= To be such successful wife. to re-
tain the love and admiration of her
husband, to inspire him to make the
most Of himself, should be q woman's
constant study. 80
If a woman finds that her energies
are tagging, that she gets easily tired,
dark shadows appear under her eyes,
she has backache, headaches, bearing
down pains, nervousness, irregularities
or the blues, she should start at once
to build up her system by tonic with
specific powers, such as Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound.
Following we publish by request a
letter from a young wife:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
Ever since my child was born have suf-
iered, as hope few women ever have, with in
fammation, female weakness, bearing-down
pains, backache and wretched headaches. II

PASSENGER CLEARS ACTE
ST. PAUL MAN THROWS MORE
LIGHT ON COLLISION OF STEAM
Frs AT LAKE MINNETONKA.

Captain Heath OF the Acte was not
to blame for the collision between the
Acte and Comet near Casce point,
Lake Minnetonka, on July TO-, accord
ing to Edwin A. Blomgren, AL Vir-
GINA avenue, st. Paul. Mr.: Blomgren,
who was a passenger on the Acte at
the time Of collision, takes exception
to several statements made by j., NJ.
Hawthorne Of st. Paul in his letter
The Journal Of Friday, and gives
the following account Of the accident:
"Mr. Hawthorne says that the cap
tain of the Acte disregarded the sig
nails of the Comet. All who were
aboard the Acte at the time of the
accident will testify, that Captain
Heath did not disregard the Comet g
signals. The Comet signalled the Acte
to 90 ahead, and then failed to give
signals. The Comet signaled the Acte
bow. -
"The Comet, as may be inferred
from Mr.. Hawthorne statement that
It contained fifty passengers, is a fair
ly good-sized boat and the duties Of
running the engine, managing the
helm and collecting the fares, are too
many to be successfully performed by
one man. The accident was undoubt-
edly due to the inability Of the captain
of the Comet to handle his boat alone.'

EUSTIS SEEKS TO
Be CONGRESSMAN
WILL BE A CANDIDATE REGARD.
I LESS OF FLETCHER's PLANS.
Democratic Congressional Committee,
Viewing Fifth as Doubtful District,
Brings Every Possible Pressure to
Induce John Lind to Enter the Race.

William Henry Eustis will be a can
didate for the republican congressional
nomination regardless of whether Mr..
Fletcher later decides to enter the field
or to stay out. Mr.. Eustis will file in
a few. days, thereby formally announc-
ing himself.
The assurance that Mr.. Eustis is to
enter the congressional race adds new
interest to that. contest. Three other
candidates are already in the field and
have filed, Albert II. Hall. w. D. Wash
burn, Jr., and T. j. Cation. Mr.. Fletcher
has steadfastly refused to make any
announcement since his return and
mind. This is taken as a sure indica-
ton that Mr.. Fletcher is planning to
be candidate as soon as he sees the
field beginning to split. ,...
Considerable discussion Of the pro-
posed informal congressional conyen-
ton is heard among the republican
workers turnout the county and it is

the party workers will indorse a candt-
date and announce that they will sup

SO, there is reason to believe that a
bad split will be averted.
More than usual interest centers in
the congressional contest. The demo
cratic national congressional committee
places the fifth Minnesota district in
the doubtful column, and for the last
year has been bringing every possible
pressure to bear to make John Lind
re-enter politics and make the run
again. Mr.. Lind has taken the stand
that his personal affairs are too press
ing, but may at the last moment be
induced to get into the fight. In any
case, Mr.. Lind will at the request of
! the national committee give every as
sistance to the democratic candidate
selected by the committee. The demo
cratic plan is said to be to take ad
vantage of splits in the republican
ranks because Of fierce primary fight

Riggs talking to Miss Ellison at Hud-
son the day before the murder and that
Miss Ellison was crying Another
woman was with them but she had
nothing to do with the conversation,
which was confined to Riggs and the
woman who was to be his victim.

met him the day. before the murder and
asked him to take Miss Ellison to the
National hotel. The train had just
