them gained won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics Of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took q great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; so, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex-
pressly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses of the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi-
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief Of these was a rare combina-
ton Of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure Of the ills and weaknesses pecu-
liar to the female sex, and Lydia E. Pink
hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, with.
out money and without price, as a
labor of love.
But In 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were toe
much for the large real estate interests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, SO when the Centen
NAL year dawned it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound was made known
to the world.

o. O. GREGG HAS A METHOD TO
KILL WILD MU ;TARD.
A Farmer Mysterious.y Disappears
from White Bear-Poles Win
at Winona-Notes.

Minneapolis-Wild mustard, the bug
bear of the northwestern farmer, may
be eradicated from grain fields by
spraying the grain with a solution Of
sulphate of iron. This is the an
nouncement of o. c. Gregg, superin-
tendent of the state farmers institu-
ton, who has been conducting a series
of experiments on his farm in Lynd,
Lyon county. Mr.. Gregg declares he
has established absolutely that the
mustard pest can be killed by using
the sulphate of iron solution.
Farmers who have waged war
against the wild mustard will appre-
ciate the Importance Of Mr.. Greggs
discovery. Securing a foothold in a
field of grain, the mustard spreads
rapidly, and unless entirely eradicated
before 1t goes to seed, it will cover
the whole field within few years.
Different methods of discriminating the
pest have been resorted to, but none
seems entirely satisfactory. as the
mustard seeds are tenacious and the
plant is prolific.
The method used by Mr.. Gregg in
killing the mustard is simple. When
the grain was about four inches high
and the mustard plants had developed
three leaves, he sprayed his fields with
the sulphate of iron solution and
found that the mustard was destroyed
while the grain was not affected. The
only difficulty he has ecountered has
been in procuring machinery which
would do the work of spraying cheaply
and economically.
Mr.. Gregg will discuss his expert
ments at the farmers institutes to be
held next winter.

But, of course, all this wisdom was

dure in the matter.

restore the family fortune. They
argued that the medicine which was
so good for their woman friends and
neighbors was equally good for the
women of the whole world.
The Pinkhams had no money, and
little credit. Their first laboratory
was the kitchen, where roots and
herbs were stepped on the stove,
gradually filling a gross of bottles.
Then came the question of selling
it, for always before they had given
it away freely. They hired a job
printer to run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits of the medi-
cine, now called Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, and these were
distributed by the Pinkham sons in
Boston, New York, and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties Of
the medicine were, to great extent,
self-advertising for whoever used it
recommended 1t to others, and the de-
mand gradually increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts the FAM

tons of roots and herbs are used annu-
ally in It's manufacture.
Lydia E. Pinkham herself did not
live to see the great success of this
work. She passed to her reward years
ago, but not till she had provided
means for continuing her work as
effectively as she could have done it
herself.
During her long and eventful expe-
rience she was ever methodical in her
work and she was always careful topre-
serve record of every case that came to
her attention. The case OF every sick

ing symptoms, treatment and results
were recorded for future reference, and
to-day these records, together with
hundreds of thousands made since, are
available to sick women the world
over, and represent vast collabora-
ton of information regarding the
| treatment of woman's ills, which for
authenticity and accuracy can hardly
be equaled in any library in the
world.
With Lydia e. Pinkham worked her
daughter : in law, the present Mrs.
Pinkham. She was carefully instructed
in all her hard-won knowledge, and
for years she assisted her In her vast
correspondence.
To her hands naturally fell the
direction of the work when it's origina-
tor passed away. For nearly twenty
| five years she has continued it, and
nothing in the work shows when the
first Lydia e. Pinkham dropped her
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham,
now the mother of a large family, took
it up. With women assistants, some as
capable as herself, the present Mrs.
Pinkham continues this greatwork, and
probably from the Office of no other
person have so many women been ad-
vised how to regain health. Sick wo-
