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 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 Il. 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 a great extent,
self-advertising, for whoever used IL
recommended it to others, and the de-
mand gradually increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts the fam
lily had saved enough money to com
mence newspaper advertising and from
that time the growth and success Of
the enterprise were assured, uEtil to-
day Lydia E PinlSham and her Vege-
table Compound have become house

tons of roots and herbs are used annu.
ally in its manufacture.
Lydia E. Pinkham herself did not
live 70 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 expo
rience she was ever methodical in her
work and she was always careful to pre-
serve record of every case that came to
her attention. The case of every sick
woman who applied to her for advice
and there were thousands-received
careful study. and the details, includ-
ing symptoms, treatment and results
were recorded for future reference, and
to-day these records, together with
hundreds of thousands made since. arc
available to sick women the world
over, and represent q 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 its origina-
tor passed away. For nearly twenty
five years sne has continued it, and
nothing in the work shows when tho
first Lydia E. Pinkham dropped her
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham,
now the mother of a large family, took
it up. With woman assistants, some a.
capable as herself, the present Mrs.
Pinkham continues this great work. and
probably from the office of no other
person have SO many women been ad-

Omaha, Feb. 17.-Pat Grove is
found not guilty of roboing Edward "A.

a verdict after having been out seven,
teen hou-s. The defendant thanked
the jury for the verdict and was the
recipient of many congratulations
from the large crowd in the court
room.
1t required quite an effort to stop
the demonstration, but it was sup
pressed, and Judge Sutton, manifcstly
indignant, said: Il am greatly sur
prised that the acquittal of notorious
criminal in this court room should
be received with applause" 81,
Trial of Grove began Wednesday
of last week. The charge was that OF
robbing Edward A. Cudahy, Sr,
through putting him in fear, of bag
Of $4,000 in gold. This charge grew
out Of the kidnapping of Edward A.
Cudahy, Jr.. the night of Dec. 10, 1900,
by two men, then alleged Grove and
Callahan.
1t was not long after the kidnap-
ing that Callahan was arrested. Upon
trial he was acquitted. Grove was
not arrested until last fall at Butte,

pleaded that he had gone without
weapons with intent to surrender him.

.DEADN0OD HAS HER SAY
TELLS WHAT CAUSED THE
BOYCOTT
SAYS COMPANY sRokE ITS FAITH
Deadwood Claims the Company
Accepted a Proposition
There

People buy goods where they can
get them for the least money. This is
q cold, hard fact that communities
as we'll as individuals must recognize
and abide by. If the Downie- Wright
people will furnish machinery, etc.
cheaper than anyone else. every man
who wants that class OF goods will buy
OF them, and the Deadwoul boycotters
will DO among the first to hustle their
orders in. Money talks. Boycotts only
show the mental condition OF those
who sign them.
The following is Deadwood's reply to
the publication of the boycott.
Mr.. Downie came to Dead wood and
was introduced to tho Business Mems
Club as a man seeking a location for
q machinery manufacturing company.
The members of the club met during
business hours frequently, went over
the situation with him, and at length
found location which he admitted
was satisfactory to him, but which
would cost tho business men of Dead
wood S.. 500 In cash to acquire. 1t was
agreed by the business mon to raise
this amount and buy the site for his
plant, or in lieu thereof, make him a
cash donation of that amount, and ct
the same time the good will OF all the
mining companies represented in the
city, or controlled by the business
interests OF Deadwood, wa, pledged to
aim ii he located here. All this
seemed to be satisfactory to Mr.. Dow.
ME. Nothing more was heard from
him until some weeks subsequent. when
an article appeared IN the Pioneer
Times. presumably written by Mr.,
Downie, or his associates, advising the
people of Deadwood that he had de-
cided to locate in Rapid City.
If Mr.. Downie had gone to Rapid
City and established his plant With
out having first exploited the business
men of Deadwood, it Is more than
likely that nota voice would have been
raised in protest, and the chances are
that Deadwood business men would
have gone to Rapid City and have
purchased machinery Of his house,
provided they could have gotten it as
cheap or cheaper than they could else

