The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1906-07-06

Before wrote to you, telling you how
felt, L had doctored for over two wears steady
and spent lots of money on medicines besides.
but it all failed to help me- NY monthly ne.
RODS had ceased and suffered much pain.
with fainting spells, headache, backache and
bearing-down pains, and / was so weak 1
could hardly keep around. As last resort
I decided to write you and try Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, and l am so
thankful that did, for after following your
instructions, which you sent me free of all
charge, / became regular and in perfect
health. Had it not been for you / would be
in my grave to-day.
81 sincerely trust that this letter may lead
every suffering woman in the country to
write you for help as did"
When women are troubled with ir-
regular or painful periods, weakness,
displacemento or liberation of an organ,
that bearing-down feeling, inflamma-
ton, backache, hatulence, general de-
bility, indigestion or nervous prostra-
ton, they should remember there is
one tried and true remedy. Lydia E.
Pinkham'sVegetable Compound at once
removes such troubles.
No other female medicine inthe world
has received such widespread and un-
qualified endorsement. Refuse all SUBJ
stitutes.
For 25 years Mrs Pinkham, daughter
in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, has under
her direction, and since her decease,
been advising sick women free Of
charge. Address, Lynn, Mass.

New Pleasure Fleet.

A Philadelphia has had a happy
idea, which will enable the country to
take its pleasure sadly this summer, In
the good, old "Anglo-Saxon" fashion.
says a writer in Everybody's Maya
zine. He has invented a pleasure
railway" This is to carry submarine
boats or cars that will dive under q
lake, pond, or other sheet of water,
and run at various depths on the bot
tom. A station stands at the waters
edge. Thence starts the track, run
ming In a vertically undulating direc-
ton to the bottom. The steel cars or
boats are shaped like hollow shell.
The top part is for passengers. The
rest is to be fresh-air reservoir while
the car Is under water. 1t is air and
water-tight. On the upper side Is q
removable water-tight, dome-shaped
hood of glass, whereby passengers
make their exits and their entrances.
A running cable pulls the car, operated
by grip in the passenger compart-
ment. BY happy inspiration Of Gre
alive fantasy the cars will be made
in the shape of and painted to resem-
BILE whales, sea serpents, krakens huge
and black, crocodiles Of old Nile, hor-
rible Appropriateness, alligators, hydras
and chimeras dire, gigantic Holsters
and other marine forms usually seen
darkly through and after Yorkshire
rabbits and midnight musty ale. Then
you can have ON your lake buccaneers
and buried gold and imitation coral
reefs and islets to suit the taste.
Suffuse all with the glare Of electric
light; and with all this scenery and
these bobbing monsters even melan-
choly man ought to sing for joy.

BURIED y HOURS; RESCUED
VICTIM OF A CAVE-IN rs TAKEN
OUT ALIVE.
Dramatic All-Night Struggle to Save
Plumber at Tompkinsville,
Staten Island.

New York, June 29.-After fighting
against death for more than % hours,
Jeremiah Fisher, plumber, was res
cued alive Thursday from sandpit
at Tompkinsville, Staten Island, in
which he had been imprisoned since
IL o'clock Wednesday forenoon. The
rescued man is in pitiable condition
from exhaustion, however, and it is
not at all certain that he will survive
the effects of his frightful ordeal.
Fisher was working in an excavation
when passing street car loosened
the earth around the hole and sent an
avalanche of sand pouring down upon
him. Before he could scramble out Of
it's way the sand had sifted in around
his legs, holding him as firmly as in a
wise and gradually rising until only
his head was visible. For hours a
large force of rescuers worked with
frantic haste in an effort to free the
imprisoned man, but the shifting sand
surged back and renewed its grip upon
the prisoner almost as fast as they
could remove it. When the rescuers be-
gan to abandon hope of getting Fisher
out alive, they reluctantly decided to
notify his family Of his predicament
and the wife, mother and brother were
witnesses of the all-night fight for life
which followed.
Hundreds of persons from various
scene and many of them remained
throughout the night. An ambulance
with physicians and nurses also stood
by in constant readiness to render any
aid they could, and two clergymen
who had been summoned awaited the
call to administer the last rites
should the task of the rescuers prove
unavailing. All through the night the
rescuers labored under the glare of
torches, and when daylight came they
had succeeded in uncovering the i'm
prisoned mans body as far down as the
hips. Then ropes were attached under
Fishers arms, but the combined
the imprisoned man an inch. Fisher
then was unconscious, and the physi-
clans who had been watching his con-
dition declared that there remained
only the faintest hope of his surviving
much longer. The rescuers stuck to
their task, however, and hours later,
when the last obstacle was removed
and the senseless form of Fisher was
drawn from the sitting hole, spark
Of life still fingered. His condition
was extremely critical, but the ply
sicians said that there remained a
chance that he might recover.

A Little Story About Flour.

Japanese astuteness has been no
more strikingly illustrated than in the
story told by Charles Edward Russell
in Everybody's Magazine, Of their OBJ
tanning an Independent and unlimited
source Of wheat supply. Japan raises
some wheat" says Mr.. Russell, but
not CROUCH, and for years she has i'm
ported heavily of American flour.
which is our article OF principal export
to the Pacific. Years ago Russia leased
from China a certain ample territory
in Manchuria, now tapped by the Rus
sian railroad. This territory contains
some of the best wheat land in the
world-undeveloped The Russians
quickly perceived the wheat possibili-
ties Of this region and had begun to
get It into order and to establish mills
and warehouses when the war came
on. The silent little brown men, the
nation Of imitators,' crumpled up the
great Russian power like so much
burned paper, and among the spoils of
their victory was the southern half of
that leased Manchurian territory, the
choice wheat land, and the railroad
that ran through it.
THAT territory can grow wheat
enough to supply all of the present
western Pacific -four trade.
''The Japanese government is now
engaged in spotting that region with
-four mills and developing the growing
of wheat. In year or two it will be
ready 10 produce -four. No hurry. The
Japanese are never hurried. Quietly
they plan and scheme; with wondrous
skill they build the trap and prepare
the tools, and when the proper time
comes go forth with certainty to skin
the prey"