N. j.. where he had been taken three
weeks ago, in the hope that the
change might benefit his health, which
had suffered breakdown two months

Mr.. Mccall had been unconscious

He smiled and as he did so his eyes
closed again and he remained in the
coma until the end.
1t was announced that Mr.. McCall's
death was due to enlargement Of the
liver and the end had been peaceful
and without pain.
Mrs. Mccall is now under medical

burn Rate Measure.
Washington, Feb. 19.-President
Roosevelt, in recent talks with sena-
tors and representatives has stated
that while he is not attempting to
dictate the Technology Of the railroad
rate bill, his preference is that the
substance Of the Hepburn bill should
be kept. He has taken occasion to
say that he cares very little for the
form of the bill If the essence" is
kept. There are two or three minor
points as to which he thinks amend
ments may possibly be made with ad-
vantage, as for instance, instead Of
making thirty-day limit for the time
when regulation is to take effect, to
make it go into effect at any time set
by the interstate commerce commits
sion. The president has felt that
there are arguments both for and
against the proposal that II stay is
granted the railroads shall be required
pending the decision to pay into court
the difference between the rates as
they exist and as they will exist II
the commissions ruling is sustained.
The president has emphasized that
the main point is appeal to the courts.
The Hepburn bill itself, the president
believes. allow such appeal and so
does every other proposed bill in both
houses. The proposals coming from
Senators Aldrich. Foraker and others
who hold similar views to that, look.
ing to a complete re-trial of the case
by the courts, both as to the law and
the facts, the president does not be.
lieve in. He believes, as outlined in
his speech before the 1roquois club
last May, that the appeal to the courts
should be only to test whether the or.
der of the commission is, in whole
or in part, confiscatory and also to
test the legality Of the order. The
president is entirely Indifferent as to
the form Of the provisions in the bill
80 long as the substance is right as
set forth above.

RAPID CITY, SOUTH DAKOTA FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1906

He said he had been on spree for
three days and the night before the
ROBBERY he went TO bed calculating to
get up in the morning aud 90 to work.
He awoke up about two o'clock nearly
dead with thirst and he had no water
in his cabin and so he started through
the camp to find water but all the bust
ness houses were closed and the only
thing was to 60 to the creek, which he
did, as he got near the creek he saw
two men jump up and run. so he
thought he would go and see what they
were doing. He found the trunk as they
had opened it and pulled out the
clothing, but heihad found the gold and
keepsakes so thought he might as we'll
take them. After hearing his story
made a motion that If he would leave
the gulch and never show his head in
it again we would let him go. The
boys after considering the affair
agreed to my motion, but how could we
do it when there were at least forty
men and boys outside waiting to be
let in to see the hanging. The rest OF
the jury left it to me to notify them
what we had concluded to do. put
on bold front and stepped to the door
and called their attention to his story
which might be true. Some Of crowd
were satisfied with the decision while
Others were very mad over it and swore
they would shoot him on sight but
I had good many friends in the crowd
and they stood by me. The next thing
was to get him away from the crowd
and on his way out Of the country he
had nothing to take. not even as much
as cent. SO went out to his cabin and
got his frying pan and coffee pot and /
stopped at the grocery and got ten cents
worth of -four some coffee and piece
of bacon, put it into sack and went
back to the room.
They got him all ready and the jury
got him in the middle of them and we
marched down the gulch with the
crowd following, threatening to shoot
but they could not without hitting some
Of the jury. They followed for mile
or more and finely left. We went
short distance farther with Bill and
then told him what course TO take for
Pierre. He shook hands with all the
boys and bid them goodbye and when l
came to shake hands and bid him
goodbye, the tears rolled down his
cheeks as he said to me 81. J.-you have
saved my life" That was the last l
ever saw of Bill Mcdonald. I heard
from him through friend that met
him in Washington where he went
from the hills and went to work in
shingle factory and had become veal
thy and respected by all who knew him.
He sent me word if there was anything
he could do for me to let him know.
